When Lu Xinyi stepped out from the waxing salon, she pondered if she should run away from Xiao Lan. This woman was driving her nuts. Xiao Lan told her earlier that after a full body wax and will have a makeover later, Lu Xinyi couldn’t stop the shiver that ran down her spine.

If anyone dares to tell her that having a waxing session especially a full body wax is like a walk in the park, she will kill them.

True, she felt so much better once they stepped out of the salon knowing that she had gotten rid of all the unwanted hair all over her body. She felt sexier and more confident since they told her she can wear anything she wants: backless dresses, spaghetti straps—everything feels better with silky-smooth skin. Not that she liked to wear those kinds of clothes but hey it was nice to feel your skin so smooth like baby skin.

However, this feeling comes at a price. Damn, that waxing session hurts like hell. At least she didn’t look like a plucked chicken afterward.

“What’s next? Are we done yet?” Lu Xinyi followed Xiao Lan to the other side of the shopping mall. Goodness, how huge this place could be? She was sure she will get lost if she dares to leave her sight from Xiao Lan even just for a second.

“Will go to visit a dermatologist to see if we can get proper skincare products for you. Then will go to another salon to give you a makeover.” Xiao Lan responded before unlocking her car once they arrived at the parking lot.

Lu Xinyi took a deep breath and shook her head. She can’t really complain when Xiao Lan was kind enough to help her prepare before the big day. She didn’t like to embarrass Shen Yi once she met Madam Shen.

“Bear with it, Xinyi. I have done the same thing for years. It’s hard at first but you’ll get used to it.” Xiao Lan gave her a half smile. Poor Xinyi, it must be hard for her to adjust.

“I just don’t want to tarnish Shen Yi’s name because I did something ridiculous so I agreed.” Lu Xinyi looked out of the window and stared at the passing sceneries and they drove at the busy streets of the Capital City.

“Shen Yi said he will introduce you in five days. I assume that he was referring to the annual charity gala that their company will host this week. Xinyi, if you want to be taken seriously, you should know there are things that can ruin your image whether you like it or not.”

“But it’s not the right time to tell the world that we’re married.” Lu Xinyi told her friend, but it sounded like she was reminding herself.

Lu Xinyi’s phone rang and when picked it up, her mood improved as she saw Shen Yi’s name on the screen.

“Wow, you’re really calling me. This is new,” she said as soon as the connection was established between them. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

“I missed you too,” Lu Xinyi could imagine that he was grinning based on the tone of his voice. “I thought I’ll give my wife a call to encourage her to do her best. So, how’s your day going?”

“It’s good but I’m a little tired,” she whined to her husband. Lu Xinyi really wanted to go home but she can’t just leave Xiao Lan like that after all the efforts she made for her.

Shen Yi let out a silent laugh on the other side of the line.

“I know your busy today but can you add me to your to-do list?”

“Shen Yi! Do you want to be sent to the doghouse again?”

“Of course not! Anything but that!”

Of course, Lu Xinyi knew that he was just teasing her so she will forget her nervousness about her situation. Oh, the things she did for love. She will endure anything just to be with him.

“Only an idiot will dare to infuriate his wife like that.”

“Well, this idiot loves you so deal with it.”

The silence that greeted Shen Yi was so sudden that he had to check his phone if his wife didn’t cut the line. Pressing the phone closer to his ear, he heard her faint breathing on the other line.

“Xinyi?” He heard his wife whispered some words that didn’t register clearly onto him. “What was that? I didn’t hear you.”

“I said I love you too so stop grinning like an idiot and go back to work!”

Her words made his poor heart skipped a beat. He could almost hear her embarrassment over the phone, imagining her cheeks burning red while trying to cover her face with her hand.
