After eating and drinking their fill, the two of them strolled around the street for a while before parting ways.
When Li Xi returned home, Luo Jingxuan was not there.
Luo Jingxuan is a workaholic. Li Xi can feel this both from the original text and from her interactions with him over the past two days.
Li Xi is puzzled by Luo Jingxuan's transformation into a workaholic. He's been investigating the accident involving his parents, but by the end of the original story, he's never uncovered the truth, and there's no follow-up. Instead, the male protagonist, Shen Zhou, stumbles upon the truth and coerces and bribes Luo Da and Luo San into colluding in a business war, collaborating with him to undermine the Luo family.
That is the business war in the original text where Li Xi betrayed Luo Jingxuan.
From the male protagonist's perspective, this is naturally fine. But when it comes to Luo Jingxuan, the logic is a bit unreasonable.
Luo Jingxuan had always suspected his parents' accident wasn't an accident, and he never gave up investigating. It was just that he was too young and incompetent at the time to uncover the truth. In the years that followed, he suffered a long period of bullying due to his parents' accidental death. This long period of repression had left him with some psychological problems.
Such a person, after growing up, did not devote all his energy to investigating the truth of the past, but instead focused solely on his work. It was as if he had forgotten his parents' accident, the bullying he had endured, and the dark shadows in his heart.
Does this make sense?
If you say he's the male protagonist, with his heart set on the sun, that's fine. He's the villain boss character. Aside from challenging the male protagonist and winning, he doesn't do anything villainous at all, just working diligently all day.
Is this reasonable?
Anyway, Li Xi felt that it was quite unreasonable. When she read the novel, she felt a little sorry for him.
Although, this heartache disappeared when I saw Luo Jingxuan's freezing face.
Now, Li Xi is also very glad that Luo Jingxuan's personality is a workaholic, otherwise it would be too much to face an icy beauty every day.
That night, without the cold beauty turning on the air conditioner, Li Xi slept soundly.
The next day, when I woke up early and didn't see Luo Jingxuan, I felt even better.
After spending most of the day leisurely and having an early dinner, Li Xi finally staggered out the door.
Arriving at Xuancao Studio, there was no time for small talk, and makeup started straight away. Su Yu had arrived early in the morning, and by the time Li Xi arrived, makeup was already finished.
"You came at this time, you are not going to have dinner with your husband at home?" When Su Yu mentioned the word "husband", she couldn't help but feel sad. How could such a beautiful woman get married blindly?
Hearing her say this, Li Xi didn't think anything of it and replied to her in a good-tempered manner, "No, it's nothing. I just overslept during my nap."
Tang Tang, holding a makeup brush, was completely shocked. It wasn't that Su Yu's tone was sour, but she imagined Luo Jingxuan and his lovely wife having dinner together, smiling. It was simply unbearable to watch.
He was worried that his words would discredit Luo Jingxuan and ruin the relationship between the newlyweds.
Although they all knew the reason why Luo Jingxuan and Li Xi got married, they would rather destroy ten temples than ruin a marriage. It was not bad for such a lovely girl like Li Xi to be able to have a happy ending with Luo Jingxuan.
So Tang Tang simply kept quiet and focused on the work at hand.
Li Xi and Su Yu didn't talk much. Her makeup tools were constantly moving around on her face, and she was talking so much that her lips could easily kiss Tang Tang's hand. Li Xi simply pursed her lips and remained silent, only letting her lips touch hers when applying lipstick.
By the time Li Xi's makeup was done, it was almost time to go to the cocktail party. After saying hello to Tang Tang, the two of them got in Li Xi's chauffeur's car and headed to the Miradeng Hotel.
Li Xi was almost at the door when she finally remembered to ask, "Aren't we all pretty sure Shen Zhou is a scumbag? Why did we even come to the party to see him?"
“…”
Actually, the two of them first got the invitation to the cocktail party, and then discussed whether Shen Zhou was a scumbag or not. Later, the two of them also tended to regard Shen Zhou as a scumbag in their conversation.
But no one suggested not attending the cocktail party. Instead, they excitedly prepared their dresses and makeup.
Now that I think about it, something seems off. It's as if both of them forgot there was an option to not go to the reception. Is it because the plot is too strong? After all, in the original story, this reception was a major plot point.
It’s not impossible to go home now, but since I’m here, it’s also nice to watch a show at the same time.
Su Yu thought for a while and said, "Since we're here, let's have some fun."
The two reached an agreement and entered the venue with the invitation.
Before crossing over, Li Xi had attended a cocktail party organized by the company. It was a small event, held to reward employees. The attendees were all colleagues, and they were dressed casually. The atmosphere was similar to a gathering with friends.
Before coming, Li Xi had already imagined that the cocktail parties hosted by wealthy families and large companies would be different from the "cocktail parties" she had experienced. But when she arrived at the scene, Li Xi realized that it was not just different, but completely different.
Not to mention the obvious things like venues, drinks, food, and clothing, the difference lies in the amount of money.
What’s really different is the atmosphere.
The main theme of the cocktail parties Li Xi had attended before was eating and drinking. People would chat, but the topics were mostly about family matters.
The theme of the cocktail party I'm attending is celebratory, but the main theme is socializing. There are many people, but it's not noisy. There is food, but hardly anyone eats a lot, at most a small piece of cake.
Although everyone had a glass of wine, few people actually drank it. They just took a sip when chatting with others.
It was the first time for Li Xi and Su Yu to attend such a cocktail party, so they were inevitably a little nervous and couldn't help looking around.
