Hearing this, Sophia finally couldn’t help but cry. She hugged Leighton and cried, “Dear, thank you. I love you so much!”

Leighton also hugged Sophia tightly. She knew that Sophia had suffered too much during this period of time, so she didn’t say anything else and let Sophia cry and vent.

Ten minutes later, Sophia stopped crying. She looked at Leighton’s wet chest and said with a smile, “You need to change your clothes.”

“Don’t worry.” Leighton smiled dotingly. “I’ll have to shower and change my clothes later anyway.”

“Then I’ll go back first. You just came back from a business trip, so rest early. We’ll meet another day.” Sophia looked at Leighton’s haggard expression and said with heartache.

“Alright,” Leighton teased. “You’re in such a hurry to go back now that you have a newlywed husband. You can go now.”

Sophia was a little shy. “You’re so annoying. I just wanted you to have a good rest. Let’s go!”

With that, he turned around and left.

However, just as the door was about to close, Leighton suddenly exclaimed and shouted at the door, “Sophia, come back. I remembered something.”

Sophia shook her head. This Leighton, if he couldn’t bear to part with her, just say it!

She turned back to her room and smiled. “What’s wrong dear? Did you miss me as soon as you left?”

Leighton smiled and said excitedly, “Stop it, I just remembered that I have a distant relative. According to my mother, I should call him cousin. He’s a lawyer and I can ask him for help to get back your mother’s inheritance!”

“If he’s distant then would he help you?” Sophia was a little puzzled.

“Logically speaking, it should be possible. After all, when my mother asked me to call him cousin, he didn’t reject. He probably felt happy when he saw my beauty.” Leighton said narcissistically.

“Oh right, the day after tomorrow, Gao Rui Corporation is holding a party. My cousin is an elite of a world-famous law firm. I’m sure he’ll attend.”

“Let’s go too. When the time comes, I’ll introduce you to my cousin. That way, I’ll have a chance to see the domineering CEO of Gao Rui Corporation.” Leighton said as she became infatuated.

“Why didn’t I realize before that you don’t date because your heart belongs to someone else?” Sophia teased.

“Look at what you’re saying. Who wouldn’t love such a top-notch man? I’m telling you, the CEO of the Gao Rui Corporation is not only rich but also handsome. He’s simply the perfect man! Hey, why did God put all the good things on one person?”

Leighton looked at Sophia and continued, “Sigh, it’s a pity that my Sophia is so good-looking and has such a figure and yet she’s married a soldier. If only she could marry the CEO of Gao Rui! You wouldn’t have to be so miserable now. If there’s anything, your husband can help you settle it with just a word.”

Sophia smiled faintly. “What are you saying? Can’t I have happiness with a soldier?”

“Yo, you’ve developed feelings for your flash marriage partner so quickly?” Leighton said deliberately. “The protection of him has already begun?”

“Annoying!”

“I forgot to tell you that I’m working at Gao Rui now. Don’t make fun of me and the CEO anymore.” Sophia added.

“I heard that the CEO is a resolute and cold-faced man. If he hears it, I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep my life.”

Upon hearing this, Leighton exclaimed, “What?! You’ve joined Gao Rui! This is great news, how could you forget!”

“However, this can be considered a little sweetness in your difficult life. I feel a little more at ease.” Leighton looked at Sophia and said emotionally.

Sophia was so amused that she burst into tears. The two of them chatted and laughed for a while before reluctantly parting.

…

Two days later, the party at Gao Rui Group was about to begin.

Leighton rushed to Sophia’s side early in the morning to see what Sophia’s fast-marriage husband looked like. Unfortunately, she did not see him.

Looking at Leighton’s angry face, Sophia smiled and comforted him, “He’s very diligent at work every day. He leaves early and returns late. I might not even see him in the morning.”

Sophia changed her clothes and pulled Leighton out.

Leighton frowned and stopped Sophia. He said with disdain, “Honey, although you’ve joined Gao Rui, are you going to wear this to such a big party?”

“What’s wrong? It’s just a gala. Other than your cousin, no one knows me. It’s not like I’m going to a runway show.” Sophia said disapprovingly.

Although she said that, as a girl, who wouldn’t want to appear in front of the public with their most beautiful appearance?

However, an evening gown that looked good would cost at least a thousand dollars. Her current financial situation did not allow her to be so wasteful.

“You, just be stubborn.” With that, Leighton dragged Sophia out.

He took her to the mall and finished styling the dress. Leighton nodded in satisfaction and rushed to the venue with Sophia.

According to Leighton’s idea, this party was a rare opportunity for young talents to gather. If Sophia dressed up prettily, she might be able to meet a young talent who liked her. That way, she would not have to stay by the poor soldier’s side all the time.

Although Sophia kept rejecting him, Leighton took it as Sophia’s rejection.

The magnificent hall highlighted the high-end and luxury of this party.

Sophia felt that she was not the host or the center of attention. She could only find a corner to sit down and concentrate on eating.

Just as they were eating happily, the hall suddenly fell silent.

All the guests ‘eyes were fixed on the door.

With such a big scene, could it be that the CEO of Gao Rui Corporation that Leighton mentioned had come?

Sophia was about to turn around and tell Leighton that her Prince Charming had made his debut.

But when he turned around, he realized that Leighton had already disappeared.

Sophia smiled to herself. “That’s true. This woman’s eyes lit up when she saw her Prince Charming. How could she remind him?”

Everyone in the venue was looking at the person who had just entered through the door. The women were even more excited and screamed non-stop.

“Is it that exaggerated? It was even more extravagant than a popular celebrity?” Sophia, who was originally not interested in such things, could not hold back her curiosity anymore.

Finally, driven by great curiosity, Sophia tiptoed and looked at the man who came in through the door.
