Red roses
Su Bai didn't expect Shen Yanshu to suddenly say this. The strange thing was that he actually felt a little happy in his heart, but not much.
Shen Yanshu is undoubtedly passionate. She is pampered, confident and optimistic, but she is not sober now. Su Bai thinks that alcohol makes it difficult for people to stay sober and will also infinitely amplify emotions and make people impulsive.
"You're drunk." Su Bai spoke slowly, his voice restrained and distant.
Shen Yanshu was stunned when Su Bai said this. She wondered if she was wrong, thinking that Su Bai had some feelings for her, but she didn't care and continued, "I'm not drunk, I'm sober now."
"Is it not possible for me to pursue you?" Shen Yanshu's eyes lit up. Su Bai moved his fingers slightly without saying anything.
"If I pursue you, will you hate it?" Shen Yanshu changed the question.
Su Bai answered irrelevantly, "You're home."
"Are you avoiding my questions?"
She really wanted to turn Su Bai's face over, make him look directly at her, and see what this man was thinking.
But she wouldn't do that. She smiled and opened the car door: "Thank you for taking me home."
"You're welcome." Su Bai said.
Shen Yanshu returned to her room and fell asleep on the bed for a long time before she woke up. No one cared about her in her own house, and she was lying there in a mess. If Mingwan saw her coming back like this, she would be worried again.
"Yueyue, what are you doing?" She had something on her mind and needed to find someone to talk to. Only Wen Xianyue knew about this, so she called.
"I'm having dinner outside with my brother, what's wrong?" Wen Xianyue said.
"You're still out so late?"
"My brother didn't make a reservation in advance and waited two hours to get a table. I think it's good. I'll bring you here next time."
"Okay." Shen Yanshu turned over.
"Is something wrong with you?" Wen Xianyue could tell from her tone that something was wrong. "Have you been drinking?"
"I had dinner with my colleagues and met Su Bai." Shen Yanshu said.
"Then what?"
"I asked him 'Can I pursue you?' He didn't reply me." Shen Yanshu thought about it carefully and felt a little aggrieved. She had never met someone like Su Bai.
"There's something about this Su Bai." Wen Xianyue commented.
Shen Yanshu heard Wen Xianyue's brother asking her something, and Wen Xianyue said it was okay.
"Yeah, what a cold person."
"How are you going to chase her?"
"What makes you think I'll chase you?"
"You're not chasing?"
Well, Shen Yanshu admitted that Wen Xianyue was right, "Of course not."
"I knew it. If you need help, tell me." Wen Xianyue lowered her voice and asked, "How do you plan to pursue her?"
"have no idea."
"Have you moved out?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"I'll go to your house and analyze it for you that day."
"Okay, you eat. I'm going to sleep too." Shen Yanshu hung up the phone and felt sleepy again.
Ningcheng is extremely hot both during the day and at night, and the four seasons are not obvious in this city.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the front desk of S Group received a large bouquet of flowers and was told that it was being sent to the president's office.
The receptionist was about to call through the internal line when a man wearing sunglasses, a floral shirt and casual shorts appeared. His long, bony hands gently picked up the card from the bouquet, read it, and said with a smile, "No need to call, I'll deliver it."
The receptionist saw the man's face and said politely, "Hello, Mr. Huo."
"Hello, young lady." He raised his sunglasses and greeted with a smile, "Don't tell Mr. Su that I'm here." Then he walked towards the elevator with his long legs, holding a big bouquet of flowers.
The elevator went up to the 32nd floor. Su Bai was the only one on this floor. He knocked on the door and went in without waiting for the person inside to speak.
“Surprise!”
Su Bai was startled for a moment, then looked at Huo Lang, who was dressed very fancy, and calmed down and said, "Alang, why did you come here so suddenly?"
Huo Lang placed the flowers on Su Bai's desk and said, "You've been in Ningcheng for so long, but you didn't come to see me. So I had no choice but to come to you."
When Su Bai was three or four years old, he stayed in Ningcheng for a while. At that time, Huo Lang lived next to his house, and the two often played together. Later, he officially returned to Nova to go to school, and the two rarely met. When he was a teenager, Su Bai followed his grandmother back to worship his ancestors and contacted Huo Lang again. Since then, they have kept in touch, and occasionally Huo Lang would fly to Nova to see him.
"Aren't you on vacation recently?" Su Bai poured a glass of water for Huo Lang.
It is true that Huo Lang likes to play and does not like to stay in the office. Even if he has work, he will sit in the executive lounge to enjoy the scenery and handle his work.
"So I came to see you as soon as I got back."
"Come to see me and bring flowers?" Su Bai couldn't imagine that Huo Lang was this kind of person, so he was very confused.
"Of course it wasn't me. Don't you know which girl you've messed with during your time in Ningcheng?" Huo Lang was very relaxed, leaning back on the sofa. "I saw the name Su was written on the card, so I brought it up for you."
"The signature is 'Shen'."
Huo Lang looked at Su Bai with eyes full of gossip.
Su Bai looked at the bouquet of warm red roses on the table. It seemed like Shen Yanshu's style, irresistible and unspeakably strong. A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Looks like there's a story?"
Su Bai denied it: "No."
"Alas, there's going to be another person in this world who's been hurt by you." Huo Lang felt sad. He had never seen a girl who had successfully pursued Su Bai. "You're not still dwelling on your last relationship, are you?"
