Chapter 237: Chapter 237: A Small Request Isn’t Too Much to Ask

Yun Zijin simply nodded at Wen Sier in greeting.

Most of the attendees at today’s conference were older researchers, so Wen Sier had planned relatively simple looks for Lu Yunque and Yun Zijin.

Yun Zijin’s was a sleeveless white gown with an asymmetrical ruffled hem.

Lu Yunque wore a classic black formal suit, adorned with a fine jewelry brooch.

The brooch was something Lu Yunque had picked from his own collection of accessories, and he had also prepared all the jewelry Yun Zijin was wearing today.

Her pieces were crafted from the same natural diamond as his brooch.

This was a bit of sly planning on Lu Yunque’s part. He’d had the matching couple’s jewelry set made long ago, just waiting for an opportunity to wear it with Yun Zijin.

This way, even if they weren’t wearing matching outfits, anyone who saw their jewelry would know they were a couple.

Throughout the process, Yun Zijin was like a doll, letting Wen Sier apply this and that to her face.

"Miss Yun’s skin is wonderful, so I won’t apply too much makeup..."

From the first moment he saw Yun Zijin, Wen Sier felt as if he had encountered his muse.

A very pure and simple kind of muse.

That was why his attitude toward Yun Zijin was even more enthusiastic than it was toward Lu Yunque while he was styling them.

Lu Yunque watched from the side, green with envy, but he knew Wen Sier had no ulterior motives toward Yun Zijin.

His eyes held only professional appreciation for Yun Zijin, not the affection between a man and a woman.

’It was just a habitual pang of jealousy, but he could still control himself.’

At noon, just as Lu Yunque had promised, he had already arranged for food to be delivered, so Yun Zijin didn’t have to go hungry.

Because the styles were relatively simple, their looks were finally complete by 3:00 p.m.

The conference was scheduled for 5:00 p.m. and would last for about three hours, ending at 8:00 p.m.

This schedule was supposedly set to keep the researchers from having to stay up late.

End at eight, get home by nine, wash up by ten, and be in bed just before eleven.

However, since Yun Zijin and Lu Yunque finished their styling right at 3:00, the timing was perfect. The drive to the conference hotel would take about an hour, or possibly two if they ran into traffic.

But 3:00 p.m. wasn’t rush hour, so Yun Zijin figured they probably wouldn’t run into any traffic.

Not long after the two got into the car, Lu Yunque’s phone rang.

Yun Zijin glanced over inadvertently and saw only the name "Li" on the caller ID.

’Of all the people around Lu Yunque with the surname Li, the only one she knew of was Li Yuexing. Li Yue Xuan didn’t count.’

Lu Yunque put the call on speakerphone.

"Old Lu, where are you? We should all head in together in a bit!"

’Judging by his tone, Li Yuexing must have received an invitation too,’ she thought.

"I have my girlfriend with me. I’m not like you guys."

In previous years, Lu Yunque had always entered with Li Yuexing and the others, but this year was different. He was now a man with a girlfriend by his side.

’No, more accurately, they had both received invitations. They were equals, not one being the other’s accessory.’

"What! You have a girlfriend?! Since when? How come we didn’t know?"

Li Yuexing’s tone was filled with utter disbelief, as if it were absolutely impossible for Lu Yunque to find a girlfriend.

"We haven’t told anyone, so you’d better not go spreading it around."

The main reason was that Yun Zijin felt it wasn’t appropriate to be too high-profile while she was still a student.

If people found out she was the girlfriend of President Xiao Lu of the Lu Family, they would dig up every last thing about her.
