His Breathtaking and Shimmering Light - Chapter 188

Arriving at the toy store, Huo Zhan asked, “Who was that man earlier on?”

“Someone unimportant…”

Even though she had said that, Huo Zhan could tell that they weren’t unacquainted. They must have met a couple of times prior as he furrowed his brows. “He’s courting you?”

Shi Guang did not wish to say more, but Huo Zhan took her silence as agreement and exclaimed out, “No way! That man looks to be rather decent, but why is his taste so poor! To think that he could like something like this!”

“Dissing me again? Are you tired of living?”

“I only wish for you to be more feminine.”

“Which part of me isn’t feminine! I’m even wearing a skirt today!”

“That skirt is way too long, isn’t it? Look at how short the skirts of other girls are, revealing their slender, long, white legs! That’s what I call feminine. But you… Where are your legs?”

‘Scram!” Shi Guang replied with a slap.

After choosing the toy with Huo Zhan, Shi Guang intended to head back. After all, she still had to give Lu Yanchen lessons in the afternoon. However, Huo Zhan was reluctant. “Really now? I came all the way out here and you’re not even treating me to tea?”

Shi Guang replied helplessly, “I’ve got no choice. I’ve got lessons later on.”

“What lessons? Just ask for leave,” As he said that, he pointed out at a flagship store on his right. “Come, come… We’ll get you a dress. You can’t look too shabby going for someone’s birthday dinner!”

Shi Guang glanced over—it was a store that specialized in gowns. Gowns were usually expensive, where the cheapest one would range between 1-2,000 yuan.

She was only attending a birthday dinner, so there was no point buying a dress she would not even wear on a usual basis. That was truly a waste.

However, Huo Zhan insisted on dragging her in forcefully while the attendant welcomed her passionately. “Mr. and Miss, good afternoon! Could I ask for the style you guys are looking for?”

Shi Guang wanted to wave her hands away but Huo Zhan had already replied with smiles, “I want a dress that would suit her.”

The attendant sized Shi Guang up and smiled gently, “This miss here is so beautiful, with a good figure. All the dresses here would definitely suit her. If you want something long, you can try this on. If short, I would recommend this instead.”

Shi Guang wanted to reject still, but Huo Zhan snatched her bag over with one hand while receiving the short dress from the attendant with the other. “The short one… Hurry and go try it out.”

Before long, Shi Guang came forth.

It was a white strapless dress with a creasing design at her chest area and a tightening corset. Worn by her, it exuded forth a charm and purity.

All the attendants in the shop widened their eyes in amazement. Even Huo Zhan, who had always been teasing her about not being feminine enough, could not help but get astounded before he clapped out. “Beautiful! That’s what I call a woman!”

Shi Guang looked at herself in the mirror, not too used to this ‘her’.

She had never once worn a gown, neither had she imagined herself in one. However, it was truly rather pretty. To begin with, she had a fair complexion, and thus, it complemented the white shade of the dress perfectly.

While it might be of a short style, it still looked elegant and classy on Shi Guang.

However, the price was a little steep… ‘Forget it! I’ll just wear any normal dress .’

Suddenly, a phone rang out—it was Shi Guang’s. Huo Zhan took her phone out of the bag and picked up the call. “Hello, who’s there?”

There was no voice on the other end.

“Why did you pick up my call…?” Shi Guang walked over before asking, “Who is it?”

Huo Zhan peeled the phone away slightly before reading the name on the screen and mouthing out, “Lu Yanchen…”

The moment she heard that, her heart skipped a bit as she hastened in her steps and took the phone over from Huo Zhan. Biting on her lip for a moment, Shi Guang answered, “Hello…”
