It was only after hearing that he liked purple that she seemed to have changed her mind about the purple gown.
'Is… She trying to distance herself from me?'
The thought flashed through Gu Lichen's mind, but it made him feel uncomfortable.
...
Each of the fitting rooms here was separate.
Gu Lichen and Hua Lifang were led by the staff to one of the VIP dressing rooms.
When Hua Lifang appeared in front of Gu Lichen wearing the same gown that Ling Yiran had just worn, Gu Lichen only glanced at her and said, "Not bad."
Hua Lifang also knew that she would not look as good in this gown as Ling Yiran.
Especially when she wore it after Ling Yiran had worn it. It just seemed like a crude imitation, but she could not even get another gown.
"Lichen, do you think I shouldn't have fought with Yiran over a gown?" Hua Lifang looked aggrieved. "I... I just wanted to wear a purple dress and make you happy because I remember you telling me when you were little that you like the color purple."
After a pause, Hua Lifang continued saying, "My marriage didn’t go well all these years. I couldn’t stop thinking about our childhood, thinking about how you said you would come to find me, thinking that maybe there was someone out there who could save me from that upsetting marriage... And here you are!"
Hua Lifang became more and more agitated as she spoke, reaching out to grab Gu Lichen's arm.
Gu Lichen looked down at the person in front of him and gently pulled his arm away. "Lifang, I'm nice to you because you saved my life, so if you need anything or want anything, I'll do it for you if I can… But that's all."
Hua Lifang's body stiffened, and her face paled slightly.
