The man had a regular face, slightly deep eye sockets, and a bit of mixed-race look. He was wearing a blue casual shirt, black trousers, and a thin windbreaker draped over his arm. His elegant temperament was mixed with a bit of majesty.

Everyone thought to themselves, which company must this person be an executive of?

"Hello, hello."

"Mr. Lu, right? Sit here."

"I thought Xia Xi was joking, but she really has a boyfriend."

"Don't say that, you two look so good together!"

Everyone who came to their senses started to try to lighten the mood.

Xu Yanfeng stared coldly at the two people surrounded in the middle, his expression unmoved. The low pressure released from his body was cut off from the hustle and bustle of the entire box, making him seem out of place.

Ling Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Xi has a boyfriend, and that man has a good appearance and temperament. Xu Yanfeng should not have any other thoughts about her.

Lu Mingji took Xia Xi in his arms and walked to the sofa. When he sat down, he loosened his hands and placed them on his knees. The whole movement was smooth and natural. It didn't seem like a deliberate show of affection, but rather a normal way of getting along.

Xia Xi clearly felt a burning gaze fixed on his face, and he forced himself not to turn his head.

Xu Yanfeng lit a cigarette for himself. This was his second cigarette tonight. He took a puff and his gaze left Xia Xi's face. He looked at the man next to her and said slowly, "Where is Mr. Lu employed?"

Lu Mingji drank a sip of boiled water, turned his gaze to the person who spoke, and was surprised.

He turned out to be the president of Xu Corporation.

Lu Mingji glanced at Xia Xi and noticed that she looked tense and nervous. He understood a little and replied gently, "Not really. I returned to China a year ago and started a small company. Boya Design Company. Perhaps Mr. Xu has heard of it."

Li Guihang: "Boya Design?"

Even if the others were not in this industry, they had heard of it and looked at Lu Mingji in surprise.

Last year, Boya Design Company designed a library for the tourist destination of Yuanzhou. Its antique-style decoration resembles an ancient library, and it blends seamlessly with the local buildings, as if it were a relic from thousands of years ago.

Once the library opened, it attracted tourists from all over the country to visit, greatly boosting the local tourism economy.

To this day, you can still see internet celebrities, big names, and stars checking in at the library on short video platforms every now and then.

Boya Design became an instant hit and gained great fame.

It turns out that the man in front of me is the founder of Boya Design Company.

This trip today was worth it! First, I spoke with the president of the Xu Group, and then I had an encounter with a legendary celebrity.

"Wait, Xia Xi just said that she works in a design company. Could it be..." Li Guihang's eyes wandered between Xia Xi and Lu Mingji, and hesitantly asked, "Are you from the same company?"

Xia Xi admitted generously: "You guessed right, Lu Mingji is my boss."

Lu Mingji smiled at her with a doting look in his eyes and corrected her words: "You're not really the boss. We support each other. You've made a great contribution to the company's success."

Apart from him, no one knew that the library in Yuanzhou was designed by Xia Xi.

At that time, Xia Xi was still abroad, and the name signed on the design drawing was two English letters "XI" that she wrote casually, which is the pinyin of the word "Xi" in her name.

The girl sitting next to Ling Yan covered her mouth in envy. "Oh my god, my boss is my boyfriend. What kind of novel plot has come true? Mr. Lu, how did you two get together?"

Lu Mingji chuckled and asked Xia Xi what she meant: "Do you want to tell me?"

There was confusion and bewilderment in Xia Xi's eyes. How should he explain this? Should he make up a story on the spot?

She threw the problem to Lu Mingji: "It's up to you."

As soon as Xia Xi finished speaking, someone immediately followed up: "I want to know too! My intuition tells me that the story between you two must be very exciting."

"You'll probably be disappointed after hearing this. It's actually just a story of secret love coming true, not so dramatic." Lu Mingji tilted his head slightly, as if thinking about where to start. After a moment, he told the story half-truthfully, "We met when we were studying abroad. We went to the same school, and I was her senior. You can imagine that in a foreign country, meeting a compatriot is as heartwarming as meeting family. I fell in love with Xixi at first sight. I had always had a crush on her secretly, but she was so outstanding, and I was a coward and didn't dare to confess my feelings to her. Yesterday, I learned that she was going on a blind date, and I was afraid of losing her, so I mustered up the courage to confess my feelings to her. I didn't expect her to agree, and it's my honor. I will treat her well for the rest of my life and never let her hand go."

Speaking of this, Lu Mingji became a little emotional. He took Xia Xi's hand and looked into her eyes affectionately.

Although Xia Xi found it a bit corny, she admired his eloquence from the bottom of her heart. Coming up with such a set of words in such a short time was not easy. No wonder he was able to become a leader. She couldn't do it, so she was only fit to do hard labor for Lu Mingji and bury her head in drawing.

"How romantic!" Zhao Lei acted as the atmosphere group. She crossed her hands, clenched her fists, placed them on her chin, and sighed with envy.

Xia Xi pursed her lips and resisted the urge to twitch her mouth.

At this point, everyone believed that Xia Xi and Lu Mingji were a couple and no longer doubted her previous "truth". However, Xu Yanfeng did not give up. When the atmosphere was at its best, he coldly interrupted with a sentence, shattering everyone's fantasy of a beautiful love that was born out of fate: "Mr. Lu, don't you mind Xia Xi having a child?"

What? Kids?!

Everyone's eyes widened, as if they had eaten a huge melon.

Does Xia Xi have a child?

Even Zhao Lei, who had a good relationship with Xia Xi, was shocked. She and Xia Xi hadn't had much contact in recent years, at most sending a few greetings during festivals, and she had no idea of her situation.
