"Staying for two days?" Jiang Feng was taken aback upon hearing this, as he originally planned to come and go quickly, but now he needed to stay overnight?
"Yeah, my cousin's wedding is the day after tomorrow. We can't just come back early..." Bai Zhiqing's expression became increasingly awkward, her cheeks flushed.
"I see." Jiang Feng felt a little awkward.
"What, you don't want to go and stay with me?" Seeing Jiang Feng's hesitancy, Bai Zhiqing's face slightly stiffened, and she asked.
"Not at all." Jiang Feng shook his head, "Alright, I'll go tell Qingcheng."
"Mhm, you just need to take leave, no need to go into details. This is our little secret, it's not good for others to know," Bai Zhiqing said considerately.
In her heart, Bai Zhiqing naturally didn't want Jiang Feng to just pretend to be her boyfriend. If Jiang Feng was willing, she would even consider truly being with him!
But she also knew that she was far from reaching that point with Jiang Feng, and she wasn't sure of Jiang Feng's exact thoughts either, so it was better not to be too hasty.
Everything should progress slowly, and there will come a time when things fall into place naturally.
Jiang Feng nodded and walked straight out of the small room to Nangong Qingcheng's office.
...
When Nangong Qingcheng saw Jiang Feng appearing outside her office, she didn't expect him to come looking for her again in the afternoon!
And at this moment, her mind was still filled with the dream she had earlier, so seeing Jiang Feng in person, she instinctively felt a bit flustered and embarrassed.
"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Feng asked curiously as he looked at Nangong Qingcheng, wondering why she was blushing upon seeing him. Her complexion was even better than in the morning!
"Nothing, do you need something from me?" Nangong Qingcheng pretended to be calm and asked.
"I wanted to let you know that I'll be out for the next two days doing something, and I might not be able to come home. Don't worry about me," Jiang Feng kindly lied and said to Nangong Qingcheng.
Nangong Qingcheng was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
Since she and Jiang Feng got engaged, except for the month when Jiang Feng was kidnapped, they had never been apart. This was the first time Jiang Feng was going to be away overnight.
However, she had already promised in the morning to let Jiang Feng keep secrets and do whatever he wanted, so she couldn't ask much now, and softly said, "Take care, and send me a message on WeChat if anything happens."
At that moment, Jiang Feng felt a slight pang of guilt in his heart, feeling sorry for betraying Nangong Qingcheng's trust!
"Don't worry, I'll be back on time."
Leaving the office, Jiang Feng called Chu Feifei and Liu Shiyuan, telling them he wouldn't be home for the next two days.
Liu Shiyuan didn't mind, but Chu Feifei was quite puzzled about where Jiang Feng was going. However, after asking a few questions without getting an answer, she relented.
"Uncle, I'll be waiting for you to come back, don't you dare flirt with wild women outside, or else~~ hmph hmph!" Chu Feifei deliberately huffed cutely, jokingly but also subtly expressing her feelings.
Jiang Feng shook his head with a wry smile, feeling rather helpless.
...
Returning to the security office, Jiang Feng sat in Bai Zhiqing's little Audi, letting her drive him to a large shopping mall.
For Bai Zhiqing, as someone who had a nominal yet non-existent marriage before, she had worn a wedding dress, but never a bridesmaid's dress.
So, coming to the bridesmaid dress section now felt very novel to her, and she began selecting seriously.
The assortment of bridesmaid dresses here could easily dazzle one's eyes.
They were all the latest trendy designs, some matched with wedding dresses as white gown sets, some were Xiang-style dresses, some were of distinctive fashion, and there were also qipaos.
But without exception, all the styles were quite revealing.
It's no surprise, as bridesmaids are essentially one of the most charming sights at a wedding, sometimes even outshining the bride herself!
Because of this, Jiangdong Province has a notorious bad custom, the harassment of bridesmaids!
Simply put, on the wedding day, some male guests attending the wedding banquet, including relatives and friends from both sides, would blatantly gawk and grope the bridesmaids!
In severe cases, the bridesmaids would be dragged into a room, and subjected to shameless exploitation.
Given Bai Zhiqing's captivating allure, if she wore such revealing bridesmaid dresses, it was guaranteed she would become a victim at the wedding.
That's precisely why Jiang Feng insisted on accompanying her—he couldn't bear to see Bai Zhiqing being taken advantage of by others!
"Xiao Feng, what kind of bridesmaid dress do you think would look good on me?"
The further Bai Zhiqing went, the more indecent she found some of the bridesmaid dresses; some were even in the erotic category!
These were specially prepared for certain unconventional weddings to satisfy the couple's peculiar tastes, so naturally, Bai Zhiqing couldn't accept them. Her face reddened as she sought Jiang Feng's opinion.
"Given your figure, Sister Bai, a qipao would suffice." Jiang Feng said calmly.
Among all these styles, only the qipao covered relatively more and was a proper piece of clothing.
"Qipao?" Bai Zhiqing was taken aback. In her entire life, she had worn many clothes but never a qipao!
"You like seeing me in a qipao? Then pick one for me." Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Bai Zhiqing smiled and said to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng slightly frowned, why did her words sound so ambiguous?
Feeling a bit helpless, Jiang Feng picked a qipao for her.
"This one... will I look good in it?" Bai Zhiqing asked expectantly as she reached out to take it.
"Try it on and you'll know," Jiang Feng said.
"Okay."
Actually, Bai Zhiqing's words weren't just idle talk.
As long as Jiang Feng liked it, she would wear whatever he wanted her to!
A woman dresses to please her beloved, after all, she was dressing up for Jiang Feng.
"Sir, you have great taste."
At this time, a salesgirl nearby came over with a smile, "Your girlfriend is so beautiful, with her looks and demeanor, a qipao is the perfect choice! We who sell qipaos know that if a woman's figure isn't good, she won't bring out the charm of a qipao. But your girlfriend's figure is so perfect, she looks like a natural clothes hanger!"
