Bai Xi was speechless and reached out to gently pat her arm. "Alright, stop acting. You're making it so awkward."
Tong Yao then ended her exaggerated performance. "Really? I thought I did a pretty good job."
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow and said faintly, "Not at all."
Seeing this, Tong Yao could only stop fooling around. "Okay, okay, I won't act anymore. Xi'er, pick one quickly and try it on. Such beautiful clothes, when worn by someone as gorgeous and radiant as you, they'll surely double your beauty!"
Hua Man also stepped forward and smiled. "Yes, Miss Bai. Whichever piece you like, I can try it on for you first. Or, we can try them on one by one in order. All three of these belong to Miss Bai, so the sizes are guaranteed to be a perfect fit."
Bai Xi immediately waved her hand. "Master Hua Man is too kind."
Hua Man smiled. "No need to be so formal. The City Lord... no, Doctor Han saved my life. He is like a second parent to me. You are his wife, and I simply want to contribute my effort to repay this kindness. Moreover, wedding attire is not like ordinary clothes; it's not easy to wear. I designed all three of these dresses, so I know better how to adjust them."
Tong Yao understood after hearing this. It turned out Han Mo had saved Master Hua Man's life with his medical skills, which was why Master Hua Man had made these three gowns for Xi'er.
She had to admit, doctors were truly a noble and great profession.
Seeing Hua Man's insistence, Bai Xi could say no more and let Hua Man help her with the adjustments.
"Wow."
"Wow!"
"Wooooow!!"
With every dress Bai Xi tried on, Tong Yao let out an exclamation, which grew louder each time.
"Xi'er, these three dresses are truly stunning, each one a masterpiece. Especially the last one, it's so beautiful it makes me want to cry. Look, even Doctor Han is mesmerized! If you ask me, you should wear this one on your wedding day. It's simply too beautiful, too beautiful!"
Bai Xi looked at Han Mo. At that moment, Han Mo indeed had a moment of stunned silence on his face, something Bai Xi had never seen before.
Han Mo's lips curved into a gentle smile. "I knew you would be beautiful, but I never imagined you'd be this stunning."
Over three hundred years ago, she had also worn a wedding dress, but it was to marry Han Luo.
Back then, he had gone to fight in another place to avoid her.
But on that very night, he had drunk too much.
While intoxicated, his mind was filled with her image, her in a red wedding dress.
From before his eyes, she gradually disappeared into the horizon.
Everything made him run wildly in the barracks that night, as if as long as he kept running, he could reach her and snatch her back. When he woke up, he felt both ridiculous and pathetic. All he could do was offer his blessings.
But just a few days later, he received news that the Bai family had been annihilated and she had been imprisoned...
He had never thought she would wear a wedding dress for him, but unfortunately... the wish for a lifelong companionship could not be fulfilled in the end.
Tong Yao and Hua Man watched the two, their eyes filled with blessings.
Love at its most beautiful.
By the time Bai Xi returned to the Bai family residence, it was already evening.
A bright moon hung in the sky, with scattered starlight surrounding it, radiating a sense of peace and tranquility.
In the car, Bai Xi and Han Mo's hands were clasped tightly. Tong Yao watched and shook her head. "Enough, you two! I'm still here! Don't you consider my feelings?"
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow faintly and said, "Does Yao Yao know the principle of 'not looking at what is improper'? Moreover... have we done anything we shouldn't have?"
Tong Yao glanced at their intertwined fingers. "Oh, so you mean if I wasn't here, you might have taken more 'special' actions? Let me remind you, we're in a car, Xi'er... Doctor Han is corrupting you."
Today, she felt she had truly gotten to know Han Mo anew.
Not only was he not as simple and boring as she had imagined, but he was also very romantic and witty. Even more so... he was indeed a brilliant doctor, but was he really just an ordinary doctor?
Although she had her doubts, she was sensible enough not to ask.
Xi'er was part of the dark department. She would definitely know everything about the person she intended to marry. If Xi'er didn't know, then she, Tong Yao, would have no way of finding out.
One should know one's own place; she had this much self-awareness.
Of course... the most important thing was that she saw immense respect and deep love for her sister in Han Mo.
Bai Xi raised an eyebrow, turned faintly to look at Han Mo, and said, "Yes, you're right. Doctor Han, you've corrupted me."
Han Mo smiled. "Yes, it's all my fault."
Tong Yao: "..."
She felt like she was shining brighter than the laser lights on her brother's car!
She shouldn't be in the car, but under it!
The car moved forward slowly, and just as it was about to reach the Bai family villa, it stopped.
Tong Yao was stunned. "Why aren't we moving?"
The driver pointed ahead. "There are many cars parked ahead..."
Moreover, these were all extremely luxurious cars. Even though he was the Tong family driver and driving Tong Yao's Porsche, the cars in front of him were all limited editions.
If he scraped even one, his entire life's salary wouldn't be enough to compensate. No, likely not enough even over several lifetimes.
Therefore, he really didn't have the courage to drive any further.
Bai Xi had already noticed the situation before the car had even approached the villa, but she hadn't said anything.
Under normal circumstances, with it being so late at night, there shouldn't be anyone at the Bai family's entrance. Why were there suddenly so many people and cars? Furthermore, she had her own people guarding the Bai family villa. If anything unusual happened, they should have informed her promptly, yet there had been no notification.
Could it be that something major had happened, causing her elite guards to be incapacitated before they could report? If that were the case, then her mother and brother inside the villa...
Thinking of this, Bai Xi's eyes grew colder, her expression so calm that not a trace of emotion showed.
Han Mo gently squeezed Bai Xi's hand. "Xi'er, there's no need to worry too much. These are all my people."
Bai Xi blinked in surprise and looked up at Han Mo, her gaze slightly dazed.
Han Mo smiled.
As he smiled, someone stepped forward and opened the car door.
The person who approached was a middle-aged man in his early forties, dressed in a Zhongshan suit. He looked sharp and capable, with distinct facial features, yet he tried his best to maintain a smile, appearing somewhat honest and endearing. "King... no, Master, Miss Bai, welcome back."
Han Mo nodded. "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wang."
Upon hearing this, the man was taken aback, as if he had been shocked. He froze for a moment before saying, "Doctor Han is too kind, too kind. This is all my duty, my duty."
Han Mo smiled. "Did you bring everything?"
Uncle Wang replied earnestly, "Everything has been prepared according to the Master's instructions."
On the day of King's wedding, how could they be negligent!
