Blurb:
Shen Siyu is a wealthy business magnate: refined, aloof, and ambitious. Everyone in finance knows his name.
Chen Xiyou is an adorable, soft-hearted finance student with no ambition. Her name appears on the list of students who failed classes every year.
When Shen Siyu returned to his alma mater to give a speech, someone asked what his ideal type was.
Shen Siyu: "Elegant and resilient, clever and quick-witted. Most importantly, she has to be ambitious."
Chen Xiyou: "Exactly. That's me. ^_^"
Her classmate beside her was mortified. "What do you misunderstand about yourself?"
Later, the Chen family held a birthday party for Chen Xiyou, hoping to find a suitable marriage partner for her. The room was full of promising young men, and all her classmates had gathered too.
Her secret boyfriend, Shen Siyu, showed up looking thoroughly displeased.
Her family frowned as soon as they saw him and warned Chen Xiyou, "Don't get involved with him. Stay away."
Chen Xiyou obediently agreed. "Got it. We don't know each other."
Shen Siyu's expression darkened even more.
The cake was decorated with a pair of white jade elephants as a good omen. But when they opened the cake box, the elephants were nowhere to be seen.
Her family asked, "Where's your partner?"
Without hesitation, Shen Siyu said, "I'm her partner."
Everyone erupted in shock.
Chen Xiyou: Let me explain...
Bonus scene:
The company organized a hiking trip. Shen Siyu rarely showed up in person, so everyone tried to impress him, putting all their effort into climbing.
Chen Xiyou strolled along leisurely, bringing up the rear.
Shen Siyu fell back and put on a stern face. "Our company is an industry leader, and we promote a culture of hard work and perseverance. Since you came, you should be striving to improve. Drop the young lady act. I'm not going to indulge you! Do you hear me? Why are you rubbing your legs?"
Chen Xiyou looked aggrieved. "My legs are sore."
Shen Siyu walked up to her with a cold expression and crouched down. "Get on."
