Chapter 72.1 Don’t worry! There’s nobody here!!

Upon seeing Jiang Wenying’s arrival, Liu Mengxiang’s lips curved slightly.

Her eyes scanned Jiang Wenying from head to toe, and then she smiled knowingly, saying,

“So, you’re the Jiang Wenying who’s going to marry our Lu Fei?”

She then walked around Jiang Wenying, lifted her hands, straightened her chest, and continued,

“You don’t look that impressive, huh!”

Jiang Wenying, who was scrutinized and judged by Liu Mengxiang, felt her face darken slightly.

What does she take her for?

A product on a shelf?

With this thought in mind, Jiang Wenying turned her head and looked at Lu Fei.

It seems like Jiang Wenying is waiting for an explanation from Lu Fei.

Did he call her here to try on wedding dresses only to be humiliated?

Upon hearing Liu Mengxiang’s words, Lu Fei’s face darkened on the side.

This crazy woman always has her tricks!

It’s really difficult for ordinary people to come out unscathed in her hands.

Lu Fei stepped forward, reached out to hold Jiang Wenying’s slender waist, tightened his grip, and then looked into her eyes, explaining,

“Wenying, I forgot to introduce her to you. She’s my sister-in-law, Liu Mengxiang. Just call her sister-in-law too!”

As if not immediately accustomed to Lu Fei’s bold actions, Jiang Wenying suddenly found herself pressed closely against him, feeling a strange sense of shyness.

She instinctively struggled a bit, but she realized that the more she struggled, the tighter Lu Fei’s hand around her waist became.

Their bodies became even closer.

Lu Fei naturally sensed Jiang Wenying’s resistance.

But Lu Fei had no intention of being sympathetic or tender. They had already signed an agreement, so why was she playing this game with him?

What was this all about?

Was she teasing him?

With these thoughts in mind, Lu Fei’s expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

As Jiang Wenying twisted her body and subconsciously looked up into Lu Fei’s eyes, she suddenly noticed his displeasure.

Suddenly, something clicked in her mind.

In the agreement they had previously signed, it was clearly stated that, in necessary circumstances, she must play the role of a good wife.

Realizing this, Jiang Wenying immediately stopped struggling.

She tried to convince herself to relax her body as much as possible.

Soon, with a flushed face, Jiang Wenying awkwardly embraced the hand that Lu Fei had around her waist, not quite familiar with the gesture.

Then, Jiang Wenying looked at Liu Mengxiang and said, “I’m sorry for not recognizing you sister-in-law!”

After speaking, Jiang Wenying lowered her head slightly and fell silent.

“Hmm, so you’re Jiang Wenying, the talented lady from the Jiang family?” Liu Mengxiang said with a casual expression, crossing her arms and nodding lightly. “Well, not bad. You’re worthy of our Lu Fei!”

Jiang Wenying found Liu Mengxiang’s sarcastic comment a bit puzzling. 

But she didn’t dwell on it much, thinking it must be Liu Mengxiang’s personality.

Although Jiang Wenying felt like she was trying her best, she could still sense the stiffness in her body, making her movements appear awkward and uncoordinated.

However, seeing Jiang Wenying’s performance, Lu Fei nodded in satisfaction.

Although Jiang Wenying’s performance was not perfect, it was indeed a good start.

Regardless, taking the first step was what mattered.

At least, in front of others, she knew to take the initiative to hold Lu Fei’s hand.

Seeing such a seemingly loving expression of the two, there was a momentary stiffness in Liu Mengxiang’s smile, but it quickly returned to normal.

Lu Fei didn’t pay attention to Liu Mengxiang’s feelings and holding Jiang Wenying’s slender waist, slowly walked into the wedding dress shop.

Soon, a manager approached them to provide service.

“You go ahead and choose a wedding dress. I’ll wait here for you!” Lu Fei looked at Jiang Wenying, leaning his head slightly closer to her, and whispered in her ear.

Feeling the warm breath near her ear, Jiang Wenying felt an itch all over her body, and her earlobes turned even redder.

Jiang Wenying gently nodded her head beside Lu Fei and released her hand that was holding onto his arm. 

They followed the manager to the area where they could select the perfect wedding dress for Jiang Wenying’s upcoming wedding.

Meanwhile, sitting in the waiting area, Lu Fei suddenly sensed a soft fragrance emanating from behind him. He didn’t even need to turn around to know that it must be Liu Mengxiang, that crazy woman.

“Don’t act recklessly in public!” Lu Fei said calmly.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Liu Mengxiang knew that her little tricks had lost their effect in front of him. 

However, the feeling of excitement couldn’t help but surge in her heart as she sensed a hint of tension in Lu Fei’s tone.

She slowly leaned closer, and a strand of her hair gently brushed against Lu Fei’s neck, causing a slightly ticklish sensation.

In a soft voice, Liu Mengxiang whispered in Lu Fei’s ear, “Don’t worry, I’ve checked it out. There is no one here, and… no surveillance cameras either!”

Hearing Liu Mengxiang’s words, Lu Fei couldn’t help but feel a ripple in his heart.

This crazy woman was truly audacious!

He scratched his itchy neck and said calmly, “Sit down and stop playing around with nonsense!”

Behind him, Liu Mengxiang, who had intended to cover Lu Fei’s eyes playfully, froze as soon as she heard his slightly stern voice. 

A familiar and anticipated feeling surged within her, causing her body to involuntarily stiffen. Following Lu Fei’s instructions, she obediently sat down like a little girl.

“Why did you come here?”

Without even turning his head, Lu Fei directly asked, completely disregarding Liu Mengxiang’s status as his sister-in-law.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s question, Liu Mengxiang didn’t know what to say. She unconsciously wanted to tell the truth, but she forcefully suppressed that feeling and pursed her lips, saying, “I… I already told you, I was just walking when suddenly I felt shortness of breath. I found a place to rest, and unexpectedly, I ran into you!”

