Rebirth: Once Again With You

Chapter 93 Midnight Blue Dress

Meng Renshu brought the twins to a renowned brand designer boutique. It is located in the city center and is one of the brands used by women in high-class society. What made the brand famous was the simple yet intricate design which created a graceful image for whoever was wearing it. Every woman liked to look classy in every situation, so this brand had a lot of excellent reviews.

When the three of them arrived, one salesperson came up to them with a bright smile on her face.

"Welcome. What kind of dress are you looking for today?"

"I have made an order before this. Here is the slip of proof." Meng Renshu said while showing a piece of paper to the salesperson, which she politely accepted.

"Right. We have prepared the dress for you. Please go this way."

Meng Renshu turned to look at Li Caiyi, who seemed disinterested and only stood in silence. Unlike Li Chunhua, who had run around and stared at the dress on display with sparkly eyes, there was no trace of excitement or joy in Li Caiyi's eyes.

He sighed inwardly, thinking that he must have upset her again. However, her mood would surely improve after she saw the dress he had prepared for her. He had made sure the dress fit accordingly to her taste.

The expectant Meng Renshu walked over to Li Caiyi with a gentle expression. "Xiaoyi, the salesperson is fetching your dress right now. Do you want to try it for a bit to see if it fits you or not?"

Li Caiyi cast a sideways look at him. "Even if I refuse, you will still make me do it, won't you? What's the point of asking?"

By this point, Meng Renshu had gotten used to her sharp look and speech, so instead of feeling hurt like before, he found it refreshing instead.

"That's right, so you should know better that resistance is futile, right? The fitting room is over there." He pointed at the room in the back.

"Be careful, your true color is showing. You are really hateful, do you know that?" Li Caiyi said, without bothering to cover the poison in her tone.

Meng Renshu smiled in amusement. "I'm just a gentleman taking care of my feisty little partner here."

Li Caiyi did not like how Meng Renshu was getting more and more comfortable with her. She truly did not understand what she did wrong. Didn't she have done her best to avoid him, even hurting his feelings on purpose? So why was he so persistent?

"Brother Renshu! Look at the dress over there! It's so beautiful!" Li Chunhua came over and tugged at Meng Renshu's arm merrily.

Meng Renshu looked down at her with a fond smile. "Alright. Xiaohua, you can pick a dress you want. Brother will buy it for you."

"Really? I'm so happy!"

Li Caiyi looked at her sister's cute, beaming face. That should be the correct response if a girl were told to choose a dress by a guy. However, Li Caiyi did not plan to make the right answer here.

Li Caiyi walked toward the fitting room without paying any attention to those two. She wanted to get this over quickly.

The salesperson who saw her coming gave a polite smile. "Are you the one who will try the dress? Please come this way."

Li Caiyi nodded and followed her. They soon arrived in a cozy room with a couch inside, which looked like a VIP room. The salesperson gestured to a mannequin with a midnight blue gown on it, and Li Caiyi forgot to breathe for a moment when she saw the dress.

It was a long sleeveless gown with a high collar that properly covered the chest and back area. It had glitters sprinkled all over the dress to create a pattern. The dress looked like the night sky adorned with thousand stars on it for a moment.

The design was very simple, but those star patterns could not possibly be easy to make. Not to mention, the fabric was smooth and cool, very comfortable to the skin.

Li Caiyi touched it in a trance. She did not want to admit it, but she had to give it to Meng Renshu for his sophisticated talent in choosing a suitable outfit for the occasion. This skill must have come naturally to him after seeing so many good-quality clothes throughout his life.

The gown was right up in her alley. Li Caiyi liked everything about it. She especially liked how the gown looked simple and modest yet classy and elegant at the same time.

"Do you like it?"

Li Caiyi was snapped out of her reverie when she heard Meng Renshu's voice. She turned back and saw a satisfied smirk adorning that pretty face of his. She found that smirk ingratiating.

"Well, of course, it's good because a professional made it." Li Caiyi harrumphed.

"Is that so? I'm glad you like it." He smiled even wider.

Meng Renshu's reaction unsettled her, so she did not prolong their conversation and told the salesperson to help her wear the gown. She wanted to look as ungrateful as she could, so he would feel turned off by her attitude.

Li Caiyi tried on the gown in a fitting room with the help of the kind salesperson. To her surprise, the measurement fit perfectly on her. Did Meng Renshu use Li Chunhua's measurement as a reference? Or did Su Suyin tell him about it?

Whichever it was, Li Caiyi had fallen in love with this gown. She looked like a girl who wore the night sky in her skirt as she twirled around. The glitters looked like a sprinkle of stardust when she did that. It was mesmerizing to see.

'Meng Renshu sure is playing dirty. He knew no woman can resist the temptation of a pretty dress.' Li Caiyi thought to herself resentfully.

p Although it was a bit tight on the chest area, thankfully, it was not on the level she could not handle.

The salesperson also gasped in awe when she saw how the gown hugged her figure perfectly. It accentuated her slim waist, slender neck, and protruding chest so much. If this customer did not come in wearing a school uniform, she would mistake Li Caiyi as a legitimate adult.

"Miss, this gown looks like it was tailored just for you! It suits you so well!"

"T-thank you," Li Caiyi replied awkwardly.

"How about you take off your glasses and untie your hair? I bet you will look more beautiful!"

"No, it's okay. I'm just making sure the measurement is correct."

"Really? But…" the salesperson glanced toward the door hesitantly, "I think your boyfriend is still waiting for you outside. I bet he is looking forward to seeing you come out looking pretty."

Li Caiyi's mouth twitched slightly. "He is not my boyfriend. We are not even that close, so don't mind him. Can you please help me unzip the gown now?"

The salesperson had dealt with many customers throughout her career, so she immediately perceived the change of mood in the girl's tone. She dared not to stall more time and quickly helped her out of the gown.

Even so, a big question popped out in her mind.

What kind of man prepared an expensive, specially tailored gown if not for his beloved one? Moreover, the guy who came with her kept stealing a glance at her all the time, like he was afraid she would disappear if he looked away, even for a moment.

If that was not a sign of affection, then what was that?
