The news of Long Yubei's flash marriage with an orphan sparked a lot of discussion.
On the way back to Qinyuan District, they passed by a jewelry store and bought the wedding ring.
Once they got home, the designer for wedding dresses quickly arrived to tailor outfits for them. Tang Qingli also promptly booked a studio in City A for the wedding photoshoot; the rest was handled by the Long Family.
After all, there truly weren't many days left until the end of February.
During dinner with Long Yubei, Tang Qingli had something unknown carried up, several large boxes were taken upstairs. After dinner, when she went to check, she was instantly dumbfounded.
The whole set of outfits, including clothes, shoes, hats, masks, watches, and jewelry, along with cosmetics, were all neatly displayed by more than a dozen servants.
Opening the wardrobe door, all she saw were extremely beautiful clothes.
*One look was enough to tell they were worth a fortune.*
"Do you like them?" he asked, leaning against the door.
Thinking of how Gu Xichen used to criticize her dressing style, she nodded, "I do. What woman doesn't like beautiful clothes?"
"Glad you like them."
He turned around to go drink tea.
She reached out and browsed through them, taking out a dress she wanted to try on.
She casually changed into it, and just before she looked in the mirror, he walked in again.
"How is this dress?"
Long Yubei's eyes glinted darkly, his gaze landing on her open neckline.
His hand gently rested there, his long arm reaching out to pull her into an embrace, his husky voice asking, "Did you do this on purpose?"
"What did I do on purpose?"
"Seduce me," he said, lowering his head to capture her slightly parted lips, pressing her directly against the wall.
Gu Lili's originally neat clothes ended up in a mess because of him.
*Having become his rightful wife, he fearlessly devoured her completely without worrying whether such days would end tomorrow.*
*Spending the night together, Gu Lili was awakened by Long Yubei the next day when it was already late morning.*
"Time for breakfast."
"What time is it?"
"Nine o'clock."
She opened her eyes slightly, with a tone of complaint, "If you hadn't tormented me so much last night, I would've been up earlier."
"I clearly remember someone kept shouting it felt incredible last night."
She buried her head in the blanket, refusing to admit, "It wasn't me who said that."
Long Yubei pulled the blanket off her and kissed her on the cheek, "Get up quickly, we have a wedding photoshoot today."
She struggled to get up from the bed, got dressed, and washed up.
She unplugged her charged phone and powered it on.
Then she took it downstairs.
While having breakfast, she ate as he watched from the side.
"Why are you staring at me like that?"
"Early this morning, Gu Xichen from the Gu Family mentioned you by name and came to find you. I didn't let him in."
"I really don't know what he's up to," Gu Lili said as she ate. "He was the one who called off the engagement and got a girlfriend. We agreed to leave each other alone, yet he still tries to meddle. If not for him being my mentor's son, I'd have already beaten him up."
No sooner had she mentioned him than the phone rang, and it was indeed Gu Xichen calling.
She put down the spoon, pressed the answer button, "Hello."
"When did you meet Long Yubei?"
"None of your damn business."
"Is it because you met him that you happily canceled our engagement?"
*Gu Lili really wanted to take a hammer to his head,* "Gu Xichen, you were the one who mentioned canceling the engagement first, I just agreed to it. I met him after we called off the engagement."
