Young Master Gu, Please Be Gentle

Chapter 1433: Breathtaking

As Lu Yeming watched Mu Yanfeng hugging Jun Xiqing, aloof eyes also saw that she had reached out one fair little hand to gently pat him on the back, as if comforting him.

The sight made Lu Yeming's eyes turn deadly, like two tiny abysses fixed firmly upon that man and woman hugging.

"Young Master Mu, Sister Jun, you are both out shopping too! What a coincidence." Mu Yanyan smiled happily.

When she heard the unexpected voice, Jun Xiqing gently pushed Mu Yanfeng away and turned to look, only to meet Lu Yeming's malevolent eyes. He was staring at them as if he had just caught them cheating.

A gracious smile appeared on her face. "Hello President Lu, Miss Mu."

"Sister Jun, it will be Brother Yeming's mother's birthday party in two days' time. So Brother Yeming is accompanying me to shop for a dress."

As she said this, Mu Yanyan gazed at the man beside her. Her bashfulness was laced with happiness, as sweet as a young girl in the throes of her first love.

Brother Yeming…?

Jun Xiqing raised her eyebrows. In just two days, this Mu Yanyan had progressed from 'President Lu' to 'Brother Yeming'. It seemed things were going well for her.

"Qingqing, aren't you also buying something? We should go and get it." Mu Yanfeng spoke up warmly.

Jun Xiqing nodded. "Alright. President Lu, Miss Mu, excuse us." The pair then walked into a shop together.

Why was she so different? Lu Yeming looked at Jun Xiqing's departing profile. She was all smiles when talking to Mu Yanfeng, her expression soft and gentle. But whenever she was talking to him, she was stiffly polite, remote and cold, behaving as if she couldn't wait to get away from him.

Lu Yeming pressed his lips into a straight line. He suddenly felt out of breath, and was not sure whether it was because his wound was hurting him or because his heart felt constricted.

…

Inside the shop, Jun Xiqing glanced sideways at Mu Yanfeng. Her gaze was frank and direct. "Young Master Mu, thank you for being so good to me. But I probably can't give you what you want."

Mu Yanfeng gave a small smile. "Qingqing, can you not be so honest all the time?"

"Young Master Mu, I treat you as my friend, so I don't want to take advantage of you."

"Qingqing, tell me honestly. Are you going to wait for Lu Yeming the rest of your life? Are you never going to accept another man?"

"Of course not. It's already over between the two of us."

"Then it's fine. Qingqing, you have the right to reject me, but I also have the right to woo you."

Mm…

Jun Xiqing was speechless. All she could do was to give a wan smile. Alright, she was a single girl and she could just enjoy being wooed by her admirers. Moreover, Young Master Mu was really very good to her.

"Hello Miss, this dress is one of the latest designs by our master designer. It is extremely charming and suits your style. You can try it on in the dressing room."

"Sure."

Jun Xiqing carried the gown into the dressing room.

10 minutes later, she came out.

Mu Yanfeng was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine. Hearing a noise, he immediately lifted his eyes.

Damn. He was greeted by a breathtaking sight and was completely unable to tear his eyes away.

The man's steadfast gaze made Jun Xiqing feel rather embarrassed. She fiddled with the skirt awkwardly. "Young Master Mu, do I look very weird wearing this?"

"My goodness, Miss, you look gorgeous! This dress looks like it was made for you." The shop employee gasped.

Jun Xiqing was wearing a long pink lace dress with a shallow v-neckline. It was sexy without being too revealing. It also accentuated her tiny waist and long legs. In that dress, Jun Xiqing looked like a beautiful fairy in a painting.

Mu Yanfeng stood up and looked at Jun Xiqing with piercing eyes. "Qingqing, you are truly stunning."

Jun Xiqing's petite face turned somewhat red at his direct praise.

Although she had been wearing a veil the entire time, it did not affect her allure. With her bright eyes and well-shaped forehead, the veil only served to add a sense of mystery to her beauty.

"Sister Jun, you look so beautiful."

When Jun Xiqing looked up again, she saw Lu Yeming and Mu Yanyan entering the shop.

The shopping mall was so big, but they had to bump into each other again?

Jun Xiqing glanced at Lu Yeming only to see him openly sizing her up, before his eyes finally landed on her cleavage.

His scrutiny was rather eerie.

Jun Xiqing raised her brows slightly. Her line of sight suddenly went dark as Mu Yanfeng stood in front of her, blocking her from Lu Yeming's gaze.

A challenge started as Lu Yeming stared down Mu Yanfeng. The two men were equally tall and handsome, and sparks flew between the two of them.

It was impossible not to feel the stifling atmosphere, and having been snubbed, Mu Yanyan's eyes turned cold. A god-like man like Lu Yeming was actually exposing his jealousy and facing off another man… all for Jun Xiqing's sake.

Perhaps he himself never realized his own capacity for being jealous.

"Hello, Manager, I have come to collect my gown. A custom-made dress by Angel was delivered to your shop." Mu Yanyan smiled at the store manager.

The manager was stunned. Oh no, she had forgotten about that.

An apologetic expression crossed her face as the manager bowed slightly towards Jun Xiqing. "Miss, I am truly very sorry. The gown you have on is custom-made by Angel for Miss Mu. So I cannot sell it to you."

Jun Xiqing understood the dilemma the manager was in. "Since it belongs to Miss Mu, I will go take it off."

"Wait a minute Qingqing, you really extremely beautiful in this dress. Miss Mu, I can buy this dress from you at any price you name." Mu Yanfeng looked at Mu Yanyan.

Put on the spot, Mu Yanyan replied, "But this is a dress which Brother Yeming had Angel design specially for me.

"Sister Jun, do you know of Angel? She is the new darling of the fashion world and has taken the entire world by storm over the past three years. Every new design by Angel for each of the seasons is highly coveted. Angel has already become the shining beacon of the fashion circles.

"But this Angel is very mysterious. Till now, no one has ever seen her true face. It's extremely difficult to get her to make a custom-made gown."

With that, Mu Yanyan glanced shyly at Lu Yeming. "Brother Yeming, do you think I should give this dress to Sister Jun?"

All eyes turned toward Lu Yeming.

Lu Yeming didn't say anything. Born with a natural aristocratic air, he commanded attention even if he was just standing nonchalantly at the side. Here was a true king.

He raised his brows slightly and looked at Jun Xiqing. His eyes drifted down to her cleavage again.

Lu Yeming glanced at Mu Yanyan and said gently, "This is for you. No one else can have it."

A sweet smile immediately blossomed on Mu Yanyan's face.

"Qingqing…" Mu Yanfeng wanted to say something.

A raise of her delicate hand quickly stopped Mu Yanfeng. "Young Master Mu, forget it, it's only a dress. We can buy another one. A dress, a man. These are just some of the things I have discarded, but are treated like priceless treasures by another. It seems some people like to flaunt about it, as if worried that people won't realize that they are ultimately just a rubbish collection point."