Hearing Liu Mengxiang’s words, Lu Fei couldn’t help but sneer inwardly. 

He could easily tell that it was a lie, but he couldn’t be bothered to argue.

Resting somewhere and coincidentally running into him? Was there such a convenient coincidence?

Seeing Lu Fei remain silent for a while, Liu Mengxiang took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. She then looked towards the area where wedding dresses were being selected and said,

“Lu Fei, I really didn’t lie to you. I just didn’t feel well,” Liu Mengxiang insisted, her hand still holding onto Lu Fei’s hand and gently shaking it.

Lu Fei didn’t even pull his hand away. 

Since Liu Mengxiang seemed to enjoy pushing boundaries, he would take the opportunity to educate her later. 

He didn’t believe that he couldn’t teach someone a lesson!

“Let go of my hand. It wouldn’t look good if Jiang Wenying sees us like this,” Lu Fei commanded calmly, without even extending his hand.

His voice entered Liu Mengxiang’s ears like a bewitching melody, making her involuntary desire to obey Lu Fei’s command. 

She released his hand and obediently sat down, resembling a punished child.

Soon, Jiang Wenying emerged in her wedding dress. The pristine white gown, along with the pure white veil, perfectly complemented Jiang Wenying’s elegant temperament. 

She looked like a princess from a snow-white kingdom, stepping into reality.

As soon as the stunning and enchanting Jiang Wenying appeared, she immediately caught the attention of everyone around her. 

The longing and admiration in their eyes were unleashed without reservation.

And as this princess-like beauty walked out, her first instinct was to approach Lu Fei.

This was her first time wearing a wedding dress, something she had been eagerly anticipating for a long time, and she finally had the chance today.

Jiang Wenying, unlike her usual cool demeanor, appeared shy and timid, like a girl waiting for praise, as she approached Lu Fei.

“Lu Fei, how do I look in this outfit?” 

Lu Fei raised an eyebrow upon hearing Jiang Wenying’s words. He stood up, approached her, and pretended not to have heard clearly, asking, “Wenying, what did you call me?”

Jiang Wenying never expected Lu Fei to ask her such a question in front of everyone.

Jiang Wenying suddenly felt a bit flustered, but as she thought about the agreement they had made that night and the faint anticipation in her heart, she blushed and softly called out, “Husband… How do I look in this outfit?”

Lu Fei took a step back and carefully examined her. It had to be said that Jiang Wenying’s figure was absolutely impeccable—graceful and charming. 

Moreover, her taste in selecting a wedding dress was exceptional.

She had chosen a long-sleeved, fitted waist wedding gown.

That accentuated her narrow waist and stunning curves, perfectly highlighting her figure.

“It looks great. You look especially beautiful today!” Lu Fei didn’t hesitate to shower her with praise, directly complimenting Jiang Wenying.

Upon receiving Lu Fei’s affirmation, Jiang Wenying felt a sweet sensation in her heart, as if she had just eaten a delicious dessert. A beautiful smile curved on her lips.

Just as Lu Fei finished praising Jiang Wenying, the manager of the wedding dress shop walked out, his face filled with astonishment. He said, “Sir, your taste is truly impeccable. This is one of the few exclusive edition wedding gowns in our store, designed by top craftsmen from abroad. We have only two pieces in total, one for display and the other one your wife is wearing.”

Upon hearing the manager’s introduction, Lu Fei nodded continuously.

“However, the price is a bit high, a non-negotiable 1.5 million yuan!” The manager’s expression became somewhat nervous as he looked at Lu Fei.

He didn’t know if this young man would be scared off by the high price.

But Lu Fei seemed as if he hadn’t even heard the price, his gaze fixed on Jiang Wenying as he asked, “Do you like it?”

As Jiang Wenying looked into Lu Fei’s eyes, she smiled and nodded.

Just as Lu Fei was about to take out his bank card to pay for the dress, suddenly, the voice of Liu Mengxiang rang out.

“Wait!”

Lu Fei’s hand paused, and Jiang Wenying looked at Liu Mengxiang with a puzzled expression, wondering why she had spoken up.

Lu Fei also had a look of confusion, wondering what this crazy woman was up to now?

 Was she going to cause trouble at this moment?

Under the gaze of both Lu Fei and Jiang Wenying, Liu Mengxiang reached into her bag and pulled out a black bank card, extending it toward them.

She then spoke, “You’ve already called me sister-in-law, and I didn’t prepare anything special, so consider this wedding dress as my gift to you!”

“It’s just 1.5 million yuan, a token of goodwill.”

Upon hearing Liu Mengxiang’s words, Jiang Wenying felt a slight sense of discomfort, but she didn’t know how to respond and could only keep her feelings to herself.

After purchasing the wedding dress, they were escorted out of the bridal shop by the respectful store manager.

“Let’s go. I have already arranged a hotel for the wedding. I’ll take you there to see if you’re satisfied!” Liu Mengxiang’s voice came from the side, as she spoke up.

Soon, Luo Ge pulled up in the car by the roadside.

As Lu Fei approached, he casually introduced, “This is my driver, Luo Ge!”

Jiang Wenying didn’t look down upon Luo Ge just because he was a driver. Instead, she politely nodded and then got into the car.

 Liu Mengxiang bypassed Lu Fei and sat in the backseat, the only available seat.

Lu Fei was speechless at Liu Mengxiang’s behavior, not knowing how to react.

Don’t you have your own car, why do you have to squeeze in?

Nevertheless, he said little and took a step back, sitting in the passenger seat.

What else could he do?

Sit between the two women?

On the way, the Bentley headed toward the direction of the hotel.
