“I heard you guys never celebrate your wedding anniversary,” Qiao Man suddenly changed the subject.
“How did you discover that?”
“If my guess is correct, I think Mr. Roborts is preparing a surprise for you,” Qiao Man said with her arms crossed. “Sorry, I’m not good at keeping secrets.”
Emma giggled and raised an eyebrow.
For her, every day was an anniversary; there was no need to celebrate anything. After being married for so many years, the couple barely spent time apart. This was already the best gift. All she wanted was to spend the rest of her life with Eric.
Even so, Emma had to admit that she felt a little excited after hearing what Qiao Man said.
But, Eric did not give away any clues.
Even when their anniversary arrived two days later, he was still consumed in filming. In fact, he seemed busier than before and barely had time to speak a word to his wife. It seemed, he had actually forgotten their anniversary. How could he have time to prepare a surprise?
With this thought, Emma laughed at herself. How could she have actually taken Qiao Man’s words seriously?
But, she had no idea that Eric was working so tirelessly because he was trying to free up some time.
So, that night, while Emma was asleep, he directly carried her straight onto a plane to France.
It wasn’t until she woke up that she discovered she was already on a plane.
“What’s happening? Where are we going?”
Eric hugged her and said gently, “You’ve been my wife for so many years, but you’ve never had a proper holiday.”
“But, you can’t just take me away like this,” Emma said helplessly as she looked at her pajamas.
“I’ve prepared a fresh set of clothes for you. You can get changed when we land.”
“Is this your supposed surprise?”
“Huh?”
Seeing that Eric didn’t understand what she was talking about, Emma shook her head and replied, “It’s nothing. I’m going to go get changed.”
“Go ahead.”
Eric did not say a word nor did he tell Emma where they were going after they landed, she simply followed him in a clueless manner. After getting out of the plane and boarding a car, she didn’t even know where the final destination was.
It was only when they arrived and she stood in front of a particular building that she finally understood where they were. This was where she walked her first runway as a model and the place that launched her career.
At that time, she was only in her early twenties.
“Why are we here?”
“To watch a show,” Eric replied before he held her hand and dragged her into the building. “I’ve booked the entire venue today and prepared an outfit for you. I want to see you walk on the runway again.”
“But, I’ve already forgotten how to do it.”
“This is an instinctive thing. You can’t possibly forget it,” Eric said as he looked at her. He then led her to the backstage and handed her over to a fashion designer who was waiting for her.
“Mrs. Roberts, I’ve been waiting a long time for you.”
Emma had no idea what Eric had planned, but she instinctively allowed the fashion designer to take down her measurements.
Afterwards, the designer disappeared into the backstage, presumably to adjust the outfit she prepared. A few minutes later, she returned with an outfit on a rack. As soon as Emma saw it, she was stunned.
This wasn’t just a simple outfit, it was something she had worn in the past.
The silver mermaid dress was a dazzling reminder of the supermodel that once was.
“Let’s put it on,” the designer suggested. “I’m sure, even after all these years, this dress will still look beautiful on you!”
“Would you believe it if I told you that this is the exact same dress you once wore?”
Emma was surprised by this.
“It took Mr. Roborts a long time to find it!”
It had already been over a decade; Emma couldn’t even remember the exact amount of years. But, she suddenly felt like she had returned to her youth and was looking at the woman that she once was.
“Are you ready? It’s time to head on stage.”
As Emma put on the dress, the supermodel vibe once again returned to her body. She simply nodded her head like she did during her prime, when she had to prove herself to everyone below the stage with her walk. But, the difference this time was, the entire venue only had one member of the audience: Eric.
Eric looked at her from a distance and imagined that she was the young girl from the past who stepped onto the runway full of hope…
As the music started playing, Emma walked down the runway with confidence, and when she reached the end, she struck a pose like she used to.
After she was done, Eric walked onto the runway and wr*pped her in his arms tightly, not leaving the tiniest gap bet**en their bodies.
“Why did you organize this?”
“I wanted to see how you were before you met me!” Eric said gently. “I wanted to see how beautiful you looked the first time you stepped onto the international runway…”
“That was nothing. It was only after I met you that I truly found myself!” Emma p**ssed her l*ps against Eric’s and the couple entwined in a passionate k**s atop the stage. “I once dreamed of being worthy of you, so I tried really hard and worked tirelessly towards that goal. I even asked myself numerous times whether I was worthy yet.”
After hearing this, Eric assured her with a firm answer, “Of course you are, you are my Queen!”
For quite some time, Qian Lan’s workmate had been attempting to organize a blind date for her. The target of this date was a high school physics teacher from the building next door; a young man in his early twenties that went by the name of – Zichen.
His height was more perfect than a model’s and his appearance was more attractive than a celebrity’s. But, rumors claimed that this young man came from a very poor family background.
