Chapter 77 The flowers your husband bought for you
As soon as I opened the car door, I saw a bunch of crushed ice blue flowers on the passenger seat. The buds were full and the colors were beautiful, and the first frost paused.
"For me?"
"I passed by a flower shop on the corner. It looked pretty good from a distance."
I picked up the flower and sniffed it, it had a light and pleasant fragrance.
"It smells so good. You are very picky."
Sheng Ting caught a glimpse of the slight smile on her face and said softly, "How can I make you happy if I don't choose someone prettier?"
The first frost is slow.
The man passed over another box of cakes.
The cake is not big, just enough for one person, and it is decorated with big red cherries.
Chu Shuang took a bite and raised her eyes slightly.
It is an ice cream cake with a cool and smooth texture. The cake melts as soon as it touches the tip of your tongue, and the milky aroma quickly spreads on your taste buds.
“Is it delicious?”
“It’s delicious.”
Chu Shuang picked up a spoon and handed it to him.
Sheng Ting took a look and ate it too, nodding slowly, "Eating desserts can really make people feel better."
Hatsushimo slowly narrowed her eyes, "Really?"
The man was a full-time driver today and there were only two of them in the car. When the car passed two intersections, the route was different from usual.
"Where are you going?"
"Take you for a ride."
Sheng Ting turned on the car music, and the soft and peaceful pure music lingered in the car, making the evening after get off work instantly become gentle.
I opened the window a little bit at the beginning of the frost so that I could feel the evening breeze and eat cake while listening to music.
As the car passed the bridge across the river, the bridge was lit up and the long bridge deck was a bright red, so beautiful.
Glancing to the side, the river is vast in the distance, with tall buildings standing on the riverside, casting magnificent reflections on the water. There are several ferries with bright lights slowly moving forward.
The scene was so lively and beautiful that Hatsushimo couldn't help but take out her phone to take pictures.
Seeing that she wanted to take a photo, Sheng Ting glanced back and saw that there were no oncoming cars, so he slowed down a little to take the photo for her.
Leaving the bridge and entering the bustling city, there are obviously more vehicles and pedestrians here than in the office buildings of the financial city.
When she looked up, she saw a glimpse of red. Chu Shuang exclaimed, "Red lanterns have been hung on the roadside."
The long road that stretches as far as the eye can see is decorated with red lanterns on both sides. Everywhere you look is bright red, and the atmosphere is full of the fireworks of the world.
Sheng Ting glanced at him and moved his lips, "It's almost the New Year."
The street shops in the downtown area are doing a booming business. In the evening, many people go out for a walk or a stroll. Perhaps it is the New Year, and everyone comes out to buy New Year goods. Looking at this prosperous and lively atmosphere, my mood also becomes cheerful.
The corners of Hatsushimo's lips curled unconsciously, her eyes fixed on the bustling crowd, and she sighed softly: "It's great to live in a peaceful era, with peace and prosperity in the country."
Listening to her quiet but serious sigh, the man chuckled.
There was too much traffic and the road was not smooth, so we had to drive slowly in congested areas.
But there was a lot of space next to them. Hatsushimo saw with his own eyes that the owner of the car on the right quietly moved his car to the side after seeing their logo.
"They are all avoiding you." Chu Shuang turned his head to look at Sheng Ting, "Drive carefully."
His Maybach was expensive and delicate. Even the slightest bump on it would cause a considerable expense, not only would he suffer losses but would also scare passers-by.
Drivers on the road all stay away from him, for fear of getting into debt by accident.
The man drove the car in an orderly manner. He responded to every word she said: "Okay."
When the car entered a relatively open area, Sheng Ting stopped the car on the side of the road and found a scarf from the back seat. "Come on, I'll take you for a walk."
Chu Shuang stood on the side of the road and let him put a scarf on her. Sheng Ting covered half of her head and her ears were tightly blocked from the cold air.
When I looked down, I saw it was an off-white knitted scarf.
After putting it on her, Sheng Ting looked her up and down with a serious look, and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he took her hand and said, "Let's go."
Chu Shuang pursed her lips, followed him and looked up at him quietly.
The man had high brow bones, deep eye sockets, and thin lips of a light red color. The light from the roadside shops ran into his eyes, and his deep pupils were deep and clear.
Perhaps her gaze was too obvious, Sheng Ting lowered his head, "What?"
Hatsushimo felt the warmth coming from his thick hands, met his gaze, and slowly raised her lips: "Does this scarf look good on me?"
The man didn't hesitate for a second.
"You look good. I've never seen anyone who looks better in white than you."
Pure white is too transparent and looks cold, while beige has more warmth, which contrasts with her and makes her look clean and bright, like an ink painting drawn with a single stroke. The monotonous color is enough to show off her stunning facial features.
A butterfly flew into Chu Shuang's heart, "Did you buy it today?"
"Well, white should be easy to match."
She said the colors of the scarves at home were difficult to match.
The street lights were bright, and he stood in the backlight, with his face clearly outlined by the shadows. The more you looked at him, the more handsome he became, and you couldn't take your eyes off him.
The moment she looked into his eyes, Chu Shuang felt a peace she had never felt before.
Her brows slowly relaxed and her eyes curved into a smile.
Suddenly I figured out some things.
The past and the future are elusive; what she wants is the present.
The two of them strolled around the bustling street for a while. Chu Shuang saw some beautiful and interesting gadgets and bought some to take back. She thought she would find a restaurant here to eat, but after strolling for a while, Sheng Ting said he would take her somewhere else to eat.
As they were walking back, they met a cute flower boy.
The little boy has a round, rosy face and is holding a big bouquet of champagne roses.
When he saw them passing by, the young boy called out to Sheng Ting in a tender voice.
"Uncle, do you want to buy some flowers for your girlfriend? My flowers are very fresh."
The man stopped walking, lowered his eyes to look down at her, and said in a gentle voice, "Not a girlfriend."
The young man looked at the two people holding hands in shock, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Do you want to buy a bouquet of flowers for your sister?"
Hatsushimo couldn't help but burst out laughing, she was really touched by the child's cleverness and cute way of thinking.
Sheng Ting glanced at her uncontrollable smile and said to the child, "Do you think we look like brothers and sisters?"
The little boy opened his big, bright eyes and said truthfully, "Not really."
"Well, she is my wife, not a girlfriend." The man explained every word to the child seriously.
Not even a sister.
"Wow, you married such a beautiful wife!"
Sheng Ting curled his lips and glanced at the person next to him, "Yeah."
The little boy smiled and said, "I want to marry such a beautiful wife in the future."
Hatsushimo smiled, "So you're selling flowers to earn money to marry a wife at such a young age?"
"Well, I have to be rich. Dad said that only if I have money to buy girls beautiful dresses will they marry me. I can't always ask my parents for money. I have to learn how to make money myself."
Looking at his serious attitude, he is still a warm-hearted boy. Chu Shuang couldn't help but rub his head when looking at him.
"You must have made a lot of money, then."
"Of course not," the little boy said proudly, "I'm very sweet-talking, and everyone likes to buy me flowers. My coin jar is almost full."
Hatsushimo: “That’s amazing.”
"Give her nine."
Sheng Ting took out his wallet and the boy saw that he wanted to buy flowers, so he happily picked out a few of the freshest flowers and gave them to Chu Shuang.
She said a little arrogantly, "I don't let anyone touch my head, only my future wife can touch it. But since you are beautiful, I won't bother with you."
"No, these are the flowers your husband bought for you."
