"Your girlfriend is so beautiful," Xiao Lü said enviously, gazing at Yin Xiamo as she spoke to Yin Cheng. "She'll look absolutely stunning in that wedding dress."

"She's my older sister."

Yin Cheng offered a gentle smile.

Xiao Lü's face immediately flushed scarlet. Embarrassed, she turned to Yin Xiamo.

"Right! I'm sorry! But you really are so beautiful, you look just like a movie star..."

"Thank you."

Yin Xiamo's smile was soft and serene.

"Look, your wedding dress is right over there," Xiao Lü said, pointing toward the main hall with a grin. Among the many styles, one dress was set apart on a pink crystal pedestal. The pure white gown, illuminated by star-like spotlights, looked ethereal, pure, and breathtakingly lovely. "This dress is gorgeous; all the shop girls adore it, which is why we displayed it separately. But, hehe, ever since yesterday, almost every customer who has walked in has fallen in love with this gown, which makes us happy but also puts us in a tricky spot."

Yin Xiamo stared mutely at the wedding dress bathed in starlight. After a long moment, her eyes shimmering slightly, she turned back to Yin Cheng, her voice barely a whisper:

"Did you put a lot of effort into this?"

"Yes," Yin Cheng replied with an innocent smile. "Because I want my sister to wear a dress I designed myself. Sister, try it on later and let me know if anything needs adjusting. I absolutely have to make you the most beautiful bride!"

"Xiao Cheng..."

A wave of warmth and pain washed over Yin Xiamo.

"Please wait a moment, I'll go fetch the dress for the young lady to try on right away!" Xiao Lü chirped, standing up, ready to step out, when a sudden, unusual commotion erupted inside the shop!

A group of people emerged from the wedding photography hall at the back of the boutique, surrounding two figures as if they were royalty, flashes popping incessantly, interspersed with the insistent questions of reporters.

The shop assistants and customers couldn't help but turn their heads.

Yin Cheng also looked over. He froze abruptly, his gaze locked tightly onto one person within the crowd, then he turned back to Yin Xiamo beside him, a look of concern clouding his features.

Yin Xiamo looked over, puzzled—

Her body suddenly went rigid!

The color completely drained from her lips in that instant!

The romantic, rosy atmosphere of the bridal shop shattered as, amidst the throng of reporters, Luo Xi and Shen Qiang walked side by side. Luo Xi wore a black shirt and faded black jeans; he looked much thinner, showing a hint of illness. His skin was pale as faded cherry blossoms, and his eyes were abnormally dark and deep, only the slash of vibrant color on his lips suggested the heart-stopping, devastating beauty that still captivated onlookers.

Shen Qiang remained as coolly aloof as ever, though when answering the reporters' questions, she occasionally glanced back at Luo Xi, a flicker of emotion surfacing and disappearing in her gaze.

The moment Yin Xiamo saw Luo Xi, the blood in her entire body seemed to solidify. She had believed she would never see him again; that she would leave the entertainment industry, and his pride would ensure he never crossed her path again. Perhaps she might catch a glimpse of him on television occasionally, but their two worlds would never intersect again...

But...

The instant she saw him, she found herself utterly unable to restrain her own reaction; her eyes refused to move away from him... her breath grew so shallow it felt as if it had stopped entirely... In that stunned bewilderment, only her fiercely uncompromising rationality forced her, bit by bit, to drag her gaze away... until, in a daze, she registered the reporters surrounding him...

She gasped!

As if plunged into an ice cavern!

She spun her head around quickly, her back to the crowd, clutching Xiao Cheng's hand with fierce tightness! No, the reporters absolutely could not discover her presence. If it were just her, it wouldn't matter, but Xiao Cheng was right beside her... She wanted to pull Xiao Cheng away and flee, yet at this very moment, any sudden movement in the bridal shop seemed only to draw more attention from that noisy group... Bubble Summer III
