Lin Yue stared blankly at herself in the mirror. She had never dressed like this before, but looking at her now, it seemed... not bad at all.
"Mr. Song, are you satisfied?" The stylist gazed at his "masterpiece" with a smug look on his face.
Song Yunxi crossed her arms and nodded slightly, "Not bad, we can continue to cooperate in the future."
Lin Yue looked down at her high heels, which were a full twelve centimeters high. She felt like she was standing on the tip of a needle. "Yunxi, could you change into a pair of shoes that are a little lower? I really can't get used to wearing such high heels."
"Little sister-in-law, please bear with it for a bit, okay? This dress and these shoes are a match made in heaven. If they were shorter, it wouldn't look as good." Song Yunxi affectionately linked arms with Lin Yue, her coquettish tone carrying a hint of pleading.
Lin Yue was completely defenseless against her, and could only smile and say, "Okay." Yes, the purpose today was to make a surprise appearance, and to achieve the best visual effect.
——
The VIP room on the eighth floor of the Chang'an Club was already bustling with activity. Tang Shiting had invited people from the upper class, some of whom were business allies, and others were old classmates. He didn't need to say much; just mentioning Song Yunzheng's name was enough to draw a crowd.
The waiter gently pushed open the door to the private room, and Lin Yue walked in arm in arm with Song Yunxi. The previously noisy chatter stopped instantly, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yue like spotlights.
Being stared at by so many eyes made Lin Yue feel extremely uncomfortable, as if ants were crawling all over her. But she still maintained a faint smile on her face; after all, dressed in such formal attire, she had to maintain a certain composure.
"Yunxi, why hasn't the main character arrived yet?" Li Leyan, a college classmate, asked impatiently. She hadn't seen Song Yunzheng for several years, and upon hearing that he was going to hold a birthday banquet, she had canceled several important appointments and rushed over.
“He’ll come right after get off work, please understand, he’s a doctor, he’s very busy. After dinner, you can play some ball or watch a movie.” Song Yunxi said as she led Lin Yue to the main seat and they sat down gracefully.
Wherever Lin Yue went, everyone's eyes followed. Almost none of the people invited this time knew about Song Yunzheng's marriage, which is why they were so curious about Lin Yue.
"Yunxi, aren't you going to introduce this person next to you to us?" Xu Xinya—the blind date that Zhou Lirong had forced Song Yunzheng to go on—had repeatedly invited Song Yunzheng out, but had been rejected every time.
"Well, let's keep this a secret for now. It's better to let the birthday celebrant introduce it himself later." Song Yunxi pretended to be mysterious, which undoubtedly aroused everyone's curiosity even more.
Xu Xinya frowned slightly, scrutinizing Lin Yue with her eyes, a hint of doubt in her mind, "This person seems familiar, like I've seen her somewhere before, but I can't quite place it."
Suddenly, the lights dimmed, and the door to the private room slowly opened. Song Yunzheng's tall figure appeared in the doorway. He was wearing dark trousers, and the collar of his white shirt was slightly open. Everyone held their breath. This man was still the same as before, the center of attention wherever he went.
Tang Shiting quickly pushed out a cake with lit candles. After singing "Happy Birthday," everyone cheered in unison, "Happy birthday, Boss Song and Dr. Song!!"
After the ceremony ended, the waiter quickly turned on the lights. The light was so bright that Lin Yue had to close her eyes tightly. When she opened them again, she saw Song Yunzheng looking at her greedily.
Song Yunzheng strode to Lin Yue's side, reached out and embraced her slender waist, and couldn't help but move closer to her, placing a kiss on her forehead. The faint fragrance stimulated his olfactory nerves; it was her unique womanly scent. His little wife had grown up.
A slight smile played on his lips as he gently stroked her long hair with his large hand. "My darling..."
"Hmm?" Lin Yue looked up at him, her big eyes blinking, lively and innocent.
His action stunned everyone, leaving them wide-eyed. Was he seeing things? The usually aloof and dignified Mr. Song, seemingly untouched by worldly concerns, was actually kissing a girl in front of so many people! This was absolutely unprecedented; coming today was definitely the right decision!
Xu Xinya, standing to the side, was so angry that she almost ground her back teeth to powder. She glared at Lin Yue with a look that seemed to burn two holes in Lin Yue.
Seeing her brother so infatuated with his sister-in-law, Song Yunxi couldn't help but chuckle to herself, "Brother, tone it down a bit. From the moment you walked in, your eyes haven't left your sister-in-law. Introduce her to everyone!"
Song Yunzheng then shifted his gaze and turned to face the crowd. "Thank you all for coming to celebrate my birthday. Let me introduce you to the lady beside me, my wife, Lin Yue. I won't say anything more. Please enjoy yourselves."
After Song Yunzheng sat down, everyone else took their seats as well.
Xu Xinya gracefully walked over, holding a wine glass. "Yunzheng, happy birthday."
"Thank you." Song Yunzheng picked up his wine glass, took a small sip, and then put it down.
"When did you get married? I haven't heard anything about it." She was still sizing up Lin Yue. "Your wife looks familiar. I feel like I've seen her somewhere before?"
"Maybe I have a rather common face," Lin Yue smiled slightly.
Given that Song Yunzheng was sitting upright to the side, Xu Xinya could only nod with a forced smile, and then "return home" like a defeated rooster.
Afterwards, Song Yunzheng focused intently on serving food to Lin Yue, worried that she wouldn't have enough to eat or wouldn't eat well. He even carefully removed the bones from the fish before putting it into her bowl, acting as if he were taking care of a child.
Of the people at the table, only Song Yunxi and Tang Shiting seemed unfazed by the situation. The others reacted as if they'd discovered a new continent—was this… still the aloof, taciturn, and unsmiling Boss Song? Had he fallen from grace for someone?
