When Malcolm and Finney went into the banquet hall, with the sight of them, Essie smiled, "The representative of Hengyuan Co., Ltd is here, Mr. Rong and I are going to say hello to them. Excuse us." Then she held Zac's arm intimately and went away.
Leila's beautiful face twisted in jealousy. She really hated her last name, or how could someone take Zac away from her again.
When Finney saw that Essie and Zac were together again, she was surprised and confused. In Jiang City, she was with Hanson, and the two went to the hospital to visit her grandfather together. Why did it change to be her ex-brother-in-law when she came back. 'Oh my God! Was she involved in a love triangle?'
While Zac was talking with Malcolm, she pulled Essie aside and asked, "Have you made it up with ex-brother-in-law?" In Yang City, she didn't know the true identity of Zac. After coming to Dragon City, she knew that he was not only the president of the Emperor, but also the future boss of the richest family, incomparably wealthy and powerful.
Essie didn't know how to explain the relationship between her and Zac, "We... We are just getting along like friends," she said understatedly.
"Didn't you attend the party as the wife of the CEO of the Emperor?" Raising her eyebrows, Finney didn't believe her at all.
"Sister, his relationship with me is quite complicated, and it's not as clear as what you think. I'll explain it to you later." Essie could only change the subject.
Finney patted her on the shoulder, with a look of admiration on her face, and said, "You were born to be the wife of the president. You are the wife of the president no matter you will marry to Zac or Hanson."
With a smile on her face, Essie said, "Don't worry about me anymore. There are a lot of young talents present at the anniversary ceremony of the Emperor. You must keep your beauty, and try to be the wife of the president as soon as possible."
"That makes sense. I should take a look around." Finney snickered, arranged her hair, and turned to the front of the banquet hall.
Essie drank a little wine again and went to the dressing room. After he had a conversation with several bosses, Zac couldn't find her, so he went to Finney who was standing not far away and asked, "Finney, are you accustomed to living in Dragon City now?"
"Yes, I'm quite used to it." Finney smiled.
"I heard from Essie that grandpa Yi had a heart attack. Did parents in law come back from America as well?" he asked casually.
"Yes, all of them are back." Finney nodded. She had only stayed in Jiang City for only two days. When she knew that her grandfather was out of danger, she went back. She had no idea about Mili and Dot at all.
"Will they go back?" Zac asked casually.
"I don't think so. They went to America because they want to take care of Essie. But now Essie is in China now, so it is meaningless for them to go back there." Finney shook her head.
"They only have one child. They want to live together with her." Zac shrugged. Three years ago, he had planned to bring Essie's parents to Dragon City for the convenience of them to take care of after he settled down Valery's business, but...
After taking a sip of champagne, Finney raised a corner of her mouth and said, "Essie is not my uncle's biological daughter, but she is closer to my uncle than her biological father. I don't even have such a good relationship with my father."
Zac was shocked by what she said. "She's not father-in-law's biological daughter?"
Now, Finney realized that she had said something wrong. She hastily covered her mouth with her hands. She had thought that Essie had told him about it, but to her surprise, he didn't know at all.
"Well... Essie comes. Go and find her." With that, he slipped into the crowd and disappeared.
Zac turned his head and saw Essie walking towards him. "Where's my sister? Why couldn't she see me?" She looked around.
"I think she went to talk to vice president Ji," Zac answered. It suddenly dawned on him that he actually didn't know much about this confused little fool. She seemed to have hidden a lot of secrets, but she had never opened them to him.
Essie didn't go to find Finney. God knew which rich and powerful man she had a crush on, so she didn't want to disturb them.
After the banquet, Zac took Essie back to the villa. On the way back, he was unusually silent, and she keenly noticed his abnormality. She didn't know what upset this CEO again. This volatility had always been the most important character in his personality.
After bathing, she was forcefully pulled by a pair of big hands.
"Essie, I have a question for you. In the past half year of our marriage, have you ever treated me as your husband?"
Hearing this, Essie was stunned for a while. He looked serious and gloomy. It seemed that he was not just asking this question casually, but extremely serious. He would not stop unless he got the answer.
"What about you? Have you ever treated me as your wife?" she asked instead of answering him.
"You are always my wife." he replied in a straightforward and straightforward tone, without any hesitation.
