If The Moon Won’t Hold You

Chapter 51.2: Stars

A few minutes later, Cen Ning stepped out of the fitting room.

“Damn it! Buy it!” Zhang Ziyi waved her hand excitedly, “Ningning, it looks so good!”

Cen Ning looked at herself in the mirror, and tugged at her skirt uncomfortably: “I think… let’s forget it.”

“No! This is really good!” Zhang Ziyi persuaded, “If you wear this dress, you will be the most gorgeous one there, trust me.”

Cen Ning gave Zhang Ziyi a funny glance, “I didn’t want to be the most gorgeous one though.”

“Can you be clever? Let me tell you, there will be so many girls there that day, I won’t let you lose to them!ā€

Cen Ning: “…”

“Anyways, you must not lose to Meng Peiyan.”

[Ziyi said this dress is pretty, but I think it isnā€™t appropriate for the situation. Do you think this dress can be worn at grandpa’s birthday party?] The serious tone of the message showed that Cen Ning was really distressed about the matter.

Yan Xingzhi opened the photo. Just when he was about to take a closer look at the photo, his colleague came over and urged him: “Brother Yan, why are you in a daze, let’s go.”

Yan Xingzhi was in a hurry to gather the whole team at this time, so he could only quickly reply: [Buy it first] After sending this message, he added: [Come to the apartment at night. ] Finally, he turned off the phone and placed it in the cabinet.

On the other side, Zhang Ziyi looked at her dress with satisfaction: “Okay, I’ll take this one.”

Cen Ning raised her eyes from the chat with Yan Xingzhi: “Well, then let’s go.”

Today was the weekend, Cen Ning was originally going to go back to the Yan house after shopping with Zhang Ziyi. After Yan Xingzhi told her otherwise she took a taxi to the apartment.

Yan Xingzhi had given her the key to the apartment before, so Cen Ning could open the door and directly go in.

Yan Xingzhi would probably come back later in the evening, so Cen Ning took a shower after eating some takeaway, and sat in the living room watching dramas.

It was only when she had gotten bored of the drama that there was a sound of the unlocking door.

After hearing the signature beeping sound, Cen Ning immediately sat upright on the sofa and put away her feet that were carelessly placed.

After stepping through the door, Yan Xingzhi saw Cen Ning in pajamas watching TV: “You already came home?”

“Yeah, it’s been a long time since I came back.”

Yan Xingzhi took off his jacket, revealing a shirt with a stand-up collar and black pants underneath. He casually hung the clothes on the clothing rack, put on some slippers and walked towards her.

“I thought you would play outside longer with Zhang Ziyi.”

“Weā€™ve been playing for a long time, I’m tired.” Cen Ning sat upright, but she unconsciously glanced at his legs.

Everyone all had the same body structure, but how come some people had such long legs?

Yan Xingzhi didn’t notice her fixated gaze, he sat down on the sofa and asked, “Did you guys go shopping for clothes?”

Cen Ning came back to her senses, and hurriedly replied, “We also went out to eat and watched a movie!”

“Well, what about the dress?”

“The dress that was photographed for you?” Cen Ning got up and went to the room, “Wait, I’ll show it to you right now.”

Yan Xingzhi didn’t know much about clothing for girls, and he only glanced at the dress when Cen Ning sent it to him.

He didn’t know that there was an open back of this seemingly simple dress. When he saw Cen Ning picking up the clothes and showing them in front of him, the corners of his brows twitched slightly, and he asked in disbelief, “Did Zhang Ziyi choose this for you?”

“Mhm.” Cen Ning said a little nervously, “Does it look good?”

Yan Xingzhi raised his eyes, and took a deep look at her: “It’s not enough to judge properly.”

“What?”

“Put it on to see.”

Cen Ning froze for a moment: “Now?”

Yan Xingzhi nodded, he looked quite serious: “Yes.”

Cen Ning was a little embarrassed at first. However, these clothes were meant to be worn out, so upon thinking about it, there seemed to be no reason for embarrassment.

After entering the room, Cen Ning changed her clothes. Since her hair had just been washed, Cen Ning simply tied it into a bun to save it from being too messy.

After changing, she opened the door and walked out.

Just after Yan Xingzhi finished drinking some water, he saw a figure walking out from the corner of his eye. He glanced over and his eyes were completely fixated on her.
