A Dominant CEO Plot
Indeed, as soon as the two entered the restaurant, they attracted a lot of attention, but of course, the situation described by Cheng Hui did not occur.
Both of them, whether in appearance or temperament, were too outstanding. Wen Le even heard some whispers: “Are they celebrities?”
“I don’t know, but their looks are too good…”
…
The two sat down in a corner.
After ordering, the waiter left.
Zhou Kao cleared his throat and said, “Shall we begin now?”
Wen Le didn’t react at first. “Begin what?”
Zhou Kao said, “Confessing.”
Wen Le rolled her eyes ungracefully. “Pass, I don’t really want to hear it.”
Wen Le complained silently while speaking. Is romance always a trap? Does a confession not require a sense of surprise? What’s the point of asking?
Feeling frustrated, Wen Le took a sip of water to calm herself down. She really didn’t want to talk to this person, he was so annoying.
However, Zhou Kao just chuckled softly and whispered, “Let me perform a magic trick for you.”
Wen Le raised an eyebrow and reluctantly said, “Oh, okay.”
Then she rested her chin on her hand and quietly watched Zhou Kao’s performance.
Although she agreed verbally, her posture and expression did not cooperate.
Zhou Kao just smiled as he took a red rose from the vase on the table, covered it with a napkin, and then placed his other hand on top of the napkin.
Wen Le wasn’t particularly interested at first, but her attention was drawn to Zhou Kao’s hand because it was so well-defined.
As Wen Le was distracted by tracing the contours of Zhou Kao’s hand, she suddenly saw Zhou Kao lift the white napkin, revealing a square sapphire ring in his hand.
And the rose was truly gone.
Wen Le blinked in surprise. She put down her hand and grabbed Zhou Kao’s hands to inspect them, and even looked down at the ground to make sure the rose was really gone.
Wen Le exclaimed, “Where did it go?”
Zhou Kao just smiled and said nothing.
Wen Le asked, “When did you learn this magic trick?”
Zhou Kao replied, “Not long ago, to make our dates more romantic for my girlfriend, so that certain people wouldn’t keep calling me a dog behind my back.”
Wen Le cleared her throat nervously.
Zhou Kao reached out and took Wen Le’s hand, placing the approximately ten-carat sapphire ring on her finger. He said, “I heard that the Wen family spends a lot on jewelry every year, so I figured the women of the Wen family must enjoy collecting jewelry. I wonder if this counts as hitting the mark.”
Wen Le felt as sweet as if she had just drunk a can of sugar. She extended her fair and slender fingers, examining the flawless sapphire reflecting dazzling brilliance under the lights from various angles.
Zhou Kao propped his chin on his hand, watching Wen Le with a smile in his eyes. “Do you like it?”
Wen Le nodded. “You have good taste.”
Zhou Kao pulled Wen Le’s hand towards him and kissed it gently. He said, “Being able to buy jewelry for your loved one is probably one of the proudest things for a man.”
“Wen Le, I hope from now on, I’ll be the one buying your jewelry.”
Looking into Zhou Kao’s eyes, Wen Le imagined there might be a galaxy inside, too beautiful, intoxicating her like strong liquor, causing her face to flush.
Wen Le covered her cheeks with her hands, her voice slightly airy. “Your… your confession was not bad.”
Zhou Kao smiled, about to say something, but at that moment, the waiter interrupted them with the dishes.
Zhou Kao stopped talking, and Wen Le put her hands down, adopting a serious expression. She lightly brushed her bangs aside and the 10-carat sapphire on her finger sparkled under the light. The waiter couldn’t help but glance at Wen Le’s hand before serving the dishes and leaving.
Zhou Kao could tell that Wen Le loved the ring, and he felt happy too.
After the waiter left, Wen Le cleared her throat and took out a small blue velvet box from her bag. The box was decorated with golden patterns resembling orchids.
Wen Le opened the box and pushed it to the centre of the table, revealing a men’s necklace inside.
The style was very simple, but the design was unique.
The pendant was a polygonal star, looking cool but not ostentatious, attractive and generous.
Wen Le smiled. “Zhou Kao, this is a star your girlfriend plucked for you.”
Zhou Kao chuckled and rubbed his forehead. “I actually have a girlfriend who wants to pluck stars for her boyfriend. Sigh.”
His voice was deep and cool, making Wen Le’s ears tingle uncomfortably. She rubbed her ears uneasily. “Is it not good?”
Zhou Kao said, “It’s good.”
Zhou Kao’s eyes were smiling. “The script was given by the CEO.”
Wen Le blushed at Zhou Kao’s insight into her thoughts. She cleared her throat and tried to maintain a calm appearance, but her face was getting redder.
Zhou Kao took out the necklace and held it in his hand, carefully examining it. He noticed a pattern on the back of the necklace that was the same as the orchid pattern on the lid of the box.
