Lin Qiao took the bag and found several small gift boxes inside. Opening one, she discovered it contained this year’s Lilong Spring New Planet Pendant!
It was the Earth design recommended by Ruan Shenyi!
As a long-established high-end jewelry brand, Lilong has made many attempts to appeal to younger consumers in recent years. The most successful of these is the Eight Planets series. The brand appointed eight popular young actors and actresses with different styles as visual ambassadors, successfully leveraging celebrity influence and fan bases to penetrate the youth market. The brand even announced that they would determine a brand ambassador based on feedback from the Eight Planets series.
High-end jewelry brand ambassadors—who wouldn’t be envious of such top-tier fashion resources?
Therefore, upon the launch of the Eight Planets series, fans of those young actors and actresses went all out to boost sales for their idols.
However, high-end jewelry is still high-end jewelry. Even with a youthful approach, it’s still jewelry. Even though the price is the lowest in Lilong’s history, it’s still close to 100,000 yuan. Lin Qiao, looking at her meager bank savings, had no choice but to give up.
Seeing the gift, Lin Qiao was so excited she almost cried: “This…is it for me?”
“Do you like it?” He asked.
“I love it so much!”
Lin Qiao made no attempt to hide her delight. The pendant was not only beautiful and valuable, but it could also boost her idol sales. Could there be a better gift in the world?
“But…why are there four?” Lin Qiao rummaged through the pendants and found four identical pendants.
“Didn’t you say you had a good relationship with your roommates? Time flies, and four years will pass in the blink of an eye. In a few months, you’ll graduate, and maybe you won’t see them again for a long time. You can give them to them to thank them for taking care of you these past four years.”
He paused, then continued, “Also, don’t you like Ruan Shenyi?”
Su Zhengxing’s calm words stirred a storm in Lin Qiao’s heart, and her nose tingled with emotion.
He even remembered something as small as boosting sales for her favorite celebrity…
A sense of guilt surged up at that moment. Even if the person she conspired with was his future self, it couldn’t change the fact that she was a shameful emotional liar.
Lin Qiao suddenly felt a little afraid to look at him, lowered her head, and said in a choked voice, “Su Zhengxing, how can you be so good to me…”
Su Zhengxing seemed slightly taken aback, gently cupping her face in his hands, his fingertips lightly wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
“Actually, I’m not good at all.”
As Baitian’s executioner, Su Zhengxing’s reputation in the industry had never been good. People both looked down on his background and feared his methods, offering only flattery and never a kind word.
This was true at work and in life. When Chairman Qin praised him, it wasn’t because he truly appreciated him, but because he hoped that he would continue to work hard for Baitian. When Wen Dai said she liked him, she only liked the so-called ‘matching social status’. Even Qin Shen sometimes felt that he was too cold and heartless.
“No, you are exceptionally good!” Lin Qiao said earnestly and solemnly.
He would abandon meetings to drive for hours to pick her up from remote villages, out of concern for her safety. He would stand up for her when she was slandered and isolated, telling her to hold her head high. He never belittled her hobbies, nor did he use his power and experience to interfere in her life. Even when Lin Qiao told him that she didn’t plan to stay in Baitian, he simply smiled and let her make her own decision.
At least to her, Su Zhengxing was a very, very good person.
So good that she really wanted to like him…
But… her feelings would only be a burden to him. After all, their relationship was nothing more than a transaction. He had warned her from the beginning not to like him. Once he returned to his body, the transaction would end, and they would have no further connection, perhaps even becoming strangers.
Lin Qiao shook off the delusions in her mind.
At the same time, Su Zhengxing, in her consciousness, felt his chest in reality pounding violently. The deeper the feelings, the greater the betrayal. What if his real self knew that all of this was a deception tailor-made for him?
His lie had deceived two people, so he both hoped Lin Qiao would like him and feared that she might actually like him.
Meanwhile, in Baitian’s underground parking lot, someone blocked Yu Xiaoxiao’s path.
It was Cheng Ling.
