<h4>Chapter 995: A Minute Like A Year (1)</h4>


    ..


    The next afternoon, before three o’clock, Lin Jiayi stopped what she was doing and asked Xia Shangzhou to send her to a nearby shopping mall.


    She had a VIP card in the beauty salon in the shopping mall, so she would usuallye here for a SPA when she was free. Most of the time, Xia Shangzhou was the one who booked her appointments for her.


    Today was no exception. When Xia Shangzhou went upstairs to book a room for her, Lin Jiayi took a stroll around the shopping mall downstairs. After receiving a call from Xia Shangzhou, Lin Jiayi carried the spoils of war she had just bought and went upstairs.


    After Lin Jiayi entered the beauty salon, Xia Shangzhou didn’t go too far. Instead, he found an empty seat in the coffee shop on the fifth floor of the shopping mall, ordered a cup of ck coffee, and took out hisptop, he helped Lin Jiayi with the unfinished work that she had been doing in thepany.


    Xia Shangzhou set an rm clock, and an hour and fifty minutester, his rm rang. He hurriedly saved some of the things that he had just finished working on, packed them up, and called for the waiter to pay the bill, then, he got up and headed to the beauty salon downstairs.


    He waited at the entrance for about ten minutes before Lin Jiayi walked out with the support of the beauty salon’s director and the nurse.


    For a moment, Xia Shangzhou didn’t dare to recognize the woman in front of him.


    Her waist-length curly hair was pulled straight, and it hung gently at the back of her head. Due to the many clients she had to meet every day, her face, which had always been covered in makeup, waspletely unadorned, her clean and fair skin was so tender that she didn’t look like a thirty-year-old at all. She no longer wore those capable clothes, but a white shirt withce, paired with a simple ck skirt and white ts, her entire person was youthful and beautiful. At first nce, she looked like a young college student who had just walked out of the campus.


    In Xia Shangzhou’s impression, Lin Jiayi was mboyant, wanton, enchanting, and bright. He had never seen her look so simple and elegant, so clean that she looked like a piece of undyed white paper.


    Xia Shangzhou was so stunned that he didn’t even notice when Lin Jiayi walked up to him.


    “How is it? Is it good-looking?”Lin Jiayi asked as she casually walked around Xia Shangzhou.


    Xia Shangzhou came back to his senses, and his gaze lingered on Lin Jiayi’s face for a few more seconds. Then, he nodded and replied, “It’s good-looking.”


    “Does it look better this way or the usual way?”


    “Both...”


    “I knew that you would say the same thing when I asked you... forget it, I won’t make things difficult for you. However, Qin Ting will definitely like my outfit... when he confessed to me back then, he told me that the first time he saw me, it was because I was wearing a white shirt and a ck skirt that he noticed me...”


    Xia Shangzhou didn’t say a word. With a smile on his face, he reached out his hand and took the clothes that Lin Jiayi had changed into, changing the topic, he said, “CEO Lin, it’s about time. It’s time to set off. If we were anyter, the traffic would surely be terrible. By then, you might even bete...”


    Lin Jiayi nodded in agreement.


    While the two of them were walking toward the elevator, Lin Jiayi turned to look at Xia Shangzhou while they were chatting. When she saw that Xia Shangzhou was actually taller than her by a notch, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you wearing high heels?” A little perplexed, Lin Jiayi couldn’t help but exim, “Normally, I wouldn’t feel much when walking beside you in high heels. But now that I’m wearing ts, I realized that you’re quite tall when I walk beside you...”
