BXBX NOVEL Chapter 87 REUNION PART 11
"Oh, yeah, you are right. I don’t. You are observant. I like it." Xue Lin praised him before going back to the main topic, "Well, I did tell her it wasn’t needed, but she forced me."
"When is the reunion?" He asked casually. He didn’t want to look like he was trying to pry but he was.
She answered, "On coming Saturday."
Ge Chen noticed her calmness and asked, "You don’t look very excited."
"Because I’m not. I’m nervous though. I left without telling anyone anything. I’m not sure how to act in front of them. They are going to ask me a lot of questions which... I don’t want to answer." ’And I don’t want to remember.’ Xue Lin clenched her fists subconsciously.
"You can skip it if you want to." Ge Chen suggested.
"...Yes... I know..." Xue Lin sighed. She changed the subject saying, "Where did you learn how to cook?"
Ge Chen didn’t pursue the matter any further. He replied, "When I was in the Mu Mansion, I asked the cook to teach me how to cook. I was alone and I thought it would be better to learn how to cook."
Xue Lin wasn’t surprised to hear this. She was somewhat expecting this. She said, "But your cooking doesn’t resemble his."
Ge Chen looked at her in astonishment. "You can differentiate by tasting!"
"Aren’t your wife amazing?" Xue Lin’s eyes glowed. She was definitely asking for some compliments.
"You are brilliant." Ge Chen chuckled. Sometimes, his wife was very childish and innocent despite her poker face and venomous mouth.

On Saturday, Xue Lin wore the baby blue gown and looked at herself through the mirror. She thought about the saleswoman who tied her hair into a bun. "Alas! I can’t do that hairstyle." She walked out of the closet and slammed hard with Ge Chen. Ge Chen was holding an ink pot. It fell from his hand and the ink spread on her beautiful dress.
Xue Lin didn’t fall. She quickly grabbed the wooden beam of the door and balanced herself. She looked pro at this.
However, Ge Chen still hugged her waist quickly so that she wouldn’t fall. He didn’t think that she could balance herself. She was quick-witted at that. His other hand holding the ink pot and his hand were covered with black ink.
But the dress...
Xue Lin glared at Ge Chen. "Thank you very much for ruining fifty thousand RMB!"
Ge Chen bowed deeply. "I’m very sorry." He already washed his hand.
"So, what were you doing with the ink pot? And why did you have to come to the closet with that?" Xue Lin wanted to eat him alive but she restrained herself thinking, ’There is no reason for damaging a relationship for an object. An object- no matter how expensive and precious it is, it’s never more important than a relationship.’
"I wanted to keep it in the closet." Ge Chen replied. Both of their clothes were in the same closet. One side, Ge Chen put his stuff and the other side was used by Xue Lin. It was big enough to occupy all of their clothes, accessories, jewelry, and shoes.
Xue Lin looked at the dress and thought about the money. She sighed deeply. "Alright, I get it. As compensation, help to choose a dress for the party. The venue is X Hotel. I have to wear something formal."
"X Hotel... I know the perfect dress for you." Ge Chen walked to the closet.
Xue Lin quickly changed her dress and wore the jewelry her husband told her to. She looked at the mirror and asked, "What should I do about the hair?"
"Can I tie it for you?" Ge Chen asked.
She looked at him doubtfully. She asked him back, "Can you do it?"
"I think I can do better than you." Ge Chen smiled.
After she got ready, Ge Chen personally took her to the hotel. It was indeed a luxurious hotel. It was one of the top five-star hotels in B City. Ge Chen said, "I’ll be around here. If you want to leave, just call me."
"Alright." Xue Lin nodded. She looked paler than usual.
Ge Chen took her hand and gave it a slight squeeze. "If anything happens or you don’t feel like staying, call me. I’ll be there in no time."
Xue Lin forced a smile. "I’m just nervous, that’s all."
Ge Chen tried to joke. "You are acting like you are going to the war for the first time and I’m the General who is sending you to the suicide mission."
"Ahahaha..." Xue Lin laughed. It was the first time he saw her laughing. He stared at her without moving an inch. "I’m going bow. Bye."
"Bye." After she left, Ge Chen leaned against the seat and sighed. "She looks too beautiful. Does she realize that? I don’t want her to go there alone." Remembering her laugh, his heart tingled. "I don’t want her to laugh like that in front of the boys... no, girls are dangerous too."
