Chapter 556: Almost Zero Distance

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

The atmosphere of Valentine’s Day filled the entire world. Even with a casual look, Murong Qiao’s gaze was attracted by all kinds of ambiguous slogans. The music from the mall was playing in her ears. She let Huo Yichen hold her hand and walk around the mall.

The two of them walked casually, and Murong Qiao sized up the surroundings. From time to time, she would take a bite of the ice cream she had just bought from the milk tea shop.

The ice cream was the taste of Matcha that she liked very much. She didn’t feel the bitter fragrance as it’d fused with the smooth texture of the ice cream. Then, under the effect of the tip of her tongue, it melted and bloomed in her mouth, completely expressing the joy of Matcha lovers.

After seeing the name of Silence’s brand, Murong Qiao’s gaze lingered for a while.

After all, it was a brand that was going to cooperate with them next. Murong Qiao couldn’t help but pay more attention, but her gaze was noticed by Huo Yichen.

“Shall we go take a look?” Huo Yichen asked.

It was a question, but when he saw Murong Qjao looking straight over, Huo Yichen thought that she had a dress style she liked, so he simply pulled her to the shop to take a closer look.

Before Murong Qiao could react and speak, she had no choice but to follow Huo Yichen in.

“h.e.l.lo, is there anything I can help you with?” The shop a.s.sistant walked over enthusiastically.

From the couple earrings and rings worn by Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen, it was not difficult to tell that these two were lovers.

The shop a.s.sistant secretly evaluated their temperament and clothes. She felt that she must have met a big client, so the smile on her face became more sincere.

Murong Qiao shook her head politely. “No need. We’ll take a look by ourselves.” Like most people, Murong Qiao didn’t like to be accompanied by a shop a.s.sistant when shopping or choosing clothes.

When the shop a.s.sistant saw this, she couldn’t help but feel a little regretful, but she still considerately gave the couple enough s.p.a.ce.

However, before the shop a.s.sistant left, she added, “The area at the end of the left-hand side is where our Valentine’s Day couple outfits are. If the two of you are interested, you can take a look. I’ll be at the counter. Call me if you need anything.”

Previously, she had also said that Silence had been expanding into the domestic market recently, so Murong Qiao took a quick look and saw many new designs.

Since she was already here, Murong Qiao decided to take a serious look.

She usually didn’t buy much clothes herself. Most of her clothes were designed by her Fourth Brother. It was rare for her to come out. In addition, it was related to An Nuo’s future endors.e.m.e.nt, so Murong Qiao looked very seriously. Perhaps because she usually didn’t pay much attention to clothes, Murong Qiao’s taste was very similar to Yan Xiu’s. She didn’t like overly bright styles. One of the especially beautiful off-shoulder evening gowns attracted Murong Qiao’s attention.

TO put it in more detail, it should be the kind of dress that was half banquet and half casual. The off-the-shoulder design stretched one’s body extremely beautifully. Even if it was just a mannequin, Murong Qiao couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Huo Yichen stood beside her. “Try whatever you like. You can try something different from time to time.”

“After all, you’re in charge today.” He smiled and helped Murong Qiao take off her coat and handed them to her.

The overly indulgent tone in his voice made Murong Qiao blush. She subconsciously glanced in the direction the shop a.s.sistant had just left and felt a little embarra.s.sed, but then her happiness covered this strange feeling. ‘Then—I’ll try them on?” Murong Qiao glanced at the clothes in her hand.

She had to admit that Huo Yichen was very meticulous. The one he handed over was the one Murong Qiao had been looking at the longest just now. When he handed it over, he even very considerately placed the matching items in Murong Qiao’s hand.

Huo Yichen nodded naturally. “Just go. I’ll wait for you outside.” Beside the two of them was a matching fitting room. Murong Qiao was already a little tempted, and with Huo Yichen’s encouragement, she walked towards the fitting room.

However, when she arrived at the fitting room, Murong Qiao realized that the clothes she had taken to try on seemed to be a little loose. She felt a little awkward when he wore them.

Helpless, she could only carefully poke her head out from behind the curtain to look for Huo Yichen.

“What’s wrong?” Almost as soon as Murong Qiao’s head appeared, Huo Yichen sensed her gaze and looked up.

Huo Yichen’s broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs attracted a lot of attention just by sitting on the bench.

Murong Qiong was in a daze for a moment before she remembered her matter.

This is too big. Ah Chen… can you help me get a new one?”

Huo Yichen immediately stood up.

Murong Qiao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this and wanted to take off her clothes first.

However, the moment the zipper on his back was pulled down unprepared Murong Qiao suddenly felt a strand of hair being pulled down with him. She hissed in pain and hurriedly stopped pulling the zipper.

“Qiaoqiao?” Huo Yichen’s worried voice came from outside.

As soon as he returned, he heard Murong Qiao’s painful cry. He frowned and stood outside, not knowing if he should enter.

“I—” Murong Qiao touched the zipper on her back and blushed.

Even with the help of the mirror, she couldn’t see the hair and zipper behind her back clearly. She couldn’t just pull her hair off…

But the only person who she could ask for help-

Murong Qiao glanced at the curtain and wanted to speak, but she was a little ashamed.

In the end, after a few internal struggles, she chose to speak to Huo Yichen.

“…Come in for a while.”

A weak voice came from behind the curtain. If Huo Yichen wasn’t focused, he probably wouldn’t have heard it.

He frowned and stood in front of the curtain. After hesitating for a long time, he stretched out his hand. The moment he opened the gap in the curtain, he let himself in and didn’t let outsiders see the scene inside.

The fitting room was s.p.a.cious enough to accommodate two people but the gown took up more than half of the s.p.a.ce. As soon as Huo Yichen entered, he saw Murong Qiao’s back facing him, revealing her fair and beautiful back.’

Her fair skin, which looked a little transparent under the light, looked especially good. It was half covered by her long hair, but one could see the beautiful lines from her neck all the way to her waist before disappearing along the gown.

With just a glance, the slightly erotic scene was deeply engraved in Huo Yichen s mind and couldn’t be erased.

“The zipper seems to have caught my hair…” Murong Qiao was embarra.s.sed by his gaze, but she had no choice but to bite the bullet and tell him the situation.

She held her slightly loose clothes in discomfort to prevent her hair from hurting even more when the entire dress slid down. It was also to prevent her from revealing her naked body.

Huo Yichen came back to his senses when he heard Murong Qiao’s words. “I… I’ll help you.”

He lowered his voice. When he came back to his senses, he restrained himself and tiptoed to Murong Qiao’s side. With a force so gentle that Murong Qiao almost didn’t feel it, he brushed away the other strands of hair and picked them out to observe.

However, the rapidly closing distance made Murong Qiao subconsciously look at the mirror in front of her.

In the floor-to-ceiling mirror, she and Huo Yichen looked like they were stuck together in an extremely intimate position. The other party buried his head in her neck and his hands fell to her waist…

Murong Qiao couldn’t help but think too much. However, in the next second, she felt a slight shudder from Huo Yichen’s hot breath on her back.

This was too close…
