Shang Sizhan looked at Shi Qian with his unfathomable gaze and could roughly guess her thoughts.
“Don’t worry, I won’t go so far as to tear down your door at night. I have a spare key.”
A hint of awkwardness flashed across Shi Qian’s face. He had guessed her thoughts!
Shang Sizhan hooked her chin with his finger and raised it slightly. He said again, “I’ll remember this first. I’ll settle the score with you later.”
Shi Qian froze open-mouthed.
It was better to turn back than to be tortured continuously.
Shang Sizhan sent Shi Qian to school after breakfast before he headed to the company.
Two figures appeared at noon.
Imperial University.
Shi Qian and Wen Ke’er emerged from the teaching building and walked towards the square.
A man held 99 roses at this moment in the square and attracted the attention of several people.
“Who is that man looking for? He’s quite handsome.”
“He looks a little familiar, like… It’s Young Master Su from the Su family!” “Young Master Su! 1 remember now. He seems to know Shi Muxue. He even sent Shi Muxue to school previously! Could he be pursuing Shi Muxue?” “Looks like it!”
“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shi Muxue’s identity is different now that her mother has taken over, although she’s the daughter of a mistress,”
Not long after, Shi Muxue appeared and immediately noticed Su Jinxuan and the roses he held.
“Brother Xuan, why are you here?”
Su Jinxuan stood before Shi Muxue with 99 roses in his hands. He chuckled and said, “I happened to pass by nearby and saw a flower shop of pretty good flowers, so 1 wanted to buy them for you. I heard that flowers can heal your mood.”
Shi Muxue looked at the roses and asked gently, “But why are they roses?”
“I think roses look good, so 1 bought them,” Su Jinxuan said. “Xue’er, don’t you like roses?”
Shi Muxue did not say anything. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be shy.
She pondered about what to do with this guy.
Several people watched the two in school. It would be equivalent to accepting Su Jinxuan’s pursuit if she took Su Jinxuan’s roses in front of so many people.
It would be inappropriate for her to get close to others she truly liked in the future.
However, it would be too disrespectful to him if she rejected Su Jinxuan in front of so many people. She already had declined Su Jinxuan several times. He would finally give up on her If she did again this time. It would be disadvantageous to her.
Shi Muxue remained at a loss for words. Su Jinxuan could sense Shi Muxue struggled with whether to accept the flowers. Su Jinxuan said, “Xue’er, don’t you like flowers?”
“It’s not that.” Shi Muxue thought for a long time before she whispered, “Brother Xuan, there are so many people watching. I’m a little embarrassed. Moreover, this is a school. I don’t have a dormitory, so I don’t have a place to put these flowers.”
Su Jinxuan sounded disappointed. “Alright, I understand.”
Shi Muxue could hear the disappointment in his tone. That could mean Su Jinxuan would finally give up her. She whispered, “Brother Xuan, can you take these flowers first and give them to me when you pick me up in the afternoon? I’ll… Take them home.”
‘Take them home!’
Su Jinxuan’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
He realized Shi Muxue used all sorts of reasons to reject him.
It turned out that she was just embarrassed.
She was such an innocent girl. To receive flowers in public would embarrass her.
He looked around and said apologetically, “Xue’er, I didn’t think much about it through. 1 failed to consider this mindless gesture would embarrass you as a girl. 1’11 pick you up in the afternoon.”
Shi Muxue nodded. “Thank you, Brother Xuan..”
