"Jingyan, you did a great job keeping this a secret. You just showed up at the scene all of a sudden."
Li Shuyan was actually lamenting how great it is for young people to date these days. She had two relationships, neither of which were particularly exciting, and both involved bad boyfriends, so she wasn't planning on dating anymore; she wanted to be a non-marriage advocate.
"No... I originally wanted to give Luo Luo a surprise."
Lan Jingyan scratched his head awkwardly and looked at Li Shuyan with embarrassment.
"Hehe, it's rare to see Jingyan with this expression. Your aunt has to go to work in D country this afternoon. Why don't you take Luoluo back first?"
The unexpected job forced her to change her plans, and she then told Yan Xiluo about it.
"Luo Luo, I'm sorry, I was planning to go shopping with you."
"It's okay, Auntie. We can go shopping again next time."
Then Lan Jingyan will have to accompany her shopping, since she's already here.
After lunch, Li Shuyan left F country and flew to D country.
"If your aunt can't go shopping with you, then I'll go with you instead?"
She probably still wants to go shopping, right? Since we're already here, we can't go back empty-handed.
"That's exactly what I was thinking! You understand me so well, Ayan."
I don't think he's a completely straight man; he's quite thoughtful.
"What do you want to buy? I'll buy it for you. Oh, and this is for you."
His woman should spend his money, Lan Jingyan took out a bank card with no spending limit and handed it to Yan Xiluo.
"From now on, when you buy things, use my card."
"You've already cut off my employment before we're even married? Are you trying to keep me as a sugar daddy?"
Yan Xiluo recognized the unlimited card at a glance and teased Lan Jingyan, saying that she didn't want to accept it and that she was capable of buying whatever she wanted.
“How could I dare to support you? Do you think you’re someone I can support with just a credit card? This is your allowance. I feel incredibly proud when you spend my money, and it motivates me to earn more. Besides, I didn’t have any goals when I was making money before, but it’s different now. I’m making money just to spend on you.”
Yes, before, he made money simply to make money, for no other reason than to make money. Now, he makes money so that the girl in front of him can buy whatever she wants and to give her the best within his means.
"Okay, then I'll accept it. Thank you, Ayan."
Hearing these words, she was deeply moved. She took the card from Lan Jingyan's hand, but accepting it didn't mean she would use it every time, unless it was in front of him.
"Let's go, let's get in the car!"
Lan Jingyan put his arm around Yan Xiluo's shoulder and walked towards the car, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
Commercial Street
There's a very famous perfume brand, called Xunxiang in Chinese. The founder is a woman from China, and she's a renowned perfumer named Lucy. The store sells three different perfumes personally blended by her each month; the remaining styles are developed by other perfumers in-house. Lucy rarely accepts custom orders.
"Luo Luo, this perfume is pretty good. My mom likes this brand too. Do you want to go check it out?"
Girls probably all like to smell nice, right? Luo Luo always smells nice.
"Okay, sure."
It's been a while since I've been to the store, so I thought I'd go check it out.
As the two entered, before Yan Xiluo could even make a shushing gesture, the shop manager greeted them first.
"Lucy, you're here?"
The store manager is French and only speaks French.
"Yes, I was just passing by on business and thought I'd drop by the shop."
Yan Xiluo was also speaking fluent French with the store manager. She hadn't wanted Lan Jingyan to know her identity as a perfumer and the founder of Xunxiang, fearing that he would be intimidated by her too many identities. However, the store manager had spoken too quickly.
Looking back, Lan Jingyan stopped in surprise and remained motionless.
"Lucy? Is this the Lucy I'm thinking of?"
He simply couldn't grasp the signal at once. No wonder Luo Luo gave him a perfume she had personally blended, and it smelled so good! So she was a big shot in the perfumery world?
"Okay, come and take a look."
Yan Xiluo looked at the man who was standing there in a daze with doting eyes, and ran back to pull him inside.
"My fiancée, how many of your identities are unknown to me? Can you tell me all at once? My heart can't take this surprise!"
He felt that Yan Xiluo was so outstanding! He felt as if he was not good enough for her?
"Hmm~ No! I'll wait until you figure it out slowly!"
She squinted at him, shook her head, and acted coquettishly.
At this moment, Lan Jingyan felt that she looked like a little white rabbit!
"Lucy, is this your boyfriend?"
The store manager and Yan Xiluo are good friends. Yan Xiluo asked her to manage the store. The store manager is the owner of the brand, so their relationship is so good that they can call each other by their first names. They don't need to be in a superior-subordinate relationship at the company.
"No, he is my fiancé."
Yan Xiluo smiled faintly.
Lan Jingyan was also fluent in French, so he naturally understood what Yan Xiluo was saying. He was overjoyed and his joy was about to spread across his face.
The store manager was utterly shocked! When he had a heart-to-heart talk with Yan Xiluo before, she had said that she didn't want to be in a relationship so early, but now she already had a fiancé!
"What? That surprises me! Congratulations, Lucy! I'll be a bridesmaid at your wedding!"
This was an agreement between her and Yan Xiluo: whoever got married first would be the bridesmaid, and the shop manager was still single.
"Of course, absolutely."
Of course she remembers!
"Then you all go ahead and look around, I'll go and attend to the other guests."
"good."
When the store manager saw a new customer enter the store, he quickly went over to greet him.
Yan Xiluo and Lan Jingyan held hands as they savored the perfumes.
"Ayan, you just said that Auntie likes the fragrance from Xunxiang, right? I'll mix a special one for her when I have time. Could you ask her what kind of fragrance she likes?"
She was able to commission a custom-made perfume for Lan Jingyan's mother.
"Won't this be too much trouble for you? You have so many things to do!"
He felt sorry for his girl; she had too many roles, which meant she must have a lot more to do, and he was afraid she would be too tired.
"It's okay, it'll be fixed soon, it won't take much time."
She knew what Lan Jingyan was thinking, but that wasn't something he needed to worry about. She was happy to do something that would make her future mother-in-law happy.
“Ayan, I’m thinking of launching a new solid perfume recently because I’ve seen a lot of people break perfume bottles on Weibo, and I understand how that feels. So I decided to make a solid perfume so that it won’t be broken.”
Perfume is liquid, which can be inconvenient at times, while balm perfume is a solid paste that is less likely to break and is easier to carry.
She told Lan Jingyan about her plans, wanting to hear his better suggestions.
"That's a great idea. But the container probably can't be made of ceramic like traditional balms, otherwise it will break."
Yan Xiluo had already thought of this.
"I'm also thinking about this container. I need to design it myself. I'll consider the material when I get back."
She demands the best in everything she does, and she doesn't plan to launch new products so quickly without sufficient preparation.
