"Ms. Wen, this is the dress for tonight's dinner party. Mr. Ling asked me to bring it to you." The assistant
politely handed the dress box to her.
Lily didn't expect that Drew had prepared the dress for her. After hesitating for a while, she took it and
said, "please express my appreciation to Mr. Ling."
The assistant smiled and said, "okay."
After closing the door, Lily put the dress box on the table and opened it. Inside was a light blue dress,
which was a haunt couture of a first-line luxury brand in the world and was very expensive.
This gift was too precious for her, and she thought that she couldn't accept it. So she closed the box,
took it to Drew's room and knocked on the door.
When Drew opened the door and saw the dress box in her hand, he immediately asked, "what's
wrong? Doesn't the dress fit you?"
"No." Lily shook her head and said, "I just think this dress is too expensive for me to accept, so I'd
better give it back to you. I've prepared the dress myself."
However, Drew didn't take it. He leaned against the door, touched his chin and said worriedly, "but,
what should we do? This dress is completely customized according to your size. If you don't wear it,
isn't it a waste?"
"How do you know my size?" Lily raised her eyebrows.
With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Drew shrugged and said, "if I want to know, there will be a
way."
After thinking for a while, Lily came up with a good solution. "Why don't you tell me the price of this
dress and I'll transfer the money to your account?"
"Who do you think I am? As the president of the Ling Group, I can surely afford a dress. Are you
worried that I will go bankrupt?"
Lily smiled, "not really. I just feel that I won't get paid for nothing."
She only had a business relationship with Drew, not a very good friend, at least not to the point of
sending expensive customized dresses.
But since he had said so, Lily had to accept it. She would give it back to him in other occasions in the
future.
"Take it as your reward for accompanying me to the banquet." Drew said with a smile.
Reward? Lily raised her eyebrows. She was the one who benefited from the party with him. This
reason was too far-fetched.
"Anyway, thank you. I will return this favor to you in the future." Lily waved at him and was about to go
back to her room, but Drew stopped her.
"Let's have dinner outside later." Drew said, "by the way, I'll take you out to see the land I bought."
After thinking for a while, Lily felt that she didn't have much time to stay here. If she could finish her
work as soon as possible, she could go back early. So she nodded and said, "okay."
After she put the dress in her room, she went to the restaurant downstairs with Drew. After the two of
them had some food, they went to the land bought by Drew.
This land was located in the bustling city center, and it was rebuilt by old buildings. This kind of place
was usually very popular with several developer.
It had to be said that Drew was really capable of grabbing the land.
The shopping mall had been well planned, and the construction drawing of the new shopping mall had
come out. The construction was in full swing.
"What do you think? You won't suffer any loss if I cooperate with you, will you?" Looking at the huge
project in front of him, Drew turned around and smiled at her.
"It looks good, and the location is even better." Lily nodded.
The two of them strolled around the land again. Drew was a gentleman and a very elegant man. He
had a sense of humor, and it was easy to make people have a good impression of him.
In Lily's eyes, he was already her friend.
She had never been to H city before. The streets and alleys here were very lively. There were all kinds
of snacks on the street, making her dazzled.
Seeing that she had been staring at the snacks, Drew smiled and asked, "do you want to eat?"
Lily replied subconsciously, "No. I'm just curious about the smell... Ah?"
Before she could finish her words, Drew went straight to the stall, took out the money to buy a bunch of
candied haw berries, and handed it to her. "Haven't you eaten this before?"
Lily took the candied haw berries reluctantly. "Thank you. I just miss it because I haven't eaten it for a
long time."
The sight of the stick of sugar-coated haws reminded her of the carefree time in the Wen Family, the
sour and sweet stick of sugar-coated haws, which was also like her immature past and youth.
In the blink of an eye, time passed so fast. What happened in the past seemed to have happened
yesterday. Time elapse quickly, and the time was like arrows. It made people emotional.
"It's just a stick of candied haw berries. Are you moved to cry?" Drew was stunned when he saw the
tears in her eyes.
Realizing that she was out of control, she quickly came to her senses and rolled her eyes at him. "The
wind is blowing and it makes my eyes uncomfortable. When did I cry?"
"Really?" Of course, Drew also heard such an obvious excuse, but he didn't debunk it. He just shook
his head helplessly.
After walking around for two hours, the two returned to the hotel.
As soon as Lily closed the door, her phone rang. She picked it up and found it was from Kevin.
She felt a headache and hesitated whether to answer it or not. If she didn't answer it, what if Kevin
suddenly went crazy and didn't take her to see the child? Then it would be not worth it.
After hesitating for a while, she answered the phone.
"Where are you?" Kevin's cold voice made her feel awed through the microphone.
"I'm on a business trip," replied Lily.
"I want to know which hotel you are in." Kevin interrupted her coldly.
Noticing the hustle and bustle on the other side of the line, Lily asked in surprise, "are you in H city?"
She thought that Kevin was just angry, but she didn't expect that he would come here. She was
stunned.
"Or what do you think? Cut the crap. Which hotel are you in? Tell me the address. I'll be right there."
Kevin's tone was full of impatience.
If he knew where she was, would he agree to let her go to the dinner party with Drew?
Lily was thinking of the dinner party. Kevin was in a fit of anger so she didn't want to meet him face to
face. She gritted her teeth and said, "what? I was in the elevator. The signal was bad and I couldn't
hear clearly... I have to go out for some business. My phone is running out of power. I'll call you later."
Then Lily hung up the phone.
As soon as Kevin walked out of the gate of the airport, he heard the sound of busy tone on the phone.
His face was gloomy and frightening, which attracted several passers-by to look at him in horror.
"Good." Kevin gritted his teeth and stopped a car at the roadside.
