Quick Transmigration: I Was Cannon Fodder But Became the White Moonlight
Chapter 78: Conquering the Arrogant Young Master of a Wealthy Family
The process of trying on dresses is long and dazzling.
In the tall and luxurious walk-in closet, the lighting was soft and bright, and the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror reflected countless images of Chen Su.
Accompanied by professionals, she tried on one dress after another.
The silver-white fishtail skirt, studded with tiny rhinestones, shimmered and sparkled as she walked.
The champagne-colored, fluffy feather dress made her skin look as white as snow, light and dreamy.
A navy blue satin maxi dress with a high slit, exuding a cool and sexy vibe; with each sway of her steps, the lines of her legs are subtly revealed...
Chen Su has an excellent figure, with beautiful shoulder and neck lines and delicate and distinct collarbones. Coupled with her gorgeous face, almost every dress she wears can be interpreted with a unique charm.
Lu Yu sat on the velvet sofa to the side the whole time, his long legs crossed, in a relaxed posture, with several brand catalogs in front of him, but he didn't look at them much.
My gaze remained fixed on the direction of the fitting room.
Whenever Chen Su changed into a new dress, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked out in front of him, either twirling or standing still, asking for his opinion, he would always nod slightly, his eyes deep, and give a brief evaluation.
"nice."
"This one looks good too."
"good."
As if his vocabulary was lacking, or as if in his eyes, she was impeccable no matter what she wore.
The focus is never on the clothes, but on the person wearing them.
Ultimately, with the advice of the designer and dress consultant, and combined with Chen Su's own preferences, they selected a light-colored, gilded fishtail gown with delicate sequins.
The dress is made of top-quality silk fabric, cool to the touch, smooth and draping, and shimmers with starlight-like glitter under the light. It is neither overly ostentatious nor lacking in elegance, perfectly balancing Chen Su's radiance and grace.
In contrast, Lu Yuze's suit selection process was much faster. A perfectly tailored, exquisitely made dark gray suit complemented his cool and composed temperament.
The following period involved tedious measurements, recording, and communicating to modify details.
The shop assistant, with a measuring tape and a notebook, carefully measured every detail of Chen Su's body, noting down the areas that needed waist reduction, bust enhancement, and skirt shortening.
She also paired the chosen dress with appropriate high heels and jewelry.
Everything is proceeding smoothly, ensuring a flawless engagement party next month.

By the time everything was over, it was already evening.
The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky a warm orange-red.
Both of them were a little tired when they got into the car.
Chen Su was so exhausted she barely wanted to speak. Trying on dresses looked beautiful, but it was actually physically demanding. By the end of the day, her back and legs ached.
She almost immediately kicked off her shoes, lay down on the back seat without any regard for her image, rested her head naturally on Lu Yuze's lap, closed her eyes, and almost fell asleep immediately.
Lu Yu looked down at the fluffy head on his lap, reached out, and gently pinched her cheek.
"Ugh... Stop it..." Chen Su wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction, but didn't open her eyes. She just snuggled deeper into his arms, finding a more comfortable position.
The car drove smoothly toward the Chen family villa.
When we arrived, it was already completely dark, but the villa was brightly lit.
Chen Su was groggily woken up by Lu Yuze. She rubbed her eyes, sat up, and slowly put on her shoes.
Just as she was about to push open the door and get out of the car, Lu Yuze got out of the car first, walked around to her side, opened the car door for her, and then put his arm around her shoulder.
"I'll take you inside."
Chen Su did not refuse, and leaned against him, enjoying this moment of tenderness.
The two walked side by side into the villa gate.

Pushing open the heavy door, warm yellow light and the familiar scent of home greet you.
However, unlike the usual tranquil and warm atmosphere, an indescribable tense and oppressive stagnation permeated the air as if it were a tangible presence.
Chen Su stopped in her tracks at the entrance.
Her gaze swept across most of the spacious living room and landed directly on the sofa.
Su Wan sat there, but her demeanor was completely different from her usual elegant and dignified one.
She was almost kneeling on the carpet in front of the sofa, tightly hugging someone, her shoulders trembling violently, and broken sobs coming from between her legs, as she murmured repeatedly, "My child... my child... Mom is so sorry..."
The person she was holding tightly was stiff, his hands hanging awkwardly in mid-air, his face filled with embarrassment, confusion, and undisguised panic.
It is Lin Zhixia.
Seemingly hearing the noise at the door, she subconsciously turned her head.
Her gaze met that of Chen Su, who was standing in the entryway, being embraced by Lu Yuze.
Eyes facing each other.
The air seemed to freeze completely at that moment.
The calm and languid look on Chen Su's face vanished instantly, replaced by a complex expression that was just right, a mixture of surprise, confusion, and a hint of understanding.
She looked at Lin Zhixia, then at her mother who was tightly hugging Lin Zhixia and crying, and her lips moved:
"Ms. Kobayashi? Mom?"
The sound was very soft, yet like a pebble thrown into a still lake, it broke the almost frozen atmosphere of sadness in the living room.
On the other side of the sofa, Chen Zonghan was also sitting there.
He held several folded pieces of paper in his hand, his eyes were clearly red, as if he had been crying and was trying his best to hold back, his jawline was taut.
He raised his head and looked at his daughter and Lu Yuze at the door, his expression more somber and weary than ever before.
He put down the papers in his hand, waved to Chen Su, his voice hoarse, with a deliberately steady tone, yet unable to conceal the trembling beneath:
"Susu, come here. Yuze, come over too. We... have something we need to tell you."
Lu Yu tightened his grip on Chen Su's shoulder for a moment, then relaxed it.
His expression was calm, his eyes deep. His gaze swept over the two people embracing on the sofa, and over the few sheets of white paper on the coffee table. He couldn't reveal much emotion. He simply led Chen Su step by step toward the center of the living room.
Su Wan also heard her husband's words. She finally loosened her grip on Lin Zhixia's arms and slowly turned around.
Her eyes were swollen and red, her face was streaked with tears, and her makeup was ruined. She looked disheveled and vulnerable.
Her gaze first fell on Lin Zhixia, filled with indescribable guilt and pain, before turning to Chen Su and Lu Yuze.
"Su Su... Yu Ze is back." Her voice choked with emotion, thick with nasal tone.
Chen Zonghan took a deep breath, as if to gather all his strength.
He looked at Chen Su, who stood in front of him with a puzzled expression, and then at Lin Zhixia, who looked helpless, and his chest heaved violently a few times.
Finally, he spoke with utmost solemnity, word by word:
"Susu, we just confirmed something. Daddy told you... you have a sister now..."
