57. Interesting

RuQian huffed quietly hating to have to shop here, hopefully they could finish quickly and get the hell outta the store.

Those hopeful thoughts were squashed with Lan Xie's next line, "I wanna live here forever. Look at how beautiful everything is."

After passing through the lounge they had entered the front of the store, where shoes were displayed. The walls were a dark grey colour, in the center of the room was a huge vase; taller than Lan Xie and held a beautiful combination of roses and lavenders.

On both sides of the room were racks fixed to the walls; that covered the entire height of the wall; filled with different kinds of shoes, not just party wear, casual wear too.

The woman led them into the next room where the walls were painted sky blue, there were endless number of clothes in the whole room and these were only casual wear.

The next room was partitioned into four sections, on either side of the room, each section from the start held different dresses and it was clear that the most priced dresses were placed in the last section.

The woman took them to the last section and told them to choose whichever one they wished. Amy was too dumbstruck to speak and it looked like the cat got her tongue.

Lan Xie started glancing around looking at all the dresses to see if she liked anything but held a dejected expression after a little while.

RuQian could understand why Lan Xie felt sad, the clothes here were really beautiful but with Lan Xie's personality, her body type and mainly her hair colour, they did not match.

Lan Xie worked with style, fashion and clothing, so she knew very well what kind of clothing would suit her the best.

RuQian pulled Lan Xie to the third section where she had seen a perfect dress for her friend when passing through.

"What do you think about this?" RuQian pointed to the dress. Lan Xie's eyes lit up when she saw what RuQian had pointed at.

She hugged RuQian with evident glee, "Qian Qian, it looks amazing. You know me the best. Excuse me, I would like to try this on."

Lan Xie jumped up and down excitedly, cheering RuQian on. RuQian just smiled and shook her head at Lan Xie's childishness.

Lan Xie went to try on her dress. Meanwhile RuQian looked at Amy and saw her standing with her head lowered as if she was scared to even look at those expensive dresses.

RuQian took Amy's hand and pulled her to the opposite side of the room and called the woman over, "Can you please take my friend to try on this dress?" She pointed at another dress.

Amy how much ever shy she felt went with the woman to try on the dress RuQian had asked her to.

RuQian wandered about looking for any dress that could catch her eye. She looked around in all the sections in the room but could not find anything eye catching.

She sighed to herself and tilted her head to the side, maybe she would have to find another store for herself. None of the displayed dresses felt right.

RuQian knew these sort of high end stores would have the best dresses in the back alas only with exclusive membership would they be allowed to see them.

She could check those out and see if she found any dress to her taste.

Once the sales assistant came out she would ask her to show her the dresses in the back, maybe she could find something over there.

While she was musing over this, she heard footsteps coming her way, she lifted her head to see Lan Xie.

RuQian beamed at her friend who looked gorgeous. The dress was a cobalt blue color, which was tight fitted till the waist, the skirt flared out and reached till Lan Xie's knees. It was also of the right height, not too short and not too long.

The top part of the dress till the waist was laced. The skirt part of the dress had no special design but there were streaks across the skirt in a lighter blue shade which made it look like ocean waves.

For a bubbly, childish natured girl as Lan Xie, this dress suited her the best. If she were to wear a full length dress, she would look mature but she would look dull.

This dress brought out Lan Xie's best features and if she were to style her hair, wear accessories and the right shoes, she would look wonderful.

Lan Xie gave a twirl when she was in front of RuQian. "Qian Qian, how do I look?"

RuQian clapped her hands with enthusiasm, "You look gorgeous Lan Xie. See I told you this was the dress for you." RuQian was happy looking at her friend.

"I know Qian Qian. I love it. I feel like I've never looked this beautiful before."

"Now now Lan Xie do not say that. Don't put yourself down in any manner."

"Alright I won't. But Qian Qian I love this dress. Your choice is of course the best." Lan Xie came up and kissed RuQian on the cheek.

RuQian hugged Lan Xie slightly and immediately stepped back. Lan Xie started laughing hard, she knew RuQian did not like being touchy feely but she still hugged her from time to time.

"Oh? Qian Qian where is Amy?" Lan Xie looked around the room, not finding Amy.

"She went to try on a dress."

Just then they heard two sets of footsteps.

"Woah!" Lan Xie was stunned to see her friend.

Amy walked out in an emerald green tea length dress. The dress was filled with flowers, flower buds, branches and leaves woven with black that contained small white stones in the black flowers. Instead of straps, the neck area to the upper chest was laced.

"Amy, you look stunning." RuQian smiled.

Lan Xie jumped up to Amy, "Wow Amy, you look so pretty."

Amy thanked them both then turned to RuQian and frowned, "Qian Qian didn't you pick out a dress?"

That's when Lan Xie too noticed that RuQian did not try on any dress. "Qian Qian, you didn't like anything?"

"Hmm. Can I see the private collection?" She asked the woman.

The woman was slightly flustered at being mentioned about the private collection but gave a small smile.

"Let me make a call, miss." She turned towards the entrance, most probably to ask for permission.

Lan Xie and Amy turned towards each other and Lan Xie glanced at RuQian.

"Qian Qian, you know they don't easily show the private collection, right?"

"I know Lan Xie but wasn't it your cousin who booked the appointment for us. Mu Chen's name holds a very high value in our country. Seeing as I got the chance to cash in on the favor, why not use it to full extent."

RuQian shrugged smiling. A certain grey eyed man, sitting behind the laptop, watching the footage smirked. 'Interesting!'
