Chapter 2588: Chapter 392:
In the office.
Bai Qingling watched Chu Junming’s handsome figure disappear at the doorway and pouted unhappily.
Ridiculous.
He’s the one attracting romance, not her making the company’s female staff fall for him.
Having captivated countless women, shouldn’t he be secretly delighted? Yet he pretends to be cold and aloof.
Feeling annoyed, Bai Qingling deliberately lingered in the office for about ten minutes before stepping out.
When she opened the door, the roses in Chu Junming’s hand had turned into a bouquet of lilies.
And his gaze was on a man near the elevator.
Bai Qingling looked at the flowers in Chu Junming’s hand and suddenly found it amusing.
Thinking someone had sent him flowers, she wondered if he’d still claim she lacks matchmaking skills. She clenched her fist and casually cleared her throat.
Chu Junming turned his head towards her.
Meeting his gaze, Bai Qingling raised her eyebrows, smiled, and walked towards him in high heels, her voice as crisp as a silver bell, "Swapping a bouquet of roses for lilies, Chu Junming, which beauty is being so romantic, sending you flowers?"
Isn’t sending flowers typically a man’s job?
When a woman pursues a man, shouldn’t she gift him ties, tie clips, belts, or something like that?
Thinking of this, the beauty sending flowers to Chu Junming truly seemed cute.
Chu Junming scoffed indifferently at Bai Qingling’s bright smile.
Under her clearly amused gaze, he calmly waited for her to approach, watching him with a teasing expression.
He smirked.
His smile was enigmatic.
"Let me see who sent it."
Seeing him mute and with a strange expression, Bai Qingling thought he might also be upset about receiving flowers.
When he’s upset, her mood brightens.
Without caring for Chu Junming’s consent, she extended her slender fingers and middle finger to pinch the card.
Chu Junming still didn’t speak.
He was just looking at her inexplicably.
The smile on his lips deepened with some extra meaning.
Bai Qingling first looked at the name instead of the love note written to Chu Junming, curious which company employee had sent him the flowers.
An unexpected surprise.
"Jian Ye... Does our company have someone like this..." Bai Qingling read the name aloud and then looked at Chu Junming with a puzzled expression.
Facing Chu Junming’s meaningful gaze, her heart suddenly skipped a beat.
A rush of heat surged.
She felt embarrassed, wishing she could dig a hole and hide.
Jian Ye?
Wasn’t that the man she had picked up at the airport the other day? Then she had sent him back to the hotel?
She actually forgot about this person.
Thought it was Chu Junming’s admirer.
Oh my, such a big loss of face.
Looking at Chu Junming again, laughter began to ripple from those dark jade-like eyes, the smile at his lips deepening uncontrollably.
"Chu Junming, you’re so hateful."
Bai Qingling, ridiculed by him, glared at him angrily.
This man watched her misunderstanding, watched her make a fool of herself, he must think she looks like a fool performing in front of him.
How could there be a man so black-hearted?
Chu Junming laughed innocently, "You misunderstood me, how did I become hateful?"
Bai Qingling grabbed the lilies from his hand, walked a few steps, and threw them into the trash bin.
Behind her, Chu Junming’s lips curved into a pleasant arc, his voice clear and delightful, "The flowers are innocent, don’t take it out on them. If you don’t like them, you could have given them to another colleague."
"Who told you to sign for me?"
After throwing the flowers, Bai Qingling turned back to question Chu Junming.
Chu Junming remained unfazed, his smile unaltered, explaining leisurely, "You seemed bothered upon receiving the flowers earlier, so I signed for you to prevent this bouquet from affecting your mood. I planned to have it distributed elsewhere, but then you came out."
A flame of anger had nowhere to vent inside Bai Qingling, raising her chin coldly, she said, "Who said my mood would be affected? Maybe the person sending the flowers is someone I like, and I actually like the flowers they sent."
Chu Junming slightly lowered his eyes, as if in reflection.
Yet the smile on his lips was evident enough to pile frustration onto Bai Qingling.
Looking up again, he serenely analyzed for her with his gentle voice, "If I’m not mistaken, this Jian Ye is the man you and Qinghuan went to the airport to pick up that day. After sending him away from Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion not long after, Mo Ziye called you, and you were already home."
"..."
Bai Qingling took a deep breath.
The chin she raised showed defiance.
A look of so what on her face.
Chu Junming chuckled, "This means, you went home after sending him off, you weren’t love-struck at first sight. Since it wasn’t love at first sight, it’s unlikely for feelings to develop in just two days. And the facts prove my point too – when you saw his name earlier, you couldn’t recall who this mysterious figure is."
"You’re the mysterious figure, your whole family is mysterious figures."
Bai Qingling interrupted Chu Junming.
Even if she wasn’t love-struck at first sight or developed feelings over time for Jian Ye.
At least Jian Ye didn’t irritate her like the man in front of her.
On what grounds did he call the other a mysterious figure?
"Qingling, why are you angered by a stranger? If you like flowers, I’ll buy a few bouquets to compensate you later. If a similar situation happens again, I’ll make sure you sign for it personally instead of me."
"That sender really lacks responsibility."
Bai Qingling said angrily.
Didn’t even make sure they reached her, gave them to just anyone and left.
"I asked him to give them to me. Let’s go to the lab first."
Chu Junming, in good spirits, extended his hand with a gesture of invitation.
Bai Qingling glared at him again.
Acting as if she’s a monkey, and laughing.
"Have you prepared the wedding gift money?"
She suddenly asked.
Chu Junming blinked, smiled, and nodded, "Prepared. Will give them the day of big brother and big sister-in-law’s wedding."
"Sister Momo and Sister Tongtong are getting married together, I can’t just give one gift. Since you watched me perform earlier, shouldn’t you..."
"No problem."
Before she finished speaking, Chu Junming readily agreed, "Second brother and big brother are holding their weddings on the same day. You can’t play favorites. I’ll cover both, and let’s forget the earlier unpleasantness, how’s that?"
"Two gifts means two billion."
Bai Qingling worried Chu Junming might end up giving less.
He’s such a crafty businessman, always looking for loopholes.
Chu Junming raised an eyebrow, "You don’t trust me?"
"Why should I trust you."
As she finished speaking, her wrist suddenly caught by a large hand, the man’s warmth burning her to a halt.
Even before she could speak, his deep voice said, "Let’s go back to the office, I’ll write you an IOU."
"Don’t pull me."
Bai Qingling was pulled back to the office by Chu Junming, struggling, and shouting for him to let go.
Chu Junming released her, striding towards her desk, "You write it or should I?"
Meaning that if she didn’t come over, he’d be touching her stuff.
"Never seen someone as much a fool with money as you." Bai Qingling followed, picking up pen and paper, before beginning she asked Chu Junming, "Doesn’t two billion mean nothing to you? Just how rich are you?"
