Summer simply frowned and kept quiet.
Thinking I could be of some assistance, I asked instinctively, “What’s going on? What models? Aren’t the couples on stage actual ones that are going to get married soon?”
“Not all of them. The first few pairs are internet celebrity couples, but the rest are all just good-looking actors and models that we hired. Good-looking facial features can really bring surprising results,” Jared explained.
The concept was as simple as packaging one’s product nicely to make it seem more appealing, but the problem wasn’t an easy one to solve.
While everyone was gathered around and brainstorming for a solution, I had an idea all of a sudden. “Since they’re not real couples, we could just get two women with attractive faces to take their place!”
The staff who delivered the bad news earlier shrugged and shook his head as he said, “We have thought about that, but we couldn’t find anyone suitable. Most of us working in this field don’t really care much for appearances, you see. We can’t approach tourists for help either, so…”
So who do we go to for help? That is the question.
I frowned as I continued to rack my brain for a solution. That was when I noticed Emery through the corner of my eye and had another idea.
Her face and figure don’t look like a married woman’s, that’s for sure! Now, we’re still short of one person. I know John would never let his wife make a public appearance like that, so that makes me the only suitable candidate for this task!
With that in mind, I decided to go all out and proposed, “We do have suitable replacements. I think Emery and I can replace the two models. If Summer is okay with this suggestion, we’ll go with this plan and proceed with the preparations right away!”
I had thought that Summer would politely refuse my offer, and that Emery would require a lot of coaxing and persuading for her to agree to it.
However, things were quite the opposite.
“In that case, I’ll thank you in advance, Mommy!” Summer replied.
“Yeah, I had the same idea in mind. Come on, let’s go get our makeup done!”
The staff members burst into laughter. “This way, ladies!”
Just like that, I was being dragged backstage by the staff members while still confused as to where I went wrong.
The assistant was already calling for the seventieth couple by the time we entered the changing room, so we would be up in about ten minutes.
As the traditional wedding dress was very complicated in design, I couldn’t figure out how to wear it and had to ask the staff member for help. Eventually, I managed to put it on with the help of Emery and two female staff members.
I found myself shocked when I glanced at the mirror and could barely believe that was me in the reflection.
The stunning contrast of the vibrant red and green colors of the dress was something that all Chanaeans could relate to.
This reminds me of the white wedding gown I wore when I married Ashton back then. I could barely see his face through the bridal veil, and I even had a pair of white gloves on my hands when we exchanged our rings. However, that tiny ring that was supposed to symbolize our vows and bind us together didn’t seem to work, given all the obstacles we went through later on. This traditional wedding dress, on the other hand, gives off joyful and festive vibes with its dazzling colors. Who knows, maybe our marriage suffered so much because I didn’t wear this for my wedding? Maybe traditional wedding dresses had the ability to bless the couple with a happy marriage? Man, since when did a materialist like me start believing in such superstitions?
I couldn’t help but let out a chuckle at the thought of that.
“You look absolutely stunning, Scarlett!” Emery exclaimed in admiration as she stood next to me.
Women love being called beautiful, and I was no exception. As I flashed her a shy smile in response, I couldn’t help but notice a huge difference between our wedding dresses.
Emery’s wedding dress looks rather plain and simple, whereas mine looks really fancy and extravagant. And this phoenix coronet that I’m wearing feels kind of familiar… Oh, I remember! This is the most valuable item in the Hanfu flagship store from before!
