Song Xiaoxin was really something, if he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes today, he would have had a hard time believing that a woman who always acted so high and mighty, arrogant, and confident could feign such sentimentality!
Ou Linlin couldn’t help but get goosebumps all over her body and whispered in Ye Shu’s ear, "This woman is shameless. From the moment she entered the door until now, her eyes haven’t moved away from your husband. Just look at her dress and outfit, not to mention she’s the president of Beidou Group. No good intentions there..."
Ye Shu maintained the smile expected of a hostess and said to Sheng Kun and Song Xiaoxin, "Both of you, since my husband didn’t mention your visit to me beforehand, I was unable to prepare accordingly. Please forgive me if there’s any lack of hospitality."
After speaking, Ye Shu ordered the maid, "Go to the kitchen and prepare some refreshments to serve our guests."
"Yes, Young Lady!" Even the maid looked disapprovingly at Song Xiaoxin, and deliberately emphasized the words "Young Lady" as she passed by her.
However, Song Xiaoxin acted as if she hadn’t heard and smiled at Ye Shu, "So you’re the sister-in-law, right? It’s quite normal for Brother Chen not to tell you we’d be coming. After all, men who do big things tend to communicate less with housewives, due to the lack of common topics. If sister-in-law could do business like me, I believe things would be a lot better."
Ou Linlin immediately got angry and snorted coldly, "Our Ye Shu is not a housewife. Lately, it’s been Ah Chen taking care of everything."
Sheng Shaochen also joined in, "That’s right, my wife is pregnant, and I’ve been the one attending to her the most. Today, I especially didn’t want her to overexert herself, so I didn’t tell her."
Song Xiaoxin’s expression suddenly became a bit difficult to maintain, and she gave a forced smile, "Oh, is that so? In that case, Brother Chen is really a good man. I trust that heaven will definitely provide you with the best woman to spend your life with."
Just as she was speaking, Guan Jiu came back, with a big bunch of roses in hand!
Seeing this, Ou Linlin immediately became excited and said, "Wow, Ah Chen is really good to our Ye Shu, good to the point of no comparison. Such vibrant red roses, they’re enough to blind some people."
Ye Shu was also touched, thinking to herself when Mr. Sheng had become so high-profile to give her flowers in front of everyone at a gathering. She had always received blue lotuses in the past; roses were a first time.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Shaochen slightly frowned and asked, "Guan Jiu, what’s with these flowers?"
Guan Jiu replied, "Young Master, weren’t these flowers sent by the florist at your request? The delivery person just verified the address, and it’s definitely Shengjing Garden."
As Guan Jiu spoke, he looked towards Handsome B, "Could it be yours?"
Handsome B shook his head, thinking, could it really be—that would be just too shameless.
Recalling what Song Xiaoxin had said to him at the gym, he later thought that perhaps the woman was just being impulsive, that she wouldn’t really do something so crazy. But now, it seemed he had underestimated Song Xiaoxin’s moral bottom line!
Indeed, Song Xiaoxin stood up, walked over to Guan Jiu, and said, "Give them to me, I ordered the flowers!"
After speaking, she took the bunch of fiery red roses from Guan Jiu’s hands amidst everyone’s astonished gazes and walked directly to Sheng Shaochen, sweetly smiling as she offered the flowers, "Brother Chen, these are for you!"
