Qin Qiao'er said happily, "I passed the audition! So I came to celebrate with you."
After hearing the news, Zhao Youting was really happy for Qin Qiao'er. Remembering how hard she had practiced before, he thought all her efforts had paid off.
Qin Qiao'er went on, "Here, this is a gift. Put this potted plant in your office. It's too empty here. When you're tired from work, you can look at it to relax. Just think of it as me accompanying you."
Zhao Youting was deeply touched. He didn't expect Qin Qiao'er to be so thoughtful. He had long been used to the style of his office.
Now, after hearing what Qin Qiao'er said, he thought his office did seem a bit too plain. He quickly took the potted plant from Qin Qiao'er and placed it on his desk.
Then he sat down on his chair seriously and began to carefully adjust the angle of the plant, wanting to see it whenever he looked up.
Qin Qiao'er just stood there watching Zhao Youting arrange the plant. Seeing that he liked the gift so much, she felt very happy too.
Finally, when Zhao Youting found a suitable angle and placed it well, he just remembered that Qin Qiao'er was still holding a bouquet of flowers in her other hand. He casually asked, "Did you meet a fan? Who gave you the flowers?"
Zhao Youting thought Qin Qiao'er had met a fan on the way and the fan had given her the flowers. He never thought this bouquet was for him.
Qin Qiao'er suddenly stuffed the bouquet into Zhao Youting's arms. He was a bit stunned and didn't know what Qin Qiao'er was up to.
At this time, Qin Qiao'er said, "This bouquet is for you. It's called Eustoma." Here Qin Qiao'er stopped and didn't tell Zhao Youting the flower's hidden meaning.
"Are they beautiful?"
Actually, it wasn't the first time Zhao Youting had received flowers. Before, many of his suitors had sent flowers directly to his office, but he never even looked at them and just asked his assistant to throw them away.
But these flowers seemed to be carefully selected by Qin Qiao'er. He liked them no matter how he looked at them. He felt these were the first flowers he had ever truly received in his life.
"I like them very much." Zhao Youting, touched, hugged Qin Qiao'er into his arms. Then he gently lowered his head and kissed her forehead.
"It's your audition that passed, but you still come to give me presents. It's all my fault that I didn't care about you in time. Let's go shopping later. See what you like and I'll buy it for you. It's to celebrate your successful audition."
Qin Qiao'er happily nodded in Zhao Youting's arms.
Zhao Youting ruffled Qin Qiao'er's hair again and then started to pack his things, getting ready to leave the office and finish his work for the day.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly the door of Zhao Youting's office was knocked. His secretary came in and said, "President, there seems to be something wrong with the company in the US."
Zhao Youting stopped packing. He had just promised Qin Qiao'er to buy her presents. It was so rare for Qin Qiao'er to come to him on her own initiative.
Zhao Youting paused for a moment and then said, "Let the people on the board of directors handle it. I have something urgent to do and need to leave quickly."
The secretary looked very anxious. "The US side is eager to contact you directly. This time the problem is quite big. Maybe the board of directors can't make a decision."
Qin Qiao'er quickly said understandingly to Zhao Youting, "You deal with your work first. I'll just wait here for a while. It's not urgent."
Zhao Youting frowned deeply. Although he was very impatient, he still sat down at his desk honestly. The secretary quickly placed the documents about this incident on Zhao Youting's desk.
Zhao Youting quickly flipped through a few pages and found that he really had to handle this mess in the US himself.
Zhao Youting looked at Qin Qiao'er apologetically. "You came to see me with so much effort..."
Qin Qiao'er smiled at Zhao Youting. "It's okay. There are quite a lot of books here. I'll just read for a while. Time will pass quickly."
Zhao Youting looked down at the document for a page and then looked up and closed the document.
He stood up, took out all the books from his bookcase, poured a cup of tea for Qin Qiao'er, and took a small cushion from his rest area and placed it behind Qin Qiao'er.
Seeing Zhao Youting bustling around, Qin Qiao'er quickly waved her hand. "Don't worry so much. If I need something later, I'll get it myself. You hurry up and deal with your work. Don't worry about me."
Zhao Youting glanced at Qin Qiao'er and sat back at his desk, wanting to solve this problem quickly so that he could go shopping with Qin Qiao'er.
But unexpectedly, it took him until late at night to handle it. It was almost night here, but due to the time difference, it was still daytime in the US, and all kinds of things piled up.
Unconsciously, it got dark outside. Zhao Youting was deeply involved in his work. When he finally solved the problem and looked up, he found the neon lights were already flashing outside.
Zhao Youting quickly looked at Qin Qiao'er and found that she was half - lying on the sofa, fast asleep.
Zhao Youting sighed softly. He felt a bit sorry for Qin Qiao'er. His overtime work had made Qin Qiao'er wait for him here.
He walked over quietly, wanting to pick Qin Qiao'er up and carry her to the rest room next door. It was too uncomfortable to lie on the sofa.
When he came to Qin Qiao'er's side, looking at her usually bright big eyes now closed, all he could see were her thick eyelashes and plump lips.
Although Zhao Youting was no stranger to Qin Qiao'er's lips, seeing her like this now, he still couldn't help but lower his head and secretly kiss her.
At this moment, he also remembered that before, when Qin Qiao'er was asleep and he wanted to wake her up. At that time, they weren't together yet, but he had already understood his own feelings.
At that time, he really wanted to kiss Qin Qiao'er. Finally, now he could do what he wanted without restraint in an official capacity.
