Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Willing to Take You as a Son-in-law Chapter 458: Chapter 458: Willing to Take You as a Son-in-law Even President Zhao’s face lit up with surprise, “This is truly an unexpected delight! President Lu, your husband has really been a big help this ti! How about I take the opportunity to treat him to a al and formally thank him?”
“No worries, he did it to help ,” Lu Youxi said with a smile.
“Regardless, today’s al must be on ,” President Zhao hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly and was indescribably happy, feeling a surge of generosity.
“Then we won’t stand on ceremony with you, President Zhao,” Lu Youxi replied with a smile.
The matter settled, lunch concluded, and Lu Youxi stood at the entrance of Dongshenglai, bidding farewell to President Zhao and his entourage.
Afterward, she headed back to et up with Zhou Shuyan in Shi Yusheng’s office.
Lu Youxi took the chance to thank Shi Yusheng as well.
“Sister-in-law, please don’t ntion it. I just helped you transport the rice to Imperial Capital once, and now Brother Yan’s jealousy has filled up the entire room,” Shi Yusheng scratched his head, feigning a pitiful look, yet he didn’t forget to tease Zhou Shuyan.
Zhou Shuyan coughed dryly and scratched the tip of his nose, “I’m just expressing that I can be of help too.”
“Yes, you were indeed the biggest help to this ti,” Lu Youxi quickly said, “President Zhao is so happy, he insists on taking you out for a al.”
“I declined on your behalf; otherwise, I was afraid I’d scare President Zhao,” Lu Youxi stated.
Zhou Shuyan: “…”
Aren’t you worried that I might not want to go to dinner with President Zhao?
“Wasn’t it you who said it?” Lu Youxi shot him a glance, “Told not to feel troubled by involving you, so I’m not worried you wouldn’t want to go.”
“Even if I didn’t want to, if you’ve agreed to it, could I not show up?” Lu Youxi asked with a smile.
Zhou Shuyan couldn’t help but laugh, “Yes, if you’ve agreed to it, I indeed have to go.”
At one side, Shi Yusheng grimaced, “Have you two had enough? Are you showing off your love in front of ?”
Zhou Shuyan raised an eyebrow, “Does this count as flaunting our love?”
“Of course, it does,” Shi Yusheng gritted his teeth, wanting to show Zhou Shuyan, “Any couple that stands in front of is already flaunting their love. Not to ntion, you two were just openly teasing each other.”
Lu Youxi: “…”
Shi Yusheng was indeed quite sensitive in this regard.
Zhou Shuyan curled his lips, “Fine, since your sister-in-law’s business is done, we’ll head out and stop bothering you.”
“Oh right, sister-in-law, if you know any nice girls, could you introduce ?” Shi Yusheng asked Lu Youxi.
“Do you still need to introduce soone to you?” Lu Youxi asked with a laugh, “You’re handso and all-around a good catch. Whoever you like just go for it, do you need to introduce anyone?”
“It’s just that I’m looking for true love. What if I run into soone who only sees my various conditions?” Shi Yusheng said.
Lu Youxi shook her head, “I don’t really agree with that. Be it looks or other external or intrinsic qualities, including material conditions, they are all part of who you are from birth. These are your strengths, one shouldn’t expect them to be ignored, or ask not to be seen, right?”
“People like you, the first thing they feel drawn to might be your looks or your charisma, which are your exterior traits. It’s only after spending ti together that you can tell if your inner selves are compatible.”
“As for your worry about gold-diggers attracted to your wealth, you’re smart enough to figure that out,” Lu Youxi said with a smile, “Besides that, you certainly can’t stop people from liking how good-looking you are, can you?”
“That’s also true,” Shi Yusheng nodded, not noticing Zhou Shuyan’s face darkening when Lu Youxi praised how good-looking Shi Yusheng was.
Lu Youxi had actually noticed soone other than himself being handso!
Shi Yusheng didn’t see it, but Lu Youxi caught a glimpse by accident and quickly added, “Anyway, I really like that Zhou Shuyan is good-looking.”
As she spoke, she covertly glanced over and indeed saw Zhou Shuyan’s expression relax considerably after hearing her words.
Clearly, Zhou Shuyan was quite pleased by Lu Youxi’s flattering.
Lu Youxi continued, “Anyway, in my eyes, no one looks better than Zhou Shuyan.”
Shi Yusheng was just about to tell Lu Youxi that she might be exaggerating a bit with her praise.
But then he saw Zhou Shuyan’s face, the embodint of satisfaction, with an uncontrollable smile still hanging on his lips.
Shi Yusheng: “…”
He hadn’t expected Lu Youxi’s complints to hit Zhou Shuyan right in the feels.
Shi Yusheng wisely kept quiet.
After Lu Youxi had finished, Zhou Shuyan finally said, “We won’t disturb your work anymore; we’ll be heading out.”
Shi Yusheng wanted to say he wasn’t very busy at the mont, but seeing Zhou Shuyan’s eagerness to have so alone ti with Lu Youxi, he smartly refrained from asking them to stay.
Since they had just eaten lunch, the two of them didn’t linger outside for long.
Zhou Shuyan drove straight ho with Lu Youxi.
As soon as Lu Youxi got ho, she was in the habit of changing into sothing more comfortable, which made her feel relaxed and at ease.
So, upon entering the house, she headed straight for her wardrobe to change clothes.
After changing, she washed her face.
Lu Youxi suspected she might have a bit of a cleanliness obsession.
She hadn’t put on makeup before leaving the house, and they hadn’t been out for long.
But upon returning, she felt as if her face were coated in dust from outside.
Had she planned to go out again, it might have been different, but since she intended to stay in, Lu Youxi always felt her face was dirty after coming back from outdoors.
So she washed her face once more, using facial cleanser to ticulously clean, seemingly determined not to miss a single pore.
Back in Hexing Village, she didn’t have the ans for such a routine, especially since after school she’d hurry ho to make use of the lunch break to work in the fields.
There were no field chores in the evening, but she would still do house chores with Liu Yushu.
On days off, from dawn to dusk, there was no rest as she was always busy with chores.
So even if she had a bit of an obsession with cleanliness, her circumstances didn’t allow her to fully indulge it.
Now, at last, she could satisfy her little obsession as per her habits and preferences.
After washing her face, Lu Youxi returned to the bedroom and sat in front of the vanity mirror, applying so toner and lotion to moisturize her face.
Lu Youxi was just applying her lotion.
Zhou Shuyan slowly approached her from behind, step by step, suddenly bending down and leaning in close to her face.
Lu Youxi could even feel the warmth radiating from his skin.
Lu Youxi looked suspiciously at Zhou Shuyan through the mirror.
What was up with this man now?
Then she heard Zhou Shuyan say next to her face, “Do you really think no one looks better than ?”
Lu Youxi: “…”
Turns out, this man was still hung up on that.
Lu Youxi hurriedly nodded, “Of course, that’s true. You are extrely handso.”
“Back in Hexing Village, everyone thought you had nothing, not even a proper identity, yet several young girls liked you. Xiao Fen’s family even wanted to take you as their live-in son-in-law.”
