Chapter 5 - How Has She Been?
“Speak!”
Yi Fan quickly reported, “The girl’s identity has been found. But the investigator still needs some time to arrange for her to meet up with you.”
“I will give him another two weeks! Nothing more than that!”
“Yes, President Wang. I understand.” Yi Fan bowed slightly.
“Leave!” Yi Fan received Wang Shen Ze’s order and left the office immediately.
In the office, Wang Shen Ze stood in front of the large glass windows and stared at the view.
Since his office building is the tallest in the capital, he seems to have everything under his grasp and could only look down at the people beneath his feet.
He could make millions of dollars in every few hours. He has the power to make any company collapse within a night. But why is it that he could not even find his little girl?
Where is she? How has she been?
Has she been eating enough? Is she being bullied?
Wang Shen Ze could not stop thinking of the news that Yi Fan had reported to him.
“Xin Xin... I will make sure to find you!” Wang Shen Ze thought to himself, with a look of determination.

Three days later, at Lin Corporation
Today is the day that Lin Wen Xin has to submit her design draft.
Thankfully she has been on time for the past few days! Otherwise she would not know what to do if Sister Fei Yi shortened her deadline again.
Sister Fei Yi was also satisfied with the draft that Lin Wen Xin has submitted.
She went on to give Lin Wen Xin some pointers and gave her another two weeks to submit her final piece of work.
Lin Wen Xin returned to her desk and was about to take a short break when she saw a text message from her father.
[Wen Xin, see you later for dinner! Don’t be late. And remember to dress nicely!]
[Get the chauffeur to drive you there, I will be heading to the restaurant directly from the office.]
Lin Wen Xin widened her eyes with surprise. “Oh my!! Tonight is the dinner?? I totally forgot about it!” She sighed softly as she knocked lightly on her head.
She had been too busy with the submission of her draft that she has completely forgotten about the dinner!
She immediately went to apply for a half day leave with Sister Fei Yi and rushed home to get ready.

At the Lin’s Residence
Lin Wen Xin stared at her wardrobe for a long time and could not decide what to wear.
Should I wear this? Or should I wear that?
How about this? It looks pretty good too!
The discussion with herself went on for nearly an hour before deciding to wear a sleeveless white dress with squared neckline, paired with a high quality lilac knitted outerwear.
She is also wearing her branded high heels with a white quilted luxury bag.
She took out one of her expensive perfume and sprayed a few times in front of her. After confirming that it is the smell she wanted to go for, she sprayed on her wrists and rubbed it against her neck.
“Hmm... smells amazing!” Lin Wen Xin smiled with satisfaction.
...
Soon, their family’s chauffeur alighted Lin Wen Xin at the entrance of the restaurant.
“Wow!! Isn’t this the place...”
Lin Wen Xin walked into the lobby of the restaurant and was greeted by the sophisticated design and polite staffs.
The ceiling was extremely high and the interior design was exactly like a grand Chinese palace in the olden days.
Of course, she knew this through those popular historical romance dramas that she have watched!
This is the most famous Chinese restaurant in the capital. It is always fully booked and to dine in this restaurant, it is said that you have to make a booking at least six months in advance!
They only hire Michelin starred chefs in this restaurant and the reporters speculated that there is actually a man-made waterfall, inspired by the world renowned Niagara Falls, that is placed in the middle of the restaurant.
Wow! Unbelievable!
Lin Wen Xin excitedly took out her phone, wanting to record the experience down for Xiao Yu Meng, who isn’t here.
She smiled happily as she switched on the video function of her phone and moved her camera from the left to the... right...?
Lin Wen Xin was completely stunned when she saw that the person standing in the centre of her frame was actually Wang Shen Ze.
He stared straight at her with a cold expression.
One could totally feel the chill that exuded from his strong aura.
“Are you done fooling around?” Wang Shen Ze placed his hands in his pockets as he mocked at her coldly.
Without waiting for her reply, he turned around and left on his own.
Lin Wen Xin couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. She quickly put down her hands, kept the phone in her bag and hurriedly followed Wang Shen Ze towards the private dining room.
As she walked silently behind him, she could not help but admire his tall and muscular physique.
Tonight, Wang Shen Ze is wearing a customised business suit in black, made by an Italian designer.
As compared to her bright outfit, Wang Shen Ze’s suit gave off the solemn vibe.
Lin Wen Xin continued to observe Wang Shen Ze from the back, and couldn’t help but genuinely feel proud of how far he had come.
She knew that Wang Shen Ze had worked very hard to be where he is now, and felt that he really deserves everything in the world.
Although it feels surreal for Lin Wen Xin to be marrying him, she could not help but ask herself if she really deserves to be with him.
After all, what he has accomplished in these six years was a hundred times more things than she has ever accomplished in her entire life.
However, she has waited for this very day for six years.
People always say that “You only live your life once!” And as cliche as it sounds, it is true that you only get to marry one person in your lifetime.
Who is that person that you are going to marry in this lifetime?
Will you find a love that deserves you, or will you look for the love you think you deserve?

In the private room at the restaurant
“Shen Ze! Wen Xin! You guys came here together?” Xu Jia Li greeted and probed with a playful smile.
Lin Wen Xin and Wang Shen Ze turned to look at each other at the same time.
