Chapter 33 Buying a Dress

The office was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of Lu Yanzhi flipping papers.

But the atmosphere was not awkward; instead, it was more comfortable than when I was alone.

Zhou Qingti looked at Lu Yanzhi who was reading the documents seriously and started to take pictures of him secretly.

Using his thumb and index finger to magnify the image on the screen, he could even clearly see the length of his eyelashes under his drooping eyelids.

After taking a few black and white close-ups of facial features, Zhou Qingti felt that his work was worthy of entering into a photography competition.

I flipped through the photo album and found that my phone had accumulated a lot of photos and videos of Lu Yanzhi.

Lin Miao had already sent her several WeChat messages: [There are quite a few classmates in City G, and a few in the neighboring city. It's time to drive. I counted and there are nearly twenty of them.]

【Are you going or not? 】

Come with me

The twenty or so people Lin Miao mentioned were actually from two classes. They took classes together in college and were quite familiar with each other.

Zhou Qingti was a little hesitant. She was quite socially anxious in college. After graduation, she had basically no contact with her college classmates, and she rarely even talked in the dormitory group.

Lin Miao is her only good friend.

Seeing that she hadn't replied yet, Lin Miao continued to send her messages: [Go ahead, maybe you can find some clients.]

[When?] Zhou Qingti’s question meant that she was moved.

[The second floor of Yunqi Hotel the day after tomorrow evening]

"Let's go together. Let's drive your Porsche." Lin Miao took it as her agreement.

It's not mine.

Lin Miao: [Yes, yes, your husband's. How about driving your husband's Rolls-Royce?]

Zhou Qingti was speechless: [It's just a class reunion, is there any need to make such a big deal about it?]

Lin Miao: [Although class reunions are supposed to be a place for showing off, going to a party is definitely too high-profile. Forget it, or I'll have to frame you again.]

This happened to Zhou Qingti when she was a freshman. When she was eighteen, her mother gave her a brand-name bag as a birthday present. As a result, everyone started talking about it when they saw that this usually simple person was carrying a brand-name bag.

The most outrageous thing was that a boy from another major directly photoshopped a picture to spread rumors that she was being kept by someone. Fortunately, Zhou Qingti is a strong person, and the matter ended with a lawyer's letter and a public apology.

Zhou Qingti looked at the phone screen and curled her lips. She was not afraid of these things back then, and she is even less afraid now.

She just didn't want to be too flashy. As the saying goes: Don't show off your wealth.

Although Lu Yanzhi was reading a document, his attention was always on Zhou Qingti. Seeing her looking at her phone screen and smiling, he asked her, "What are you looking at? You're smiling so happily."

"Am I happy? I'm obviously disdainful."

Lu Yanzhi chuckled: "Really? Then what are you disdainful of?"

Zhou Qingti didn't want to talk about the unpleasant experience, so he brushed it off lightly: "It's just some bad things from the past. Oh, by the way, I'm going to a class reunion the day after tomorrow, so we won't be having dinner together."

Lu Yanzhi glanced at his schedule and said, "Okay, I also have a business dinner the day after tomorrow. Where should you book your class reunion?"

"Yunqi Hotel."

The places where Lu Yanzhi and I had dinner were in the south and north of the city respectively, which gave up the idea of ​​going home together after dinner.

Lu Yanzhi put down the documents and said, "Let's go and have dinner."

Zhou Qingti glanced at the time: "So early? Are you hungry?"

It was not yet five o'clock. He was not hungry but he had no desire to work either.

"I'm not hungry. Shall we go shopping first?"

Zhou Qingti thought he wanted to buy clothes, so she picked up her bag and stood up: "So which car are you driving?"

Lu Yanzhi took the coat and said, "Open yours."

He took Zhou Qingti's hand as he opened the office door.

She was used to showing intimacy in front of others, so she held his hand.

What the onlookers outside the door saw was President Lu walking out hand in hand with a cool and beautiful woman.

Like a movie.

Soon, the video of the president's wife and the president working together spread to every corner of Lu Yi Group.

It was a rare day that Zhou Qingti was driving and Lu Yanzhi was sitting in the passenger seat.

