Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 841 - 744: Can’t Leave Out My Wife_3

"Langchi, why don’t we take a break too? It’s still early," she said, taking hold of Mei Langchi’s hand.

As soon as sleeping was mentioned, especially regarding a woman, Mei Langchi’s face instantly turned several shades colder. "I’m not tired."

Ye Qing knew very well why he was angry. In fact, Chen Haichang had already told her that Mei Langchi was injured there.

Ye Qing didn’t know what the situation was exactly, but she was sure there was a problem; otherwise, Mei Langchi wouldn’t be so sullen now.

"Langchi, does it really have to be like this? We... I just want you to rest for a while. Look, you’re so warm," Ye Qing said, gently using a towel to wipe Mei Langchi’s forehead sweat.

She acted quickly, not giving Mei Langchi a chance to refuse.

"Just go and rest for a bit, quickly lie down. If you don’t want to touch me, you don’t have to. I won’t force you," Ye Qing said, pulling Mei Langchi into the inner room. Hua Hua wasn’t in this room.

Though she took a huge breath of relief, there was still a lingering emptiness in her heart, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable...

Mei Langchi went out early in the morning and didn’t return at noon, nor did he call home. Mr. Mei grumbled a few words but didn’t say much more.

The midday meal was fairly harmonious, with conversation and laughter. Of course, except for Xie Lingzhi’s face turning sour after seeing the things Old Mrs. Mei bought for the children.

Han Yi and his wife didn’t bother with it; he cared only about finally being able to enjoy his bath without competition at noon.

"Little Star, did you see? You’re Mom and Dad’s lucky star. After mentioning it in the morning, the room got sorted in just a few hours," Lin Wan said, lying under a mosquito net with Little Star after their bath.

"Hmm, yeah, Grandpa and Grandma often praise Little Star too. But my aunt says I’m a little beauty, says I’m pretty. Everyone loves a pretty girl."

No one spoke critically during today’s nap.

However, they didn’t indulge much either and got up by just past two. Mr. Mei’s birthday was an occasion that invited many VIPs.

So many things couldn’t be overlooked. Mei Shuping had been busy with the banquet preparation since yesterday afternoon.

In the afternoon, Han Yi was decisively called to the National Guest Hotel.

Quite a few friends had already arrived from outside the city, requiring numerous receptions, so Mr. Mei and Mei Shuqing also went over there.

Lin Wan hadn’t expected so many people to come this time. However, it wasn’t much concern for them.

But in the afternoon, Old Mrs. Mei had the most famous tailor in the Capital City send over a few dresses.

Prepared for the two daughters-in-law and Lin Wan, the newly arrived granddaughter-in-law.

"Mr. Wu, thank you."

"It’s my duty; I brought over a dozen outfits selected from top-quality, all chosen to match the two ladies’ measurements. As for the eldest daughter-in-law’s, I wasn’t aware of the size on the first meeting, so I brought over more options for her to choose from."

Mr. Wu looked to be in his sixties, at an age where he should be enjoying a peaceful retirement. There were a young man and woman standing beside him, likely his offspring, both poised to inherit his craft.

For Mr. Wu to come personally suggested that Old Mrs. Mei shared deep ties with him.

"Xiao Wan, try these outfits yourself. Pick whichever you like. Keep the ones you do," Old Mrs. Mei was kind-hearted towards her in front of others, showing the affection of an elder.

At this moment, her godmother also arrived, as she seemed aware of the afternoon dress fitting.

For Xie Lingzhi’s godmother, Mr. Wu prepared some cheongsams. I must admit, both Xie Lingzhi and her godmother maintained their figures well, very suitable for cheongsams.

The ones for Lin Wan were modernized cheongsams; after all, looking cute is preferred for the young, as being too solemn can appear elderly.

Actually, she prepared a dress for herself before coming. Designed by Wang Leqin, it was a white ethereal, slightly flared dress. While it’s beautiful once worn, the layers of tulle underneath were too many, making it somewhat warm. If the weather were a bit cooler, it would be quite suitable to wear.

But since there’s an option to choose today, she might as well pick a few. Mr. Wu was indeed a renowned tailor in the Capital City; the styles he crafted and color combinations were exceptional and perfectly aligned with the current fashion.

Lin Wan wasn’t particularly greedy; she picked two sets to avoid mockery. One was a three-quarter sleeve V-neck cotton-linen modified dark purple cheongsam, generally figure-flattering and slightly loose to obscure her belly. The fabric was natural washed linen, inherently rustic, with a slightly loose modified cheongsam, matching binding on the collar and cuffs, both exquisite and elegant. The V-neck accentuates the neck contours, slimming the figure, while the three-quarter sleeves enhanced elegance and poise. The design features a slanted crease with jade buttons extending the classical beauty through the entire hem, with side slits.

Frankly, even if someone noticed, they’d just remark she had a small belly. Naturally, she wasn’t overweight. However, since she gave birth to a child, having a small belly was quite normal.

Another piece was a high-collared, fitted red long dress with gold vintage patterns beneath the collar, exuding subtle sophistication. Its hemline was also more relaxed.

"Xiao Wan always has a keen eye. Help me choose, which one suits me best?" Liang Qian held up two cheongsams; in recent years, she had prepared several cheongsams for various banquets.

"Godmother, the jacquard hidden pattern dark green one."

"I think so too. This one is nice. Mr. Wu, this one, please."

"Alright."

The nearby fitting Xie Lingzhi watched their interaction and snorted disdainfully, picking a side-open, looped edge, traditional buckle cheongsam of superior quality.

One had to admit Xie Lingzhi was adept at dressing herself, her taste evident of her upbringing in a grand family.

"Xiao Wan, you haven’t tried on the two you picked yet, have you? Go try them," Liang Qian urged.

"Godmother, do we really need to try?" It was so hot; she didn’t want to move.

"How will you know if they fit without trying?" Liang Qian pressed her, pushing her to take the clothes upstairs to change.

She herself took Little Star by Old Mrs. Mei, accompanying Mr. Wu and others for a tea.

Lin Wan had no choice but to try on the dark purple one first. Once worn, it indeed looked nice. This kind of fabric was cool and absorbed sweat.

After receiving everyone’s unanimous approval, Lin Wan went and tried the red one.

Upon emerging, she stunned the few sitting in the living room, as Lin Wan rarely wore such elegant and solemn attire in her daily life.

Yet today, dressing like this, it indeed felt refreshing.

"This one looks good, it truly appears befitting as Mei family’s daughter-in-law," Old Mrs. Mei nodded. Limitations aside, her words couldn’t suppress Lin Wan’s subtle eye roll.

What did "appear befitting" mean? It was really ostentatious.

"Star, isn’t your mom pretty?" Liang Qian shook Little Star’s hand, dismissing Old Mrs. Mei.

"Hmm, yes! Mom’s really beautiful today. She needs lipstick," Little Star understood the concept of lipstick, having seen it in her mom’s makeup box. It was bought by Dad before she was born.

However, after Dad purchased it, Mom was prohibited from using it, so now it’s expired and unusable.

Dad clearly taught her not to waste and to be frugal, so why wasn’t Mom allowed to be frugal?

"Xiao Wan, wear this tomorrow. It looks nice; be sure to do your hair up," Liang Qian believed it suited for tomorrow.

"Alright."

"Choosing clothes couldn’t exclude my wife, right? Mr. Wu, have you prepared my wife’s outfit?" The previously lively living room was suddenly interrupted by a cold voice, making everyone instinctively glance toward the entrance.
