The morning hustle of the mansion had become a routine. Wang Yibo, dressed impeccably in a tailored suit, grabbed his briefcase and headed towards the door.
He paused momentarily at Xiao Zhan room, glancing at Xiao Zhan, who was busy preparing to leave for his studio.
"Have a good day at work, Zhan," Wang Yibo said softly.
Xiao Zhan looked up, a faint smile touching his lips. "You too, Yibo ge."
As they both left for their respective workplaces, the day was filled with the usual busyness. Wang Yibo immersed himself in meetings and strategic planning at the company, while Xiao Zhan dedicated himself to his art studio, creating new designs and overseeing projects.
Despite their demanding schedules, Wang Yibo's mind constantly wandered to Xiao Zhan. He knew he had to make more efforts to win his husband's heart. During a break between meetings, he made a quick phone call. "Reserve a table for two at L'Étoile for tonight," he instructed his assistant Yu Bin.
In the evening, as the city lights twinkled, Wang Yibo picked up Xiao Zhan from his studio. "I thought we could go out for dinner tonight," Wang Yibo suggested, his voice filled with hope.
Xiao Zhan hesitated but then nodded. "Alright, let me just grab my things."

The restaurant was elegant and intimate, with a romantic ambiance. They were shown to a private table by the window, offering a stunning view of the city skyline.
As they perused the menu, Wang Yibo tried to initiate conversation. "How was your day at the studio?"
Xiao Zhan looked up, meeting his gaze. "Busy, but productive. We're working on a new collection."
Wang Yibo smiled, genuinely interested. "That sounds exciting. I'd love to see it sometime."
Throughout the dinner, Wang Yibo made an effort to keep the conversation light and engaging. He shared stories from his day, funny anecdotes from the office, and even opened up about his hopes and dreams. Slowly, Xiao Zhan began to relax, responding with more warmth and less reservation.
After dinner, they took a stroll through a nearby park, with two of Yibo Bodyguards that slowly walking a little far away from them, the cool evening breeze adding a sense of serenity to the night.
Wang Yibo reached out, gently taking Xiao Zhan's hand. "I'm really glad we did this, Zhan."
Xiao Zhan looked at their intertwined hands, a soft blush creeping up his cheeks. "Me too, Yibo. Thank you for tonight."
As they walked back to the car, Wang Yibo felt a flicker of hope. These moments, though small, were building blocks towards a stronger relationship.
The next day, back in their routine, Wang Yibo couldn't help but think about their evening together. He decided to plan more outings, each one a step towards bridging the gap between them. Lunches at cozy cafes, weekend getaways, and quiet dinners at home-all became part of his strategy to make Xiao Zhan fall in love with him.
