Slowly but surely

The evening quickly came and a certain someone is feeling very excited and this person is no other than Li Jin. The Li Empire experienced a total summer the whole day. Some people can't even help but gossip about the reason why their CEO is in a good mood. Assistant Leng will just always smile in response.

"Assistant Leng, you can go home early. I will drive by myself tonight." Li Jin said while he picked up his car keys and coat.

Assistant Leng nodded and replied, "Then please drive safe, President."

"Hmm." Then Li Jin walked towards the elevator.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, he immediately boarded his car and swiftly drove his car out of the building.

When he arrived at the restaurant, Yang Zi had still not arrived so he patiently waited for her. 10 minutes later, a familiar figure walked in, it was Yang Zi. Admiration is written all over his face when he sees that Yang Zi is wearing business attire. It's his first time seeing her wearing this kind of outfit. He can't take his eyes off her.

"I'm sorry I am late. There was slight traffic on the way. Have you been waiting long?" Yang said apologetically.

Li Jin smiled and shook his head, "I just got her as well. I already ordered our food. You can order if you want to add something."

"It's okay. I am not picky." Yang Zi said.

When the food arrived, the duo started eating.

"So, how was your first day at work?" Li Jin asked her.

"Not bad. I am now the acting CEO of the company because my brother is going on a business trip for one month in the US." Yang Zi said with a slightly unhappy voice.

Li Jin noticed this and said, "You don't like it?"

Yang Zi shook his head and responded, "It's not that I don't like it but it's more like I am still not ready to handle the pressure and responsibility. It's my first time, you know."

"Stop doubting yourself. I know you can do it. I believe in you." Li Jin looked directly into her dark orbs.

Yang Zi's heart skipped a bit and cleared her throat. "I hope so."

Li Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry. You can always approach me anytime. I am your husband, remember?"

Of course, she knows that. Who would dare to forget this kind of husband?

"Forget it. If I am going to depend on you, I am not going to learn." Yan Zi said honestly.

"Fine, but if you encounter problems in the future that you think you can't handle, do not hesitate to inform me. Okay?" Li Jin said. He just can't let his wife work so much.

Yang Zi nodded and sincerely thanked him.

The couple ate peacefully and afterward, they decided to walk around by the nearby park. They did not worry since only a few people can recognize them, especially Yang Zi. Many people knew the existence of Yang Zi as the heiress of the Imperial Jewels and the Young Miss of the Yang Family, but because she was away for five years from her family's gatherings, only a few can recognize her and only those close people. As for Li Jin, he is a very low profile person. Every time his face appears online, not a minute will pass and it will no longer exist.

"Oh, I forgot to mention about the conditions of our marriage." Yang Zi suddenly said.

"Hmm, have you thought about it already?" Li Jin asked as he looked at her while they were walking.

"Yes. My only condition is that let's not announce our marriage as of now. I am still on the stage of getting to know you and my parents only knew that I have a boyfriend, not a husband. I don't want to give a shock about our flash marriage. Let's just say that during this time, I am learning how to return the feelings to you." Yang Zi said in a serious tone.

Li Jin felt happy inside that she is not rejecting him. It's better to be slow than to be rejected. So, he nodded and said, "Okay. Don't worry, I will be patiently waiting for you." That's what they said, slowly but surely.

Yang Zi smiled in silence. She does not know what heaven's plan is for her love life. No matter what, she will accept it whether this marriage will fail or not. If it fails, then she can blame herself and if not, it would be the best.

"I think it's already late. You must go home now, you might catch a cold after staying outside for too long." Li Jin said as they returned to the parking lot.

Yang Zi nodded and said, "You too. I'll go now." Then she stepped inside her car.

"Hmm, be careful on the road. Text me as soon as you get home." Li Jin said.

"Okay." Yang Zi immediately started the car and drove away. Li Jin watched as the car disappeared from his sight before he walked towards his car.

