Only then did she find out that he had sent the gift box. Come to think of it, although Qin Zhiyou had also supplied her with the necessary clothes and shoes for the Qin Family mansion, they were all directly placed in the closet for her to wear whenever she needed to.
This time, having a courier deliver to the office, complete with packaging and a sudden surprise, was definitely a first.
Xiaochen and Xiaoqian were clamoring to open it, their excited voices rising and ebbing in waves. She nodded nonchalantly and replied on her phone: “Received.”
On this end, Xiaochen and Xiaoqian opened the box, and it indeed contained a beautiful long dress. It was white with an irregularly cut hem and adorned with pearl lace, very eye-catching. There was also a greeting card inside, sprinkled with perfume, the fragrance hitting her nostrils. It seemed to contain a message, which was immediately picked up by the eager onlookers.
A message came in from Qin Zhiyou on the other end: “How have you considered my proposal this morning?”
So it was for the inaugural voyage she was going to attend. Lu Weixi had typed “Alright, I accept” and was about to send it, when Xiaochen began reading the greeting card out loud: “May you become more beautiful with each wear, MIS Liu…”
She stopped abruptly at this point.
Total silence ensued.
The entire office was so quiet that the sound of a pin drop could be heard.
Lu Weixi deleted the drafted message one character at a time, extended her hand indifferently: “Let me see.”
Immediately, Xiaochen handed her the card as if it were a ticking bomb. Then, everybody scattered: those who were doing drawings, interacting with clients, or going to the restroom, all scattered, as if they were avoiding the blast radius.
Lu Weixi took the card and squinted her eyes to read it. Hmm, no mistake, it indeed read “Liu”, and even written in cursive. She remembered what she overheard at the SPA last night, Liu Yiyi mentioned that Qin Zhiyou was taking her on the inaugural voyage of Hanhai and had prepared a dress for her.
Maybe Qin Zhiyou decided later that it would be inconvenient for Liu Yiyi to attend such an important event, after all, she, Lu Weixi, was openly recognized as Mrs. Qin. However doting a man might be towards his mistress, he couldn’t put her on display at such a large-scale event. Therefore, he replaced Liu Yiyi’s place with his own.
However, although the person and address changed, the gift did not. This gift box, this dress, and that ticket, shouldn’t have belonged to her or even be here.
Seeing Qin Zhiyou’s message saying “How have you considered”, she calmly replied: “The dress is beautiful, but it’s inconvenient for me.”
After sending the message, she exited WeChat.
She really needed that ticket, and she was pleased that Qin Zhiyou agreed to give it to her. But she, Lu Weixi, was not someone who picks up other people’s leftovers. If what others discarded was then given to her, sorry, but she would not accept!
Even if she couldn’t get on that ship, she would never compromise, nor would she substitute for Liu Yiyi’s position, standing by his side.
She put her phone in her pocket, not angry or upset, just glanced indifferently at the box, and called Xiaochen over: “Xiaochen.”
Xiaochen approached with a worried face and admitted her mistake in a low voice: “Lu, it’s all my fault.”
She was too anxious, causing such a huge misunderstanding and making Lu lose face.
Lu Weixi didn’t blame her, waved her hand dismissively, and spoke directly: “Clean up the stuff and throw it in the trash. Then get back to work..”
