“What souvenirs?” Lu Qingye looked back, his deep eyes filled with doubt.
Even though he often went on business trips and went to many countries, he had never prepared these.
He did not know what it was like for other people to go on business trips. Perhaps some of them were just here to have fun, but Lu Qingye was really working. After he was done, he would buy a ticket and go back. He would not consider anything else.
“Aren’t you going to bring a gift back for Madam? You’ve already been working for more than a month after the wedding. You left Madam behind for so long.
She didn’t say anything on the surface, but she definitely must have minded…”
The assistant’s voice became softer and softer as he spoke. He was worried that he would make Lu Qingye unhappy if he spoke too much.
Lu Qingye fell into deep thought.
If this was a gift for someone else, he could still have his assistant run the errand for him, but the person he wanted to give the gift to was Meng
Chuyuan, his wife.
After all, this was the first gift he had to give the other party after marriage. No matter how busy he was, he could not be so perfunctory as to not even have the time to choose a gift.
Sensing his hesitation, the assistant persuaded him tactfully, “Why don’t we go take a look? If we don’t see anything suitable, it won’t be too late for us to go
back.”
“Okay.” Lu Qingye did not know if it was because he was annoyed by his assistant or because he already had such a notion in his heart. Since there was such an opportunity, he agreed.
Perhaps the workload today was not as heavy, making him look more approachable.
There were many high-end custom-make shops overseas. Lu Qingye wandered around for a while, still conflicted about what to buy as a gift.
Suddenly, he walked to the entrance of a silk scarf shop. This seemingly gave him, who was feeling lost, a direction.
After thinking for two to three seconds, Lu Qingye finally walked in.
He had never been to such a store before. The moment he stepped in, his expression became more reserved. He was so nervous that it was an indescribable feeling.
A foreign woman approached him from the tailor’s area when she saw a guest enter.
The woman’s eyes lit up when she saw that he had an extraordinary temperament and was a man with masculinity and gentleness.
It was rare for a man to come to the scarf shop. Under normal circumstances, he would accompany his female companion. On the other hand, Lu Qingye was alone. His assistant stood in the blind spot at the entrance of the shop and waited.
The woman retained the astonished expression on her face as she spoke in authentic American English. “Sir, are you buying a silk scarf for your girlfriend?”
Lu Qingye said elegantly, “I’ll buy it for my wife.”
Hearing Lu Qingye’s response, her expression became even more colorful. However, in the blink of an eye, she quickly got back into character and passionately and seriously introduced their scarves to Lu Qingye.
After more than ten minutes of conversation, Lu Qingye confirmed that he was going to give Meng Chuyuan a custom-made silk scarf. However, he suddenly did not know how to prepare the gift. The material, color, and style of the scarf made him feel puzzled.
Perhaps because he had hesitated for too long, the woman could not help but ask, “May I ask if your wife has any characteristics?”
Instantly, Meng Chuyuan’s figure appeared in Lu Qingye’s mind.
He thought about it carefully and said casually, “She has long hair, a small face, looks good and likes to smile…”
Lu Qingye did not know if these were characteristics or whether they would be of any help to the customization this time. He roughly told them everything he could.
The woman listened to his description and recorded down everything useful. At the same time, she was fantasizing about what Lu Qingye’s wife looked like.
When Lu Qingye realized that there were no more words to say, the woman asked, “Then what color does your wife usually like to wear?”
He and Meng Chuyuan had not seen each other much before their marriage. In his impression, she seemed to wear everything. It was difficult to name a fixed color.
Unlike him, who wore a suit and leather shoes every day.
Lu Qingye was silent for a while before he suddenly took out his phone from his pocket and opened his photo album.
“Let me show you a photo. of her” Fortunately, Lu Qianling sent him a photo last time and it came in handy this time.
He took out the photo and pointed at Meng Chuyuan. “This is my wife.”
“Your wife is very beautiful.” The woman carefully observed Meng Chuyuan’s dressing style and recorded it down. “Okay. You can come to the shop to pick it up in about ten days.”
Lu Qingye said gently, “Thank you.”
After completing this order, Lu Qingye finally came out of the shop.
The assistant stood outside the door, trembling. His hands were hidden in his sleeves, and his neck was tucked into his collar. He bounced around at the entrance of the shop..
