The comments were full of praise for Lin Wan.
[Lin Wan is down-to-earth! She’s like an ordinary person. The star closest to us. The easiest place to encounter an internet celebrity is…]
Lin Wan sat beside Xia Mo. ‘Xia, I’ve made a decision…”
Xia MO stretched and straightened her back. She wondered if Lin Wan had realized that she was very popular and decided to join the entertainment industry.
“I’ve decided not to come here anymore. Look at these comments. They make me feel so cheap. If Mr. Li finds out about this, he’ll definitely criticize me.”
She scrolled through the comment. ‘It’s unbearable.’
Xia MO laughed.
Lin Wan hesitated for a moment and nudged Xia MO on the arm. “D*mn it, don’t laugh at me! Just watch me. I’ll cut all ties with you, shower, and go home, and will never meet you again.”
The two joked with each other in the private room.
In the evening, Li Yanchen came home with a bouquet of roses. There was a diamond fan hidden among the roses. Excitedly, he went upstairs. He pictured Lin Wan’s happy face when she would finally see the roses.
But when he arrived in the living room, he found it empty. He looked around. Auntie Huang was cleaning the kitchen.
“Auntie Huang?” He called.
“Sir, you’re back. Have you eaten?” Auntie Huang asked.
“I’ve eaten already. I’ll go up and check on Wanwan. Is she in the bedroom?
“Madam isn’t home. She went to Xia Mo’s store in the afternoon and hasn’t returned yet.” Auntie Huang was surprised.
Didn’t Lin Wan tell Li Yanchen that she would wait for him to come back in the evening?
Li Yanchen’s heart sank. She clearly said she would be home in the evening, so why wasn’t she here yet?
“Alright. I’ll give her a call.”
Meanwhile, Lin Wan had already left the salon and was ready to drive back home. As she started the car, she got a call from Li Yanchen.
She answered via her Bluetooth headset. “Hubby!” Her voice was so playful that it made Li Yanchen flustered. He could tell that she was deliberately using that tone.
“You’re back already? I’ll be there in twenty minutes. Take a bath and wait for me, okay?”
Li Yanchen was at a loss for words. Blood rushed to his face. He felt flushed. “Did you drive there by yourself?”
“Yes, honey. You’ll see me after you take a bath. Mwah… See you later.”
After Lin Wan hung up, Li Yanchen stared at the phone. His cheeks burned, and his heart was racing. “What should I do?” he muttered. He had forgotten everything he had wanted to say to her.
‘I’ll just wash up and wait for her.’
Li Yanchen hid the bouquet behind something and sprinkled Lin Wan’s favorite bubble fragrance into the bathtub. He then took a bath.
Lin Wan drove her red Mercedes-Benz to her home. The song “Serious Snow” played on repeat. She had completely forgotten about the trending comments.
After Auntie Huang finished cleaning the kitchen, she left a small note on the door: “There are pears in the box. I’ll be in my room. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call me.”
It wasn’t even eight yet. However, she had seen the flowers Li Yanchen bought for Lin Wan. Auntie Huang understood that they needed some private time, so she retired to her room early.
On the second floor, Li Yanchen was quite satisfied with his physique. The half-year of exercising had paid off, and his eight-pack abs were evident. He felt much better than six months ago. He even added a provision to the employee handbook to schedule an hour of daily exercise during work hours in the building downstairs. The company covered the gym membership cost.
When everyone posted this provision on their WeChat Moments with teary eyes, their friends were truly envious.
During those days, Chenxin’s recruitment email always received hundreds of applicants for each position.
The HR and department managers were sick of looking at resumes.
Even the chief editor of the Yun City Central Channel contacted Li Yanchen. He wanted to do a special interview with Li yanchen about Chenxin. Li Yanchen passed the request to Secretary Han and let him make a decision.
After hearing the whole plan, Secretary Han thought it was an opportunity for publicity that they must participate in. On the spot, he came up with a title:
“Chenxin – The End of the Universe.”
Secretary Han and Assistant Qin represented Li Yanchen during the interview and spoke about the company as if no one knew it better than them.
Lin Wan drove her red Mercedes-Benz into the parking lot. As she got out of the car, she looked up at the second-floor bedroom, where the lights were dim.
She smiled.
Lin Wan opened the main door and entered the house. As she changed her shoes, she noticed Auntie Huang’s note. It was still early.
Lin Wan wondered if Auntie Huang was ill. She went to her room to check on her. She saw that Auntie Huang was at ease and was knitting. After that, she ran upstairs to her room.
After Li Yanchen finished his shower, he turned on the projector and played a movie. He leaned against the headboard and waited for Lin Wan.
When Lin Wan gently pushed open the bedroom door, a faint floral scent greeted her.
“Honey…” She smiled.
Li Yanchen coughed. “Hmm, darling, did you have a great time today?”
“Not at all. I was working all afternoon. In the evening, Xia took me for a spa session, and after that, I rushed back here.”
“Mm.” Li Yanchen deliberately moved so that the bath towel on his shoulder slipped down a bit.
Lin Wan’s eyes fell on his collarbone.
“Let me change my clothes,” she said.
As she turned around, Li Yanchen had already left the bed and was walking to her. He then held Lin Wan’s hands and led her to the dressing room.
A bouquet of red roses stood on the dressing table.
Li Yanchen held the bouquet. “This is for you. This is the first time I’ve ever given someone flowers.”
Apart from the wildflowers that he occasionally picked at Lan Village, Lin Wan had never received flowers from Li Yanchen before.
She had thought about telling him, but then thought it would be meaningless if she made him do it.
Unexpectedly, Li Yanchen had given her red roses.
“There were so many colors for this flower. The shop assistant explained it for ten minutes, and I didn’t quite understand. In the end, I chose red. I feel like our relationship is as splendid as these red roses,” Li Yanchen said.
Lin Wan took the bouquet and smelled it. She then kissed him. “Thank you. The most beautiful thing in the world can’t compare to Mr. Li’s bouquet of roses!
But why are you giving me flowers today?”
“I knew you’d forget. Today marks our one hundred and ninety-ninth day together. Look at the pattern of the flower,” Li Yanchen said.
“One hundred and ninety-nine days? Isn’t this usually for anniversary celebrations? Why celebrate random numbers?” Lin Wan asked.
“Why not? I think any number that feels good should be celebrated.”
At Li Yanchen’s words, Lin Wan felt happy. “I’m so happy! Hubby, I want to be with you now and forever. If you ever try to find someone else, I’ll dig up your ancestors’ graves!”
Li Yanchen was speechless..
