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

"Boss, in my opinion, there are some things to consider when buying a ring."

Xia Ning, speaking with the air of someone who's been there, said, "First of all, it can't be too casual, or it'll seem insincere. Secondly, the style has to be simple and elegant; the proprietress isn't the type to like anything flashy."

"Wait a minute."

Seeing how logically she analyzed things, Lu Yang couldn't help but ask, "Do you have experience?"

"What experience?"

"you have boyfriend?"

Lu Yang stared intently at the other person.

This girl has been teaching me from the moment I left until now.

Anyone who didn't know better would think she was a seasoned veteran.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ning's expression froze instantly.

At that moment, she was completely petrified.

Believe it or not, she's been single her whole life.

That's a bit harsh... Dude.

"Boss, actually... experience doesn't necessarily have to be experienced firsthand; you can figure it out yourself."

Xia Ning thought for a moment and then said this.

have to.

To put it bluntly, she's still single.

Lu Yang did not expose her.

"...Boss, let's get down to business."

Xia Ning coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness.

Although she had never eaten pork, she must have seen pigs run, right?

Besides, aren't all teen idol dramas on TV like this?

"Boss, I know a jewelry store nearby with a great reputation."

Lin Xiaoya added, "Yes, it's right over on the commercial street. I see it often when I pass by on my way to work."

Lu Yang glanced at the time; it was getting late.

Xia Ning immediately pushed him towards the door: "Hurry up, hurry up, we'll be in the shop."

Lu Yang had just reached the door when Xia Ning caught up with him again.

"Boss, after you buy the ring, go pick up your wife directly. Don't come back."

"In the shop..."

"No one will die in the shop, so don't worry."

Xia Ning pushed him away, "Qixi Festival only comes once a year. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year."

Lu Yang was pushed out of the store.

Xia Ning's voice came from behind: "Go for it, boss!"

Not only her, but the store's staff also cheered, "Go for it, Ouli!"

Lu Yang sighed and turned to walk towards the commercial street.

To be honest, he wasn't very confident about it either.

It wasn't that he was unsure about buying the ring, but rather that he wasn't sure how Li Xixue would react.

This woman's personality can be described as either reserved or, to put it bluntly, dull.

Even if she doesn't say anything when you give her something, no outsider can guess what she's really thinking.

What's more, it was a ring that they gave him.

……

office.

Li Xixue let out a heavy sigh.

She carefully put away the scarf she had just knitted, and now she had to think about how to give it to her.

She folded the scarf and put it in a paper bag.

She looked at it, then opened the paper bag again, took out the scarf, and folded it again.

Then it was stuffed back in.

After stuffing it in, she stared at the paper bag for a moment, feeling that something was missing.

What's missing?

Li Xixue thought for a moment, then opened the drawer and rummaged through it.

I found a sticky note.

She picked up the pen, the nib hovering over the paper.

What should I write?

Happy Qixi Festival?

It's so embarrassing.

Is this for you?

nonsense.

Did I knit this?

He's not blind.

Give it back to your mother.

It sounds like someone is swearing.

Li Xixue rested her chin on her hand and sat there in a daze for a few minutes.

Finally, she wrote two words on the sticky note.

Don't mind.

After she finished writing, she looked at it again.

Okay, that's settled.

She stuffed the note into the paper bag, resealed it, and put it in the innermost part of her bag.

at this time.

The office door was pushed open again.

Chen Yan poked her head in.

"What is it?"

Chen Yan walked in, carrying a large bag.

Li Xixue glanced at the bag and frowned: "What's this?"

Chen Yan placed the bag on the sofa and unzipped it.

There was a set of clothes inside.

To be precise, it's a dress.

It's a light champagne color with a slightly shimmering fabric. The length is around the knee, the neckline is neither too high nor too low, and it's very fitted at the waist.

The key point is that it's like something a young girl would wear.

Li Xixue looked at the dress, then at Chen Yan.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Yan crossed her arms in front of her and smiled, "President Li, you're not really planning to wear that, are you?"

Li Xixue frowned. She had come straight to the company after leaving home in the morning without changing her clothes.

"I have spare clothes in my office," Li Xixue said.

"President Li, today is not a board meeting."

Chen Yan's tone carried an added layer of meaning as she put her hands on her hips: "Excuse my bluntness, but all those clothes of yours are for meetings."

Li Xixue didn't speak.

Chen Yan took a step forward: "I bought this during my lunch break. I bought the size you usually wear, so it should fit."

"Who told you to buy it?"

"Myself."

Chen Yan said matter-of-factly, "Consider it my Qixi Festival gift to you."

"Besides, by helping others find love on Qixi Festival, I can also find a partner sooner. Of course, I'm not doing this for my own sake, but for Mr. Li's future happiness!"

"..."

Li Xixue said irritably, "Please, I'm not going on a date."

Besides, I've gone on quite a few dates with him already.

There's no need for that.

Chen Yan ignored her, took the dress out of the bag intact, hung it on the hanger, and said with a giggle, "Why don't you try it on? If it doesn't look good, you don't have to wear it."

Li Xixue frowned: "Are you bored?"

"I'm not free, I'm very busy."

Chen Yan pushed her forward, saying, "But President Li's happiness is more important than anything else."

A moment later.

Li Xixue stood at the door.

The light champagne-colored dress clung to her body, with the neckline positioned just below her collarbone. The cinched waist accentuated her figure, and the hemline fell slightly above her knees, revealing her calves.

She usually wears either business attire or loose casual clothes.

Chen Yan stared at her, stunned for several seconds.

To be honest, let alone a man, even she, a woman, couldn't handle it.

"What's wrong?" Li Xixue frowned.

Chen Yan wiped her mouth: "President Li... are you sure you're twenty-eight?"

"I think you look no more than eighteen in that!"

Li Xixue looked down at herself.

The dress definitely made her look much younger than she usually wears, and it completely changed her overall aura.

It lacked the usual sense of distance, and had a bit more... how to put it.

It's like that youthful feeling where you get approached by people on the street.

"Isn't it... too inexperienced?"

Li Xixue sensed something was amiss and commented.

"You're so cute!"

Chen Yan chuckled, then stepped forward and straightened her collar. "You're usually too serious. I think a change of style would be great. It suits you very well and makes you look younger."

Li Xixue stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at herself from left to right.

To be honest, she herself was a little surprised.

The color of this dress complements her skin tone, and given her naturally good complexion, she definitely looks much younger after changing into this outfit.

But the problem is...

Will I seem too deliberate to wear this to see him today?
