one

When they arrived at the dress shop, it was only 2:00 PM, and there were still five hours until the start of the evening party

Gently touching the white dress held by the salesperson, she gritted her teeth over the weekend and ultimately decided to purchase it

This is her first time alone with Xue Sheng, and feeling uncomfortable, she placed her hands behind her back, politely yet stubbornly declined: "Mr. Xue, you are truly too kind, but I really cannot accept the gown. I will buy one myself. Therefore, even if you insist on giving it to me, I will not wear it to the banquet."

She lowered her head to look at herself, feeling troubled: "But... don't we need to wear formal dresses for the evening party? I don't have such a thing as a formal dress."

"What do you think of this one?" Lu Xiao ran to the clothes rack, bent down, examined it closely, and took out a beautifully designed backless evening gown. "Violet! It suits you very well. Would you like to try it on?"

Ah? You are just leaving me...

Xue Sheng seemed to discern her thoughts, and with a slight smile, handed the dress to the waiting sales assistant, saying: "Wrap it up, please, as a gift for this young lady"

"Um..." Lu Xiao pretended to think, then waved her hand and said cheerfully, "I'll pass for now, I haven't found anyone I like yet. You two can chat first, I'll go to the restroom for a moment"

Since Miss Zhou has said so, I will no longer impose. I still need to check on the arrangements for the evening party, so I will take my leave first. Xu Shengjun's handsome face bore a hint of a smile, "Looking forward to seeing you tonight"

"So you mean that if we meet a few more times, you will accept it, right?" Xue Sheng found her flustered demeanor amusing, so he had a mischievous thought and deliberately asked her this.

Xue Shengwei curved the corners of his lips and politely responded, "Which one does Miss Lu like? Let's send it together"

Before I could react over the weekend, Lu Xiao's figure had already disappeared around the corner not far away

As soon as the bathroom door closed, Lu Xiaosong let out a sigh: "Ah, finally done!"

However, on the weekend, feeling soft-hearted, she was not someone who could withstand such earnest pleas from others. She pursed her lips, looked at Lu Xiao again and again, and finally, with a sense of resignation, nodded and said, "Alright, I will go with you."

On the weekend, she was momentarily taken aback. Following the hands holding the gown upwards, she saw Xue Sheng standing before them in a perfectly tailored suit. His eyes, like jade, concealed a gentle light, and his face bore a warm smile as he politely greeted them: "Miss Lu, Miss Zhou, we meet again."

Weekend! Weekend! Hurry up! Do you have time tonight?

"Why is it so boring? It could be interesting!" Lu Xiao racked her brains thinking about the benefits of the banquet, "There are so many cakes and desserts, at least two large buffet tables, and..." Seeing that Zhou Mo still seemed uninterested, she simply took Zhou Mo's hand and shook it, saying pitifully, "Zhou Mo, just accompany me! It would be even more boring if I went alone."

Alright, alright, let us continue selecting the dresses, there is not much time left

Lu Xiao is like a lively treasure. Although Zhou Weekend knows she is just putting on an act, she still finds it hard to refuse. However, just from the words "Xue Family" and "30th Anniversary," Zhou Weekend realizes that the scale of this event will not be small. She has never attended any banquets growing up, and if she goes, she will definitely feel out of place. After thinking it over, she shakes her head and resolutely declines: "Maybe it's better to pass. It wouldn't be meaningful for me to go there."

The weekend always reveals its unique persistence in certain aspects, and in the past, it has been described as rigid by those who do not understand it

"That makes sense," Lu Xiaoshuang said readily as she gave up and picked up another one. "What about this wine red one? You look so slim on the weekend; this conservative style would suit you well. And what about this yellow one? Which one do you prefer?"

On the weekend, holding a headset in hand, I saw Lu Xiaofeng burst into the dormitory door with great enthusiasm, looking bewildered as he replied: "There is indeed..."

"How could that be! I won't disturb, I won't disturb." Lu Xiao smiled brightly as she took the white dress recommended by Xue Sheng, excitedly saying to Zhou Weekend: "Weekend, you must take a look! This dress is truly perfect for your temperament!"

Ah, I misspoke

Is it necessary to be so sneaky when making a phone call

"Look, I am just a little girl, unfamiliar with this place..." Lu Xiao feigned pity and casually pulled out two tissues from the box, wiping away nonexistent tears. "If I go alone, you will definitely be worried about me, so why not accompany me instead."

The boldness of burgundy, the charm of yellow. She did not wish to wear such bright colors on the weekend, as she was merely accompanying someone. Turning her head slightly, she was feeling somewhat hesitant when suddenly a steady voice interjected into the conversation, and a refreshing white caught her eye: "Miss Zhou, why not try this white dress? It suits you very well."

Xue Sheng's voice is deep, his manner of speaking is warm and generous, exuding an irresistible charm

Xue Sheng is not a man who is easily forgotten, and of course, Zhou Mo still remembers him on the weekend. She placed the invitation back in front of Lu Xiao, puzzled and confused: "So, when you asked me if I was free tonight, what did you mean? Do you want me to help you keep an eye on the snacks in the dormitory to prevent them from being stolen?"

The afternoon sunlight gently bathes the fountain square in front of the shopping mall, with the clear water surface reflecting a dazzling array of colors

The dress recommended by Xue Sheng is a pure white and elegant gown, adorned at the right shoulder with a budding lily flower. From the chest to the abdomen, a segment of straight upward branches and leaves is embroidered in off-white thread, subtly shimmering with a hint of gold under the lights. The overall appearance is neither overly plain nor ostentatious, making it truly suitable for a quiet and composed weekend.

