Ah Min stood frozen in her steps, completely dumbfounded.
Not only her but the other female employees who were eyeing the devilishly handsome chef, were also gawking with their mouth open.
The rosy glow faintly lingering in the air, filled with the endless possibilities and vivid daydreams of the mythical hot new chef was mercilessly crushed to smithereens in a matter of seconds.
They had all been force-fed some bitter dog food and harsh reality, without even ordering for it.
Oblivious to the fact that the entire restaurant was eyeing them with a myriad of emotions, the couple took quite a few minutes, before very reluctantly breaking their passionate kiss.
With her entire rows of teeth on display, Su Lin turned around with a beaming face and flushed cheeks. "Ah Min, this is my... umm... husband."
She stammered like a blushing new bride and proudly introduced Luther.
Contrary to her earlier assumptions, turns out that she was the clingy one in their small family.
She was already missing little white and Luther's incessant presence around her.
Luther politely nodded at Ah Min, and then without wasting any more time, he whisked his wifey away to the corner table.
He had already prepared an elaborate special lunch for his special someone, which to the dismay of the onlookers was not even listed on the menu.
Such blatant bias!! They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
They all loved their new cool and powerful boss, whose aura alone could make them surrender.
But now, it looked like their powerful boss had an even more powerful weapon in her arsenal, her legendary grade handsome husband.
After witnessing the unnecessarily exaggerated elaborate lovey-dovey lunch drama starred by the husband and wife pair, Ah Min had to revise several assumptions in her brain.
The really long lunch hour finally ended and Ah Min returned to the office with her boss.
She couldn't help but notice the missing wedding rings on both their fingers and decided to talk to her about it.
After all, being a woman in business was especially hard. There will always be plenty of guys unnecessarily flocking around a successful professional woman left and right.
And a wedding ring might at least keep a few of these weeds at bay.
Maybe at her boss's level, she might not experience things like that, but it was always better to be on the safer side.
Ah Min noticed that she had been so engrossed in her thoughts that she had fallen behind her boss and hurried over to catch up to the happily whistling woman.
"Boss, umm... are the wedding rings currently being resized somewhere? If so, I can keep track of that and get it ready for you."
Ah Min cleverly broached the topic, without intruding too much.
They did not really have a formal grand wedding or even just the simple exchange of wedding rings.
Su Lin rubbed her ring finger subconsciously, as a gentle smile danced on her lips.
"It definitely is a good idea." She nodded while thinking about the women who were flocking around Luther during lunchtime.
She then realized how possessive her thoughts were and chuckled at her silliness.
Before today, she never knew that someone as old as she could even feel a childish emotion like possessiveness.
For the rest of the day, Su Lin went upstairs to the super-secretive research department and buried herself in there. This was still their most important branch of the company.
While the 5th, 6th, and 7th floor were occupied by regular employees, the 8th floor was exclusively occupied by just Su Lin and Su Bai, who were working at inhumane speed on the genetic analysis.
"Boss, when are we dealing with the Qin family?" Su Bai asked.
This would be the first time that they were actually going to deal with cultivators like themselves, and Su Bai couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive about it.
"Mmmm. Let's wait for a while." Su Lin absent-mindedly nodded, as she focussed on the gene signatures in front of her.
Even if she had one herb that was actually capable of storing spiritual energy, her task wouldn't be this arduous.
She can compare the genes in that herb to the genes in a herb that does not store spiritual energy, and instantly identify the target they needed.
But without that one template, this felt like they were searching for a needle in a haystack.
"Boss, do you think we are weak compared to them?" Su Bai asked, wondering why his master wanted to wait.
"I don't think so, but still it is better to be cautious." Su Lin replied.
The duo only stopped working when Luther came upstairs to pick his wifey up, after shutting down the restaurant for the day.
Luther's face was plastered with a wide grin as he hugged his hardworking wifey from behind. His life felt very surreal at the moment.
A normal life like this... How long had he earned for something like this...
This time around Luther was kind enough to bring food for his brothers and left it with Squirrel.
The duo then left together for their house, or at least Su Lin thought so.
"Is this the normal route hubby?" Su Lin waved her hand outside the open car window, enjoying the gentle breeze that was flowing outside.
Luther was surprised at her sudden display of intimacy. Being called as hubby definitely sounded good.
His devilishly handsome smile widened ever so slightly as he silently nodded.
The husband and wife pair enjoyed the silent tranquil car ride, as Luther drove over to a small lake at the northern outskirts of the city.
There was a particularly chatty woman at the restaurant today, who had told him about this magical spot.
Apparently it was supposed to be so awesome, that it was even nicknamed as lover's paradise.
