Everyone else turned their heads when they heard his words, giving him looks: Why don’t you just buy it for her as a gift?
The reality is, too many people don’t understand how to play matchmaker. Cao Yong had already resigned to it.
"I have a friend who owns a store. I saw a few light sweaters there last time, perfect for early spring. They’re last year’s stock, on clearance with a discount, not expensive. I had him package some for you to try," said Cao Yong.
A bunch of people on-site learned that to pursue a girl, one must be thoughtful and gentlemanly like this.
Yu Xuexian thought back to his own confession, realizing he never talked in such a roundabout way. He understood Zhu Huicang’s words but couldn’t fathom what was going on with these two.
Probably only Cao Yong himself knew the reason, given that he’s someone who studies the human brain.
While chatting, the fitting room door opened. Kang Mingzhu walked out in a selected wedding dress, she picked a traditional Chinese gown, a bright red robe embroidered with golden phoenixes.
The younger peers all exclaimed: Senior Kang, you’re so beautiful.
"How is it?" Kang Mingzhu first asked for her boyfriend’s opinion, then turned back and suddenly realized there were so many people around her. She was startled and gasped.
"Very beautiful," Tao Zhijie said, reassuring her not to be startled; they were all familiar faces.
"Yes, yes, yes, very beautiful," Ren Chongda gave a thumbs-up.
It’s said that a woman looks her best in a wedding dress; it’s the happiest and most fulfilling day of her life.
Compared to this crowd of flattery, Kang Mingzhu asked Cao Yong, "What do you think?"
"Feels a bit average," Cao Yong commented seriously.
Average. Kang Mingzhu’s face fell; this was the result of a day’s selection.
Instantly, Zhu Huicang’s criticism was echoed by the others, who said to Kang Mingzhu, "What’s important is if Yu Xuexian thinks it looks good, other opinions don’t matter."
"What are you all talking about?" Kang Mingzhu didn’t wait for Cao Yong to speak up for her and directly refuted them, "I’m not wearing the wedding dress just for him to see. If it were only for him, why wear it and invite so many people to the wedding banquet?"
Cao Yong: Quietly waiting for this group who tells lies to overturn their statements.
Xie Wanying couldn’t help but let out a light chuckle.
Hearing her laugh, Cao Yong turned back and pulled her to sit down for a chat.
"Which one do you think is good?" The soon-to-be bride and groom brought over a magazine to seek advice from a fashion expert.
Cao Yong helped them with their selection.
Xie Wanying and Senior Sister walked around exploring fabrics according to plan in the bridal shop.
Through the large windows, they saw another silver sedan pull up at the entrance, seemingly more guests arriving.
He Xiangyu glanced over casually and saw a man and woman sitting in the car. The man seemed to be nearing forty. The woman looked young, in her early twenties, giving the impression of a father-daughter pair.
What was strange to her was that her junior, Xie Wanying, stood still.
"Do you know them, Yingying?"
When Senior Sister asked, Xie Wanying didn’t know how to respond.
Sitting in the car, Zhang Wei didn’t expect to encounter her here, and quickly shrank back inside the car.
The man sitting with Zhang Wei was not Zhang’s father. Xie Wanying recalled what her tablemate used to say.
To find a partner, look for someone in their forties.
Why? Because only men of this age have their careers, money, and are not constrained by family, they can help her deal with her wealthy parents.
"Why aren’t you getting out of the car?"
"I don’t like this store," Zhang Wei said, urging the other party to drive quickly to avoid making eye contact with her tablemate inside the window.
