Chapter 132 Take whatever you want, don't be shy.
Outside the villa, Lin Ran placed the words she was holding on the door and tiptoed inside.
The quietness inside the room reassured her considerably.
It seems Xiao Jingchen hasn't gone home yet, so she probably doesn't need to explain anything anymore.
The thought had barely crossed my mind when I looked up and saw Xiao Jingchen sitting on the sofa.
The man tilted his head, a smile playing on his lips.
However, Lin Ran inexplicably felt a pang of guilt and stiffly raised her hand to greet him.
Hey, what are you doing sitting here?
Xiao Jingchen looked up, his gaze lingered on her for a moment, and then he lowered his head again.
"Well, I just had dinner with Xiao Yunsi. He's helped me a lot before, so I felt bad refusing him..."
Lin Ran didn't know why she had to explain, but she felt much lighter after saying those words.
Where are the flowers?
Xiao Jingchen wore a smile, but if someone looked closely, they would notice a cold glint in his dark eyes.
"I threw the flowers away."
Lin Ran was stunned for a few seconds before she realized what Xiao Jingchen was asking, and hurriedly began to explain.
Looking at Xiao Jingchen's profile, her lips moved a few times, but she didn't say anything, only lowered her head.
"Yes, it's better to throw the trash in the trash can."
Xiao Jingchen said slowly, tossing the newspaper in his hand onto the coffee table before getting up and going upstairs.
Lin Ran stood there pondering the meaning of his words. After a while, she suddenly ran out of the house and threw the flowers by the door into the trash can.
After finishing all this, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and clapped her hands.
Xiao Jingchen shouldn't be angry now, right?
In the study on the second floor, Xiao Jingchen opened the window and took in everything Lin Ran had just done, a gentle smile on his lips.
The next morning, Lin Ran hitched a ride with Xiao Jingchen to the company, just like the previous days. Although the two of them still didn't talk much in the car, she could clearly sense that the man next to her seemed to be in a good mood.
"You like roses?"
Suddenly, Xiao Jingchen spoke up, and Lin Ran lost her grip, dropping her phone. Thinking of the bouquet of roses Xiao Yunsi had given her yesterday, she shook her head vigorously.
"I don't like it, I don't like it at all. I hate pink roses the most."
Clearly, Xiao Jingchen had misunderstood something. He nodded but didn't say anything more, only tapping his phone a few times with a serious expression.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Lin Ran couldn't wait to get out and ran upstairs without looking back.
What a joke! Sitting next to Xiao Jingchen feels like being in a refrigerator; even if you're dressed warmly, you can't withstand it.
No matter what happens on the road, work must continue as normal.
Lin Ran frowned as she looked at the documents in front of her, focusing intently on her work.
"Is Miss Lin here? There's something of yours!"
A somewhat familiar voice rang out, and everyone in the office looked up at the same time, including Lin Ran.
Looking at the man in the yellow work uniform, Lin Ran felt a sudden sense of unease.
Sure enough, the guy spoke up the next second.
"Ms. Lin, this is your bouquet. Please come and sign for it."
Lin Ran felt resistant.
This was no bouquet of flowers to her; it was a deadly bomb!
This Xiao Yunsi, he's such a considerate person, why is he going against her this time?
Subconsciously, Lin Ran also attributed the source of the bouquet of flowers to Xiao Yunsi.
Despite her inner resistance, Lin Ran still walked over step by step and signed her name.
When the deliveryman took out the bouquet of flowers, Lin Ran was stunned.
She had never seen roses in so many colors before—purple, white, and even black…
No, it seems there's no pink this time.
Holding the flowers in her arms, Lin Ran returned to her office, where she was greeted by the gossipy gazes of everyone.
"Hey, Lin Ran, someone's sending you flowers again. Could it be that our CEO Xiao ordered them for you?"
"That's right, we've never even seen roses in so many colors before."
Lin Ran's heart skipped a beat, and she smiled somewhat guiltily.
She dared not tell her colleagues that the flowers were not a gift from Xiao Jingchen, but rather the work of his younger brother, Xiao Yunsi.
"Well, since you all like them, why don't you each take some?"
Thinking that she would just throw the flowers in the trash if she brought them home, Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a little sorry for them.
Hearing her say that, her colleagues exchanged glances, seemingly still somewhat hesitant.
Lin Ran placed the flowers in the middle and waved her hand with a flourish.
"Don't be shy, take whichever one you like."
"It's just a bouquet of flowers, no need to be so nervous!"
"That's true. What do these few flowers mean to President Xiao?"
"In that case, we won't stand on ceremony!"
Several female colleagues immediately gathered together, chattering away as they chose their favorite colors.
Lin Ran took one last look and, as if possessed, pulled out a white rose.
Taking just one flower, Xiao Jingchen and Ying'ai won't say anything, right?
Lin Ran blinked guiltily, took the flowers, and returned to her seat.
Unbeknownst to everyone in the secretariat, Zhou Qing was watching everything happening inside the room with a tense expression from a corner outside the door.
Even after arriving at the office, Zhou Qing's expression remained somewhat unpleasant.
"Mr. Xiao, Madam has brought those flowers..."
Zhou Qing opened his mouth, unsure how to describe it, until the air in the room grew colder and colder, then he closed his eyes, looking as if he were ready to die.
"The lady distributed the bouquet of flowers to her colleagues!"
Click.
A snapping sound rang out in the quiet office. Zhou Qing looked over and caught a glimpse of the pen that Xiao Jingchen had broken.
"Go and bring her here."
Xiao Jingchen spoke slowly and deliberately, his gentle smile completely disappearing, his slender index finger tapping lightly on the table, carrying a hint of urging.
Zhou Qing's heart tightened, and she silently prayed for Lin Ran.
Generally speaking, if Mr. Xiao makes this gesture, it means he is very angry.
No, to be precise, I'm extremely, extremely angry!
Lin Ran was completely unaware of all this, and even felt that what she had just done was absolutely right, so she followed Zhou Qing without any suspicion.
"Well, Madam, you can go in directly. I won't go over there. I have some things to take care of."
"it is good."
Lin Ran nodded and pushed open the door to go inside.
As soon as she stepped into the office, she shivered from the cold and frowned as she looked up at the air conditioner.
Why is the office so cold? Did you just turn on the air conditioning?
Lost in thought, Lin Ran didn't notice Xiao Jingchen's expression. When she finally looked over, she was met with the surging anger in the man's eyes.
