Chapter 1340 - 1339: Long Dress?

The night was as dark as ink, deep and silent, with stars twinkling across the sky, giving a sense of peace and tranquility.

At this moment, pedestrians on the street had gradually become sparse, the English architectural style and dim streetlights turned this historical city even more tranquil and profound.

Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu walked side by side on the street, heading slowly towards the cinema, their steps steady, as they chatted about various events from five years ago, the atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious.

Now, Leng Qingqiu and Lu Yu seemed like a young engaged couple, unlike before when they would meet and mutually suspect each other, hiding their truest thoughts within.

But now, after Leng Qingqiu's frankness earlier, they truly had a genuine understanding of each other, leading to the current situation.

They walked along the broad street, slowly towards the cinema, looking exceptionally harmonious at a glance.

"Wait!"

Just as Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu were heading to the cinema, Lu Yu suddenly stopped.

He looked at a clothing store not far ahead that was still open, smiling slightly, immediately speaking to Leng Qingqiu beside him: "That dress suits you perfectly."

As he spoke, Lu Yu raised a hand, pointing to the window not far away, his gaze carrying a hint of a smile.

This smile contained a touch of fondness, absent of the hostility and ferocity Lu Yu had when confronting enemies, leaving only endless tenderness.

Facing the woman he loved deeply five years ago, even now, Lu Yu couldn't help but show an immeasurably gentle side.

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, at that moment, Leng Qingqiu's body stiffened, following the direction Lu Yu pointed, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Because he saw in the window, a white long dress was displayed, under the illumination of the lights, appearing incomparably magnificent, extremely luxurious.

"This dress?"

Seeing the white long dress in front of her, a trace of surprise appeared in Leng Qingqiu's eyes, she hadn't thought that Lu Yu would point her to such a grand gown: "Wouldn't it be too ostentatious?"

While speaking, Leng Qingqiu's tone carried a hint of hesitation, although her attire wasn't outdated, such apparel was something she had really never tried!

"No, it won't"

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, at that moment, Lu Yu spoke: "This dress was tailored just for you, let's try it out first!"

While speaking, without waiting for Leng Qingqiu to respond, he directly took her delicate hand, stepping towards the store.

"Hello, esteemed guests"

As they stepped into the store quickly, two elegant-looking staff greeted them, and said to Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu: "May I help you?"

While speaking, these two staff members spoke with a fluent London accent, their language carrying a trace of humility.

The space within this store was sizable, with various luxurious garments displayed, each of them exquisitely designed, priced high, very indicative of class.

Several well-dressed ladies were selecting clothes inside, appearing rather composed.

Seeing the scene before him, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile.

This store may look ordinary, but based on its display and the staff's service attitude, it could be concluded that this seemingly unremarkable store is definitely not just an ordinary shop.

"We would like to see that dress in the window."

Upon hearing the staff's words, Lu Yu spoke, his voice full of smile, appearing extremely composed.

"The dress in the window?"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, the staff's expression slightly changed, now looking at Lu Yu with a hint of surprise in her words.

She had never imagined that Lu Yu would choose such a gown.

"Sir, you have quite an eye."

After recovering from her shock, the staff spoke: "That gown was handcrafted by a master, superbly made, not only costly, but it's the only one, with no other sizes available for exchange."

"Even so, do you still wish to see this gown?"

While speaking, the staff asked with a hint of inquiry in her voice, maintaining her composure.

"Certainly."

Upon hearing the staff's words, Lu Yu spoke calmly: "This dress is simply tailor-made for my fiancée, I not only want to see it but also buy it!"

While speaking, Lu Yu's words contained a hint of firmness, sounding intensely confident.

"Such boastful words!"

As soon as Lu Yu spoke, a disdainful voice instantly echoed, carrying a bit of contempt: "No one has ever been able to fit this dress, tailor-made for your fiancée, how shameless to say so!"

The voice was sharp and contemptuous, tinged with arrogance, but it was clearly a woman's voice.

Upon hearing, Lu Yu's expression slightly halted, he turned subtly to look in the direction the voice came from, only to see a woman in a black gown standing not far behind him, looking at him with disdain, her eyes full of contempt.

This woman with a slender figure and fairly good looks, dressed crisply in black, was clearly the young lady of some noble family.

"Who are you?"

Upon hearing the woman's words, Lu Yu spoke calmly, his expression unperturbed but his eyes carried a hint of a chilling look.

Speaking just as someone rudely interrupted him, not merely that, her words carried such explicit aggressiveness.

Furthermore, such aggressive words were directed against Leng Qingqiu!

In some aspects, Lu Yu was cold and aloof, but in others, he was extremely protective, with Leng Qingqiu having just opened her heart tonight, meeting such insensible fool.

Thus, Lu Yu appeared calm as water externally, yet his eyes harbored a hint of solemnity, already thinking of how he would make this woman pay for her words and deeds!
