Chapter 669: 707
Stepping out of the fitting room, Hu Shuzhe’s eyes fixed on Michelle and he couldn’t help but exaggerate, "Tell me, Michelle, am I the bride or are you? No, no, you can’t look this stunning."
Michelle’s face turned red as she replied, "You picked this out, so you change it."
Hu Shuzhe giggled and said, "Let’s stick with this one. I’ll have pride if you look more beautiful, otherwise why would I choose you as my bridesmaid?"
At that moment, Hu Shuzhe’s husband glanced at Michelle, his eyes slightly glazed over. A girl as pure and angelic as her truly captivated hearts. Although not particularly handsome, he was not a fickle man. He genuinely liked Hu Shuzhe in college, completely unaware of his family’s superior financial standing, and loved her for who she was, not for his looks. Thus, he was exceedingly satisfied with Hu Shuzhe. Therefore, his gaze towards Michelle was solely because her beauty was irresistibly compelling, prompting him to take a few more glances.
That was also why Hu Shuzhe was willing to let Michelle be her bridesmaid. If her husband were unfaithful and wealthy, she would never allow such a gorgeous girl to be her bridesmaid—it would just be asking for trouble.
"Come on, let’s take some photos," Hu Shuzhe called out to Michelle.
The photographer on the other side was already prepared. For the affluent, their service was certainly top-notch.
Michelle and Hu Shuzhe stood in the center, with Li Yifei standing by Michelle’s side.
"Move in closer... yes, yes, boyfriends should wrap their arms around their girlfriends’ waists, and girlfriends should lean their heads on their boyfriends’ shoulders... perfect!" the photographer directed while continuously snapping the shutter. Having taken wedding photos for so long, girls like Michelle were rare finds. Most brides relied on makeup, but here was pure natural beauty. Girls like her, when photographed, turned out even more stunning.
Today, Michelle’s smile was especially radiant and sweet. Li Yifei’s recent kiss had left her heart fluttering; all her worries tossed aside, as long as she could be with Li Yifei, nothing else mattered.
After a round of photos, Michelle and Li Yifei went to change clothes. Michelle, with her back turned, stood in front of Li Yifei as he reached out and unzipped her zipper.
But this time, when he unzipped it, the upper part of Michelle’s wedding dress slid down her shoulders as she failed to hold it in place.
In the mirror right in front of her, Michelle could see Li Yifei standing behind her. Gazing at Li Yifei, she became somewhat infatuated, unaware of her dress slipping down and her upper body exposed, still entranced by Li Yifei’s reflection.
What Li Yifei saw in the mirror, however, was Michelle’s exposed chest, which made him cough lightly.
Michelle’s body jolted; she let out a startled "ah" and quickly raised her arms to cover her chest.
"Li... Brother Li... why... why did you undress me..." Michelle asked both embarrassed and flustered. Kissing Li Yifei was one thing, but facing him like this was too much for her.
Li Yifei couldn’t help but laugh and explain, "I was just pulling the zipper from behind, who knew you weren’t holding onto it in front, and off it slid as soon as I let go."
Michelle knew that what Li Yifei said was true, which made her even more embarrassed. As a girl, she naturally had the instinct to push the responsibility onto her beloved and snapped, "Whatever, it’s all your fault anyway."
"Yes, it’s my fault, so please put it on quickly," Li Yifei immediately said, turning his back to her.
Behind him came the sounds of Michelle taking off and putting on clothes. After the sounds stopped, an arm stretched over his own. Michelle had already looped hers through his, and in a soft voice said, "Brother Li, you’ve already seen it all before. One more look... I wouldn’t mind."
Li Yifei felt a stir in his heart and laughed, "Why didn’t you say that earlier? Then I wouldn’t have had to turn away and miss a great opportunity."
Michelle gently pinched Li Yifei and complained, "Brother Li, you’re so annoying."
Li Yifei laughed heartily, saying, "I’m just kidding with you, let’s go." He dared not continue like this with Michelle. Otherwise, they might both lose control. Liking someone is one thing, but now it really wasn’t suitable for him to develop feelings for Michelle anymore.
Michelle didn’t say much more. She was aware that things couldn’t go too far between her and Li Yifei, but being able to be with Li Yifei like this today had already filled her with contentment.
Then Hu Shuzhe took Michelle to buy two outfits, with her husband paying for everything. Li Yifei didn’t make any fuss. He didn’t care about these kinds of face-saving situations at all.
Hu Shuzhe was quite curious about Li Yifei’s behavior and asked Michelle quietly, "Michelle, your boyfriend is pretty generous, huh?"
Michelle chuckled and replied, "Why don’t you say he’s stingy?"
Being stingy is definitely different from being generous. If he were stingy, he would show a bit of smugness after gaining an advantage, but he just doesn’t seem to care at all, as if money means nothing to him. Is he also very wealthy?"
Michelle let out a light laugh and said, "I don’t really know." She truly didn’t know whether Li Yifei had money. Based on when they first met, Li Yifei was supposed to be penniless, but now Li Yifei had married Xu Yingying, who had been a boss for a few years and was certainly wealthy, so by extension, Li Yifei should be considered wealthy now.
Hu Shuzhe smirked and said, "Still keeping secrets from me, but I think you have good taste; this man is quite a catch."
"But not as good as your taste, catching such a golden husband," Michelle laughed lightly, feeling genuinely proud. The goodness of Li Yifei wasn’t something that could be measured by money.
Hu Shuzhe couldn’t help feeling proud and said, "Exactly, the person I choose can’t be wrong."
Michelle glanced at Li Yifei again. It wasn’t just her who thought Li Yifei was a good catch; many others did too. Moreover, this guy was already taken, and not just by one person. Even if there were a line, it wouldn’t be her turn. Now, she truly regretted that when Li Yifei first joined the company, if she had been more proactive, maybe Li Yifei would be her only one now.
Unfortunately, one wrong step, and now every step was wrong. She was even considering whether she should just let go of her inhibitions and be like Su Yiyi and Chu Xiaoyao. But reality kept her from doing so, leaving her no choice but to sigh silently, feeling quite bitter.
