Chapter 231: He Followed Them All the Way_1
“Sure, we can invite Xu Man and others; we could all go skiing together to make it more lively. ”
“Okay, set the time for today.”
“Sure.” Yan Yue nodded with a big smile on his face.
At that moment, a waiter wheeled over a food cart. It wasn’t Jian Yufei serving them but a male waiter.
Yan Yue thought to himself, she must be too ashamed to see them and decided to hide.
Jian Yufei indeed hid but not because she was ashamed. She just didn’t want to meet them. She went to help in the kitchen, refraining from going to the front of the restaurant.
Ruan Tianling and Yan Yue took an hour for lunch, and Jian Yufei didn’t show up during the period. After eating, they paid and left, forgetting about her existence.
When Jian Yufei came out of the kitchen and didn’t see them, she couldn’t help but sigh a breath of relief.
After a busy day, she finished work at seven in the evening. She and Xiao Lang were the last to leave the restaurant. He drove her home, and along the way, he stopped at a florist and asked her to wait for a while.
Jian Yufei saw him get out of the car and buy a bouquet of lilies in the flower shop, then returned to the car with the flowers.
She thought he bought the flowers for some woman, but when Xiao Lang got back in the car, he handed her the flowers.
“These are for you.” He gave her a light smile.
Jian Yufei was surprised, “For me?”
“Yeah, it’s your first day at work. This is a gift for you to wish you more success in your job.”
“Thank you.” She smiled, accepting the pure white lilies. She smelled the tender flowers and they smelt lovely.
“Do you like them?” Xiao Lang asked her.
Jian Yufei nodded energetically, “I love them.”
This was the first bouquet she’d ever received, naturally she loved them. Holding the lilies carefully, Jian Yufei felt very content.
She felt her life wasn’t all that gloomy and desolate, indeed flowers have a way of brightening up one’s mood.
When the car reached her apartment, she invited Xiao Lang upstairs for tea. He accepted her invitation without hesitation.
She got out of the car and looked up at him, his tall and handsome figure next to her slender beauty, with her holding a bouquet of lilies, they looked like a golden pair.
Laughing and talking in the night, they walked towards Jian Yufei’s building, completely oblivious to a car parked not too far away, a man inside whose eyes were as dark as the night watching them.
Ruan Tianling didn’t know what had come over him. After work, on his way home, he deliberately took a detour past the ‘Wandering’ French Restaurant.
He saw Jian Yufei getting into Xiao Lang’s car. He followed them all the way and watched as Xiao Lang bought flowers for Jian Yufei from a roadside flower shop and now he saw them both going upstairs together.
Ruan Tianling’s eyes were dark as he lit a cigarette and held it between his fingers, not taking a puff.
He didn’t understand why he was still here when he should be driving home, ignoring them, after all, their matters were none of his business.
But he couldn’t help but worry that Xiao Lang might have unsavory intentions towards Jian Yufei.
Jian Yufei is a divorcee without anything to her name. If a man as perfect as Xiao Lang keeps showing up and helping her, according to his hypothesis, he must have an ulterior motive.
What exactly is he after?
When Jian Yufei got divorced, the Ruan family gave her a generous alimony and ten percent of the company’s shares. Could Xiao Lang be after that?
There are all kinds of people in this world. Despite Xiao Lang’s good looks and behavior, it could all be just deception.
