I Refused to Be a Substitute, and Shot to Fame on a Variety Show With My Mother-In-Law - Chapter 609

Chapter 609 The best time to marry you

Qin Zhuoning pushed the door open and entered.

The large cloakroom is spacious and bright, and there are a variety of clothes, shoes, hats, and jewelry in glass cabinets in layers, which makes people dizzy.

Currently there are four service staff, carefully selecting and matching the dress for Pei Jiao to wear on today’s engagement.

Pei Jiao was sitting on the sofa, leaning forward slightly, stretching out her hand, absently fiddling with the bouquet of red roses in front of her, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

“Miss Pei, what do you think of this set? The Chinese-style cheongsam with Suzhou embroidery and face pattern has a lower button, so it won’t pinch your neck, and it’s mainly about comfort.”

Pei Jiao glanced at it, then shook his head: “I don’t like the style.”

Pei Jiao took a look at a very beautiful Chinese-style cheongsam and said he didn’t like it, but the reason wasn’t the style, but the high buttoned collar, which would be cumbersome if worn for a few more minutes.

This Chinese-style cheongsam has no high collar, and its style is 90% similar to the previous one, but the reason why Pei Jiao doesn’t like it this time is because of the style.

Isn’t that obvious enough?

I just don’t want to wear it.

The service staff knew it in their hearts.

“Then I’ll go and match two sets again.” The service staff warmly poured Pei Jiao a cup of coffee.

After pouring the coffee and getting up, seeing the man coming in, the service staff was about to remind Pei Jiao, Qin Zhuoning waved his hand, and the service staff left silently.

Pei Jiao withdrew his hand, stretched his waist, a head of curly hair that had been curled in advance poured down, and two strands hung down on both sides of the forehead, lazy and beautiful.

After choosing nearly a dozen sets, she was already tired and wanted to sleep on the sofa, but her mind was repeatedly pulled by the matter of getting engaged today.

She was fidgeting, and a person sat down beside her.

She was taken aback for a moment, then sat up straight quickly, and even became more energetic: “Brother Zhuo Ning, why are you here?”

“Of course I came to pick you up.”

Qin Zhuoning was wearing a white suit with lapel collar. His broad shoulders and narrow waist fit perfectly with this suit, making him very formal.

Pei Jiao has always known that Qin Zhuoning is handsome, but today Qin Zhuoning seems to have reached a new level of handsomeness.

Qin Zhuoning didn’t mind Pei Jiao’s unscrupulous staring at him at all, and asked her, “How do I look today?”

Pei Jiao gave an affirmative answer: “Very handsome!”

Qin Zhuoning raised his eyebrows: “The evaluation is very high.”

Pei Jiao replied to him: “It’s not like you’re so handsome today, it’s just that I rarely see you in a white suit, and it’s rare to see you on our engagement day.”

“If you think I look good in a white suit, I will often wear it in the future.” Qin Zhuoning said.

Pei Jiao smiled: “Don’t wear a white suit every day just because I said it looks good. It’s meant to please me, not others.”

After speaking, she picked up the cup of coffee in front of her and took a sip.

Qin Zhuo looked at her quietly for a moment, then raised his hand to look at his watch, and reminded her in a gentle voice: “It’s half past nine, Jiaojiao.”

Pei Jiao put down the coffee: “Is the person from the hotel calling?”

Today is the day when the two got engaged, and the entire Shengshi Hotel was very lively. The principals of the Pei family and the Qin family have already gathered guests at the hotel.

Qin Zhuoning had already arrived at the hotel, and came here after learning that Pei Jiao was still choosing a dress. He replied to Pei Jiao: “The guests are halfway there, but we should go there.”

“Half, so many people have come…” Pei Jiao was still a little absent-minded, she stood up: “Then I will change into the dress as soon as possible and go with you.”

Qin Zhuoning also stood up: “Do you want me to help you as a reference?”

