Chapter 115: Chapter 115: What on Earth Was I Wearing?
Although Lu Xinyue hadn’t told Father Lu and Mrs. Lu what she’d seen when she went to call Shen Nian and Lu Cheng, she was fully prepared to tease the couple a bit once they emerged.
However, little did she know that when Shen Nian and Lu Cheng finally came out, she would be greeted by such a sight.
’This is just... too gorgeous! A true feast for the eyes!’
"Oh my gosh! Brother, Sister-in-law, you two look amazing! And your clothes... they look like a matching set. Anyone can tell you’re a couple just by looking at you! Sister-in-law, where did you buy outfits like these? I want one too! Sister-in-law, your dress is so beautiful!"
Lu Xinyue had completely forgotten about her plan to tease them. Right now, the most important thing was those beautiful clothes!
What teenage girl doesn’t love looking pretty?
The Lu Family wasn’t badly off, and they had never deprived Lu Xinyue of anything. While children from other families could only wear hand-me-downs, Lu Xinyue always got new clothes for the holidays.
But compared to the dress Shen Nian was wearing, Lu Xinyue suddenly thought all her old clothes were complete trash!
’So ugly!’
"I made it myself. If you like it, I can make an outfit for you next time."
Seeing that the impact of her and Lu Cheng’s entrance had completely surpassed her expectations, Shen Nian was thrilled. Since Lu Xinyue liked the dress so much, she certainly wouldn’t be stingy about making her an outfit.
Of course, the original eighteen-year-old Shen Nian would never have been able to make such clothes. But this Shen Nian had been exposed to all the fashion trends of a future era. Moreover, she had even worked in a clothing factory in her past life, so making a few beautiful outfits was truly no difficult task for her.
"That’s wonderful! You’re the best, Sister-in-law! I’ll be waiting for the clothes you make for me!"
Sun Yufeng had originally wanted to stop Lu Xinyue’s request. ’Her daughter-in-law has only just married into the family,’ she thought, ’how can we just ask her to do this and that!’
However, the outfits Shen Nian and Lu Cheng were wearing really were beautiful; even at their age, they could appreciate them. Besides, seeing how excited Lu Xinyue was, Sun Yufeng decided not to intervene.
Thankfully, Shen Nian agreed without the slightest hint of reluctance.
"Mom, Dad, I only made these two outfits this time. If you like them, Lu Cheng and I can go into town later to buy more fabric, and I’ll make an outfit for each of you."
Shen Nian didn’t miss the pleased expressions on Father Lu and Mrs. Lu’s faces. ’Besides,’ she thought, ’if I’m making one for Lu Xinyue, I might as well make them for all three. Plus, it’s a great chance to win some favor with my in-laws. Why not?’
In fact, Shen Nian was also thinking about making outfits for her own father, mother, older brother, and younger brother. Just the thought of how happy they would be made her happy too.
’Even if I’ll be busy for a while, it’s totally worth it!’
"Yes, yes, Xiao Nian, we’re not in a rush. Take your time, and don’t wear yourself out!"
"Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. It’s just a few pieces of clothing. It’s no trouble at all!"
"Sister-in-law, when you’re making the clothes, can I join you? I want to learn from you!"
Lu Xinyue eagerly scooted closer to Shen Nian, her eyes shining, afraid she would be rejected.
"Of course! If you want to learn, I can teach you."
Shen Nian looked at Lu Xinyue, whose eyes were sparkling. ’This version of my sister-in-law is a world apart from the girl who hated me at the beginning!’
’How could I not like my sister-in-law now that she’s this adorable?’
Besides, if Lu Xinyue learned how to cook and sew, it would only benefit her in the future.
"You silly girl," Sun Yufeng said. "One minute you want to learn how to cook, the next you want to learn how to sew. Just make sure you don’t bother your sister-in-law at all hours!"
Sun Yufeng watched Lu Xinyue adorably begging for lessons, feeling both fond exasperation and deep contentment. ’My son has a bright future, my daughter-in-law is sensible and caring, and my daughter is well-behaved and sweet. Life simply couldn’t be better than this!’
"Don’t worry, Mom, I get it!"
’Of course I know not to bother my sister-in-law at random times. If I interrupt my brother and sister-in-law while they’re... *you know*... even if my sister-in-law doesn’t mind, my brother will definitely have my head!’
