Shi Heng held her hand tightly and said, "Okay, I'll pick you up after the board meeting."
After returning to the villa, Gu Youran had just changed into her nightgown when Shi Heng's phone rang.
Pressing the hands-free button, Shen Yuanbai's voice came through the microphone, "Brother Heng, we are at the Emperor Club. Lu Yichen is here with the souvenir you requested."
Shi Heng turned around and said, "Youbao, do you want to go with us?"
She shook her head and covered her mouth with her hands to yawn slightly, "I'm so tired."
She had gone to bed late last night, and he kept her awake until dawn. Now she just wanted to have a good sleep.
Shi Heng watched her get into bed, leaned over and kissed her forehead, "Go to bed early."
Only when her breathing became even and long did he quietly turn off the desk lamp and leave.
…
At the same time, at the Emperor Club.
Lu Yichen opened the door of the box and walked out to answer the phone.
While listening to the supplier's explanation on the other end of the phone, he casually looked at the abstract painting on the wall.
"Okay, then send the samples over next Tuesday."
After hanging up the phone, he turned around and prepared to go back to the box when a familiar figure came towards him.
It was a woman, wearing a red dress as red as fire, with long hair cascading down to her waist.
Lu Yichen blurted out: "Sister-in-law, why did you come so quickly? Where is the boss?"
The woman didn't answer, but walked towards him in her high heels, her gait swaying gracefully, her red skirt swaying gently with her steps.
As the distance got closer, Lu Yichen realized that he had recognized the wrong person.
Although the facial features are almost identical, this woman has a red teardrop mole at the left corner of her eye.
More importantly, the woman had a charming smile on her face that Gu Youran would never have.
"Sir, you got the wrong person, didn't you?"
She approached ambiguously, and the scent of perfume hit him in the face. It was a complex scent that Lu Yichen had never smelled before, both sweet and dangerous.
He was so frightened that he took two steps back and bumped into the wall.
"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person." He forced a smile, his heart beating like a drum.
They look so similar. Except for the teardrop mole and the difference in temperament, she is simply a carbon copy of Gu Youran.
The woman took a step forward and gently placed her red-polished fingers on his arm.
"It's okay, I'm glad to meet you, Mr. Lu."
"Do you know me?" Lu Yichen's pupils shrank.
"Who in the industry doesn't know the chief perfumer of 'Xiangyue Tiancheng'?"
She blinked, and the teardrop mole seemed to speak.
"I'm Vivian, we'll see you soon."
After saying that, she withdrew her hand and walked away with elegant steps in her high heels.
Lu Yichen stood there for a few seconds before rushing back to the box as if waking from a dream. The door made a muffled sound when he pushed it open.
In the box, Shen Yuanbai and Ding Lihui were discussing the latest stock market conditions. They both looked up when they heard the voice.
Shen Yuanbai jokingly asked, "What's wrong? Did you see a ghost?"
"It's scarier than seeing a ghost!" Lu Yichen sat down on the sofa, grabbed the whiskey in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
"I just saw a woman outside who looked exactly like my sister-in-law!"
Ding Lihui put down his laptop and asked, "Exactly the same?"
"Except for the red teardrop mole at the corner of the left eye, everything else is exactly like they were cast in the same mold!"
Lu Yichen gestured, "Even their height and build are similar, but their temperaments are completely different."
"Sister-in-law is that kind of... you know, clean and neat feeling. This woman has a demonic aura all over her body."
Shen Yuanbai took out his phone thoughtfully and quickly scrolled through the screen. "Wait, I think I saw it online...ah, I found it."
He turned the phone towards the two of them, "Is this the person? Vivian, the spokesperson for 'Mirror Fragrance'."
Lu Yichen took a closer look and gasped, "That's her! She doesn't look that similar in the photo, but she's amazing in person... At that moment, I really thought my sister-in-law was joking with me."
Ding Lihui immediately became alert. "This is such a coincidence. Does the boss know?"
"I haven't told him yet..." Before Lu Yichen finished speaking, the door of the box was pushed open again.
Shi Heng walked in wearing a well-tailored black coat.
His eyes swept over the solemn expressions of the three people, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Lu Yichen stood up immediately, "Boss, I just saw a woman outside who looks almost identical to my sister-in-law!"
Shi Heng's expression instantly turned cold. He walked to the sofa and sat down, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest. "Vivian?"
"You know her?" Lu Yichen asked in surprise.
"Yeah. She's been very active in the industry lately and is the spokesperson for 'Magic Mirror Fragrance'."
"I started investigating after noticing her appearance, but she's hiding well, and I haven't found anything suspicious so far."
Shen Yuanbai said, "'Fantasy Mirror Fragrance' is a newly registered company in Country Y, and they're now entering the Chinese market. They chose Vivian as their spokesperson... Could it be because of you and your sister-in-law?"
Shi Heng's eyes became sharp. "Perhaps there is such a possibility. I will continue to investigate."
He turned to Lu Yichen, "What did she tell you?"
Lu Yichen recalled, "She called me 'Mr. Lu' and said she knew me as the perfumer of 'Xiangyue Tiancheng'... She also said she looked forward to meeting me next time. Boss, there's definitely something wrong!"
Shi Heng's brows furrowed even more tightly. "She knows you, so it's more than just a matter of looking similar."
He took out his phone and quickly sent a few messages, "I'll send more people to investigate."
The atmosphere in the box was a little solemn for a moment.
To ease the atmosphere, Lu Yichen took out an exquisite gift box from beside the sofa and said, "Boss, the final version of the gift is ready."
He opened the gift box and saw two crystal perfume bottles placed side by side on the black velvet lining, one black and one white, with elegant shapes.
On the front of the bottle, the gold-plated letters "S&Y" sparkle under the light, and the wedding date of March 11 is engraved below, with tiny diamonds inlaid around the edge of the numbers.
Lu Yichen excitedly introduced, "We named this couple's perfume 'Time Promise', and each set has a laser engraved number."
"The regular edition is 1,314 yuan, and the special edition is 5,200 yuan. Guests with wedding invitations can receive the special edition."
Shi Heng gently picked up the white bottle with his slender fingers and immediately narrowed his eyes.
"This is……"
"Aquamarine!" Lu Yichen leaned in to explain, "Each special edition bottle has a March birthstone embedded in the bottom, symbolizing marital happiness. Your set is numbered SY0001, signifying the beginning of 'time'!"
The perfume spun in Shi Heng's palm, and the gem reflected a dreamy blue light.
He suddenly suggested, "We can announce at the press conference the day after tomorrow that couples who get their marriage certificate on March 11th can receive the same special edition product at any Xiangyue Tiancheng counter nationwide with their marriage certificate."
"Ah? How many sets do we have to give out?" Lu Yichen almost bit his tongue. "Boss, this set costs 3,300 yuan."
"Unlimited—"
Three words, powerful and resounding.
Lu Yichen suddenly understood.
Shi Heng wants their wedding to be the blessed beginning of all love.
