Qin Zhuoning opened the door and came in.

The large cloakroom is spacious and bright, and you can see a dazzling array of clothes, shoes, hats, and jewelry in layers of glass cabinets, making it dizzying.

There are currently four service staff carefully selecting and matching dresses for Pei Jiao to wear for today's engagement.

Pei Jiao was sitting on the sofa, leaning forward slightly, stretching out her hands and absentmindedly fiddling with the bouquet of delicate red roses in front of her, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

"Ms. Pei, what do you think of this suit? It's a Chinese-style cheongsam with Suzhou embroidery pattern. The buckles are lower and won't hurt the neck. It's mainly comfortable."

Pei Jiao glanced at it and shook his head: "I don't like the style."

Pei Jiao took one look at the last very beautiful Chinese-style cheongsam and said he didn't like it. But the reason was not the style, but the annoying high-button collar, which was a burden to wear for more than a few minutes.

This Chinese-style cheongsam does not have a high collar, and the style is 90% similar to the previous cheongsam, but the reason why Pei Jiao doesn't like it this time is because of the style.

Isn't this obvious enough?

I just don't want to wear it.

The service staff was heartbroken.

"Then I'll go and re-match two sets." The service staff thoughtfully poured Pei Jiao a cup of coffee.

After pouring the coffee, he stood up and saw the man coming in. The service staff was about to remind Pei Jiao. Qin Zhuoning waved his hand and the service staff left silently.

Pei Jiao took back his hand, stretched out, and his curly hair, which had been curled in advance, fell down. Two strands hung down on both sides of his forehead, making him look lazy and beautiful.

After choosing nearly a dozen sets, she was already tired of choosing and wanted to lie down on the sofa and take a nap, but her mind was repeatedly tugged on by the engagement she was going to have today.

She was irritated, and someone sat down next to her.

She was stunned at first, then quickly sat up straight, and the others became more energetic: "Brother Zhuoning, why are you here?"

"Of course I'm here to pick you up."

Qin Zhuoning is wearing a white suit with a peaked lapel collar. Her figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist fits the suit perfectly, making it very formal.

Pei Jiao has always known that Qin Zhuoning is handsome, but today Qin Zhuoning seems to be handsome to a new level.

Qin Zhuoning didn't mind Pei Jiao's unbridled gaze at him at all, and asked her, "How do I look today?"

Pei Jiao responded affirmatively: "Very handsome!"

Qin Zhuoning raised his eyebrows: "The evaluation is very high."

Pei Jiao replied to him: "It's not like you are so handsome just today. It's just that I rarely see you wearing a white suit. It's rare to see you on our engagement day."

"If you think I look good in a white suit, I will wear it more often in the future," Qin Zhuoning said.

Pei Jiao smiled: "Don't wear a white suit every day just because I say it looks good. You should please me, not others."

After saying that, she picked up the cup of coffee in front of her and took a sip.

Qin Zhuo looked at her quietly for a moment, then raised his hand to look at his watch and reminded her in a warm voice: "It's half past nine, bright and clear."

Pei Jiao put down the coffee: "Is it someone from the hotel urging you?"

Today is the day when the two get engaged. The entire Shengshi Hotel is bustling with activity. The principals of the Pei family and the principals of the Qin family are already gathering guests at the hotel.

Qin Zhuoning had already arrived at the hotel. When he learned that Pei Jiao was still choosing a dress, he rushed over. He replied to Pei Jiao: "The guests are halfway here, but it's time for us to pass."

"Half, there are so many people here..." Pei Jiao was still a little distracted. She stood up and said, "Then I will put on my dress as soon as possible and go with you."

Qin Zhuoning also stood up: "Would you like me to help you as a reference?"

"Okay." Pei Jiao agreed happily: "It is difficult to select patients with severe diseases. We really need your help at this time."

"I remember you didn't have difficulty choosing before..." After a pause, Qin Zhuoning quickly changed the topic: "Do you want to wear a long skirt or a short skirt today? I will give you a suggestion based on the length."

Pei Jiao knew that Qin Zhuoning immediately ended the topic of difficulty in choosing, which was the right thing for him to do.

She also didn't want to embarrass Qin Zhuoning. What was the point of delaying the engagement like this?

She said to Qin Zhuoning: "Long skirt! I prefer long skirts."

Qin Zhuoning nodded: "Okay, let me take a look for you."

Pei Jiao thought that Qin Zhuoning's aesthetics was probably the same as that of most men. Long skirts were mainly white and aesthetic, and they looked the best with a fairy-like air.

But she didn't expect that Qin Zhuoning would choose a light lake green feather dress for her, with a small V-neck back, a tube top design, and a floor-length skirt, which made Pei Jiao's eyes light up.

When the service staff initially helped Pei Jiao with the outfit, they considered that Pei Jiao might not want to choose a slightly bright and exaggerated style, so they did not take out the feather skirt.

Now after seeing the surprise in Pei Jiao's eyes, the service staff regretted that they should not have thought so much.

Qin Zhuoning also took in Pei Jiao's stunning eyes, and a smile spread across his lips: "It seems you like it very much."

"At least I like it at first sight." Pei Jiao stepped forward: "I'll try it first."

Qin Zhuoning motioned to the service staff: "Help her put it on."

With a 'swish' sound, the champagne-colored curtain was pulled up, isolating Pei Jiao and the two service staff who helped her change into her dress at the back.

While waiting, Qin Zhuoning received a call from the hotel. After picking up the call, the person on the phone said: "Mr. Qin, that person has come to the hotel."

Qin Zhuoning's eyes darkened: "No matter what, we must stop him."

The person on the phone said: "We haven't taken action yet, Mr. Pei's men have already stopped him."

Qin Zhuoning's voice was calm and steady: "If he dares to break in, don't worry."

The person on the phone responded: "Understood."

The phone was hung up and the sound of curtains opening behind him was heard. Qin Zhuoning turned around upon hearing the sound and his eyes fell on Pei Jiao who had put on a feather skirt. Even though he was so amazed that he could not look away for a long time.

"Looking at your expression, I guess this feather skirt will look good on me?" Pei Jiao came over with the skirt in hand.

Qin Zhuoning was a little lost. There were thousands of words in his heart, but in the end he only condensed into two words: "It's beautiful."

Pei Jiao looked in the mirror: "The effect is better than I expected. It must be because of your good taste."

Qin Zhuo walked slowly behind Pei Jiao, looked at her in the mirror and murmured in a low voice: "Jiao Jiao, you have really grown up."

Pei Jiaoyang smiled: "Please, I'm almost twenty-three years old, okay."

After the words fell, Qin Zhuoning couldn't help but hold her hand: "It's worth dying to have a grand engagement with you in your best years."

Pei Jiao's expression changed when he heard him mention the word 'death': "Brother Zhuo Ning, you must avoid prophecies when speaking. Don't mention these unlucky words on such an auspicious day."

After saying that, she naturally took her hand out of Qin Zhuoning's hand: "Let's go to the hotel to hold our engagement."

Qin Zhuoning stared at Pei Jiao's back, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly asked her: "If today is not a fake engagement, but we are really engaged, Jiao Jiao, will you still go?"

Pei Jiao's feet stopped.

She turned sideways, slowly turned her head to look at Qin Zhuoning, and smiled slightly: "Go."

A glimmer of hope rose in Qin Zhuoning's eyes: "Are you also..."

Pei Jiao said, "Didn't we agree on the fake engagement from the beginning? So there will be no such thing as if." After I liked not being a substitute, my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law variety show went viral. Please save it: (https://www.bajiewx.com) Not Being a Substitute
