“Sixth Uncle?” He Huai tentatively spoke.
Quan Hanting shot him a cold look.
“Um…” He still felt nervous, but this time, he didn’t back down. With a forced effort, he said, “You’re blocking Shen Wan’s way.”
The worst part was when the air suddenly became silent.
“Ah Huai,” Quan Hanting suddenly spoke, “It seems like you’ve been quite free lately?”
“Uh… not really?”
“It seems like Fourth Brother has been too lenient with you.” Leaving behind these words, he turned and walked away.
He Huai was left puzzled in his spot.
Shen Wan watched the tall figure of the man grow further away, her eyes half-squinted, and suddenly, a faint smile appeared.
Quan Hanting, do you think you’re hiding it well?
Nice try!
He Huai drove Shen Wan back to her company. “Thank you.”
“Wait a moment!” He caught up with her.
Shen Wan raised an eyebrow. “What is it?”
“Wait for me, it won’t take long…” He Huai blinked at her and went around to the trunk, pulling out a bouquet of roses like a magician.
“For you—” He held them out to her.
Shen Wan took a half step back. “Why are you giving me flowers?” And they were roses.
He Huai had answered this kind of question before, like “Beauty deserves flowers” or “1 want you to be my girlfriend” and such. He could easily come up with any of those lines.
But at this moment, facing Shen Wan, who was extremely calm, the Second Young Master He, who was famous for his flowery words, was suddenly at a loss for words. He felt embarrassed, nervous, and anxious. All of these emotions surged up, accompanied by a rapid heartbeat, which made him, the self-proclaimed expert playboy, completely flustered.
Even though there could be a thousand answers, He Huai ultimately chose the dumbest, simplest, yet safest one—
“There’s no reason. It’s just from the restaurant. Take it back to your office and put it in a vase. It can be a decoration.”
Shen Wan didn’t respond.
“Well, if you don’t want it, just throw it away.”
“Uh…”
“Take it!” He Huai shoved it into her hands and chuckled. “I knew you wouldn’t bear to throw it away. Take it, take it. I’m off, bye!” He got into the car, closed the door, stepped on the gas, and disappeared quickly into the main road, soon fading from view.
Actually, Shen Wan wanted to say that there were no trash bins nearby, so she couldn’t throw it away here…
Little did they know that this gesture of giving flowers had long been noticed by someone with intentions, and it wasn’t just one person.
“Sixth Lord?” The horn behind them was about to burst, and Chu Yujiang had no choice but to withstand the pressure and speak up. He glanced at Shen Wan, who was standing on the roadside holding a bouquet of red roses not far ahead.
He thought that they were already on the road to “complete disaster”, and there was no turning back.
“Let’s go.” His tone was heavy, and it was hard to discern his emotions.
“Yes.”
“Call Fourth Lord and tell him that I’ve agreed to the capital increase proposal for the project, but it must be managed by He Huai.”
Chu Yujiang’s expression tightened, and he mourned for He Huai silently for two seconds. He wondered, why did you have to provoke the woman that Lord had slept with and taken a fancy to? Did you deliberately seek death?
On the opposite side of the street, in the no-parking zone, there was also a luxury car illegally parked in the middle, causing traffic congestion. Honking horns filled the air.
The assistant, glancing through the rearview mirror at the boss who was still staring out the window, lost in thought, felt anxious but dared not speak out. What was there to look at? Besides cars, there were tall buildings and street shops. Half a minute ago, the woman who entered the office building with roses in her hand was relatively eye-catching, although her face couldn’t be clearly seen, her long legs were indeed attention-grabbing. But now she had disappeared…
After a while, Shen Qian finally withdrew his gaze and calmly said, “Back to the company.”
Uh!
Just like that, they were going back?
The assistant was puzzled but didn’t hesitate. He skillfully manipulated the steering wheel. He thought, did he come out just for a drive?
But shouldn’t a drive go to the riverside road? Why head towards the CBD?
