Chapter 310: Chapter 310: The Wedding Can’t Be Delayed Any Longer

Madam Ning angrily slapped her daughter’s arm.

"You speak up now. I arranged for you to stay close to him since you were young to make sure no other woman could get to him. How could you still let someone else snatch him away?"

Ning Nuan bit her lip tightly and remained silent.

"Let’s go, have your grandfather take us to Old Master Nangong to argue our case! This is truly bullying too much!"

Madam Ning grabbed Ning Nuan’s hand.

She didn’t dare to make a scene in front of Mu Yunlie, but she dared to create a scene at Nangong Jie’s place.

Since Old Master Ning had once saved Nangong Jie’s life on the battlefield, Nangong Jie was very caring and tolerant towards the Ning Family.

"I’m not going! Aren’t you ashamed enough?!"

Ning Nuan shook off Madam Ning’s hand and ran away.

With so many people watching today, all of them gossip-loving rich young ladies and madams, it wouldn’t be long before everyone knew she had been jilted.

Madam Ning stood there, stunned.

Her daughter had always been a well-behaved and obedient lady—this was the first time she had ever spoken to her in such a loud voice, and in public, no less!

Madam Ning turned around and glared fiercely at the shop.

She would not let this go just like that!

Inside the shop, the crowd that had gathered to watch the spectacle scattered, frightened by Mu Yunlie’s gaze.

People who even Mrs. Ning wouldn’t dare to offend—they certainly didn’t dare to either.

Mu Yunlie tenderly cupped Yan Qianyi’s face, his brow deeply furrowed, regretting that he had not protected her earlier.

Yan Qianyi smiled, "It’s okay, it really doesn’t hurt."

Mu Yunlie took her hand, "Let’s go, we are heading back."

He had originally intended to bring her here to have a beautiful dress custom-made, but now his mood was completely ruined by that crazy woman.

"My dress hasn’t even been fitted yet."

"You’re still in the mood?"

"Of course, why should I let a mad dog affect my mood? We’ve come all this way, and I sacrificed my time to sleep in—I’m definitely getting it done before leaving."

Mu Yunlie’s expression softened a bit, "Alright then, go try it on, I’ll wait for you outside."

This time, Mu Yunlie wasn’t going anywhere; he just stood outside the changing room.

He was still angry about the incident.

If the other party hadn’t been Madam Ning, he wouldn’t have let it go just like that.

Of course, even though it was Madam Ning, if there was a next time, he would not let her off easily.

Ultimately, it was his fault too; he hadn’t given her the status she deserved, having married quietly without informing others, which naturally led to misunderstandings.

Therefore, the wedding could not be delayed any longer.

He must let the whole world know that she was his wife!

When Yan Qianyi came out of the changing room, Mu Yunlie pulled himself from his thoughts and looked up, momentarily stunned.

The black mermaid evening dress accentuated her graceful figure, with V-neck designs at both front and back, vividly displaying feminine beauty.

Though it was a standard size demo, and didn’t fit her perfectly, she still looked stunningly beautiful.

A female store assistant complimented her, "Miss, you have such a wonderful figure. Many of our clients love this design, but whether they’re too heavy or too short, no one wears it as well as you."

"Thank you."

Yan Qianyi smiled at the store assistant.

Being a woman herself, the store assistant was almost enchanted by Yan Qianyi’s smile, and continued to praise, "Not only are you beautiful, but you also have a good temper, truly beautiful inside and out."

Yan Qianyi had just been publicly mistaken for a mistress and had been slapped, yet she remained calm.

If it had been anyone else, with a husband so protective, they might have become arrogant.

But she didn’t cry or make a scene.

Those who could afford to shop in their store, no matter who, had at least some family wealth and background and couldn’t stand such humiliation.

Yan Qianyi herself came from a wealthy family, yet showed no temper or airs at all.

The female clerk liked her more and more.

"Thank you."

Yan Qianyi was almost embarrassed by the clerk’s compliments.

She turned to Mu Yunlie, "Does it look good?"

As she turned, the black diamonds embellished on the dress sparkled under the lights, as though she had donned the Milky Way.

Mu Yanlie nodded slightly, "It looks good."

In his eyes, she looked good even in a sack.

"Then let’s go with this design, please take my measurements."

After Yan Qianyi finished speaking to the clerk, she prepared to enter the changing room to take off the dress.

However, Mu Yunlie suddenly exclaimed, "Wait a moment."

"What’s wrong?"

He stepped forward, looked at her back and chest, "Change the design, the front and back are too low."

The female clerk smiled, "Mr. Mu, your wife looks very good in this dress, and the V-neck design on the front and back is a special feature of it."

Mu Yunlie frowned and his voice deepened, "I said change it!"

The front revealed too much cleavage and the back too much skin, it was too revealing!

He wasn’t a feudal and conservative person, but her beauty, he did not permit others to ogle.

The clerk, frightened by Mu Yunlie’s outburst, looked at Yan Qianyi for guidance.

Yan Qianyi smiled helplessly and nodded, "Do as he says, raise it a few centimeters both front and back."

"Okay, once you change, I’ll take you upstairs to measure the size. You can personally communicate with our designer if there are specific areas you need to be altered."

After customizing the evening gown, Mu Yunlie wanted to take Yan Qianyi out to eat.

But Yan Qianyi said she wanted to eat at home.

She had detected from Madam Ning’s tone that Madam Ning knew her mother.

Aunt Xue might know some things about her mother’s younger days.

She wanted to rush back home to ask Aunt Xue.

After getting in the car, Mu Yunlie looked at her cheek.

The red marks on her fair skin had not faded, indicating how forceful Madam Ning had been.

He asked, "Does it really not hurt anymore?"

"It doesn’t hurt, it’ll be fine once I apply some medicine when we get back."

Mu Yunlie’s brow furrowed, "I should not have taken you out."

It was possible to have them provide services at home, and he usually didn’t like going out.

But last time she mentioned that they did not seem like a normal couple.

Normal couples would hold hands and stroll through the streets together, so he wanted to take her out for a walk.

"It’s really okay, don’t keep a straight face, smile a bit."

Yan Qianyi cupped Mu Yunlie’s face with her hands and vigorously rubbed it.

His handsome face was all distorted by her rubbing.

She also made a funny face at him, laughing at her own antics.

Mu Yunlie felt guilty but allowed her to play with his face.

After she had her fill of fun, he took her hand and said, "I will never let you suffer like today again."

"It’s all in the past, why are you still dwelling on it? I’ve already let it go."

"Why are you so good-tempered today?" Mu Yunlie was a bit surprised.

With her usual temperament, she would have hit back at the moment.

"Because I don’t want to make things difficult for you, considering the deep relationship between the Nangong family and the Ning family. Your grandfather already doesn’t like me, and if our clash with the Ning family escalated because of me, he would dislike me even more."

Mu Yunlie’s heart warmed, and he kissed her hand.

Yan Qianyi asked, "By the way, from the tone of Mrs. Ning, it seems she knew my mother, did you know about this?"
