Looking at the big red packet in front of him, Su Xiaoxiao opened his eyes wide in shock. Because she wasn't the real daughter-in-law of Lu Family, how would she have the face to go and receive the red packets that the two of them gave to their daughter-in-law? Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to turn his pleading gaze towards Lu Yuanchen.
However, Lu Yuanchen acted as if he did not see the look in his eyes, and looked to the side.
Su Xiaoxiao could only bite the bullet and accept it, thinking that he could just return it to the CEO in the future.
Holding the heavy red packet in his hand, Su Xiaoxiao revealed a bright smile as he expressed his thanks: "Thank you, Uncle Lu. My two aunts."
As he thought about Su Xiaoxiao's uneasy mood, it became much more natural for Lu Yuanchen to wake up. As if it was no big deal that he woke up late, he coolly greeted the two elders and then naturally sat by the side.
The old man was in a good mood today, so he did not mind Lu Yuanchen's attitude. He nodded his head expressionlessly, and continued to do what he needed to do.
Holding the red packet in his hand, Su Xiaoxiao felt extremely pressured. Just thinking about how he was not Lu Family's real daughter-in-law yet she took his red packet, Su Xiaoxiao felt extremely guilty.
When he thought about how his two aunts would be sad to find out the truth about him in the future, his heart would be drowned in guilt and sadness.
Su Xiaoxiao, who wholeheartedly wanted to make up for the loss of food, made a request for himself to take care of lunch. Everyone liked to eat things that Su Xiaoxiao cooked, so they naturally agreed happily.
In the afternoon, Lu Yuanchen and Su Xiaoxiao left the main house and returned to the villa.
In the car, only when Su Xiaoxiao touched his own pocket did he remember about the red packet incident that happened in the morning.
She was going to give it to the CEO anyway, so it wouldn't be wrong for her to take a look.
Under the urge of his curiosity, Su Xiaoxiao took out the red packet and opened it, wanting to know how much money was sealed inside.
Su Xiaoxiao pinched down a thin piece of paper, thinking that there wasn't much money inside, but when he opened it and saw Su Xiaoxiao's face, he realized that he was completely wrong.
This was because the red packet didn't contain cash at all, but rather a cheque. A hundred thousand dollars. Su Xiaoxiao counted the zeros on it and was so shocked that his mouth almost dropped a salted duck egg.
Isn't this too generous? Just a small red packet for the new year was already given to her for 100,000 yuan. She had thought that the old man didn't like her and giving her a red packet was out of politeness so she could feign 100 yuan's worth of meaning. He didn't expect that the rich would be so generous.
But once he thought about the fact that the money wasn't his, Su Xiaoxiao lost her excitement from before. This money was ultimately given to Lu Yuanchen. His red packet was for Lu Family's daughter-in-law, but she wasn't.
Although she loved money, she knew what money was, and what was not, so she could only endure the pain and give the cheque to Lu Yuanchen.
Lu Yuanchen looked at the cheque in front of him and lazily raised his head to look at Su Xiaoxiao, asking: "What are you doing?"
"Here you are." This is the red packet that Uncle Lu and Aunt gave to Lu Family's daughter-in-law. I cannot take it. " Su Xiaoxiao explained. It was a heartfelt pain.
Surprise flashed across Lu Yuanchen's eyes. He did not think that Su Xiaoxiao would actually reject it, it was clearly because he was giving her the money. Lu Yuanchen could not help but take another glance at Su Xiaoxiao. His cold expression softened. "It's yours then."
Hearing Lu Yuanchen's words, Su Xiaoxiao opened his eyes wide in surprise, and asked in disbelief: "You're really giving it to me?"
"Yes." Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was clearly unwilling to give it to him, but was about to give it to him, Lu Yuanchen could not help but laugh. However, he secretly thought to himself, "This little money grubber."
Su Xiaoxiao was grinning from ear to ear. His eyes were so happy that they curved into crescent moons. This was the so-called pie dropped from the sky.
Happy days were always very short, and soon it was time for work again.
The previous year had already been busy for a while. Having just completed the new year's work, it was not a big deal. Everyone was immersed in the joy of New Year, and the office was filled with happiness.
On this day, Su Xiaoxiao flipped through the calendar on a whim and realized that it was his birthday this year.
Because Su Xiaoxiao's birthday was a little special, it was the thirtieth day of the second month of the Lunar Calendar. Usually, Su Xiaoxiao would treat March 1st as his birthday.
Su Xiaoxiao happily drew a circle with his red pen on the day of April 5th, reminding himself.
It wasn't easy to have a birthday that really belonged to him. Su Xiaoxiao naturally wanted to celebrate, and what she wanted to celebrate the most was her birthday with Lu Yuanchen. Su Xiaoxiao was grinning from ear to ear when he thought about the people he liked, the beautiful lights, the flowers that filled the sky.
Lu Yuanchen had long since noticed the words on the red circle on the calendar in his home. He thought Aunt Wu had reminded him and asked him before he knew that it was Su Xiaoxiao's masterpiece.
His deep black eyes stared fixedly at the date on the calendar as a thoughtful expression flashed across his eyes. Then he revealed a look of deep understanding, he thought, he had guessed what day it was. He couldn't help but smile.
At the dinner table, Su Xiaoxiao was eating while carefully raising his head to look at Lu Yuanchen. He looked like he wanted to say something, but was hesitating to speak. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to put it into words. Su Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, her small face blushing red.
Even Lu Yuanchen felt that it was hard to control his anger when he saw Su Xiaoxiao like this, so he put down his chopsticks helplessly. He was the first to ask, "Is something the matter?"
Hearing Lu Yuanchen's question, Su Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment. His eyes became unfocused and he did not dare meet Lu Yuanchen's gaze. Then, he gathered up his courage and looked at Lu Yuanchen, probing: "CEO, do you have time next week?" Right, first ask the president if he has time before asking further. If the other person didn't have time, wouldn't it be too abrupt if he said his birthday himself?
The corner of his mouth raised upwards. Lu Yuanchen couldn't help but exclaim in his heart, Su Xiaoxiao was really the purest girl he had ever seen. He could see her face very clearly in his heart. She had that look of anticipation in her eyes, but she was very careful when she asked him.
Glancing at Su Xiaoxiao, Lu Yuanchen deliberately wore a straight face, and coldly said: "You should ask Special Assistant Ling about the journey." All of Lu Yuanchen's one-day travel problems were handled by him alone. Sometimes, Ling Te Helper knew his schedule even better than Lu Yuanchen himself.
It was not too early for Lu Yuanchen to guess that it was Su Xiaoxiao's birthday. Now that he said it like that, Lu Yuanchen admitted that he did it on purpose. He just liked to tease Su Xiaoxiao, and watched as Su Xiaoxiao was at a loss on what to do.
As expected, after hearing what Lu Yuanchen said, Su Xiaoxiao was so anxious that he didn't know what to say. He was in a hurry.
Lu Yuanchen did not go overboard. Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's anxious look, he pretended to open his mouth once more: What, do you have something on that day?
Su Xiaoxiao lowered his head, glanced at Lu Yuanchen, then shyly lowered his head, not knowing what he should say. If she told the CEO that it was her birthday and that she hoped he could spend it with her, wouldn't the CEO think too much about it and feel like she was a casual girl? Could it be too abrupt?
Su Xiaoxiao thought about all this and he couldn't help but stutter as he explained, "I … That... "That day …"
