While those two people outside the door were arguing, Zhao Ning was curled up on the bed, taking care of himself. Originally, he had planned to endure it, after all, it wasn't his sensitive period, and these physiological reactions could be subdued without needing to address them. However, after enduring for a while, he realized it wasn't working. As long as he could sense the pheromones of Shen Xi, his whole body would become restless. Especially when he heard her voice sporadically, it became even worse. In the end, he simply took matters into his own hands.
Before going downstairs for lunch, he deliberately took an inhibitor and sprayed a considerable amount of barrier spray to prevent any unforeseen circumstances. During the meal, he didn't even glance at Shen Xi. After finishing his meal, he immediately went back to his room. He locked the window to prevent a recurrence of the incident when Shen Xi climbed through it last time. After completing all of this, Zhong Ning finally settled down for a peaceful afternoon nap.
I'm sorry, but without the actual Chinese novel paragraph you'd like me to translate, I can't provide an accurate translation. Could you please provide the Chinese text you'd like me to work on?
The day after the wedding date was set, Mrs Lin immediately began arranging a wedding dress fitting and photoshoot for Chao Ning and Gu Xiangnan. It was still dark outside when Chao Ning was forced to get up and get ready. Fortunately, the wedding suits would be delivered directly to Gu's house, so they didn't need to go out and save a lot of trouble.
For the time being, Chao Ning was a leisurely person, so he had time to try on his wedding suit. But Gu Xiangnan was a busy man. Just after trying it on for an hour, he received a work call and hurriedly went to the office to deal with it. After Chao Ning changed into a new suit and came out, he saw the clothes that Gu Xiangnan had casually thrown on the sofa.
"Gu Xiangnan has left?" Chao Ning asked the staff next to him while tidying his tie.
Mrs Lin stayed on the scene to supervise and see what her son would look like in a wedding suit. As soon as Gu Xiangnan left, she returned to her residence, without even a hint of considering her future daughter-in-law. Perhaps it was because Shen Xi was here.
The staff said, "General Gu received a phone call and hurriedly left. Mr Chao, why don't we try it here today?"
Chao Ning furrowed her brows slightly, "Can't I try it by myself? I can first try out the part on my side, and then you can find time to try it with Gu Xiangnan or directly send the clothes to his company for him to try."
The staff felt a bit hesitant and said, "... Then let's first try your part."
Shen Xi, who had been silent in the living room for an unknown amount of time, suddenly spoke up, "How about this, you don't have to go through the trouble of making another trip. I have a similar build to my brother, so I'll try on the clothes for him instead. Is that alright, sister-in-law?"
"No way," Chao Ning refused without any politeness.
"My sister-in-law agreed," Shen Xi stood up and reached out to the staff, "Clothes. Are there any more that still need to be tried?"
"...” The staff were a little hesitant to speak to Gu's second young master. Who would have expected that this second young master had such thick-skinned audacity? Nonetheless, the staff maintained their professional demeanour and quickly put on a professional smile. "Yes, Mr Shen, your fitting room is over there."
These people are truly professional. To ensure the fitting effect, they even temporarily set up two fitting rooms and a large dressing mirror at Gu's house. They even created a beautiful and romantic white and pink background.
Chao Ning sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, waiting impatiently. He was astonished by the shamelessness displayed by Shen Xi in front of everyone, but at the same time, he couldn't do anything about it. If he were to quarrel with Shen Xi, the ones who would suffer would be the staff members. They were just doing their jobs, and he didn't want to cause them any trouble. Moreover, it was undeniable that he had a little bit of expectation towards Shen Xi, which was something he had never experienced with Gu Xiangnan.
"Sister-in-law, can you come in and help me?" Shen Xi pulled back a corner of the fitting room curtain, revealing a head.
Chao Ning countered, "Help with what? Do you need someone to help you zip up the back of your dress?"
"...It's not a dress, but the zipper is indeed at the back," Shen Xi said innocently.
"...," Zhao Ning glanced at the staff, and the staff nervously averted their gaze.
Zhao Ning remained silent, with a calm expression on his face, as he walked over.
The fitting room was a temporary setup, and it wasn't very spacious. It was just right for one person, but a bit crowded for two. Zhao Ning and Shen Xi squeezed into one fitting room, their arms brushing against each other. They could only manage to create some space between their chests.
Ever since Chao Ning entered the room, Shen Xi couldn't take his eyes off him. His gaze was intense, and it seemed like the temperature around them had risen significantly because of his piercing stare.
Zhao Ning also felt a warmth creeping up his face. He turned his head slightly and said, "Why are you staring at me? Look the other way."
"Sister-in-law, you're so kind," Shen Xi chuckled, "It's obvious that you could have someone else handle it outside for me."
"...As for you, Ning, you should leave," he said, lifting the door curtain and preparing to go.
"I was wrong, just joking." Shen Xi held onto Shen Xi's wrist briefly before letting go. He made a slight movement as if attempting to turn around, but it was evident that he had some difficulty. "I don't seem to be able to turn around, so let it be like this."
"... " Chao Ning felt that Shen Xi needed to be sorted out. He wasn't in the mood to play this game with Shen Xi, so without saying a word, he was about to leave, but Shen Xi's agile turn pushed him inside.
Zhao Ning became furious and shouted, "Shen Xi, are you never going to stop?!"
"Sister-in-law, can you help me?" Shen Xi leaned closer to Zhao Ning, almost hanging onto him. "Will this be enough?"