He was about to step inside when his phone suddenly rang. Li Jin swiftly answered the call.

"Hey Jin, we are at the 1st Avenue Club. Come and join us." A man's voice was heard through the line accompanied by loud music. It was Li Jin's close friend, Mo Yazhe.

"Okay, I'll be there." Li Jin then immediately ended the call and drove his car towards the club.

Li Jin actually has two close friends who grew up together with him. Mo Yazhe is the first one. He is the only son of the Mo Family, one of the country's richest families and they are also known for their connection to the underworld. He is also known as the heir of the Mo Group and the most playful person among their group of friends. The second close to Li Jin is Lu Qingli from the famous Lu Family of the country due to their connection in the military. Most members of the Lu Family serve in the military, but Lu Qingli decided not to because he loves treating people, so he became a doctor. He is a neurologist at a famous hospital in the city and he is also the family physician of the Li Family. Lu Qingli is a serious and easy-going person.

Li Jin arrived at the bar wearing his usual emotionless face.

"Oh Jin, you're here." Mo Yazhe immediately handed him a glass of wine.

"What's the matter? Why are you guys here?" Li Jin asked.

"Nothing. It's been a long time since we hung out together. Lu Qingli is not busy, so we decided to come here." Mo Yazhe said, and then he emptied his glass of wine and poured another again.

Li Jin nodded and drank his wine.

"How was work, Li Jin?" Lu Qingli asked.

"Everything's doing well. How about the two of you? I heard that Uncle Mo's car was ambushed the other day. I was not able to call you because I had an urgent matter to attend to." Li Jin asked Mo Yazhe.

Mo Yazhe smiled and said, "They are fine. Just some old thugs that were paid by my father's enemy a long time ago. I guess that person must be really broke now since he decided to hire lousy thugs to ambush my Dad's car."

"It's good that he is okay. You too, you should be careful." Li Jin said.

"By the way, I am a married man now." Li Jin added with a smile on his face.

Mo Yazhe and Lu Qingli were shocked.

"Really?"

"Really, who? Is it the Young Miss of the Yang Family?"

Of course, they knew the existence of Yang Zi since they are like real brothers. Even their skeletons in their closet were not hidden from each other.

Li Jin just nodded and took another sip from his wine. "You should prepare for our wedding gift."

Lu Qingli almost spits his drink. "Come on, man. Both of you already have everything you want. The combination of Mo's and Lu's assets can't even be compared to the Yangs and Lis."

Mo Yazhe nodded in agreement, "Right, Qingli is right. I mean, you can certainly give everything."

"Are you not going to be embarrassed meeting her soon without any gift? As the famous Young Masters in the city, you should give us our wedding gift." Li Jin calmly said.

Is this man serious? Both of them thought the same.

"Fine. I will think of a good gift for sister-in-law." Mo Yazhe said.

Hearing these words made Li Jin's lips curved upwards. Mo Yazhe and Lu Qingli were surprised. The day finally came that their aloof brother is smiling because of a woman. It is a rare sight to see!

"When are you going to let us meet her, Jin?" Lu Qingli asked.

"I will ask her opinion first. She's currently busy because she is now the Acting CEO of Imperial Jewels. I will tell you as soon as she agrees. And by the way, keep our marriage a secret to outsiders." Li Jin reminded his friends.

Mo Yazhe nodded his head as well as Lu Qingli. They did not bother to ask why because it's a matter between a married couple. They would not understand it either because they are still single.

"You should settle down too. You are not young anymore." Li Jin said to his friends.

Mo Yazhe coughed and said, "Nah! I don't want to be tied down right now. I still want to enjoy and explore life."

"Me too. Besides, being a doctor is very busy work. I don't have time for this kind of matter." Lu Qingli said.

"Up to you. One day, you will realize that being married is not bad." Li Jin said with a smile that sent goosebumps to his two friends.

Geez, it seems like their brother is head over heels with his wife.
