Chapter 393: Chapter 393
When Ye Ling asked, Ye Zhenfen just laughed, and with a meaningful glance, looked back at Ye Ling. That look sent a shiver down Ye Ling’s spine, giving her a bad premonition. She felt she shouldn’t have asked that question, as if this person had been waiting for her to ask it.
Before she could think more, a voice came from the front with laughter, "You girl, you’ll understand when you get married. These men, their eyes are sharp. Just a glance, a touch, and they can tell your measurements. If they can’t even do that, how can they call themselves men?"
Ye Ling’s mind went blank, her face felt like it was about to explode, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Her steps faltered, but luckily they were already upstairs, otherwise, Ye Ling would have surely fallen on the stairs. But before she could think of an explanation, standing at the doorway, Ye Ling saw a white wedding dress hanging on a hanger. It was sleeveless with a sharp neckline, appearing quite revealing for the current era, when everyone dressed conservatively. Yet such a pure white and purposely designed wedding dress would certainly draw attention when worn. It was not something one would wear on a regular day.
Ye Ling now finally understood why Liu Nan dreamed of wearing a wedding dress at the wedding. Even though she had lived two lifetimes, she was still captivated by the wedding dress in front of her.
"Beautiful, right?" Ye Zhenfen saw Ye Ling’s expression and knew she liked it. She pulled Ye Ling into the room, "I knew you’d like it. Come on, try it on, see if it fits. If not, we’ll have it altered."
Ye Ling nodded, a little shy, "I think it looks just right, no need to try it on, right?"
"Go on." Ye Zhenfen could see through her pretense.
Laughing, she left Ye Ling in the room, standing outside the door smiling. She hadn’t noticed before, but upon seeing how this child displayed everything on her face, she liked it. It was much better than guessing what those other girls were thinking. It was easier and more likable to see things at a glance.
Shen Bin came upstairs and saw his mother smiling, a warm feeling flashed through his heart. Even though he was estranged from his biological mother, the innate blood bond made it impossible for him to consider her an outsider. But, being older and having such a personality, he didn’t know how to express closeness with his mother or how to be close.
Seeing his mother this happy now, Shen Bin’s heart was at ease. As long as he was well, his mother would be happy.
"Where’s Ye Ling?" Shen Bin walked up, still with a cold tone, but one could sense his lightness.
Seeing her son, Ye Zhenfen was even more delighted, "I let Ye Ling try on the wedding dress."
Shen Bin frowned, "That dress isn’t suitable." The source of this content ɪs novel·fire.net
It revealed too much; from the top, it looked as exposed as a halter top, even more so to Shen Bin.
"You haven’t even seen it yet, how do you know it doesn’t fit?" Ye Zhenfen disagreed, "Nowadays, what girl doesn’t want to wear a wedding dress for her wedding? You don’t understand as much as I do."
Upon hearing the dream of a girl, Shen Bin no longer insisted.
After a moment, the door opened, and Ye Ling stood at the door in the wedding dress. Since she had cut her hair short after starting college, it added a student feel to the wedding dress, with a touch of girlish delicacy. She stood timidly, like an elf that accidentally wandered into the human world.
Because the wedding dress revealed so much, Ye Ling’s undergarments showed, so she directly took them off and put on the wedding dress. Standing in front of Shen Bin, she dared not move, fearing any movement might cause exposure.
Ye Zhenfen gasped in admiration, then walked over and held Ye Ling’s hand, "It’s truly stunning, and it fits perfectly. This is the one."
Even Shen Bin was briefly dazzled, but his gaze fell and landed on Ye Ling’s chest, his eyes darkened, and his brows furrowed tightly, "For the wedding, wear a suit."
It was a non-negotiable decision.
Ye Ling and Ye Zhenfen were thrilled, but Shen Bin’s words dampened their spirits. Ye Ling was a bit unhappy, but before she could protest, Ye Zhenfen interjected, "Why wear a suit? I’ll make the decision here, she’ll wear the wedding dress."
Pulling Ye Ling into the room, "Come on, let’s go inside."
Ye Ling, too, was a bit peeved, so obediently went into the room, ignoring Shen Bin. The door closed, leaving Shen Bin outside. Looking at the closed door, he rubbed his forehead, feeling as if his wife and mother-in-law were teaming up against him. It wasn’t bad, but thinking about that wedding dress, easily revealing every curve, that was what displeased him.
So no matter what, that wedding dress absolutely shouldn’t be worn.
Inside, Ye Zhenfen was still urging Ye Ling, "Don’t listen to him, you can’t let him make decisions before you’re even married. To make a life together, the woman must be in charge. Men are too extravagant. Let them work hard, but otherwise, with their spendthrift ways, how can a month’s salary sustain us?"
Hearing Ye Zhenfen, Ye Ling felt relieved and liked being close to her, "Then I’ll listen to you, wear the wedding dress. I have no decisive ideas myself, so in the future, if there’s anything I do wrong, I’ll need your guidance."
These were the words Ye Zhenhua had waited half a lifetime to hear, now about to close her eyes, she finally heard them, filled with emotion, "Good child, I’m content knowing you think this way. You young people should live the life you want, don’t worry about what the elders think. My illness is unpredictable, and I don’t know when I’ll close my eyes for good. Seeing Shen Bin settled in a family gives me peace."
Ye Ling could understand Mrs. Shen’s feelings, just like with her grandmother.
"When Shen Bin was kidnapped, Uncle Li said we should have another child, but I was adamant about not doing so. I was determined to find Shen Bin, thinking if we had another, he’d never be found. But after waiting and waiting, even when I was about to give up, suddenly destiny brought Shen Bin back to us." Ye Zhenfen wiped her tears, smiling through them, "So now I’m content, letting go of everything, if I live longer, perhaps I’ll have a few years to help you with your kids."
"Auntie..." Ye Ling held her hand tightly, her heart clenched.
Ye Zhenfen laughed, "Alright, alright, I’m fine, swap out of the wedding dress, I’ll go talk to that boy." (To be continued. If you enjoy this story, you’re welcome to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