If that wasn’t the case, then why did he always dress in the same black suit and same boring black-framed glasses?
Qian Lan had run into this man in the past; his face was indeed attractive, but his actions weren’t very interesting.
However, her friends insisted on pairing them together. So, she gave them some face and agreed to meet with him. To be honest, others did not have a good imp**ssion of the young man, but Qian Lan was surprisingly pleased by him.
After all, he was gentle, good looking and he appeared quite frugal, even though he didn’t talk much. Qian Lan was surprised that, in this day and age, there was still a man that knew how to manage his money.
“Miss Qian, you are the first woman to sit opposite me for more than 5 minutes in silence without storming off in anger,” Zichen laughed. His face was so exquisite that it was practically perfect.
“You’re also the first frugal man I’ve met, who’s still in his early twenties,” Qian Lan replied with a giggle.
“Hello, I’m Zichen, a high school physics teacher.”
“I’m Qian Lan, a primary school english teacher.”
The two quickly fell silent again, but it wasn’t an awkward silence. After all, Qian Lan was well known for being a bit strange herself. She didn’t like men that looked too showy and especially disliked men that bragged.
Not only was Zichen not sleazy at all, he even felt a bit cold and aloof as though he was purposely making people forget his existence.
Qian Lan liked his low profile personality.
“Will we get the chance to meet again?” Qian Lan asked straightforwardly.
“Sure, when I have no class, I’m usually quite free.”
The first meeting bet**en the two was so plain and simple that it made others sleepy just by looking at it. Qian Lan’s friend had been monitoring the date from a hidden spot, so, as soon as Zichen left, she yawned and approached Qian Lan, “That guy was much too boring. Forget about it, we’ll introduce you to someone else. It’s just a shame that he was so good looking.”
“No, I’m interested in him!” Qian Lan giggled.
“What?” her friend cried in surprise. “Qian Lan, is there something wrong with your brain? I don’t expect you to find a tall, rich and handsome guy, but at least find someone that’s normal. Look at Zichen, he looks like a weirdo from head to toe. What do you like about him?”
“You need to think it over carefully, Miss Mayor’s Daughter. Although you didn’t rely on your parents to get to where you are, you can’t be so shabby. Look at your older sister, she married some kinda MIT professor who recently opened his own laboratory. Do you want to lose to her?”
“There are actually plenty of choices at the school. It’s just that you won’t reveal your identity. If you did, plenty of men would throw themselves at you!”
Qian Lan brushed away her friends arm and laughed, “As long as I like him, why does it matter what others say?”
“Oh you, I really don’t understand what you’re thinking.”
“Fine, since you like him, I’ll get his phone number for you. There’s no need to thank me!”
As a result, Qian Lan got a hold of Zichen’s phone number. But, she was too afraid to contact him because she was afraid he would find it too sudden. She was, after all, a woman, so she didn’t really want to be the initiator.
After returning home, one of the maids approached and said, “Second Miss, the Big Miss is waiting for you with the Madam.”
“OK,” Qian Lan changed into a pair of sl*ppers and walked into the dining room. She then sat down at her usual seat on the dining table.
“Qian Lan, your father’s found you a few young and capable men, when will you have time to meet with them?” Mother Qian asked as she held back a smile.
“Mom, I want to find someone myself.”
“No, I don’t trust your judgment. Look at what a great husband your sister’s found. Your father and I simply want to find someone to take good care of our little princess.”
Qian Lan revealed an awkward smile, but she did not say a word nor look at her sister.
Soon, her so-called brother-in-law came downstairs. But, Qian Lan simply greeted him timidly and left the dining table.
“That child’s getting more and more bad mannered.”
“Mom, it’s fine,” the man quickly comforted Mother Qian before he sat down beside his wife.
This man’s name was Xu Chunhao. He was once Qian Lan’s school senior who she also dated for two years. However, Xu Chunhao ended up going overseas, and when he finally returned, he somehow turned into her brother-in-law.
From that moment on, Qian Lan no longer expected too much from men. She simply wanted someone that was honest and low key; someone like Zichen.
It seemed, Xu Chunhao found her sister was more mature and successful.
That night, Xu Chunhao came knocking on Qian Lan’s door and walked in like he was there to give her honest advice, “Mom’s only doing this for your own good. She wants you to meet some good men.”
“If I find a good man, I’m sure you’ll be put in a difficult position,” Qian Lan laughed. “If there’s nothing else, please leave. I still need to prepare for my class tomorrow.”
There was nothing that Xu Chunhao could do. So, he simply left the room.
The only reason why Qian Lan’s sister wasn’t jealous was because she knew her husband was going into Qian Lan’s room to show off.
After all, it was impossible for Qian Lan to find someone better.
