Chapter 8 Candlelight Dinner
In the afternoon, Chu Haoxuan took Ye Lei to the mall in the name of work, which was a very high-end and luxurious place. It was said that he had to attend a local banquet when he was on a business trip. As a entourage, Ye Lei had to attend as Chu Haoxuan's female companion. Dresses were a necessity, of course Ye Lei did not, and Chu Haoxuan knew it, so he brought her to visit.
There was no need to choose a store, so I went to a brand store under the Chu Group. With the diligent help of the clerk, Ye Lei changed his dress one after another. Unfortunately, every time he came out, he met Chu Haoxuan's expressionless and silent face. Whether it was Ye Lei or the clerk who had long known the habits of this immediate boss, he could see that nothing could satisfy him. The ended up, Chu Haoxuan's face became darker and Ye Lei was exhausted, and only then did he realize that changing clothes was actually a tiring job. In the end, the manager had his own opinions and took out the new style that had not been available for time. Because there were only a few pieces, he was not in a hurry to put them on the shelves.
When he wore a pure white dress, Chu Haoxuan's face improved a little. He had tried other white dresses before, but they were not as satisfied with Chu Haoxuan. Not to mention how prominent it was, on the contrary, this dress was very simple and simplified. On the surface, it looked completely unremarkable, but as long as you look at it a little carefully, you will find the difference: the breast-wrapped dress is all outlined with silk threads in the same color, and there are some bright diamonds and pearls on the hem of the skirt, which shines under the light.
I have to say that the service of high-end stores like this is very good. Each dress will be equipped with a different hairstyle and shoes to show the greatest features of the dress. This is also one of the reasons why Ye Lei feels tired. Therefore, the hairstyle paired with this dress is also relatively ordinary, just simply tying up the hair, fixing it, and then slightly modifying it with her temples. It is simple and generous. The shoes are a pair of high-heeled crystal sandals. Overall, Ye Lei is completely refreshed and illuminating. Although the previous ones also made her look different, Chu Haoxuan thinks that this white dress can best highlight Ye Lei's glory.
"What do the CEO think? This is the latest design of designer Ma Ke." The store manager introduced attentively, and she could already see the appreciation in Chu Haoxuan's eyes.
Chu Haoxuan nodded: "That's the way."
"OK."
After confirming, Ye Lei felt that she was finally relieved. In fact, she was not having a good time. Recently, because she had not had a good rest and was tortured like this, she felt that she was almost exhausted. However, when she recalled the look of appreciation flashing in Chu Haoxuan's eyes when she saw her wearing this dress, she felt that it was worth it and it would be okay to be tired at all.
Originally, I should have gone to see jewelry after buying a dress, but as soon as I thought of Ye Lei wearing a dress and a necklace, I subconsciously denied it from my mind. Chu Haoxuan felt that not only could not add a touch to Ye Lei, but it would only look vulgar. After thinking about it, Chu Haoxuan finally bought only a pair of pearl earrings. Ye Lei's face was originally small, and if he bought other types, his charm would probably be covered.
By the time he came out of the mall, it was almost dark. Because it was still early, Chu Haoxuan took Ye Lei to a Western restaurant for dinner.
The hazy candlelight, the gentle melody, and the night view outside the window, if it weren't for the impossible, Ye Lei would think that it was deliberately arranged by Chu Haoxuan. In fact, it was just an ordinary dinner for her. I wonder if she had such a romantic candlelight dinner with others before. Even if it was just an ordinary dinner, she felt satisfied that she could eat with Chu Haoxuan at such a close distance.
"What? It's not to your appetite?" Seeing that Ye Lei was cutting the lamb chop weakly, Chu Haoxuan frowned.
"Ah, no." Ye Lei quickly cheered up and forced herself to smile.
He could feel the barrenness in Ye Lei's smile, but Chu Haoxuan didn't say anything. He picked up the red wine and took it to his mouth for a sip, then turned his eyes outside the window.
When Ye Lei felt that he was almost full, he raised his head and found that Chu Haoxuan had already put down the tableware. Ye Lei felt a little guilty and looked at Chu Haoxuan's knife-like side, and his deep eyes were looking like ice. He was clearly looking out the window, but Ye Lei knew that he was not watching the night view. However, Chu Haoxuan's expression made her feel familiar.
"Are you full?" Just when Ye Lei was stunned, Chu Haoxuan turned his head and asked lightly.
"Uh, um." Ye Lei felt self-loathing for showing off her mind in front of Chu Haoxuan again. She didn't want to make Chu Haoxuan even more annoying, but she would react rudely every time. What Chu Haoxuan would think of her result is basically self-evident.
Chu Haoxuan intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the plate in front of Ye Lei's eyes, and found that he didn't use much, not even half of it. When he thought that Ye Lei didn't eat anything at noon, his eyes sank.
Fortunately, Ye Lei, who was embarrassed to lower her head, did not notice it, otherwise she would have thought that Chu Haoxuan hated her a little more.
In the end, Chu Haoxuan still said nothing and left after buying the order. Ye Lei followed behind with a little dejected look, constantly reflecting on why he always made mistakes in front of Chu Haoxuan. Do you want him to hate him more? Of course not. As a result, Ye Lei, who was hanging his head and fell into self-reflection, ran into a pair of lovers coming towards him. It should be said that he was hitting a man, and because neither of them looked at the way.
"I'm sorry." Ye Lei apologized immediately.
"Do you have your eyes on your head? Just say sorry?" The man shouted enthusiastically, holding a hot-shaped beauty in his arms. This roar attracted the eyes of the rest of the restaurant.
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention." Thinking that it was her fault first, Ye Lei had to apologize. She didn't know what to say except apologizing. She felt that the restaurant was looking at her, and she felt like her face was burning, which made her feel very embarrassed. It was not because she was yelled at by the other party, but because she felt inferior about her appearance in such a place and attracted attention. She really wanted to find a crack in the floor to get into it. Of course, there would be no such place like this with only high-end ceramic tiles.
"Can you close your eyes and hit others without paying attention?" It is obvious that this man is a rich man, or a ignorant person. At least this kind of place is not something that ordinary people can consume. The beauty in his arms can tell at a glance that she was kept, so there is no better explanation except this possibility. Moreover, it is not difficult to see from his famous brand but a bit slutty dress.
Ye Lei is not very outstanding in appearance, but becomes even more inconspicuous under the other party's aura. However, those who are interested will find that her thin body trembles slightly, which is adorable.
"What are you doing?"
At this time, a cold sound came in, not too big or too small, but it effectively diverted everyone's attention.
Chu Haoxuan walked towards Ye Lei and the others with a step. It was obviously very ordinary, but the person who was still clamoring before closed his mouth. I wonder if it was an illusion. He felt that the tall man who was walking towards them looked at him very coldly, making him feel as if he was on his back, and he suddenly shuddered and dared not move.
Chu Haoxuan glanced at the clamoring man lightly, then turned to the person who was looking at his slightly red eyes, walked over, hugged her shoulders, and whispered softly: "Why are you so slow? Not so?"
It was a whisper, but in the quiet space, it was clearly heard. The gentle voice and intimate manner not only made people beat faster, but they were proud of having such a boyfriend.
Ye Lei nodded. She admitted that she was very excited when she saw Chu Haoxuan. When the other party said these words, she was almost about to cry. It was not because Chu Haoxuan appeared to rescue her at the right time, but because she heard Chu Haoxuan's gentle voice for the first time, even if it was pretending, it was enough to make her feel relieved.
