Chapter 171 DRAMA & WEDDING PART 1
Xue Lin smiled ear to ear as she walked toward the parking lot. Ge Chen was wearing a black shirt and pants of the same color. He was leaning against Xue Lin"s car.
She stood in front of him and told him, "My husband, praise me."
Ge Chen gazed at her silently before smiling softly. "My wife is the best."
Xue Lin was about to get happy but paused and thought, "He kind of sounds like the boss of the host club. Maybe some men have the same way to praise people." She shrugged away her suspicion and brazenly boosted, "Now you know how amazing I am."
"From the moment I first met you, I knew you were more than amazing," Ge Chen opened the door for her like a gentleman and said, "Get in. I want to take you somewhere special."
"In the middle of the night?" although Xue Lin was surprised, she was thrilled.
To protect herself from unforeseen dangers, she always went back home within half-past ten. Especially since what happened a few months back, she was extra careful.
She rarely went home around eleven. Many cla.s.smates tried to take her to nightclubs and for other entertainments but she refused them since she didn"t trust them enough.
Now that she got a chance for a night out with her husband, she wouldn"t miss the chance.
The night was quiet. On the empty road, the car was running at a high speed. The car cut through the spring breeze. The windows of the car were open. Xue Lin"s hair was flowing in the strong wind. It was quite refreshing.
Soon, they arrived in front of an amus.e.m.e.nt park. Xue Lin got out of the car and looked at it with a frown. Since it was the middle of the night, the amus.e.m.e.nt park was closed. As a result, the place was dark and chilly. This was not exactly her idea of a night out.
It wasn"t that Xue Lin was scared of darkness. It"s just that she didn"t like unknown dark places. She stepped back and b.u.mped into Ge Chen.
Ge Chen covered her eyes with his hand and told her close to her ear, "Don"t move."
"What"s going on?" Xue Lin warily asked. She immediately guarded up.
"It looks like it will take months before she completely trusts me," Ge Chen noticed her behavior and pondered. He said gently, "I just wish to give my wife a surprise for her wonderful achievement." His voice was so soft that it was almost like a whisper.
Then, he slowly took his hand away from her eyes and stated, "Congratulations, my wife. I"m very proud of you. I"m the luckiest person to have an amazing person by my side."
"!!!" Xue Lin heard him most certainly but she forgot to thank him. She gaped the moment her eyes were uncovered.
In front of her, the amus.e.m.e.nt park had lightened up. It was sparkling and glittering like Christmas. The quiet place was suddenly hustling and bustling in the middle of the night.
"Come with me," Ge Chen moved forward and reached out his hand. Xue Lin held his hand in a daze. He intertwined their hands and squeezed her small, soft hand.
Two guards were waiting for them in the front. They happily smiled at them and started to speak with Ge Chen, "Xiao Su, I never thought you would marry so easily. I was thinking of tangling my younger sister with you. I"m glad that you have a wife now. Now, you have someone you can share your burden."
"I do. Thank you for caring for me all this time." Ge Chen politely spoke.
"Ah, don"t be so distant! We are buddies, aren"t we?" The security guard patted him.
Ge Chen introduced them to Xue Lin, "Let me introduce you to my wife. Lin, he is Xiao An and he is Xiao Ming. When I worked here as a security guard, I hung out with them often. Xiao An, Xiao Ming, this is my wife Xue Lin."
Xue Lin politely said, "Thank you for taking care of my husband up until now," saying that she bowed deeply at them.
The two security guards hurriedly said, "Ah, please don"t bow. You are like our younger sister. Boss has specially prepared tonight"s event for you two. Please enjoy!" They seemed a bit embarra.s.sed and easy-going people.
"Thank you. My wife, are you ready for the adventure?" Ge Chen looked at Xue Lin.
She replied, "You bet."
They roamed around the amus.e.m.e.nt park. The rides were all available and the food stalls were open too.
Xue Lin asked him, "Why do they call you Xiao Su?"
Ge Chen replied, "I"m using my maternal family name whenever I work."
"What about doc.u.ments?" Xue Lin became curious.
"Forged," he answered her with one sentence.
"..."
Later, Xue Lin saw an ice cream stand. She bought two chocolate, vanilla cones. happily handed over an ice cream cone to Ge Chen and then entered the Ferris Wheel.
It was the largest Ferris Wheel in the B city. They could see the whole city from here. The city was sparkling like stars in the dark. It was quite an exquisite sight.
"It"s beautiful!" Xue Lin was amazed. She couldn"t take her eyes off from the scenery. However, she didn"t forget to use her tongue to lick the ice cream before it melted away.
Ge Chen commented, "I"m glad that you like it."
"I love it but I don"t understand why your ex-boss allowed us here in the middle of the night."
"It"s because he likes us very much," Ge Chen hid his laughter and lied.
Xue Lin was confounded. "I"m confused. Since when did the bosses become so generous? I"ve started to believe that the bosses in B city are super generous. By the way, how long did you work here?"
Ge Chen answered her, "I worked here for three months before I went back to France. Thanks to that I was able to meet you."
"Oh, you mean when we met at the bar." Xue Lin took a trip down the memory lane to remember how she met Ge Chen when she was in a drunken state.
She was a bit ashamed that her husband of all people had to see that side of her.
