Song Xing Xing realized that she has underestimated her mother-in-law's enthusiasm for shopping. She ended up accompanying Zhen Wen Yu for two days straight, going from a mall to another.

Her mother-in-law liked going from a shop to another to compare the prices and style. They walked from floor to floor but in the end, they would return to the first shop they went to.

In the morning, her mother-in-law told her that she regretted that she did not buy the bag that she had seen yesterday. In the end, the two went out again. Once she had purchased that bag, her mother-in-law dragged her to another mall that they had not visited before.

Song Xing Xing looked at her mother-in-law's legs and wonder how did she have such stamina?

Of course, Zhen Wen Yu had often accompanied her husband visiting various countries. Because of Lu Jiang's work nature, Zhen Wen Yu was used to walking.

Fortunately, on the second day, they returned home after having lunch together at a cafe.

Song Xing Xing had agreed to accompany Lu Xun to a banquet and she will still need to get ready.

However, once she reached home, Song Xing Xing slammed her body on the bed and fell asleep. She only woke up an hour before Lu Xun was supposed to pick her up.

Song Xing Xing dragged her tired body and went into the bathroom to take a quick shower. She chose an appropriate dress that covered most of her skin.

When Lu Xun walked into their bedroom, Song Xing Xing was putting on a final touch on her makeup. He walked over and watched her through the mirror's reflection.

Their gazes met through the mirror and Song Xing Xing flashed a smile at him.

"How do I look?

"

"Pretty.

" Lu Xun shifted his gaze to appreciate the person in front of him. A second later, his gaze fell on a spot behind her neck.

Knowing that he was the cause of that tiny bluish marks, Lu Xun let out a cough. He combed her long hair with his fingers and covered the mark with them.

"I think you look pretty with your hair like this.

"

Song Xing Xing shot him a puzzled look. She looked at her reflection and thought that he was right.

As long as her husband thought that she was pretty, Song Xing Xing don't really mind however she would wear her hair.

She stood up and frowned at her aching legs.

"Are you alright?

" Lu Xun asked.

"You went out to shop with mom this morning. If you're tired, you should stay at home and rest.

"

"Didn't you tell me that this is the mayor's wife's birthday banquet? How can I let you attend this event alone.

" She held his arms and smiled.

"I'm your wife. Of course, I will attend this banquet with you.

"

Lu Xun leaned over to peck at her forehead.

"I just didn't want you to be too tired.

"

"Then, when we get back, you have to help me massage my legs.

"

He chuckled.

"Alright.

"

The couple headed out together to the banquet.

It was the mayor's wife's birthday banquet and there would be a lot of officials as well as businessmen who would be attending. Everyone was looking forward to getting into the mayor's good book.

This would be the first time that Song Xing Xing had officially accompanied Lu Xun to attend a banquet. Moreover, this time, she had attended as his wife.

Although this was not the first time that she had attended a banquet such as this, Song Xing Xing could not help but feel anxious.

The social circle in Capital City was a little different than Y City.

Once they arrived at the venue, Lu Xun handed his car keys to the valet.

Song Xing Xing held his arms and the couple walked into the hall together.

The moment they entered, the atmosphere in the hall turned quieter. The people turned to the door wanting to look at the newlywed couple who had caused a sensation in Capital City the past few days.

Lu Xun nodded to the others as he led his wife into the hall to meet the mayor and his wife.

Song Xing Xing greeted the couple and wished his wife a happy birthday. Then, she stood beside Lu Xun as the men exchanged a few words.

The mayor shifted his gaze to Song Xing Xing and smiled.

"President Lu, it's good to see you finally have someone beside you. In the past, you always attended alone.

"

"That's right,

" the mayor's wife chimed in.

"This was the first time I've seen you attending a banquet with a plus one.

" She turned to Song Xing Xing and continued,

"I heard that the two of you got your marriage certificate a few days ago. Congratulations.

"

"Thank you.

" Lu Xun nodded.

"Our wedding will be held in Y City this November. Mayor Pei, Madam Pei, I hope that the two of you will attend our wedding.

"

"Of course.

" The Mayor nodded enthusiastically.

Seeing that there were still a few people that they needed to talk to, the mayor and his wife excused themselves and reminded them to enjoy the banquet.

"Your relationship with the mayor looks pretty good,

" Song Xing Xing whispered as Lu Xun led her to the buffet table.

"It's alright.

" Lu Xun swept his gaze on the buffet table and saw prawn dishes. The corner of his lips tilted up, knowing that this was his wife's favorite food.

Song Xing Xing narrowed her eyes as she looked at her husband. She leaned closer and whispered.

"Why do I feel as if the Mayor is being too polite to you?

"

Lu Xun laughed.

"You think so?

" He picked up an empty plate ad raised a brow.

"Would you like some prawns?

"

"Are you not going to tell me anything?

"

Lu Xun exhaled softly.

"You should have heard about the Qi's family in Y City.

"

"They are related to your friend, Zhang Yu Han, right?

" Song Xing Xing recalled that Zhang Yu Han's grandmother was from that prestigious family.

The Qi family was a military family. Song Xing Xing had met Grandpa Qi a few times in the past and thought that the man was too scary. His grandson, Qi Ming Wei, was trained to take over the family's position. It was said that this man was still unmarried.

"The Qi family had their influence in Capital City. Because of Zhang Yu Han, there were a few people in Capital City who wanted to get along with me. They hope to get close to the Qi family through me.

"

Song Xing Xing nodded. She always knew about Lu Xun's reputation in business in Capital City, but she did not know that he had this much influence.

"Moreover, there is you,

" Lu Xun continued.

"Me?

"

Lu Xun smiled.

"Didn't they reveal your family background a while ago? My wife, you are someone from the Song family and your eldest uncle is now in Capital City for his career.. Later, you will find that there were a few who wants to get close to you.

"
