The Marshal of the Republic of China (11)

“This one is not good, please change it to another one.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the store looked at Huo Changyao with surprise in their eyes. If this is not good, then what does it take to be called good?

Jiang Rui did not want to change either. She looked at herself in the mirror again and her intuition told her that this man had lied again.

She walked around Huo Changyao and whispered, “I think it’s pretty good.”

The proprietress also said: “Yes, this is a new style for this summer. Not long after it was put up, several ladies and madams wanted to wear it, but they couldn’t match it. I have never seen anyone more suitable than Miss Seventh, isn’t it?” She smiled and shook her head, “Now, it’s time to call Mrs. Huo. I haven’t seen Madam for a while and she is much more beautiful than before.”

Her words were not meant to be flattering. Miss Seventh was beautiful in the past, but she was not as beautiful as she is now. She had an indescribable temperament and charm and her skin became so white. The so-called whiteness covers all ugliness, but she was originally just ordinary beauty. Now, it has become very beautiful.

“It is said that people are in high spirits during happy events. Madam and Marshal are married. She is even more charming and makes people unable to take their eyes away. I almost didn’t recognize her just as she walked in.”

There is no woman who doesn’t like being praised. Jiang Rui also considered herself to be a common person, immediately smiled, and said: “Sister Xiao is overwhelmed. For this style, please order one for me.”

Just as Sister Xiao was about to respond, Huo Changyao said to her: “Wait a moment.” After speaking, he pulled Jiang Rui aside.

She was curious and quietly raised her ears.

Huo Changyao whispered to Jiang Rui: “Listen to Big Brother, let’s change it to another one. I think others are also good.”

“But, I just think this one is good-looking. If Sixth Brother is ​​here, he will definitely say it is good-looking too.” Jiang Rui said.

Huo Changyao did not blink his eyes and said, “The Old Sixth has a bad vision. It must be a lie.”

Jiang Rui pouted slightly, but said nothing, just not wanting to change.

Looking at her appearance, Huo Changyao was a little bit distressed, but at the same time, he felt it was quite novel. He had never coaxed anyone before.

He thought for a while and then said: “How about changing this dress and I will give you a bottle of perfume as well?”

Jiang Rui was not moved, “I can buy it myself.”

“Two bottles?”

“I can afford it too.”

Seeing her slightly tilted chin and her complacent look, Huo Changyao used his trump card: “Let’s go to the department store later. No matter what you fancy, Big Brother will pay for it.”

Jiang Rui rolled her eyes, a little moved.

Huo Changyao saw it and continued his efforts: “Not only today but also in the future, I will cover all your expenses.”

“Really?” Jiang Rui asked him.

“How can I lie to you?”

Jiang Rui pursed her lips for a bit of amusement and then reluctantly said: “Then, I will give Big Brother some face.”

Huo Changyao actually wanted to laugh a little when he heard this and thought to himself: Little girl, who is he doing this for? (T/N: Marshal Huo: Of course, for… Myself)

Sister Xiao listened to the whole process and could not help but be speechless. First, she was surprised by what they called each other. They were already married. One of them still called him Big Brother and the other also called himself eldest brother. Don’t you think it is violated? Or should she say, this is the fun between them, when they sleep at night…

Realizing that her thoughts were crooked, Sister Xiao sighed to herself twice in her mind and stopped her thoughts in time.

Also, Marshal Huo, who looked cold and serious, was so talkative in front of his younger sister and newlywed wife. Sure enough, since ancient times, heroes have been saddened by beauty. The cold iron that has been around you for thousands of years has to turn into softness when you are in front of your sweetheart.

In the end, Jiang Rui chose a goose-yellow modified cheongsam. It was not as close-fitting as the previous one, but it was also sleeveless. However, the shoulders were connected with ruffled sleeves of the same color gauze, making it look fresh and bright with a bit of elegance.

On the day of the banquet, in the evening, Huo Changyao sent someone to the Huo Mansion to pick her up. Because it was still early, she was picked up and sent to his office first.

Xu Hansheng was also there. When he saw Jiang Rui, he smiled and praised: “Our Xiao Qi has grown into a big girl. If you go out on the street with Sixth Brother in the future, other men will definitely be jealous of me.”

“The Sixth Brother is good at talking.” Jiang Rui was very happy to hear this.

Huo Changyao frowned and said, “Old Sixth, when did you learn to speak glibly?”

“Brother, don’t accuse me wrongly. What I said is all the truth.” Xu Hansheng said with a smile.

Jiang Rui took him by the arm, obviously, belonging to the same side as him, “Let’s ignore Big Brother, he will only dislike people. Sixth Brother, do you know, Big Brother promised me that he will cover all my expenses in the future. If you like anything, just tell me and I’ll buy it for you.”

She patted her chest and was very generous. People who did not know it thought she was spending her own money.

Huo Changyao could not help saying: “Xiao Qi, the two of us are a family now.”

“It’s not like we’re really getting married.” Jiang Rui said with a smile, talking to Xu Hansheng again.

Her words made Huo Changyao stunned for a moment. Indeed, he and Xiao Qi are not a real husband and wife. He also said before that Xiao Qi will find someone she likes in the future. Regardless of whether his mother agrees or not, he will find a way to set her free.

But now he was thinking, what kind of person would Xiao Qi like? Is the other person’s appearance, character, and family background worthy of hers? He also thought that she was still young and had no experience, so she could easily be deceived. As an elder brother, he should take good care of her.
