“Cousin,” Xiao Yunyun looked at Su Jian’an in confusion and asked, “why is your face so red? Do you feel hot?”
Su Jian’an casually made an excuse. “It’s a little stuffy here.”
“Stuffy?” Xiao Yunyun took a few deep breaths and said, “It’s alright.”
“Cough!” Su Jian’an changed the subject. “Turn around. I’ll help you smooth your dress.”
“Okay!” Xiao Yunyun’s attention was easily diverted. “Cousin, How do I look in this dress? Do I look good?”
“Well, you look better than the official publicity photos of a model!” Su Jian’an smiled and motioned for Xiao Yunyun to rest assured. “Yunyun, everyone will remember what you look like tonight. The makeup artists should have arrived by now. Go to put on makeup.”
Xiao Yunyun pursed her lips and happily followed Su Jian’an out.
The stylists had left, leaving those makeup artists in the dressing room.
As makeup artists trusted by first-line female stars, they naturally had good taste. Average beauties could not attract their attention at all.
However, when Xiao Yunyun came in, every makeup artist’s eyes lit up.
Xiao Yunyun was not as dazzling as the stars in front of the camera. Also, she was neither as glamorous as Luo Xiaoxi nor as stunning as Su Jian’an.
Her beauty was very pure. Her skin was white and flawless, and her facial features were delicate and adorable. With the girly and fairily dress, she was exuding a pure and bright girl’s quality, which made people find her not only beautiful, but also youthful and energetic.
The makeup artists said in a daze, “Miss Xiao, has anyone ever told you that you look particularly like the heroine in youth novels?”
Xiao Yunyun never knew what modesty meant. She nodded with a smile and said, “Yeah.”
The makeup artist let out an exclamation. “Who has such good taste?”
Xiao Yunyun smiled even more brightly. She looked at the makeup artist and said, “It was you!”
“Pfft…” The makeup artist burst into laughter.
Su Jian’an was not surprised by Xiao Yunyun’s trick at all. She pushed her to sit at the dresser again and said, “Marry, put on some light makeup for her.”
“Mrs. Lu, don’t worry. I was going to put on some light makeup for Miss Xiao.” The makeup artist took out an eyebrow pencil and said while filling in Xiao Yunyun’s eyebrows, “Heavy makeup will spoil Miss Xiao’s natural beauty.”
After Xiao Yunyun put on her makeup and shoes, Tang Yulan also arrived.
Su Jian’an deliberately asked Tang Yulan to come and take care of the two little babies. She just said that she and Lu Boyan had something to do tonight. Tang Yulan did not ask what exactly it was.
Tang Yulan had always been willing to give them freedom.
Seeing Xiao Yunyun coming down from the second floor, Tang Yulan was surprised. “Yunyun, has your injury healed?”
It could be ascertained from Xiao Yunyun’s appearance that she should have recovered for a few days, but Tang Yulan hadn’t hear it from anyone.
“Auntie Tang,” Xiao Yunyun ran to Tang Yulan with a smile and said wittily, “I’m all right now!”
“You’ve just recovered. Be careful.” Tang Yulan held Xiao Yunyun and asked curiously, “Why didn’t I hear you say that before?”
For the first time, Xiao Yunyun was not straightforward as usual. Instead, she said mysteriously, “Auntie, you’ll know tomorrow.”
Only then did Tang Yulan notice that Xiao Yunyun had dressed herself up. Her energetic and charming appearance was more eye-catching than before, while Su Jian’an was dressed in ordinary clothes without any makeup.
The old lady couldn’t help being confused. “Jian’an, what are you going to do?”
“Mom, I can’t tell you yet,” Su Jian’an said with a smile. “You’ll know when we come back.”
Luo Xiaoxi also came over and said mysteriously, “Auntie, the secret can’t be revealed now.”
Tang Yulan couldn’t keep up with these young people’s thoughts. She waved her hand and said, “Well, go ahead. I will take care of Xiyu and Xiangyi. It doesn’t matter if you come back late.”
Su Jian’an looked at the two little babies and made sure that they were not going to cry. Only then did she go out with peace of mind.
Uncle Qian had already stopped the car at the entrance. Su Jian’an was the last to get in the car. She closed the door and told Uncle Qian, “Let’s go to MiTime Bar on Huaihai Road.”
The evening in autumn came earlier than in summer. The sky was already dark now, and there was no trace of sunlight on the ground.
Xiao Yunyun gathered up her cashmere shawl on her shoulders and asked, “Cousin-in-law, what time is it?”
Luo Xiaoxi took out her mobile phone and checked the time. She also clicked the calendar and said, “It’s six o’clock. Don’t worry, we still have enough time. Yunyun, you chose a perfect time.”
Xiao Yunyun asked in confusion, “How?”
“It’ll be winter tomorrow.” Luo Xiaoxi said, “Today is the last day of autumn.”
“The winter is coming.” Xiao Yunyun grabbed her shawl. “No wonder I feel that the weather is getting colder and colder.”
Compared with the past years, this autumn was actually much warmer. Su Jian’an rubbed Xiao Yunyun’s arms like what she would do to warm herself on a cold day. “It’s because you’re nervous, right?”
Xiao Yunyun reluctantly admitted. “Yes, Cousin, I’m so nervous.”
Su Jian’an grabbed Xiao Yunyun’s hand and said, “Relax. Yuechuan will definitely agree anyway. You don’t have to worry about it. Why are you so nervous? Take a few deep breaths.”
