Time flew by and it was time to leave work.
Lin Zhenzhen was sitting in her seat packing her things when Xiaoling put her arm around her shoulder.
"What, not going on a date tonight?"
Lin Zhenzhen shook her head with a smile: "What date?!"
"Tsk, it seems that mysterious man isn't very helpful. Why didn't he invite you to dinner?"
Lin Zhenzhen lowered her head: "Xiaoling, please stop making fun of me."
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more." Xiaoling picked up her bag. "Since there are no men around, then the time after get off work belongs to us girls. Let's go get some barbecue."
Xiaoling also invited several friends from other departments.
They were probably all members of the so-called "handsome guy licking screen group" from before. They ate for two hours, and the lewd laughter never stopped.
"President Huo changed his hairstyle today. Did you see it? He styled it into a flashy side part. Oh my god, he looks so handsome that I'm screaming with excitement."
"Holy crap, a new hairstyle? The eternally aloof boss suddenly spreading his tail feathers like a peacock? Is something wrong with our boss?"
"I think it's very likely! I've seen him smiling at his phone several times when I went to the 56th floor to deliver documents. And, the key point is..."
"What what?"
Everyone crowded their heads closer.
Only Lin Zhenzhen sat quietly in the corner grilling meat.
"There's a pinkish thing in the boss's office today!"
Everyone gasped in shock.
Lin Zhenzhen paused in her action of picking up green peppers from the lettuce leaves.
Xiaoling threw herself into her arms, wailing, "What should I do? I'm so heartbroken I can't breathe! My mental support for going to work has collapsed! President Huo is having an affair behind my back!"
Lin Zhenzhen patted her head and carefully comforted her, "Don't be sad, it's still far from over."
"Impossible! If President Huo is already using women's products, it means he's already been taken care of!"
Lin Zhenzhen thought to herself: He's been won over, but I haven't agreed yet.
Perhaps feeling that confirming their relationship over the phone was somewhat informal, Huo Yeshuo interrupted Lin Zhenzhen before she could give an answer.
Tell her to give her time to think it over, and that it won't be too late to tell him during dinner tonight.
Unfortunately, Huo Yeshuo's schedule changed at the last minute. He left for a business trip to a neighboring city after get off work and wouldn't be back until tomorrow afternoon.
After the meal, Lin Zhenzhen, who was the only one present who hadn't drunk alcohol, saw everyone else into their cars before heading home.
Huo Yeshuo had just landed and sent her a picture of the sky above the airport.
The bright moon was half-hidden in the night, surrounded by a layer of clouds as light as a veil.
We've arrived. The temperature here is slightly lower than in Haicheng.
Remember to wear more layers so you don't catch a cold.
Lin Zhenzhen sent a voice message. Upon hearing a car horn honking beside her, Huo Yeshuo immediately asked, "Not back yet?"
I just had dinner with my colleagues and we're about to head home.
Okay, send me a message when you get home.
【Okay! ヾ(?°?°?)??】
Lin Zhenzhen hailed a taxi and arrived home half an hour later.
The smell of barbecue oil stuck to her body and was really unpleasant. Lin Zhenzhen texted Huo Yeshuo on her phone to let him know she was safe and sound, and was about to rush into the bathroom.
The other end sent a message: "[You'll receive a package soon, please pick it up.]"
The doorbells rang almost simultaneously.
"Is this Miss Ling? You have a local package delivered. Please sign for it."
Lin Zhenzhen opened the door and took the beautifully packaged gift box from the courier.
However, the sender shown on the express delivery slip was not Huo Yeshuo, but Mr. Lu.
Lu Yangyun also delivered something to her in the middle of the night? What's wrong with him this time?
Lin Zhenzhen hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to open the package first.
Cut a hole in it, and you'll see a wrapping paper covered with a big brand logo.
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly felt a bit bored and tossed the package aside.
"thump."
Lin Zhenzhen turned around and saw a half-open pink jewelry box lying on the floor, which looked like it had slipped out of the package.
Lin Zhenzhen picked it up and opened it. Inside was a pair of simple diamond earrings. The quality was average, and the diamonds on them were only about 7 or 8 points in size. They were definitely not anything valuable.
Lu Yangyun may be a jerk, but surely he wouldn't be this stingy?
Sure enough, Lin Zhenzhen found a card that had been left in the hidden compartment.
Xiao Zhen, my feelings for you are like these earrings; no matter how the world changes, they will never change in the slightest.
Lin Zhenzhen read through the long explanation on the document with a blank expression and roughly figured out the origin of the earring.
"How boring and childish."
About ten minutes later, the things Huo Yeshuo sent arrived.
"Assistant Zhang, why did you deliver this?"
Zhang Minglang chuckled twice: "It's not safe for a girl to open the door to a stranger at night. This is Mr. Huo's well-intentioned advice."
Lin Zhenzhen opened the door wide: "Come in and have a glass of water."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare. Oh, no, I didn't mean that." Zhang Minglang quickly corrected himself, "No need, no need."
"Anyway, I won't bother you any longer. I'll take you to the banquet tomorrow afternoon, and Mr. Huo will come directly to meet you after he gets off the plane."
Lin Zhenzhen smiled and nodded: "Then I'll trouble you."
Zhang Minglang scratched his head, as if somewhat embarrassed, and began to speak.
"Also, Mr. Huo will be working late tonight in order to be able to get back on time tomorrow."
"So he asked me to tell you to get some rest, because he... is really looking forward to seeing you in this dress tomorrow."
