President, please comfort me.

By noon, the two, who had been in Xiangcheng that morning, had returned to the capital.

In the spring breeze, in the living room.

Wen Qi looked at the living room filled with boxes and boxes of all kinds of Xiangcheng specialties, her mouth curving into an "O" shape in surprise: "Wow, how did you buy so much?"

Ah Chen stood to the side, still munching on a duck neck, eating with relish: "Xiao Qi, Brother Xiao said you love to eat this, so he asked me to buy more so you can bring some to your friends or colleagues."

Xiao He was sitting on the sofa working on documents when he heard their conversation. He looked up at A-Chen and said, "You can go out now."

"Oh, okay, Brother Xiao." After saying that, Ah Chen didn't forget to grab a bag of spicy duck sauce from the side.

Wen Qi shifted her gaze from the pile of local specialties: "I only need to bring some for my friends, and we can take the rest back to the Governor's Mansion tonight."

Xiao He put down his computer, stood up, and went over to look at the food: "No need, it's all for you. Keep it for yourself."

He added, "But don't eat too much at once."

"I can't possibly eat all of this. I'll bring some back for Ah Chen, Ah Biao, and Brother Tang Chao later."

"Whatever you want. I have to go to the company now. I'll pick you up later. Stay home and don't wander off."

"I know, I won't keep you waiting." Wen Qi grabbed a few bags of food, turned around, took off her shoes, and sat down on the sofa with her legs crossed.

"Ah."

After Xiao He left, Wen Qi first called Tang Hui to tell her to come home for dinner that night. Little did she know that Tang Hui had already received Xiao He's call and had already instructed the servants to prepare the food and drinks.

Then, Wen Qi took a panoramic photo of the local specialties in the living room and posted it to the group chat of the four friends. Soon, everyone started to chime in.

Lanling: So many!! I really want to eat them all.

Wen Qi: Hehe, wait, I'll send it to you right away.

Wen Qi: The big boss bought it, so I'm just passing it on.

Lanling: Thank you, my darling.

Wen Qi: @Chen Nuo @Yang Xu I'll bring it to you tomorrow. I have to go back to the Governor's Mansion for a meal today, so I don't have time.

Chen Nuo: No rush, no rush. But my parents know you two are in the capital and they're insisting that you come over for lunch. How about tomorrow at noon?

Yang Xu: Hmm.

Lanling: "Angry!.jpg" "What, have feelings cooled down?.jpg"

Yang Xu: I'm fine with anything, I'll listen to Qi Bao. After all, I'm beholden to those who pay the bills.

Chen Nuo: Lan Bao, don't be angry. Come over next week for Valentine's Day, and we'll take you to eat whatever we want. [Smirking emoji]

Wen Qi: Then tomorrow at noon.

Chen Nuo: OK.

Yang Xu: Received.

Yang Xu: @Lanling Baozi, I'll take pictures of the food your aunt and uncle made for you tomorrow. Seeing it is the same as eating it, haha.

Lanling: Thank you, Xu Gou. [Smiling face emoji]

Wen Qi: Hahaha... How childish!

Yang Xu: "Eye roll.jpg" "Eye roll.jpg"

Wenqi edited the photos while chatting. She had taken a lot of photos in the past few days, but hadn't posted them on her WeChat Moments yet.

During this time, I also sent messages to Tang Chao, Tang Yue, Ye Lin, and A Chen, asking them to come to Chunfengli to pick up local specialties when they have time.

Ah Chen was the most proactive, replying almost instantly: Xiao Qi, I'm with Brother Xiao at the company now. I'll get it when I get back tonight, so be sure to wait for me.

Wen Qi smiled and said, "Okay, I've saved it for you."

Tang Yue replied quickly: Thank you, sister-in-law.

Wen Qi: You're welcome. Actually, it was all bought by your brother, hehe.

Tang Yue: My brother must have bought it for you, sister-in-law. I'm just basking in your glory and getting a free meal.

Wen Qi: "Smiling face.jpg"

Tang Chao and Ye Lin replied to her after a while. The two grown men were not interested in these things. Tang Chao said that he would not fight with a child for snacks and told her to keep them for herself.

Ye Lin said he dared not eat it, fearing he would be beaten by Xiao He, which left Wen Qi both amused and exasperated.

After posting on her WeChat Moments, Wen Qi felt relieved and went upstairs to take a shower. She was afraid that going out to buy gifts alone would lead to some unexpected trouble and she would get scolded by Xiao He again, so she simply lay down and decided to buy them online later or when she went out with friends.

Xiao Group, President's Office.

Ah Biao stood respectfully in front of the desk: "Boss, this is the jewelry set you mentioned."

