Xiang Xiaoyuan chose a romantic comedy.
The movie started. Xiang Xiaoyuan sat beside Lu Wanggui to feel a sense of security. Lu Wanggui had wanted to be close to her, so he took the opportunity to place his hand over her shoulder, pulling her into his arms.
Lu Wangguiâs presence gave Xiang Xiaoyuan a great sense of security, as well as a sense of reality.
It was a light movie. Xiang Xiaoyuan slowly leaned against Lu Wanggui and fell into a light sleep. The sound of her even breathing could be heard. Lu Wanggui reached out for the remote control and turned the volume down. In the dimly lit room, Lu Wangguiâs thoughts were no longer about that ridiculous romantic movie. In his arms was her, and in his ears was her warm breathing.
On the screen, the male lead was lowering his head to secretly kiss the sleeping female lead. Lu Wanggui also wanted to do that, but he looked at her and knew that she trusted him. So he suppressed the urge.
Lu Wanggui thought that Xiang Xiaoyuan had trusted men too easily. She probably did not know her effect on men, especially on him.
He never crossed the invisible line on the bed. At first, he was calm and controlled, demure and courteous. Most importantly, he didnât feel anything for her, so he could remain a gentleman.
Later on, he cared about her, but he did not want to betray her trust and naivety.
The next morning, when Xiang Xiaoyuan woke up, there was no one by her side. However, she found a watch on the sofa. It was the one that Lu Wanggui often wore. So Lu Wanggui slept here with her for the night?
In the blink of an eye, it was Valentineâs Day. Lu Wanggui and Gao Yuan had finished their business trip and were returning. On the plane, Lu Wanggui suddenly thought of a little girl who was talking about Valentineâs Day plans when he checked in. He looked at Gao Yuan and asked casually, âYou and your wife have been married for many years, right?â
Gao Yuan didnât expect CEO Lu to chat with him, so he quickly perked up. âYes, itâs been almost ten years.â
âIsnât today a special occasion? Is your wife upset at you for working overtime?â
âYes, today is Valentineâs Day. My wife understands my work, and she is also quite busy herself.â
Lu Wanggui paused. âThen what gifts do you usually buy her?â
Gao Yuanâs tone was a little humble. â... My money is in my wifeâs hands.â
She controlled all of his wealth. His pockets were cleaner than his face, so how could he have the money to buy a gift?
âLast year, I saved up some money to buy her a bag when I went on a business trip. Then, she scolded me and said that I shouldnât buy things that cost more than 10,000 yuan without telling her,â Gao Yuan said.
âThat proves that your relationship is very deep,â Lu Wanggui said with a faint smile.
Gao Yuan had been by Lu Wangguiâs side for many years, so he understood what he meant. He asked tentatively, âCEO Lu, do you celebrate Valentineâs Day with your wife?â
Lu Wanggui nodded. âYes.â
Otherwise, why did he have to come back today?
Gao Yuan understood. âWhat gift did you prepare for your wife?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âNothing yet.â
Lu Wanggui looked at Gao Yuan. âDo you have any good suggestions?â
Gao Yuan, âI have too many suggestions!â!
âLike a yacht?â
Lu Wanggui shook his head. âI think she will scold me.â
After all, they had been together for some time, so he knew her well. She didnât look like she would like a yacht. If he really wanted to give her such a gift, he might as well just give it to her in cash.
However, it wasnât appropriate to transfer money or give her a red envelope during such an occasion. Gao Yuan couldnât help butfelt happy that he and CEO Lu shared the same worries.
He thought for a moment and said, âCEO Lu, if you trust me, why donât you let me arrange it?â
There was not much time. Today was Valentineâs Day. If he bought jewelry. It would feel superficial and non-genuine. He had another idea in his mind.
Lu Wanggui was a little hesitant because he suddenly thought of the flower baskets that Gao Yuan had arranged for him last time. But on second thought, perhaps the things that Gao Yuan had arranged would also bring unexpected result.
So he nodded. âOkay, then Iâll have to trouble you.â
Xiang Xiaoyuan came to the convenience store. On Valentineâs Day, the convenience storeâs business was still good. The limited-edition new products that were launched were also very popular. In the afternoon, Xiang Xiaoyuan remembered that Lu Wanggui had sent her a message saying that he would be back this afternoon.. Although he might not know that today was Valentineâs Day, and might not celebrate Valentineâs Day with her, she could not be completely unprepared.
