And, Li Haojue couldn't take his eyes off her as well.
Li Haojue didn't intend to come for the gown fitting after ending the call. However, due to Fang Hui being sarcastic at home, he awkwardly made his way there. He thought Xiao Fan had already left, but to his surprise, she was still there, trying on the wedding dress.
Xiao Fan looked truly stunning, and Li Haojue realized his heart was beating a little faster.
"Xiao Fan, you're too beautiful! Even I, as a woman, am overwhelmed by the sight of you. I—" Just as Mu Xia was about to embark on a thousand-word essay of admiration, she suddenly noticed Xiao Fan's gaze was off. Following it, she spotted a man in a wheelchair wearing a mask standing behind them.
Mu Xia didn't know Li Haojue, but judging by his appearance, she made a rough guess. Indeed, the next moment, she heard Xiao Fan saying, "You're here."
Li Haojue snapped back to his senses, nodding his head. He suddenly felt glad that he wore a mask. Otherwise, the dumbfounded expression from earlier would've been quite embarrassing.
Xiao Fan welcomed Li Haojue's presence. She lifted the hem of her elaborate wedding dress and asked him, "How do you like it?"
After adjusting his emotions, he nodded, "Not bad." Just two simple words.
Xiao Fan was decisive, "Then, let's go with this one." Trying on wedding dresses was a hassle, and she didn't want to keep changing.
When Xiao Fan went in to change, Mu Xia walked up to Li Haojue and suddenly said, "Isn't our Xian Fan exceptionally beautiful? It's not exaggerating to say that those pursuing her in the past few years have formed a long queue!"
Li Haojue nodded slightly, indicating he was listening.
Mu Xia frowned and continued, "So, after marrying her, you should feel a sense of crisis, understand? You have to treat her well! Don't think that just because you marry her, she's stuck with you for life. I warn you, if you treat her badly, I'll take her away in minutes! Although her father is unreliable, I, Mu Xia, am her strongest support. No one is allowed to bully her! Do you understand?"
Li Haojue gazed ahead indifferently, and it wasn't clear if he was listening to Mu Xia.
Feeling ignored, Mu Xia pretended to be fierce and said in a deep voice, "I'm talking to you! Do you hear me?"
"Miss Mu, you're overthinking." Li Haojue rotated his wheelchair and calmly said, "In my current condition, Xiao Fan is the one who's compromising. How could I treat her poorly?"
Mu Xia blinked her eyes. This… she was unsure of how to respond to him.
Time passed quickly, and suddenly it was the day of the wedding. The day before the wedding, Mu Xia especially came to accompany Xiao Fan, "Xiao Fan, are you nervous? Why do I feel more nervous than you!"
Xiao Fan looked tired. "I've been working overtime these past two days. I'm almost going crazy. Right now, I just want to get a good night's sleep. As for the wedding, I don't have the energy to think about it."
These days, there have been some changes in the company. Two designer assistants joined the company at the same time as Xiao Fan. According to the head of the design department, one person between her and the other girl had to leave the company. Everyone assumed that she would be the one to leave, as the other girl's father held a position in the company with significant influence. Xiao Fan had no such background, so naturally, she would be at a disadvantage in this situation. However, no matter what, Xiao Fan tried her best to do every job well. She was clear in her conscience. As for the outcome, she would let nature take its course.
Mu Xia suddenly felt heartache and pulled Xiao Fan onto the bed, "Then go to sleep, rest well, and be the most beautiful bride tomorrow!"
On the day of the wedding, even though the groom was Li Haojue, the unfavored eldest son of the Li family, marrying Xiao Fan, the abandoned daughter of the Xiao family, there were still many guests at the wedding. There were even a few media friends who wanted to take the opportunity to interview Li Haojue, the legendary eccentric eldest son of the Li family.
Xiao Fan woke up early and went to the dressing room to do her makeup, so she didn't encounter any reporters. Li Haojue arrived later and was immediately surrounded by a group of reporters as soon as he reached the door.
"First Young Master Li, can we talk about your feelings at this moment? Is your marriage with Miss Xiao a business alliance?"
"First Young Master Li, are you looking forward to today's wedding? According to reports, you registered your marriage not long after you met Miss Xiao. Is there any unknown secret behind this?"
"First Young Master Li, do you know about Miss Xiao's past? Some people are saying that you picked second-hand goods, willingly becoming a father to someone else's child. How do you respond to these claims?"
