Chapter 430: Chapter 430: I Don’t Really Understand Trends Either
Qianxun didn’t want to go over just yet; she really didn’t have any good feelings for that Taoist.
So she quickly nodded and said, "Hmm, I’ll wait for you to come back."
Huo Tianzun hummed in acknowledgment, then went to the bathroom to freshen up.
After changing his clothes, he walked over to the bed, holding his tie while looking at Qianxun, "Baby..."
Seeing this, Qianxun immediately smiled and got up to tie his tie for him.
"All done, it looks great!" said Qianxun.
Huo Tianzun couldn’t help but have his ears heat up at her words.
"Shall I go then?" asked Huo Tianzun.
"Hmm, go ahead."
...
After going downstairs, Huo Tianzun didn’t rush to leave and instead deliberately summoned the demons to instruct them on some trivial matters.
He sat casually on the sofa, occasionally fiddling with the tie clip on his tie.
Qianxun had asked Ruan Mianmian what to buy as a gift, so as soon as Ruan Mianmian saw the tie around Huo Tianzun’s neck, and considering the boss ordinarily never bothered with these little things but today had gathered them all on purpose... she immediately realized what was going on.
Then she feigned surprise as she looked at Huo Tianzun and said, "Boss, why do I feel like your aura is a bit different today?"
After Ruan Mianmian’s comment, Bai Yingying couldn’t help nodding in agreement, "Yeah, I also feel like the boss is different today. But I can’t quite put my finger on what’s different."
Seeing Bai Yingying catch on so quick, Ruan Mianmian immediately followed up, "Ah, I know now, it must be because of this tie! The boss usually wears gray ties, but today it’s a dusty pink! I heard Eric saying that this color is what they call ’sophisticated gray,’ it’s low saturation makes it look very high-class, very popular among the upper echelons! Boss, your taste is getting better and better!"
At her words, the other demons all showed expressions of sudden realization.
"It’s true! I was wondering why the boss didn’t seem as cold as usual today, it’s because of this! I didn’t expect your taste in choosing ties to be so good, boss!"
...
Hearing the demons’ comments, with his goal to show off achieved, Huo Tianzun said with a calm demeanor, "This was chosen by my baby. I don’t really understand trends, but her taste is always right. Okay, you can all go back to your business, I still have things to do and need to step out."
With that, Huo Tianzun stood up and briskly walked towards the front door, a slight, somewhat smug smile on his lips.
After Huo Tianzun had left, Ruan Mianmian added, "It’s great to have a wife. But today is the boss’s birthday, have you all prepared gifts?"
At her words, the demons were petrified.
"Damn! I forgot!"
"Could the boss have been hinting us to give him presents just now? We’re doomed!"
"I’ll go prepare right now!"
Then, the demons scattered like birds and beasts, rushing to prepare gifts.
...
When Qianxun woke up, she saw many demons sitting in front of the sofa, showcasing their gifts for Huo Tianzun.
Seeing Qianxun come down, they immediately re-wrapped and tucked away the items, then said to Qianxun, "Sister-in-law, these are the birthday gifts we prepared for the boss, please accept them on his behalf!"
This way, they wouldn’t have to deliver the gifts to the boss themselves, avoiding another scare.
Hearing the demons’ words, Qianxun couldn’t help but chuckle, "Birthday gifts should be given in person to have sincerity. How could I accept them on his behalf?"
"No, no, no, you pass them on for us. We’ve got a lot on our hands today, afraid there won’t be time."
With that, the demons placed the boxes on the living room coffee table one by one and quickly made their retreat.
