As Qin Xuan was about to leave, he heard Tantai Yue's voice from behind.
"Qin Xuan, are you going to the press conference this afternoon?"
"Press conference? What press conference?" Qin Xuan turned around. Tantai Yue, in a white evening gown, descended the stairs.
The white gown, coupled with a pair of silver-white high heels, instantly enhanced Tantai Yue's elegance.
"Tantai..." Qin Xuan couldn't help but be mesmerized.
Since he met Tantai Yue, he had never seen her dress like this. She easily outshone those top-tier female celebrities!
Noticing Qin Xuan's gaze, Tantai Yue blushed and lowered her head, saying shyly,
"Qin Xuan, why are you staring at me like that?"
"Ahem!" Qin Xuan's old face flushed, and he coughed twice.
"Tantai, you're too beautiful. Being able to marry you in this lifetime is a blessing I've accumulated over eight lifetimes."
"You're such a flatterer."
"Right, are you going to the press conference this afternoon?" Tantai Yue suddenly remembered the important matter and quickly asked.
"Yes, of course I am!"
Qin Xuan had initially planned to find Dan Bende in the afternoon to help him sell the remaining three Longevity Pills in his hand. But upon seeing Tantai Yue's attire, he immediately decided to go.
With such a beautiful wife, attending the press conference would surely attract the envious gazes of countless men.
As the saying goes, you're not afraid of a thief who steals, but a thief who covets. Therefore, Qin Xuan decided to accompany Tantai Yue and act as her protector.
Hearing Qin Xuan say he would go, Tantai Yue's heart leaped with joy, and she quickly turned and ran upstairs.
"Qin Xuan, wait for me."
In no time, Tantai Yue came bounding downstairs, holding a set of clothes. Running too fast in high heels, she missed a step, lost her balance, and tumbled down the stairs.
"Ah!"
"Tantai!" Qin Xuan exclaimed in alarm. He leaped forward, extending his hands. Tantai Yue fell directly into Qin Xuan's embrace. They tumbled in mid-air twice before landing together on the sofa.
Because of the tight embrace, their lips accidentally met.
Tantai Yue and Qin Xuan's eyes widened.
Qin Xuan was startled. Just as he was about to get up, Tantai Yue suddenly reached out and held him, preventing him from moving.
The next moment, Qin Xuan was stunned, for Tantai Yue's tender tongue had already pried open his lips...
Half an hour later, Qin Xuan slightly lifted his head.
They both opened their eyes and looked at each other.
After three years of marriage, they had finally shared their first kiss and tasted the sweetness of love.
Qin Xuan looked at the demure Tantai Yue and said with lingering desire,
"Tantai, can I have another..."
"No!" Tantai Yue refused without a second thought.
Qin Xuan's face fell with disappointment. Tantai Yue suddenly added,
"Not now, the press conference is about to start. We'll do it tonight when we get back..." Her face turned as red as an apple as she said this.
Qin Xuan's reaction was that of an excited child.
"Then let's hurry! We'll go and come back early."
Tantai Yue gave him a charming eye-roll.
"You rogue."
"Hehe." Qin Xuan grinned foolishly.
"Wife, you're the best."
"Alright, get off me quickly. Don't wrinkle my dress. I finally bought this on sale. If it gets damaged, I won't be able to attend today."
"Oh, okay." Qin Xuan quickly got up and helped Tantai Yue to her feet.
Their movements became even more intimate after the passionate kiss.
Tantai Yue handed Qin Xuan the suit she was holding and said,
"Here, the clothes I prepared for you."
Qin Xuan took the clothes with surprise. This was the first time Tantai Yue had given him anything.
He was astonished when he saw the brand of the suit.
"Tantai, isn't this Anima suit a new arrival from a while ago? It's limited edition, costing over two hundred thousand. Where did you buy it?"
Along with his surprise, there was a sense of gratitude.
Tantai Yue's evening gown and high heels only cost a few thousand yuan, and she had bought them on sale.
When she was buying them, Qin Xuan had wanted her to buy something more expensive, but she didn't even glance at anything over ten thousand yuan, saying they were all just clothes and it didn't matter what they cost as long as they were wearable.
Yet, today she was gifting him a suit worth over two hundred thousand yuan!
Qin Xuan felt like crying. Such a wonderful woman, and he had misunderstood her, even hurt her heart. He was truly a scoundrel!
"Tantai!" Qin Xuan excitedly hugged Tantai Yue.
Tantai Yue smiled and patted Qin Xuan's back.
"Come on, you're a grown man, stop crying. Hurry and change, we're going to be late."
Wang Yuyan, to help Tantai Yue boost her company's reputation, had specifically organized a product launch event at the Qixiang Club in Jiangbei, inviting most of the business magnates in the region.
After their intimate time at home, Qin Xuan and Tantai Yue arrived when the press conference was about to begin.
They got out of the taxi and hurried to the entrance of Qixiang Club.
Two women in qipaos at the entrance stopped them.
"Sir, Madam, the press conference at Qixiang Club has already started and is no longer accepting guests."
Tantai Yue quickly explained,
"We're here to attend the press conference. We were just delayed by traffic. Speaking of which, Tantai Yue couldn't help but glance at Qin Xuan, as if to say, would we be late if it weren't for you, you rascal?
Qin Xuan scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
Could he be blamed for this? Who asked her to have such a sweet mouth?
"Then please show your invitation," one of the qipao-clad women requested.
"Ah, right, the invitation." Tantai Yue quickly turned to Qin Xuan and asked,
"Qin Xuan, did you bring the invitation from the table?"
"Invitation? What invitation?" Qin Xuan indicated that he didn't know about any invitation.
"Ah!" Tantai Yue became anxious.
"Qin Xuan, I thought you got it!"
The two qipao ladies smiled dismissively.
They're putting on a good act. They just want to sneak in, right?
Which of the people invited were not influential figures in Jiangbei City? Who would arrive by taxi?
Tantai Yue, seeing that the press conference was about to start, pleaded with them,
"I really forgot the invitation. I am the Chairman of Hongyan Company. Can you make an exception?"
The taller qipao-clad lady let out a mocking laugh.
"Hahaha, if you're the Chairman of Hongyan Company, then I'm the Chairman of Wang Group! Don't come up with such a lame excuse to sneak in. Humph, Chairman? A chairman arriving by taxi? And wearing a cheap-looking evening gown?"
Qin Xuan's face darkened instantly. He could tolerate insults directed at himself, but he couldn't stand it when they insulted Tantai Yue.
If they weren't at Ren Qixiang's establishment, Qin Xuan would have lost his temper long ago.
It was the peak hour for traffic at noon, so it was bound to be congested. That's why Qin Xuan and Tantai Yue had taken a taxi; after all, taxi drivers were more familiar with the routes. Yet, they weren't even allowed through the gate.
Just then, a striking figure appeared at the club's entrance.
"Qin Xuan, why haven't you gone in yet?"
