Chapter 630: He Doesn’t Deserve Your Affection
Shi Nuan habitually set the flowers aside.
Originally, she had held them in her arms, but as Meng Zhi continued to bring her red roses, white jasmines, and cappuccinos, her arms could no longer contain them all, forcing her to place them to the side.
Relieved as Meng Zhi sat down, Shi Nuan asked with a puzzled expression, “Why did you suddenly buy so many flowers? Are you planning to research opening a flower shop?”
Meng Zhi shook his head and denied, “No.”
“Then why?” Shi Nuan inquired further.
Meng Zhi gazed at her intently and softly replied, “They’re for you.”
After his words fell, he looked towards the pile of flowers and asked, “Nuannuan, do you like any of these?”
Shi Nuan nodded enthusiastically, “Of course, each of these flowers is so beautiful; I like them all!”
Meng Zhi’s eyes brightened at her smile, and the next second, he suddenly remembered something and asked softly, “Do you like them more than the ones that person gave you?”
Caught off guard by Meng Zhi’s words, Shi Nuan responded with confusion, “Which person?”
“That person,” Meng Zhi said.
Still not understanding his meaning, Shi Nuan was about to say, “No one other than my family and Daidai has given me flowers before,” and to tell Meng Zhi he was the first, but before she could speak, she saw Meng Zhi clench his fists, his teeth clenched in anger, “He didn’t even give you flowers!”
Taking a deep breath, Meng Zhi vowed, “Nuannuan, I will make sure to give you flowers every day from now on!”
Stunned, Shi Nuan nodded without asking why, as Meng Zhi quickly changed the subject.
Focused on her, Meng Zhi asked, “Nuannuan, how do I look today? Do I look handsomer than usual?”
Shi Nuan looked at him.
Meng Zhi had styled his hair with gel and was wearing a black suit with a tie, appearing very formal.
Meeting Meng Zhi’s expectant gaze, Shi Nuan earnestly replied, “You look very formal and charming today, but you are also handsome when you dress casually.”
Naturally handsome, Meng Zhi could pull off any look stylishly, and since Shi Nuan liked him, in her eyes, he was always the most handsome.
“Really?” Meng Zhi asked with a smile.
“Of course!” Shi Nuan affirmed.
Meng Zhi nodded, “Then I must be handsomer than that person!”
During their meal, Shi Nuan kept hearing about ‘that person’ from Meng Zhi, until she finally couldn’t resist asking, “Who is this person you keep mentioning?”
Meeting her puzzled gaze, Meng Zhi opened his mouth but couldn’t bring himself to say, “The person in your heart.”
He took a deep breath and softly said, “It doesn’t matter who he is. Nuannuan, since you already think I am better in every way, will you promise to only like me and not him?”
As Meng Zhi spoke, his voice carried a plea.
Unable to resist Meng Zhi’s tone, Shi Nuan nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
Satisfied with her response, Meng Zhi’s expression brightened.
As Shi Nuan sat in the car, she gradually came to her senses and realized there was something odd about Meng Zhi’s request to like only him. She took out her phone, thinking of asking Gu Dai what was going on.
After Meng Zhi parked at Shi Nuan’s house, he turned to her and softly said, “Nuannuan, we’re home.”
Shi Nuan responded, and the next second, she looked up at Meng Zhi with sparkling eyes.
Feeling a rush in his heart, Meng Zhi stuttered, “Nuannuan, what’s the matter?”
Shi Nuan softly asked, “Do you think I had a boyfriend before?”
Meng Zhi stiffened, then nodded, “Yes.”
With a light laugh, Shi Nuan gently shook her head, “I never had a boyfriend.”
Hearing this, Meng Zhi felt a surge of anger, not towards Shi Nuan, but towards that nonexistent person, filled with jealousy and rage.
Meng Zhi exclaimed, “How could he not like you?”
Confused, Shi Nuan paused, “What?”
Meng Zhi embraced Shi Nuan and said in a m.u.f.fled voice, “Nuannuan, you are kind, care for animals, and have compa.s.sion… His not liking you shows his lack of vision, and you shouldn’t like him either.. He doesn’t deserve your affection!”
