[DayTheEngagementWasBroken] Chapter 34.3 — Can I Not Act According to the Script?

Lu Wan was forcibly dragged into the store by Gou Xun. Before she even started looking at the dresses, she saw Ye Lang standing in the store and was a little surprised.

Ye Lang was standing next to the fitting room at this time. After exchanging a glance with Lu Wan, he nodded slightly.

“Why, do you know him?” Gou Xun followed Lu Wan’s gaze and looked back at the tall man standing there. After thinking for a moment, he said, “He looks a little familiar.”

That outfit looked a bit like the uniform worn by his family’s bodyguards.

At this time, Zhou Yutong finished changing back into her dress and walked out of the fitting room. She stood beside Tang Xinjiu, “Do we look familiar to you?”

Gou Xun: “…”

If by now Gou Xun still didn’t know who was in the store at this time, he would be a fool.

His eyes quickly shot towards the tightly closed door of the fitting room. For some reason, he felt a little nervous. Gou Xun pursed his lips tightly, his whole body tense, as if the fitting room door would open in the next second and some kind of monster would rush out from inside.

But no.

The door of the fitting room remained tightly closed, and the person inside did not come out to kill everyone.

It was as if she didn’t care what was going on outside.

Gou Xun didn’t know that Gou An was actually busy at that moment fighting with the Stupid Cat System—

[Jiaojiao: The following is the original text.]

[Gou An was surrounded by her rich second-generation friends from the circle and was madly flattered. Everyone praised her fair skin and beautiful looks, and said that she would definitely be the most beautiful one at the banquet that day if she put on that dress.

Gou An was very proud and declared that she would participate in her brother Gou Xun’s coming-of-age ceremony and dance the opening dance with him. By then, everyone’s attention would be attracted by her, and she would surely be the belle of the ball.

It was at this time that Lu Wan was pulled into the clothing store by Gou Xun.

At first she was very resistant, but when she saw rows of ready-made dresses that she never even had the chance to touch up close before, she was moved. She just thought to herself, “It would be nice to at least give it a try,” and she picked up a dress.]

Jiaojiao: I’ve omitted the 500 words describing how beautiful the heroine looks in this outfit.

[Everyone was stunned. Seeing Lu Wan wearing the same little black dress as Gou An, even Gou An’s rich second-generation friends couldn’t find any fault with her.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the air.

At this moment, Gou Xun said with great pride: Little Teacher, you are my opening dance partner!

Gou An, who had just declared that she will dance with her brother in the opening dance and steal the show, was repeatedly slapped in the face. Furious and embarrassed, she immediately threw a tantrum in the store, shouting how disgraceful it was that luxury dresses could be hung on the shelves in multiples, looking like street vendor goods, and even being tried on by poor people. As she spoke, she angrily threw down the dress she had just tried on!]

… …

Gou An: …

Gou An: Question: Can I not act according to the script?

Gou An: The author’s writing is so bad, it makes me look so stupid!!!

Gou An: Why would I jump out and cause a scene at a luxury brand store? Why would I feel like I can’t compare to Lu Wan and get so angry and embarrassed? I, I, I—

[Jiao Jiao: Lu Wan should be holding the same dress as the one you’re wearing right now. Would you consider—]

The word ‘avoiding’ was not yet uttered.

“Are you working?”

Lu Wan’s soft voice came floating in from outside the fitting room.

Silence for a few seconds.

Gou An slowly turned her head—her eyes bright, like a cat smelling a mouse—towards the direction of the sound.

“Mm.”

A dull male voice said.

“Is it very hard?” Lu Wan asked. “It’s harder than being at Endless Night, right? I see you haven’t been home for many days. Is it because you need to stay by her side all the time that you’re even staying at the Gou family’s?”

“Mm.”

“Uh, A’Lang?”

“Hm?”

“Look at this little dress. Do you think it would look good on me? I always feel like the pink bow—”

The door of the fitting room slammed open, interrupting the conversation between the two people standing next to the fitting room.

They both turned their heads and saw Miss Gou, who had not appeared until now, standing in front of the fitting room door with an expressionless face.

Her long, black, slightly curly hair almost blended in with the black of her dress, making her skin look as white as fine frost.

The brand’s unique waist-cinching design made her already slender waist seem so small that it could be grasped by one hand.

Under the naturally flouncing skirt, the curve of her waist and hips were outlined. Her white legs were slender and straight as she stood there barefoot.

Everyone who was talking in the store fell silent.

But those waiting for Miss Gou to go crazy would be disappointed. She just glanced at the dress in Lu Wan’s hand that was in the same style as hers, and then looked away calmly.

Turning around, she lifted the end of one the powdery pink ribbon that ran along the waistline of her dress and said, “Help me tie it on.”

The soft, silk-like fabric fell into the hands of the bodyguard with a stern and wooden face.

He pinched the cloth that seemed to still have the warmth of her body temperature, completely stunned for a while, and then seemed to clumsily figure out how to tie a decent bow behind the waist and hips of the dress.

During this time, the slightly rough fingertips inevitably touched the fair and delicate skin on her back——

Ye Lang paused for a moment, and felt that the snow-white skin in front of him was dazzling.

He calmed himself down and no longer cared whether the bow looked good or not. He quickly solved the problem and let go of her. However, because he was distracted, he did not step back immediately as he usually would.

Gou An turned her head and looked at herself in the mirror.

She tilted her head, looked at Ye Lang, and asked the same question again, “Does it look good?”

Her voice was cold.

Ye Lang could only stare at the corner of the shop for a long time, his Adam’s apple rolling up and down silently.

This time, he responded.

“Mm.”

“Say it.”

“’s good.”

Miss Gou finally smiled. She stepped on the disposable slippers provided by the store, held her head high, and walked past Lu Wan and Gou Xun without blinking.

Pulling out her card at the cashier, Miss Gou said, “Just this one. Please swipe the card. Thank you.”
