I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 168 - Valentine’s Day Gift

Chapter 168 -168 Valentine’s Day Gift

Wen Zhuo said, “I’ve been wanting to find an opportunity to return the Star Dailu pendant to you, but I never ran into you again. I didn’t expect that my savior would be you. I’ll bring the pendant back to you tomorrow.”

Yuan Xi chuckled and shook her head, “No need, that pendant was something Gu Hanchen liked on a whim, and he doesn’t like it anymore.”

Wen Zhuo paused slightly and responded, “Alright.”

Xu Zhou said, “I didn’t expect that you two would have this kind of connection?”

Wen Zhuo replied, “Indeed, I hadn’t expected it.”

Wen Zhuo and Wen Su didn’t stay long, and they left shortly after Xu Zhou.

Not long after they left, Shi Zhen and Huo Ting arrived with Little Huohuo.

The nanny following behind Shi Zhen even brought a bowl of rice dumplings in a thermal container.

Dressed in a festive red down jacket, Little Huohuo excitedly said, “Sister, sister, I made these rice dumplings by myself!”

Yuan Xi looked at the sesame rice dumplings of various sizes inside and handed them to Huo Shiyuan, “Do you want to try them first?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Since Little Huohuo made them himself, let him eat them.”

Little Huohuo touched his round belly, “I’ve already eaten, these are for sister.”

Shi Zhen chuckled on the side, “Don’t worry, I watched him make them the whole time. They are very clean and hygienic, and the dumplings Little Huohuo made are quite tasty.”

After tasting two small dumplings, Yuan Xi pinched Little Huohuo’s cheeks, “Huohuo is amazing, the dumplings are delicious.”

Little Huohuo said, “Sister likes them, then I will often make them for sister in the future.”

Yuan Xi chuckled softly, “Huohuo is so good.”

Shi Zhen followed Yuan Xi upstairs to see two kids; perhaps it was also because of her age, never wanting Huo Shiyuan to call her mother, she looked forward to Lele and An An calling her grandma sooner after becoming a grandmother.

Perhaps because of the affection that skips generations, Shi Zhen, who hardly had much motherly love for Huo Shiyuan, found she could never get enough of the two children.

“Xiao Xi, after your confinement, do you plan to go back to work?”

Yuan Xi nodded, “Yes.”

“Why don’t you let me take Ruolin to my place and look after her for you?”

Hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Yuan Xi immediately shook her head.

Shi Zhen, not disheartened by the refusal, reached out to play with Lele’s little face, “Then I will come over more often to see my adorable granddaughter…”

Seeing that Shi Zhen had cut her long beautiful nails and now only wore nail polish without much decoration, Yuan Xi gently smiled; it was apparent Shi Zhen truly loved the two children.

Having more elders love their children naturally made Yuan Xi happy as well.

During the New Year days, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan spent their time inside Yunsen Court. Although it was the festive season, neither Yuan Xi nor Huo Shiyuan could truly relax.

Especially since the Mi Chenhai Services Department was set to commence after the New Year, Yuan Xi was still evaluating the data provided by headhunters before the holidays. Developing the overseas department was almost like starting a new business, and choosing employees needed careful consideration.

Huo Shiyuan also had a new assistant, a sunny and cheerful male college student.

On his first day at Yunsen Court on the eighth day, he bowed to Yuan Xi and said, “Hello, madam. My name is Ye Huan, President Huo’s new assistant.”

Yuan Xi nodded at Ye Huan with a faint smile, “Hello.”

Huo Shiyuan had arranged a job for Ye Huan, and then Ye Huan left Yunsen Court.

Yuan Xi asked, “Why have you hired a new assistant?”

Huo Shiyuan replied, “Ye Huan won’t be working as my assistant for long. He’s a young master from the Ye Hua Group of the Ye Family. He just graduated from college and came to learn from me for a few years.”

Yuan Xi smiled, “I see.”

Indeed, landing an assistant position straight out of college to Huo Shiyuan meant coming from no small background.

On February 10th, Yuan Xi finally finished her confinement period, but just as she could finally go out, she encountered a cold snap.

Yuan Xi was always afraid of the cold, so she only arranged to meet with Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan inside a shopping mall in City A.

Liang Suisui said to Yuan Xi, “Giving birth really is torture. You’ve been resting for a month, and you still look quite weak.”

Chen Yuan also said with much sympathy, “Indeed, you used to look healthier.”

Yuan Xi laughed lightly, “Maybe it’s also because I’m not wearing makeup, and giving birth is definitely torturous. But seeing Lele and Anan makes it all feel worthwhile. When I left just now, I could barely part with Lele. Although she’s only a month old, she seemed to know I was going out, fussing over me before I left the door.”

Liang Suisui made an ‘X’ with her hands, “Girlfriends’ gathering, no talking about husbands or kids.”

Chen Yuan said, “Well… I still have to mention it. Isn’t Valentine’s Day coming up in a few days? I need to prepare a Valentine’s gift for Shi Zhen. He was upset with me for a long time during the last Qixi Festival because I didn’t prepare anything, thinking I didn’t love him anymore.”

Liang Suisui replied, “Alright, alright, I’ll help you pick a Valentine’s gift. Xiao Xi, don’t you need to pick one too?”

If Chen Yuan hadn’t mentioned it, Yuan Xi might have almost forgotten about Valentine’s Day. Upon careful observation, there were indeed many Valentine’s Day advertisements around the mall.

Suddenly, Yuan Xi also felt troubled. It seemed Huo Shiyuan and she hadn’t made a big deal of this holiday during the last Qixi Festival.

This Valentine’s Day, if she carefully prepared a gift and Huo Shiyuan treated it like any other day, should she still give him the Valentine’s gift or not?

Yuan Xi smiled resignedly. She was becoming somewhat indecisive. If Huo Shiyuan really forgot, then so be it. It wouldn’t hurt to give Huo Shiyuan a gift.

Yuan Xi and Chen Yuan started browsing the men’s perfume section, where there were quite a few specifically aimed at Valentine’s gifts.

Yuan Xi, who had been sensitive to smells even before pregnancy and found it heightened during pregnancy, didn’t really want to give Huo Shiyuan perfume since her sensitivity to odors still existed.

Yuan Xi asked Liang Suisui, “If not perfume, what else can I give?”

Liang Suisui suggested, “From my years of reading novels, how about a tie? Cufflinks?”

Yuan Xi laughed lightly, “Huo Shiyuan wears suits and shirts less often than I do.”

Huo Shiyuan indeed seldom wore formal attire; even less than Yuan Xi, who wore formal outfits regularly for work. Huo Shiyuan almost never used tie pins or cufflinks.

Liang Suisui suggested, “How about a watch, a pen?”

Yuan Xi replied, “He has a watch, and he probably isn’t short on pens either.”

Liang Suisui added, “Then why not wash yourself, tie a bow on, and present yourself to him?”

Yuan Xi, “…”

Seeing Yuan Xi shy away, Liang Suisui laughed, “Alright, alright, I’ll stop teasing. A gift is just a gesture. Whatever you give will be fine. Even if you gave him a rock, he would surely love it.”

Yuan Xi considered, “Actually, giving a rock is an option.”

Since they hadn’t had a wedding and thus didn’t have wedding rings, she really could start by giving Huo Shiyuan a men’s ring.
