When Mr. Li visited Jing City, he returned with a young girl by his side.
<...Chapter 126 Peony Flowers
On the way back, the two passed by a flower shop. It usually closed at six o'clock, but today it was rare that it was still open.
The boss just came out of the shop, holding a bunch of white peonies. The white petals were even more conspicuous in the dim light. Lin Shutang caught a glimpse of them out of the corner of his eye and took a few more glances.
Li Yansheng, holding the steering wheel, noticed her gaze and asked, "Do you like it?"
Lin Shutang: "I like it."
Hearing this, Li Yansheng turned on the right turn signal and stopped the car.
Lin Shutang got out of the car and walked up to the boss: "Boss, do you still have this flower?"
The boss glanced at the flowers in his hand and said, "This is the last bouquet in the store today. I was planning to take it back to my wife. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
As he said that, he handed the flowers to Lin Shutang.
When Lin Shutang heard him say that the flowers were for his wife, he said, "You want to give them to your lover? Forget it. I'll buy them another day!"
Boss: "It's okay, I can send her tomorrow."
Hearing this, Lin Shutang hesitated for a moment and took out his phone: "Thank you, how much is it? I'll scan it for you."
"No, there were some leftovers."
"Yes."
Lin Shutang knew that peonies were not cheap recently. Such a big bouquet of flowers would cost at least two or three hundred yuan.
Li Yansheng took out his phone, opened the payment app, and looked at the boss: "How much?"
The boss looked at the man walking up behind her and laughed out loud: "Since this gentleman wants to give it as a gift, let's make it ninety-nine, for good luck."
When Lin Shutang heard this, her face turned red. She took the flowers but didn't say anything else.
After turning around, she heard a notification sound behind her saying "WeChat payment of 299 yuan".
On the way back, Lin Shutang kept holding the bouquet. When he got back to Luyuan, before he even had dinner, he found a vase to put the flowers in and placed it on the dining table.
Li Yansheng sat at the dining table, watching her busying around without picking up his chopsticks first, his eyes doting, "I like it so much."
Lin Shutang nodded and looked at the table, feeling that something was missing.
With a quick glance, he went to the kitchen cabinet and found the candles he had bought earlier and lit them.
When he sat down, he saw Li Yansheng staring at him with a smile on his face. Lin Shutang smiled a little embarrassedly: "What's wrong?"
Li Yansheng handed her the chicken soup he had prepared. "Nothing special, let's eat!"
Halfway through the meal, Lin Shutang suggested drinking.
Li Yansheng spoke, with a rare stern tone: "Do you know what's going on with your body?"
Lin Shutang felt guilty when she heard this. She never drank alcohol before, but she had indeed been drinking more recently.
However, hearing his tone of lecturing her like a child, Lin Shutang instinctively wanted to retort: "I've been taking medicine recently, and I've gotten much better. I can drink low-alcohol drinks. I was fine last time."
"You dare to bring up last time?" Li Yansheng said this, but he didn't look angry.
Therefore, Lin Shutang was a little scared of him, but he was not completely intimidated. He bravely said, "Just tell me whether you will give it to me or not!"
Li Yansheng was silent for a moment, staring at her without blinking. Lin Shutang was almost hesitant to say "forget it", but she heard him say, "Okay."
Hearing this, Lin Shutang stood up happily, his knees hitting the edge of the chair, causing the chair to move with a loud noise.
When Lin Shutang reached the corridor leading to the kitchen, he heard Li Yansheng's voice behind him: "Take the bottom one."
"good."
