Chapter 21: The real daughter doesn't want to work hard anymore

The next day, Mingnan went to work and met Huo Yixiao again. He came to buy flowers on time. Today he bought white roses, and bought a big bunch.

Mingnan's attitude suddenly turned cold. He didn't say much the whole time. He wrapped the flowers and handed them to him in a businesslike manner, then turned and went into the lounge.

Her hot and cold attitude made Huo Yixiao unsure, and he asked Tang Su if she was in a bad mood.

Tang Su said no.

Huo Yixiao was even more confused. After thinking it over, he bought another bunch of sunflowers and asked Tang Su to give it to Mingnan, saying that he hoped she would be happier.

Tang Su asked Ming Nan: "Does he like you?"

Mingnan sneered: "Silly girl, he is a scumbag, stay away from him, otherwise you will become unhappy."

"Then why do you still accept his flowers?" Tang Su asked puzzledly.

Mingnan fiddled with the petals of the sunflower and said, "It's a waste. He is willing to buy it, so I can't waste it. It just so happens that I am moving to a new house and my house is missing a bunch of flowers. Sunflowers are warm and bright, so they are just right."

Tang Su looked at her thoughtfully, "You seem to have a grudge against him?"

Mingnan didn't deny it and winked at her, "So do you know what to do if you encounter this sucker in the future?"

Tang Su smiled meaningfully, "Oh~ I understand!"

So in the next few days, whenever Huo Yixiao came, Tang Su would recommend him those very expensive flowers. Huo Yixiao accepted all of them. He didn't recognize many of the flowers and just wanted to see them because they looked good, or to take this opportunity to strike up a conversation with Mingnan. But Mingnan was sometimes enthusiastic and sometimes cold. When she was in a good mood, she would chat with him for a while, giving him the illusion that "she likes me too", but when she was in a bad mood, she would throw him aside.

Finally, after a week, Huo Yixiao couldn't help but stop him at the door before get off work and asked, "Mingnan, would you be willing to let me treat you to a meal? Just consider it as a reward for your introduction of flowers to me during this period of time, how about it?"

Mingnan raised his eyes and looked at him. The weather was already very cold at this time, and a large amount of white mist came out of his mouth.

She had on reddish-brown lipstick on her lips; the rich red was hidden in the light white mist, and under the gray sky, it showed off the gorgeous beauty of an oil painting.

A heart-pounding feeling often happens in an instant.

Huo Yixiao's eyes widened as he stared at Mingnan.

I didn't even hear what she said, I just saw her soft lips opening and closing.

It was not until Mingnan snapped his fingers in front of him that his soul came back to life.

"What's wrong?" Huo Yixiao's heart was burning with excitement, and he subconsciously wanted to hold Mingnan's hand, but Mingnan easily dodged him.

She put her hands behind her back and tilted her head to look at him, "I asked you what you wanted to eat, why were you staring blankly?"

"I can eat anything. I'll listen to you. Get in the car first. It's cold outside."

Huo Yixiao said this politely as he opened the car door.

Mingnan bent over and got into the car. She seemed to see a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye, but when she turned her head to look, there was nothing.

She frowned, thinking she must have seen it wrong.

Finally, Huo Yixiao took her to a high-end restaurant in the city center to eat seafood.

Mingnan isn't really a fan of seafood, but the seafood here is really good. She's interested in things that don't require her to peel the shells herself.

It was quite pleasant for the two of them to eat while listening to the violin.

Huo Yixiao didn't drink because he had to drive, but he felt like he was getting drunk just by looking at Mingnan.

The anger that has been pent up in my heart during this period urgently needs a vent.

He put down the cup, wiped his lips, and looked at Mingnan opposite him.

Mingnan smiled secretly in his heart, here it comes.

"Nannan, you may not believe it, but I liked you the first time we met. I came to buy flowers every day just to talk to you."

Huo Yixiao's eyes were fiery and excited, and he also looked a bit at a loss, like a young boy.

A handsome and wealthy man suddenly showed an expression that was almost like showing weakness, which was indeed very lethal.

However, Mingnan just looked at him with a smile and had no intention of responding.

Huo Yixiao was unsure, licked his lips, and asked in a low voice: "I asked you to have dinner today just to ask you a definite question, are you willing to be my girlfriend?"

After saying that, he looked at Mingnan nervously and expectantly.

Mingnan's smile deepened and he nodded slowly.

Huo Yixiao was immediately overjoyed, "You..."

"I don't want to." Mingnan said slowly.

"What?" Huo Yixiao's smile suddenly froze on his face. He was not sure whether to smile or not, which looked a little funny.

"I said, I don't want to." Mingnan repeated it again, holding his chin with his hands and looking at him, "Huo Yixiao, is this all you can do to pursue someone? That's really clumsy."

Huo Yixiao: “???”

His eyes widened in astonishment, and he pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?"

"Yeah." Mingnan spread his hands. "I could tell your motives were not pure the first time you came, but life was too dull and boring, so I played along with you to see what you really wanted to do. I didn't expect that you were just here to deceive my feelings. It's really disappointing."

"You..." Huo Yixiao almost blurted out "How do you know?", but seeing Mingnan's eyes that seemed to see through everything, he swallowed it back and forced a bitter smile, "Did you misunderstand something?"

"You know whether it is a misunderstanding or not." Mingnan stood up slowly, put off his smile, and looked him up and down, "I really have no interest in you, you can go back and don't come again in the future."

She stood up and walked out directly. Huo Yixiao was stunned for a moment, then stood up and tried to chase her, but was stopped by the waiter, "Sir, you haven't paid yet."

Huo Yixiao was so anxious that he threw him a card, swiped it, and quickly chased after him.

Mingnan was standing on the side of the road trying to get a taxi. Huo Yixiao grabbed her arm from behind and said, "Wait, explain yourself. What do you mean you are not interested in me? Then who are you interested in? Gu Huaichi?"

The dagger is revealed when the picture is lost, and it is just like this that one gets angry out of shame.

She glanced back at him and snorted, "Why do you care about this? Isn't this just a joke? What, you don't really like me, do you?"

"Don't provoke me here. Tell me, who do you like?!" Huo Yixiao was really anxious. He ignored the strange looks from the people around him and gripped Mingnan's wrist with gritted teeth, using such force that it seemed as if he was going to break it.

"I like—"

Mingnan wanted to say, "It's none of your business who I like," but before he could finish his words, a cold wind suddenly blew beside him, and a big hand grabbed Huo Yixiao's hand tightly.

Mingnan was surprised, "Muyan Mountain?"

Huo Yixiao was startled, and felt the force on his wrist was frighteningly great. He subconsciously let go of his hand and took a step back.

Mu Yanshan glanced at him coldly, "What do you want to do?"

"Why are you here?" Mingnan asked in a low voice.

Unexpectedly, Mu Yanshan just glanced at her and said nothing.

Mingnan: “?”

【Why do you seem angry? 】

She glanced at Mu Yanshan's stern profile and suddenly felt guilty as if she had been caught.

[No, why should I feel guilty? What is my relationship with him?]

As a result, Mu Yanshan glanced at her again and snorted with a smile.

Mingnan: “???”
