ATBLM [QT] Chapter 83.2

He said: “Old Sixth has been busy lately, so let me go with you.”

“Huh?” Jiang Rui looked up at him.

Huo Changyao glanced at her and moved away as if nothing had happened, “Old Sixth has military affairs.”

Jiang Rui could tell immediately that he was lying. If the commander is idle, where can the deputy be busy?

But since he came forward by himself, she did not have to refuse, “Isn’t the Big Brother busy?”

“Not busy.” Huo Changyao said. Because just now, he decided to assign Xu Hansheng the task of patrolling out of the city tomorrow.

“Okay, let’s go shopping together tomorrow.” Jiang Rui decided, “I’m going back to my room first. I’ll see you tomorrow morning, Big Brother.”

Huo Changyao nodded and watched her go through the passage door.

Since it was a dinner party with a female companion, Jiang Rui would probably have to dance. Jiang Rui had not danced for a long time and was afraid of making a fool of herself, so she turned the phonograph down low and practiced by herself in the room.

Next door, Huo Changyao had just picked up the book when he heard low music. He looked up, just in time to see a slender figure reflected on the calligraphy paper between the two rooms, swaying lightly and elegantly.

It took him a while to realize that she was dancing, probably in preparation for the banquet a few days later.

That figure disappears and appears from time to time, like a beautiful pattern on the revolving lantern, making people unconsciously look forward to when it will appear next time.

When the music stopped, Huo Changyao realized that he had watched it from beginning to end and the book in his hand was still not turning, it was still on the first page.

The two went out together the next day. The Huo family makes clothes and has specialized tailors who come to make tailor-made clothes. But Jiang Rui still likes to go to the store to choose, where she can see a variety of fabrics and styles with her own eyes.

Nowadays, there are no more than three different styles of women’s clothing: Han dress, cheongsam, and western dress. A Han dress consists of a top blouse and a skirt, and the most typical one is the female school uniform. Cheongsam is divided into traditional cheongsam and modified cheongsam. Fashionable ladies love to wear modified cheongsam. The sleeves are getting shorter, the waist is getting thinner, and the slits are getting higher, which can fully reflect the beauty of women’s curves.

Pan Susu’s clothes are mostly modified cheongsam and Jiang Rui also likes this kind of type.

She went to the store to have her body measured. When she was choosing a style, she caught sight of a snow-green embroidered sleeveless and close-fitting cheongsam. She picked it up and gestured to her body. She felt that it was about the same size as her own, so she went to the fitting room to change into it.

Huo Changyao sat on the sofa and waited. Even if he was just sitting casually, his waist and back were still straight and not loose.

The female customers came and went in the store and their eyes would glance at him from time to time. He just remained motionless, staring at the door of the fitting room.

The proprietress and tailor of the store is a frequent visitor to the Huo family, but she has never seen him much. It is said that Marshal Huo is cold and tough and that he works vigorously and resolutely. It is really surprising that Marshal Huo would accompany his newlywed wife to make clothes today. It was said outside that the two got married which was a Chongxi¹In Chinese, there is a phrase called Chong Xi, which is when a wedding is expected to bring happiness after a time of negativity.. They have been brother and sister for more than ten years, so they may not have a relationship as husband and wife and it seems that they may not be married now.

The proprietress deliberately stepped forward to greet him. Seeing him like that, it was obvious that he wanted to stay away from strangers. She hesitated a few times and finally did not dare to bother him.

The door of the fitting room finally opened, and with a creaking sound, everyone looked over subconsciously and their eyes lit up.

The color of snow-green is purple with bluish in it, which is difficult for ordinary people to bear. It will become vulgar if you are not careful. But, Jiang Rui’s skin is as white as snow, and with this color, she is not only good-looking, but also has an aloof temperament.

The most attractive thing is that the design of this dress is close-fitting and it has high requirements on the figure. But when she wears it, her chest is a little tight and her waist is loose. As she moves, her two fair and jade-like arms are light. The snow-white thighs were looming and swaying lightly, opening the high-forked skirt. Not to mention the men, even the female customers could not take their eyes off her.

“Big Brother, how about this one?” Jiang Rui took a look in front of the mirror and felt quite satisfied. She tilted her head and asked Huo Changyao.

Huo Changyao was lost in thought for some unknown reason. He turned around after being called out by her. Just as he was about to nod and say yes, he suddenly saw other people’s reactions from the corner of his eyes. Thinking of something, he turned to look outside the store. Sure enough, two men were standing outside the glass showcase and stopped walking. They were looking at his Xiao Qi with amazement. (T/N: HIS??? Lol…)

Frivolous. He frowned and thought.

These men are so superficial. As the elder brother, he naturally has to take good care of Xiao Qi so as not to let her suffer.

He stood up and strode toward Jiang Rui, blocking other people’s sight with his body, “This one doesn’t look good, let’s change it to another one.”
