Let's Get Married novel Chapter 326

With the help of Ryan, Lily sets up her own office, where is located on a street that is full of lawyer offices. It is not because she does not consider the serious competition among peers; on the contrary, it is because she has strong confidence in herself.

Being a boss is completely different from being an employee. She invests almost all of the savings into the office. Ryan offered help when he noticed her situation, but she refused right away.

"I can do it myself. If I can’t, I will ask for help from you."

Ryan didn’t insist when he saw her attitude.

Adair enters a very good local nursery school. Among the little kids with blond hair and blue eyes, this black-haired and dark-eyed boy quickly catches people’s eyes.

Fortunately, all the kids are well educated that no one tries to exclude him.

Lily puts all her efforts in the office. No matter how hard the case is or how bad the situation is, she always tries her best. Fortunately, the office survives from the most difficult period.

She manages her business carefully and works super hard 24/7. Until one day she receives a debt dispute case from a large company, her company finally changes its position in peers essentially.

She checks everything herself, staying up all night to work for the case. Finally, she wins the case. Soon she gets good reputation in peers. Soon there are bigger cases coming.

In a blink of an eye, another year and a half have passed. In the fifth year living in UK, her law firm has become one of the best in local.

She cuts her hair shorter and shorter. Her clothes are getting simpler and simpler. Slowly, she gets her first luxury bag, her first car…

She wears well-fitting clothes to work, and receives invitations from different academic forums. She becomes a business woman.

She works day and night. When she is finally free, she gives all her attention to Adair. Ryan does not do anything over boundary after his love confession, which makes Lily feel more and more guilty.

She seems to have neglected him a lot.

On Christmas Day, Lily specially gets one day free, with no work. She takes Adair to the supermarket after finishing cleaning the house in the morning. After buying a bunch of good ingredients, she prepares to cook by herself.

"Adair, do you want to eat Chinese food or western food?" Lily Hesitantly checks the ingredients in the refrigerator.

Adair answers with no hesitate, "Chinese food!"

"Chinese food..." Lily glances around all the ingredients. There are big differences between foreign seasonings and domestic ones. She doesn’t have enough seasonings, so the flavors may not as good as she expects.

She thinks for a while, and suddenly she gets a good idea, "Let’s eat hot pot tonight."

"Hot pot?" Adair has never eaten hot pot before. He is not even familiar with the word “hot pot”.

Lily explains with a smile, "Hotpot, you haven't eaten it before. Today I will cook for you."

"Okay! Yahhhhh!" The little kid gets so happy that he even immediately goes round in the living room.

Hot pot is not hard to make. The only hard part is to wash vegetables. After all, they are in the UK, so Lily symbolically prepares a roast turkey.

She prepares all the ingredients, and then stir-fries the hot pot sauce. Everything is ready and they just need to wait for Ryan to come back.

At 7:30pm, Ryan walks into the duplex apartment building in a working suit.

As soon as he enters the door, he smells aroma of meal. He looks up seeing the white heat rising in the kitchen. He is used to be alone at home. He gets a little stunned when he enters.

Lily is walking out of the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks at the same time. She weaves her hands to tell him come in, "You are back! Change your clothes and come to eat."

It is not the first time to have dinner together in these years, but it is definitely the first time to have such a ceremony.

Ryan feels so warm in his heart. He puts down the briefcase and walks to the cloakroom. He changes to his home clothes and walks into the kitchen as quickly as possible.

On the table, there are all kinds of fresh vegetables, beef and lamb. There is also a good bottle of red wine. He knows this is from one of his wine collections.

Lily senses his gaze, and then shrugs her shoulder with a little embarrassment, "I forget to buy wine, so I open one of yours."

Ryan certainly won't mind. He pulls the chair and sits down, looking at the rolling pot, "How do you think of hot pot?"

"I plan to cook, but there is no enough seasoning. Hot pot is the best choice." Lily and Adair also sit down. She hands him chopsticks, pours red wine into the glass, and raises the wine, "Merry Christmas."

It’s the first time Ryan drinks with her. Thinking of this, he can’t help smiling. He raises his cup to touch hers, "Merry Christmas."

With a ‘ting’, the body of the cup makes a crisp sound. Lily takes a sip, and then puts a slice of meat into the pot.

One side of the pot is spicy and the other is not spicy. Adair is too little now to eat spicy pot.

The atmosphere in the kitchen is very good. Ryan barely talks when eating. Lily thinks about the firm and talks to him habitually, "By the way, I plan to move the company to the next street next month. You passed by with me before, do you remember?"

"Yes."

"Now the team is developing fast. We need to recruit more professionals. The original place is too small. Although the rent is a bit more expensive, we have no choice." Lily is a little bit worried; after all, the rent in London is so high that it makes people tremble.

"You can properly classify the work and charge according to the ease of the cases. If you want to make it bigger, no matter how young the firm is, at least it should seem to be formal and professional. Changing the location is necessary." Ryan’s words are very pertinent. It’s also a spur for her.

Lily nods her head, "I agree."

They chat for a while, and then Lily looks at Adair on the side, "Adair, do you have any wishes for the new year after Christmas?"

She can accompany him more in these days.

Adair stuffs a big slice of meat in his mouth, tilting his head and starting thinking. His big watery eyes blinks, looks at Lily and then looks at Ryan. Suddenly he thinks of something, and waves his chopsticks with excitement, "Yes! I hope uncle can be with my mother forever!"

Kids say whatever they know or they are thinking of shamelessly and fearlessly, but it changes its meaning in the minds of adults.

Lily subconsciously glances at Ryan, which meets his gaze at the same time. When their eyes meet, her face gets flashed, like a fire burning around her.

The little kid seems to realize that there is something wrong with the atmosphere. He raises his head and asks her pitifully, "Mom, will you leave uncle?"
