Jiang Yilai was afraid of him, so she could only say coldly, "I understand!"
Then he turned around and went upstairs.
Fu Nanxiao watched her retreating figure with an inscrutable expression.
The next day, someone came to take Jiang Yilai's measurements and made her a custom-made dress.
In the following days, Jiang Yilai rarely saw Fu Nanxiao again.
He seemed very busy, spending most of his time either in his study or the rehabilitation room.
Jiang Yilai didn't want to pay attention to him, but she would occasionally see Fu Nanxiao coming out of the rehabilitation room in the corridor.
He always looked tired, pale, and had a furrowed brow, as if he were in great pain.
Jiang Yilai felt a little strange.
Fu Nanxiao's rehabilitation time was carefully planned by the doctor, only two hours a day, but now, he spends significantly more time in the rehabilitation room.
But Jiang Yilai didn't ask any further questions.
The fire incident has been resolved; the security cameras in the elevator and basement were all damaged, and no evidence of arson was found.
In the end, the matter was settled simply because the fire safety was not up to standard, and Jiang was fined and ordered to rectify the situation.
Jiang Yilai even doubted whether the gasoline smell she smelled at the time was just her imagination.
But she was certain that this matter was related to Jiang Weijie and Jiang Lezhen.
Soon, the day of the banquet arrived.
Jiang Yilai only found out that day that they were going to a very formal business dinner, which was also the first banquet Fu Nanxiao attended after waking up.
She felt a strange sense of unease.
This should be an important moment for Fu Nanxiao to announce his return to the public. Why would he bring his wife, with whom he is about to divorce, along?
However, she was called over very early and had her makeup and hair done carefully.
She also changed into the evening gown that had already been made.
The moon-white evening gown perfectly accentuated Jiang Yilai's beautiful figure. The gown was adorned with numerous small diamonds, which sparkled and shimmered with every movement Jiang Yilai made, creating an indescribably dazzling effect.
Her makeup was exquisite, and her long hair was tied back with a moon-white tassel hairpin, simple, elegant, and beautiful.
After finishing her makeup and styling, Jiang Yilai stared at herself in the mirror, momentarily stunned.
At the Jiang family home, it was always Jiang Weijie and Jiang Lezhen, a family of three, who attended the banquets. She had never attended any, nor had she ever worn an evening gown.
Normally, her clothes are all about comfort and convenience, and she only manages to pull them off because of her good looks.
The person in the mirror has a cool and noble temperament, and every smile and frown is full of charm.
This was the first time Jiang Yilai had a profound understanding of her own beauty.
She strode out of the dressing room.
Fu Nanxiao looked up when he heard the noise, his gaze falling on her, a flash of amazement crossing his eyes.
Uncle Liu's mouth dropped open.
Even though Jiang Yilai was dressed up carefully, she was not overshadowed by Fu Nanxiao's aura when she stood next to him. On the contrary, the two complemented each other and their auras became even stronger.
Uncle Liu exclaimed, "Your wife looks beautiful today, she and the boss are a perfect match!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Nanxiao glanced at him indifferently.
Uncle Liu immediately fell silent.
Fu Nanxiao withdrew his gaze and looked into the mirror.
The man in the mirror had a cold and hard expression, and a frigid demeanor, making him seem extremely unapproachable.
The woman had gentle features and exuded a soft aura. Her moon-white dress made her feel warm, as if she were bringing light into the man's cold world.
The two, one cold and the other gentle, surprisingly harmonized.
Fu Nanxiao didn't look at it for long and casually looked away.
Seeing his indifferent expression, Jiang Yilai couldn't help but snort inwardly.
