"It's me."
In the wine tasting room, someone stood up, carrying a large bunch of sunflowers, covered their face, and walked up to Tang Li.
Tang Li smiled:
"You'd better give me a reason I can't refuse you, or I won't accept these flowers."
After saying that, Tang Li felt that his words were not prepared enough, so he added:
"To be precise, it's not that I don't accept these flowers, it's that I don't accept any flowers from my suitors."
You could tell it was Song Beiye just by hearing that voice.
Song Beiye showed half of his face:
"The sunflower represents facing the sun and growing towards it; I hope you will always thrive."
that's all?
Tang Li took a small step back:
"Or, you could say a few more words."
That's not appealing at all; it's a waste of such a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Tang Li had expected Song Beiye to say a few more words, but instead, Song Beiye shoved the flowers into Tang Li's arms, reached into his pocket, and said:
"If you don't like sunflowers, I'll order 999 red roses right now. Perfect timing, I have an engagement ring in my pocket. Let's not worry about what society thinks, let's propose first?"
What a load of rubbish!
Tang Li readily accepted the flowers and obediently said:
"Thank you for the birthday gift, Mr. Song. I really like it."
Yunxi pulled Tang Li aside:
"No way, you're such a coward? He's clearly threatening you, and you can't let that go?"
Tang Li pointed to the watch on his wrist:
"Please, I'm running out of time. Besides, this guy might be capable of doing something so morally depraved as to propose to a married woman."
In short, let's get rid of this trouble first.
After listening, Yunxi felt that it made a lot of sense:
"You'd better be more rational and thoughtful. So how are you going to get to 10 o'clock reading? Are you going to drive me? Or should I take you?"
Seeing that there were quite a few people in the wine tasting room today, Tang Li reached out to her for the keys:
"I'll drive myself, so I won't stop you from making big money. After all, I want to receive such a nice gift again next holiday."
Yunxi patted her shoulder:
"Then wait here, I'll go get you the car keys."
After taking the car keys, Tang Li, carrying the sunflower and her bag, walked out of the lobby, with Song Beiye following behind, fawning over her.
"Your Majesty, it's your birthday today, so please don't go to the trouble of driving yourself. Let me take you."
Seeing his glib and slick manner, Tang Li stopped and turned around to look at him:
"When we first met, I thought you were a cold and domineering CEO. Now it seems I was wrong. You are very witty and humorous. But thank you for your kindness. Life is about enduring hardships. Besides, your driving skills may not be as good as mine."
Song Beiye extended an invitation:
"How about we have a match another day?"
Tang Li nodded:
"You said it yourself, another day. If it's another day, then let's talk about it another day. I'm very busy today, I'm really sorry."
Song Beiye smiled and chased after him:
"As expected of someone who works with words, you've completely captivated me. But I insist on volunteering to be your driver, since I'm waiting for you to finish your work so I can deliver the birthday surprise I've carefully prepared for you as soon as possible."
so...
Tang Li looked at the bouquet of flowers in her arms:
"Isn't this the surprise you gave me?"
Song Beiye shook his head:
"To be precise, this bouquet of flowers wasn't even from me. Before my brother passed away, he asked me to attend your book signing event in his place. He repeatedly told me to order a bouquet of sunflowers for you, otherwise he wouldn't rest in peace."
Hearing him say this so frankly, you can tell he must be someone who buries his sadness deep inside.
Tang Li felt somewhat sentimental:
"I'll go see where my brother is buried after I'm done with this busy period."
Song Beiye said with a grin:
"Don't think about seeing him yet. Look at me first. Give me a chance to show my worth. Let me drive you there. It's not easy for you to drive in high heels, and it would be a hassle to change your shoes, wouldn't it?"
It's not troublesome at all.
However, Tang Li still held the car keys in her hand and turned to him:
"Since you're so sincere, I'll assume you're offering to take me there on behalf of your brother, and I'll reluctantly accept your kindness."
Song Beiye's car was parked next to Yunxi's car.
Seeing that Tang Li had agreed, Song Beiye hurriedly opened the passenger door for her.
Behind them was Huo Chenyu, who had just turned the corner.
He watched as Tang Li got into Song Beiye's car with flowers in her arms. Before he could catch up, Song Beiye had already made a neat U-turn and sped away.
As the two cars passed each other, Tang Li deliberately sniffed the fragrance of the flowers, appearing completely immersed in love.
She hadn't expected Huo Chenyu to come, and she really wasn't prepared how to face him.
Although she couldn't bear to use Lu Zhixing to take the blame for her.
But Song Beiye...
In all honesty, he came to me eagerly.
And he acted as if he knew nothing at all.
He was still muttering to himself on the way:
"The reason I'm so close to you in this life is all thanks to my brother's help. It's just a shame that the kid died young. If he had lived another three or five years, I would have spoiled him rotten."
Tang Li rolled her eyes at him:
"So even if they were resurrected and returned to the human world, you would still send them back to heaven. It would be better if they didn't come back at all. The human world is fine, you can have fun with it."
Jokes aside.
After a while of joking and laughing, Song Beiye suddenly asked seriously:
"Hey girl, did you have a fight with King Yan Huo?"
