Old Master Shen was still talking on and on, but his smiling face was as red as a cooked prawn. She was squirming, not daring to make a sound, and not daring to raise his head.
Old Man Shen ignored her modesty and insisted on grabbing her hand and placing it in Shen Canghao's palm. Then, he said to himself, "In short, the two of you must live well since you two are married. Grandfather is alive for one day, so you're not allowed to make trouble, and you're not allowed to break up either."
His last sentence seemed to be directed at Shen Canghao, with a deep meaning and sharp eyes.
Shen Canghao smiled and firmly held onto Huaiyan's hand, "Grandfather, you can rest assured that we will listen to you."
She lifted her head to look at him, only to see that he was also looking at her. His gaze fell on her face and carried a faint warmth, causing her heart to ache. This could be considered a form of threat, could this be considered a form of promise?
But could Grandpa live long enough for them to lose all their white hair and teeth? Can grandpa move when they don't have the strength to change a life partner?
Even before she was married, she seemed to have guessed the end of the story.
"Go. Bring little girl Yan along and try on her wedding dress."
Old Man Shen nodded his head in satisfaction. His eyes seemed to be slightly moist when he let go of their hands.
When the two of them were almost out of the living room, he took a few steps forward, as if he was worried about something. He looked at him eagerly and said, "Cong Hao, your mother is feeling really bitter right now. Don't make her angry again."
He was momentarily stunned. After a long time, he slowly broke into a smile. "Grandfather, please give me some time. I will adjust it well."
"Go ahead. The two of you must be fine."
"Goodbye grandpa."
With a smile, she turned around to say her goodbyes. She felt that the old man in the dusk was so kind and gentle. Her heart was filled with joy and comfort.
"What did grandpa do to you?"
Shen Canghao asked as they got into the car.
Huaiyan was slightly startled, but when she thought of the old man's request, she cautiously said, "When grandpa first saw me, he thought that I was very similar to his deceased grandma …"
Shen Canghao's long eyebrows twitched. He still remembered her appearance vividly. She didn't look the least bit alike to him, "That's not necessarily true, is it?"
"I don't know. I saw the photo, it didn't look like it at all, but grandpa, maybe it's because my expression that day and my cowardly look was really similar to grandma when she was young …"
"Is that all?"
He interrupted her, thinking that his grandfather must have had something to do with her.
"That's all …"
When she spoke, she suppressed the matter that Old Man Shen had brought up deep in her heart.
His attitude seemed to have slightly changed as he silently drove towards the wedding dress shop owned by the Shen family. The wedding dress that his grandma was wearing was kept in a glass cabinet in the underground storage room. Since his grandpa asked her to wear this priceless antique, he naturally wouldn't object.
Mr. Givenchy, the great designer who had designed so many beautiful dresses for Audrey Hepburn, was long gone, but the beautiful dresses he had left behind, along with the beautiful wedding dress passed down by the Shin family as a family heirloom, were still breathtakingly beautiful.
The simple design of the brassiere style, the exposed back, the narrow waist, the extremely long and fluffy skirt, although not fashionable yet full of charm, had long been waiting by the side of the advanced tailor.
Even Shen Canghao was stunned. The two women, two generations apart from each other, were actually both beauties of a unique wedding dress.
He was amazed at first, at this coincidence, and at the unique charm of her changing into a wedding dress. But gradually, a restless feeling began to rise in his heart, all of this, he wanted to prepare for Su Lai, wanted her to enjoy. He had never thought that it would be this woman who suddenly appeared out of thin air …
"Since it's suitable, let's go back." His tone was low and calm as he opened his mouth to speak. He looked at Ye Zichen with a surprised expression, but in the end, he still went back to change his wedding dress and leave with him.
After sending her to the apartment building, he did not get out of the car. He said without turning his head, "Tonight is the last night of my life. Chen Er and Ah Yang have invited me to drink. You can go back first. Don't wait for me."
Without waiting for her to reply, he immediately turned around and drove out of the district. He stood there with a smile on his face. It seemed like he had changed his mind a little too quickly …
However, the person who should have felt wronged and wronged was her! Who was he showing his face to?
The car stopped outside an unfamiliar bar. He didn't call Chen Erayan nor did he call Qu Zhen. He got off the car alone. For the first time, he didn't ask for a private room. He sat down at the noisy bar and ordered a strong whiskey.
Yes, he needed wine to give him courage, to marry him …
A woman who did not love, towards Xu Hanyan, had an unquenchable feeling, but he dared to swear that it would not be like the love he had for Su Lai.
Just by casually drinking a mouthful of wine, a girl dressed in gorgeous clothes had surrounded them boldly. This was the first time he did not reject these beehive butterflies of unknown origin, and generously invited them to drink.
Shen Canghao raised his head and gulped down the alcohol. He took out a cigarette and was about to light it when the girl sitting opposite him took his own and walked over. "Big brother, let me help you light it …"
He narrowed his eyes and sized her up like a scoundrel. From the woman's eyes that were filled with hope and light, he could tell that although he was unhappy, he did not refuse. He inexplicably wanted to hurt her once, as if this was the only way to quell his unwillingness to marry her …
The woman directly brought the cigarette she lit to his lips, and just like that, she leaned her body forward. Shen Canghao didn't seem to see her light the cigarette for him, and then, with his face twisted, he took a deep breath, before slowly exhaling smoke onto the face of the woman in front of him …
"Big brother …"
She looked at him with a wronged expression, but Shen Canghao simply smiled. He reached out his hand to pull her into his embrace, then lifted up the bottle of wine in front of him and placed it in her mouth …
