Chapter 27: The White Dew Has Yet to Dry 7
What Zhou Xuanyu referred to as showcasing his skills was actually an invitation for Junxi to display her talents and accompany him to the charity ball next week.
The charity ball in Qingcheng is held once a year.
The main invitees are the leaders of major enterprises in Qingcheng. To put it bluntly, they are the wealthy individuals who have more money than they know what to do with. Just a small amount of gold from their fingers could support a child in a disaster-stricken area.
As the leading enterprise among the top ten in Qingcheng, Hengfu Group has always included Former President Zhou Xuan Yong on the guest list, known for his generous contributions. Now that Zhou Xuanyu has taken over as president, the organizers naturally shifted their focus to him.
On the weekend before the ball, Zhou Xuanyu specifically arranged for a formal dress to be delivered to the school. Junxi was studying in the library when Xue Waiwai helped sign for the package.
When she returned, she found Xue Waiwai sitting on the edge of her bed, curious yet hesitant to open it.
“I’m afraid it’s a bomb,” Xue Waiwai said.
“Who would go through so much trouble to pack a bomb in such a beautiful gift box?”
Junxi casually lifted the lid, and her eyes were dazzled by the sight of a white gown.
“Wow!” Xue Waiwai exclaimed. After glancing at Junxi again, she reached out to pick up the dress.
“Come on, spill it. Who sent this? Isn’t Zhou Ziyan in Belgium?”
"What’s going on with Zhou Ziyan?"
"Well, it’s true. The person who has a crush on you, Guan Shao, could wrap around the Earth holding hands."
"Are you teasing me again...?" She reached out to tickle Xue Waiwai.
Just then, her phone rang.
"Wow, this Cao Cao really shows up right on cue!" Xue Waiwai rushed over to snatch her phone.
"Give it back!"
"Who is ZXY?" Xue Waiwai paused.
Junxi was taken aback.
She knew who ZXY was; she just couldn’t recall when this number was saved in her phone.
"Answer it quickly! I won’t listen," Xue Waiwai said, shoving the phone back to her.
She said "Hello," and stepped out onto the balcony, pushing open the glass door under Xue Waiwai's amused gaze.
"Did you receive the dress?" Zhou Xuanyu's emotionless voice came through, sounding like a routine inquiry.
"Mm."
"Just try it on. If it doesn't fit, we can change it."
Junxi rubbed her phone case; it was quite worn out, and she had never replaced it.
"Don't you want to ask if I like it?"
"You'll like it." He didn't hesitate for a moment.
She did like it. She didn't even know when it started, but she had always liked dresses that were pure white and reached just below the ankle. Even though, at the time she liked them, her slender calves could hardly support such length.
This inexplicable fondness was often referred to as an obsession, and she indeed had an obsession with white dresses.
Perhaps it was because of that person...
After hanging up the phone, under Xue Waiwai's encouragement, Junxi tried on the dress.
The dress fit perfectly, as if it had been tailored just for her.
"No way! Wen Junxi, you have to explain this to me. Which divine being knows your height and measurements so well?" Xue Waiwai's curiosity surged, her hands pressing down on Junxi's shoulders as she shook her vigorously.
"Stop it! Let go of me!"
"Are you going to say it or not? Come on!"
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you. Someone who knows me this well, of course..." She deliberately paused.
"Wen Junxi!" Xue Waiwai's gaze was almost lethal.
"Of course it's the health check center."
"What? You're messing with me!"
Xue Waiwai felt a bit discouraged and let go of her, turning to head into the restroom.
Junxi smiled; it was true.
When she joined Hengfu Group, she submitted a complete health check report along with her other documents. All her information was displayed in that report.
Zhou Xuanyu was a determined person; whatever he wanted, he had ways to obtain it.
This dress, from its color to its size, was a thoughtful creation of his for her.
That’s why he was so certain she would like it.
