But upon hearing this string of compliments, Fu Shi didn't seem pleased. Instead, she pouted and complained, "You sound so perfunctory~!"
---------------------------------
After hearing Fu Shi's words, Fu Lin's lips curled slightly into a light smile. He reached out and gently pinched Fu Shi's nose, speaking tenderly, "Alright, stop fooling around, we should get going now."
Fu Shi obediently nodded, then tightly clung to Fu Lin's arm, and together they walked out of the room.
They entered the living room and immediately saw Mei☆ and Elysia sitting on the sofa.
As soon as Elysia saw Fu Lin and Fu Shi, she stood up quickly and greeted them with a joyful smile, "Hi, good morning! You're finally out～?"
Fu Shi was stunned and blurted out, "How did you find this place?"
Elysia smiled faintly, not answering Fu Shi's question directly, and instead shifted her gaze to Fu Shi's dress.
Her eyes suddenly lit up as if she had discovered a treasure, and she excitedly praised, "Wow, Fu Shi, that dress looks amazing on you! It suits you perfectly!"
Before Fu Shi could respond, Fu Lin proudly raised his head with a look full of pride and cut in, "Hmph~ Of course, who do you think designed the dress? My sense of aesthetics has always been impeccable!"
Upon hearing this, Elysia immediately pounced on Fu Lin, tightly hugging him and acting coquettishly, "Fu Lin, I want such a beautiful dress too～"
Caught off guard by Elysia's sudden request, Fu Lin was momentarily at a loss and let out an "Uh..." unable to respond right away.
However, seeing this, Elysia suddenly turned around with an exaggeratedly disappointed look, murmuring, "Could it be that Fu Lin only prepared a pretty dress for Fu Shi～? Does that mean in Fu Lin's heart, there's no place for Mei☆ and me? Sigh, Mei☆, let's just leave～ It seems we've misplaced our trust. He only has eyes for Fu Shi."
With that, Elysia unhesitatingly took Mei☆'s hand and made a show of turning to leave.
Standing to the side, Fu Shi heard Elysia's words and felt a sweetness bloom in her heart like honey.
A proud smile also appeared on her face involuntarily.
However, Mei☆ looked a bit awkwardly at Elysia and said softly, "Elysia, Fu Lin hasn't said anything yet....."
At that moment, Fu Lin quickly explained, "Exactly, I haven't said anything yet. And how could I possibly forget about you two?"
To prove his innocence, Fu Lin swiftly took out two completely different styled dresses, one was a pink princess dress, and the other a simple, light purple vintage long dress.
He handed the two dresses to Elysia and Mei☆ respectively, smiling as he said, "Ta-da! Just look at the colors, I picked them especially for you two. Go ahead and try them on."
Elysia and Mei☆ took the dresses, their faces lighting up with joy. It was clear they were very satisfied with the outfits.
They hurried excitedly into a room to change.
Seeing Fu Lin take out two more dresses, Fu Shi couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment.
She slowly crossed her arms, her lips pouting slightly in discontent as she said, "I thought the new clothes were just for me… Turns out everyone gets one. I got excited for nothing."
Fu Lin, "..."
After a while, the room door slowly opened and Mei☆ was the first to walk out.
She wore a brown wide-brimmed hat with a few small flowers adorning the top.
Her upper body was dressed in a white blouse, with a deep blue gem at the collar. Lace decorations ran from her shoulders to the chest, adding a touch of elegance.
The lower half featured a fluffy light purple long skirt that swayed with her steps, creating a lively big-sister-next-door charm.
Fu Lin's gaze fell on Mei☆, and he was momentarily dazed, staring blankly before he couldn't help but praise, "You look wonderful, Mei☆."
Mei☆ smiled gently, nodding slightly as she said, "I really like this dress too..."
In truth, as long as it was from Fu Lin, she would love it no matter what.
Just then, Elysia suddenly peeked out from behind Mei☆, her face wearing a mischievous smile as she giggled and said, "Hehe, Fu Lin, you look totally enchanted, don't you, Mei☆～?"
Startled by Elysia's teasing, Fu Lin coughed awkwardly and quickly shifted his gaze to Elysia.
She was wearing the pink dress, its layers of ruffles spreading out like blooming petals.
Her silky long hair was tied with a huge red bow, adding a touch of playful cuteness.
Fu Lin looked at her, his lips curving into a faint smile as he softly said, "Ahem, Elysia, you look beautiful in that dress, but..."
He paused slightly, "It still can't compare to the ones Eden designed for you. Maybe you should switch back?"
Hearing this, Elysia's face lit up with a sly smile. She blinked and said coyly, "I refuse～ You picked this outfit, so you'd better keep watching, no looking away～?"
...
By the time Fu Lin and the others arrived at the cathedral of Schicksal HQ, the colorful stained-glass windows reflected a kaleidoscope of light, telling the tale of Schicksal's long history.
Inside the hall, rows of neatly arranged seats were already occupied, Cecilia, Sirin, Kallen, Yae Sakura, and others had taken their places.
Fu Hua, Cheng Lixue, and Li Sushang, who had just been awakened overnight from her cryogenic pod by Otto and was still dazed, not knowing what was going on.
Himeko, Kiana, Mei, Bronya, Wendy, etc...
Then there was our main party. Accompanied by three beautiful girls with different styles, Fu Lin, trying to avoid drawing attention, quietly found a seat in a corner.
Even so, Kiana☆, who had been scanning the room for Fu Lin, immediately spotted the figure sitting in the corner.
Her gaze slowly moved to the girls beside Fu Lin, their lively laughter, their gorgeous dresses, and their close interactions with him.
In an instant, a faint red glow flashed in Kiana☆'s eyes.
She suddenly stood up, left her seat without hesitation, and walked quickly toward Fu Lin. Once in front of him, her eyes carried a hint of scrutiny as she coldly swept over everyone present.
Finally, her gaze settled on Fu Lin, her cold face breaking into a slight smile, "Fu Lin～ You finally made it."
Fu Lin smiled and nodded, then took out a purple dress and handed it to Kiana☆, "Kiana☆, this one's for you. There's still a bit of time before the ceremony , want to try it on?"
Looking at the purple dress in Fu Lin's hand, Kiana☆ felt a surge of complex emotions. On one hand, she was tempted by the beauty of the dress; on the other hand, there was her rounded belly.
Her gaze involuntarily shifted to the side, seeing the three girls who had already changed. Their figures remained slim, the dresses fitting them perfectly and making them look stunning.
Kiana☆ looked down at her rounded belly, and a wave of gloom suddenly rose in her heart.
She realized that while pregnancy brought her joy and expectation, it also came with inconveniences and distress.
Little Star [Fu Xing]., Mother used to call me darling, mama… does love disappear?
Fu Lin immediately saw through Kiana☆'s feelings and gently reassured her with a soft smile, "Don't worry. This dress won't affect your beauty at all. It might even add a unique charm."
"If Fu Lin wants to see it, then I will."
After hearing Fu Lin's words, Kiana☆ took a deep breath, then walked firmly toward an empty room as if making a determined choice.
After a while, when Kiana☆ reappeared, everyone's eyes were drawn to her.
The purple dress fit her perfectly, cleverly concealing her slightly bulging belly while highlighting her slender neck and elegant shoulder lines.
The hem of the dress swayed lightly with her steps, like a blooming violet, exuding a captivating charm.
Kiana☆ walked up to Fu Lin with slight shyness, gently hugging her arms and nervously asked, "Fu Lin, do I look good in this..."
