Hearing this, Qiao Zhen didn't know what to say and could only nod silently.

"Oh right, Tang Yue just said she invited the two of us to her birthday party," Qiao Zhen suddenly remembered.

Lu Zheng looked down at her: "Do you want to go?"

“Anything is fine, I can go with you,” Qiao Zhen replied hastily.

Lu Zheng smiled, a smile playing on his lips: "What, are you jealous that I'm going alone?"

"No way," Qiao Zhen quickly retorted. Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed after saying that, she forced a smile and said, "I just think it's better to have someone to keep me company."

Lu Zheng neither confirmed nor denied it, glanced at her again, and then left, saying, "Go home."

When Qiao Zhen returned home, a group of people were already waiting for her with a clothes hanger.

Qiao Zhen was startled. Seeing that they all looked like salespeople, she couldn't help but turn to look at Lu Zheng.

"You need to dress up nicely for Tang Yue's birthday party tomorrow."

A salesperson on the side said respectfully, "Mr. Lu, Ms. Qiao, these are our store's newest dresses for the season. Please take a look and see if there's anything you like."

Lu Zheng asked Qiao Zhen to pick out a few clothes she liked.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen had no choice but to step forward and select a few clothes that she liked from the clothes rack.

One is a black lace-trimmed dress, and the other is a champagne-colored strapless fishtail dress.

Just as Qiao Zhen was hesitating, Lu Zheng spoke up: "Try wearing the top."

Qiao Zhen casually picked up the strapless dress and went into the bedroom.

After they finished changing, everyone eagerly awaited their return.

The woman's champagne-colored skirt shimmered softly under the light, making Qiao Zhen's skin appear even whiter than snow.

The few pieces of jewelry that Qiao Zhen casually wore shone with an eye-catching light, which made the salesperson sincerely admire them.

"Miss Qiao, you look absolutely stunning in this outfit. It perfectly complements your elegant demeanor."

"Thank you." Qiao Zhen was a little embarrassed by the compliment and tucked a stray hair behind her ear.

At this moment, Lu Zheng suddenly said, "Keeping these two items is enough."

He then gestured to the nanny next to him to see the guests out.

Qiao Zhen was wondering why he was in such a hurry when she saw Lu Zheng suddenly get up, walk to Qiao Zhen's side, and kiss her on the ear.

"What are you doing..." Qiao Zhen blushed slightly at the sudden action, and her voice became softer.

"I want to kiss you, so what?" Lu Zheng said seriously, but a teasing smile was on his lips as he picked up Qiao Zhen and carried her into the house.

Qiao Zhenxin's heart was pounding rapidly. She pursed her lips, and her hands involuntarily curled up.

"What's there to be nervous about? It's not the first time."

Seeing Qiao Zhen's unusually nervous expression, Lu Zheng couldn't help but tease her.

"This is for tomorrow's evening gown, isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it."

After saying that, he picked up the black lace dress next to him.

When Qiao Zhen changed into her strapless dress, she casually brought this dress in, which unexpectedly made things convenient for Lu Zheng.

"What you're wearing to the banquet tomorrow is fine; wear this tonight."

Hearing Lu Zheng's almost commanding tone, Qiao Zhen pouted helplessly and reluctantly changed into the black lace dress.

You won't know until you try it, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

When Qiao Zhen was choosing the dress, she didn't think it was that revealing.

But after putting it on, she realized that the dress was almost like lingerie.

Suddenly looking up, Lu Zheng stared straight at her, his expression full of lust.

"You have good taste." Lu Zheng fiddled with the bow tie on Qiao Zhen's chest.

"I...I didn't expect him to be so revealing."

Qiao Zhen covered her chest and spoke softly as she backed away.

Lu Zheng didn't take her words seriously, instead pressing her further: "Move forward a bit."

Qiao Zhen bit her lip and reluctantly took two steps forward.

Seeing Qiao Zhen's discomfiture, Lu Zheng smiled and was in a good mood. He gently carried Qiao Zhen to the bed and leaned down to kiss her.

Sensing the stimulating signals, Qiao Zhen quickly became infatuated, and her breathing gradually quickened.

Feeling the woman in his arms gradually getting hotter, Lu Zheng gently loosened his belt and teased her.

After everything was over, Qiao Zhen slept very soundly that night.

It wasn't until the next morning, when she was reflecting on it, that Qiao Zhen realized how gentle Lu Zheng had been.

What are you thinking about?

Lu Zheng's words suddenly interrupted Qiao Zhen's thoughts. She looked up and saw Lu Zheng busy making breakfast.

She quickly shook her head to suppress the thoughts in her mind.

He constantly reminded himself that it was all an act.

"It's nothing." Qiao Zhen's tone turned cold as she silently walked to the dining table and began to eat.

Seeing him like this, Lu Zheng didn't ask any further questions.

After finishing their meal in silence, the two drove to Tang Yue's birthday party.

Tang Yue was, after all, a socialite, and the people who came were all prominent figures.

After Qiao Zhen and Lu Zheng went inside, they attracted the attention of many people.

"Why is there a commoner with President Lu?"

Qiao Zhen hadn't taken two steps when she heard people whispering beside her.

Turning around, he saw that the person who came was a wealthy young lady, dressed in expensive clothes and quite beautiful.

Qiao Zhen didn't want to cause trouble this time, so she simply chose to ignore it.

Unexpectedly, the young lady persisted, saying behind Qiao Zhen, "Look, this woman doesn't dare to utter a word; she just cowers like a turtle next to a man."

Hearing this, Qiao Zhen finally couldn't hold back any longer and turned around to politely say, "Excuse me, this is someone else's home turf. Please show some respect."

"You should be the kind of person who comes to your home turf. People like you deserve to be criticized."
