Shen Qianshu put her phone down. Li Zhiyuan looked at her softly. The corner of his lips always curled upwards, and he was a gentleman. He looked warm and nice, like a duke from the previous century.
“This is a great place. It’s the first time I’m here. Thanks, CEO Li, for letting me widen my horizons about the world.”
“What’s there to thank me for? If you like, we can come here anytime,” Li Zhiyuan said smilingly. “The environment here is great, so it’s best for couples to go on a date at.”
Shen Qianshu could not deny the fact. This was indeed the greatest place for couples to go on dates.
“Qianshu, I invested in GK Jewelry,” Li Zhiyuan said. “GK has developed very well in the past two years. It is about to surpass the old brand Dream Star. I’m very confident in them.”
“Since when were you so interested in the jewelry industry?”
“Because of you,” Li Zhiyuan said. “My love for you extends even to the crows on the roof of your house.”
“That’s not very sensible. Business investments and personal preferences should be well differentiated. Otherwise, it is highly likely that one would end up losing money. Earning money from the jewelry industry involves great risks.”
“Qianshu, you are so different. After hearing what I said, the normal reaction is to be moved to tears by me.”
“I’m from a village, so I don’t understand these things.”
Li Zhiyuan smiled and raised his glass. The two clinked glasses. He loved the feeling around Shen Qianshu. She was humorous and optimistic. No one could see the flaws and darkness in her. It was as if she had never gone through dark times and pain, as if she was carefree.
It really was rare to find interesting souls like hers.
Li Zhiyuan said, “Baby Qianshu, there are rumors all over the internet that we are a couple. Should we turn the rumor into a fact? I’m looking forward to it.”
Shen Qianshu felt awkward. What happened to wooing?
“CEO Li, I’m not a person you can get so easily. I’m sorry to disappoint you.”
“But you have had so many exes.”
“I was young and stupid, so I had many boyfriends. After every boy, my taste increases sharply. We still aren’t close, so let’s just be friends. Lovers? Forget it.”
Li Zhiyuan looked hurt and sad. Shen Qianshu did not give a damn about it.
Tsk tsk tsk. Acting, everyone knows how .
“Qianshu, do you believe in love at first sight?”
Shen Qianshu was startled. Time rewound, and it was as if she had returned to seven years ago. That day, she walked into the cramped room. The entire house was grayish white, and someone’s back faced her. The sunlight was pleasant. The moment he turned around, the sunshine shone on him. He was alluring, and she felt as if she could see Cupid and her angels.
Hey girl, you’re in love with him.
“Every ‘love at first sight’ occurs either because someone has not seen enough of the world or the other party is simply too attractive.” These two conditions fitted her younger self. She had not seen enough of the world, and Ye Ling was simply too attractive.
Li Zhiyuan looked sad. “Qianshu, you’re going to say that I’m superficial again.”
He paused. “But as a superficial person like me, if I can’t even appreciate beauty, how can I appreciate inner beauty? Other than your appearance, I love your optimistic personality, your pure smiles, your independent, and tough self.”
Shen Qianshu smiled and did not offer a reply.
As a woman being complimented by a man, it was normal to feel good.
“Oh yeah, for the jewelry competition this time, I’m, fortunately, a judge.”
“You?” Shen Qianshu stared at him, confused, not believing him. “You can’t even differentiate topaz from sapphire or crystal from glass. What judge are you going to be? Wouldn’t you make a fool out of yourself?”
Li Zhiyuan was speechless.
