Chapter 7: She doesn't want to work hard anymore

On the appointed day, Mingnan reported to the flower shop on time, and the boss checked how she was carrying the atlas.

Mingnan answered fluently and gracefully.

The boss was very satisfied. After observing her for three days, he saw that her performance was indeed very good, so he made her a regular employee ahead of schedule.

On the fourth day, Mingnan was arranging the bouquet as usual when the wind chime at the door suddenly rang.

She looked back and said subconsciously: "Welcome to Ruyue Flower Shop, may I ask——"

The rest of the words got stuck in my throat.

She looked at the two acquaintances at the door in astonishment.

"Acquaintances" Mu Yanshan and Gu Huaichi were also surprised. The three of them looked at each other for a long time without saying a word.

Gu Huai blinked slowly, hesitant to recognize him. Mingnan had changed so much, he was like two different people. The change was not only in appearance, but more in temperament. His whole state from the inside out was different.

In the past, she was like a pearl covered in dust, gray and inconspicuous.

And now, that layer of dust has been brushed away for some reason, revealing the true face of the pearl with soft luster, which makes people unable to help but be attracted.

As he was watching, his vision suddenly went dark.

Mu Yanshan walked up to him without knowing when, and greeted Mingnan in a natural and familiar way, "Good afternoon."

"Good afternoon." Mingnan quickly calmed down, put the flowers away with a smile, wiped his hands and asked: "Are you here to buy flowers? What do you want to buy?"

[How can it be such a coincidence? How can this happen? ]

Gu Huaichi was stunned for a moment and looked around in confusion.

Mu Yanshan nodded. "Today is my mother's death anniversary. She loved pink roses and baby's breath the most. Please help me make a bouquet. Thank you."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Mingnan glanced at Gu Huaichi again and asked hesitantly, "Where is Mr. Gu?"

Gu Huaichi suddenly came back to his senses, with a hint of confusion between his brows, "Pack a bunch of white chrysanthemums for me."

Mingnan nodded in response to his gaze, then turned around and complained in his mind: [How embarrassing! I just said I wouldn't bother him anymore, but now we're meeting again after just a few days. Will he think I'm playing hard to get?]

Gu Huaichi: “…”

Noticing that both of them were looking at him, Mingnan felt uneasy and whispered, "There are chairs over there. You can sit down and wait."

No one moved.

There was an awkward silence in the air.

Mingnan felt a little suffocated. Her hands moved quickly and soon a bouquet of pink roses was ready. She handed it to Mu Yanshan and said, "Your mother will definitely be very happy."

Mu Yanshan looked at her two dimples and curled his lips, "Thank you."

Mingnan turned around to look for Baiju. Seeing this, Gu Huaichi hurriedly followed him and asked, "Mingnan, what did you mean by what you said that day? Why did you delete all my contact information?"

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

Mingnan kept working and said in a normal tone, "It's what I sent you."

She wrapped the chrysanthemums and stood up to look at him, saying seriously, "Before, I liked you and did a lot of impolite things. I'm sorry that I caused you trouble."

"Now that I've figured it out, I still can't treat you normally, so I think it's better not to contact you anymore. It's best to take care of each other in the future. What do you think?"

Gu Huai was stunned for a long time, "Have you really figured it out?"

Mingnan nodded, his tone firm and his eyes calm, "Yes."

Gu Huaichi was confused again.

"Did something happen to you? Or did someone say something to you? That's what you wanted to talk about when you asked me to go to the lounge that day?"

"Yes, I wanted you to come over and explain it to me, but I felt a little unwell at the time, so I went to the bathroom. When I came back, I didn't see you, so I left. I'm sorry you made such a wasted trip."

Mingnan handed him the white chrysanthemum and said, "Mr. Gu, please keep your flowers."

Gu Huaichi lowered his eyes and looked at Bai Ju, his heart in turmoil.

Seeing him like this, Mingnan sighed in his heart, "Gu Huaichi, ah Gu Huaichi, it's no wonder Ming Huaishu didn't agree to you. When will you change your sentimental nature?"

Her arms were sore from lifting them, and she was considering whether to force the bouquet into Gu Huaichi's arms, when a slender hand reached out from behind, grabbed the bouquet, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you."

Mingnan immediately flexed his wrist and gave him a grateful smile.

Mu Yanshan stuffed the flowers into Gu Huaichi's arms, took out his phone and said, "I'll pay. Can I scan the code?"

"Okay, here—"

Mingnan led him to the QR code and told him how much it was. Mu Yanshan scanned the code quickly. After scanning, Mingnan thought he was leaving, but he suddenly turned around and asked, "Do you remember my cell phone number?"

Mingnan was stunned and nodded subconsciously.

The corners of Mu Yanshan's lips slightly bent down and his lips were tightly pursed.

I remember that, so I didn't want to call him.

He stopped talking, turned around and pulled Gu Huaichi, who wanted to say something, away.

After going out, Mu Yanshan stood by the car and looked back at the sign of the flower shop - Ruyue Flower Shop.

As promised, as promised, but unfortunately I hired someone who doesn't keep his promise.

After getting in the car, Gu Huaichi sat in the co-pilot seat and asked in confusion: "Do you think Mingnan meant what he said?"

Mu Yanshan started the car and drove into the traffic, and asked expressionlessly: "What if it's true? What if it's fake?"

Hearing that his tone was not right, Gu Huai glanced at him and frowned, "Are you crazy?"

Mu Yanshan was startled and tightened his fingers on the steering wheel.

Gu Huaichi didn't think much about it, he lowered his eyes and said to himself: "When she pursued me, she was actually very tactful. I didn't feel annoyed, I just felt that she was a little introverted and sensitive, so I was always worried about her condition."

He looked out the window at the flower shop in the distance and smiled again, "But she seems to be a lot more cheerful now, and she looks very energetic."

I just don't know what the sound he heard before was.

He wanted to ask Mu Yanshan, but he felt that it was too strange to talk about it. He was afraid that he would be ridiculed for reading too many reports and becoming delusional.

After much thought, Gu Huaichi decided to go to the flower shop to confirm it when he had time.

*

Mingnan stood at the door and watched them leave. He asked in confusion: [205, did you think Mu Yanshan had a strange look in his eyes before he left?]

205: [Really? No, don't think too much. I think he is still as handsome as ever.]

Mingnan: [Really?]

205: [Don’t you think he’s handsome? ]

Mingnan turned around, tidied up the flowers that he had just messed up, and nodded.

Maybe she really thought too much.

She stopped worrying about it and focused on her own business, only secretly praying that Gu Huaichi would not come again. She didn't want to have too much interaction with the protagonists, as the protagonists meant constant trouble.

However, imagination is beautiful, but reality is just a skeleton.

Give people a scare from time to time.

This encounter happened a week ago, and the flower shop suddenly received a call.

It was another store clerk named Tang Su who answered the phone. Mingnan was changing the water in the crystal vases in the store when he suddenly heard her calling him, "Nannan, someone is looking for you—"

Mingnan was stunned and pointed at himself: "Looking for me?"

Who would call her at the florist's shop?
