Fog Returns to the Capital

Chapter 72 Fantasy
……

That was the year Li Wu was at her most popular, and also the year she was most successful in the industry.

That year, all the top resources in the industry were geared towards her. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that all actors and stars had to make way for her.

Simultaneously.

The three dramas she starred in have also been nominated for three major national awards in China.

This year's awards ceremony was once again held in H City.

Li Wu was invited to participate.

……

I learned that Li Wu was going to attend an awards ceremony.

The housekeeper had prepared a formal dress for Li Wu to wear that evening well in advance.

They are all haute couture from the world's top luxury brands.

More than ten dazzling and gorgeous haute couture gowns were displayed in the dressing room.

Li Wu was dazzled by what she saw.

Li Wu originally meant that it was fine to wear either one.

But her agent, Sister Xin, said, "Baby, why don't you go out for a walk and see if you can come back? Are you filming every day, so you don't know anything about your popularity?"

The most popular actress in the industry right now.

—Without exception.

And it's the kind of popularity that's off the charts.

Li Wu roughly knew, but it didn't seem as exaggerated as Sister Xin had described.

However, she does need to be fully armed and have bodyguards when she goes out now.

The most memorable time was when she went in to buy a bottle of water and almost didn't make it back. In the end, all the mall's security personnel had to be mobilized to barely rescue her from the endless circles of fans asking for autographs.

"But I do think they all look pretty good."

Li Wu said to her agent, "How about I take some photos for you, and you can help me choose an outfit?"

After saying that, Li Wu took a few quick photos of the dozen or so haute couture pieces and then sent the photos to Sister Xin.

Look.

After I sent it, it took quite a while for Sister Xin to reply, and she sent several messages in quick succession.

【! ! ! ! ! 】

【Can I believe my eyes?! ES, GM, and even L'Oréal, the so-called pioneer of ultra-luxury gowns... My goodness, all the world's top ten luxury brands' haute couture gowns are in your collection?!】

……

A long string of exclamation marks was not enough to express Sister Xin's shock.

Let alone collecting haute couture from these ten top luxury brands, almost no actress in the industry could do that.

Just that one haute couture piece from L's brand, I heard that even actress Wen Yin, who tried to borrow it a year in advance, might not have been able to get it.

But now it has been sent to Li Wu long ago.

Li Wu then turned to look at the gowns that shimmered with dazzling light.

She knew that the things her housekeeper prepared for her were never cheap.

But I didn't expect it.

Every dress delivered here has a remarkable history.

Seemingly speechless with shock, Xin Jie finally sent a weak message after a long while.

"...Choose whatever you like, whichever one you prefer."

Either one of these pieces, if you were to wear it out, would be absolutely stunning.

Li Wu, "..."

Zhou Jinghuai returned around this time.

"you are back!"

As soon as she saw Zhou Jinghuai, Li Wu ran towards him and threw herself into his arms.

As the year draws to a close, the temperature outside is getting lower and lower.

Zhou Jinghuai, who had just returned from outside, carried a slight chill with him, but it wasn't strong. At least, the faint scent lingering in Li Wu's nostrils was that familiar, captivating, and elegant fragrance of snow among the pines.

"what are you doing?"

Zhou Jinghuai raised his hand and patted her head, his gaze casually sweeping over the dressing room.

The housekeeper and several servants standing to the side bowed slightly and greeted him respectfully.

"I'm choosing a dress for the ceremony." Li Wu lifted her head from Zhou Jinghuai's embrace, her clear, pure eyes filled with his reflection. "Could you help me take a look?"

talking.

Li Wu stepped slightly away from Zhou Jinghuai's embrace, took his hand, and walked inside.

Zhou Jinghuai's palms were large with long, slender fingers, and the pale blue veins were slightly raised, like bamboo made of white jade.

Li Wu's hand couldn't fully grasp his hand; it could only barely hold a few fingers.

But it only lasted a second or two.

Without lowering his head, Zhou Jinghuai skillfully wrapped Li Wu's slender and soft hand in his palm.

The walk-in closet, spanning over 300 square meters, is filled with all sorts of luxury goods. Shoes, bags, accessories, jewelry... the jewelry alone fills an entire wall of display cases.

Each one is priceless.

soon.

Zhou Jinghuai then saw the dresses that Li Wu had mentioned.

His calm gaze swept over them indifferently.

But suddenly...

Zhou Jinghuai's gaze lingered on the dress in the very center.

—It was a pure white strapless dress.

The pure white lace on the chest is intricate and delicate, like a romantic and beautiful white rose. The long, trailing skirt seems to be tinged with tiny starlight, light and dreamlike.

Li Wu followed Zhou Jinghuai's gaze.

Then, his gentle, soft voice came down.

"Go and try it on."

……

More than twenty minutes later, with Aunt Wu's help, Li Wu changed into the dress that Zhou Jinghuai had mentioned.

When going out.

A sense of tension inexplicably arose in Li Wu's heart.

When the door to the changing room was pushed open.

Hearing the noise, Zhou Jinghuai subconsciously raised his eyes—

A girl in a white dress suddenly appeared in his sight.

The elaborate yet exquisite white strapless gown accentuated her fair skin, making it appear as pure as the first snowflakes. Her beautiful, delicate collarbones and the subtle curves below them added a touch of sexiness, softening her otherwise strong girlish charm.

Her long, jet-black hair hung down gently, softly cascading over her shoulders.

Beneath her slender waist, the vast, pure white skirt rippled out in layers, like tiny, scattered starlight falling to the ground.

Beautiful and dreamlike.

Zhou Jinghuai's eyes didn't show much emotion, but he kept his gaze fixed on her.

His gaze never left his face.

……

Li Wu stood there quietly, graceful and elegant, like a painting or a fairy.

She noticed Zhou Jinghuai staring at her, and a hint of nervousness unconsciously crept into her eyes.

But after waiting for a while, Zhou Jinghuai still didn't speak.

Li Wu's breathing became lighter, and when she spoke softly, her clear voice carried a hint of trepidation, "No, doesn't it look good?"

"How about I try something else..."

"No."

A slight ripple finally stirred in Zhou Jinghuai's deep, dark eyes. His voice was low and slightly hoarse, "Very beautiful."

As soon as Zhou Jinghuai finished speaking...

Li Wu breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought he would find it unattractive.

At first glance, among the many dazzling and gorgeous gowns, Li Wu felt a little strange looking at this romantic and beautiful pure white dress.

Although she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange about it.

Zhou Jinghuai looked up at Li Wu, his dark, deep eyes as unfathomable as an ink sea, with an indescribable and unfathomable emotion in them.

"Come here." A few seconds later, Zhou Jinghuai said in a deep voice.
