We came to a well-known boutique clothing store.

On a weekday afternoon, we became the only customers in the store, and the shopping guide greeted us with a bright smile: "Hello, both of you, how can I help you?"

Li Hua took my hand and said, "Buy her an evening dress."

"Okay, please come with me."

We were taken to the second floor by the shopping guide, and I was dizzy seeing all kinds of evening dresses.

Seeing that I was at a loss, the shopping guide took the initiative to pick up a long black dress, and introduced: "This is the new season of the D family..."

"Too ordinary." Li Hua directly vetoed her without waiting for her to continue.

The shopping guide changed into a red low-cut dress: "This is the C family's catwalk style this year..."

Li Hua frowned slightly: "Too much exposure."

The shopping guide made persistent efforts and picked up a purple dress: "This is the G family..."

"Too old-fashioned."

In my heart, I shed tears of sympathy for the smiling shopping guide lady.Li Hua is usually amiable, but at this time he is as arbitrary as a domineering president.

His gaze was fixed on a water-blue dress displayed alone in the crystal window: "Give her a try on this one."

The shopping guide showed a mysterious smile: "Sir, this is a limited edition of the V family. It is the only one in Asia, so you can't try it on, you can only buy it. We will have a professional designer to tailor the size for the buyer. Satisfied."

What overlord clause... I was cursing, Li Hua had already taken out his black card: "I want this one, give her a try."

The shopping guide and I were both stunned.

It is rare for the shopping guide to see such a cheerful and proud customer. When he came back to his senses, he took the black card with bright eyes and quoted a price.

I was startled awake immediately, and tugged at the corner of Li Hua's clothes: "It's better to buy something you can try on, I haven't tried it, what if it doesn't look good?"

"It must look good." Li Hua smiled gently at me, completely lacking the domineering president's aura just now, and the shopping guide lady who was swiping the card by the side was stunned.

I was defeated by the local tyrant, and I resignedly took the dress that another clerk took out from the window and went into the dressing room.

The dress fit my figure perfectly, and Li Hua's eyes said everything.

He put on a formal suit, a white shirt and a black suit set him off in high spirits, and his short uncut hair was a bit casual.

He was so handsome that he had to stop and take a look for a few moments, and the two shopping guides next to him were fascinated by it.

He slowly walked in front of me and stretched out his hand: "Come."

I was led by him to sit on the chaise longue, he squatted in front of me, carefully took off my shoes, and put on a pair of high heels studded with rhinestones for me.

The crystal lamp dazzled my eyes, and the surroundings turned into a gorgeous castle, and I was Cinderella who turned into a princess because of a pair of crystal slippers.

He helped me walk to the mirror. In the mirror, we looked like a pair of lovers with peach blossoms on our faces.I watched in a daze, and for a moment felt like I was trying on a wedding dress.

"I'll go buy some jewelry in a while." His fingers slid along my neck to the collarbone, his vague touch was like a feather, gently plucking my heartstrings.

"No, just wear the diamond necklace you gave me last time. I don't usually have a chance to wear it."

"Okay, it's up to you."

"Is the heel too low? Can I change to a higher pair?" Li Hua chose mid-heel shoes for me about five centimeters, which was already a challenge for me who seldom wear high heels. In front of him, I still hope that I am taller and more commensurate with him.

"No need," he said, leaning over naturally, and pressed a kiss on my forehead, "just right."

The two shopping guides secretly laughed behind me. I was extremely ashamed, blushing and turned my head away to look at the shoes displayed on the other side.

I took my fancy on a pair of gradient silver high-heeled shoes. The heel of about eight centimeters made me daunted, but imagining myself wearing them standing next to Li Hua, I gritted my teeth and said, "I want to try this pair."

"Miss is really discerning. This is J's [-]th anniversary commemorative model. Now there is only this pair in the store. I don't have your size. You can leave your contact information and we will transfer the goods from Europe for you."

"No need, I have to wear it to the dance the day after tomorrow, so I can't make it." I said regretfully.

"It doesn't matter, please adjust the goods," Li Hua said, "There will always be occasions to wear them in the future, otherwise I will save them for weddings."

Once again he managed to make me blush.

On the night of the dance, when I walked into the banquet hall wearing a water-blue dress and holding Li Hua on my arm, I was shocked by the grand scene.

The last Christmas ball was an eye-opener, and this time it was even more breathtaking. Looking around, there were regulars from the financial and current affairs editions, as well as noble and dignified ladies.

The self-confidence wrapped in Chinese clothes was instantly crushed.

As soon as she turned around, she bumped into an acquaintance, and Du Yunqian walked into the banquet hall with Du Sichen on her arm. The delicate pink dress brought out all her youth and beauty.

"Ruoqi!" I was overjoyed, and she also rushed towards me as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

Du Sichen was still following behind me, I barely maintained my demeanor and greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Du."

"Miss Fang, long time no see. Thank you for taking care of my sister." Du Sichen was still handsome.

After Li Hua exchanged a few words with him, he led me into the dance floor.

Because it was a charity ball, an auction session was set up, and the celebrities present were very supportive, and the scene was lively.

Li Hua kept watching from the sidelines, without even offering a symbolic price to go along with it, so I couldn't help being curious: "Aren't you going to shoot?"

He shrugged, meaning unclear.

I wanted to ask again, and there was a new lot on the stage. The master of ceremonies introduced: "Today's sixth lot is this sapphire necklace named 'Splendid Dream'."

Under the illumination of countless lights, the gemstone necklaces in the crystal display cabinet were shining brightly, and all the ladies at the scene were yearning for it.

The master of ceremonies introduced the necklace: "The starting price is 300 million, please bid!"

"350 million!"

"400 million!"

"480 million!"

Although the previous auctions were very attractive, this round of men worked harder to please their female companions, and the prices rose rapidly at an alarming rate.

"800 million!"

"1000 million!"

In the blink of an eye, it reached tens of millions, breaking the highest transaction record tonight, and the emcee became even more enthusiastic: "1000 million! Is there any price increase?"

"500 million."

The clear voice cut through the hustle and bustle, like a meteorite falling to the earth, after a second of silence, it aroused a huge roar.

The man beside him who kept a low profile all night became a blockbuster.

Exclamations and discussions were intertwined, and everyone's eyes were cast in our direction. I stood where I was, my mind was buzzing, and I didn't dare to move.

"500 million, is there anyone to raise the price?" The emcee was making the final confirmation, "500 million for the first time! 500 million for the second time! 500 million for the third time! Deal! Congratulations to this gentleman I won the auction of 'Splendid Dream', please come to the stage to confirm your auction."

Everyone applauded and consciously moved out of the way. Li Hua took my hand and led me onto the stage.

I've held book signings and given speeches at colleges, but never before have I been dizzy with tension, facing a feasting banquet hall and countless pairs of eyes.

I can't lose face, I told myself in my heart, absolutely can't lose face to Li Hua.

"Sir, what's your name?"

"My surname is Ou."

"Mr. Ou, why did you take this necklace?"

"Because, the name of this necklace is 'Splendid Dream'," Li Hua paused, took off my diamond necklace and stuffed it into his pocket, and put this priceless sapphire necklace on my neck, "embedded my daughter's Friend's name."

Li Hua's romance made me the focus of the audience. I tried my best to maintain the most perfect smile while the sky was spinning.
