Chapter 478: Chapter 451 Candlelight Dinner

"Brother-in-law, just tell us about it," Lin Xiaoxiao cooed.

"Alright, but you see, your brother-in-law has been standing for quite some time and my legs are a bit tired."

"Oh, how can I let my brother-in-law get tired? Come on, come on, have a seat," Lin Xiaoxiao quickly pulled Li Chen to sit down on the sofa.

"I’m a bit thirsty," Li Chen mentioned, pinching his throat.

"Okay, brother-in-law, what would you like to drink? Orange juice, Coke, Sprite, milk tea?" Lin Xiaoxiao sounded just like a restaurant waitress.

"I’ll just settle for a milk tea for now."

"Got it."

Lin Xiaoxiao trotted to the kitchen and brought back the milk tea.

"Brother-in-law, can you tell the story now?" Lin Xiaoxiao batted her eyelashes, her pretty face full of anticipation.

"Well, as I stepped onto that stage..." Li Chen began to recount the tale.

...

After Li Chen had finished his story, by evening, Lin Yi had also returned home.

"Sis!"

Lin Xiaoxiao’s excitement hadn’t worn off yet.

"Xiaoxiao, what’s making you so happy?" Lin Yi laughed.

Li Chen glanced over from the sofa; Lin Yi was wearing a very ordinary dress today, the kind that’s short and simple but tailored. Coupled with her mature and charming aura, she was utterly bewitching to Li Chen.

Look at that, this is my woman.

Li Chen felt a surge of pride.

After chatting with Xiaoxiao for a while, Lin Yi came over and tenderly kissed Li Chen on the forehead, "I’m back."

Li Chen’s heart warmed, and he smiled gently, "Sorry to have worried you."

Their relationship now felt as stable and harmonious as that of a couple who had been together for a decade; Li Chen didn’t know why, but he always felt at peace when he was with Lin Yi.

"Tonight I’ll cook. Let’s make a candlelit dinner together as a treat for you," Lin Yi said playfully, winking.

"Yes, yes," Lin Xiaoxiao clapped her hands, "Sis, I’ll help too."

"Xiaoxiao, you’d better keep Li Chen company; just leave the cooking to me," Lin Yi said, "I’ve learned quite a bit from Aunt Wang."

Li Chen couldn’t help but chuckle; was his beautiful wife implying that her little sister’s cooking skills were subpar?

Time passed in that warm atmosphere, and soon a steaming hot dinner was ready. They had carefully placed candles on the dinner table and turned off the lights.

"Cheers!"

The three of them clinked glasses, then sipped on red wine.

"Mmm, Sis, this is delicious," Lin Xiaoxiao commented while eating the steak Lin Yi had cooked, clearly conquered by the taste.

Li Chen also took a bite and immediately gave a thumbs up, "Wife, you’re incredible."

The off-topic three enjoyed their candlelit dinner, which was extremely warm and romantic.

"Husband, when I went to the wine cellar to get a bottle earlier, I found many of the bottles were empty," Lin Yi remarked.

Li Chen felt a bit embarrassed; that Ginseng Doll sure could drink, huh?

"No worries, we can just buy some more next time. By the way, your company isn’t having any problems, right?" Li Chen quickly changed the subject.

"Yeah, it’s fine. Our sales are on track to double this year, and our income will be much higher," Lin Yi said with a slight smile. Looking at Li Chen, she was reminded of the early days when they first met.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but smile at the thought. It was indeed fate; if it weren’t for her company’s crisis, she would never have taken on that strange assignment and wouldn’t have had a fake marriage with Li Chen, let alone the loving relationship they had now.

It seemed that a financial crisis at her company had actually led her to true love.

"What are you smiling about, wife?" Li Chen asked with a light smile, serving her some food.

"Sis, brother-in-law, can you stop flaunting your love in front of me?" Lin Xiaoxiao protested fiercely.

"Alright, Xiaoxiao, I’ll serve you too," Li Chen chuckled.

...

The next day, Li Chen accompanied Lin Yi to the company. As soon as they entered, the employees looked at Li Chen with admiration.

Some staff members even came up to ask for autographs, but it was much less chaotic than the day before.

Li Chen smiled and signed autographs for everyone, and after addressing that, he proceeded to the lab.
