The Stars In Your Eyes - Chapter 191

Bai Yuren and YingYing went back to W city, and time went by smoothly. Soon the autumn will arrive at the door once again.

Bai Yutang’s team at the office got another new project. Previously Bai Yutang was joined in the middle of the project, now he had a chance to fully participate in a project. From the bidding until the client announced they won the project.

After Bai Yuren went back to W city, Bai Yutang was busy involved in this project. Usually Bai Yutang reaches home earlier, but until August is almost over, when the summer’s weather gradually fades like a softly sung hymn welcoming the autumn sister to come, he often stays late in the office.

At this time, Jian Kang Lu often picked his kitten after his practice finished. They will go home together, have their dinner in a simple restaurant or nearby food stall. Bai Yutang felt bad about it, but Jian Kang Lu insisted on picking him up.

For Jian Kang Lu, even though he knows his kitten is a man who is not as vulnerable as a delicate young girl, he can’t ease his mind if he thinks his kitten needs to ride a bus or taxi alone at 10 pm at night..

Who knows someone crazy will harass his kitten, or worse, robbed and kidnapped his precious kitten. This is why Jian Kang Lu thought hard day and night, how to make his kitten accept him to buy another car for his kitten and hired a driver.

He asked his friends in the group.

Jian Kang Lu : [How to make your wife accept a car as a gift, driver included?]

Sun Hongjia : [My wife already has a car and driver before we married. After marriage, she only needs to choose which car she wants to use.]

Jian Kang Lu looked at his phone, too lazy to reply. Sun Hongjia has 8 cars. This is already a humble and low key number for a man like him. Jian Kang Lu decided to wait for another normal answer.

Zhen Guo : [Brother, the question is supposed to be “Which car colour you need to buy to avoid third world war in your bedroom.”]

Jian Kang Lu silently recalled a few years ago, Zhen Guo lamented that his wife gave him silent treatment because he bought the wrong car. It’s a simple black Lexus, while Luo Jiao claimed she already gave a thousand hints that she wanted a white car.

Luo Yan : [My answer is the same with Hongjia. The only difference was that my wife held all our accounts, so it was precisely up to her which car she wanted to buy. No need to declare world war in the bedroom.]

Zhen Guo cursed when he saw Luo Yan’s answer. He still remembers Luo Yan sprinkled the salt over his wound when he depressed on coaxing Luo Jiao to accept that black Lexus. The incident that time was wrapped with him selling his own car, using the black lexus for himself, while the money from his old car used to buy a white BMW.

Sun Hongjia : [Is this for TangTang?]

The other three people silently look at their phone. They sometimes wonder how Sun Hongjia’s brain works. Clearly he was a very good businessman who worthy the name of Sun family, but why he need to ask this stupid question.

Jian Kang Lu : [Do i have another wife?]

Sun Hongjia : [You don’t have a wife at all. You have a boyfriend. You’re not married yet.]

Sun Hongjia : [Finger wrapped with wedding ring.JPG]

Jian Kang Lu decided to ignore this bastard and went to ask his peers. It’s useless to ask his friends. “Yang Haoyu, my brother wants to give a car to his wife, but his wife rejects it. How to make the wife accept?”

Yang Haoyu surprised, “Is there any wife who rejects her husband’s gift? Is the car too shabby? Just give her a better car, or ask which car she wants. Gifting the wrong car could lead to a third world war in your bedroom.”

Zhao Yang just came and sat in his chair, he couldn’t help to join the conversation. “Yes, that’s right. If the car is too shabby, your wife will definitely raise the war flag. It couldn’t be a cheap car or else she will be ashamed to use it in front of the other ladies.”

Majority of the top doctors in the country are still dominated by men. The wives of internists built an organisation. This organisation consists of the wives of nephrologist, endocrinologist, rheumatologist, oncologist, and many more. Internists are divided into 11 subspecialties in this country.

Some of their wives are also specialists, which rarely join the organisation. But for the non specialist wife, they usually need to join, which allows them to mingle and pave the career of their husband also.

Some of them will be ashamed if they didn’t present themselves well, which could be seen as their husband is not successful enough, or not loving them enough. Unless you’re the wives of the department’s head, or professor’s wife, you need to represent the best of your whole appearance from head to toe on their bi monthly meeting.

Hearing his colleagues now keep talking about their incidence of buying the wrong car, Jian Kang Lu now believes that this topic was included in the top 10 of major third world war causes.

He gave up. None of the people in his circle could give proper advice. So in the end he just diligently picks up his kitten every day if his kitten is still in the office once Jian Kang Lu finishes his practice.

In the middle of busy life in the office, Bai Yutang went for two major occasions this month. One is Zhong Fan’s wedding in early August. He initially wanted to go with his lover, but unfortunately on that day Jian Kang Lu needed to attend a two days conference as a speaker.

The wedding’s reception is held at noon, which made Jian Kang Lu reluctantly send his kitten alone, to go with his colleague and that damn Mr. Yao. If the reception was held at night, Jian Kang Lu definitely could attend the wedding.

There’s a lot of architects there, from their office and Zhong Fan’s colleague mates. They all come in hoping to find beautiful fairy sisters, who knows love can bloom in this wedding reception?

