Han Zhuoling’s frown between his brows was deep enough to trap the flies inside the eatery .
Hearing Shi Xiaoya use “nin”[1] made him even more glum inside .
“Are we that distant?” Han Zhuoling asked in a low voice .
Shi Xiaoya paused and blinked, questioning silently, were they that close, then?
As if knowing what she was thinking, Han Zhuoling tightened his lips . “Would I send flowers to a mere acquaintance?”
He sounded like he was pouting .
The sentence made Shi Xiaoya speechless .
Guo Yujie retreated three steps, standing at an angle particularly suited for watching gossip unfold . Her eyes shone like a hunter, flicking between Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling .
When Xiao Zhang appeared like a tagalong to their office to send the daily flowers to Shi Xiaoya, she was already considering whether Han Zhuoling was harboring feelings for Shi Xiaoya and was wooing her .
Though both of them had fought and had a misunderstanding…
There were so many other ways to apologize . Why did Han Zhuoling choose the method used for courting girls?
No matter how Guo Yujie looked at it, Han Zhuoling was wooing Shi Xiaoya for sure .
Hearing Han Zhuoling’s tone now, Guo Yujie understood everything in a flash .
She quickly ducked to a corner to conceal her laughter and focus on the scene unfolding before her .
She was severely tempted to drag out a table to eat and watch at the same time .
Just as she was thinking this, she glanced inside the shop and saw Han Zhuoli grab Lu Man’s hand . They then slowly shifted towards the entrance, found themselves a suitable position to watch—one where Han Zhuoling couldn’t spot them—and sat .
While Lu Man was being pulled by Han Zhuoli, she grasped a bunch of seeds the lady boss had given for free .
The couple was now chewing on seeds while watching the drama unfold . [2]
Guo Yujie: “…”
The rich are smart . She had lost .
Shi Xiaoya’s face was burning . She knew Han Zhuoling probably meant nothing with his words, but they sounded so ambiguous when spoken out loud, like there was something between them .
“…” But at least Shi Xiaoya knew that the flowers were ordered by Han Zhuoling himself, not something he mentioned in passing and decided on by his subordinates .
“I wanted to say, the flowers, you…” Shi Xiaoya began, and seeing Han Zhuoling frown, quickly changed her form of address, “you don’t need to send them anymore . It’s not a big deal anyway . It’s the thought that counts . There’s no need to waste your money anymore . ”
Han Zhuoling’s brows were still drawn . “Then you forgive me?”
“Yes,” Shi Xiaoya said detachedly . “It was just a misunderstanding . There’s nothing to forgive . Sorry for troubling you . ”
Han Zhuoling: “…”
How was this forgiving him?
Such politeness .
When they were filming, she never spoke to him in such a polite and distant manner .
“You said you’ve forgiven me, yet you speak to me like this?” Han Zhuoling asked with a raised brow .
His presence was so dominating, Shi Xiaoya automatically shrunk .
Shi Xiaoya was beyond resigned . Speak to him how?
Wasn’t she polite enough?
What else did he want?
“Then what attitude should I have?” Shi Xiaoya wanted to know desperately .
Han Zhuoling: “…”
The one she had when they were filming before—not being reserved and remote from him .
To smile at him, speak without holding back and joke with him .
Even hugging him in fright .
Hmm…
Han Zhuoling realized that he didn’t mind Shi Xiaoya doing those .
Shi Xiaoya knew what he was implying, but seeing that Han Zhuoling remained silent, she continued to play the fool .
