Chapter 45
Sun Qianyi came out after showering. Zhao Xinyu waved her over. After Qianyi sat down next to her, she began drying her hair. She loved the soft, long black hair. Because of the noise from the hairdryer, neither of them spoke. This small act of carefully drying Qianyi’s hair made her feel very good at this moment.
After her hair was dry, she turned off the hairdryer and said softly, “Go change. My clothes are already packed. You pack two outfits as well.”
Sun Qianyi turned to look at her, first nodding. Watching Xinyu tidy the hairdryer and put it in the drawer, she seized the moment when Xinyu wasn’t looking, stood up, and kissed her cheek, saying, “Okay~”
She walked happily to the walk-in closet and immediately saw Xinyu’s packed suitcase. It wasn’t closed, probably waiting for her to finish packing so they could put it together. Mhm~ I’m in a super good mood~
She was still startled by Qianyi’s sudden attack. Even though she’s often ambushed by her, it still makes her heart skip a beat momentarily.
After putting the hairdryer away, she remembered the trip they planned. The search results suggested the cinema. She found that a bit unbelievable. The last experience was… cough, cough. She should cross that off and ask someone else.
Zhao Xinyu: Lu Qing, do you know what places are good for fun or a date?
Lu Qing: You don’t even know this? The cinema, amusement parks, the underwater world, etc. Aren’t those all options?
Zhao Xinyu: Okay.
Lu Qing: Oh dear, you should go to more interesting places for a date with a goddess. Actually, I think the location isn’t the most important thing. The preparation is key. Prepare a thoughtful gift. You must have flowers. I think Omegas, whether male or female, all love flowers. Flowers and bags are very important.
Lu Qing: Of course, if you need it, make sure to wear that thing yourself.
Zhao Xinyu: …
Zhao Xinyu: A gift? What kind should I prepare?
Lu Qing: Just prepare it with sincerity. Why overthink it?
Seeing Qianyi emerge from the walk-in closet, she sent Lu Qing one last message: Thank you. I’m going to bed now!
(Lu Qing: Ask me then go to sleep? You’re lying!)
Then she put her phone on the bedside table and looked at Sun Qianyi. “Are you packed?”
“Yes~”
Sun Qianyi lifted the blanket and lay down next to Xinyi, but she didn’t scoot closer to her. Going to Xinyi’s company today and watching her interview employees made her think about what Xinyi told her that day.
Xinyi is truly outstanding, serious yet caring during the employee interviews. She feels like she’s starting to admire Xinyu instead of just treating her like a sister.
She knows she hasn’t fully let go. Her clinginess to Xinyu is driven by a desire for them to get closer, but the effect is there but not obvious. It seems she’s using the wrong approach. She can’t think of another way right now.
Cai Luo told her what Xinyu said to her. Xinyu has been trying to help her in her own way, while she is unable to help in return.
They are moving to a new place tomorrow. It will be a small change for both of them.
“Xinyu~”
“Mhm.”
“I really like it when you hug me first~”
Because Qianyi didn’t move closer to her, she was reviewing the day’s events, wondering if she said something wrong or did something wrong.
Every time she seeks advice from Lu Qing, she’s not entirely serious, but sometimes it is very helpful. For example, remembering things. Sometimes she speaks or acts without thinking. This can sometimes lead to misunderstandings, and she doesn’t want to make Qianyi unhappy because of it.
Thinking, thinking, she heard Qianyi call her name. Then the phrase “I really like it when you hug me first” instantly touched her heart. She thought her heart must have moved at that moment. The fluctuation wasn’t huge, but it resonated with her brain and entire body.
“Is that so?” She moved closer and pulled Qianyi into her embrace, whispering in her ear.
“Mhm~”
She’s so sensitive. Her red ears are very pretty. She appreciates this.
“Qianyi~”
“I’m here.”
Zhao Xinyu smiled softly, lifted her chin so she could look at her, kissed the corner of her lips, and then said, “And is it true that you like this too?”
She looked at Qianyi, whose eyes and face were full of affection. She gently stroked her face and hummed, “Mhm.” She seemed to be encouraging her, stroking Sun Qianyi’s lips.
The tea pheromones and warm sun pheromones had drifted out and mingled. They were very close. Because she had just showered, the blush on Qianyi’s cheeks had disappeared, but now it reappeared. She cupped Qianyi’s chin, lifting it slightly, and kissed those sweet, soft lips.
Gently licking her soft lips, their mouths intertwined. Their kiss was deep and passionate. The tea scent and warm sun pheromones grew stronger.
Soft hums and sighs were the sweetest sounds of the night. The intertwined tea and warm sun pheromones were the best scents of the night.
The next morning, Zhao Xinyu tidied up, ate breakfast, and took the suitcase to the new apartment before going to work. In the morning, she checked on the recruited artists. Three singers and two actors were confirmed so far. She no longer planned to participate in the interviews today. When Qin Langning came over, she instructed her to let the agent, HR department, and all department teachers make the decisions on recruitment.
For singers, her maximum limit is 10 people, unless there’s an exception.
For actors, the maximum limit is unlimited. Good actors are hard to find. Over the past day, many people came to audition, but only two were selected.
