Of course, more importantly, Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that under such circumstances, having someone she’s familiar with would make her feel much more at ease. After knowing some information about Shengkong Group, Xiang Xiaoyuan was very self-aware. Even if she was socially adept, she would try not to have too much contact with the people at the banquet. Lu Wanggui would definitely be very busy on that day. He would be busy socializing and wouldn’t have the time to take care of her.

If Lu Bei was around, at least she would have someone to talk to.

Lu Wanggui looked at her. “Sure, but you have to ask Xiao Bei first.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan was puzzled: “?”

Why?

Lu Wanggui patiently explained, “If I were to ask him, there’s only one answer.”

He wouldn’t go. Lu Wanggui knew his son very well. If he asked, his son would not say yes even if he wanted to go.

Xiang Xiaoyuan thought of the way the father and son interacted and nodded in understanding. She went to the second floor and knocked on Lu Bei’s door. Lu Bei was wearing his headphones to study. When he saw her, he took off his headphones and asked casually, “You need something?”

“Yes.”

This was the first time Xiang Xiaoyuan had seen Lu Bei’s room. Her face was full of curiosity. Lu Bei’s room was just like that of a boy’s, and there were many gaming posters on the wall. The bookshelf at the side was filled with all kinds of figurines.

“Your father and I are going to attend a charity dinner in two days. Do you want to come with us?” Xiang Xiaoyuan added, “I heard it’s quite interesting. Why don’t you come with us and take a look?”

Lu Bei sat in front of his desk and twirled the ballpoint pen in his hand. “Charity dinner? It sounds boring.”

“So you don’t want to go?” Xiang Xiaoyuan thought that he was declining.

Lu Bei glanced at her. “I didn’t say that.”

“So you’re going?” Xiang Xiaoyuan could almost guess that his next sentence was going to be “I didn’t say I’m going either”. So before he could say anything, she said, “Then I’ll contact the people and have them come to our house tomorrow to let you try on a suit.”

Not giving Lu Bei a chance to refuse, Xiang Xiaoyuan decided, “Okay, then it’s decided.”

After saying that, she turned around and left the room.

Lu Bei: “? ? ?”

Why was it decided? He hadn’t nodded yet, right?

After the door closed, Lu Bei should have felt annoyed, but there was no hint of that on his face. He just smiled and put on his headphones to study.

Xiang Xiaoyuan walked briskly back to the master bedroom and shared the good news with Lu Wanggui. “He agreed.”

Lu Wanggui looked at his watch with interest. “So fast? It’s been less than five minutes since you went down. Are you sure he agreed?”

Since when was his son so easy to communicate with?

Counting the amount of time she went down and up, the two of them had only talked for three minutes. Was three minutes enough to make his stubborn son, who was rebellious, agree to it?

“Of course.”

Xiang Xiaoyuan and Lu Bei had been living under the same roof for a long time, so she had some understanding of his character. If he did not want to go, he would directly refuse, and he would not say such nonsense.

“Okay, then we’ll go together in the afternoon on the day after tomorrow.”

There were only two days left, so it was too late to order a custom suit for Lu Bei. Xiang Xiaoyuan personally arranged Lu Bei’s outfits. She quite liked dealing with these things, especially with Lu Bei’s appearance, no matter what he wore, it would look good.

It was fun to pick an outfit for such a person.

Lu Bei was indeed Lu Wanggui’s biological son. Both father and son were dragons and phoenixes among men. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old youth like Lu Bei looked different when he wore formal attire.

If Lu Wanggui was the representative of a mature man, then Lu Bei was that of a youthful boy.

Both of them were very eye-catching.

Lu Bei applied for two days of leave from the company. Under Xiang Xiaoyuan’s instructions, he had already changed into more than ten suits. There was an obvious hint of impatience between his brows. “Aren’t these the same? Just pick one.”

If he had known that attending the banquet would be so troublesome, he would not have agreed to it in the first place.

Xiang Xiaoyuan glanced at him. “How is it the same? The previous one is blue and this one is dark blue. The style and material of the cuffs are also different. There aren’t many options now. Your father’s cuffs, on the other hand, are very nice.”

She almost wanted to say that every time Lu Wanggui unbuttoned the cuff with one hand, her spirit would be lifted. Because that action of his was really too much to her liking!

“I think they are all the same.” Lu Bei did not care at all.

Xiang Xiaoyuan rolled her eyes. “That’s because your eyesight is not very good.. Alright, this one is good enough. Why didn’t your father order a few custom suits for you?”
