Chapter 209 Let’s Make a Bet

Before leaving get off work, Shen Xubai suddenly called Luo Yan.

"Order me a bouquet of flowers."

"Huh?" Luo Yan was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, he heard Shen Xubai say, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

"You go out first."

"Yes." Luo Yan walked out of the office with his head down, and then realized belatedly that President Shen seemed to be in a good mood today?

Although Shen Xubai is introverted and calm, and always looks calm and composed, after following him for so long, Luo Yan can still perceive Shen Xubai's mood from the subtle details, and feel his aura through his sensitive intuition.

Luo Yan pondered it carefully and suddenly realized, Mr. Shen wanted to order flowers, could it be that he had reconciled with Miss Gu?

He was overjoyed. Was this long suffering finally going to end?

Recently, due to the arrival of foreign customers, the president's office has been working overtime every day, but on this day, Shen Xubai unexpectedly left work on time for the first time.

"Mr. Shen, take care."

"Goodbye, Mr. Shen."

Everyone watched Shen Xubai leave in a hurry and asked Luo Yan, "Don't you have to go to Mr. Shen's dinner party today?"

Luo Yan: "There's no dinner planned for today."

"Then Mr. Shen left so early today?"

Luo Yan looked mysterious: "It's right to leave early, our good days are still ahead!"

Shen Xubai took the special elevator directly to the underground garage. After getting in the car, he sent a text message to Gu Zhiyuan.

[I'm off work, I'll pick you up later]

It took him five minutes to receive a reply, a concise single word.

【Um】

He called Gu Zhiyuan at noon and invited her to dinner at his home in the evening. Although it took some time to persuade her, Gu Zhiyuan finally agreed.

He started the car, went to the flower shop first, picked up the flowers and put them on the passenger seat, then drove home.

At the same time, Gu Zhiyuan was choosing clothes in front of the mirror, feeling very conflicted about what to choose.

A suspender skirt? No, it's too deliberate, it looks like she's dressing up on purpose.

Sportswear is too casual and doesn't show off her beauty.

After choosing for a long time, she finally chose a cream-colored sleeveless dress with the hem just reaching her knees. She also put on some fake natural makeup and nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, Shen Xubai originally asked her out for dinner, but Gu Zhiyuan didn't want to go.

He just apologized last night. If she went out on a date with him today, it would be too shameless.

Finally, I chose a compromise and made it at home.

I have to say, Shen Xubai’s cooking skills are really good, and she also misses the dishes he cooked.

When the doorbell rang, Gu Zhiyuan had been lying on the sofa for a while. When she heard the sound, she immediately sat up. Hao Yunlai was already running towards the door with his short legs.

She counted thirty numbers silently in her mind before getting up to open the door.

The moment she opened the door, the first thing that caught her eye was the bunch of clear and lively lily of the valley in his hand. It was fresh and elegant, yet full of vitality. The touch of green and white suddenly caught her sight.

Gu Zhiyuan paused and looked up at Shen Xubai. He was wearing a white shirt with the collar undone, and his suit jacket casually draped over his arm. Seeing her looking over, he held out the flowers with a faint smile on his lips.

Gu Zhiyuan didn't answer, but just asked: "This is..."

Shen Xubai opened his thin lips and said, "I saw something nice on the street and bought it. I think it suits you very well."

Gu Zhiyuan raised her chin proudly: "Oh."

Shen Xubai handed the flowers to her: "I have asked someone to deliver the food to your home. I will make your favorite crabs and shrimps tonight."

Gu Zhiyuan then reached out to take it, looking reluctant: "Okay."

She looked down at the flowers in her arms, trying hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that wanted to rise, and thought to herself that she had good taste.

She turned and went in to put the flowers. Shen Xubai bent down and picked up Good Luck, and said softly: "I bought it a new toy, it should like it."

Gu Zhiyuan feigned indifference: "How do you know it will like it? People's preferences change, let alone dogs."

Shen Xubai's eyes darkened slightly, and he casually returned to normal, saying meaningfully: "Preferences can be guided. As long as the method is right, if you like something, you can always like it."

Gu Zhiyuan: "That's not necessarily true."

Shen Xubai touched Good Luck's head, then looked up at her: "How about we make a bet?"

Gu Zhiyuan: "What are you betting on?"

Shen Xubai put the puppy down and looked at her with his eyes downcast: "Let's bet whether Good Luck will like the toy I bought."

Gu Zhiyuan's bright eyes stared at him intently, "So, what's the bet?"

Shen Xubai's dark eyes stared at her quietly: "If it likes it, you can remove my WeChat from the blacklist."

Gu Zhiyuan raised an eyebrow and asked knowingly, "Are you on my blacklist? How did you know?"

A hint of unnaturalness flashed across Shen Xubai's deep eyes, but he quickly concealed it. His eyebrows were clear and his expression was calm: "I will send you a message, it's a red exclamation mark."

Seeing him so serious, Gu Zhiyuan suddenly had some bad thoughts: "Then why did I block you? I can't remember how I decided whether to let you out or not?"

Shen Xubai did not miss the cunning in her eyes, as well as the expression that was a bit angry.

He felt somewhat helpless and indulgent, and said seriously: "Because I said something wrong, made you angry, and made you sad."
