Chapter 300 - Extraordinary Beauty

He kissed her shoulder and helped her with a robe while murmuring a sorry. 

"Jie, I don't like when you're on pins and needles with me. I'm not fragile. You should know that you can't hurt me that way even if you try." 

He just nodded. 

Soon the stylist came with Zhenyi's dress. Long Jie leaned again the wall, his eyes fastened on her wife's figure. He saw her interacting with the team of stylists. He had learned that this team would always accompany her. She had personal shoppers, hairdressers, makeup artists, etc.

She was not a shopaholic but she was a crazy spendthrift. 

Within the next thirty minutes, as indicated by Long Jie, Zhenyi was ready. So, he helped her to the car. Today, he chose to drive himself. 

"You have a real obsession with white, Jie," Zhenyi muttered as she settled inside the car. 

Long Jie focussed on driving as the roads in the evening were quite jammed. 

"It's silver, not white," Long Jie said after a while. 

Zhenyi scoffed. "Aren't you tired of seeing me in the same color again and again?" 

Zhenyi was wearing a silver blouse( but she would swear that it was white) and an embroidered black and golden long skirt. She paired it with earnings and black heels. Not to forget, her earnings matched with Long Jie's cufflinks. And it was enough for her to go crazy with gratification. 

"You look gorgeous in every clothes," Long Jie said while looking at her. "You look even more gorgeous without clothes." He chuckled heartily as Zhenyi hit his arm. His voice softened as he began, "But when you wear white, you always take my breath away. I have attended many weddings but I haven't ever seen a woman dressed in white as beautiful as you. On our wedding day, when you came with Bà and grandfather, I had decided as soon as I saw you in your wedding dress that I want to see you in white all the time." 

Long Jie spoke those meaningful so casually that Zhenyi had a hard time controlling her breath. She was aware that he loved seeing her in white because all the clothes that he had gifted her had a little or more white in them. But never had she once imagined the reason behind this mystery was this… 

"So, Mrs. Long, I will never get tired of watching you in white ever. You always take my breath away with your extraordinary beauty," Long Jie said while kissing her knuckle. 

"Long Jie!" 

Long Jie glanced at her in concern. "What happened?" 

She shut her eyes tightly. "I'm still sore and tired. Stop seducing me already." 

Long Jie looked at her in bewilderment. "What have I done to seduce you?" 

"You…. You just have to be you to seduce me."

As soon as both of them entered the threshold of Long Mansion, first of all, grandma Mian came gushing all of her love on Zhenyi, making Long Jie green with envy. Before Grandma Mian used to pour all her tenderness on Long Jie. He always had a very special place in his grandmother's heart. Although she loved all her grandchildren the same, still the connection she shared with him was very special. Now he had been replaced by his dear wife. However, he didn't feel bad about it in the slightest bit. He wanted his wife to feel that she belong here with his family. 

"My baby looks very beautiful today," Grandma Mian said, as she caressed Zhenyi's face tenderly."But why do you look so pale?" She turned her attention to Long Jie and chided him. "You took her away from me for so many days and didn't even feed her?" 

"Grandma--" 

"You all are brats! How badly I wish that I had a granddaughter instead of three rascal grandsons who know nothing but to trouble my precious granddaughters-in-law." Grandma Mian said with a frown. She again turned to Zhenyi and said," Does he really not take care of your meals?" 

"He doesn't even know how to cook," Zhenyi said with a wronged expression. 

Long Jie was rendered speechless by her impeccable acting. 

"You are good for nothing!" Grandma Mian scolded Long Jie. 

"I can explain, Grandma--" 

"Like hell you can," Grandma Mian said furiously. "How would she live with a man who couldn't cook? You better come home daily. I will personally give you cooking lessons." 

"You are so good to me, Grandma," said Zhenyi as she enfolded the old lady with a hug.

Long Jie stared at his spoiled wife in amazement. She truly knew when to hold the right thigh. 

After a while, Long Shaoming and Song Lily appeared followed by Long Jie's uncle -- Long Shen, and Aunt-- Zhao Nuan. They were Long Wie's parents. 

Long Jie and Zhenyi greeted all of them with respectful bows. Zhao Nuan warmly hugged Zhenyi after that and much to her surprise, Zhenyi returned the warm treatment. Meanwhile, Song Lily behaved like her usual self-- graceful, magnanimous, and elegant. 

Long Jie was a little surprised to observe the light and genuine conversation between his father and wife. They both behaved like a father-daughter duo.

Would it be wrong to say that he was a little envious as he had never enjoyed such a short and hearty conversation with his dad ever? 

Inside, more than fifty people were present including--- all the important members of the clan, shareholders, elders, lawyers, etc. 

Long Jie and Zhenyi realized that it was not just a simple clan meeting, it was much more than it. However, the real question was -- why none of the younger generations knew that their father had called for a clan meeting? 

Long Jie had his arms protectively wrapped around Zhenyi's waist as both of them greeted the guests. She was truly acting like a lady of the house. Though she was a little late to arrive as the lady of the house, she didn't make anyone feel that she was the one in the wrong. It was Zhenyi's special charm after all.
