Xiang Xiaoyuan chose a romantic comedy.

The movie started. Xiang Xiaoyuan sat beside Lu Wanggui to feel a sense of security. Lu Wanggui had wanted to be close to her, so he took the opportunity to place his hand over her shoulder, pulling her into his arms.

Lu Wanggui’s presence gave Xiang Xiaoyuan a great sense of security, as well as a sense of reality.

It was a light movie. Xiang Xiaoyuan slowly leaned against Lu Wanggui and fell into a light sleep. The sound of her even breathing could be heard. Lu Wanggui reached out for the remote control and turned the volume down. In the dimly lit room, Lu Wanggui’s thoughts were no longer about that ridiculous romantic movie. In his arms was her, and in his ears was her warm breathing.

On the screen, the male lead was lowering his head to secretly kiss the sleeping female lead. Lu Wanggui also wanted to do that, but he looked at her and knew that she trusted him. So he suppressed the urge.

Lu Wanggui thought that Xiang Xiaoyuan had trusted men too easily. She probably did not know her effect on men, especially on him.

He never crossed the invisible line on the bed. At first, he was calm and controlled, demure and courteous. Most importantly, he didn’t feel anything for her, so he could remain a gentleman.

Later on, he cared about her, but he did not want to betray her trust and naivety.

The next morning, when Xiang Xiaoyuan woke up, there was no one by her side. However, she found a watch on the sofa. It was the one that Lu Wanggui often wore. So Lu Wanggui slept here with her for the night?

In the blink of an eye, it was Valentine’s Day. Lu Wanggui and Gao Yuan had finished their business trip and were returning. On the plane, Lu Wanggui suddenly thought of a little girl who was talking about Valentine’s Day plans when he checked in. He looked at Gao Yuan and asked casually, “You and your wife have been married for many years, right?”

Gao Yuan didn’t expect CEO Lu to chat with him, so he quickly perked up. “Yes, it’s been almost ten years.”

“Isn’t today a special occasion? Is your wife upset at you for working overtime?”

“Yes, today is Valentine’s Day. My wife understands my work, and she is also quite busy herself.”

Lu Wanggui paused. “Then what gifts do you usually buy her?”

Gao Yuan’s tone was a little humble. “… My money is in my wife’s hands.”

She controlled all of his wealth. His pockets were cleaner than his face, so how could he have the money to buy a gift?

“Last year, I saved up some money to buy her a bag when I went on a business trip. Then, she scolded me and said that I shouldn’t buy things that cost more than 10,000 yuan without telling her,” Gao Yuan said.

“That proves that your relationship is very deep,” Lu Wanggui said with a faint smile.

Gao Yuan had been by Lu Wanggui’s side for many years, so he understood what he meant. He asked tentatively, “CEO Lu, do you celebrate Valentine’s Day with your wife?”

Lu Wanggui nodded. “Yes.”

Otherwise, why did he have to come back today?

Gao Yuan understood. “What gift did you prepare for your wife?”

“Nothing yet.”

Lu Wanggui looked at Gao Yuan. “Do you have any good suggestions?”

Gao Yuan, “I have too many suggestions!”!

“Like a yacht?”

Lu Wanggui shook his head. “I think she will scold me.”

After all, they had been together for some time, so he knew her well. She didn’t look like she would like a yacht. If he really wanted to give her such a gift, he might as well just give it to her in cash.

However, it wasn’t appropriate to transfer money or give her a red envelope during such an occasion. Gao Yuan couldn’t help butfelt happy that he and CEO Lu shared the same worries.

He thought for a moment and said, “CEO Lu, if you trust me, why don’t you let me arrange it?”

There was not much time. Today was Valentine’s Day. If he bought jewelry. It would feel superficial and non-genuine. He had another idea in his mind.

Lu Wanggui was a little hesitant because he suddenly thought of the flower baskets that Gao Yuan had arranged for him last time. But on second thought, perhaps the things that Gao Yuan had arranged would also bring unexpected result.

So he nodded. “Okay, then I’ll have to trouble you.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan came to the convenience store. On Valentine’s Day, the convenience store’s business was still good. The limited-edition new products that were launched were also very popular. In the afternoon, Xiang Xiaoyuan remembered that Lu Wanggui had sent her a message saying that he would be back this afternoon.. Although he might not know that today was Valentine’s Day, and might not celebrate Valentine’s Day with her, she could not be completely unprepared.