Xiao Yunyun thought about it and felt that Su Jian’an’s words made sense. She followed Su Jian’an and took a few deep breaths. She didn’t know if Su Jian’an made her feel at ease or if the deep breaths really worked. Anyway, she didn’t seem to be so nervous anymore.
Seeing that they were about to arrive at the city center, Luo Xiaoxi told Su Jian’an, “Send a message to Boss Lu and ask him to take Yuechuan to MiTime Bar.”
“Okay.”
Su Jian’an took out her mobile phone and messaged Lu Boyan.
Lu Boyan had been reading the financial magazine in the office for more than an hour. When he received Su Jian’an’s message, he put down the magazine, took his coat, and knocked on the door of Shen Yuechuan’s office.
Shen Yuechuan thought that Lu Boyan was here to urge him to deal with the documents, so he didn’t even look up. “It’s almost done.”
Lu Boyan rested one hand on the door and said, “Handle it tomorrow. Let’s get off work now.”
After making sure that he didn’t hear it wrong, Shen Yuechuan slammed the documents and fiercely glared at Lu Boyan. “You were just kidding me by asking me to work overtime?”
Lu Boyan said with a calm face, “There is an emergency. Come with me to the bar on Huaihai Road.”
“MiTime?” Shen Yuechuan looked at Lu Boyan in confusion. “Why would you take me there?”
In fact, Lu Boyan didn’t know either. He could only say, “You’ll know when we arrive.”
The driver had already made the car ready. Lu Boyan opened the door and motioned for Shen Yuechuan to get in.
When he promised to work overtime, Shen Yuechuan had already been caught in the trap.. At this time, he had no room to refuse.
Shen Yuechuan had to get in the car. As soon as he sat down, he took out his mobile phone and called Xiao Yunyun.
He never thought that it might have something to do with Xiao Yunyun.
In his memory, Xiao Yunyun was still a physically challenged but strong-willed girl who must depend on both him and the wheelchair as her only means of transport.
Xiao Yunyun quickly answered the phone, and her soft voice came into Shen Yuechuan’s ear through the phone. “Haven’t you gotten off work yet? I’m hungry.”
Instead of complaint, there was only a hint of grievance in her tone, which made people feel sorry for her.
“I have something else to do.” Shen Yuechuan coaxed Xiao Yunyun in a soft voice. “If you want to eat something, order takeout first and ask the female security guard to send it upstairs.”
“All right.” Xiao Yunyun said in a very obedient voice, “Then you go ahead and do your things. Be careful.”
“Okay, see you later.”
Shen Yuechuan hung up the phone and caught a glimpse of the faint smile on Lu Boyan’s lips. He snorted and said, “When you and Jian’an are intimate with each other, you are sappier than me. How could you laugh at me?”
Lu Boyan didn’t speak. Thinking of what Su Jian’an had told him this morning, he vaguely felt that the main characters today were Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun.
Xiao Yunyun… was probably not at home at all.
Lu Enterprises was near Huaihai Road. The car soon stopped in front of MiTime Bar. The waiters came over to open the door and said in unison, “Mr. Lu, Mr. Shen, welcome.”
After getting off the car, Shen Yuechuan felt that something was wrong.
Lu Boyan’s car had never been to this bar, so it was impossible for the waiters to recognize it.
Even if the waiters recognized Lu Boyan’s car, they could not see him in the car from the outside. But when they greeted him, it was obvious that the waiters were sure that he was in the car.
Shen Yuechuan stopped and looked at Lu Boyan alertly. “What’s going on?”
In fact, Lu Boyan did not know about it either. He looked calm and said, “Let’s go in first.”
The waiters had already opened the door of the bar. Shen Yuechuan walked ahead, and he found that the interior decorations of the bar were different from what he had seen last time.
The bar, which used to have an elegant atmosphere, was now milky white and light pink. Every corner was decorated with red and white roses, and the lights were specially adjusted so that they were not bright but warm.
The bar, which used to be extremely lively, had now become a quiet and romantic world of fairy tales.
Shen Yuechuan didn’t know if it was his illusion that after he came in, the bar became completely quiet, and dozens of eyes were focused on him almost at the same time.
He subconsciously looked around the whole bar. In addition to Su Jian’an and Luo Xiaoxi, he also saw Su Yicheng, Song Jiqing, Mu Sijue, a few friends of Xiao Yunyun, as well as some of his buddies who would gather with him from time to time.
Shen Yuechuan stopped and looked at everyone in confusion. “Why are you here? What’s going on?”
Su Jian’an smiled, took Lu Boyan’s hand, and said, “You ask Yunyun.”
“Yunyun?” Shen Yuechuan got even more confused. “Is she also here?”
Su Jian’an just smiled and did not speak. Shen Yuechuan suddenly had a very subtle feeling.
Just at this moment, Xiao Yunyun’s voice came from behind him. “Shen Yuechuan!”
He turned around. For a moment, he suspected that he had an illusion.
Xiao Yunyun was not sitting in the wheelchair, nor did she walk on canes.
She was standing on the ground with her slender legs and stepping forward to him, just like what he had dreamed of—she coming down the aisle.
She got her straight black hair done and formed an updo like a flower fairy. Also, she was wearing a dreamy and girly floral dress, which was in line with her hairstyle.
Xiao Yunyun might not know how beautiful and charming she was at the moment.
However, in addition to being tempted, Shen Yuechuan was more surprised—
“Xiao Yunyun has recovered? Why did she hide it from him?
“What is she going to do?”
