Yan Zhi met Sang Lishu's gaze and smiled generously: "I'm not joking, it's just that I'm really impressed by Secretary Sang's beauty."
Sang Lishu's face turned ashen.
Bai Lian didn't want to have a direct conflict with Yan Zhi. Leng Linli had already spoken to her these past few days, telling her to be polite to Yan Zhi.
Bai Lian didn't want Yan Zhi to find any leverage against her and complain to Leng Linli again.
Bai Lian pulled Sang Lishu aside and said, "Secretary Sang, I've already chosen this one. Let Secretary Yan and Secretary Su take their time to choose. Let's go now."
"Alright then." Since Bai Lian had already spoken, Sang Lishu didn't dare to say anything. After all, whether she would have a good life in the Leng family in the future depended entirely on Bai Lian, the president's wife, and she dared not offend Bai Lian easily.
After Bai Lian and Sang Lishu left, Su Rao felt the air instantly become fresher. However, upon closer reflection, Sang Lishu's words made some sense.
Su Rao leaned closer to Yan Zhi, blinked, and asked, "Why don't you consider radiating beauty to prove yourself? You'll be irresistible to President Leng!"
"Hmm...no," Yan Zhi said calmly.
Yan Zhi chooses to conserve her energy and reduce her mental strain, knowing that life is already difficult enough without needing to prove herself or try to convince others.
Before Su Rao could say anything more, Yan Zhi added, "I'm very stingy. I only spray perfume on my philtrum and smell it myself."
Yan Zhi is just being playful; she never wears perfume.
"Ha...you're amazing!" Su Rao was finally impressed by this woman who loved to talk nonsense.
After shopping all afternoon, Su Rao stuffed large and small bags of clothes into the car, while Yan Zhi only looked and didn't buy anything.
In fact, Su Rao knew that Yan Zhi was simply not materialistic like most women; she was very simple.
People with rich, confident, and simple inner lives don't need to embellish themselves. They don't pursue designer bags, clothes, or accessories; their clothes, bags, and shoes are all affordable. They don't have high demands for material possessions and live very simply.
After dinner, Su Rao and Yan Zhi went to see a movie. When they came out, it was already dark. Yan Zhi stood at the intersection and saw a cake shop, so she pulled Su Rao over there.
"Want some?" Yan Zhi pointed to the cake shop.
Su Rao looked in the direction Yan Zhi was pointing and saw a small dessert shop.
";OK.";
Su Rao smiled brightly: "It's my treat."
As he spoke, he pulled Yan Zhi into the cake shop.
"Order whatever you want to eat," Su Rao said generously, patting her chest.
"I'm fine with anything." Yan Zhi shrugged: "I'm not picky about food."
The dessert shop had so many desserts—colorful little cakes, brightly colored ice cream—that Yan Zhi's eyes were dazzled. In the end, she chose an ice cream cone.
Yan Zhi ate her ice cream cone with a happy smile on her face.
"Su Rao, are you sure you don't want to eat it? It's delicious," Yan Zhi asked.
“I’m on a diet, I don’t deserve to eat,” Su Rao said.
"One bite." Yan Zhi scooped out a bite and fed it to Su Rao.
Su Rao looked at the ice cream that was brought to her mouth and ate it without hesitation.
Actually, Su Rao doesn't like sweets, but Yan Zhi does.
Su Rao discovered that Yan Zhi wasn't a picky eater, but she adored sweets, and a satisfied smile would appear on her face every time she ate sweets.
Su Rao thought that perhaps she was hurting inside, which was why she wanted to eat something sweet.
So even though Su Rao doesn't like sweets, she's willing to cooperate with Yan Zhi and provide appropriate emotional support.
"Let's go, I'll take you home," Su Rao said.
Yan Zhi licked the cream from the corner of her mouth and smiled brightly: "Okay."
When Su Rao escorted Yan Zhi home, Leng Linli happened to be standing at the door.
I don't know if it was intentional or just a coincidence.
His face was gentle, his gaze was on Yan Zhi, and a faint smile lingered on his lips.
Su Rao parked the car, opened the door, and stepped out, bowing respectfully: "Hello, President Leng!"
Leng Linli turned his head, his gaze shifting from Yan Zhi to Su Rao. He raised an eyebrow at her, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Hello, would you like to come in and sit down?"
Su Rao was flattered and startled, then gave a shy laugh and politely said, "No, Mr. Leng, I'm in a hurry!"
Leng Linli nodded: "Then I won't keep you any longer."
Leng Linli's expression was gentle, but the look he gave Su Rao seemed to say: You've already taken over my wife for a day, try staying any longer!
"Goodbye, Mr. Leng!"
After Su Rao finished speaking, she ran away in a flash.
Leng Linli's gaze shifted back to Yan Zhi, a faint warmth appearing in his eyes, and he naturally took Yan Zhi's handbag.
"No need." Yan Zhi subtly avoided Leng Linli's outstretched hand.
Realizing that her actions might be too obvious, she politely added, "It's not heavy."
Yan Zhi walked in front, and Leng Linli followed behind, maintaining a safe distance between them.
Leng Linli's eyes darkened, then he smiled and said, "You went out all day and didn't buy anything?"
"Hmm." Yan Zhi responded faintly, her voice low, as if she didn't want to talk more.
The clothing store that Yan Zhi and Su Rao were shopping at was a store under the Leng family, and it was also the store that Old Madam Leng instructed to send new styles to Yan Zhi every month. As soon as Yan Zhi entered, the knowledgeable staff inside reported to Old Madam Leng, including Sang Li Shu's sarcastic remarks about Yan Zhi. The old lady then added fuel to the fire and told Leng Lin Li about it.
Leng Linli waited at the door, worried that Yan Zhi wouldn't be able to carry all the things she bought after shopping all day. But to his surprise, Yan Zhi didn't buy anything in the end.
