Chapter 9

When we got to the restaurant, we chose a window seat and sat down. The neon outside the window shines on Du Qiuyi's absent-minded face.

Lin haoxuan looked at Du Qiuyi;

"What's the matter? I'm in a bad mood?"

"No" Du Qiuyi reluctantly smiled. At this time, the waiter took the menu. Lin haoxuan ordered several dishes that Du Qiuyi likes to eat.

Du Qiuyi ordered a bottle of wine, while Lin haoxuan told the waiter not to drink because Du Qiuyi's foot injury was not suitable for drinking.

Du Qiuyi shrugged helplessly.

The food in this restaurant tastes really good. The delicious food seems to make Du Qiuyi forget her unhappiness in the daytime. Lin haoxuan also tells Du Qiuyi jokes from time to time at the dinner table. A dinner ended happily.

Lin haoxuan said to Du Qiuyi on the way home;

"Qiuyi, I have a reception to attend this weekend. Can you be my partner?"

Du Qiuyi was stunned. Yes, Lin's group is also a famous aristocrat in this city. Lin will be invited to the anniversary reception of Group D.

Lin haoxuan looked at Du Qiuyi in a trance and said politely;

"What's the matter? It's difficult?"

Du Qiuyi told about Si Zeyu's invitation to her as a dance partner at the reception and refused Lin haoxuan.

Since he met Si Zeyu at the gate of group D that day, Lin haoxuan felt that the relationship between him and Du Qiuyi was not simple, so he asked someone to check Si Zeyu.

Of course, it also found out what happened three years ago.

Lin haoxuan smiled and said something;

"It doesn't matter. I'll tell you earlier next time."

Although she doesn't like Lin haoxuan, she is also a friend after all. She doesn't want to make misunderstandings between her friends because of these small things. Seeing Lin haoxuan's elegant demeanor, Du Qiuyi feels that Si Zeyu is dirty.

In the twinkling of an eye, on Friday night, Du Qiuyi returned home and called Liu Lin, asking for some things about Du Zhuangzhuang. At the moment, Liu Lin just received Zhuangzhuang from the kindergarten, so she called Zhuangzhuang.

"Mom, Aunt Liu said you were on a business trip recently. When will you come back?"

Hearing her son's childish voice on the phone, Du Qiuyi couldn't help crying. Although the work is busy, they always finish the work before the weekend, and never delay the weekend to accompany their son.

If it weren't for the appearance of Si Zeyu, she wouldn't have to endure the pain of separation.

"Strong and good, my mother will be back soon. Maybe my mother can pick you up from school next week?" comforted my son on the phone.

"Mom, you work at ease. Don't worry about me. I'll listen to Aunt Liu." Du Qiuyi's greatest happiness is to have such a sensible and lovely son.

Liu Lin comforted Du Qiuyi on the phone and told her child that she would take good care of her.

Du Qiuyi thanked Liu Lin and hung up.

Du Qiuyi is looking forward to the successful conclusion of the dance and quickly ends the case of Group D.

The thought of the ball also gave Du Qiuyi a headache. In recent years, she seldom went out to attend any social parties except work and home. She didn't even have a decent skirt.

Roommate Xia Xia came back these days. She might as well borrow a dress from Xia Xia. Anyway, she didn't regard the reception as an important thing. She wouldn't bother to attend any reception unless Si Zeyu threatened the planning case.

Xia Xia was kind-hearted and turned over all the skirts in her wardrobe. Du Qiuyi casually chose a lavender skirt, that's it.

Then the doorbell rang.

I saw a man in a suit with a beautiful gift box in his hand;

"Hello, is that Ms. Du Qiuyi?"

Du Qiuyi nodded.

"The president asked me to give it to you in person." then he put the box in Du Qiuyi's hand, turned and left.

Du Qiuyi looked at the box and just wanted to ask something, she saw the man's back disappear in the corridor. What a sharp man.

Xia Xia looked at the box in surprise. Just looking at the value of the box, she couldn't wait to see what was inside.

Du Qiuyi also stood in place with the box, and Xia Xia grabbed the box;

"Qiuyi, let me open it for you."

When the box was opened, Xia Xia and Du Qiuyi were dumbfounded. It was a lavender evening dress with silver white patterns on the waist and hollow skirt design. It looks valuable.

Xia Xia always felt that this evening dress looked familiar. She hurried back to her room and took out a newly published fashion magazine. Looking at the evening dress and the magazine, Xia Xia's eyes will come out.

Du Qiuyi looked at Xia Xia in surprise;

"What's the matter?"

Xia Xia read the magazine to Du Qiuyi. This evening dress is a famous French fashion designer a

I's latest masterpiece. There are only five limited editions in the world. The price reached six figures surprisingly.

Where is this dress? It's a beautiful work of art.

At this time, a short message came from Du Qiuyi's mobile phone.

"Have you received the dress? You must wear it. I don't want my partner's dress to embarrass me."

Looking at the short message sent by Si Zeyu, Du Qiuyi threw her evening dress on the ground.

Xia Xia hurried to pick it up;

"My aunt, this dress is enough for us to eat for half our life."

This mood is really terrible. I'm ashamed of myself. I can change my partner. I don't want to be his partner.

At this time, Du Qiuyi's phone rang. Du Qiuyi thought it was the self righteous Si Zeyu. She hung up without looking.

The phone rang again. Du Qiuyi just wanted to turn off the phone, but she saw that Lin haoxuan's number was displayed.

After answering the phone, Lin haoxuan said he was downstairs and had something to tell her.

Downstairs, he saw Lin haoxuan leaning against the car.

"Sorry to bother you so late," said Lin haoxuan.

"It doesn't matter. What can I do for you?"

With that, Lin haoxuan opened the door and took out a box;

"Here you are."

Du Qiuyi looks at Lin haoxuan;

"Thank you for your gift, but I can't accept it."

"You turned me down without even looking at it, Qiu Yi. It's just an ordinary evening dress. It's not expensive, but I think it's especially in line with your temperament." Lin haoxuan deliberately emphasized that it's ordinary and not expensive.

Du Qiuyi was moved when she heard that it was an evening dress.

Lin haoxuan has been in contact with Du Qiuyi for so long. Naturally, she knows that Du Qiuyi will not have the right clothes for such a grand dance tomorrow night, so she chose this one for her in person.

I don't know what kind of psychology, Du Qiuyi actually accepted this gift.

After seeing Lin haoxuan off, Du Qiuyi went upstairs, folded the evening dress sent by Si Zeyu in a box and put it in the cabinet.
