"I would love to be your girlfriend," Mei Xing agreed.
A radiant smile spread across Lu Aotian's face. Overcome with joy, he leaned in and kissed her, a gentle yet fervent kiss that spoke volumes. When they finally broke apart, he pulled her into a tight embrace, burying his face in her hair.
"Thank you," he whispered his gratitude. "You've made me the happiest man today."
Mei Xing leaned into his embrace, a feeling of contentment washing over her. They stood there, wrapped in each other's arms, the world around them seeming to fade away.
The flowers swayed gently in the breeze, a silent witness to their budding romance. Eventually, they pulled apart but kept their hands intertwined.
"Do I get to have that picture now?" Mei Xing asked in expectation.
Lu Aotian chuckled. "You didn't win the deal but I'm willing to compromise."
"Thank you."