The company employees also saw how she recruits, and with Qin Langning supervising, no bad actors will be hired.
At 10:57 AM, the editing department finished editing the movie. She and Liu Wei went to the editing department to review it. The effect of this newly edited version was much better than before. She has a lot of confidence in the movie’s release.
After watching the movie, she stood up, looked at the employees gathered around her and those still working, and said, “The movie is well-edited. I’ll treat everyone to a good meal tonight, and you all get tomorrow off.”
“Hooray~”
“That’s fantastic! Ms. Zhao, you are truly a god-tier boss.”
…
Zhao Xinyu felt a little shy hearing their comments, but she maintained her composure, saying seriously, “If the movie’s release meets my expectations, the entire editing department will be promoted to permanent staff early!”
“Wow! That’s awesome.”
“Yes! I believe the movie we edited will definitely be successful.”
“Agreed. We put a lot of heart into editing this movie.”
…
After lunch, Zhao Xinyu went to a jewelry store. Although Sun Qian was not a great person and was very manipulative, she was still Qianyi’s family. Just for that relationship, she had to prepare a decent and substantial wedding gift.
The jewelry store belonged to Lu Qing’s family. As soon as she walked in, the sales associate recognized her. “Miss Zhao, what jewelry would you like to see this time?”
Lu Qing’s company is in Haishi. This store is just a branch of her jewelry store. Haishi is located in the westernmost part of the country, near the sea, and has several mines. Every time her family released new products, Lu Qing would bring her to see them.
Every time she visits the store, they ask directly about the seasonal new arrivals. She just needs to tell them what style she likes. She said directly, “Do you have any new jewelry sets recently?”
“Yes, Miss Zhao. This season, we launched a colored jewelry set, a necklace and earrings.”
“How many sets of this one were made?”
“Three sets, Miss Zhao. Actually, Miss Lu had someone send this set to the store, and it just arrived.”
“Good. Can you bring it out for me to see?” Hearing the sales associate say Miss Lu sent it, she understood. If she hadn’t come to the store today, Lu Qing would have contacted her within the next two days to see if she liked the set.
While the sales associate went to get the jewelry set, she was drawn to a ring.
A thoughtful gift for the person I like?
According to what I read online, Alphas propose to Omegas. The proposal should include a ring, flowers, and choosing a specific place to give the ring to the Omega while declaring the Alpha’s feelings.
The sales associate placed the jewelry set on the counter. Seeing Miss Zhao’s focused gaze on the ring, has she found someone she likes? she wondered with a smile. “Miss Zhao, this ring is also a new seasonal product~ Its name is ‘Purple Charm’. It symbolizes ‘I love you,’ caring, and protection. It’s excellent for proposals or as a wedding ring. The band of this ring is adjustable, so you don’t need to worry about sizing.”
She already liked the ring just by looking at it. Hearing the sales associate’s explanation, she thought it was perfect for a proposal. “Please wrap this up for me.”
“Yes, Miss Zhao. Please take a look at this colored jewelry set to see if you like it.”
“Okay~” She looked at the colored jewelry set. The diamonds were all colored, set in pure gold. It was indeed beautiful, but a little too flashy, and the gold looked a bit tacky. There were many colored diamonds, which is why only three sets were made. It’s rare, so it would be a very substantial wedding gift, but I feel like it’s a bit of a trick gift to give away~
“Wrap it up. Tell your boss that I’ve already seen the jewelry, so she doesn’t need to come looking for me.”
“Yes, Miss Zhao. Please wait a moment.”
She instructed Qin Langning to handle the dinner arrangements for the editing department and that she wouldn’t be returning to the company for the rest of the afternoon.
Leaving the jewelry store, she sat in the car, thought for a moment, and then drove to the new apartment. After placing the jewelry set in the bedroom, she hid the ring in her study. Sun Qianyi doesn’t go into her study much, so it should be safe there. She then changed the password on the door lock and messaged Sun Qianyi with the new code.
Wife: Are you at the new apartment now?
Zhao Xinyu: Yes. Are you at home or the studio?
Wife: I’m at home. I see my luggage is gone. Did you take it over? I’m driving over now.
Zhao Xinyu: I took it here. Drive slowly. I’ll wait for you here.
Sun Qianyi: Okay~
While Sun Qianyi was on her way, she took another look around the apartment. The kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, etc. All the supplies needed to be purchased. She categorized and listed the items to be purchased by area. Once Sun Qianyi arrived, they could go shopping immediately. Looking at the list she compiled, she was pleased.
After more than two hours, Sun Qianyi arrived at the new apartment. Walking in, she saw Xinyu tidying things up. Is she working? “What are you doing?”
“A list. Of things we need to buy,” Zhao Xinyu answered seriously.
…
Things to buy? Are there that many? She saw many pieces of paper in Xinyu’s hand. “Should we go now?”
Zhao Xinyu looked at her. Her walking seemed a little awkward. Is she still uncomfortable? “You rushed here, so you probably didn’t nap. Should we rest for a bit and then go?”
“It’s okay. I, I slept enough this morning.”
…
“Good. We’ll go now.”
