Before Xu Zhiyi could speak, Liu Yuanyuan and Li Lu started to comment on the things she bought, smacking her tongue and shaking her head.
It’s not that she lost money on this dress, but that the shoes were cheaper online.
In short, her purchase was not worth it. She was afraid that she was deceived by the shopping guide and spent all her money in vain. She was just taken advantage of.
In an instant, Xu Zhiyi lost the desire to share with them.
After that, she never asked them to accompany her to the mall again.
She felt that they couldn't help her and kept ruining her fun.
The person she married was Octavia, and she knew very well that when entering such a family, in terms of finance, it was impossible to ask Octavia, who had a high income, to come down to her. She had to go up to meet Octavia.
She married a rich man, that was the status quo.
Having money is not a bad thing, and using money to improve her consumption level is not a bad thing either.
We can't let Octavia lower his consumption level just because he married her.
Marrying her is not a bad thing.
It is said that it is easy to go from simplicity to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to simplicity.
Since it is easier to learn how to spend a lot of money, let her learn it and not require Octavia to be frugal.
Because this matter is more difficult for Octavia.
The shopping guide stayed with her for three days. By the weekend, she had decided on her engagement dress. She showed Li Zijuan the video on the spot and liked it.
It is an improved version of pink silk cheongsam.
She still likes Chinese dresses and Chinese colors.
Red is the orthodox color worn only for weddings. Choose pink for engagements, which makes you appear whiter and younger, and is also festive.
This cheongsam is quite expensive, and the style is not too formal. You can wear it on a daily basis after wearing it for an engagement.
This was the advice Li Zijuan gave her, and she felt it was quite right.
It is not cost-effective to wear such expensive clothes only once.
After ordering the dress, she suddenly realized that if she just bought her own dress, she would also need to buy an engagement dress for Octavia.
Octavia was on a business trip, so she was afraid she wouldn't have time to buy it. Besides, Octavia's dress should at least match hers.
She called Octavia to ask, and Octavia was shocked when she heard it.
Octavia's work in Paris is coming to an end, and he will take a flight back to China on October 1. This week has been particularly busy, so he has much less time to talk to Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Zhiyi was busy with classes and squeezing in time to buy things, so he didn't have much time.
By some strange coincidence, neither of them thought of telling the other about the engagement dress.
Mingrui didn't say it because his uncle Zhou Feng had already arranged for someone to prepare the engagement items related to the dresses of both parties. It was only for him and Xu Zhiyi to return to the Acropolis to choose what they liked personally, so they didn't need to worry about it at all.
When Xu Zhiyi asked him, he immediately realized that he had been negligent.
Upon hearing that Octavia said that his family had made arrangements and there was no need for her to prepare these things, Xu Zhiyi's expression was unspeakable. She forced a smile at Octavia who apologized to her:
"Haha, just be ready. We will go back and choose together. Choose together."
The real her was so upset that she wanted to beat her chest.
Fortunately, when she buys things, she follows the same advice as Li Zijuan's cheongsam suggestion. All things considered, after the engagement, it can also be used in daily life.
"Zhiyi, I'm sorry. I can't accompany you in person due to work reasons, and such a big omission is all my responsibility. I promise that I will personally handle our wedding, accompany you throughout the process, communicate with you in a timely manner, and make it perfect. ."
Octavia's sincerity made Xu Zhiyi feel embarrassed, "It's not that serious. Don't worry about it. In fact, we are not used to considering each other in everything. After all, we have never even held hands until now."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Zhiyi's face turned red.
Octavia's eyes were full of smiles, "It's my fault. Zhiyi wanted to hold my hand, but I didn't expect that he would be so slow. When I get back, I'll patch it up for Zhiyi, both my left and right hands, okay?"
Xu Zhiyi's face turned redder and she explained anxiously:
"I don't want to hold your hand, no, no, that's not what I mean, and it's not that I don't want to hold your hand. Oh, it's like a tongue twister. In short, what I mean is that we don't even have close contact. Just getting engaged seems to be different from other blind dates.”
Mingrui's eyes showed confusion, "What does intimate contact mean? Zhiyi, do you still want me to kiss you?"
Xu Zhiyi was about to scream, "That's not what I meant!"
"So you don't want me to kiss you?"
"No!"
"I'm confused by you, Zhiyi, tell me, do you want me to kiss you?"
Xu Zhiyi covered her face, "Oh, Brother Mingrui! I just want to say, would it be too hasty for us to get engaged without even dating?"
Octavia stopped teasing her, chuckled a few times and said:
"Zhiyi, after we get engaged to you, the Ming family will start preparing for our wedding. Don't worry, we will fall in love."
Xu Zhiyi didn't understand what he meant and showed a confused face.
Octavia's eyes looked at her with unprecedented tenderness, and his tone was low and powerful:
"Zhiyi, I want to marry you in December this year. I want to fall in love with you so much. In my opinion, marriage is a love without breaking up. This is the most romantic way of love that I can think of."
"Zhiyi, fall in love with me, okay?"
Mingrui's words hit Xu Zhiyi's heart. She pursed her lips shyly, nodded, and whispered "Yeah" softly.
No longer having to buy things for the engagement, Xu Zhiyi spent more time in the dormitory.
It's National Day the day after tomorrow, and Xu Zhiyi will fly back to the Acropolis tomorrow afternoon.
She had to take a lot of things with her when she went home this time. She wanted to sort them out in advance, so she didn't go to the library. After dinner, she went directly back to the dormitory.
As soon as she opened the dormitory door, she saw Ding Siyue crying.
Ding Siyue saw her coming in and quickly raised her hands to wipe her tears.
Liu Yuanyuan and Li Lu went to have dinner with fellow villagers and were not in the dormitory.
Xu Zhiyi glanced at her and silently sat at the table under his bed, back to back with her.
In the dormitory, Ding Siyue's sobs could be heard from time to time.
After a while, Xu Zhiyi turned around, patted her back, and handed her his heart bear flower, "I'll let you hold it for a while. Don't bite it, it will hurt."
Ding Siyue glanced at Huahua, hugged it, held it tightly in her arms, curled her lips, and let out a long cry:
"He and I broke up completely this time. He didn't hold back at all when he heard me saying we were breaking up, and he looked relieved. Scumbag, you are not a fucking thing! I spent more than six years of my youth like this. It’s a dog.”
Xu Zhiyi still had his back to her, "Just split it up. At least, you don't have to continue being dog food."
"Xu Zhiyi! How did you speak? Do you still have sympathy?!"
"Ding Siyue! Why should I sympathize with you? Have you forgotten why you scolded me for no reason? Sorry, I hold a grudge, not the Virgin Mary!"
"Well..." Ding Siyue burst into tears suddenly, "I'm sorry, it was my fault that day, I shouldn't have said that to you... But, I couldn't control myself.
How could I become like this? How could I become like this because of a stinky man... Even I hate myself, wuwuwu..."
Xu Zhiyi turned around quickly.
