It was past three in the afternoon when Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan left the company, one after the other.

Upon reaching the underground parking garage, he walked to the car and habitually started to pull on the rear door handle.

He made contact but then let go, instead moving two steps forward, pulled open the car door and took a seat in the passenger seat.

As Shi Huan got into the car, Chu Xiuhuang leaned back onto the seat, one hand supporting his graceful head, and one tapping rhythmically on his long leg, with his eyes slightly closed and said casually, “Secretary Shi, if my big brother asked what happened to my lips when we arrive at Huo Yuan, what should I say?”

Shi Huan turned the key in the ignition, “Master Chu, you’re overthinking it, a mature and steady man like Mr. Huo certainly won’t notice anything about your lips.”

Chu Xiuhuang:”…”

The car smoothly pulled out.

Chu Xiuhuang maintained his original position, his gaze consistently rested on

Shi Huan’s face.

After a while, Shi Huan finally couldn’t help but speak up, “Master Chu, is there something on my face that I didn t clean off?

“No.” Chu Xiuhuang replied but continued to watch her unwaveringly.

Shi Huan: “…”

Some time passed again.

Shi Huan frowned, “Master Chu, I’m not comfortable being watched while I’m

driving.”

“Really?” Chu Xiuhuang raised his eyebrow and suddenly asked, “What brand

of shampoo do you use?”

Shi Huan was taken aback.

“Buy me a case of it and send it to my villa tomorrow.” Chu Xiuhuang continued, then added, “They should have a men’s version, right?”

Shi Huan thought about it, “I don’t think so.”

“How is that possible? All care products have men’s and women’s versions.” Chu Xiuhuang thought his secretary was deliberately misleading him. But who knew…

“Master Chu, I use a common brand, not those international ones like you. They don’t separate their versions into men’s or women’s. Also, when I bought it, it was during supermarket promotions- – three bottles for 50 yuan, which could be used for the entire year.”

ChuXiuhuang: “…”

“Master Chu, do you still want it?”

Shi Huan thought, a man of noble background and great taste in life like Master Chu would want the most expensive and the best of everything. He surely would not appreciate her common brand products.

She had once accompanied him to an antiques market, where an inconspicuous small dish that seemed rather inappropriate for her to dip dumplings in caught his fancy. He didn’t blink an eye in paying five million for it.

How could such a man possibly…

“I want it.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Huan almost slammed on the brakes.

She couldn’t understand his thought process.

But since the young master of the Chu family said he wanted it, Shi Huan nodded, “Alright, tonight I’ll go to the supermarket to see if there is any promotional event going on. The price is 50 yuan for 3 bottles, a case is 20 bottles, so it would be…”

“I’ll transfer you 10,000 yuan.”

Shi Huan hurriedly spoke out, “There’s no need for that much.

“It’s fine, just remember at next big supermarket sale that your boss is interested.” Chu Xiuhuang said half-jokingly.

Shi Huan was struck dumb: “…Alright.”

The prestigious Young Master Chu would actually use cheap shampoo that costs 3 bottles for 50 yuan?

If this were to get out, what would his crazy female fans think?

Shi Huan couldn’t help but shiver at the thought.

Fourty minutes later, at the headquarters of the Huo Yuan Group.

As soon as Chu Xiuhuang and Shi Huan walked into the 5oth-floor meeting room, they saw the two representatives of Bingo’s creative team already seated.

“Master Chu?”

Shen Bingbing immediately stood up, her finely drawn eyes locked onto Chu Xiuhuang’s face. “Are you personally attending today’s meeting?

She had been collaborating with Huangyou for several years, but had not met

Chu Xiuhuang more than three times.

Even when she went to Huangyou for meetings or attended some ceremonial events, Chu Xiuhuang was always elusive.

In truth, although Huangyou was invested and established by Chu Xiuhuang, most of the work was taken care of by Secretary Shi. Secretary Shi was more like the real person in charge of Huangyou. Hence, the habit of having work discussions with Secretary Shi was the norm, never expecting Chu Xiuhuang would personally attend such a minor meeting today.

Upon close inspection, Chu Xiuhuang appeared even more handsome and charming, his facial features subtly soft and gentle.

Mrs Chu was of Chinese-Russian descent, so the Chu family members had a bit of mixed blood, with high cheekbones, slender faces, the same narrow phoenix eyes being the standard for everyone. At first glance, they all naturally possessed a certain nobility.

In the words of the media, Chu Xiuhuang had what people called the “imperial appearance”!

Shen Bingbing was so excited that she wanted to shake hands with Chu Xiuhuang.

