Three days later, He Ci mysteriously took Su Ning out.
The two arrived at the bustling pedestrian street, which was lively and crowded with people.
"Brother Ci! What are we doing here?"
He Ci led her by the hand to a flower shop and stopped. Su Ning stood at the door and looked inside. The interior was exquisitely decorated, and the colorful flowers looked vibrant under the lights.
It looked like the place wasn't open yet; there were two staff members making flower baskets inside. Su Ning thought He Ci was going to buy her flowers, so she tugged at He Ci's sleeve.
"Brother Ci! Let's go look somewhere else, this place doesn't seem to be open yet."
He Ci smiled, took Su Ning's hand, and walked into the store. The staff inside greeted He Ci respectfully.
"Hello, Mr. He!"
He Ci nodded in response, "Come over here, let me introduce her to everyone. Her name is Su Ning! She will be the owner here from now on."
The people below bowed in unison, saying, "Hello, boss!"
Su Ning was flustered and didn't know what to do. He Ci put a property certificate and business license into Su Ning's hands. He had already bought the place and given it to Su Ning so that she wouldn't have to think about finding a job anymore.
"Open it and take a look."
Su Ning looked at the property certificate in her hand, wondering if it was what she was thinking!
Sure enough, his name was clearly written on the property certificate, even though this was in a bustling downtown area.
Although she was unaware of the property prices here, a storefront of a few dozen square meters would cost at least two or three hundred thousand yuan, while the one He Ci gave her was over one hundred and fifty square meters.
Su Ning's hands started to tremble slightly. A few days ago, she was given a car, and today she was given a shop. This made Su Ning feel like she was being kept.
Su Ning took a deep breath and returned the property certificate to He Ci. She hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking.
“Brother Ci, I can’t accept this. Doing this will make me feel like my feelings are cheap.”
After Su Ning finished speaking, tears streamed down her face. She didn't know when the man in front of her had taken up residence in her heart.
Perhaps it was the moment he asked me to stay, perhaps it was the multiple times he saved me, or perhaps it was the gradual development of feelings between us.
Su Ning could not accept He Ci's gift. What difference would that make her from those other women? Her mother had taught her since she was a child that poverty should not diminish one's ambition. A noble young man like He Ci was never short of women.
Today he might give her a car and a house, and tomorrow he might give them to someone else. Feelings are selfish, and Su Ning doesn't want to mix feelings with money.
If He Ci ever abandons her, at least she won't owe him anything; she can consider it repaying the debt of saving her life.
He Ci hurriedly and carefully wiped Su Ning's face, saying, "Alright, alright, don't cry. If you don't want it, I won't give it to you, okay?"
After saying that, He Ci took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the property certificate. Su Ning stared at He Ci with wide eyes. This was a property certificate worth millions of yuan, and he just burned it like that.
Su Ning had never bought a house, but she didn't know that even though the property certificate was burned, the name on it was still hers.
He Ci wasn't ashamed at all for lying. Looking at the small puddle of ashes on the ground, He Ci shrugged.
"Well, I've burned them all. You're not allowed to say our feelings are cheap anymore."
He Ci gently wiped away Su Ning's tears, feeling a pang of sadness in his heart.
Silly girl, my love for you has never been cheap. I just want to give you the best of everything. If it were anyone else, they would have happily pounced on me long ago.
"It's okay if you don't accept my gift, but you must become the store manager here. I don't trust you to work for someone else. You can't refuse to stay in the flower shop and work for me."
Su Ning knew that refusing would be considered foolish, so she nodded.
"But I don't know how to arrange flowers. Is there anyone who can teach me?"
He Ci pointed to several people not far away, "They are all flower arrangement masters that I have hired at high salaries. You can learn from them."
"Don't let my monthly salary of five thousand go to waste. You know, flower arranging is a craft."
Su Ning was a little incredulous when she heard about the monthly salary of five thousand. Could flower arranging really earn that much money?