Zhong Fan’s newly wed wife is working in the video streaming industry. Unfortunately, her working mate is just ordinary humans, unlike those beautiful sisters who work as the streaming host.

Some of the hosts who had a closer relationship with her really came, but they just came to give their red envelope, take a picture, and left. They need to stream everyday, it was too tiring to spend their free time on wedding events.

Not to mention the people who came are not as shining as their own host peers.

Bai Yutang at that time only came and talked with his office mate. None of the architects who came here were known by him. He doesn’t know this event is one turning point in his life in the future.

Second major occasion is the long forgotten promise to his future mother in law. Lin Caihong invited him to accompany her to some occasion on Saturday afternoon. This event was held at the end of August.

Bai Yutang was still busy at that time, but he couldn’t reject his future mother in law. After all the things Lin Caihong did to him, how come he rejected it once again? This led to Bai Yutang work harder three days prior, and Jian Kang Lu waved him goodbye with a sad and dejected face when Lin Caihong picked Bai Yutang at the apartment.

Bai Yutang helplessly looked at his lover and stepped inside the car.

“Stop looking like I abducted your precious pearl. I only borrow him for a few hours.” Lin Caihong said with cold eyes. She still sat inside the car, not even stepping out from it when the car picked Bai Yutang at the apartment’s lobby.

“Why don’t you allow me to come? Are you ashamed of your own son?” Jian Kang Lu even tried to dress himself when he sent Bai Yutang downstairs, hoping his mother would change her mind.

“You’ll only ruin the mood by criticising the event silently. Don’t you tell me last time you’re bored to death and ask me not to ever invite you again to this kind of event?”

After saying that, Lin Caihong ruthlessly told Old Qin, her driver, to close the car window and drive away.

Jian Kang Lu forgot that women are easy to forgive but never forget.

Bai Yutang felt pitiful to look at his lover’s figure getting smaller and smaller, alone and lonely. Suddenly he felt grateful he could accompany his lover for this whole time. He realised how lonely his lover’s life would be if he was not there to accompany him.

And he is also grateful that his lover chose him. How dull is his life without his lover beside him.

Lin Caihong brought him to the high fashion brand event. It’s a small event customised to appreciate their loyal customers. An afternoon tea party, with a famous Guqin master performed in the middle of pagoda above the lake.

This is the C brand which Bai Yuren asked Lin Caihong on Bai Yutang’s graduation day. The brand presented their autumn collection in this luxurious private tea house. Tall and skinny dazzling models walking around them, flattering their beautiful wings.

Bai Yutang didn’t know the price of these clothes. He just admired how this kind of luxurious event was held just to entertain around 200 guests. The invitation is only sent to 100 people, each could bring one companion.

Bai Yutang’s face blushed when Lin Caihong directly introduced him as her son in law. He could see these ladies’ faces shocked and looked at him with curiosity. His voice was so soft when he answered the questions thrown by these ladies.

The hard questions that hit him hard are when these ladies around Lin Caihong ask him, “Which family you came from?” and “Which business you owned?”

He answered it by himself, not letting his mother in law shield him again. He knows he can’t compare with these people’s wealth. But he had a job, and he was proud of his job.

Surprisingly, none of them look down at him. When Bai Yutang told them he works as a junior architect assistant at F firm, they told him that they will definitely contact that firm if they need an architect.

This event is not only attended by ladies, but men also. Some of them are a bit feminine, yet so handsome and stylish. Bai Yutang will cry inside if he knew the shocked face these ladies come from is not only when they realise Lin Caihong’s son is a cutsleeve, but also because Bai Yutang’s appearance and demeanour is very different from these cutsleeves in the fashion’s circle.

Lin Caihong directly ordered two autumn coats, one pair of dark blue tweed jacket and skirt, and one bag.

The sales attendant who took her order tried to increase her sales record, “Mrs. Lin, you don’t want to order this jacket for your son in law? His appearance is so clean and gentle, very handsome. And he looked so young, very fresh! Your son really knows how to choose his partner. This grey checkered tweed jacket perfectly suits him! Low key, yet so warm for autumn weather, and very stylish. I heard he works as an architect, right? This is suitable for him to wear to the office and for semi-formal occasions. This also perfectly matched our new black shoes with white stripes. Look at this.” The sales attendant summoned two male models out of nowhere to show the two items he just talked about.

Bai Yutang now knows the differences between a sales attendant in an ordinary clothing store and one from a high fashion brand. They suddenly know all about him, from his name to which place he worked and which town he comes from.

Lin Caihong softly laughed at the sales attendant, a young handsome man. “Ah Wei, you really were born with a silver tongue. Okay then, I believe in your taste. This one grey jacket and one shoes.”

“How about the working bag? Black one is the perfect pair for the shoes!”

Bai Yutang hurriedly rejected this one, “No need mother. Gege just bought me a new working bag this month.”

Even though the sales attendant was a bit disappointed, it didn’t show at all. His perfect smile still plastered when he scheduled the appointment for Lin Caihong and Bai Yutang to fit their ordered clothes.

A few weeks later when Bai Yutang comes with Lin Caihong for fitting, he almost vomits blood when he knows the price for his jacket is more than 35.000 yuan. In this regard, he finally knows where his lover’s habit of giving him gifts comes from, and is really grateful that his lover is not as extreme as his mother in law.
