President, please comfort me.

"Oh, right, besides those gifts, there's this too." Xiao He said as he opened the exquisite box containing [Pure White Dream].

"What is this?" Wen Qi's bright eyes darted around.

Xiao He looked at her with a smile: "This is a gift I bought for you. Take a look, do you like it?"

"Why did you suddenly buy me a gift? I feel so embarrassed." Having just been confessed to and then given a gift, Wen Qi's fair cheeks instantly flushed red, and her voice was as sweet as a cute girl's.

"If you like it, I'll buy it for you. Besides, an apology has to be sincere; you can't just rely on words." Xiao He ruffled her hair and spoke gently, mimicking her tone.

"I'll put it on for you."

"Ah, no need, no need." Wen Qi waved her hands in refusal.

Xiao He gently pulled her along, saying, "Sit still, be good. We've already bought it."

There was nothing she could do! At this moment, Wen Qi, still somewhat dazed, was like a fresh fish on a chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered, completely at Xiao He's mercy.

Xiao He took out the dazzling necklace, gently lifted Wen Qi's fair and slender neck, and lightly hung the necklace around her neck. He carefully adjusted the position so that the shining gemstone would fall precisely between her collarbones.

As he drew closer, a faint scent of perfume wafted into Wen Qi's air. She feigned composure, pursed her lips, and looked at him, saying, "Thank you."

Xiao He took a step back and carefully examined Wen Qi in front of him. A satisfied smile appeared on his lips: "Hmm, not bad."

"No need to thank me, I'm happy to buy it for you."

Xiao He's sudden change in attitude caught Wen Qi off guard. Hearing his ambiguous words, she lowered her head awkwardly, not daring to look at him.

Wen Qi raised her hand to touch the necklace around her neck, as if talking to herself: "This must be very expensive."

"It's not expensive, you deserve it." Xiao He felt a sense of fulfillment seeing her sitting obediently beside him, a feeling that came from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, ask your friend when he's free. I'll treat him to a meal and apologize to him." Although Xiao He doesn't have a good reputation outside, he's not so domineering and arrogant in front of his own people, as can be seen from the occasional jokes Ye Lin and Tang Chao make about him.

He felt it was his problem, so he should just deal with it. Wen Qi's friends were naturally his own people, and his pride wasn't that important among his own people.

Wen Qi was shocked to hear that he was actually thinking of apologizing to Yang Xu.

Who is Xiao He? He's the notorious villain in the capital, according to Yang Xu. He just beat someone up and now he's apologizing. If Yang Xu finds out, he'll brag about it for the rest of his life. So he quickly refused, "Ah, no need. I'll explain the situation to him later."

Xiao He persisted: "But I want to get to know your friends."

"Okay, I'll ask him later." Wen Qi agreed when she saw that he seemed quite serious.

"By the way, Aunt Hui probably knows we're not living together anymore. What should we do? Did we upset her?"

Xiao looked at her unhappily and corrected her: "We've registered our marriage, call her Mom."

"Forehead."

"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Starting tomorrow, you can move into the master bedroom." Xiao He pinched Wen Qi's earlobe, making a domineering arrangement.

He leaned closer to Wen Qi, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, his warm breath brushed against her ear: "It'll be good for you to get to know me better."

Wen Qi immediately felt embarrassed, her face turning bright red. She pushed him away, saying, "You wish! I remember every single word you said on the day we got our marriage certificate, hmph."

Wen Qi stood up and walked towards the door, beginning to dismiss him: "You should leave now, I want to sleep."

Seeing her haughty demeanor, Xiao He curled his lips and followed her, saying, "What did you say? I don't remember."

“I only remember…” Xiao He bent down slightly, his gaze level with Wen Qi’s. He tucked a stray hair behind her ear, his Adam’s apple bobbing slightly, his eyes darkening: “Wife, I love you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao He took advantage of Wen Qi's inattention and stole a kiss on her pink lips. It was quick and light, like a dragonfly skimming the water. Then he opened the door and walked out with a look of triumph, leaving Wen Qi stunned.

After a long while, Wen Qi raised a hand and gently placed it on her lips, her tongue involuntarily licking the spot where he had kissed her.

My heart was pounding and I felt a bit hot, so I quickly drank a glass of cold water before lying back down in bed.

After calming down, she first sent a message to Yang Xu: Xu, Xiao He hit you last time, right? He said he wants to apologize to you today and invite you to dinner. What do you think?

Yang Xu had just finished dinner with his parents. Both of them were very career-oriented and didn't communicate with him much, so the family atmosphere was just so-so. After dinner, everyone went back to their own rooms.

Yang Xu heard his phone ring and saw the message from Wen Qi, and was somewhat surprised: An apology?? Xiao He and me??

Wen Qi: Yes, he apologized to me too.

Yang Xu was surprised again: So you forgave him?

Wen Qi thought of Xiao He's confession and the farewell kiss, turned over, hid under the covers, and typed with a smile on her lips: "Mmm."

Yang Xu: Then why are you asking me? I'll listen to you. Besides, I already hit him, so there's no need for an apology.

Yang Xu: But how did he suddenly come to this realization? Could it be that he likes you?

Yang Xu: Damn it! Tell me exactly what I missed!

Yang Xu: Where is everyone? Come out now!

Wen Qi watched as Yang Xu bombarded her with messages. She wanted to say something but didn't know how to talk to him, so she simply ended the conversation: "We'll talk about it at work tomorrow. Go to sleep. Goodnight."

Yang Xu was very astute; he could tell something was fishy at a glance. He thought, "Let's do it tomorrow; it'll be even better to watch the drama unfold in person." He replied, "Okay, tomorrow it is. You need to give me a clear account of the cause, process, and outcome tonight. I'll be all ears tomorrow."

Wen Qi was overwhelmed with worry. She tossed and turned in bed, just about to fall asleep, when her phone lit up. She opened it and saw a message from Xiao He: Are you asleep?

Wen Qi didn't want to talk to him, so she silenced her phone and started to drift off to sleep.

Half an hour later, Wenqi's phone lit up again, but this time, the only response was the sound of even breathing.

After returning to his room, Xiao He couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He didn't even want to brush his teeth while washing up. Finally, he lay on the bed and reflected on his feelings over the past few days. Tang Chao was right after all: apologize, take action when necessary, and sincerity is the ultimate weapon!

-

The next day, Wenqi's alarm clock rang at seven o'clock, which was unusual for her.

Because her elders were still around, Wenqi specially changed the time last night so she could have breakfast with them.

I opened my phone and saw the last message Xiao sent me at 1 a.m. last night: Goodnight.

Wen Qi smiled after reading it, then got up to brush her teeth and wash her face.

After getting ready, I ran into Xiao He, who was all smiles, as I went outside.

Seeing Wen Qi leave so early today, Xiao He couldn't help but ask, "Why are you up so early today?"

Wen Qi looked at him with an expression that said, "You have no idea," and calmly replied, "I'm having breakfast with my parents."

Xiao He chuckled at her words: "Oh, so well-behaved, hmm?"

Wen Qi turned her back to him and went straight down, ignoring his teasing.

As soon as Xiao He saw her leave, his long legs immediately caught up with her and walked alongside her, teasing her: "It's okay, you don't need to get up early anymore, sleep in a little longer, the little one is still growing."