“Okay.” Pei Jiao readily agreed: “I need your help very much at this time to choose patients with severe difficulties.”

“I remember that you didn’t have difficulty choosing before…” After a short pause, Qin Zhuoning quickly changed the subject of the conversation: “Do you want to wear a long skirt or a short skirt today? I will give you a suggestion based on the length.”

Pei Jiao knew that Qin Zhuoning ended the topic of difficulty in choosing immediately, and it was his sense of propriety.

She didn’t want to embarrass Qin Zhuoning, so what’s the point of delaying the engagement?

She said to Qin Zhuoning: “Long skirts! I prefer long skirts.”

Qin Zhuoning nodded: “Okay, let me take a look for you.”

Pei Jiao thinks that Qin Zhuoning’s aesthetics is probably the same as most men’s. The long skirt is mainly white and beautiful, which looks the most fairy-like.

But she didn’t expect that Qin Zhuoning actually chose a light lake green feather long skirt for her, with a small V-neck back, a tube top design, and the skirt reached the floor, which made Pei Jiao’s eyes shine.

At first, when the service staff helped Pei Jiao to match, they didn’t take out this feather skirt considering that Pei Jiao might not want to choose a slightly brighter and exaggerated style.

Now after seeing the astonishment in Pei Jiao’s eyes, the service staff regretted that they should not have thought so much.

Qin Zhuoning also had a panoramic view of Pei Jiao’s astonishment, with a smile on his lips: “It seems that you like it very much.”

“At least I like it at first glance.” Pei Jiao stepped forward: “I’ll try it first.”

Qin Zhuoning signaled to the service staff: “Help her put it on.”

With a sound of ‘shua’, the champagne-colored curtain was drawn, separating Pei Jiao and the two service staff who helped her change her dress.

While waiting, Qin Zhuoning received a call from the hotel. After answering, the person on the phone said, “Mr. Qin, that person has come to the hotel.”

Qin Zhuoning’s eyes sank: “No matter what, we must stop him.”

The person on the phone said: “We haven’t made a move yet, and Mr. Pei’s people have already stopped him.”

Qin Zhuoning’s voice was calm and unhurried: “If he dares to force his way, don’t worry.”

The person on the phone responded: “Understood.”

The phone was hung up, and there was the sound of curtains being drawn behind him. Qin Zhuoning turned around when he heard the sound, and his eyes fell on Pei Jiao who had changed into a feather skirt.

“Looking at your expression, I guess this feather skirt should look good on me?” Pei Jiao walked over holding the skirt.

Qin Zhuoning was a little distracted, with thousands of words in his heart, and finally gathered into two words: “It’s beautiful.”

Pei Jiao looked in the mirror: “The effect is better than I expected, and it must be because of your good vision.”

Qin Zhuo walked slowly behind Pei Jiao, looked at her who was so bright in the mirror, and whispered, “Jiaojiao, you have really grown up.”

Pei Jiaoyang smiled: “Please, I’m almost twenty-three years old, okay?”

After the words fell, Qin Zhuoning couldn’t help holding her hand: “To be able to have a grand engagement with you in your best years, death is worth it.”

Pei Jiao’s face changed when he heard the word ‘death’: “Brother Zhuo Ning, you must avoid prophecy when you speak. On such an auspicious day, don’t mention these unlucky words.”

After finishing speaking, she naturally took her hand out of Qin Zhuoning’s hand: “Let’s go, go to the hotel to hold our engagement.”

Qin Zhuoning stared at Pei Jiao’s back, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly raised his voice and asked her: “If today is not a fake engagement, but our real engagement, Jiaojiao, would you still go?”

Pei Jiao paused.

She turned sideways, slowly turned her head to look at Qin Zhuoning, and smiled slightly: “Go.”

Qin Zhuoning had hope in his eyes: “Are you also…”

Pei Jiao said: “Didn’t the fake engagement be agreed at the beginning? So there won’t be such an if.”
