"Brother, she is my friend," Gu Yubei replied.
Then he looked at Sheng Ning’an: "Are you here to have my brother tailor a dress?"
Sheng Ning’an looked in the direction of Gu Yunnan: "I asked Mr. Gu to help me customize an engagement dress a while ago."
"You’re getting engaged?" Gu Yubei looked at her in surprise.
"Yes," Sheng Ning’an nodded.
"Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can wait outside for a while. Miss Sheng and I need to discuss some business," Gu Yunnan dismissed Gu Yubei.
"Okay, I’ll head out first. You two take your time talking," Gu Yubei knew his brother was a workaholic, and nothing was more important than his work.
If he disrupted his work, even as a younger brother, he would still be shown the door.
Sheng Ning’an came today mainly to try on the dress prototype, ensuring the final dress would fit perfectly.
Gu Yunnan asked his assistant to take Sheng Ning’an to try on the dress, made according to the measurements taken earlier. If there were no issues, they could officially start making the dress.
As expected of a master, the prototype made after side-view tailoring perfectly fit Sheng Ning’an’s body curves, requiring no alterations.
Gu Yunnan glanced at her. The plain white prototype on her accentuated her graceful figure. Even though he had tailored dresses for many celebrities over the years, he had to admit she was a rare beauty.
Swan neck, square shoulders, simply a perfect goddess-like figure.
After a moment, Gu Yunnan, without revealing his thoughts, said, "If there are no issues, we will proceed with these measurements. Once the final dress is ready, we’ll contact Miss Sheng for a fitting. During this period, it might be necessary for Miss Sheng to watch her diet, as the dress has high requirements for body shape. If your figure changes during this time, it could impact the dress’s effect."
Although alterations can be made before wearing, adjusting a dress is more troublesome than regular clothes.
"I understand," Sheng Ning’an nodded.
With only a little over two months left until the engagement, and given she wasn’t inherently prone to gaining weight, maintaining her figure wasn’t difficult for her.
"Then I’ll trouble Mr. Gu!"
Having confirmed the follow-up arrangements for the dress, Sheng Ning’an stood up to take her leave.
Gu Yubei was chatting with the receptionist when he saw Gu Yunnan escort Sheng Ning’an out and greeted them, "Are you done talking?"
"Yes, the measurements Mr. Gu took earlier were very precise, with no need for alterations," Sheng Ning’an said with a smile.
Gu Yubei glanced in Gu Yunnan’s direction and said, "You might not know this, but my brother’s eyes are like measuring tapes. Just one look and he can determine a person’s clothing size."
Sheng Ning’an had heard of the term "eye ruler" before, referring to those who can gauge height, shoulder width, and waist size with their eyes, as if they were measuring tape.
She looked at Gu Yunnan in surprise.
She hadn’t expected him to be so skilled.
Gu Yunnan, expressionless, glanced at Gu Yubei and then turned to Sheng Ning’an: "Don’t listen to his nonsense, it’s just practice makes perfect."
Gu Yubei smiled without refuting.
One could tell the two brothers had a very good relationship.
Although curious, not knowing if it was true, Sheng Ning’an didn’t presumptuously press further.
Saying goodbye to the brothers, she said, "Then I’ll head back first. If there are any issues, feel free to contact me."
