Since Lin Zhou was only silent and did not actually say a word of it, Lin Lihua pushed it at the back of her mind. Perhaps her father was just worked up from many things happening in the company. If there was anything that needed her attention, he would talk to her about it.

But she should have known that a woman's intuition is always right.

Lin Zhou was indeed displeased by the presence of two adopted granddaughters in a row. Could this situation get any stickier?

Although Lin Lihua was not his biological daughter, he had loved her like his own and treated her nicely for all these years.

He had also tried to get along with Wan Jia and Little Jia because Wan Jia was Xia Rou's daughter and Little Jia was too adorable for anyone to dislike her.

However, that did not mean that he would like other children who were neither Wan Jia's nor Lin Lihua's biological children. Little Jia was already the Lu family's heiress while Lin Lihua did not seem to want to have children of her own.

He was not particularly against Lin Lihua adopting kids. The only problem here was that he did not have any biological child and the Lin family's business was going to completely fall into the hands of outsiders. Who would want that?

Presently, Xia Rou did not know what her husband was thinking and kept scooping dishes for her lovely pair of little beauties.

"Lihua, do you and my son-in-law have much going on?"

Lin Lihua snapped from her daze. "We would never be too busy for you. Do you need us for something?"

"If you are not too busy, can you attend The Annual Designer Awards? I have been nominated."

Lin Lihua found it a little comical. Her mother still wanted to take part in such activities? She was too cute. "Alright. I will be there. If Henry is not too busy, I will drag him along."

Katy and Ruoxi giggled. If she said 'drag him along', she would really do it. They had witnessed her dragging him out of the study if she thought he was working too hard.

That Saturday, Wan Jia found the best stylists to get her designers ready.

It was only when she was sure that all three of them would no longer need her attention that she left to get ready herself.

Xiao Rong was the only one who was new to such competitions and was a little nervous. Howoever, Xia Rou and Lin Ye kept encouraging her so she was more confident.

MAX brand should have won an award for the unity among its designers. Although Xia Rou, Lin Ye and Xiao Rong were all hoping for the same award, they were not jealous of each other. They in fact encouraged each other so much that it was all the same no matter who won it in the end.

When he was ready to go, Lin Ye gave Yun Xuan a call.

"Boss, are you ready yet? I will go to pick you up if you are."

Yun Feng was already asleep. This time, Madam Yun kept him company. Just like Xia Rou, Madam Yun was good with babies too. He would play with her hair and stay for longer before missing his mother. Therefore she was settled.

"I have already settled my naughty little son. But.... will it not be too much trouble if you came to pick me up?"

A flush appeared on Lin Ye's ears. Was she worried about him? "It's no trouble."

Hanging up, Lin Ye was so excited he could fly. He was finally going to see his goddess! Oh, it had been long since he last saw her. Actually, the last time they met should be more than two months ago!

He had been helpless and could not find any excuse to give her a call. Besides, he had been busy. It was killing him.

After ensuring that he looked handsome enough, he got into his car.

...

He drove fast and arrived at Yun Xuan's apartment within just fifteen minutes.

She was waiting for him outside with happiness blooming all over her body. There seemed to be a special charm about her tonight.

"You're here. I was starting to think you stood me up."

Although it was only fifteen minutes, he did not find her impatient. "I would never stand you up. I cannot bear to."

He only realized what he had said after finishing his statement.

Did this not sound like a boyfriend's words to his girlfriend?

This was not the first time that Yun Xuan's words made him overthink but from her tone, she probably meant nothing of what he imagined.

He looked at the woman before him. "You look beautiful."

The woman was wearing a cream-colored gown with a bare back. Since becoming a mother, her figure was more attractive. Her gown made it hard for Lin Ye to pull his eyes away from her.

Her hair had grown back quickly and she had it in large waves. With part of her back being covered by her thick blond hair, she looked more seductive than she would if her back was completely exposed.

But, her face...!

"Thank you. You don't look half bad yourself."

Lin Ye felt even happier from the compliment.

But he was still in shock. Perhaps it was because her old face felt natural to him that he had only realized after looking at her once more. "Boss you... your face..?"

Yun Xuan chuckled. He was not the only one surprised. "I did this to make sure my past enemies don't remember me."

Actually, she was still nursing her skin after the surgery. It would take three more months to completely heal.
