“Ugh, Sangsang, you’re really considerate.” Thinking about what Ji Chuan had said last night, Nian Xi was getting a little disappointed again. Luosang didn’t know Ji Chuan better than he knew her, but she had been putting herself in his position while he didn’t do the same. Nian Xi didn’t like that about Ji Chuan and felt strange about it. In her eyes, Ji Chuan should do what Luosang did.

“Alright, let’s go. Didn’t you make an appointment with the wedding dress store? Don’t be late.” Luosang got into the car and said, “Ji Chuan will be there too, won’t he?”

“He needs to visit the director of the Xia City Military Region, so he’ll come later,” said Nian Xi.

“Is it for his transfer?” asked Luosang.

Nian Xi nodded. “We hope that he can get a transfer back here early this year. Tonight, some people from the military region will go to my home for dinner. Ji Chuan and I both need to be there.”

Luosang nodded and said, “Your father likes Ji Chuan.”

“Yeah, he was hoping that my brother could take over his duties, but my brother had an accident and returned from the army. So now he has no other choice but to pin his hopes on Ji Chuan,” said Nian Xi. “My dad wanted Ji Chuan to make some solid contributions out there, so he can get promoted in the future. Thankfully, Ji Chuan did pretty well over the past few years.”

Time flew as they chatted in the car. Soon after, they arrived at the wedding dress store. It was the most luxurious wedding dress store in Xia City. They didn’t provide rental service, so the customers could only purchase ready-to-wear pieces or custom wedding dresses. Every single suit or wedding dress in that store was a high-end foreign brand.

Luosang walked in and saw the delicate wedding dresses placed in the display window on both sides of the store. Some of them were cute, and some were sexy… Every woman wanted to be like a star at her own wedding, and so did she. Sometimes, she couldn’t help imagining her own wedding.

Nian Xi smiled and said, “Sangsang, would do like to try one on? You’ve accepted my brother’s proposal, anyway. I’ll take a photo and send it to him.”

“No, I’m not the one who’s getting married. I’m a few years younger than you, so I have lots of patience,” Luosang said jokingly.

“Are you laughing at me because I’m older than you?” Nian Xi crossed her arms and snorted.

“So you know?” said Luosang.

Nian Xi clenched her teeth.

Luosang chuckled, glanced at all the wedding dresses in the display windows, and said, “Ah, I think this one is beautiful. The embroidery is exquisite. Are those diamonds or pearls?”

“Those are diamonds. Miss, you really have good eyes.” The store manager smiled fawningly, saying, “This is the most expensive wedding dress in our store. It is worth 68,000,000 yuan.”

Luosang gasped in shock. As she prepared to say the words “so expensive,” Nian Xi exclaimed, “So cheap!”

…

Is 68,000,000 cheap? You’re really his little sister, Luosang thought. Luosang felt as if she had been brainwashed lately, because she no longer had a clear sense of money.

The smile on the shop manager’s face froze for a second, then grew even larger. “It’s indeed cheap for someone like Miss Nian,” she said. “Miss Nian, would you like to try it on? I believe you’ll look stunning in it, as you have the perfect body shape.”

Nian Xi shook her head and said, “I’ll just look for some other ones.”

“Don’t you like it?” asked Luosang. “Didn’t you say that it’s cheap?”

“It is cheap. It’s not even as expensive as one of my mother’s rings. However, it’s not cheap for the Feng family. They are military people, not as wealthy as business people like us. Take my dad as an example. His salary and my mom’s income are like hell and heaven. Also, we have to keep things low-key, as we’re going to have a military wedding. Many army officers will come to our wedding, so if we dress luxuriously, people might say bad things about the Feng family.”

Luosang now understood. She had even forgotten that they were going to have a military wedding.
