316: Chapter 316 [The First Time Receiving Flowers from a Boy] First Update!
First update!
The next day, everything seemed to have returned to normal.
However, Chu Qingfei was extremely frustrated.
She was on the brink of harvesting sweet love, but in the end, she could only watch as love slipped through her fingers, transforming from a prospective girlfriend back to a little auntie all at once.
Chu Qingfei was furious!
Unbelievably furious!
Fortunately, Ye Chenfeng still ended up staying in Jiangnan, and with encounters both when they looked up and looked down, opportunities were plentiful.
Swearing to make a comeback, Chu Qingfei’s mood gradually improved.
After a night’s adjustment, Ye Chenfeng also recovered considerably, which left Chu Qingxue full of suspicions.
The old master Chu Renkuang always had a smile on his face; this was the outcome he had most hoped to see: Chu Qingxue had come back to life, and Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue had gotten back together.
However, if he knew that all this was a plot set up by Chu Qingxue, who knows if he would have coughed up blood.
Another day passed, and Ye Chenfeng also went back to work as usual.
“Should I buy a bouquet?” Passing by a flower shop, Ye Chenfeng bought a bouquet of blue enchantress.
After all, Chu Qingxue had said she would give him a chance to pursue her, so giving a little gift or something, to enhance their feelings, couldn’t be wrong.
“Hello!” Ye Chenfeng greeted the receptionist with a wave upon arriving at Chu Corporation.
“Assistant Ye?”
The receptionist recognized Ye Chenfeng immediately, as they had not seen him for quite a long time.
However, today Ye Chenfeng came holding roses, which made the wait worthwhile.
“Hello!”
What made her feel like collapsing, though, was that Ye Chenfeng just waved his hand and went straight to the elevator.
Could it be that the roses in his hand weren’t for her?
“Hello, you’ve reached Chu Corporation, yes, I am Secretary Gu Jundie for President Chu…” Gu Jundie was actively working at her post.
“Okay, goodbye!”
Just as Gu Jundie had just finished a phone call, a pair of large hands covered her eyes.
“Fancy a date, beauty?” Sitting across the desk with his hands over Gu Jundie’s eyes, Ye Chenfeng asked in a somewhat shrill voice.
“Date your sister!”
Gu Jundie had a fiery temper; the moment Ye Chenfeng’s voice fell, she felt a tremendous force on her arm, and her strong back managed to push Ye Chenfeng away all at once.
“Hm?”
A look of surprise flashed in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes as he regarded Gu Jundie with a deep gaze.
“Is that you, Ye Chenfeng?
You shameless rascal!” When Gu Jundie clearly saw that it was Ye Chenfeng, she couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.
“How am I a rascal, little butterfly?” Ye Chenfeng said, smiling at her.
Gu Jundie glanced at the rose in Ye Chenfeng’s hand, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to bring my wife flowers!
And also to go to work!” Ye Chenfeng declared righteously but then looked at Gu Jundie, “Forget it, I’ll give you one too.
I bet it’s the first time little butterfly has received a flower from a man, right?”
Ye Chenfeng actually forced a rose into Gu Jundie’s hand, and he was right—this was indeed the first flower that Gu Jundie had ever received.
She had lived for over twenty years and never before had a boy given Gu Jundie flowers, yet today a man sent them—though they were from Ye Chenfeng, Gu Jundie was stunned.
“Bye, and oh, this wave-colored one is nice, with lace trim.
If it were hollowed-out, it would be even better,” Ye Chenfeng added just before leaving.
“You…”
Gu Jundie, her hand on her chest, stood there foolishly, her pretty face, previously the color of frost, now replaced by a blush.
It was the first time anyone had seen Gu Jundie blush, and some employees even peeked from secret spots, buzzing with discussion at her looking like this.
“Squeak!”
Ye Chenfeng didn’t knock but went straight into Chu Qingxue’s office.
“Honey…”
With a bouquet of roses in hand, Ye Chenfeng energetically appeared inside the office, but the word “wife” was cut short after just the “hon-” as he suddenly froze in place.
Because in Chu Qingxue’s office, he saw not just Chu Qingxue but also a person he did not wish to see or face: Qiu Muran.
“Oh, Director Qiu, you’re here too?”
After a moment of surprise, Ye Chenfeng finally spoke, a hint of embarrassment in his eyes—after all, Ye Chenfeng was human, not a god or anything.
“Hm?
Ye Chenfeng, you actually came to work?
I thought you weren’t coming today!” Qiu Muran’s shocked face quickly blossomed into a smile, but inwardly she added, “Just as I suspected, no different from what I guessed.
You even brought roses, Ye Chenfeng, you really do have designs on Chu Qingxue!
Just now, you probably wanted to say ‘wife,’ didn’t you?
“What are you doing?”
Chu Qingxue cast a glance at Ye Chenfeng.
Qiu Muran had just arrived not long ago, and here he was, arriving with roses.
Chu Qingxue felt somewhat embarrassed; she knew that Ye Chenfeng and Qiu Muran had an unusual relationship, and now that roses were involved, the atmosphere grew even more awkward.
Ye Chenfeng was the picture of awkwardness: “I came to give flowers, no, I mean I came to work!”
“Here, President Chu, these are for you!
Director Qiu, these are for you!
I passed by the flower shop on my way here, and they were giving away free flowers, so I took a few bunches!”
Ye Chenfeng handed out the roses to Chu Qingxue and Qiu Muran.
“President Chu, may I ask something I probably shouldn’t, are you getting married to Ye Chenfeng?” Qiu Muran’s gaze flickered as she stared at Chu Qingxue and Ye Chenfeng.
Chu Qingxue smiled faintly, “It should be soon, and when it happens, we will definitely invite you to the wedding banquet!”
“Then congratulations to you both!
I haven’t prepared any gift, so let me give you a kiss!” Without any warning, Qiu Muran planted a kiss on Chu Qingxue’s cheek.
I want to kiss too, Ye Chenfeng fantasized, when Qiu Muran leisurely approached him, “Ye Chenfeng, should I give you a kiss too?
Mwah…”
Ye Chenfeng was utterly dumbfounded, Qiu Muran actually kissed him in front of Chu Qingxue.
Ye Chenfeng was flabbergasted, and so was Chu Qingxue.
Qiu Muran kissed just like that, claiming it was a wedding gift.
Did she actually want to kiss Ye Chenfeng?
Looking at the two of them, struck dumb, Qiu Muran added, “Oh, don’t worry, President Chu, there will definitely be other gifts.
I was just joking just now!”
Ye Chenfeng savored the warmth on his cheek, thinking to himself: such a joke could be played a few more times.
She was definitely showing off, undoubtedly a display of power!
At this moment, Chu Qingxue had already discerned some clues; Qiu Muran definitely had a thing with Ye Chenfeng, and now Qiu Muran had come to assert her rights.
“Alright, I’m busy now.
Murong, to celebrate signing this big deal, let Ye Chenfeng take you out to dinner,” Chu Qingxue said.
Ye Chenfeng: “…”.
He was speechless, clueless about Chu Qingxue’s intentions.
Qiu Muran nearly cheered, “Sure, I’m going to take Ye Chenfeng to the cleaners today!”
