Chapter 139: I Bought It For You

The next morning, when Xiang Xiaoyuan woke up, Lu Wanggui had already gone to the office. The price of leaving work early yesterday was that he had to go to work earlier today.

Xiang Xiaoyuan was woken up by Paddy’s phone call. She needed to go to the office today because there was an important video conference and she needed to be there as a translator.

After washing up briskly, Xiang Xiaoyuan changed into a simple and elegant dress and went downstairs. She happened to bump into Lu Bei who was about to leave, Xiang Xiaoyuan stopped him. “Lu Bei, I’m going to the office today too. If you’re not in a hurry, I’ll drive you there if you could wait.”

Lu Bei nodded without thinking. “Okay.”

The two of them were on good terms now. When Xiang Xiaoyuan was sitting and eating breakfast, Lu Bei would even rush her, “Eat a little faster.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan sipped on her bird’s nest porridge. “Haven’t you noticed that there’s a big difference between the current me and the previous me?”

“What’s the difference?”

“My face is rosier now.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan stretched out her hand, revealing her exquisite manicure. With a regretful expression, she said, “It’s a pity that you can’t see it. The white part at the base of my nails became bigger.”

Lu Bei was speechless. “That’s just superstition. There’s no scientific reason for it.”

“Is that so?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan picked up a wet towel and wiped the corner of her mouth. “I don’t care. I feel much better anyway.”

Under Lu Bei’s gaze and urging, Xiang Xiaoyuan picked up the car keys and left unhurriedly. Since she was going to work at the company, Xiang Xiaoyuan did not really want to drive a Bentley. It was too high-profile.

She chose the low-profile but still luxurious Volkswagen. As she got into the car, she felt the cold air from the air-conditioning. Lu Bei finally felt like the young master of the Lu family again after a long time. Recently, he either had to run to the subway station or carpooled. He finally did not have to squeeze into the subway today. That was great!

Lu Bei looked at his surroundings and said, “It would be great if you went to work every day.”

Taking advantage of the traffic lights, he glared at Xiao Yuan. “Are you cursing me?”

Only when she failed in her business would she become a working person and go to work every day!

That would be too painful. Not only did office workers have to get up early and stay late, the most important thing was that they could not earn much money!

Lu Bei: “…”

It was only about half an hour from the villa to the company. Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at the GPS and stopped the car about 500 meters away from the company. She then asked Lu bei to get off, “You understand, right?”

Of course, Lu Bei understood.

He sensibly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car. She looked at the glaring sun outside and thought for a moment before calling out to him, “Wait a moment.”

Lu Bei turned around and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”

Xiang Xiaoyuan turned around and picked up the bag that was placed in the back seat. She rummaged through it and took out a pair of ice sleeves and handed it to him. “This is for you.”

Lu Bei looked at the black ice sleeves and had a puzzled look on his face. “What’s this?”

“Ice sleeves. It could block the sun.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan said, “You should pay more attention to these things. You will feel much cooler wearing this, and you won’t get tanned from the sun.”

A few days ago, she had bought two pairs of ice sleeves to reach the minimum amount on an online shopping website. The second pair was half-price. She would be stupid not to buy them. One pair was hers, which was in light pink, and the other pair was for Lu Bei. It was black.

She wanted to buy it for Lu Wanggui, but would Lu Wanggui be able to use it? He wore formal clothes every day in the summer, and there was air-conditioning everywhere he went, so he couldn’t use it at all, so she gave it to Lu Bei.

Lu Bei’s expression was undecipherable, but he still put on the ice sleeves awkwardly under Xiang Xiaoyuan’s urging.

Xiang Xiaoyuan complimented him, “My taste is really good. This color suits you very well. How is it? Isn’t it a lot cooler?”

Lu Bei looked down. “Yes.”

“Alright, hurry up and go. You’ll be late if you dawdle.” Xiang Xiaoyuan urged him.

She closed the car door and stepped on the peddle. He stood there for a few seconds before running forward. He did not know if it was just in his head, but he suddenly felt that it was not hot at all today.

Xiang Xiaoyuan arrived at the company. She was a part-time worker and did not need to clock in. When she came to her desk, Paddy was sorting out the documents that he needed later. When he saw that she had arrived, he said, “Today is a special situation. There are higher-ups from the headquarters coming over for a meeting. The company is afraid that they are not fully prepared, so they asked you to come over. I hope you don’t mind.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan obviously did not mind. She was earning money. But how high up were these people? She had to ask.

Paddy smiled. He had good taste in clothes. The way he dressed would make people’s eyes light up.. This formed a strong contrast with the other male colleagues who only wore shirts and Polo T-shirts.
