’I have put on a little weight.’
Lin Ping put her hands on her hips, struck a pose, and muttered under her breath.
Putting on a wedding dress again after eight years made her pretty face flush faintly with embarrassment.
Still, she took a deep breath, gathered her courage, and slowly walked out of the master bedroom.
"Wow!"
The first thing to greet Lin Ping was Anan’s gasp of wonder.
The warm light of the living room illuminated the glittering silver diamonds covering the dress, making it seem as if she were wrapped in a soft, flowing silver veil.
Her face was stunning, and her figure was graceful and exquisite.
Her aura was noble and elegant, yet it also held the unique charm and sexiness of a young matron.
Lin Shen couldn’t help but stare, but Anan obviously didn’t understand such little quirks of men.
She just thought her mommy was especially beautiful tonight!
"Mommy, you’re so beautiful!"
Anan jumped off the sofa from Lin Shen’s lap, ran up to Lin Ping, and looked up at her, saying sweetly,
"You’re the most beautiful woman in the whole world!"
"Where did you learn to say things like that..."
Lin Ping was a little embarrassed by Anan’s praise. She bent down slightly to pick her up, then walked over to Lin Shen, her flushed face lowered as she asked in a small voice,
"President Lin... uh, Lin Shen, what do you think?"
"It looks great."
Lin Shen’s eyes were filled with a burning intensity.
Being sized up by his gaze made Lin Ping’s crimson face even more beautiful. While she felt shy, a deep sense of secret joy and happiness bloomed within her.
She held Anan and played with her for a while before she suddenly felt soft breathing and unconscious murmurs against her.
Perhaps because she had been so excited today, the high emotions had tired Anan out quickly. She curled up in Lin Ping’s arms, drowsy and ready to fall asleep.
"President Lin, I’ll go put Anan to bed first."
Lin Ping whispered to Lin Shen. She then carried Anan into her room, laid her gently on the bed, took off her outer clothes, and covered her with a blanket.
Ten minutes later, she came out.
In the living room, Lin Shen was sitting on the sofa, one leg elegantly crossed over the other.
When he saw Lin Ping come out, he raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile,
"Is she asleep?"
"Yes."
Lin Ping’s pretty face was slightly flushed, her heart pounding.
It wasn’t out of nervousness, but excitement.
Lin Ping clearly knew what was about to happen. An unparalleled sense of anticipation sent a wave of heat from her chest throughout her entire body.
The deepest desires in her heart had been completely aroused.
"President Lin."
Lin Ping sat down next to Lin Shen and proactively nestled against his side, speaking softly.
"You don’t have to take what Anan said today too seriously. Kids will be kids; they always make unreasonable demands."
"It’s fine. Since I made a pinky promise with Anan, I’ll definitely see the act through to the end."
Lin Shen’s left hand caressed Lin Ping’s full thigh through the fabric of the wedding dress.
"After all, you can’t break a promise to a child. That’s an adult’s responsibility."
"President Lin..."
Hearing that Lin Shen was willing to play the role of "daddy" for Anan, Lin Ping was deeply moved, her beautiful eyes shimmering with emotion.
Coupled with the sweet bombardment of expensive gifts from today, she was already impatient to "repay" Lin Shen.
...
"Aren’t you afraid Anan will suddenly wake up?"
"Anan just fell asleep. She won’t wake up in the middle of the night this early."
Lin Ping knew her daughter’s sleep schedule well, so she was particularly bold and at ease.
Soon, in the dimly lit living room, the hem of the mermaid-style dress was spread across the floor like a blooming flower.