"Isn't that uncle's forced arrangement? I don't think you're too willing to do it." Huo Lang wrapped his clothes tightly around himself and asked fearfully, "You like girls, right?"
Su Bai rolled his eyes and said simply, "Get lost."
"That's good," Huo Lang said, "but don't you really want to think about it? You're a man in his thirties, and no one will want you in two years."
"I……"
Huo Lang interrupted, "Hey, don't use work as an excuse. A few years ago, you could say you were too busy with the old guys in the group to think about it, but now you're in power. Although your uncle hasn't retired, he's no longer in charge. S Group is now your one-man show, so using that as an excuse is inappropriate."
Su Bai took a sip of water and said, "I don't want to. I have a lot of things to do right now. I don't have time to think about it."
"Really?" Holland said, "Or you can introduce her to me."
"no."
"You rejected it so bluntly, and you even said you didn't want to." Huo Langhua passed by and saw through Su Bai's thoughts at a glance, "So which Shen is it?"
"Is there still that Chen in Ningcheng?" Su Bai asked back.
"The one I'm thinking of?"
Su Bai was indifferent and just hummed.
Huo Lang said, "I heard a long time ago that you were in a car accident on your first day in Ningcheng and were rescued by a beautiful woman. She said it was Shen Yanshu. I didn't expect it to be true."
"You haven't been in Ningcheng for a while, how did you know?"
"This kind of thing is like air. If it can get out, it will float to the corners of Ningcheng. I know it's not uncommon." Huo Lang moved closer to Su Bai. "Tell me the truth, do you really not like it?"
Su Bai kept a distance and said nothing.
"He's a bit reserved," Huo Lang commented. "It's okay if you don't like him. There are many people in Ningcheng who either like Shen Yanshu or want to climb up the Shen family's ladder."
"The young lady also has a temper. You are so cold. She was interested in her at first, but lost interest later. You can just cry secretly." Huo Lang patted Su Bai's shoulder and said.
"Don't tell anyone else about this." Su Bai warned.
"As for sending you flowers. Of course I won't tell anyone else. I don't want to make her angry." The Huo family and the Shen family have a cooperation. Shen Yanshu looks gentle, but he is not without temper. There is no need to do so.
"However, I don't think you are indifferent. Are you really not tempted?" Huo Lang continued to ask.
Su Bai glanced at Huo Lang and changed the subject, "Did you come to me today just to gossip about this?"
Huo Lang stopped joking and raised his hands in surrender: "I'll treat you to a meal, do you want to go?"
Su Bai picked up his suit jacket and said, "Let's go."
Huo Lang stood up, followed him, and teased, "Don't take the roses."
Without even turning his head, Su Bai said to his assistant, "Find a vase to put the flowers in the office."
"OK."
Huo Lang wiped his nose. It seemed that his brother was not some thousand-year-old iceberg.
"Oh, I guess someone will be staring at flowers from time to time in the future."
Su Bai rolled his eyes at him and said, "Go drive."
Huo Lang took two steps back and laughed impudently: "Yes, Mr. Su."
Not long after getting in the car, Su Bai was still dealing with work when a text message suddenly popped up.
【Have you received the flowers? 】
Su Bai looked at the message and realized he hadn't added Shen Yanshu's contact information. Just a few words triggered his thoughts. He wondered what she was doing, what expression and mood she was in, whether she would be disappointed if he didn't reply, what she would say if he did, and whether he would continue to receive flowers from her in the future.
Before I knew it, the phone screen went dark.
Huo Lang looked at Su Bai, who was sometimes laughing and sometimes silent, and was very curious: "What are you thinking about?"
"Nothing." Su Bai asked, "...How do you reply to a girl's text message?"
Huo Lang said a puzzled "Huh?", his head full of questions, "What girl?"
Su Bai coughed, thinking he had asked the wrong person, "Nothing."
"Shen Yanshu's?"
"Yeah." Su Bai considered his reply and typed [Received, thank you.] in the input box before deleting it.
When the car arrived downstairs of the hotel, Huo Lang handed the car keys to the receptionist to park the car, and then he moved closer to Su Bai and said, "Let me see what kind of news made you hesitate for so long."
Su Bai quickly tilted his phone, but Huo Lang still saw it: "...You need so much time to think about this. Don't tell me you haven't accepted other people's flowers."
"Let me give you a tip."
"What?"
"Just say, 'Thank you, I love them. I've asked my assistant to put them in a vase and put them on my desk. Can I get your flowers tomorrow?'" Holland said. "Add a heart to make it less serious, and that'll give the girl the confidence to take the next step."
Su Bai listened to half of it, edited and sent it. When Huo Lang saw the message Su Bai sent, his eyes went dark.
Shen Yanshu, who received the news, was drinking tea with his mother and almost spilled the tea in his hand.
She muttered, "Business!"
Ming Wan looked at Shen Yanshu: "What's wrong? Are you burned?"
"It's okay, Mom, I met a fool."
Ming Wan laughed, "Xiao Su."
"Yeah, let me show you. He actually replied to me like this." Shen Yanshu showed Ming Wan the phone interface.
"It seems that Xiao Su has no plans in this regard." Ming Wan said tactfully.
"But I just want him to make some plans." If you give up because of this, then what kind of love is that? "By the way, Mom, Yueyue asked me to go out for dinner later. You and Dad can eat by yourselves tonight."
"Okay, don't play too late."
