The living room was unusually quiet. Cheng Liu sat on the sofa, not daring to move. Ji Chaozhou had his head buried on the crook of her neck, probably asleep.

She stared into the distance numbly, thinking about what almost happened just now.

He definitely didn’t do it on purpose, he was just drunk and wanted to sleep. It couldn’t be revenge, it must be an accident.

Young President Cheng always defended her sweetheart in her heart.

She was feeling a little uncomfortable with such a close distance between them.

Cheng Liu tilted her head to look at the person leaning on her shoulder. His breath was warm, and half of his face was vaguely revealed. His brows were calm, and his cheeks were lightly flushed, with a faint breathtaking charm that would attract anyone.

At this moment looking very intimate.

Young President Cheng was really bold—she was thinking that once they get married, they could kiss each other as much as they pleased!

She still remembered the time back when he had a fever. He was sleeping in the hotel with a thick and gloomy aura surrounding him. That was completely different from how he was now.

It was fine as it was now.

Ji Chaozhou, who had his head buried in her shoulder, moved and rubbed against her neck unconsciously, revealing most of his face.

Seeing this, Cheng Liu raised her hand and placed it on Ji Chaozhou’s back, patting him gently as if she was coaxing a child.

Ji Chaozhou who had deliberately shown his face: “…”

After waiting for a long time, Cheng Liu didn’t make any unnecessary movements and just kept patting his back.

Ji Chaozhou drank half a bottle of wine over lunch and was already tipsy, then she coaxed him and patted his back, so he ended up actually falling asleep.

Someone never even knew what she missed.

…

When Ji Chaozhou came to himself again, it was already dark outside. He was lying on the sofa, covered with a thin blanket.

“Are you awake?” Cheng Liu’s voice came from the side.

Ji Chaozhou propped himself up and sat up, then he saw Cheng Liu sitting on the single sofa. She was holding a cell phone with a few documents piled in front of her.

Cheng Liu stood up, poured a cup of warm water and handed it to him, “Your phone rang a few times earlier.”

“Thank you.” Ji Chaozhou took the water, drank it slowly, and then picked up the mobile phone on the coffee table.

It was Tang Fanglu who sent the message, telling him that there would be a perfume exhibition tomorrow and asked him if he wanted to go.

Before, Ji Chaozhou never participated in such activities for Ranshan and only let Tang Fanglu and other people in the company do it.

This perfume exhibition has been scheduled since early March. The most outstanding perfumers in the industry would most certainly come, so it could be considered a grand event.

The exhibitors were basically the top perfume brands from abroad. In order to expand their influence in China, they chose City S as the venue for the exhibition.

Only two domestic perfume brands were invited: Ranshan was one of them.

Midu had brought Ranshan into the public eye, and within just a few years it became a bestseller abroad, so it was no surprise that they received a special invitation.

Tang Fanglu sent a message to ask, but she didn’t actually hold out any hope because Ji Chaozhou would never get involved in these kinds of activities.

She just felt that this was a great opportunity for networking. With so many top perfumers here, it was a pity that Ji Chaozhou wouldn’t come.

At that time, Tang Fanglu also had some careful thoughts.

Among the top brand perfumers, who was the youngest? Who was the best looking?

Ji Chaozhou would simply crush everyone else in all aspects, and then it would not just be Ranshan who would steal the show.

Cheng Liu picked up the documents and stood up. “I’ll go home first.” She didn’t bring the laptop over for fear of waking him up.

Ji Chaozhou looked at her quietly.

“Tomorrow…” Cheng Liu coughed and quickly said, “Are you free tomorrow? Let’s go out and play.”

She spoke fast, in a soft voice, so most people wouldn’t be able to understand her.

“I have to attend a perfume exhibition tomorrow,” Ji Chaozhou said slowly.

“Oh,” Cheng Liu replied quietly. She glanced at the single sofa quietly, thinking of finding an excuse to sit back down. Anyway, she now had time to do other things tomorrow, so she was not in a hurry to finish her work now.

Ji Chaozhou suddenly asked her, “Do you want to go with me?”

Cheng Liu didn’t react for a moment, then said happily, “Okay.”

This was the first date with her sweetheart!!!

Although she was excited, Young President Cheng has not forgotten that she still had a lot of work to do. Because the technology was now open sourced, many companies have approached her and she needed to deal with many things as a result.

“I’ll go back to work first. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Cheng Liu walked out holding the documents.

Ji Chaozhou watched her leave. After a while, he picked up his phone again and replied to Tang Fanglu’s message: [I’ll be there tomorrow.]

Cheng Liu, who was working on the second floor next door, wanted to finish all her work, just like any student who wanted to finish all their homework before the holiday so they could go out to have fun.

The exhibition was not just about exhibiting perfumes; it was also a social event. The organizer invited many celebrities and everyone had to walk on the red carpet.

Ji Chaozhou didn’t lack clothes, but Cheng Liu did.

The next morning, Ji Chaozhou went next door.

Cheng Liu had just gotten up and came out of her room with messy hair.

Halfway through her walk, she thought of her date today and suddenly became excited and full of energy. She crossed her legs, sat on the handrail of the stairs, and slid down.

As soon as her feet landed on the ground, she looked up and caught Ji Chaozhou’s gaze.

Cheng Liu: “!”

“I was wrong!” She quickly raised her hands and apologized reflexively.

Ji Chaozhou glanced at Cheng Liu calmly, his eyes passing over her messy hair, “I’m going to buy you some clothes this morning.”

“Okay,” Cheng Liu nodded repeatedly, thinking that she must not slide down the bannister again next time.

She never thought about her sleep-messed hair from beginning to end.

… …

If you need to pick out evening dresses at the last minute, one could only buy ready-made clothing. Fortunately, Cheng Liu was tall and had long legs, so she would look good in anything.

In the afternoon, the two changed into formal outfits, and people from Ranshan drove over to pick them up.

When they were almost at the exhibition, inside the car, Ji Chaozhou opened a black velvet gift box. Inside was a thin ring made of silver in the shape of a snake. It had emeralds inlaid at the head and the tail.

“Put your hand out,” Ji Chaozhou turned sideways.

Cheng Liu extended her hand as she was told.

Ji Chaozhou lowered his eyes and held Cheng Liu’s right hand. With his other hand, he held the snake ring and pushed it up slowly and carefully, finally putting it on her index finger.

“Like exchanging rings at a wedding,” Cheng Liu thought to herself and accidentally muttered it out loud.

Ji Chaozhou paused and looked up at Cheng Liu, “What?”

Cheng Liu said vaguely, “I said this ring is very pretty.”
