"Xiao Qiao, I..."

"Brother Zhou, you don't have to rush to answer. I have plenty of time to wait."

Having said this, Zhou Shuhuan didn't say anything more.

After dinner, the two took a walk around the restaurant. When they met a flower boy, Qiao Ya picked a flower and Zhou Shuhuan took the initiative to pay for it.

"Brother Zhou, watch out."

Zhou Shuhuan looked at the flowers Qiao Ya handed to him, a little confused, "What?"

"I like white roses, don't give the wrong ones next time."

Zhou Shuhuan remained silent.

Qiao Ya smiled softly, put the flower to her nose and sniffed it, and continued with a charming look, "I like its fragrance, it's very fresh and clean, and it makes me feel relaxed and happy when I smell it."

"Do you know what the white rose means? Pure and noble love."

Qiao Ya kept chattering all the way, like a lark.

For Zhou Shuhuan, this was a feeling of strangeness and novelty that he had never experienced before.

Although he and his ex-wife were in a free love relationship, his ex-wife came from a good family and had an arrogant and strong personality. She would lose her temper if things didn't go her way, so he had to coax her and give in to her all the time.

Therefore, when his ex-wife filed for divorce, he was not sad but felt relieved.

Not to mention Shen Baolan. When they first got married, he still had desires and ideas about her, but as they got to know each other better, all he felt was disgust and aversion towards Shen Baolan.

Qiao Ya is different from them. She admires him and is willing to share everything in her heart with him.

After shopping, Zhou Shuhuan drove Qiao Ya home.

When they arrived at the door of her house, Qiao Ya was not in a hurry to get out of the car, but looked at him warmly, "Brother Zhou, do you know how I feel now?"

Zhou Shuhuan shook his head.

How could he know what the little girl was thinking, just like he didn't understand why Qiao Ya would fall for an old man like him.

"It's like Cinderella after the dinner, it's time to take off her crystal shoes and return to reality."

"The reason why the prince was able to find Cinderella later was because Cinderella left him a crystal shoe."

"So, I was thinking, I should leave something for you so you can find me later."

After saying that, in front of Zhou Shuhuan's astonished gaze, Qiao Ya leaned over and kissed him on the lips.

This was my first kiss.

Qiao Ya had been off the car for quite some time, but Zhou Shuhuan couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and the words she left before getting off the car kept echoing in his ears.

The girl's youth, innocence and inexperience are like the temptation of fresh meat to a wolf.

Make him irresistible.

…

The next day, after personally sending Liu Cuihua to the train back to Fengcheng, Zhou Shuhuan drove to the jewelry store.

After leaving the jewelry store, Zhou Shuhuan drove back to the factory.

"Brother Zhou."

Qiao Ya was sitting in her office. When she saw him coming, she stood up and greeted him as usual, but upon closer inspection, there seemed to be something different.

Maybe his state of mind is different.

He always felt that Qiao Ya was particularly pleasing to the eye today, with a faint fragrance on her body that made his heart flutter.

"Here, for you."

Qiao Ya looked at the brand logo on the handbag, surprised and asked, "Is it for me?"

"Um."

Zhou Shuhuan tried his best to conceal his inner restlessness and walked into the office.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Ya followed him into the office, closed the door, and pulled up the blinds.

The office instantly became a small, enclosed space.

In front of Zhou Shuhuan, Qiao Ya opened the jewelry box and took out the platinum necklace inside.

It sparkles under the light.

“So beautiful.”

"As long as you like it."

Qiao Ya tilted her head and looked at him. "I like it, but why did you give it to me? I don't accept gifts without any reason."

Zhou Shuhuan replied that he was expressing his gratitude, thanking Lady Qiao Ya for not taking his fault seriously and letting Shen Baolan and her daughter go.

This answer obviously made Qiao Ya dissatisfied.

"I don't want it."

She stuffed the necklace into Zhou Shuhuan's hand, turned around and was about to open the door to go out.

Zhou Shuhuan stretched out his hand to hold the door, and said in a flattering and intimate tone, "Can you please stop making trouble?"

Qiao Ya turned around and looked at him with a victorious smile on her face.

"Then help me put it on."

"Um."

Zhou Shuhuan carefully put the necklace around her slender white neck.

"Brother Zhou, do you know what giving a woman a necklace means?"

"have no idea."

Qiao Ya pinched the pendant on her chest and said with a smile: "The necklace represents love. I understand your feelings for me."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out without giving Zhou Shuhuan a chance to speak.

Zhou Shuhuan could have chased after him to explain, but he didn't.

He was never the kind of person who could remain calm even when a beautiful woman offered her tempting offer. He just had no interest in Shen Baolan.

In the young and beautiful Qiao Ya, he seemed to have regained his masculine impulse and passion.

Most importantly, Joya was helpful to his career.

He knew his actions were not upright, but he didn't think he was wrong.

No one cares about your hard work; people only look at the results.

Sending Liu Cuihua back to Fengcheng was a plan that killed three birds with one stone.

Under the pretext of begging for mercy, he went on a date with Qiao Ya alone, and played the victim under the influence of alcohol to win her consent.

The naive little white rabbit was easier to trick than he imagined and easily fell into the big net he had carefully woven.

Sending Liu Cuihua away was to eliminate the obstacles and spies around.

He was fed up with Shen Baolan and desperately wanted to get rid of this burden who was only holding him back, and Qiao Ya was his knife.

…

"Look how happy you are. He couldn't even bear to buy you a real diamond, so he just used a broken stone to fool you."

Qiao Ya pinched the pendant on her chest and retorted unconvincedly: "Aunt, don't compare everyone to uncle. He always spends thousands or tens of thousands of dollars. Shuheng is a frugal person. He won't even throw away a pair of socks with holes. In comparison, he is quite generous to me. This necklace costs more than a thousand dollars."

Qiao Limei was annoyed, "You're protecting me now? He's an old man who's been married for the second time. I don't know what you like about him. You've been eating too much bran and you have to chew coarse grains. Don't come to me if you regret it in the future."

"He is only ten years older than me. Your uncle is seven years older than you, and you are both doing well, aren't you? A man is in his prime at 31. Shuhuan is in his prime and has the ability. With your uncle's help, he will achieve a lot in the future."

"You have thought long-term for him, but has he thought long-term for you? Don't be too happy. He has a family now, and that woman is not someone who can be easily dealt with."

Qiao Ya showed contempt on her face. "She's just an idiot. I just found someone to say a few words in front of them, and she came to pick a fight with me in a hurry."

On the surface, the loss of the contract was Shen Baolan's own fault.

In fact, from the sense of crisis that Liu Cuihua and her daughter felt towards her female secretary, to Shen Baolan accidentally hearing the methods the original wife used to deal with the mistress, it was all directed by her.

Zhou Shuhuan thought she was a naive little white rabbit.

Little do people know that high-end hunters often appear as prey. (End of this chapter)
