A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

"Mr. Li...Mr. Li? Are you going on a date?"

Chen Yan, holding her coffee, glanced at Li Xixue with a strange expression.

Wearing a black knitted dress, with her hair half-down and her lips in a warmer shade, her entire demeanor was completely different from during the day.

How so?

I always feel that she's a bit out of sync with how she used to be.

Moreover, his expression was no longer aloof; instead, he had a kind of youthful innocence.

It's worth noting that President Li Xixue has always maintained a cool and aloof persona at the company, so her demeanor today has changed rather abruptly.

"I have a business dinner tonight."

After saying that, Li Xixue picked up her bag and walked directly towards the elevator, her steps somewhat hurried.

"A business dinner?"

Chen Yan quickly caught up, her expression gossipy: "But didn't you cancel your dinner party tonight?"

Li Xixue stopped in her tracks.

"another."

"another?"

Chen Yan responded with an "oh".

Li Xixue then added, "It was added at the last minute."

"With whom?"

Chen Yan walked around to the front of Li Xixue, backing away, her expression utterly irritating.

It's worth noting that Li Xixue never bothered to change her clothes when attending business dinners in the past.

However, she not only changed her clothes today, but also put on a special makeover, even choosing a different shade of lipstick.

Obviously, something's not right!

has a problem!

"You have a lot of questions."

Li Xixue frowned.

Well, she's getting anxious again...

Chen Yan narrowed her eyes; this was too suspicious.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened.

Li Xixue walked in quickly and pressed the button for the first floor.

The elevator doors closed.

She stood in the elevator and exhaled.

He looked down at himself.

Isn't the V-neck too low?

She reached up and pulled her collar up a little.

She quickly realized something was wrong.

It was put down again.

Ding.

The elevator stopped on the twelfth floor.

The door opened.

Several employees walked in.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

The three greeted each other almost reflexively.

Li Xixue nodded, her gaze fixed straight ahead.

Then, the atmosphere became a little strange.

The three employees stood side by side, glancing at Li Xixue from time to time.

Black knit dress, V-neck, hair half-down...

The female CEO who is usually so aloof that people dare not approach her is dressed like this today?

It’s incredible!

Ding.

We've reached the first floor.

The moment the door opened, Li Xixue stepped out first, her pace quickening slightly compared to usual.

Behind her, three employees watched her leave, and their whispers finally erupted.

"Am I seeing things? President Li is actually wearing such a sexy dress today?"

"Oh my god, is CEO Li in love? Is she going on a date with her boyfriend?"

"I think it's possible, otherwise it doesn't make sense..."

"What kind of man could possibly capture the heart of our aloof CEO?"

"Could it be me?"

"Who's peeing yellow? Quick, wake him up!"

"..."

After Li Xixue stepped out of the elevator, she did not go to the parking lot to get her car.

Because Lu Yang said he would come to pick him up.

Li Xixue stood at the entrance of the Xueyu Group building.

The evening breeze was light, and when it blew by, my skirt swayed slightly.

She glanced at the watch on her wrist.

Ten minutes left.

She arrived early.

Thinking of this, Li Xixue took two steps to the side.

She didn't want to stand at the main entrance; it was too conspicuous.

If someone in the company sees her, a CEO changing into a skirt and standing at the door waiting for someone late at night, what kind of talk would that make?

She stood in an inconspicuous corner, reapplied her lipstick, then opened her phone and scrolled through her chat history with Lu Yang.

The last message was still my own reply: "Okay, sure."

That's it.

He didn't say where he was going specifically.

Li Xixue glanced at her watch again.

It's exactly 7 o'clock.

Time is up.

Li Xixue put her phone away and looked towards the intersection.

no one.

Wasn't it supposed to be seven o'clock?

What about people?

Li Xixue thought for a moment.

Maybe... there's a traffic jam?

Another ten minutes passed.

Li Xixue switched to carrying a different handbag.

She took out her phone again, opened the chat window, and glanced at it.

No new messages.

Should we send a message to ask?

No.

What if it makes me seem like I care too much?

Perhaps something happened on the way that caused the delay.

She comforted herself.

Hmm, let's wait a bit longer.

She put her phone away again and started walking back and forth, from one end of the corner to the other and back again.

A passing security guard couldn't help but glance at her twice.

I go?

What is the CEO doing today?

Are you waiting for someone?

wrong.

What kind of person could make her wait for him personally?

Li Xixue stopped, stood still, and pretended to be waiting for a car.

"Huh? Mr. Li? What are you doing?"

A familiar voice came from behind me.

Li Xixue turned her head, and just then Chen Yan came out from inside, holding car keys in her hand and carrying a bag on her shoulder.

"Why are you still at the company?"

"I……"

Li Xixue couldn't explain it clearly.

After all, she can't exactly say she's waiting for a man, can she?

The worst part is that the other person was late!

She quickly changed the subject: "Chen Yan, what are you doing here?"

"I'm off work."

Chen Yan said matter-of-factly.

Then she pointed to the time displayed on her phone.

It's already past seven o'clock.

Chen Yan frowned, then her tone changed: "Hey? President Li, what about you? Didn't you say you were going to a business dinner? It's been over half an hour, why aren't you there yet?"

"I'm waiting..."

Li Xixue remained expressionless.

"Waiting for whom?"

"...a partner."

Chen Yan responded with an "oh".

But she dragged out that "oh" for ages, her expression screaming "I don't believe you!"

You know, it's always been others who wait for her, there's no reason for her to wait for others.

This makes no sense at all.

Chen Yan glanced at the time. "Which clueless business partner is it? Should I call and give them a piece of my mind for you?"

"Need not."

"Then you're still waiting?"

Li Xixue did not reply.

Chen Yan stood to the side, watching her boss standing in the evening breeze, wearing a knitted dress that she never usually wore, her hair half-loose, and holding a mobile phone in her hand.

This doesn't look like they're waiting for a partner.

She clearly looks like she's waiting for her boyfriend.

And the other party was late!

To be fair, it takes guts to leave President Li Xixue hanging!

But Chen Yan saw through it but didn't say anything.

"Would you like me to wait with you?"

"unnecessary."

"Then I..."

"You can leave now."

Chen Yan nodded and was about to walk towards the parking lot.

Li Xixue was still standing there.

The evening breeze lifted her skirt slightly, and she reached out to press it down.

At the same time, Li Xixue's patience had reached its limit.

She clutched her phone, her face contorted with rage despite the thin layer of makeup.

Half an hour!

I was a full half hour late!

In all her years of life, Li Xixue has never waited for anyone for more than a second.

She waited for a full half hour today.

it is good.

well.

Lu Yang.

She remembered it.

Li Xixue turned around, her high heels making a crisp sound on the ground, preparing to walk towards the parking lot.

then.

A taxi turned from the intersection and stopped at the entrance.

The car door opened.

Lu Yang got out of the back seat.

He paid the fare, closed the door, and turned around to see Li Xixue standing a few steps away.

"Huh? You're down?"

Lu Yang glanced at the time. "I thought you were still upstairs. I was just about to call you."

Li Xixue turned around, and the anger on her face was swallowed back the moment she saw Lu Yang.

Then he uttered a few words:

"Actually... I just arrived too."
