Chapter 445: Chapter 445
Here is the translation of the requested text:
"Mmm! This is really beautiful! Mom, how about we take this wedding dress to Sanya?"
Li Si initially didn’t want to go so far. Even though flying there would be quick, Buding was just over two months old and still seemed fragile. What if he got sick due to water and soil differences?
Leng Mochen persuaded her for quite a while. After all, at the end of April, Beijing didn’t really have any picturesque scenery worth photographing.
At this time, Sanya was breathtakingly beautiful, with a pleasant climate. The two of them on the beach there would definitely look amazing.
You only take wedding photos once in your life, so of course, you want them as stunning as possible!
Later, Mrs. Leng and Sister Ding also persuaded her, reasoning that bringing the photography studio’s staff to fly over in the morning, shoot for a day, and return the same day—with so many people taking care of the baby—shouldn’t be a big problem!
Downstairs, Buding’s crying echoed faintly. Mrs. Leng quickly put down the diamond tiara she was holding. "I’ll go check!"
Her precious grandson was crying again?
Buding was now Mrs. Leng’s dearest treasure. Every little cry tugged at her heartstrings.
Leng Ning, enviously rubbing the diamonds on the wedding dress, couldn’t help but tease, "Sis-in-law! My brother is so extravagant! These diamonds, all nine hundred and ninety-nine of them—only he would think of something ! I swear, he’s spoiling you beyond reason!"
Though her sister-in-law’s early life had been somewhat rough, ever since she started life with her brother, it felt like she had been launched on a rocket. Her luck was unbelievable. Among all the women Leng Ning knew or heard of, none of them were more fortunate than her sister-in-law!
The wedding dress was a simple design: a white, strapless gown with a long train. When Su Meng got married, the crystal-studded wedding dress she wore had caught Li Si’s attention.
Leng Mochen immediately contacted a custom wedding dress designer to modify the design. On its original foundation, nine hundred and ninety-nine diamonds of varying sizes were sewn into the bodice, waist, and back—a total of 220 carats. The design symbolized "forever together!"
Li Si playfully tapped Leng Ning’s nose. "Little rascal! Doesn’t your sweetheart pamper you? Hmm? Hallokitty!"
Who was it that, back when Mrs. Leng wasn’t around, learned from her and talked endlessly about how thoughtful Jin Yichen was? She also adored Hello Kitty knickknacks.
He even went abroad to personally purchase piles of mugs, tableware, watches, keychains, and all kinds of other items for her.
Leng Ning’s face instantly flushed bright red. She protested indignantly, "Sis-in-law! Keep your voice down, or Mom overhears and we’re doomed!"
At the moment, she wasn’t ready for their mom to know.
After events with Lei Ming, she’d sorted out her thoughts: unless she was sure he was "the one"—the person she’d marry and never look back—she wouldn’t let their parents know about him.
Otherwise, not a single bit of information would be revealed!
Right then, Mrs. Leng pushed the door open, catching the tail end of their conversation. "What are you afraid of me hearing?"
"Nothing! Mom, you must’ve misheard!" Leng Ning desperately glanced at Li Si, silently pleading for her to cover.
Li Si smiled as she helped her keep it a secret, "Mom! Why was Buding crying? Was he hungry?"
Thinking back, it had been two hours since he’d fed. He might be hungry or maybe wet! Discover more novels at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
Mrs. Leng’s attention was immediately diverted. With a cheerful expression, she exclaimed, "No, not hungry! This cheeky little boy just can’t stand any discomfort! He wet his diaper! Once we changed it, he was all smiles. From looking at his personality, he’s going to turn out well! Luckily, he’s not like Mochen! By the way! I need to head out for a bit. When’s Mochen coming back?"
"He’s working on the new house—he’ll return later!" Li Si glanced at the time. He should be back soon, shouldn’t he?
This guy! Was he doing this on purpose? Did it really take so long to install gym equipment? Could it be that he didn’t want to see her in the wedding dress?
Once Mrs. Leng left, Li Si and Leng Ning exchanged relieved glances and let out a simultaneous sigh of relief—thank goodness she didn’t press further.