Zhou Kao pointed to the orchid pattern. “What does this mean?”
Wen Le took a glance and shook her head. “I don’t know. It seems like this pattern is all over my clothes.”
Zhou Kao just casually asked, and seeing Wen Le didn’t know, he didn’t ask further.
But suddenly Wen Le remembered something. “I told my dad I came today to test you, but how do I explain this ring?”
Zhou Kao said, “You can say I took the rose and the ring, and, premeditatedly, I confessed first.”
Wen Le clicked her tongue lightly. “Would it be too exaggerated to confess with a ten-carat sapphire ring?”
Zhou Kao: “…Seems a bit… Then, why don’t you hide it first and say I confessed with the rose?”
Wen Le said, “Okay.”
After dinner, with more than forty minutes before the movie started, the two went downstairs to go shopping. Saying they were shopping, it was actually Zhou Kao accompanying Wen Le to look at women’s clothing.
Wen Le linked arms with Zhou Kao. With their exceptional looks, they attracted a lot of attention wherever they went.
After looking at several shops without finding the desired clothes, Zhou Kao joked, “Why bother coming in? You’ve compared all the clothes in the whole store. Where can you find something you like?”
Wen Le casually took a piece of clothing from the rack and said, “You don’t understand, shopping is a girl’s fun.”
But as soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Kao took the clothes from her and hung them back on the rack.
Wen Le hadn’t had time to evaluate the clothes she had just taken from the rack before Zhou Kao put them back. “What are you doing?”
Saying this, Wen Le was about to take the clothes out again.
Zhou Kao said, “It doesn’t look good, it’s not suitable for you.”
Wen Le became stubborn upon hearing this. “I’m going to see what clothes I can’t wear.”
Seeing that he couldn’t stop Wen Le, Zhou Kao no longer tried to stop her. He saw Wen Le pick up a dress, low-cut and backless, and it was also super short.
Wen Le frowned. “Hmm… it’s not quite what I imagined…”
But then Wen Le laughed and compared the clothes to herself, saying, “But I seem to have never tried this style before…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Zhou Kao pulled her out and said, “Today isn’t really suitable for buying clothes. How about I buy you a bag instead? I see there’s a C-brand store ahead. Don’t you girls all like it?”
Wen Le, being pulled out of the store by Zhou Kao, was still pondering seriously. “Do you think I should change my style? I actually feel like I always dress too girly, it’s a bit monotonous.”
“What made you think of this?”
Zhou Kao pinched Wen Le’s cheek but was slapped away by Wen Le.
After calming down a bit, Zhou Kao patiently said, “Have you read romance novels?”
Wen Le nodded.
Zhou Kao said, “Are the bosses in there all about the abstinent style?”
Wen Le thought for a moment, then nodded again.
Zhou Kao continued, “Just now, you were following the dominant CEO plot, right?”
Wen Le’s eyes wandered, she didn’t say it herself.
Zhou Kao said, “So shouldn’t you continue with your abstinent style?”
Wen Le blinked, “Is it that people from your law school always sound so reasonable and logical when they talk?”
TN: As someone who’s dating a law student, I 100% agree with this!!!!!
After saying this, she couldn’t help but chuckle.
Zhou Kao also laughed at her words, tightened his grip on Wen Le’s hand, thought for a moment, and said, “Forget it, if you want to buy, just go ahead.”
Saying this, Zhou Kao pulled Wen Le to wander around the entire floor. Wen Le didn’t know what Zhou Kao was looking for. Zhou Kao stopped at a nearby women’s lingerie store, then coughed lightly, feeling a bit embarrassed, turned away from the store, facing Wen Le, and said, “You want to change your style, right? Want something sexy? Go ahead, get the sexiest set they have inside.”
Wen Le widened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Zhou Kao.
Zhou Kao still had his back to the lingerie store. He leaned in close to Wen Le’s ear and whispered, “You can be sexy, but only sexy for me to see.”
Wen Le’s face turned red, and Zhou Kao’s face was actually slowly turning red too.
Zhou Kao pushed Wen Le toward the direction of the lingerie store. “Go on.”
Wen Le’s face was still red, tugging tightly onto Zhou Kao’s sleeves. “No, no, I’m not going”
Zhou Kao continued nudging her, “There are not many open-minded boyfriends like me, just go on in.”
Wen Le’s face was red as if it was about to bleed. She suddenly hugged Zhou Kao’s waist tightly and shook her head vigorously, “No, no, I’m a woman who’s following the dominant CEO plot.”
Zhou Kao asked, “Really not going in?”
Wen Le nodded sorrowfully, “Let’s go, dear, let’s go see the bags at the C-brand store.”
The two reached an agreement and left holding hands as if nothing had happened just now.
Wen Le gritted her teeth in her heart.
Damn it!
You win!
TN: HAHAHA that was a good one, ZK!
