After three years of misplaced affection, Mrs. Yu is no longer willing to pretend to be obedient.

"Oh..." Jane lowered her head and rolled her eyes.

She's been so busy lately, either attending events or liquidating assets, that she completely forgot about this special day.

However, there doesn't seem to be anything special about this date that needs to be remembered. In the past, she was the only one who remembered it and prepared for it.

"Didn't I tell you that we can just make some simple dishes at home? Just pick some Italian food that Yu Yunting likes." She has a varied palate and isn't picky about food. The man is picky, so we'll just go with his tastes.

"I think what you mean... is that you don't plan to eat at home."

"What?" Jian Ailing raised her eyebrows, and it took her a while to understand what Aunt Lü was saying.

For him, wasn't this just an ordinary, mundane day? Over the years, she was the only one who had ever treated this day as an anniversary and wanted it to have a sense of ritual.

"Where does he plan to eat?"

"You'll have to ask him yourself," Aunt Lü said with a smile and a shake of her head.

It's all very mysterious.

Jane took a big gulp of noodle soup before picking up a tissue and wiping her mouth with satisfaction.

She didn't want to waste her time trying to guess what Yu Yunting was up to; she had a lot of other things to deal with.

Jane returned to her room when her phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, she quickly answered the call.

It seems that the last sum of money that can be converted into cash will be available soon.

On Thursday evening, Jane Ailing finally finished dealing with all her assets and took a taxi back to Cloud Pine Bay.

Although she didn't know what Yu Yunting was planning, she still cooperated by greeting Zhao Zitong and Du Xiaoyi and asking them not to give her any projects tomorrow.

Upon entering the house, Jane Ailing saw Yu Yunting sitting at the dining table. It was clearly past lunchtime, and Jane Ailing wasn't sure if he was waiting for her.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Jane asked, noticing that he was looking at her.

"I've booked a restaurant for tomorrow night," Yu Yunting said, sending her an address. "Come eat here tonight."

Jane looked at the address.

She knew about this French restaurant, but had never been there because of the price.

As far as I can remember, this was the first time Yu Yunting had taken her out to eat alone after they had been married for so many years.

"Okay." Jian Ailing raised the corner of her mouth, casually put her phone in her pocket, turned around and went upstairs. "Good night."

Going to a restaurant like this, it seems one can't be too casual about their attire. The next afternoon, Jane spent a long time browsing through her wardrobe before finally finding the silver-white dress she wore last time.

She doesn't have many opportunities to attend social events, so she doesn't own many formal dresses. After looking at them all, this one is still the most suitable.

The last time I wore this dress was to attend a charity gala.

It hasn't been that long, but when I think about it, it always feels like a lifetime ago.

After all, so much has happened during this period, more enriching and fulfilling than the previous two years.

Jane Ailing quite likes this feeling of being busy. When she's busy, she doesn't have to worry about gains and losses, she doesn't have to consider that man's feelings, and she doesn't have to rack her brains to figure out how to please him.

She likes herself better now than she did in the past.

The dress was a bit thin, and the autumn night was still quite chilly. Before going out, she specially put on a camel-colored shawl.

"Madam, are you getting ready to go out for dinner?" Aunt Lu couldn't help but smile when she saw the elegantly dressed Jian Ailing.

The husband and wife have been married for many years, and in recent months she has clearly felt that their relationship is getting better and better.

"Mmm." Jian Ailing raised the corners of her mouth and smiled at Aunt Lü.

Have a wonderful evening.

"Thanks."

She had booked a car for 5:30 a.m. long ago. When she opened the door, the car was already waiting outside.

Unexpectedly, we encountered rush hour on the way to the restaurant, and the car was stuck in traffic for a long time before we arrived.

This was the first time Jian Ailing had gone out to dinner alone with Yu Yunting. She didn't know if he was the punctual type or if he was prone to being late. But based on her understanding of him, she figured he should already be at the restaurant by now.

However, Yu Yunting did not urge her, so she was not in a hurry. She just quietly watched the traffic outside the window and waited for the car to drive to its destination.

That restaurant is on the top floor of the Dragon City Hotel and is very famous. Jian Ailing had heard Zhu Yan say that money alone is not enough; most of the time, you have to make a reservation in advance. If you want a window seat with a good view, you even have to book two or three weeks in advance.

"Ding!" The elevator notification sounded, reminding Jane that she had reached the top floor.

To her surprise, the restaurant was much quieter than she had imagined. When Jane stepped out of the elevator, she didn't see a single person outside.

She slowly walked to the restaurant entrance, her high heels clicking crisply on the polished floor.

"Are you Mrs. Yu?" A friendly waiter stood at the door and smiled at her.

Jane Ailing was taken aback.

This was the first time an outsider had addressed her as Mrs. Yu so proactively.

The problem is... she'd never even seen the waitress before, so how did she know so accurately that she was Mrs. Yu?

"Please come in, Mr. Yu has been waiting for you here for a long time." She made a "please" gesture, turned around and walked to the front to lead the way for Jane Ailing.

As Jane followed the waiter into the restaurant, she immediately understood why the waiter had recognized her so quickly.

The restaurant was quiet and deserted, with no other customers at all. Only one person was sitting at a table in the center under the crystal chandelier.

Yu Yunting sat at the table, silently watching her.

The restaurant was dimly lit, and the crystal chandelier was set to its softest brightness, casting dappled light and shadow on his face. His eyes were deep and radiant, captivating anyone who looked at him.

He wore a dark gray bespoke suit, but without a tie, which made him appear less aloof and capable than when he was working. The top two buttons of his shirt were undone, adding a touch of casualness.

"Sorry, there was traffic outside, I'm a little late." Jane Ailing forced a smile and walked to the table. Another waiter pulled out a chair for her.

Not far behind them was a Steinway piano. The moment she sat down, the first note of the piano fell, and the sound of the violin next to her blended in very smoothly, and the beautiful music flowed in the candlelight.

"Mrs. Yu, you look beautiful today." Yu Yunting looked at her, a hint of pleasure in his eyes.