After trying on the dress and confirming that the fit was perfect, another item on the wedding preparation checklist was done. Leng Ning marked it off in her little notebook.
She muttered, "Sis-in-law! Now all that’s left is for you and my brother to take wedding photos! Have the tickets been booked yet? With the May Day Golden Week coming up, tickets must be really tight!"
Frowning, Leng Ning worried. To be honest, she’d been involved in at least half of their pre-wedding preparations.
Where could you find a little sister-in-law as dedicated as her? Secretly, she praised herself for being exceptional.
Looking at herself in the mirror, Li Si admired the diamond-studded wedding dress—it was stunning yet slightly heavy. Rubbing her neck, she lifted her head to smile and wink at Leng Ning when she heard her mention tickets, "Your brother’s secretary booked them in advance! But, Xiao Ning!! What do you think about buying a plane?"
Leng Ning’s jaw dropped in shock—her mouth wide enough to fit an egg. "Sis-in-law!? What did you just say? A plane? Haha! You’re hilarious! Do you think buying a plane is the same as buying a car? My lovely sis-in-law, you’re too funny!"
The idea of buying a plane had her laughing so hard her face hurt. After all, it’s not like planes were easily purchasable with the country’s strict airspace regulations!
Just then, there were three soft knocks at the door. Li Si’s lips curved in a mischievous smile as she hurried to open it. Leng Mochen stood at the doorway, a grin lighting up his face.
His eyes sparkling with awe, he gazed at Li Si—he knew this wedding dress would look breathtaking on her!
"You’re stunning!" His gaze was filled with admiration, focusing entirely on her exquisite silhouette. The swan-like curve of her neck, the snow-white expanse of her back—it was even more captivating under the glittering diamonds.
Li Si’s heart warmed, and she looked at him tenderly. "Thank you, hubby!"
He slightly regretted choosing this design. Her delicately exposed shoulders and collarbones were too alluring—her beauty should be his alone to cherish. Maybe he should pair it with a white shawl for the wedding day?
"What are you guys laughing about? I could hear laughter all the way downstairs!"
Leng Ning, still slightly flushed from her earlier laughter, couldn’t hold back and chimed in, "Brother! Oh gosh! My sis-in-law said she wanted to buy a plane!"
"Why?" Leng Mochen asked with a calm grin. "What’s so funny about that?"
Li Si, full of sweetness, wrapped her arm around his. Seeing their expressions, Leng Ning suppressed her laughter a little. "Did something happen that I wasn’t aware of?"
Li Si released Leng Mochen and affectionately hugged Leng Ning’s shoulder. "Your brother ordered a plane!"
"A plane?!" Leng Ning froze, momentarily stunned, before bubbling over with excitement. "Brother! You’re so awesome!" Among everyone she knew, no one had ever bought a plane!
Her face lit up with endless excitement. She chattered non-stop about how they must take it for a test flight as soon as it arrived.
Once Leng Ning left, Li Si stroked the diamond-studded wedding dress, "I really love this wedding dress!"
"Yes, I’m glad you do." Leng Mochen hugged her from behind. Their reflections in the mirror were the epitome of harmony and affection.
Li Si could clearly sense the change in his breathing. He was trying hard to suppress himself, his voice hoarse as he murmured, "Why isn’t three months over yet!"
"Almost there!" Li Si gently stroked his arm. "Good hubby! Hang in there a bit more!"
She knew he was struggling, but it couldn’t be helped.
Finally, Leng Mochen let go of her. If he held her any longer, things might spiral out of control.
"I’m going to change out of the wedding dress!" Li Si quickly retreated to the fitting room. Fortunately, the wedding dress was easy to take off and didn’t require assistance—otherwise, Leng Mochen would say she was deliberately teasing him!
After Li Si changed into a casual dress and came out, Leng Mochen casually mentioned his car had been rear-ended by Zhang Shan’s younger sister.
The two didn’t seem to care much about it.
Li Si thought it was merely a coincidence! Hearing him talk further about insurance matters and how the payout wouldn’t be significant, she didn’t dwell on it—letting it slip her mind entirely!
