It was already 8 p.m. when I got home.

Lu Yang stood in the entryway changing his shoes and casually tossed his keys onto the shoe cabinet.

As soon as the living room lights were turned on, Li Xixue slipped into the bedroom before I did.

Lu Yang took two steps toward the bedroom and heard a rather loud noise coming from the walk-in closet.

I opened the door and took a look.

Li Xixue stood in the dressing room, with clothes scattered all over the floor in front of her.

There were several items piled on the sofa, two on the floor, and one draped over a chair.

Looking around, it looked like it had been looted.

"What are you doing?" Lu Yang asked.

Li Xixue did not turn around.

"Choosing clothes."

Lu Yang leaned against the door frame of the walk-in closet, looking at the clothes scattered all over the floor.

Li Xixue held up a beige shirt in her hand, then put it down after comparing it to herself.

"...This is too expensive."

Lu Yang glanced at the still-unopened tag.

Good guy.

Six digits.

Li Xixue ignored him and pulled another garment from the hanger.

I looked at it for three seconds, then put it back.

Lu Yang had been standing there for almost ten minutes.

She changed at least fifteen outfits.

None of them were satisfactory.

"How about... you wear what you're wearing today?" Lu Yang suggested tentatively.

Li Xixue looked down at her black turtleneck sweater: "This one costs 32,000."

"..."

Lu Yang immediately shut up.

This is perhaps the world of the wealthy.

Li Xixue flipped through the pages again, faster and faster, her expression growing increasingly annoyed.

Finally, she stopped.

It's not that I've made a choice, it's that I've given up.

She braced herself against the edge of the wardrobe with both hands and leaned forward slightly.

The cheapest item in her wardrobe is worth five figures.

Lu Yang glanced at the dressing room.

To be honest, any one of these items could be worth several months' salary for an average person.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about I buy one for you?"

Li Xixue turned her head to look at him.

"You'll buy it?"

"What's wrong? Is it not allowed?"

Li Xixue's lips moved slightly, but she didn't speak.

She looked at the clothes scattered on the floor, then at Lu Yang.

Do you even have an aesthetic sense?

Lu Yang didn't respond to that.

He took out his phone, opened a shopping app, and searched for women's clothing.

After flipping through a few pages, he turned the screen to show Li Xixue.

"How about this one?"

The image on the screen is a knitted top, a very simple style with a small design detail at the neckline.

Price: 198.

It mainly looks simple.

Li Xixue looked at the prices on the screen.

One hundred and ninety-eight.

To be honest, she had never worn clothes in this price range before.

"Isn't this... a bit too casual?"

"That's what people in my hometown wear."

Lu Yang said directly, "After all, we are just ordinary families."

"You? Are you ordinary?"

"Isn't it unusual?"

"..."

However, upon closer reflection, Lu Yang was indeed quite ordinary before, but now he's become somewhat extraordinary.

After all, he was a man who had awakened a system.

Where the hell is my system?!

Lu Yang took a breath.

Forget it, now is not the time to think about this.

Li Xixue stared at the knitted top for several seconds.

She never imagined that one day she would seriously consider buying a dress that cost 198 yuan.

"Then... you can place your order."

She spoke very softly when she said this.

Lu Yang selected the size, placed the order, and it will arrive first thing tomorrow morning.

Li Xixue stood amidst a pile of clothes, somewhat unsure of what to do.

She bent down and began to pick up the clothes on the floor.

Lu Yang also joined in picking them up.

The two of them squatted on the ground, hanging the clothes on the hanger one by one.

When she was halfway through hanging it, Li Xixue suddenly stopped.

"Tomorrow... if your grandma asks me what I do for a living, what should I say?"

Lu Yang paused for a moment as he hung up the clothes.

He's been thinking about this problem too.

If Li Xixue were to directly say that she is the president of Xueyu Group, the scene would probably be very awkward.

It's not that there's anything wrong with his family, but the disparity is there, which makes people uncomfortable.

Especially his mother.

Zhou Huifang is a very down-to-earth person, but the more down-to-earth a person is, the more they care about these things.

What would her expression be if she found out her daughter-in-law was a CEO with a net worth of billions?

Let's talk about it tomorrow.

Lu Yang thought for a moment and then said this.

Now we have no choice but to take it one step at a time.

After tidying up their clothes, the two of them came out of the dressing room.

So much happened today.

In the morning, I took a pregnancy test; at noon, Li Xiaochen messed up; in the afternoon, the whole family rushed to the company; and in the evening, I still had to worry about going back to my hometown tomorrow.

My brain is almost overwhelmed after a whole day.

Lu Yang turned his head and glanced at Li Xixue sitting on the sofa.

She was holding a water glass, her hair was down, and her bangs covered half of her eyes.

She didn't tie her hair up, which was quite different from how she looked at the company during the day.

The black slip dress had a silk hem that reached mid-thigh. The fabric was thin and clung to the contours of her body. The left strap had slipped off her shoulder and was hanging on her arm, revealing a section of her collarbone and shoulder.

Her skin is very fair.

Li Xixue took a sip of water and sat down at the other end of the sofa.

She felt her gaze.

"What are you looking at?"

I want to kiss you.

"Go to hell!"

Li Xixue's face flushed, and she quickly turned her head away.

Lu Yang's gaze shifted slightly downwards, landing on her feet.

The toes were tucked into the sofa cushions, and the nails were clean and white, without any paint.

"Does your foot still hurt?"

"What?"

"Didn't you twist your ankle last night?"

Li Xixue moved her ankle slightly and then pulled it back.

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Lu Yang didn't say anything, but simply reached out and pulled her foot over.

Li Xixue swayed to the side and almost slipped off the sofa.

"What are you doing!"

Lu Yang placed her feet on his lap.

Li Xixue's body trembled.

How can this guy be such a scoundrel!

"pain?"

"...Be gentle."

Lu Yang loosened his grip and slowly pressed his hand down along the thigh; it was very smooth and delicate.

Li Xixue leaned against the sofa armrest, her hair hanging down, covering most of her face.

Lu Yang gently rubbed it twice.

Li Xixue's toes curled slightly.

"No...don't press there."

"Are you ticklish?"

"no."

Lu Yang deliberately pressed it again.

Li Xixue pursed her lips slightly and pulled her legs back a little, but didn't pull them back.

She was clutching the corner of the sofa cushion, her head turned to one side.

From this angle, Lu Yang could see the skin on the side of her neck.

She was very fair-skinned, and a section of her collarbone was visible.

The neckline of the tank top is a bit too big; it slips down a little.

Lu Yang stopped.

Li Xixue noticed that he had stopped pressing, so she turned her face slightly to the side.

The two people weren't actually that far apart.

About the size of a cushion.

But because her feet were still on Lu Yang's lap, her body was tilted, making it look like she was half-lying next to him.

Lu Yang looked at her.

The moment Li Xixue's eyes met his, she looked away again.

Her voice was a little weak: "What are you looking at?"
