"Alright, alright, don't be angry. We'll teach her a lesson when we get back," Wu Qianqian said from the side. Mingxiu nodded, feeling wronged. "Xiuer," Zheng Shuang's voice came from afar. Mingxiu's face stiffened as she looked at the three onlookers laughing uncontrollably.
The group spent some time in Hengdian, just in time for Kangxi's return. Mingxiu then introduced Kangxi to her friends.
At the dinner table, Wu Qianqian and the others looked at the man opposite them. He was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist, and clothes that they couldn't identify the brand of, but which looked very expensive. They also noticed his exquisite and deep-set features. The women swallowed hard.
In the end, it was Sun Xuejing who came out. After all, her family often dealt with handsome people like this, but she really didn't expect Mingxiu's husband to be so good-looking.
The four of them winked at Mingxiu; they were so nervous, they didn't know why.
Mingxiu looked on with amusement at the four people who had become incredibly reserved, and introduced them to each other: "This is my husband Ye Xuan, and these four are my friends Sun Xue, Zheng Shuang, Lin Weiwei, and Wu Qianqian."
"Hello everyone, I'm so sorry for the poor hospitality. I was away on business and couldn't come back. This is a gift I brought for you all. I hope you won't mind. Please take care of my wife from now on," Kangxi said politely.
The four people opposite them exchanged glances, unsure of what to say, and finally agreed to turn their attention to Sun Xue. Lin Weiwei was socially awkward, Wu Qianqian wasn't used to saying such polite things, and Zheng Shuang didn't seem to care, but Sun Xue was clearly more comfortable with these kinds of conversations, so the three of them left the topic to her.
Sun Xue's head was stiff, and she forced a smile: "You're too kind. Mingxiu is our friend, so it's only right that we do this."
Kangxi nodded, smiling gently.
But from the perspective of the four people opposite, it wasn't like that at all. For some reason, even though the other person was smiling happily, the four of them were still a little nervous.
Seeing everyone's tense expressions, Mingxiu tugged at Kangxi's clothes, signaling him to quickly suppress his imposing aura, as everyone was terrified.
After Mingxiu pulled on Kangxi's clothes, the temperature in the room suddenly rose a bit, and Kangxi didn't seem so scary anymore. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mingxiu mediated the situation, and everyone ate quite happily.
After finishing their meal, Mingxiu and Kangxi went upstairs first, and the four of them returned to Sun Xue's room and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I was so scared! Mingxiu's husband has such an intimidating aura that it made me a little nervous," Lin Weiwei said softly, sitting on the bed.
Wu Qianqian quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, it's really scary, but she's also really good to Mingxiu. She served him food and carried his bowl during the meal. She's so attentive." Then she added with some envy: "I really want to find a husband like that. It's so nice to be treated differently."
Sun Xue smiled. After observing Mingxiu all night, she realized that her husband was indeed very good to her. Hmm, very good indeed.
"Well, although I don't want to interrupt your exclamations, I still suggest you take a look at what's inside the box before you say anything," Zheng Shuang said quietly from the side.
Upon hearing this, the group remembered they had a gift. They quickly opened it to see what was inside, and were stunned the moment they opened it.
"I... I didn't see wrong, did I?" Wu Qianqian said uncertainly.
"I didn't see wrong, my God! Who is Mingxiu's husband? He gave her gold! That's amazing!" Zheng Shuang had recovered from her shock.
"Gold is too light, this skincare product is amazing!" Sun Xue exclaimed in surprise, holding the skincare product in the box. "I know this skincare product. It's a custom-made product by a master. Only people with money and status can get it. The effect is super good. I've always wanted it, but other people's orders are already booked for years, so I never had a chance to get it. I didn't expect to receive it today, hahaha."
"Is it that amazing?" Lin Weiwei looked at the gold bracelet on her hand. It was heavy and obviously very valuable.
"I've made up my mind, from now on Mingxiu will be my best friend," Sun Xue said cheerfully as she opened the bottle.
"I've made up my mind too. From now on, she's my best friend. Nobody can take her from me!" Wu Qianqian quickly added.
"Who said that? It's mine! I'm Mingxiu's best friend!" Lin Weiwei and Zheng Shuang couldn't help but join the group chat.
The house was very soundproof; there was a chorus of cheers below, but nothing could be heard above.
Kangxi gave Mingxiu's gift to her: "I heard from my business trip that their skincare products are very good. Do you want to try them? If you like them, then buy them."
Mingxiu was also very happy; after all, who wouldn't like a gift?
"Why are you back today? Didn't you say you'd have to wait a while longer?" Mingxiu said, trying on the skincare products Kangxi had bought for her.
"I originally planned to stay a few more days, but things went smoothly and have been resolved, so I came back ahead of schedule," Kangxi said calmly.
Mingxiu nodded and sat in Kangxi's lap: "Alright, we've discussed it and we're going to go have some fun. You can enjoy your meal at home."
Kangxi chuckled, pinching Mingxiu's cheek and saying, "My dear wife, you should know who your husband is. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Mingxiu quickly freed her face from Kangxi's grasp.
"Alright, alright, it's alright then. I'll trouble you to work even more, and I'll bring you some gifts back later." Mingxiu said, kissing Kangxi's cheek.
Kangxi touched the warm body in his arms, his expression gradually darkening, and said in a hoarse voice, "There's no need to bring it back. I can collect my gift now." After saying that, he pressed Mingxiu's head and kissed her directly.
Mingxiu wrapped her arms around Kangxi's neck, and the two began to warm up to each other.
The next day, Mingxiu went out with several of her girlfriends, leaving Kangxi alone in the empty room.
Inside the car, the five girls chattered away. Mingxiu looked out the window at the scenery, feeling happy. Going out with her girlfriends was something she had never experienced in either of her two lives, so Mingxiu was very happy.
Mingxiu went out to play, so Kangxi had to get back to his busy work.
His team was almost assembled. Kangxi himself was not capable of being the chief director, but he could find someone else to be the chief director. Kangxi directly invited Chen Sheng, with whom he had a pleasant working relationship.
"You brat, you actually want to make a movie? I never knew you had this idea. Why didn't you say so before?" Chen Sheng said in surprise when he saw Kangxi again.