"Well, hard work."

Xiao He was wearing a pure black shirt with a black tie, all the buttons fastened, and casually sat sideways on the desk, one leg straight and the other bent.

What's laid out beside me is the "Pure White Dream" jewelry set that Ah Biao brought back from an auction in Country M. This set includes a necklace, bracelet, and earrings.

The necklace is set with 108 white diamonds, and the pendant is two stars embracing each other, making it very dazzling.

The bracelet is delicate yet elegant, with a pearl set in the center of a dazzling diamond. The pearl is round and smooth with a rich texture.

The main body of the earring is shaped like a moon, with two delicate, shimmering tassels hanging down.

Most importantly, the origin of this jewelry set is said to be a famous jewelry designer from the United States who designed it especially for his beloved wife. The two were very much in love, and their story spread far and wide. After his wife passed away, he donated the set in accordance with her last wish, hoping that the recipient would be loved forever.

Xiao He covered the jewelry, looked at A Biao's upright posture, stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't be so tense. Things are different now. Take some time to learn from A Chen. He is much more relaxed than you. Focus on the Dongning Island Resort project. Ask Ye Lin if you don't understand anything."

Ah Biao scratched his head: "Got it, boss."

"Go ahead."

Xiao He left the company, carrying the jewelry with a smile on his face, and drove off into the spring breeze.

On the way, Ye Lin called him and asked him to go to Peach Blossom that night, but he refused: "I'm having dinner with my wife at the Governor's Mansion tonight, I don't have time!"

Ye Lin looked at him with disbelief, as if he had heard a hilarious joke: "Are you possessed? You've become a henpecked husband so quickly? Stop pretending, I know everything."

Xiao He dismissed his sarcasm: "You don't know anything, you don't understand."

After Xiao He unilaterally hung up the phone, Ye Lin immediately called Tang Chao as well: "Hey, do you think Brother Xiao is possessed? I called him Peach tonight, and he actually bragged to me that he was going to spend time with his wife?"

Tang Chao wasn't too surprised, but sighed softly, "This kind of situation will probably only increase in the future, so you should be prepared."

Ye Lin sighed dramatically, "Sigh, we agreed to stay single together, but he secretly got close to women and found a wife."

Tang Chao bluntly said, "Come on, when it comes to getting close to women, he's nowhere near as good as you."

Ye Lin retorted, "Get lost! Others may not know, but don't you know me? I'm still a virgin."

Tang Chao retorted, "Get lost! Who knows how big you are? I'm in a meeting, I don't have time to waste on your nonsense."

At 3:30, Xiao He returned to Chunfengli, carrying milk tea in one hand and jewelry in the other. As expected, the living room was empty, with no sign of Wen Qi.

He first put the jewelry back in the master bedroom, and then knocked on Wen Qi's door.

"The door's unlocked, come in."

Wen Qi was wearing headphones and sitting in front of the computer looking at computer data. When she saw Xiao He walk in, she took off her headphones and turned her head: "Finished so quickly?"

Xiao He looked straight at Wen Qi, who was wearing a pure white short and cool nightgown, his breathing was heavy, and his eyes were dark and turbulent: "Well, I sent you messages and called you but you didn't answer. I just bought you a cup of milk tea. See if it suits your taste."

"Oh, I wasn't looking at my phone, sorry. I like all kinds of milk tea, hehe, thank you."

Wen Qi jumped up and hopped to take the milk tea, then sat down on the sofa.

Seeing that he was still standing, Wen Qi hesitated for a moment: "Would you... like to sit down for a while?"

Xiao He, of course, wouldn't refuse. He immediately sat down opposite Wen Qi and asked, "What were you doing just now?"

Wen Qi took a sip of her milk tea: "I'm watching some Java learning videos."

"So eager to learn." Xiao He was somewhat surprised, and looked at her with a smile.

"Of course! You're never too old to learn." Although Wen Qi's computer skills are already very advanced, there's no end to learning, and she has never thought of stopping.

"Hmm, that's good. Shall we continue watching?" Xiao He agreed with her learning philosophy.

"I'm not watching anymore, I've seen enough."

"Let's go to the Governor's Mansion now, it's getting late and there's bound to be traffic."

"Okay, I'll change my clothes, wait for me."

"Hmm, no rush."

Wen Qi went back to her room to change her clothes, and Xiao He sat on the sofa waiting for her. Ten minutes later, the two came to the living room. Wen Qi insisted on taking some local specialties back with her, and Xiao He let her.

Xiao He picked out a dark green SUV from the garage and took Wen Qi to the Baidu Mansion.
