“Okay, see you at six,” Lu Hao replied, his tone concise and calm, devoid of evident emotions.
After ending the call, Lu Hao took a few deep breaths, making a concerted effort to regain his composure. He accelerated his pace, driving towards the military compound.
He knew he had to attend tonight’s dinner with his best friends. He couldn’t allow his emotions to get the better of him. Furthermore, it was the first time he would meet Yichen’s wife, and he wanted to make a good impression on his sister-in-law, so he needed to adjust his emotions.
At the same time, in the Blue Bay villa, Xiao Yichen returned to the master bedroom and didn’t find his wife there. He glanced around and spotted her on the balcony.
Xiao Yichen walked over to her.
When he reached the balcony, Xiao Yichen embraced Lin Wan from behind, holding her close.
Xiao Yichen’s sudden action initially took Lin Wan, but she allowed herself to be held.
“What’s on your mind?” Xiao Yichen inquired, resting his head on Lin Wan’s shoulder.
“Work,” Lin Wan replied with a calm demeanor.
Upon hearing her response, Xiao Yichen chose not to press further. Instead, he commented on his thoughts. “The results of the SU collection finals are about to be announced.”
“Mm,” Lin Wan replied, acknowledging this. She had been contemplating how to tell him about her potential success in the competition, particularly if she secured first place and earned the opportunity to study abroad.
Unaware of Lin Wan’s thoughts, Xiao Yichen shared his own. “1 didn’t participate in the finals. The final results are fair.”
Lin Wan nodded in response to his words.
Xiao Yichen felt Lin Wan’s nod and moved closer to her neck, whispering, “Wan’er, 1 have absolute faith in your abilities. In the jewelry industry, you shine brilliantly.”
Her talents were akin to the jewelry she designed, unique, elegant, and captivating.
Her designs represented her passion, a source of inspiration born in her heart. Her beauty wasn’t confined to her physical appearance alone; it emanated from within, shining through her artistry.
Upon hearing Xiao Yichen’s words of affirmation and praise, Lin Wan smiled and said, “1 don’t need to be dazzling. 1 just want to do what 1 love.”
She cherished designing, she cherished jewelry, and she relished the process of turning her dreams into exquisite jewelry.
“Alright,” Xiao Yichen replied, his eyes filled with thought.
“Wan’er, follow your passion. 1’11 support you, and 1’11 be there with you.”
The two of them shared a quiet moment like this, and after a while, Xiao
Yichen said, “Get ready. I’ll take you to Qinling villa later.”
“Okay.” Lin Wan acknowledged.
She then chose her outfit and applied her makeup.
Once Xiao Yichen was dressed, he noticed Lin Wan was still engrossed in her makeup routine. He sat down beside her, attentively watching her with a patient demeanor.
“Head downstairs and wait for me. 1’11 try to hurry up,” Lin Wan suggested to Xiao Yichen. His unwavering gaze made her feel a bit self-conscious.
“It’s fine. Continue. I’ll keep you company,” Xiao Yichen said. He cherished every moment he could spend with her.
Her beauty was captivating, and her complexion flawless. She became even more stunning in his eyes as she applied light makeup.
An idea suddenly crossed Xiao Yichen’s mind. He considered not taking his wife to Qinling Villa anymore. Luo Ziyan always had ulterior motives whenever he saw her, and today, she looked exceptionally beautiful. It would be dishonest to say that he wasn’t concerned.
However, he knew that these were just thoughts and that he could not act upon them. The main purpose of tonight’s dinner was to facilitate a meeting between Wan’er and Lu Hao..
