Shen Zhi Qiu looked down at her shoes, then at her gray-blue dress, and pursed her lips in thought.

"Come on, try them on. What if they look good? Don't you think so?" Lu Jia smiled and bent down, placing the shoes in front of Shen Zhi Qiu.

Shen Zhi Qiu put it on, walked to the full-length mirror and looked at herself. Her eyes lit up; it really looked great.

"Wow, you have great taste!" Shen Zhi Qiu's mood improved considerably. She turned around and looked at it carefully again, then said with a determined expression, "But, starting today, I won't eat any desserts! You have to supervise my diet!"

"Alright, Your Highness, would you like to go for coffee together?" Lu Jia smiled and took out a small, exquisite black bag from the cabinet, handing it to Shen Zhi Qiu. "This goes perfectly with you, it suits you very well."

This time, Shen Zhi Qiu didn't hesitate. She picked up her bag, took Lu Jia's arm, and said with a sweet smile, "Let's go then. I know you must be getting impatient."

Looking at her bright smile, Lu Jia couldn't help but smile too.

Watching Shen Zhi Qiu slowly walk down with Lu Jia, Rong Mo's lips gradually turned up, and he said approvingly, "No wonder my sister stayed up there for so long, she was dressed up so beautifully before going out!"

Shen Zhi Qiu looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's Dad?"

“Dad had to leave because of something at the company. Let’s go, I’ll take you there, and then I’ll go back to the company.” Rong Mo said, standing up, picking up his suit jacket from the sofa and placing it in his arm, and looking at Shen Zhi Qiu with a smile.

"No need, brother." Shen Zhi Qiu waved his hand. "If you have something to do, go to the company first. We don't know how long we'll be sitting here. What if I want to go shopping later? There's a shopping mall downstairs from that coffee shop. Hehe."

"Alright, remember to use my card. Buy whatever you like!" Rong Mo thought about it and agreed, nodding as he spoke.

The two cars drove out of the gate one after the other.

A few seconds later, another car in the garage followed them from a distance.

After passing a fork in the road, Rong Mo walked away and went to the company.

Lu Jia and Shen Zhi Qiu turned right and drove towards the coffee shop.

The following car also turned right, following at a steady pace and maintaining a safe distance.

"Wei Qiao, don't follow too closely, don't scare Zhi Qiu." Rong Mo called Wei Qiao in the car behind.

"Okay, Mr. Rong, I will be extra careful." Wei Qiao slowed down again and followed at a distance.

"Okay, try not to let Zhi Qiu know about your existence," Rong Mo patiently instructed, then hung up the phone.

"Brother Wei, why can't we let Miss know we're following her? Aren't we following her to protect her?" the bodyguard asked, somewhat puzzled.

"President Rong doesn't want Miss to worry. Miss is used to keeping a low profile. If she were to openly bring a group of bodyguards out, she would feel uncomfortable and might even choose not to go out at all."

"President Rong instructed us to follow at a distance, so as to protect Miss without disturbing her," Wei Qiao explained. "You all need to be on your guard. If you see anyone who could harm Miss, report it to me immediately!"

Especially that Gu Qingyan, you must be wary of him, understand?

"Yes, Brother Wei, we understand, don't worry." The bodyguard replied quickly, understanding the situation.

In the coffee shop.

Lu Jia naturally took Shen Zhi Qiu's hand and walked into the coffee shop's terrace.

It was a weekday, so there weren't too many people. They chose a corner with a good view to sit in, where they could enjoy the scenery and the surrounding environment was very quiet.

"Your coffees are ready. Here is the lady's flat white, which I'll place here for you. The gentleman's iced Americano is also ready. Please enjoy."

The waiter placed the coffee down and then left.

Shen Zhi Qiu picked up her coffee cup and took a sip. The aroma of milk and coffee eased her brows and brought a smile to her eyes.

"If you like, we can come every week." Seeing her reaction, Lu Jia immediately felt that she had chosen the right place and that they could come here often.

Shen Zhi Qiu smiled, leaned back a little, and comfortably rested her head on Lu Jia's shoulder. "Lu Jia, you're so good to me!"

Why are you so good to me?

“Because I like you.” Lu Jia gently raised her arm a little, then took off her cashmere scarf and put it on her arm before placing Shen Zhi Qiu’s head on it and gently hugging her. “Perhaps it’s because I know how to cherish.”

Fate brought us together, fulfilling my long-cherished wish. Therefore, I must treat you very, very well to thank God for this arrangement.

"I'm sorry you had to go through all this." Shen Zhi Qiu snuggled against his shoulder, shifted to a more comfortable position, and said emotionally, "Thank you for being in my life."

They stayed by my side through my most difficult times.

I feel very happy.

"As long as you're happy. Zhi Qiu, I feel very happy too."

"So we're really lucky!" Lu Jia chuckled softly and gently kissed Shen Zhi Qiu's hair.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Shen Zhi Qiu's phone rang.

"Hey bro, what's wrong?"

“Zhiqiu, I suddenly remembered something. The place where you went out for coffee this afternoon is very close to the place where you tried on dresses. I was wondering if you would like to go and see it today, or should I go with you tomorrow?” Rong Mo asked with a smile.

"Okay, let's go today then. We're both out anyway, so it'll be more convenient. Brother, send me the address later. I'll go with Lu Jia."

"Okay, someone will greet you when you get there. I've already sent you the address, check your WeChat in a bit."

You can go take a look and see if there's anything you like. I've picked out some for you beforehand. You can go see if there's anything you like. If not, that's okay, there's still time to choose.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Zhi Qiu told Lu Jia about Rong Mo's arrangements.

"Okay, then I'll go with you later," Lu Jia said with a smile, taking a sip of coffee.

The dresses Rong Mo chose were exquisite in color and style, and overall they looked elegant and noble, which was very suitable for a family reunion banquet.

Shen Zhi Qiu tried them on one by one, and they all looked beautiful, but she and Lu Jia agreed that one of the silver dresses was the most beautiful.

Lu Jia smiled and made Shen Zhi Qiu turn around. He looked her over carefully, then lowered his voice and said with a smile, "Indeed, even the most beautiful clothes need a person to wear them. Because you are beautiful, this dress looks dazzling on you."

"Haha, it's been so long, Lu Jia's mouth has become so sweet?" A girl came out of the fitting room next door and looked at Shen Zhi Qiu with a smile.
