"Tomorrow I'm not going to work, no need to face clients and act like a subservient dog..."
Hearing this song, Lin Xiao couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
He vaguely remembered this song from his middle and high school days; it was all the rage back then. He never expected Luo Qinghan to sing it!
It seemed that the grievances she endured over the past few years at the Luo family's company were all poured into this song.
As the song progressed, her entire demeanor changed. The previous reservedness vanished. Under the shifting stage lights, she truly let loose and began to rock out to the rhythm.
...
The day concluded.
After the concert, Luo Qinghan made a swift exit.
Although many people didn't know who Luo Qinghan was, after her solo concert that afternoon, she had garnered countless fans. Some were already preparing to rush forward for autographs. However, with Lin Xiao present, not long after it ended, Lin Xiao had already whisked Luo Qinghan away from the venue.
"Feeling good?"
Lin Xiao asked, handing her a bottle of mineral water while driving.
"I can't… I can't… No more next times…" Luo Qinghan shook her head, clutching her throat. She took the water from Lin Xiao, her voice slightly hoarse, "Those who sing live are truly amazing. I can't compare…"
"Indeed."
Lin Xiao chuckled to himself, glancing at Luo Qinghan occasionally.
In the evening, he arranged for someone to pick up Luo Bing and Xun'er and bring them home. Since he was on a date with his wife, a nice restaurant for a shared dinner was naturally in order.
The sports car pulled up outside Fulimeng.
Fulimeng was the most upscale and renowned Chinese restaurant in Shashi.
Its fame wasn't solely due to its exquisite taste and ambiance but also because its chef was considered the top culinary artist in the Southern Province, having won championships in national cooking competitions and served at state banquets. The standard was undeniably high.
Lin Xiao had booked a private room well in advance – arranged by Jiang Tao, of course.
"You booked this place? I remember the private rooms are quite difficult to reserve," Luo Qinghan said with surprise, then a wry smile touched her lips.
Lin Xiao was the Dragon King now, so naturally, someone would help him secure a reservation at a place like this.
The two of them proceeded directly to the Foxing private room at Fulimeng.
"Hello, the two of you. May we serve the dishes now?"
After the waiter led them to their seats and prepared the tea, they stood by the side, heads bowed, awaiting instructions.
"Please do," Lin Xiao replied.
"Certainly."
With that, the waiter walked to the door. A trolley was then brought in, carrying a bottle of red wine and a bouquet of flowers.
Lin Xiao stood up, picked up the flowers, and the waiter placed the decanted red wine on the table before leaving the room to give them privacy.
It was then that Lin Xiao pulled out a box. He presented the bouquet of fiery red roses to Luo Qinghan, then knelt on one knee, opening the box in his hand. A pink diamond ring lay nestled within.
"I never formally proposed to you before. That day was like borrowing flowers to offer to a Buddha, but I felt I absolutely had to give you a proper proposal," Lin Xiao said, looking at Luo Qinghan. "Wife, do you regret marrying me?"
Luo Qinghan was taken aback by Lin Xiao's gesture. Holding the flowers, she looked at him, covering her mouth. Seemingly overwhelmed with emotion, she was speechless.
