"What day is it?" Lu Wanzheng was completely confused.
"No way!" Jiang Qinyi's incredulous voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone. "Are you sure you don't know what day it is today? Are you sure you're dating Xiao Qifeng?"
Jiang Qinyi prefers to call Xiao Qifeng by his name in private, rather than calling him "boss" like Song Zhishu does.
Is there a necessary connection between these two things?
Lu Wanzheng did not understand the cause and effect relationship.
She and Xiao Qifeng had only been together for a short time, so there was no anniversary to speak of. Besides, she remembered that Xiao Qifeng's birthday was in June, which had long passed, so it certainly didn't have much to do with this.
Furthermore, she couldn't recall any other days related to Xiao Qifeng.
Jiang Qinyi rubbed her forehead, her eyes wide with disbelief, and said, "I really feel sorry for Xiao Qifeng. You two have started dating, but you didn't even know it was a special day today."
Lu Wanzheng: "..."
So after all that talking, I still didn't tell her what day it was.
"Sister, let's get straight to the point. What day is it today?" Lu Wanzheng walked out of the room, poured herself a glass of water, and sat down at the dining table to drink it in big gulps.
"Today is the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, do you understand? Today is Qixi Festival, the traditional Valentine's Day."
"Oh." So it's Qixi Festival. "So?" she said matter-of-factly.
Jiang Qinyi: "..."
This sister is probably clueless.
Jiang Qinyi: "Don't you want to spend some time alone with Xiao Qifeng, exchange gifts, and go on a date?"
“We spend every day alone together.” As for gifts, she felt that Xiao Qifeng didn’t lack them, and since no one accompanied her shopping, she didn’t want to go to crowded places at all.
"Let's go on a date!" Jiang Qinyi was a little excited. Shouldn't people in the honeymoon phase go out more often?
Lu Wanzheng: "He doesn't really want to go out. A few days ago, he went out and got harassed by someone. It's annoying."
Jiang Qinyi genuinely hadn't expected Lu Wanzheng to have a legitimate reason for not going out. "You're hopeless," she said, then hung up the phone, no longer wanting to talk to Lu Wanzheng.
Lu Wanzheng: "..."
Hearing the busy signal, she put her phone aside.
She searched for Potato everywhere. After a few days of getting used to the environment, Potato could now wander around the house freely. Moreover, it loved to run to the balcony, find a sunny spot, and lie there for half a day.
Sure enough, she found the potato in the familiar spot on the balcony. There used to be several potted plants that had turned yellow around the balcony, but Lu Wanzheng had replaced them all with lush green plants in the past few days. The potato, lying on the white floor tiles, looked quite out of place.
"Meow~" Potato heard the noise, and moved its neck slightly, raised its head and squinted at Lu Wanzheng.
Upon seeing who it was, it got up from the ground and ran towards Lu Wanzheng.
Yesterday, its cat bed arrived, and Xiao Qifeng forced it to sleep in it. When it woke up, it saw the empty house and could only go to the balcony on its own.
It was so excited to see Lu Wanzheng now.
However, Lu Wanzheng did not immediately squat down to hug it. Instead, she went to the balcony, picked up the watering can from the corner, and watered the green plants on the balcony appropriately.
She had previously noticed that although there was a watering can on the balcony, it was obviously covered in dust. Considering the withered potted plants on the balcony, she was sure that Xiao Qifeng did not water the potted plants at home.
Since she's at home during this time, we should naturally take good care of her.
Potato first ran from the balcony towards her, then followed her all the way back to the balcony. Now it's rubbing against her feet.
After watering the potatoes, Lu Wanzheng squatted down, picked them up, and walked to the living room. She sat on the sofa and casually scratched the potatoes' chin.
Potato comfortably sticks out its pink little tongue occasionally and licks its lips.
Lu Wanzheng sat cross-legged, thinking that today was Valentine's Day, her first Valentine's Day with Xiao Qifeng, and she should indeed spend a meaningful Valentine's Day with him.
However, she didn't want to go on a date. On such a special day, there would definitely be many couples going out on dates, and the prices at many restaurants would surely be higher. Moreover, there would definitely be a lot of people and long queues.
Instead of going out and squeezing into crowds, it's better to stay home, have a date, and watch TV together.
But wouldn't this be unfair to Xiao Qifeng?
Lu Wanzheng released her hand from scratching Tudou's chin, rested her elbow on the edge of the sofa, and propped her chin up.
She had just started thinking about how to make it up to Xiao Qifeng when her stomach growled at the most inopportune moment.
It was past nine o'clock, and she hadn't eaten breakfast yet; her stomach was completely empty.
She put the potatoes on the sofa, got up and went to the kitchen to make herself a simple breakfast.
She walked to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and paused as she looked at the refrigerator filled with fresh ingredients.
Or... she could prepare lunch for Xiao Qifeng and send it over.
Xiao Qifeng has never come back for lunch during this period.
Previously, Xiao Qifeng was worried that Lu Wanzheng would not be able to find him, so he gave her Su Ge's contact information. Later, she contacted his secretary Su Ge to ask about this matter and learned that Xiao Qifeng's lunch was usually ordered by Su Ge himself.
Since we can't satisfy Xiao Qifeng with gifts, we can only satisfy him with food.
Lu Wanzheng closed the refrigerator door, picked up her phone from the dining table, found Su Ge's number in her contacts, and dialed it.
She held her phone in one hand and placed the pot in the sink with the other, rinsing the pot with water using only one hand.
Suger was probably busy at the moment, because the phone rang for a long time before he answered.
Suger: "Madam, you wanted to see me?"
Judging from his slightly breathless tone, he was probably not in the office and was called back after the phone rang.
Lu Wanzheng: "Secretary Su, take a breath. I'm fine. I just wanted to come over at noon to deliver lunch to Mr. Xiao. You don't need to order lunch for him. Also, could you please keep this from him for me?"
Sugar: "Yes, madam."
He calmly caught his breath. He had been discussing office arrangements with his subordinates when he suddenly heard the ringtone he had specially set for Lu Wanzheng. Worried that something important had happened, he abandoned his subordinates and sprinted back to his desk.
"Oh, right," Lu Wanzheng suddenly said, as if she had just thought of something, "around what time will Mr. Xiao finish work this noon?"
Su Ge opened today's work schedule, which clearly listed Xiao Qifeng's schedule for the day.
His long, slender fingers traced the timeline, stopping at a particular moment.
Su Ge: "President Xiao will finish the morning meeting around 10:30 and then go back to his office to handle documents. Lunch is scheduled for 12:00."
