"We are husband and wife, I won’t keep soone around who causes a rift between us," Lin ngyao looked at Xu Ke, her gaze serious and focused.
"Tell his na, I want him to pay for what he’s done. Employees who ddle in the boss’s personal life, the Lin Group can certainly do without." A hint of anger flared in Lin ngyao’s eyes, clearly, today’s events had made her quite upset.
"It’s nobody else but the new manager nad Wu." Xu Ke felt sweetness in his heart, his smile grew even brighter, not at all looking like soone who’d been confronted by a mistress, rather, as if he’d encountered so remarkable happy event, which made Lin ngyao smile as well.
"I’ll fire him tomorrow and find soone new. I’m sorry you had to endure this today." Lin ngyao leaned in and kissed Xu Ke on the cheek.
"Exactly, today I really suffered. You better make it up to tonight, or my heart will still ache." Xu Ke watched Lin ngyao’s expression carefully as he shalessly said.
Lin ngyao’s cheeks suddenly turned red, intending to refuse, but in the end, she felt sorry for Xu Ke going through such a thing, and still nodded with embarrassnt.
"In three days, the Jin family is hosting a ball and sent an invitation. Let’s go together then." Lin ngyao wrapped her arms around Xu Ke’s waist, her eyes half-closed, speaking with a nasal tone.
"Sure, have you chosen your outfit?" Xu Ke asked contentedly, touching Lin ngyao’s smooth back.
"Not yet, are you going to choose for ?" Lin ngyao pouted and asked.
"Of course, you’re my wife." Xu Ke gave Lin ngyao a kiss.
After a while, without hearing Lin ngyao’s voice, instead feeling so warmth on his chest, Xu Ke looked down and couldn’t help but chuckle. It turned out Lin ngyao had fallen asleep long before, drooling all over his chest.
"What a silly girl." Xu Ke said with a laugh.
He wiped the drool off with a tissue, closed his eyes, and drifted off into a sweet dream.
Three days flew by in the blink of an eye.
"Xu Ke, didn’t you say you’d prepare a gown for ? Hurry and give it to , I need to change before we’re late." Lin ngyao reached out to Xu Ke.
"You’re in such a rush, would I ever let you be late?" Xu Ke said with a smile, then magically pulled a black gift box from the bedside table.
"The dress is inside, open it and see if you like it." Xu Ke looked at Lin ngyao with gentle eyes.
Xu Ke chose a form-fitting blush pink long dress, covering her all the way down to her ankles, highlighting Lin ngyao’s figure solely through its tailoring. But the back of the dress exposed a small, smooth part of her back, which softened her cold elegance, making her look more gentle and dignified.
"Do you like the dress I picked?" Xu Ke, dressed in a black suit, ca up behind Lin ngyao and left a scorching kiss on her exposed back.
"I like it." A hint of blush appeared on Lin ngyao’s face, her eyes glistened, making Xu Ke’s heart flutter.
"My wife is truly beautiful, I wish I could hide you away from everyone." Xu Ke passed his arms through Lin ngyao’s, crossing them over her abdon, enveloping her in his embrace, resting his chin on her head, with a touch of admiration and regret in his eyes.
"Why that look?" Lin ngyao placed her hand on the back of Xu Ke’s, her gaze puzzled.
"I regret choosing that dress for you, now everyone will see just how beautiful you are, it was a misstep."
Xu Ke’s exaggerated tone and expression made Lin ngyao burst out laughing.
"You’re just sweet-talking, okay, we’re running late, let’s go. As long as you don’t give up on , I’ll always be yours. No wild man can steal away." Lin ngyao turned, cupping Xu Ke’s face, and gave him a fleeting kiss on the lips.
"What have you been through these three months? You’ve changed so much, not only being coquettish but also so passionate." Xu Ke held Lin ngyao’s waist, keeping her in his arms, looking at her with a probing gaze.
"During the three months you were gone, I was so afraid. Afraid you’d leave , and once gone, never return. I reflected on myself; in our relationship, you’ve always been the active one, and I’ve always been passive, so I decided to change. Don’t you like the new ?" Lin ngyao looked up at Xu Ke with an anxious expression.
"How could I not? No matter what, I love you, before or after, you’re my beloved ngyao. No matter how far apart we are, you’ll always be my Xu Ke’s wife, so you don’t need to worry. A Xu family’s man loves only one woman for a lifeti, never changing till death." Xu Ke slightly bent down and whispered in Lin ngyao’s ear.
"Between the two of us, it’s more who should fear, not you." Xu Ke said softly.
"I’ll only ever have feelings for you." Lin ngyao, for so reason, suddenly felt a sting in her nose, her arms clinched tightly around Xu Ke’s waist, as if wanting to rge into him.
"You just did your makeup, don’t cry and ruin it, we still have to go to the ball tonight." Xu Ke gently patted Lin ngyao’s back, speaking with warmth.
"It’s all your fault, saying such sentintal things, almost made forget what’s important. Let’s hurry, or we’ll really be late." Lin ngyao sniffed and said.
"Let’s go," Xu Ke said, holding Lin ngyao’s hand.
Halfway there, they got stuck in traffic, hurrying as they might, they still ended up being the last to arrive.
It was Lin ngyao’s first ti at the Jin family’s ball, and arriving late, she was overwhelmingly nervous, her palm clammy as she held Xu Ke’s hand.
"Don’t worry, it’s okay. I know the old gentleman of the Jin family, he won’t trouble you." Xu Ke lowered himself a bit, whispering in Lin ngyao’s ear.
Strangely enough, after Xu Ke spoke, Lin ngyao indeed felt a mysterious sense of calm, her nervousness drifting further and further away.
