The phone rang. It was Lu Heng.
" Xinyan, where are you? Why haven't you come back from manager Zhang yet?"
"I'm at the entrance of Lingyun Club; I forgot my umbrella."
"Don't move, I'll come to get you right away."
Soon, a Bentley pulled up in front of me.
Lu Heng got out, holding an umbrella, his suit still impeccably neat.
"It's pouring rain; what will you do if you catch a cold?"
He gently wiped the raindrops off my face with concern.
"Lu Heng," I looked directly into his eyes.
"Do you remember what you said when we first met?"
He paused for a moment, then smiled and replied, "I remember, I said we'd leave when the rain lightens up."
"No," I shook my head, "you said you were used to working overtime."
His smile froze on his face.
" manager Lu," I emphasized the title.
"The young master of Lu Group shouldn't be accustomed to working overtime, right?"
The birthday banquet
The 50th anniversary celebration of Lu Group happened to fall on Lu Heng's birthday.
I stood on the terrace, watching the socialites and wealthy businessmen mingling in the hall.
They laughed and raised their glasses in celebration.
No one knew that the Young Mistress of the Lu Family, who had yet to be married, wanted to escape at this moment.
"Xinyan, why are you hiding here?"
Lu Heng appeared behind me without my noticing.
Today, he wore a bespoke suit, perfectly embodying what it meant to have a noble aura.
Gone was the weary office worker I had seen at the convenience store.
"I’m not used to this kind of occasion."
"It will be over soon," he said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. "There’s a surprise coming up."
Sure enough, halfway through the banquet, a gigantic gift box was wheeled out.
"This is a special gift for Manager Lu," the host announced with a smile.
As the gift box opened, a woman in a white gown elegantly stepped out.
The moment she turned around, my heart skipped a beat.
She looked just like Lin Wan from the photos, as if she were carved from the same mold.
Applause and gasps filled the room.
Lu Heng's gaze suddenly became intense.
"My name is Su Wei, and I am a ballet dancer from Lingyun Art Academy." The woman executed a graceful spin.
Lu Heng took the initiative to invite her to dance.
As they twirled amidst the clinking of glasses, their chemistry was as if they had known each other for years.
I stood by the champagne tower, watching the bubbles in the crystal glass burst one by one.
" manager Lu and Miss Su are truly a perfect match."
"I heard she was chosen based on Miss Lin's appearance."
" Miss Lin was manager Lu's first love..."
The whispers around me felt like sharp daggers.
I raised my champagne glass and downed it in one go.
I lost count of how many drinks I had consumed. Looking at the champagne tower, a symbol of wealth and power, I suddenly laughed.
"Boom—"
The golden liquid traced a beautiful arc in the air, and the sound of shattering crystal was crisp and delightful.
Everyone froze in shock.
Lu Heng released Su Wei's hand and strode over.
His gaze was colder than ever.
I raised my head and met those amber eyes. " manager Lu, happy birthday."
The atmosphere in the study was chillingly tense.
"You've disappointed me greatly," Lu Heng's voice was as cold as ice.
"I will hire a etiquette teacher to instruct you," he continued, "to be my wife, Lu Heng, requires a lot of learning."
I looked down at the ring on my fourth finger.
The six-carat diamond sparkled blindingly under the light.
At the engagement ceremony a year ago, this ring had sent shockwaves through the upper echelons of society.
Yet even now, we hadn't even obtained our marriage certificate.
"No need," I said as I removed the ring. "I don't deserve to be Mrs. Lu."
The ring fell onto the carpet with a soft thud.
