After they finished grocery shopping prince took her to a cloth store and decided to gift her a dress as her birthday was in a week's time
he dragged her into the store, what are you doing?" she protested. shopping of course "what does it look like to you?" he queried.
I can see you are shopping but why did you drag me along and why are you shopping at women's clothing store?"
I ....he was lost for words, he doesn't know what to say to her.
seeing his flushed face" she understood
Ah! must be for his girlfriend". she thought
i...um...
don't worry I get it you want to buy a dress for your girlfriend right? he nodded". before saying choose something you like, in your size.
why my size" she asked confused
he was grinning from ear to ear" as he replied because you both are similar".
we're similar?!
yes similar" now keep quiet and pick something he said and tossed her forward.
she looked around and picked a blue crystal studded backless mermaid gown, prince come over here" she called him over and asked what do you think of this?
do you like it? he asked
it's beautiful" Eve.....she was cut short by him
try it on" he pushed her towards the changing room
why should I....she was about to protest but the words got stucked in her throat as he placed his index finger on her lips and signalled her to keep quiet as her tossed her towards the changing room again.
she stepped out the room reluctantly and her eyes met his she shyly turned away showing her flawless back
he swallowed hard and walked closer to her he said perfect ".
he handed her a pink gown and asked her to try it on
Again! she exclaimed
just go" pushed her in.
she pulled the zipper of the dress but it didn't zip, she sighed softly and stomped her feet.
sticking her head out the door she asked him to call the shop attendant for help as the zipper got stuck.
he went to the front desk but the attendants were all busy attending to other people he waited but they were too occupied and asked him to wait a little while.
as most people doesn't recognize him as the Gu Family Prince the shop attendants didn't know him so they acted regardless
he went back to the changing room and knocked, she pulled him in thinking it was the attendant.
help me quickly" I don't know how the zipper got stucked she explained, please help me" hurry".
he was quiet and reluctant he opened his to tell her it was him but froze at what happened next,
she took his hands and placed it on her bare back,
he gulped as adrenaline rush through his body, he quickly closed his eyes and pulled the zipper, he sighed in relief as her back was now fully covered, he hurriedly left before she noticed it was him.
she stepped out, their eyes met and he couldn't look away he walked to her and said you are beautiful"
she blushed and said thank you.
are you sure the size is perfect? I mean what if your girlfriend is an inch taller than I am or .....
he pulled her towards the mirror and pointed at her reflection" he said here! look that's my girlfriend" isn't she exactly like you?".
dumbfounded she asked again" where?" he puts his hand on her shoulder and said you are my girlfriend".
she turned to look at him and said Gu Yichen quit joking will you" when did I become your girlfriend?
he didn't reply and just stood there quietly, seeing that he didn't respond she scoffs and said what a joker and went back to change into her old clothes
he was thinking of various ways he could in which he could tell her that he loves her.
After they paid for the clothes they left the place.
inside the car none of them spoke through the journey.
Finally found his voice he called Lily let's talk he said and halted the car.
seeing his serious expression Lily shook her head and said 'okay."
Do you know how I feel about you? Do you know I am madly in love with you? Do you know I have loved you from the same day we met? he said it all at once
Lily stared at him in shock and her jaw just wouldn't close no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't believe her ears" he Loved her"! Gu Yichen loved her that too from the they first met " how come she never saw that coming, even though her mother and Angel yoyo (Mrs Wan) thought so, she didn't believe it was true, she thought they were just exaggerating, never in her wildest dreams would she have believed that prince would fall in love with her.
Lily will you go out with me" he asked optimistically.
she was dumbstruck and did not know what to say but she managed to utter, I...I....I don't know what to say" I'm honored i...i really am but can you please give me some time to think about it.
it's okay" you can take your time. he said smiling.
he was happy, and hopeful since she didn't reject him it meant he stood a chance.
meanwhile somewhere in the outskirts of town a certain red head was seen seated with her legs crossed and her fingers tapping the table in front of her.
she glanced sideways and glared at the man seated across and said" do you understand what you're supposed to do?" he nodded and she continued
since you couldn't control your girlfriend" I'll have to show you how, if you follow everything I tell you you will get your revenge and also get paid handsomely and I'll get my brother Yichen it's a win win situation for us both" but if you fail I'll..... she brought her finger to her neck and moved it sideways.
SuYan nodded and smirked evilly and said you don't have to worry, I'll do the job perfectly.
Lily you don't deserve to be happy after what you did to me. i will steal your happiness" I will make your life miserable.I I'll make you suffer until you wish you are dead" he thought evilly.
his manly ego just couldn't accept the fact that she got someone better than him after he dumped her.
Sensing the change in him she streched her palm forward and asked 'Mr SuYan do we have a deal"
he took her hand and shook it he answered determinely "Deal".
