Three years and six months later. On a sultry and dry summer night, in the parking lot outside a high-class club near London Tower Bridge, the car windows were tightly shut, and the cool air conditioning was on inside the car.
Yet, the chilly air from the AC did not quell the agitation in one’s heart.
Su Xiaomeng wore a white V-neck shirt, with sleeves extending three-quarters down her arms, and a delicate white wrist wearing a bracelet, adorned with a limited edition Cartier diamonds from around the world, crafted with exquisite artisanship that left people in awe.
It was a gift from Yin Shixiu at the beginning of the year for their seventh wedding anniversary.
Still as thoughtful, still as unique.
Yin Shixiu said that the bracelet has a name — Seven Years.
Once launched, it sparked a debate in the jewelry world, not only for the seemingly unfavorable name but also for the precious diamonds used on the bracelet named after it, alongside the top-notch craftsmanship of the master jeweler.
Seven years... the seven-year itch.
Whether it’s love or marriage, the seven-year itch is definitely not a good thing.
This bracelet named "Seven Years" has, true to its name, only seven pieces worldwide.
The gift made her very happy...
Because she and Yin Shixiu were both convinced that there would never be such a thing as a seven-year itch between them; if there was an itch, it would itch someone else.
Leaving Beijing and living in London for a full three and a half years, time flew by, and looking back, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang have both shot up.
During this time, they had also returned to Beijing a few times. In the first two years, Yin Shixiu spent most of his time in Germany for his leg treatment rehabilitation and a few instances returning to London to be with his wife and two children.
After rehabilitation, Yin Shixiu recovered very well, except for some strenuous activities that could put too much strain on his legs, he was no different from an ordinary person.
Yet, in the year and a half following, the couple still spent more time apart than together.
In the past two years, social and technological development has transitioned into a new dimension. There weren’t significant issues with the other industries under Yin Group, but the cornerstone of Yin Group has always been Yin Technology.
The speed of evolution in the technology industry is exceedingly fast; a moment’s inattention could result in being overtaken by emerging newcomers.
While undergoing treatment in Germany, Yin Shixiu never relaxed his grip on managing Yin, but he is, after all, not a machine.
Two years were enough to cause some stagnation in Yin’s technology industry.
And Yin Shixiu is definitely not someone who would willingly fall behind other tech companies, focusing most of his efforts on Yin Technology in the year and a half following.
Su Xiaomeng had grievances about this, only... rarely did she express it in front of Yin Shixiu, mostly blaming her own pretentiousness.
In a few days, it would be Yin Shixiu’s 40th birthday.
No matter how young he appears on the outside, reaching forty truly means entering middle age...
He wants to accomplish a lot, and in any case, she could not demand him to give up his career dreams for spending more time with her and the children.
Perhaps...
It was because of her understanding that resulted in the strong agitation she felt now.
Her gaze fell on the entrance of the high-class club; she had been waiting here for an entire hour...
Finally, before her patience ran out, a certain man came out of the club, accompanied by a few sharply dressed, seemingly impressive businessmen.
Su Xiaomeng murmured with a sullen glance,
"No matter how remarkable, it’s not like he’s learning from Dayu... passing by the house three times and not entering, is it... Yin Shixiu!"
