Chapter 225 She was Quite Satisfied with That Son-in-law-to-be
Jordan had on a casual suit that he seldom wore. In a pure white casual top, black jeans and brown business shoes, he was now sitting on the sofa and looking intently at them.
"Mrs. Yu, where is Lucas? Is he coming?" Lucas was Wendy's younger brother.
Janne bought a beautiful skirt just for the event today. Set off by the elegant red skirt, her skin looked fair and flawless. With a smile, she stood and took Lola to her side. "Lucas has to take an exam today, so he can't make it. Long time, no see, Lola. You have become more beautiful."
Lola put her handbag on the table and held Janne's hand. "Mrs. Yu, you look even younger!"
Janne giggled and squinted her wrinkled eyes. "How sweet of you! I think you're just joking."
"Well, Lola is here. I've booked a private room at the hotel tonight. Let's go." Seeing that Lola has good relationships with Janne and Wendy, Harold became very happy.
They immediately drove to the hotel. According to the arrangement of Lola, Landon took her car, Angie and Harold had Nicole and Janne, and Wendy went by Jordan's military vehicle.
In the car, Wendy was nervously browsing Weibo and didn't dare to look up at the man next to her.
She had been dreaming of this for so long. She and this man would take their pre-wedding photos tomorrow and get married in less than twenty days.
There was no music in the car, so it was very quiet. It was kind of awkward. She had to say something to break the silence.
"Mr. Li, I…"
"We'll get married soon. There's no place for formalities. You can call me Jordan." He replied in a cold tone as he drove skillfully.
"Okay." She could call him Jordan? What an intimate gesture... Wendy blushed in embarrassment.
Jordan turned to her and saw a strange look on her face.
She was like those women who were neither pretty nor ugly. She just didn't stand out.
Without any makeup, she looked just a common and plain girl. But at the right moment, her blushed face was so attractive.
The atmosphere in the car was getting more and more awkward.
Jordan changed directions so he could park the car. Wendy looked out the window and felt relieved. They had arrived at the hotel.
Jordan quickly got off from the driver's sea and went around to the passenger seat.
He opened the door and extended his arm to help her.
Blushing again, Wendy unfastened the seat belt and put her trembling hand into his.
Jordan was a soldier, so there were a lot of calluses on his palm. His hand felt a bit rough. Her hands were more tender. That did not mean that she did not endure hard work though.
Holding each other's hand, they didn't have the same feelings for each other.
The military vehicle was a bit high. With his help, Wendy easily got off the vehicle.
She quickly released his hand and stood beside him. Looking at her embarrassed look, Jordan teased her by holding her hand again.
As expected, Wendy's face turned even redder. She looked down at their hands, with her heart beating really fast.
They walked to the hotel door hand in hand just like a couple.
Lola stayed with Landon behind and smiled at the couple who had just gone in.
Jordan could not hide anything from her. She clearly saw that he took Wendy's hand. Ha!
This luxury hotel was one of the best hotels in A Country.
Wendy marveled at the magnificent hall, the sweet and warm welcomes of the waiters and the hospitable service.
The private room was decorated elegantly. It didn't look like a place for dinner. It looked more like a function room for a ball.
They were enjoying themselves. Harold gave Janne the list of the betrothal gifts
- a house under Wendy's name in downtown A Country, a fancy car, a cash gift of 6, 888, 888, eight pieces of gold and many more expensive presents.
Janne covered her mouth in shock. "Angie, these costly gifts are too much. There is no need to do so." She was so excited that she didn't know what to do.
"Calm down. Aside from the cash, everything else come from Jordan."
Whatever. All the gifts were for Wendy. She thought that they were too much. "But…"
Janne was a bit anxious. It was really extravagant. All of these...
Lola picked some food for Nicole to eat. "Mrs. Yu, calm down. It shows Jordan loves Wendy dearly. Do you not like that?" She laughed and joked.
These extravagant gifts showed Jordan's deep love? Really? Deep inside, she believed that love should be shown through intangible acts of care and tenderness. Wendy nervously glanced at the handsome man next to her. Jordan got plates of tasty meals for her.
Their eyes met. Wendy lowered her head shyly. Why did Jordan treat her so nicely? Was it possible that he loved her?
"Yeah, sure." Janne replied. Wendy's happiness was just what she wanted and desired. She was just a bit cautious.
She couldn't take the money. She would deposit it into Wendy's card.
Jordan put down the chopsticks and looked at Janne. "Mrs. Qi, stay in the villa tonight. You can just move to the apartment tomorrow. It's getting late anyway. After Lucas finishes his exam, I'll ask someone to pick him up."
They had reached an agreement. After Wendy got married, they would move to A Country.
Janne didn't want Wendy to be here alone, so she agreed. The house that was on the list was already prepared and furnished for them.
"Okay." Janne looked at Jordan. Although he wasn't always smiling, he looked calm and relaxed. Moreover, he gave many gifts and was nice to Wendy. He was a man that everybody can trust.
She was quite satisfied with that son-in-law-to-be!
Lola whispered to Wendy, making her blush in embarrassment.
Jordan was taken aback by Wendy's look. She suddenly looked a bit different.
Without noticing Jordan, Wendy pinched Lola. "Of course with you! You don't have to ask!"
It turned out that Lola asked Wendy who she would sleep with tonight.
...
Surprised that Wendy pinched her, she replied in a low voice, "Well Wendy, I have decided that I will send you to my brother's room tonight."
Ignoring the curious faces of the people around them, Lola continued to whisper to Wendy.
Wendy pinched Lola again. Lola rubbed her painful arm and teased her. "Try to win Jordan's heart with what you're capable of. Ouch! Ouch! It hurts!" It was so painful that Lola shouted.
Angie ignored her and continued to talk with Janne as they happily conversed with each other. How indifferent she was!
Under the table, Jordan gently took hold of Wendy's hand.
... Both Lola and Wendy exchanged glances and finally became quiet.
