The elderly man accompanying him said, "It should be real; after all, this is a Porsche. Scamrs can’t afford such an expensive car."
"Is there no one watching here?"
"I just saw the car’s owner leave."
Upon hearing this, the elderly man took the flowers and ran off.
Left behind, a bit confused, the other one said, "... aren’t you going to leave anything?"
"With no one around, why leave anything? Besides, these flowers aren’t worth much. I did the car owner a favor by taking them away!"
"..."
Adhering to the principle of not missing out on a good deal, the remaining elderly man also took the flowers and ran.
On this side, Shen Dang and Qiao Xi were walking along a path in the park.
Walking side by side, her shoulder would brush his arm from ti to ti, keeping their distance within intimate limits.
Shen Dang leisurely asked, "Teacher Qiao, what do you think you can exchange with this thod?"
Qiao Xi replied with a serene smile, "I always believe that most people in this world are kind-hearted, since I’ve decided to do this I shouldn’t overthink it. Just don’t be upset about how I handle the surprise you gave ."
"I won’t be."
Why would he be upset?
As long as she was happy.
Shen Dang lowered his gaze to her sleek profile, her skin glowing under the sunlight, her high nose catching a gleam, her face radiantly captivating, which stirred his heart.
Unable to resist, Shen Dang reached out and ruffled her hair.
Feeling the distinct touch, Qiao Xi paused, swatting his hand away, "Don’t ss with a female star’s head."
"Then I’ll let you ss with mine so it balances out."
Saying this, Shen Dang even bent down in front of Qiao Xi.
In her blind spot, Boss Shen’s thin lips curved up secretly.
Qiao Xi: "..."
What kind of statent is that?
Qiao Xi briefly paused her footsteps, then, stepping past him, she quickened her pace.
Shen Dang chuckled softly and hurried to catch up with her.
Tan Garden.
Once they had taken their seat in the private room, the server promptly brought the dishes.
The table was covered with her favorite foods.
Shen Dang, seated opposite her, his handso features unflustered, said, "Let’s eat, and after we can walk back and get the car."
Qiao Xi nodded.
During the al, they chatted intermittently, mostly remaining quiet, yet the atmosphere was inexplicably harmonious.
If last ti Shen Dang’s hour under her apartnt hadn’t moved her, today’s surprise did touch Qiao Xi a little.
Like she said, what girl doesn’t like flowers?
His sincerity was undeniable, and she wasn’t devoid of feelings.
At least at that mont, her heart fluttered a bit.
After eating, they stayed a while longer at Tan Garden.
By the ti Qiao Xi and Shen Dang reached where they parked, not a single rose was left in the trunk.
Only those who took the flowers had left so odd trinkets and even a few banknotes.
The world isn’t short of those who take advantage of situations, but there are also kind and honest people.
Among the small trinkets, Qiao Xi picked up a cute keychain, shaking it slightly, "I like this one."
The smile that Qiao Xi wore caught in Shen Dang’s eyes; her tea-colored pupils shimred with light, bright and dazzling.
Shen Dang’s lips curled into a smile, "Then keep it all, doesn’t your house have a cabinet for small displays?"
Qiao Xi suggested, "Take a look and see if there’s anything you like."
Shen Dang glanced over the colorful pile, "Nothing, what I like isn’t there."
"Hmm?"
Qiao Xi looked up, eting Shen Dang’s deep, dark eyes.
Shen Dang’s smile was lazy, "Don’t you know who I like yet?"
His gaze aningfully lingered on her face.
Qiao Xi’s expression beca a tad uneasy.
Who does he like?
—He likes her.
Even though she knew it in her heart, Qiao Xi didn’t directly respond to Shen Dang’s question.
Casually she said, "If you don’t like anything, I’ll just deal with it myself."
"As you wish," Shen Dang’s voice was slightly low, "Shall I take you ho?"
"Okay."
About fifteen minutes later, Shen Dang dropped Qiao Xi off at her apartnt building, turning towards her, "Promotions can be exhausting, rest well once you get upstairs."
"Thanks for bringing back."
Qiao Xi got out of the car.
Shen Dang watched her disappearing silhouette, then started the car.
Not far from driving off, Shen Dang pulled over to the side.
Twirling his phone in hand, after pondering, he decided to call Sheng Chao.
"What’s up?" ca Sheng Chao’s indifferent voice.
"How did you handle it after you gave your wife flowers?"
Sheng Chao was silent for a few seconds, then with a click of his tongue, "Didn’t you think this thod wouldn’t work?"
It was unclear who had previously scorned this thod.
"Just tell ," Shen Dang was slightly impatient.
"My wife sold the flowers and made a few hundred in return."
Shen Dang:"... It turns out it’s not bad."
So, it seems they weren’t the exception.
Detecting sothing intriguing in his words, Sheng Chao asked, "Why, did you and Xixi make up?"
The corner of Shen Dang’s mouth curved up in a smile, "Almost."
"Pff... As if I’d believe that," Sheng Chao scoffed.
"It’s only a matter of ti," Boss Shen was very confident.
With that, he hung up the phone.
To spare Sheng Chao from discouragent, since he didn’t want to listen to any unpleasant words.
After Qiao Xi got ho, pleased, she took a few unedited photos of the vase in the living room and uploaded them to Weibo.
[Wife, I’m here.]
[Sister is prettier than flowers, why not appear more?]
[Louis XIV roses, I dare guess it’s from goddess’s husband.]
When Qiao Xi read this comnt, she paused.
Louis XIV?
She googled it online.
The online description for Louis XIV roses symbolized — I’m only devoted to you.
Qiao Xi: "..."
Boss Shen, not knowing much about romance, probably wasn’t aware of this variety’s aning.
But out of so many varieties of roses, he chose this one...
Qiao Xi’s mood was complicated.
She opened Shen Dang’s WeChat, typed a ssage in the input field, but right as she was about to send it, she deleted the line.
Forget it.
She shouldn’t act impulsively just because she was moved.
Not long after Qiao Xi posted on Weibo, surfing expert Tang Honghe sent her a screenshot of the post and the comnt from netizens to Shen Dang.
[Tang Honghe: Did you really give these flowers to sister-in-law?]
Shen Dang squinted his eyes as he opened the image.
Indeed, it was what he had sent.
[Shen Dang: Why are you paying so much attention to your sister-in-law?]
Upon reading this, Tang Honghe felt an imminent danger approaching him, so he hurriedly replied: [As a younger brother, of course, I hope you and sister-in-law can reconcile soon; since you’ve already sent flowers, isn’t it ti to find a romantic place to confess?]
Shen Dang scoffed with derision, replying succinctly: [Stupid!]
[Tang Honghe: Ai, how is that stupid?]
[Tang Honghe: Brother Dang, do you have Weibo? Maybe you should sign up for a Weibo account and sneakily peep at your sister-in-law’s screen.]
Shen Dang: "..."
What nonsense, he wouldn’t do such a thing.
