She shook her head blankly. "I don't know. She didn't tell me, and I didn't ask. I only know that she came back to order a wedding dress."

Rubbing her forehead in frustration, Lin Yuqing analyzed to herself, "Of the more famous bridal shops nearby, Zhenai is the only one. Let's go there tomorrow to see if we can find any information about Qingtian. She's a simple and kind girl, and we must not let her be deceived by bad people."

"How can you be sure she is innocent?"

Xiao Mingyang had been observing Bai Yiran's reaction, and spoke slowly, but said something that made Lin Yuqing unhappy.

"Of course it's a feeling. That kind of pure and sunny feeling is not something a scheming person can fake."

"Anyone who has connections with a mafia family is naturally no ordinary person." Xiao Mingyang put his arm around Lin Yuqing's shoulders and analyzed, "How much do you know about this guy named Qingtian?"

"This..." It seems that apart from the name, I really know nothing about it.

Lin Yuqing looked up at Bai Yiran and found that he looked dazed, as if he was thinking about something.

Sitting helplessly beside Xiao Mingyang, Lin Yuqing crossed her arms and said with some resignation, "Okay, I don't really know her very well, but Qingtian is just a little girl. How could she possibly attract the son of a mafia family?"

"Being able to conceal one's tracks so completely is one's greatest skill." Xiao Mingyang kept looking at Bai Yiran with a scrutinizing gaze as he spoke. "I guess if this girl hadn't shown up, you wouldn't have heard from her until now."

Although she hated to admit it, Lin Yuqing knew that Xiao Mingyang's words made sense. However, at the critical moment, this guy just drank the sweet soup and had no intention of continuing. Lin Yuqing had no choice but to take the initiative and asked, "Then what good ideas do you have to find Qingtian?"

"Didn't you just tell me to go to Zhenai Bridal Shop? They're bound to have customer information there, so I can find it there."

This cunning guy, it’s the same as if he said nothing!

Wearing a snow-white wedding dress, Qingtian slowly walked to the mirror.

"My dear, this wedding dress suits you so well. You will definitely be the most beautiful bride on your wedding day!" The store manager flattered Qingtian with a smile while helping her smooth the hem of her dress.

Although these were flattering words, the girl in the mirror was truly beautiful. The crystals on her skirt reflected bits of light against the sunny sky, making her look like an elf that had fallen into the mortal world.

Looking up at herself in the mirror, Qingtian realized the girl inside didn't look happy at all, as if the person she was about to marry wasn't her. She hadn't had any expectations for this marriage in the first place, so it didn't matter who she married. If the person standing beside her on her wedding day had been Bai Yiran, she definitely wouldn't be like this now.

Shaking his head vigorously, Qingtian ordered himself not to think about that man anymore.

"What's wrong, dear? Are you not satisfied with something?" Seeing Qingtian's face change, the manager asked anxiously.

"No," Qingtian turned and walked into the dressing room, and ordered, "I like this wedding dress very much. Have someone send it to the Earl's Mansion tomorrow."

"Okay." The store manager breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to explain the next work to the assistant beside him.

"Guest, this is the VIP area. You are not a member of this restaurant, so you are not allowed to enter here!"

Seeing the woman who had inexplicably broken in, the store manager's expression changed. He quickly walked over and asked, "Susan, what's going on?"

"Well, I've already told this guest not to come in, but..."

"It's okay, I know this guy." Qingtian, who had just walked out of the locker room, happened to see Lin Yuqing, who was wearing sportswear, being sandwiched between two people. He walked straight up to her and asked, "Are you looking for me?"

After seeing the clear sky, Lin Yuqing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, she wasn't sure if the person inside was Sunny. If she found the wrong person, it would be embarrassing. Fortunately, things went smoothly.

Lin Yuqing smiled apologetically to the people around her, looked at Qingtian, and said, "I wonder if you have time today. We can talk."

"Well, I don't have anything to do right now anyway, so where are we going?"

Lin Yuqing didn't expect her to agree so readily. After a pause, she said, "Let's go sit in the coffee shop next door."

Pinshang Coffee Shop

Stirring the coffee in front of her, Lin Yuqing tilted her head and looked at Qingtian across from her. She smiled and said, "You two really look alike."

"Hmm?" Qingtian looked up at Lin Yuqing blankly, as if he didn't expect that this would be the opening line between the two of them.

"I said, you and Yiran, both of you are so stubborn."

Qingtian curled his lips, seeming to disagree with such a statement, "I'm not like that guy. He's unromantic and rude. He's just a big block of wood."

"But that piece of wood misses you so much that it's been distracted all day and has even become sick."

He hurriedly looked up at Lin Yuqing, his eyes filled with worry, "Is he sick?"

"Yeah, lovesickness."

With her hands supporting her chin, Lin Yuqing looked at Qingtian with amusement. When Qingtian found out that she was being teased, she pouted her red lips, a little angry.

"Since you still have him in your heart, why do you agree to someone else's proposal?"

Looking down at his iced mocha, Qingtian murmured, "Who still has that guy in mind? I've forgotten him a long time ago."

"If you really forgot, why did you come back? There are so many famous bridal shops, but you chose to come back here. Actually, you still want to see Yiran again, right?"

"I... this is just... a coincidence." Qingtian seemed a little flustered when his real concern was suddenly revealed.

"Even Xuan'er won't believe what you say." After taking a sip of coffee, Lin Yuqing found that things were not as bad as expected. Perhaps, she could make Qingtian change his mind.

"You're a good girl. You shouldn't treat marriage as a gamble. It's a blessing to meet the one you love in life, and it's even happier to walk through life hand in hand with them. You're holding happiness in your hands right now, so you should hold on to it."

Qingtian laughed at himself and said, "If you knew what kind of person I am, you wouldn't say such a thing."

Thinking of Xiao Mingyang's words, Lin Yuqing slowly restrained her smile and asked, "Could it be that you know David's identity?"

"Of course, we grew up together. When we were little, we even played a prank on the director of the orphanage together. We were beaten so badly that we couldn't get out of bed for three days."

"Orphanage?"

A long spoon casually stirred the ice cream on the mocha. Sunny didn't seem to be shy about this topic and said, "Yes, David and I are both adopted children."

"Sorry, I didn't know about this. I'm sorry for being so abrupt."
