The manager bowed as he apologized to Yan Mei.

Yan Mei nodded indifferently and started walking away with Su Bei behind her.

”Who was that?” Su Bei asked once they were alone.

Yan Mei heaved a sigh, “Just a delusional bitch who thinks she can destroy my marriage with Lei Zhao by causing misunderstanding. We have been through a lot to let some petty misunderstanding ruin us.”

Yan Mei shrugged as she said. Even though she was curious about this ex of Lei Zhao, she was no way hurt or angry by him hiding it from her. Yan Mei knew he probably had his reasons.

But of course, she wouldn’t let the chance to tease Lei Zhao go. Yan Mei knew Lei Zhao might probably be looking at time right now. He was counting the seconds just to see her and explain.

If there is anything Yan Mei loved about Lei Zhao, it was how honest he was and how much he trusts her. Something Wang Lu lacks.

Thinking about Wang Lu, Yan Mei brows scrunched together. It’s been a long time since their last meeting but he hasn’t done anything.

Yan Mei found his quietness fishy. What was he planning? Or he has moved on finally.

”Yan Mei….are you listening to me?” Su Bei’s voice snapped Yan Mei out of her thoughts.

”Mmm…what did you say?” She asked her friend as they made their way to the Chanel store.

”I said it’s good that you and Lei Zhao trust each other. It’s rare to see that among couples nowadays.” Su Bei smiled at her friend.

”Mmm…well he hasn’t done anything for me not to trust him.”

The moment they entered the shop, an employee greeted them.

”Hello, please welcome to our store. How may we help you?”

Yan Mei turned towards Su Bei’s direction.

”It’s okay, we will look through the clothes by ourselves.” Yan Mei said quietly.

The employee nodded, “Alright then, please if you need anything. Let us know.”

After saying this, she went to stand at the corner stealing glances at Yan Mei and Su Bei. She was curious about the women who could make their manager sound so nervous on the phone.

Their manager had called beforehand to warn them not to disrespect these women. Who were these women?

Yan Mei pulled Su Bei to the place where the clothes were located. After rummaging through piles of dressers that looked too expensive to buy, Yan Mei bought a couple of dresses for Su Bei.

The dresses were so beautiful and looked so luxurious that Su Bei felt unworthy of wearing them. She had rejected them at first when Yan Mei gave it to her to try on but later she accepted due to Yan Mei’s persuasion.

After paying for the dresses, they quickly left the mall. Because Yan Mei wanted Su Bei to relax before her big night, they closed from work early today.

As soon as they got to Su Bei’s apartment, Yan Mei and Su Bei started preparing for Su Bei’s date that evening.

Su Bei took a shower as Yan Mei prepared her outfit.

Waiting for the water to get hot, Su Bei couldn’t help but look at herself in the mirror. She had to admit she was quite nervous about her date tonight. What if he doesn’t like her?

Taking a deep breath, Su Bei stripped her towel and stood under the shower. She closed her eyes, enjoying the hot water falling on her skin. Grabbing a handful of her favorite lavender scented shampoo, Su Bei massaged into her hair.

After pampering herself under the shower, Su Bei turned it off. She wrapped the towel around herself and went back to her room.

In her room, Yan Mei was standing there with a hand on her hip and the other holding her chin. Her brows furrowed into deep thought as she stared at the three outfits on the bed.

Knowing Ling Shao, Yan Mei knew he would wear a suit so she needed something that would compliment Su Bei’s body . Yan Mei wanted her to be simple yet elegant .

Suddenly Yan Mei beamed as she selected one of the dresses on the bed. She couldn’t wait to see Leng Shao’s face when he saw Su Bei.

”Are you done?” Su Bei finally spoke, making Yan Mei turn to look in her direction.

”Yes, I’m done. Now let’s make you the prettiest woman tonight!”.

Yan Mei squealed excitedly. She couldn’t help but feel like a teenager again.

************

”Wow….I didn’t know you were this pretty!” Yan Mei gushed as she stared at her friend. Su Bei looked really gorgeous. She could barely recognize herself in the mirror.

”Yeah…..I have to admit I look like those models for cosmetic commercials.” Su Bei said which caused them to laugh.

Su Bei blinked away the tears that were threatening to fall down. Never in her wildest dreams did she think she will wear such expensive clothes one day.

”Thank you, Yan Mei! You made me feel like Cinderella tonight.”

Su Bei pulled back and looked into the mirror. She blew out air and let out a nervous chuckle.

”D-do you think he would like me?” Su Bei asked as she played with her fingers.

Yan Mei grabbed her hand and gave it a small squeeze.

”Of course he would! Look at you….you look so beautiful. He would definitely like you. If he doesn’t it is his loss to let go of such a gorgeous woman like you.”

Yan Mei said as she twirled her friend around causing Su Bei to giggle.

Suddenly the sound of the door bell ringing caused them to freeze.

”Well…it seems your date is here. Are you ready?”

Yan Mei winked at Su Bei which caused her to blush.
