Surprise! The wife of a top star is actually a Nobel Prize winner

Her face felt a little hot, as if he was about to discover her secret.

Li Sheng, who was munching on an appetizer nearby, chimed in, "That's right, Xiao Chengcheng. I saw that beautiful picture of you in the garden that Li Xiao drew, and I thought there was a beautiful junior girl here at school without my knowledge. I had a hard time finding her at school this weekend!"

As soon as Li Sheng said this, he realized that something was wrong and thought to himself: Oh no, my two meals from Mother Li are gone.

He quickly slapped himself on the mouth, looked up at Li Xiao, and sure enough, saw the handsome Li Xiao baring his rabbit teeth at him...

He leaned behind Xiao Chengcheng fearfully.

Li Xiao was speechless, helpless and angry when he saw his useless appearance.

"Beautiful pictures of spring scenery?" Cen Cheng's puzzled voice sounded.

Li Xiao had originally planned to find a suitable opportunity to explain to Cen Cheng that he had accidentally put her into the painting, but after being caught off guard by Li Sheng, he had to explain with a little embarrassment.

"The day you visited our school, I happened to be at my teacher's house getting some documents. As I passed by the small garden, I saw you reading in the spring sunshine, and I suddenly felt the urge to draw, so I sketched it. Later, Li Sheng called me away with an emergency call, and I didn't have time to ask for your opinion. I'm sorry, I'll return the painting to you later. I hope you don't mind."

Cen Cheng quickly said, "I don't mind, I don't mind. It's my honor to be included in your painting. You don't have to return the painting to me."

Cen Cheng knew Li Xiao's painting skills. In his previous life, he had seen his fans recommend many of his paintings from his amateur period on the Internet, several of which had won awards.

She felt extremely honored to be able to be included in his paintings in this life.

Li Sheng saw that Xiao Chengcheng really didn't mind and was no longer afraid, so he patted her shoulder and said, "Xiao Chengcheng is really generous, but I'm also curious, why did you end up at our school?"

"I just happened to have lunch nearby and thought I'd go in to help with the food. I didn't expect to run into Li Xiao by chance."

Cen Cheng thought, just for this, she went shopping for another morning the next day.

Li Xiao saw Li Sheng's hand patting Cen Cheng's shoulder, and heard her call him Li Xiao. Just a moment ago, she had affectionately called Li Sheng "Brother Sheng." Why did he feel a little jealous?!

After listening to their words, Boss Wen smiled and said, "It seems that Cen Cheng and our Haoyue are truly destined to meet. They even met like this. Come, in honor of this fate, let's fill our glasses and have a drink together. Welcome Cen Cheng to join our Haoyue Planning Department."

While everyone was pouring their drinks, Li Xiao quickly poured a glass of coconut milk into Cen Cheng's glass, and then poured one for himself.

Cen Cheng was about to say that he didn't drink: "..."

Li Sheng, who was about to pour red wine for Cen Cheng: "..."

"No, Li Xiao, what do you mean? Xiao Chengcheng hasn't said anything yet, why are you pouring coconut milk for her?"

"What kind of wine are you drinking, kid? Don't lead the child astray."

Li Sheng argued, "How can she be called a kid? She became an adult last year, and she graduated from the same university class as you and me. If you don't believe me, ask Xiao Chengcheng if she wants to drink."

Cen Cheng, who had recovered from Li Xiao's call of "little friend," said, "Brother Sheng, I don't drink alcohol, so coconut milk is fine."

After hearing this, Boss Wen also said, "Little Leo, if Cen Cheng doesn't want to drink, then don't force her. We don't force girls to drink."

Seeing that Cen Cheng and the boss said this, Li Sheng put down the red wine in his hand.

Then he protested as usual when the boss called him "Little Leo", but it didn't have any effect.

After everyone had a glass of wine or drink, they drank together and continued to enjoy the food.

After eating and drinking, the group prepared to go home.

When checking out at the front desk, Cen Cheng wanted to pay the bill.

Because when she arrived, she heard the boss say that the dinner was to celebrate her joining the company, and she was not sure whether to pay the bill, but she often heard Qian Qing say that girls should not let others pay the bill easily, so she thought, she should pay it.

Boss Wen, who was about to pay the bill, sobered up when he saw Cen Cheng silently handing the QR code to the restaurant cashier. "Cen Cheng, you don't have to pay. You girl, how can you be so aggressive, wanting to pay without even saying a word?"

Li Xiao, who was standing next to her, quickly pulled Cen Cheng away. Seeing her black and white eyes filled with confusion, he explained, "You don't have to pay. For gatherings like this, the boss usually pays first, and then takes the invoice to the company for reimbursement."

Li Xiao was deeply moved when he saw Cen Cheng, who had been cleared of his doubts, put away his phone obediently and stood aside with other colleagues waiting for Boss Wen to pay the bill.

She's still five years younger than them, innocent as a blank slate. She probably doesn't understand the interpersonal relationships in the workplace. Anyway, I'll give her some pointers when I see her. Fortunately, she's receptive to others' advice and willing to learn when she doesn't understand something. That's all that matters.

After spending the whole day together today, Li Xiao felt several times that whenever her colleagues joked or talked to her, she would feel a little helpless, as if she was not able to handle these interpersonal relationships. She wanted to fit in but didn't know where to start.

So when Li Sheng was a bit noisy during lunch, he didn't stop her. He noticed that although Cen Cheng didn't say much during the process, as Li Sheng played around, she gradually let down her guard and joined in a little.

I also remembered that Sister Li once sighed after the interview with Cen Cheng, saying that her answers to questions during the interview were flawless and she was so mature that she didn't seem like a new member of society who was only under 19 years old.

This is very different from her youthful and green appearance after joining the company today. I guess it was her intelligence that helped her during the interview.

After all, for a university graduate, as long as they were well prepared and followed the right path in an interview, they could indeed be as sophisticated as her. However, their true nature could not be hidden in their daily work, so today, he had noticed the difference.

The reason why she tried her best to prepare so thoroughly, besides saying that she liked this city, was probably because she wanted to get away from the sad place and try her best to stay here.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao's heart tightened again.

At this time, Cen Cheng didn't know that on her first day at work, Li Xiao had seen through the disguise she wore during the interview. She was sending a message to Qian Dong telling him that he could go home.

After Boss Wen paid the bill, the group left the restaurant.

As they walked towards the parking lot, Li Xiao asked softly, "Chengcheng, where do you live?"

Cen Cheng was a little surprised. Li Xiao was unusually gentle at the moment. "I live in Xingheyuan, near the company. If it's not on your way, I can take a bus back by myself."