"I happened to pass by and saw you all. I thought that I didn't have the time to properly host you last time, so I came in to say hello." Xue Shengwei lowered his head, glanced at the gown in his hands, and smiled, "I just heard you all expressing your concerns earlier, so I took the liberty of offering my opinion. I hope I didn't disturb you all"

The weekend had not yet allowed for careful contemplation when Lu Xiao hurriedly pulled her by the hand and rushed out of the corridor. She could only helplessly say: "Slow down, the gown won't run away..."

However, she is not very interested in business or companies, so she did not react much upon hearing this.

"Oh, just leave it alone." Lu Xiao pressed her head down again

She turned around briskly, her heart filled with joy as she thought that her annoying cousin was truly fortunate to have such a clever and adorable cousin like her, a blessing earned from a past life

She had never attended such a party on the weekend, and her impression of parties was limited to the glamorous scenes presented in television dramas. She was initially worried that she would not be able to afford the price of a gown, but after looking around with Lu Xiao, she found that the prices at this gown shop were surprisingly ordinary

Xue ... ... Sheng ?

"Weekend! Why have you learned to pick on me just like my cousin!" Lu Xiao complained discontentedly

She set the headset aside and curiously asked Lu Xiao, "What happened? What is going on?"

Feeling that this was quite extravagant over the weekend, I ventured to ask: "Do we still need to buy more? The ones you had before are sufficient..."

Ah? Lu Xiao was taken aback, almost jumping up. In a flurry, he hung up the phone, chuckling awkwardly, "No, it's nothing, just, just making a phone call."

Xue Sheng turned his head to look at her, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes, seemingly filled with a hint of surprise and admiration

Fortunately, Xue Sheng did not make things too difficult for her; he merely smiled, his slender fingers adjusting the cuff of his suit, and said slowly, "There is a term called 'feeling like old friends upon first meeting.' Last time, I didn't have the opportunity to speak more with Miss Zhou, but I always feel that there is a familiar aura about her..." He smiled at this point, then changed the subject, "If I am not mistaken, you must be here to select a gown for the Xue family's 30th anniversary gala. As the host of the event, I certainly cannot allow my guests to suffer in silence."

Over the weekend, I learned a bit about the situation at the Zhao family home. Although it is not a Fortune 500 company, the firm is quite substantial, firmly belonging to the upper-middle class.

I blinked in surprise over the weekend, wondering, "What would I do in a place like that?"

She picked up the invitation and examined it; the invitation card, adorned with a silver border, had a smooth texture. It was written in a neat hand with a fountain pen, conveying the sincerity of the invitation. However, upon seeing the familiar signature at the bottom, Zhou Weekend couldn't help but be taken aback.

"The formal attire is all on me!" Lu Xiao confidently patted his chest, pushing the weekend into the bathroom, urging, "You go ahead and get ready first, and then we will go out together to choose."

He no longer insisted and decisively abandoned his proposal. He glanced at the exquisitely crafted silver watch on his wrist; it was already three o'clock in the afternoon

"Lu Xiao," she called out from behind during the weekend, feeling that Lu Xiao was acting strangely. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Indeed! Did you forget? We even attended his art exhibition last time. However, I don't think I mentioned to you that he is the future heir of Xue's e-commerce... Never mind, it's not important. " Lu Xiao said, cradling his cheeks with delight, "When we meet next time, we indeed met again.

On the weekend, feeling frustrated, she pursed her lips and stole a glance at Xue Sheng's expression, hurriedly changing her words: "Well, what I mean is, this is too valuable, and we have only met twice; I cannot accept such an expensive item"

Xiao, who was beside the road, placed his hand on Zhou Mo's shoulder, looking meaningfully at Xue Sheng, and asked with a smile, "I am also a guest at the party, why did Mr. Xue only send Zhou Mo and not me?"

Lu Xiao opened his eyes wide in surprise and said, "Mr. Xue? What are you doing here?"

Today is an even-numbered day. Originally, I was supposed to have a rehearsal with my mentor in the evening, but my mentor just informed her on QQ that "there is a last-minute matter this evening," so my weekend evening has now become free.

However, after she finished settling the bill, she stood in the hall holding the paper bag containing the dress and waited for a long time without seeing Lu Xiao return

She smiled over the weekend, but when she heard Lu Xiao mention Han Shao, she still instinctively averted her gaze and urged him, "If there's something, just say it quickly."

I finally breathed a sigh of relief as I saw him off on the weekend: "I didn't expect Mr. Xue to be such a warm-hearted person..."

This dress is exquisitely designed, and she indeed likes it for the weekend; however, upon seeing the price tag, she hesitated. If she were to purchase it, it would nearly deplete her living expenses for the month.

She was taken aback and widened her eyes in surprise over the weekend, repeatedly shaking her head to decline: "No, no, no, it's not necessary, Mr. Xue! We are not that familiar..."

She found it a bit strange and asked for directions to the restroom. As she headed in that direction, just as she stepped out of the corridor, she saw a familiar figure, with their back to her, leaning against the wall, quietly saying: "Indeed, I feel he must be interested in the weekend. You need to act quickly, otherwise..."

She did not mean it that way! Feeling frustrated over the weekend

Invitation to the 30th Anniversary Celebration of the Xue Group! Lu Xiao placed a beautifully designed invitation letter on the table, saying, "If it weren't for this invitation, I wouldn't have known that our family has a business partnership with the Xue Group!"

Hehe. Lu Xiao chuckled twice, leaned close to Zhou Mo, and hugged her arm as if afraid she would run away: "Zhou Mo, please accompany me to the party!"

On the weekend, I awkwardly looked at the almost back-revealing inverted V neckline and thought, "Isn't this a bit too revealing..."