Zhou Qingti asked him: "Which mall are we going to?"

"Let's go to Wangyi. It's closer to the restaurants." Lu Yanzhi fastened his seat belt. "Did you know that Wangyi Plaza is actually ours?"

Zhou Qingti nodded: "Grandma told me last time."

The Lu family is mainly engaged in real estate business, and the place where she lives now was developed by the Lu family.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance."

"It's okay, I didn't do my homework in advance." The two of them sometimes spoke to each other in a respectful manner.

One is the hand that wants to touch but then pulls back, the other is the heart that restrains itself.

There was an awkward feeling between the two of them, and Lu Yanzhi didn't know what to do.

Every time I have to find an excuse to have some physical contact with Zhou Qingti.

For example, now, Lu Yanzhi asked her to hold his arm because it was their own shopping mall.

The first and second floors of the mall are full of luxury stores. Zhou Qingti thought she was here to buy men's clothing today.

Lu Yanzhi selected a few dresses for her to try on. Zhou Qingti looked at him in confusion: "This..."

"I have a small dinner party at the beginning of next month. I want you to be my date. You need to wear a formal dress." Lu Yanzhi looked at her expectantly: "Is that okay?"

There is nothing impossible. Although Zhou Qingti wanted to keep a distance from him in her heart, it was hard for her not to be soft-hearted every time she saw that handsome face.

Lu Yanzhi chose black and white dresses because most of the people who would be coming would be from the business community, so he chose simple and elegant ones.

Zhou Qingti came out wearing a white off-shoulder dress, holding up the hem of her dress and asked him, "How is it?"

"nice."

Zhou Qingti looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pretty, but she didn't like the style. It seemed a bit old-fashioned.

For the second outfit, she changed into a black velvet long dress with a large square collar. The large area of ​​skin exposed at the neckline was white and smooth, and the fitted cut showed off her perfect waist-to-hip ratio.

Lu Yanzhi looked at her with amazement in his eyes. She was as beautiful as a fragile porcelain doll.

The salesperson praised her repeatedly: "It's so beautiful, Miss Zhou. It would be so beautiful if you paired it with a diamond necklace or a pearl necklace. I am completely captivated by you."

"This clutch is perfect for a dinner party." The SA was holding a mini diamond-studded square bag. The simple and elegant skirt was just right for this delicate and small bag.

This SA is worthy of being the store's ace salesperson. At first glance, Lu Yanzhi is the kind of generous man who is willing to spend money on women.

Lu Yanzhi stood up from the sofa and walked to her side. "Very beautiful."

Lu Yanzhi in the mirror was dressed in a suit and tie, and the two of them looked well matched and had a harmonious aura.

They matched so well that Zhou Qingti didn't dare to look in the mirror for another second. He turned to the SA and said, "This is it. Wrap it up."

Lu Yanzhi pointed to the three skirts she hadn't tried on yet and asked her, "Aren't you going to try those? It doesn't matter if you buy two more."

Zhou Qingti shook her head. "I don't want to try it on. Besides, the skirt won't look good when I buy it back. Women's clothing is updated so quickly, there are always too many good-looking clothes."

Lu Yanzhi didn't force her to try again after hearing this. He just said, "Okay, there's a brand jewelry exhibition next week. Let's go see if there's anything we like."

Zhou Qingti shook his head: "There are still many accessories in the cloakroom that I haven't worn yet. There's no need to waste money."

Lu Yanzhi squeezed her soft palm and said, "No need to save money for me. I want to buy it for you."

Zhou Qingti's heartbeat quickened, and he pulled his hand back. "I'm going to change my clothes."

After paying for the expensive dress and bag, Lu Yanzhi still felt it wasn't enough and asked Zhou Qingti, "Do you want to buy some more clothes for everyday wear?"

The feeling of excitement is uncontrollable, especially the way Lu Yanzhi swipes the card generously is even more charming.

She was not a restrained person to begin with. From her entanglement after their first kiss to her loosened defenses in the old house, it seemed that she had completely lost the battle to prevent her heart from being moved.
