Xi Er looked at Debbie and thought that in general, such situations were related to someone she liked. A woman dresses up for the one she loves, so this girl must have someone she likes.
That must be it. This girl must be in love, otherwise why would she become such a quiet bride!
Xi Er felt that even if Debbie wore a wedding dress, it should be a tight-fitting one with a slit, so that she could jump and run around, or even fight.
Xi Er asked Debbie about this, and Debbie's answer left her speechless. At the same time, she was praying that nothing unexpected would happen.
At the time, Debbie said this—
"What does it matter? If anything happens, just tear the skirt. This dress is more convenient than the others."
"..."
At that moment, Xi Er felt a cold sweat break out, and all she could do was pray!
"Debbie, what are you looking at?" Xi Er noticed that Debbie had been looking downstairs for a while when she arrived, glancing around here and there.
All one hundred brides were on a high platform, as always. Below the platform was a square packed with people. It would be very difficult to find a single person in such a crowded square.
Of course, at first Xi Er also thought that Debbie wasn't looking for anyone, but was just looking up. But then, Debbie looked up a few more times, although not very frequently, which made Xi Er think that Debbie was looking for someone.
However, Xi Er doesn't think Debbie is looking for anyone important, at least not her sweetheart. This is because, as mentioned above, Debbie doesn't look at the photos very often; she probably only looks at them when she remembers them, rather than showing any genuine concern.
If it's someone you love, then you should care about them, not just glance at them casually!
"I wonder if he's gone?" Debbie answered absentmindedly at this moment, probably not even knowing who had asked her.
"Him? Who is he?" Xi Er asked with a smile.
"Hey sis, why are you laughing like that? It looks awful." Debbie turned around, seemingly unaware of what she had just said, only noticing Xi Er's strange smile.
"..." Xi Er remained silent. Her smile just now was a bit ambiguous, but not ugly.
No, it's not ugly at all, it's absolutely gorgeous!!
Those who were watching Xi Er below, if they knew the answer to Xi Er's question, would definitely shake their heads frantically. They thought Xi Er's smile was too beautiful, so beautiful that it took their breath away.
Since Xi Er didn't have many opportunities to appear with them, and she smiled even less, it's natural that this would have such an effect.
"You just said he left, and I'm asking you, who is he?" Xi Er continued to ask, knowing that Debbie hadn't listened to what she had said before.
"He's Ye Lang. He said he was leaving before, but I mentioned this event, and it seems he's interested. I wonder if he'll come," Debbie replied directly.
"So it was him..." Xi Er understood, but didn't continue, because she didn't know how to continue.
She felt confused about Ye Lang. She thought he would ask her to fulfill their marriage agreement, but he didn't even look at her and gave up directly.
Furthermore, he then gave up those three conditions, which surprised her and made her feel somewhat unhappy. She was unhappy that Ye Lang had given up on her so easily, and she secretly wondered to herself if she was really that bad that others wouldn't even bother to look at her.
Of course, this was merely a feeling of extreme disappointment, and it wouldn't affect her actions or her feelings. She wouldn't insist on proving her worth or chasing after Ye Lang to be with her and discover his merits because of such a small amount of dissatisfaction.
This is incredibly stupid and utterly ridiculous for her!
"If he wants to leave, let him leave. What's wrong? Are you reluctant to see him go? Or do you have a crush on him?" Xi Er looked at Debbie and teased her a little.
"What?! Who Debbie taken a liking to?"
A girl standing nearby, looking quite gossipy, leaned over. She was also dressed in a wedding gown, and she seemed to be one of the girls who had tried to trick Ye Lang before, and apparently the one who had come up with the idea.
If Ye Lang were here, he would definitely notice that these girls were all among the brides. They all seemed to have high status and beautiful appearances, and were chosen to be the hundred brides.
"Do you remember that commoner boy from a few days ago?" Xi Er asked with a smile.
"What? Oh, that kid? I remember him. If I run into him again, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!" The girl said through gritted teeth, seemingly harboring some hatred for Ye Lang, but only a little.
"It was him. We met him again later. It turns out that his senior had some old acquaintance with my grandfather, and we were old friends." Xi Er said casually, glossing over the things that were not suitable to talk about, only mentioning that they were old friends.
"So he's a family friend of yours. Then why is he acting like that... Did he come to you to curry favor with you?" the girl asked. In her mind, there were many people like that, and Ye Lang was very likely one of them.
At this moment, it wasn't just this girl who thought this way; the other girls around her, including the other three beauties of the empire, all felt that this was the case.
"No, he didn't. Not only did he not try to climb the social ladder, he even looked down on us... He didn't even think much of Sister Xi Er ..." Debbie suddenly interjected at this moment.
"What?!"
All the brides watching were stunned by Debbie's words. They were somewhat surprised, or rather, shocked.
If they were somewhat surprised when they heard that Ye Lang didn't try to curry favor with them, and a little astonished that he looked down on the Hader Family, then they were truly shocked that he even looked down on Xi Er, one of the Four Great Beauties of the empire.
They never imagined that a man could resist Xi Er's charm and not even be interested in her, which made those of them who were somewhat jealous of Xi Er feel quite ashamed.
"Is he faking it...?" the girl from before thought for a moment and said, feeling that this explanation was more acceptable.
The others nodded in agreement, all thinking that Ye Lang was just pretending to look down on Xi Er!
Thinking of this, they not only felt a little contempt for Ye Lang, but also took the opportunity to despise the man who had acted pretentious in front of them before.
"He wasn't pretending. He was planning to leave anyway, and he had no intention of staying here and pretending with us," Debbie said at this moment.
