As Gaote Zhu watched the door of the presidential suite close in front of him, he had the first thought of "maybe I should just retire."

But then he remembered the salary Xie Li was paying him, so Gao decided to tough it out for a while longer.

After three days of fun in the capital, the Xie couple didn't even see Xie Siyun, they just went straight back home. After returning home, Xie Li couldn't help but feel that home was still the best.

After resting at home for two days, Xie Li was dragged to work at the company by Gao. Xie Li didn't forget to bring his secretary, Jiang Yuying, with him. Over the next week, the two of them devoted themselves to the company. They even skipped several flower arranging classes. Combined with their previous absences, they had fallen behind in their progress.

The teacher scolded the guilty couple, "You two are already behind in the class, and you often skip classes. You won't be able to keep up with the progress like this!"

The guilty couple bowed their heads in apology, "We were wrong. We won't skip classes anymore."

The teacher didn't believe a word they said.

But because they were the model couple in the class, the couple everyone admired, the teacher couldn't help but be lenient with them. After scolding them for a sentence, he let them go back to their seats. When everyone was present, the teacher began the class.

They had been in the beginner class for a year already, but because they often skipped classes, their learning progress was very slow. In theory, they should still be torturing the teacher in the beginner class, but the wealthy ladies in the class felt the need to be nourished by their fairy-tale love story. After strong recommendations to the institution, they were finally promoted together to the advanced class.

But the content of the advanced class was indeed incomprehensible.

This resulted in this pair of idiots spending most of their time in class listening to incomprehensible lectures, and rarely paying attention when the class was actually taught. When it came time to practice, they basically had no technique, just inspiration.

"Honey, pass me that carnation over there."

"Okay."

"Honey, pass me the spray bottle."

"Okay."

"Honey, the water in the spray bottle is no good, it's been sitting for too long. Go and refill it."

"...Okay."

This was the state of affairs when they attended flower arranging class.

Xie Li was more like an assistant than a student in class. But Xie Li was still happy about it, buzzing around Jiang Yuying like a bee.

Meanwhile, the wealthy ladies on the other side smiled and called Jiang Yuying over to study together. Xie Li watched as Jiang Yuying arranged the flowers in the vase and was moved for a moment. He was also half a girl, and faced with beautiful flowers, he couldn't help but feel excited. Xie Li glanced at Jiang Yuying and saw that she hadn't noticed him over here, so he picked up the scissors, neatly trimmed the flower branches over there, and carefully inserted them into the vase.

He liked contrasting colors. The theme of today's lesson was "the use of red." Jiang Yuying mainly used carnations, ranging from bright red to orange-red, complemented by green leaves, giving it a contrasting feel. But Xie Li had other ideas; he wanted to add something special.

He added some white silver willow.

The silver willow was a linear flower, long and slender, with oval-shaped flowers on top, resembling a bud of wax plum branches. But it didn't fork much, it was mostly a long stem.

It looked very elegant and was a very good and common flower material for flower arrangement.

But it had one characteristic—it wasn't very suitable for beginners. Their flower arranging class was an advanced class, so the teacher had already begun teaching everyone when to use the silver willow. However, she may have forgotten that there were still two and a half beginners in their class.

Those who had learned but hadn't fully mastered it.

This resulted in the final product looking a bit odd. Jiang Yuying had originally chosen a contrasting color scheme, using classic red and green colors, but she didn't expect that in the few minutes she spent chatting with her friend, Xie Li would be able to turn her classic red and green contrasting color scheme into something completely different.

When she came back with the flower materials her friend had brought for her, she saw that her almost finished classic red and green contrasting color flower arrangement had been matched with white silver willow by Xie Li.

Originally, the well-coordinated carnations and the green leaves she had selected complemented each other, but now there was an inexplicable addition of white. First of all, the shape and length of the silver willow didn't match the carnations, and its temperament was very outstanding. Originally, the carnations were the main flowers, but with Xie Li's addition, they were completely overshadowed.

For a moment, Jiang Yuying was a little dazed. She hadn't been gone for more than a few minutes, and she had only been chatting with her friend next door, stealing a few glances at Xie Li, but who would have known that when she came back, her beloved flower arrangement had changed its appearance.

"Xie Li!" Jiang Yuying didn't even call him "husband" anymore, just directly called out Xie Li's name. Xie Li suddenly woke up and saw Jiang Yuying striding towards him with an imposing manner, her hands holding the flower materials were crumpled in the paper wrapping.
