Standing by the window, Henry asked in a low voice, "When did you change your caller ID?"
"I changed it while you were sleeping." At the moment, Adrian was leaning against the sofa, playing with Henry's glasses with one hand and holding his phone with the other. "Are you done? Do you need me to come pick you up?"
"Yes. I'll be done in half an hour."
"Okay. I'll come pick you up, wearing your glasses then. I'll let you feel the happiness of taking off your glasses tonight." Adrian put on Henry's glasses, jumped up from the sofa, grabbed his black coat, and prepared to leave.
Through the phone, Henry could hear his playful snicker. He raised his clenched hand to his lips and scolded Adrian in a low voice, "Be serious."
"I'm very serious. See you in a bit."
"Take care. Bye."
After hanging up the phone, Henry saw his WeChat dialogue box pop up. "I'm going to pick up my boyfriend." It was from Adrian. Henry could not help smiling. His eyes darted to the three words "My Whole World." He stared at the screen and smiled silently for a few seconds before shoving the phone back into his pocket.
As soon as he turned around, he met Vivian's gaze.
Henry's heart skipped a beat.
Women were born sensitive to matters of the heart. Even if Vivian did not hear anything, she could tell that the person Henry spoke to on the phone just now was his sweetheart.
When a person was in love, they would not be able to hide the glee in their eyes. Also, body language always gave their feelings away.
"Henry, were you just speaking to your girlfriend?" Vivian stared at him like a detective questioning a suspect.
Henry swallowed and walked over. "No."
"Really?" Vivian was dubitative. "Do you like the person who just called you?"
Henry's and Vivian's eyes met. After a moment of silence, Henry nodded and said, "Yes."
"Oh, I see. Then that person is very lucky." Vivian was smart enough not to ask who Henry was talking to. She flashed him a friendly smile and looked away. "Let's proceed. What do I need to do next weekend?"
Henry forced a smile and answered, "At two o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, you will be at the FG headquarters to pick out your wedding dress. Mr. Shi will also be there."
"Really?" Vivian stood up from the sofa excitedly, crystal clear tears forming in her beautiful eyes.
She covered her mouth with her hand and said incredulously, "He'll be there with me?"
"Yes, and don't be late." After that, Henry bowed slightly and left.
It took Vivian a while to calm down. She turned to her mother and hugged her tightly. "Oh, Mom! John will be there with me to pick out my wedding dress!"
Vivian was as happy as a child in a chocolate factory.
"I heard it, dear." Julie was also excited, but she kept her composure for her daughter.
"It's impossible for you to hold a grand wedding in this situation, but we must expose it to the public. We have to let everyone know through the media that you and Mr. Shi are getting married.
We should start with picking out your wedding dress. You should have the media secretly take pictures and publish them to drum up attention."
"Okay. Thank you, Mom," Vivian nodded excitedly.
After that, they discussed the guest list. In the middle of their conversation, a servant came to inform Julie of Henry's departure.
"Mrs. Ye, Henry is on his way to leave."
"I know. It's not strange for him to leave every weekend. You don't have to report to me when he leaves."
