A pampered young lady from a prestigious family, pampered by her childhood sweetheart, a CEO.

The inauguration ceremony was more than halfway over when Luo Yunqi sent a message to Chen Li. Immediately afterwards, a group of people went up to the second floor, and he handed over all the matters in the hall to the deputy general manager of Luo's Group.

"CEO, several directors want to see you."

"Ok?"

"It's probably because you suddenly said you would give all the shares to Miss Xu that they had some objections."

Assistant Fang Ming bent down beside him and whispered something, then stepped aside to wait for him to give orders.

"Then let them wait. The Luo family is, after all, surnamed Luo."

"Yes, President."

At just over twenty years old, he possessed incredibly handsome features. When he took off his suit, he exuded the dashing and unruly charm of a young man; when he put on a suit, he transformed into the heir apparent of the Luo family, displaying the extraordinary demeanor of a CEO, with every gesture exuding nobility and elegance.

Fang Ming pushed open the door, and the room was full of people.

Luo Yunqi strode in, took off his suit jacket, revealing a white shirt underneath, his muscles faintly visible. As soon as he entered, Fang Ming closed the door.

“Yaoyao…”

Once inside, all I could see was Xu Shuli.

Chen Li was the first to complain, "President Luo! Could you spare a little attention for us? We've been here for so long, and you call us 'Yaoyao' as soon as you walk in. We're going to be very upset."

Lin Ran twirled the lighter in his hand with a nonchalant air, "Even if you didn't do anything special, you still put in the effort. I came to help you first thing in the morning, and what? Not even a thank you?"

Even Wen Qing and Gu Baisheng, who were just watching the drama unfold, nodded in strong agreement.

Luo Yunqi ignored their teasing and wanted to sit down next to Xu Shuli, but Xu Qiluo was sitting next to her, so he could only sit on the armrest of the sofa with a wronged look on his face.

"Have fun tonight, I'll cover all the expenses."

"that's it?"

Chen Li clicked his tongue a few times, "Those cufflinks on your shirt cost over 500,000, CEO Luo."

Chen Li's two remarks about CEO Luo were enough to make several people laugh, and they all chimed in with their own comments.

"I never expected that among us, the one who would inherit the company the fastest would be our heir."

Gu Baisheng sighed, while Xu Shuli guessed why he had taken over the company so quickly, and the string that had been troubling her for so long loosened up a lot.

"Luo Fox, you just said you'd give 80% of Luo's shares to your sweetheart. So who exactly is your sweetheart?"

Xu Qiluo took a sip of whiskey; it wasn't spicy, but it made her throat feel a little itchy.

Knowing full well the answer yet, and harboring a certain desire to see her make a fool of herself, Xu Qiluo poured Xu Shuli a cup of wine.

"Sis, this tastes pretty good, it's not spicy, you should like it."

Everyone was intrigued by Xu Qiluo's question, which he pretended not to know, even though they clearly knew the answer.

"Yes, yes, who is your sweetheart? And who is your fiancée?"

"Luo Yunqi, how can you be so immoral? You didn't even tell us this."

A teasing, ambiguous gaze swept over the two of them. To calm her excitement, Xu Shuli drank several glasses of fruit wine in succession.

"Yaoyao, drink less. Although it's fruit wine, it's still quite strong. I'm afraid it will give you a headache."

Luo Yunqi was determined to win her back. He was one person in front of outsiders, but a completely different person in front of them. Chen Li couldn't help but shake his head, exclaiming how big the contrast was.

"The person I like, you all know her. She is beautiful, sensible, well-behaved and gentle. She is good at painting and playing the guzheng. She is proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The key is that she has a beautiful smile and speaks gently, yet firmly and powerfully."

The group of people were speechless.

Wen Qing's lips twitched speechlessly. "What he said was so cheesy, it gave me goosebumps all over."

Gu Baisheng, wanting to avoid the trouble, said, "Get out of here, all of you."

Xu Shuli remained silent, but that didn't mean she couldn't feel the familiar scent emanating from beside her, and the gentle yet intense gaze that always lingered on her.

The group chatted for a few more minutes. Xu Qilu had suffered too many blows that night. His phone on the table vibrated a few times. It was a message from Zhu Yu.

The gist of it was that he had skipped class again, and she was very angry. She figured he would be punished by having to write a self-criticism again. It wasn't much, only 500 words, but it could plunge a boy who hadn't written much since graduating from high school into despair.

"Sis, I have something to do, so I have to go now. Let me know when you're done, or tell the driver to come pick you up."

Zhu Yu was urging her on so urgently that she excitedly sent over a dozen emojis in a row and even patted him several times.

"I know, you have things to do, go ahead and do them. Don't worry about me, I have them with me. Be careful on the road."

Xu Qiluo quickly stood up, casually picked up her suit jacket and draped it over her wrist as she passed by Luo Yunqi.

He stopped. "I'll ask you to bring my sister back later, but remember, if my sister is missing even a single hair, I'll pluck all your hair out."

Luo Yunqi's eyes lit up again and again.

Even Xu Shuli understood the implication in his words, and remained silent, watching Xu Qiluo leave.

Having probably drunk too much alcohol the night before, Wen Qing felt the urge to use the restroom and pulled Xu Shuli to accompany her.

As soon as the two girls went out, Fang Ming followed them, keeping a safe distance to ensure their safety without making them feel awkward.

"What you just said is all true? You gave it all to Yaoyao?"

As soon as Xu Qiluo left, the sofa became more spacious, so he sat down and rested his hands on it naturally.

"When have I ever lied to Yao Yao?"

"Your grandfather doesn't object?"

It's no wonder Chen Li and Gu Baisheng were puzzled. It's one thing for Old Master Luo to dote on Yao Yao, but they were also afraid that the old man would resent it if he gave all the family fortune he had worked so hard to build over the decades to a girl.

"Hmm." Luo Yunqi picked up the apple on the table, took the fruit knife, and peeled it clean bit by bit. "They all know, they all agreed."

The long apple peel slid off with the apple, revealing a tempting, fragrant apple. "My grandpa even thought it wasn't enough."

Without mentioning his parents at all, the others roughly understood why, and they cooperated tacitly by not bringing up his parents.

Wen Qing returned with Xu Shuli. As soon as they sat down, Luo Yunqi handed her a peeled apple.

"You haven't eaten much. Have an apple to tide you over. I've already arranged it; it's all your favorite food."

His fingers were long and slender, with distinct knuckles, and the veins on them rose and fell with the movement of his chest.

"I see."

Xu Shuli took the apple from his hand and took small bites. She used to dislike apples, thinking they had no taste and were particularly unpalatable. Later, when she caught a cold, her father fed her medicine while her younger brother held the apple and said in a childish voice, "Eat more apples and the doctors will stay away from me."

Now he's not so resistant to apples anymore, and after eating them for a while, he even finds them quite delicious. The four people opposite him are almost driven crazy by his reaction.

Lin Ran sneered, "In all the years I've known you, I don't think I've ever eaten any fruit that you peeled yourself, not even an orange."

"..."

"I don't think I have any..."

"Neither did we."

Suddenly, dozens of pairs of eyes were drawn to him. Luo Yunqi awkwardly touched the tip of his nose. "Do you think I'm that good? I just wanted to show off in front of Yao Yao."

Xu Shuli was amused, and her previous worries vanished with her laughter. She swallowed the apple she was biting into, and when she turned around, Luo Yunqi was looking at her with a gentle smile.

"Yaoyao, you smiled! You look even more beautiful when you smile."