This would have been completely impossible in the past. Chu Xiuhuang was notably hygienic, even female companions were not allowed to touch his hands directly, at most they could only arm-link over his clothes. However now…

Chu Xiuhuang lifted his hand and shook hers gentlemanly.

Meanwhile, his long phoenix eyes glanced at Shi Huan.

Years of tacit understanding allowed Shi Huan to suppress her surprise instantly. She stepped forward and whispered, “Bingo’s Creative Director Shen Bingbing.”

“Director Shen.” Chu Xiuhuang separated his thin lips, revealing a slight smile. Shen Bingbing felt as if all the pear trees had blossomed at once, the smile made her world burst into radiant colors and spring-like jubilation.

Her face lit up instantaneously, her eyes filled with a layer of unspoken sentiment, her voice laden with charm, “I didn’t expect that Mr. Chu would remember me.”

This was completely unexpected and flattering.

“Miss Shen, being a capable and beautiful working woman and our longstanding partner at Huangyou, how could I possibly forget?” Chu Xiuhuang continued smiling.

As expected, his words tickled Shen Bingbing pink, “Mr. Chu certainly knows howto flatter.”

“No, no, no.” Chu Xiuhuang withdrew his hand at the right moment.

Shen Bingbing paused in surprise.

“I, Chu Xiuhuang, always tell the truth. I only compliment women I admire, like… Miss Shen.”

Shen Bingbing’s laughter fluttered uncontrollably, as she was exceedingly delighted.

Watching Chu Xiuhuang take a seat, she went over and sat next to him. She didn’t expect Chu Xiuhuang to be so approachable, talkative, and friendly, completely different from the rumors.

She had always believed that in Nancheng, among the wealthy families, men like Huo Jingshen, who were handsome and classy, were the most captivating. But after personally interacting with Chu Xiuhuang today, she suddenly felt that President Huo was somewhat too reserved, always keeping people at arm’s length.

And he was already married.

By comparison, indeed like Chu Xiuhuang, a single noble man, was more attractive to women.

At this time, Shi Huan also found a seat on the other side, opened her laptop, she was just about to check the questions she was going to present but was constantly interrupted by laughter.

Most of them were the high-spirited, flirty voices of women, occasionally accompanied by Chu Xiuhuang’s deep and attractive voice.

Shi Huan couldn’t help but wrinkle her brow.

Shen Bingbing was twenty-five this year.

If you’re talking about appearance – Nondescript.

If you’ re talking about work ability – Mediocre at best.

If you’ re talking about family wealth – just as ordinary as anyone could be. If she was chosen to be Chu’s female companion in the past, he would have found it absolutely banal, why is he so enthusiastic about her today?

Has he become desperate?

Thinking about the kiss last night…

It must be it.

Due to Chu’s old man’s intensive arrangement of blind dates, she indeed hadn t arranged any female companions for Chu. Even at Chu’s old man’s birthday banquet, it was her who accompanied him.

Shi Huan quickly opened her planner and wrote in delicate handwriting,. “Starting today, make reservations for female companions for Mr. Chu.” “By the way, Mr. Chu.” Shen Bingbing’s voice suddenly rose again, “What happened to your lips?”

At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps outside. Immediately following that, Huo Jingshen walked in first, followed by his special assistant and several key staff members from the operations and planning departments.

“Hello, everyone.”

Huo Jingshen scanned the room. Finally, his gaze landed on Chu Xiuhuang’s face.

Chu Xiuhuang immediately smiled at him, “Hello, what would you like to ask, brother?”

Do you want to ask what happened to my lips?

Come on, ask, ask now!

Huo Jingshen raised an eyebrow. His cold voice smooth and calm, “Has the sun risen from the west today? What are you doing here?”

ChuXiuhuang:”…”

Damn!

He didn’t want to answer.

Shi Huan, who was nearby, hastily spoke up, “President Huo, since some of the suggestions in the case were proposed by Mr. Chu, he is also here to attend this discussion.”

“Oh.” Huo Jingshen responded indifferently, pulling out his chair to sit down, “I thought Huangyou was going bankrupt.”

His underlying meaning was that the boss was forced to come out and scout for work.

Shi Huan:”…”

Chu Xiuhuang rolled his eyes in annoyance, “Got bitten by the bunny at home.” Huo Jingshen scowled and looked over, other people in the room also confounded.

For a moment, nobody knew why Chu, the young master, would make such a comment?

The recently inquisitive Shen Bingbing quickly chimed in cheerfully, “So it was bitten by a bunny.”

“Yes, the little rabbit at my home is so wild.” After Chu Xiuhuang finished speaking, he glanced intentionally at Shi Huan beside him, “It’s a black bunny!”

Shi Huan:
