Song Luokui got up and went directly to Chi Yu's side, immediately giving him a princess-carry and lifting her up. "Why aren't you wearing shoes?" Although the floor was carpeted, he was worried her feet would get cold.
Song Luokui looked down at her feet, "I forgot."
Chi Yu carried her to the sofa and sat down, fetching a pair of slippers from the room for her to wear. "If you're hungry, go downstairs to eat or have someone bring food up. I have some things to take care of right now, but I'll join you in a bit, okay?"
Song Luokui waved her hand dismissively, "You're busy."
She first returned to her room to take a shower, then went downstairs to eat. After finishing her meal, she brought another portion upstairs to Chi Yu's room and sat beside him.
She didn't say anything, just listening as Chi Yu arranged some company matters.
In the middle, Chi Yu paused and looked over at her. Song Luokui pointed to the plate of delicious food, using a fork to spear a piece and holding it to Chi Yu's mouth.
Chi Yu opened his mouth to eat it, then continued looking at the PowerPoint presentation on his computer.
After Chi Yu finished eating, Song Luokui fed him another bite, intermittently feeding him until the entire plate was empty.
Song Luokui sat beside him, replying to some company matters on her phone. When she finished replying, Chi Yu's meeting was also about to end.
She heard Chi Yu say "Meeting adjourned" before leaning over to him, "Work's over?"
On Chi Yu's end, his headset was still on, so the people on the other side heard a girl's voice and immediately perked up their gossip-hungry ears.
It was morning on the boss's side, yet there was a girl's voice. Just who was this celestial being beside the boss so early? Did something happen last night...? And wasn't the boss on vacation abroad? Everyone wanted to listen further and see if they could make out anything, but the boss had already turned off his headset.
Over there, Chi Yu quickly turned off his headset. "Yeah, it's over." He closed his laptop, got up, and left the room with Song Luokui.
On the other side of the meeting room, everyone saw the boss had exited the meeting, so they also exited, though still curious to gossip.
Only Chen Nan looked completely unfazed - that voice was clearly the Song family's younger sister. The big boss is impressive!
Since it was raining and not good to go out, there were plenty of things to do in the villa - an indoor swimming pool, KTV room, movie theater, mahjong room, video game room, even a gym and dance studio!
In the movie theater, Song Luokui browsed the recently released films to see if there were any interesting ones. Most were foreign, with only a few domestic options.
Song Luokui selected what looked like a rather funny movie and started playing it.
Beside her, Chi Yu handed her a tub of popcorn made by the chef. Song Luokui took it, eating while asking Chi Yu, "Have you seen this one before? Is it good?"
Chi Yu: "No."
Song Luokui: "Then we can watch it together."
"Okay."
The movie soon started playing. It was indeed quite funny, and Song Luokui leaned against Chi Yu's embrace, laughing. But then it suddenly became emotional, with the male and female leads kissing. Song Luokui felt a bit awkward and looked up at Chi Yu, who happened to be looking at her.
Song Luokui jolted and immediately covered his eyes. "Don't look!" Heavens know that when she entered the bathroom today, she saw her lips were swollen, and not only that - there was even a hickey on her collarbone.
She had previously believed in his character, but now... this was a slap in the face.
Chi Yu allowed her to cover his eyes, but he could still hear the audio. After a while, he said, "That scene is over, can I look now?"
Song Luokui turned to see the movie had returned to being funny, so she released her hands from covering his eyes.
"Ahem, you can look."
Chi Yu took her hand. "Alright. Cover my eyes again if another scene like that comes up."
Song Luokui: ...
It was past 4 PM when the rain stopped and the sun actually came out.
Chi Yu pulled Song Luokui out onto the balcony. "Shall we go out to watch the sunset later?"
Song Luokui breathed in the fresh, post-rain air and saw the distant sea surface sparkling under the sun's rays. She nodded, "Let's go now! Doesn't the beach have lots of things after the rain?"
Chi Yu: "Probably."
Song Luokui changed her clothes, grabbed a small bucket, and quickly ran out to the beach with Chi Yu.
There really were many things here. During lunch, she had heard the maid say they could catch large seafood on the beach in the morning.
Lobsters, sea urchins, jellyfish, crabs, overturned baby turtles, seashells - you name it, it was all there.
In no time, the small bucket was filled with various sea creatures.
In the distance, the sun was slowly setting towards the sea. Chi Yu set up his camera, quickly running over to put his arm around Song Luokui's shoulders. Song Luokui raised her hand in a scissors gesture. "Click!"
Chi Yu returned to the camera, adjusting the settings again. They took several photos like this.
They continued until the sun slowly sank below the horizon, sitting side-by-side on the beach to watch this beautiful scene.
Even after the sun had set and the evening grew a bit chilly, Chi Yu didn't bring Song Luokui back to the villa until later.
For dinner, they ate the seafood they had caught in the bucket earlier. Of course, the chef also prepared other dishes, even bringing up a bottle of red wine from the cellar. However, Song Luokui dared not drink anymore, lest Chi Yu take advantage of her without her knowing.
The next day, the weather was fantastic. Chi Yu took a convertible sports car from the underground garage. Song Luokui, wearing a beautiful dress, got in the car and waved her hand. "Let's go!"
The car sped along the coastal road. Song Luokui turned to admire the seaside scenery, feeling this place was truly beautiful.
They passed through a forest and into the city, arriving at a famous large mall nearby. The mall was quite crowded today.
Holding hands, the two browsed around. Song Luokui wanted to buy gifts for her family, so she went into one store and bought a bunch of things, having them directly shipped back home.
Chi Yu simply followed beside her, not complaining about being tired. When it came time to pay, he handed over his card directly.
After buying gifts for everyone, she looked over Chi Yu beside her and entered a men's clothing store. She picked out a tie for him to try on, then selected two outfits. "Even though you seem to always wear custom-made clothes, I want to buy these for you today. Do me this favor and wear them at least once."
Chi Yu: "I'll wear them often."
Song Luokui: "No need for that, I know what you wear to work."
Chi Yu: "Then I'll wear them on dates."
Song Luokui looked at him. "You're quite the charmer." Then she handed the items to a staff member. "Please wrap these up for me."
Chi Yu tried to hand over his card again, but Song Luokui refused. "It's a gift from me, I'll pay for it myself."
Chi Yu put his card away, clearly delighted. "Okay~"
Afterwards, she went to other stores, buying shoes, cufflinks, watches, and more for Chi Yu. She returned with a day's worth of shopping.
The next day, Chi Yu had her accompany him to a private gala event hosted by a famous jewelry brand. In the morning, she began preparations - a spa massage, various skincare treatments, hair styling, putting on a custom gown, accessorizing with the brand's jewelry pieces, and finally, slipping into crystal high heels. She looped her arm through Chi Yu's as they headed out.
