Chapter 1216 - 1169: Shadow on the Heart
Lin Jie opened his eyes and was a bit bewildered; the sight before him was a sky full of stars!Could he be sleeping outdoors?
He sat up in a panic, and by the soft glow of the wall lamp, he realized he was actually in a gigantic luxury bedroom with a transparent ceiling above.
The bed beneath him was large enough to fit five or six people comfortably.
An Kexin lay beside him, her alluring silhouette accentuated by the silky silk blanket, with only her beautiful black hair exposed.
Lin Jie recalled the wedding from the daytime!
After the wedding vows and ring exchange, it was time for the banquet.
There were simply too many guests, nearly two hundred tables of them, and going from table to table to toast everyone was impractical.
Even at a minute per table, it would take over three hours.
Lin Jie and An Kexin came up with a clever plan, live streaming via large wall screens in the banquet halls on each floor, raising glasses and toasting all the guests at once.
To express sincerity and apologize, Lin Jie performed "Wedding in Dreams" on the saxophone for all the guests and danced a tango with An Kexin with great effort.
During the toast, an excited Lin Jie drank actual red wine...
Thinking of this, Lin Jie slapped his forehead, realizing the issue was with that glass of red wine.
Not long after drinking it, his memories of the wedding were completely gone.
After an all-night surgery, half a day of excitement and a low tolerance for alcohol, Lin Jie knew that after drinking that glass, he would sleep like a log.
He looked around the unfamiliar bedroom again, guessing it must be the yacht's luxury bedroom.
According to the plan, after the banquet ended that same evening, he, An Kexin, Lin Miao, An Kemeng, and others were to go to Binhai Port and board the waiting Freedom Flyer yacht.
Lin Jie checked the time; it was one thirty in the morning.
Estimating, he figured he had slept for about twelve hours.
He got out of bed, stretched his stiff body, solved some matters in the bathroom, took a quick shower, and upon returning, found An Kexin also getting out of bed, dressed in silk pajamas.
"Did I wake you?"
An Kexin just chuckled softly, brushed her hair back, tied it simply with a hair tie at the back of her head, and asked with concern, "Hungry?"
At her suggestion, Lin Jie indeed felt hungry.
Very hungry, even hearing a rumbling sound.
"Is there anything ready to eat? Chocolate, cookies or something would do for now!"
An Kexin took Lin Jie's hand, laughing lightly, "Follow me!"
Out of the bedroom, through the living room, into a fully equipped kitchen.
Lin Jie watched as An Kexin expertly added some water to a cooking pot, placed it on the stove to boil, and took peeled fresh shrimp, greens, sliced meat, eggs, and a small bunch of fresh noodles from the fridge.
"I knew you'd be hungry waking up at night, so I prepared beforehand. I'm making our Lin Family's traditional signature noodles: shrimp, meat, greens, and egg noodles."
"These noodles were hand-rolled by the yacht's chef, very chewy."
An Kexin took some cooked food from the fridge and methodically sliced it.
Lin Jie leaned against the kitchen door frame, quietly watching her work, a sense of happiness flooding through him, giving him a bit of a homey feeling.
"Kexin, did anything interesting happen at the marriage banquet after I passed out drunk?"
"Interesting?"
An Kexin glanced at Lin Jie with a charming smile, saying, "The most interesting thing was you, of course."
"Do you know, after drinking that glass of red wine, you soon became drunk."
She couldn't help but giggle, "Once drunk, you were quite well-behaved, sitting quietly without crying or making a fuss, just like a one or two-year-old child, needing to be fed and guided to walk."
"No way?" Lin Jie was a bit incredulous.
An Kexin chuckled, saying, "Kemeng even recorded a video of you, so you can't deny it."
"And not just anyone could feed you; only Miaomiao and I could. Kemeng was even annoyed about that."
"It's because I was so tired and excited yesterday!"
Lin Jie irrationally explained, then promptly asked, "Nothing happened at the hospital, right? Has the post-op check on that chief been done yet?"
"Everything is ordinary at the hospital! As for the Arab chief you operated on..."
An Kexin shook her head, "Haven't heard any news yet."
"No news is good news. If you're really worried, wait until morning and call Dr. Qi."
Lin Jie murmured in agreement, then embraced An Kexin from behind, his chin resting in her shoulder nook, eyes closing comfortably as he softly said, "Graduated from university, opened the hospital, got married."
"These important life events all happened this year; I feel a lot of relief all over!"
An Kexin gently patted Lin Jie's hand and lightly scolded, "Don't distract me from cutting vegetables."
"We can only say a stage of life's important events is completed, indicating that the next stage of life's important events is beginning..."
Lin Jie embraced An Kexin tighter, saying, "For example..."
An Kexin laughed lightly, replying, "For example, now that you are a husband, you need to take on the responsibilities of the head of the family, be a good husband, and soon, become a good father."
