"Lihua, I will only be pacified if you sing a pretty song." A fan declared emotionally.

Like a domino, the others joined in. "Yes, yes. Lihua must sing tonight."

Lin Lihua was just about to leave with Henry Blanc and Shishi but their path was blocked.

Since the opening ceremony was being livestreamed and they had seen her announce her retirement, many fans had rushed over.

The bodyguards were ready to get them out of her way but they waited for her instructions. Lin Lihua never wanted anyone to hurt her fans or push them unnecessarily. If she really had to leave, only then would they be politely asked to make way.

Since she had just announced her retirement, she was indulgent tonight. "What song do you want to listen to?"

They exchanged looks. Only one song?

"If it's one song, can it be a duet with Prince Charming?" The Prince Charming being talked about was obviously Henry Blanc.

Lin Lihua turned to her fiancé and saw that he didn't look very willing to sing. "But your prince charming is so tired tonight. He should go home soon and rest."

"But it's just one song, just for tonight. Can't he compromise this once? Pretty please."

"Yeah, Prince Charming, our queen will thank you appropriately tonight!"

Lin Lihua felt embarassed. Girls nowadays were so...unrestrained.

Since this was only something that happened once in a lifetime, Henry Blanc agreed.

"If it's a duet, how about we sing "my vow" by yours truly?"

"I was about to choose that!"

"Our husband has excellent taste."

"He is marrying our Lihua. Of course that's a heavenly level of excellent taste."

Henry Blanc was speechless at their way of adressing him. Who in the world was their prince charming? Wasn't he too old for such a childish nickname? And who the hell was their husband?

After singing Lin Lihua's song amid cheers and tears from the fans, the Blanc couple were finally allowed to leave. Even then, they were reluctant to let them go because, this would be the last opening ceremony that Lin Lihua would ever attend as an actress.

To spend more time together, Henry Blanc asked her to stay in his Southside Villa tonight.

He had not yet completed the procedure for moving Le Blanc Group's headquaters to Country C, so he had to go back the next day.

They dropped off Shishi, who was unable to stop herself from crying emotionally because she would no longer see her idol on the screens.

"Don't cry anymore. You will be able to see me as much as you want, since you are my sister's little friend." Lin Lihua coaxed.

"But it's not the same. I still want to see you act and walk runways."

Lin Lihua gave her a new handkerchief to wipe her tears. "Isn't it better to see me walk normally?"

Shishi was suddenly excited amid her trars. "Did I just recieve a handkerchief from my idol? Oh my god! Erm...Lihua, can I...can I get a signed photo of you when you are free? I hope it's not too much trouble."

Lin Lihua rubbed her back. Poor girl. She would give her a ton of her signed photos later.

As for the way of adressing her, she didn't mind. After all she was her fan. She was used to being addressed that intimately by them. It would be weird if she suddenly started calling her "sister."

...

When Shishi left, Henry Blanc finally had the chance to carry his woman home.

Those girls! Luckily, the young men and teenage boys were fewer tonight. If not, he would have already detonated in jealousy.

It was all his wife's fault for looking as young as someone in her early twenties despite being already thirty. The little lads and lasses just couldn't get over her.

"Did you retire because you're afraid that I will mind?" He asked.

Lin Lihua shook her head. "I already started my entertainment agency. If I still act in movies and also take care of Lin Industries, it will be too much to handle. Besides, I'm already too old. The screens need a new queen."

"Who said you are old? You are still so young that you can safely star in a television series like a young girl experiencing first love. Who dares to say that my Lihua is old?"

Lin Lihua chuckled. She was already thirty. Although she looked young, it didn't mean she actually was. She was not ashamed of her age. "Instead of acting like women falling in love for the first time, why not just embrace my first love?"

Henry Blanc lifted her up in his arms and went towards his room.

"Where are we going?" She asked although she could already guess.

"You said that you were going to embrance your first love. Are you going to do it in the living room?"

Lin Lihua was speechless.

Men really had their way of weaving words to have didfferent meanings.

"Besides, your fans promised that you would thank me appropriately tonight. Are you going to let them down?"

Lin Lihua smacked his chest. "What should I do about you? You are too daring."

He opened the door to his room using his foot and went in, then placed her on the sofa at the side. "Lihua, I want to have you tonight."

He enjoyed seeing her stunned and speechless look. "Now, this is being daring, okay?"

"Henry Blanc!" How could he tease her like that? Although she was already thirty, it would be her first time and she was still a little nervous about it.

"I know that was a half joke and you actually want to...but can we wait until we're married?"

"No problem. It can wait."

The most important thing was that he was already her man, and she was his fiancée. It didn't matter if she was not ready to make love with him. He would wait until she was ready.
