The box was right on the bed, easily visible. She'd even put a greeting card inside, explaining it was meant to be a little mischievous and tease him, so she hadn't mentioned it during the day, giving it to him secretly.
Um?
Why is there no movement?
Didn't he see it?
Tong Su found it a bit strange. She opened the door and peeked out, but his bedroom door was tightly closed and quiet.
I looked out the window again, and Huo Xuanxi had actually turned off the light!
What's going on?
There's no sound from the bedroom!?
Didn't he notice?
Tongsu couldn't believe it.
Given this man's personality, it's impossible for him to keep a low profile, so why is he so calm? Tong Su wondered to herself, feeling both uneasy and suspicious.
She couldn't help but want to ask, but with the lights off, she was too embarrassed to go to the man's room. It would be too shameful to shamelessly knock on the door and ask. She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep well.
The next day, Tongsu woke up late as expected. She rubbed her eyes, felt dizzy and lightheaded as she went downstairs. As soon as she arrived at the dining room, her eyes widened in surprise.
He stared at the man sitting at the restaurant table, reading a newspaper.
The northern air was bitterly cold in November, but the underfloor heating in the villa complex had already been turned on, making the house warm and cozy. Tongsu felt hot even in just a single layer of clothing.
But the man was wearing gray loungewear, and there was a thick black... around his neck.
Indoors, it's over 20 degrees Celsius!
He was wearing a thick wool scarf!
"morning."
Tong Su: "...Aren't you hot?"
Huo Xuanxi said calmly, "Hot? Of course not. For some reason, it's quite cold indoors today, my neck is freezing. Luckily you just gave me a scarf, it fits perfectly."
He smiled and said, "I really like your gift."
Tong Su looked down at her thin clothes, then at the temperature reading of over 20 degrees Celsius on the thermometer, revealing an expression that was hard to describe.
But Huo Xuanxi's "flirtatious" actions went far beyond that.
After breakfast, Tongsu went to school, while he went to the company.
In front of the Huo Group building, the wind was biting cold. The white-collar workers were dressed smartly, prioritizing style over warmth. They wore only a base layer and a thin trench coat, which made them look noticeably bulky.
But today, an even more remarkable person has appeared.
The president, who always uses the presidential elevator and rarely appears in public, drove his car to the building entrance openly and slowly got out.
A haute couture handmade black suit, paired with a rough handmade wool scarf.
Although they both have the word "handmade" in their names, they are clearly not in the same league!
Isn't the CEO supposed to be very picky, never using cheap stuff? When did he start using such inexpensive products?
What is this? Is it some new fashion trend? They were overwhelmed and couldn't tell which brand released this new scarf.
However, even after staring at it until their eyes hurt, no one could recognize which company had released this new product.
Everyone just watched as the CEO, looking smug and with his head held high, strode confidently into the building entrance as if showing off.
Today, Huo's Group has an international video conference to hold. Vice President Lin came to Huo Xuanxi with the documents in hand: "Sir, you..."
He slipped and nearly stumbled, staring dumbfounded at Huo Xuanxi: "Sir...?"
The air conditioning in the building is set to 24 degrees Celsius, right?
Master, you're wearing a thick scarf! What's wrong? Is your neck injured? Are you extremely sensitive to the cold?
Upon arriving at the conference room, Huo Xuanxi remained with her scarf, calmly concluding the meeting amidst the shifty gazes of countless people both on and off the video screen. Throughout the meeting, she repeatedly adjusted the scarf's position to draw everyone's attention…
Then the person on the other end of the video call was so stunned by the scarf that they became distracted and suffered a huge loss in the negotiation.
