My Wife is My Life!-Chapter 332

The three wedding dresses in front of them were specially tailored by Lu Lixing for Ji Qingqing. Each dress was a one-of-a-kind masterpiece thoughtfully made by top designers. Ji Qingqing fell in love with the dress in the middle at first sight. It drew her full attention.

Noticing her stare at it unblinkingly for quite a while, Aunt Pei nudged her. “If you like it, go ahead and try it on.”

Aunt Pei and Ji Qingqing were led to the first-floor guest room by the staff. After putting on the wedding dress, Ji Qingqing felt she had transformed into a whole new person. She felt unrealistic standing in front of the mirror and looking at herself in the dress, and her reflection in the mirror was like a mist, hazy and unclear.

She looked carefully and the mist gradually dispersed, and in the mirror was the most familiar face, the familiar herself.

“Aunt Pei, does it look good on me?”

Aunt Pei from the side exclaimed emotionally, “It looks good! It really fits you well. How beautiful! I’ve never seen a bride as beautiful as you.”

The staff on the side also smiled in agreement. “Miss Ji has a great figure which complements the dress. This was specially designed by the designer to be body hugging and it is laced with hand-sewn Swarovski diamonds and pearls. It’s especially suitable for Miss Ji to wear.”

Ji Qingqing smiled and pushed open the door.

The gown’s trail flowed like water, its braless style showcased her elegant and slender swan neck, and her exposed clavicle was also sexy and charming. Further down, the dress that tightened at her waist and hips accentuated her stunning curves. Both of her hands lifted the skirt and walked slowly toward Lu Lixing. A pair of butterfly bones* emerged at her back, like a pair of wings ready to take off.

Lu Lixing blankly stared at her from a distance as she walked toward him step by step, with her slender waist sashaying, the gown’s trail also swaying. He was unable to move his gaze away from her lovely figure.

After arriving in front of Lu Lixing, Ji Qingqing smiled till the corners of her mouth reached her ears. She tilted her head and coyly asked, “Does it look good?”

Lu Lixing’s eyes were filled with deep joy as he lowered his head to kiss Ji Qingqing’s forehead. Without a moment’s hesitation, he praised her, “It looks good.”

At this moment, Lu Lixing became incredibly grateful to the system for bringing Ji Qingqing to his side, allowing him the opportunity to see her wear a wedding dress for him.

“Very beautiful.”

Hearing his straightforward praise, Ji Qingqing’s smile became even brighter.

Lu Liting quietly stood on one side with an unreadable expression. Grandpa Lu who came down from upstairs looked at Ji Qingqing and nodded in amazement. He suddenly asked, “Liting, don’t you think your brother and sister-in-law look very well-matched?”

Lu Liting’s gaze also never left Ji Qingqing when he saw her come down from the stairs.

There was once a time when he had also imagined the day when Ji Qingqing would wear a wedding dress, but he never thought that the day he actually saw her in it would be because of another man.

He threw away what he could have had by giving up on such a train of thought.

Grandpa Lu’s words were like knives being stabbed into his heart, but he still had to smile and say nothing, grit his teeth, and swallow his grievances down.

He looked pale and struggled to speak. “Uh… they match well.”

After a brief pause, he said, “Grandfather, I still have something to do at the company. I’ll leave first.” He couldn’t bear staying a second longer, listening to Ji Qingqing’s laughter, and watching the two of them stand together affectionately.

Grandpa Lu sighed as he watched Lu Liting’s hasty departure.

While Ji Qingqing was at home choosing her wedding dress, news of her kidnapping spread quickly online, with pictures and detailed accounts of what happened. It quickly topped the headlines and became hotly discussed by the netizens.

The story of how Lu Lixing saved Ji Qingqing through his high-speed chase with the kidnapper, how he fought and defeated the kidnapper single-handedly, and how he took care of her, became widely circulated among them.

Netizens also falsely spread the news that the kidnapper was a fanatical supporter of Ji Qingqing and had kidnapped her to gain her attention. Many marketing accounts reposted the story, making it even more popular, but the truth of the matter couldn’t be determined yet until the police investigation was completed.

The only credible news leak came from the shopping mall’s security guard, who said that on that day, Lu Lixing did indeed save Ji Qingqing. But it was not done by him single-handedly, as the kidnapper was captured by the police. He also added that Ji Qingqing was there because she was auditioning for a TV show.

According to inside information, Shen Weiwei had already been confirmed as the female lead, but because of Ji Qingqing’s appearance, the director gave the female lead role to her on the spot.

After some digging, netizens found out that the kidnapper was not a fan of Ji Qingqing but of Shen Weiwei. The police retrieved the surveillance footage from the building to investigate the case and the footage showed that Shen Weiwei had a brief conversation with the suspect in the elevator.

These ambiguous speculations, after fermenting for a day, spread widely on the Internet and became the main subject of discussion.

“He’s a fan of Shen Weiwei? Where’s the evidence?”

“I don’t know if there’s evidence, but wasn’t there a photo of Shen Weiwei going to audition a few days ago? I think the person who leaked the information is telling the truth. My guess is Ji Qingqing stole the role from Shen Weiwei and due to Shen Weiwei’s frustration, she incited him.”

“I have a friend who saw Ji Qingqing there. I didn’t expect her to be there for an audition. It’s really unlucky for her to run into this kind of situation during an audition. I feel bad for her.”

“My husband’s friend is handling this case. I can’t say too much now, but most of the online guesses are indeed true. But the kidnapper is also mentally ill.”

“But if Ji Qingqing took Shen Weiwei’s role, doesn’t she deserve it?”

“Her stealing Shen Weiwei’s role is just hearsay. And when Ji Qingqing had an incident, didn’t she steal all of her endorsement deals as well? Why did you not mention the things she did at that time?”

However, the discussions quickly settled down after Lin Zhen and director Ren’s Weibo post.

@Ren Ming: Miss Ji is a brilliant actor with a spiritual aura that I haven’t seen from anyone else. I’m looking forward to our upcoming cooperation. I believe she won’t let me down. @Ji Qingqing

Lin Zhen was even more straightforward. Her husband was Chen Shuyi, so she didn’t even care about whether she offended others or not.

@Lin Zhen: When I received Director Ren’s invitation, my first reaction after reading the script was that Ji Qingqing was very suitable for this role. I invited her to audition at that time but something happened on her side so it was delayed. During Ji Qingqing’s audition, Shen Weiwei came for a retake and coincidentally encountered her. Director Ren proposed that the two of them perform a scene together to fairly measure who was better between the two of them. They both agreed. Afterward, he and several assistant directors felt that Ji Qingqing was more suitable for the female lead in the drama. It seems my eyesight isn’t bad at all. [smart emoji]
