Chapter 912: The Meaning of Flowers
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“You f*cking b.i.t.c.h, you dare to ask me?” Liu Ting said formidably, “You did not even tell me when you had a boyfriend, and I have to tell you?”
“I…” Chen Mengyan was speechless after being pointed out by Liu Ting. She was embarra.s.sed to tell Liu Ting that she had a boyfriend. Although they often talked on the phone, the most they spoke about was each other’s current situation, but it did not involve the relations.h.i.+p aspect.
“I did not tell you because I think that among the few sisters, you have the latest development. You should be the one who grows up the latest. How would I imagine that you have your boyfriend in your freshman year? Maybe you got close with him during high school, right?” Liu Ting stared at Chen Mengyan’s face and said jokingly.
Chen Mengyan suddenly blushed hearing Liu Ting’s words. When she was in the cinema in high school, she helped Yang Ming to m.a.s.t.u.r.b.a.t.e. Their relations.h.i.+p was considered at its start at that time. So, Chen Mengyan was not a person who was good at lying. At this moment, she was ashamed after being pointed out by Liu Ting.
“Why? Is it really what I said?” When Liu Ting saw Chen Mengyan’s expression, she was stunned. She was joking initially, but she did not expect Chen Mengyan to betray her with a shy expression.
“No… We only had a relations.h.i.+p after we went to university.” Chen Mengyan found an excuse for her “puppy love.”
” Hah , that is to say, you both were flirtatious already?” Liu Ting laughed.
“No, our relations.h.i.+p is very pure…” Chen Mengyan was ashamed. What flirtatious? Our relations.h.i.+p is just better.
“It is pure and flirtatious, right? I understand; I totally understand…” Liu Ting was still laughing.
“It is pure and flirtatious, then what?” Chen Mengyan was made anxious by Liu Ting. She simply did not care. What was the big deal even if she had a puppy love?
“What about that?” Liu Ting squinted. “I didn’t say anything!”
“Okay, Third Sister, you are fooling me…” Chen Mengyan saw Liu Ting’s face and knew that she was being fooled. She was so angry that she wanted to fool Liu Ting.
“Okay, stop the fuss.” When Liu Ting saw Chen Mengyan was anxious, she quickly comforted Chen Mengyan, “Third Sister is joking with you. Later, I will introduce my boyfriend to you after he comes.”
“Okay, then I have to see if he is worthy of my Third Sister!” Chen Mengyan nodded.
“My boyfriend is just an ordinary person. He is not very handsome, but then again, your Third Sister is not beautiful as well. As long as he treats me well.” Liu Ting smiled. “Instead, I am the one who needs to inspect your boyfriend. I want to see what goods does he have to pursue our little princess, Mengyan. I will say it first. If he is too ordinary, do not blame your Third Sister for being rude.”
“He… is very good. He is my university cla.s.smate…” Chen Mengyan naturally thought that Yang Ming was the best, but she could not tell Liu Ting that Yang Ming only became particularly outstanding recently. She could not really say to Liu Ting that Yang Ming was the master of fighting, right?
“Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. What you say is useless. Third Sister will judge for you later. If he is too bad, then do not blame Third Sister for saying something bad.” Liu Ting’s character was forthright.
Yang Ming didn’t want to partic.i.p.ate in Chen Mengyan’s junior high school cla.s.smate gathering. It was better to leave some s.p.a.ce between couples. However, Chen Mengyan asked him to attend, and her good friends were present as well. If he did not go, Chen Mengyan might lose face.
Yang Ming first drove back to take a shower. This time, the security guard recognized Yang Ming and his car. The license plate number was also conspicuous. The Song-B88B88 looked just like six eights from afar.
Yang Ming did not have this car plate before going to Macau. Bao Sanli got the car plate only after he returned to Song Jiang. In the beginning, the car’s plate was just temporary. Now that the deadline for the registration of the new car was near, Bao Sanli spent some money and bid on such a number plate at the auction for Yang Ming.
Yang Ming thought that this license plate was a bit arrogant, but he also knew that Bao Sanli did it with good intentions, and he wanted to flatter Yang Ming. Therefore, Yang Ming did not say anything. He just put it up. When he had the opportunity to change cars in the future, this car would be given to Ming Yang Heavy Industry to pick up important guests. A bad*ss car plate could show the strength of the company anyway.
When Yang Ming went home to take a shower and get dressed, he hesitated. Since he was attending Chen Mengyan’s high school gathering, he could not dress casually, but he couldn’t dress too formally either. After all, this was an informal gathering. It was not a company banquet.
Therefore, in the end, Yang Ming decided to wear a very casual sports jacket to make himself look more like an energetic university student. Wearing suits on such occasions was likely to be considered as pretending.
After taking a shower, Yang Ming went downstairs swiftly. Then, he drove in the direction of Chen Mengyan’s house. However, halfway there, he thought that since Chen Mengyan’s good friends were present, he needed to be gentle so that Chen Mengyan could have face.
Generally, girls cared about their face. No matter what you did behind the scenes, you had to be gentle and considerate when you were in front of others. Yang Ming was still very clear about this. Otherwise, if he upset Princess Chen, he would need to forget about having s.e.x with her.
So, when Yang Ming pa.s.sed by the flower shop, he parked the car at its door.
This was the flower shop where Yang Ming ordered the flowers for Sun Jie last time. When Yang Ming entered, the saleslady recognized Yang Ming immediately, “Sir, you are here again!”
” En ,” Yang Ming nodded. This saleslady really has a good memory. She could even remember me.
“Sir, do you want to buy flowers this time, or do you want to renew the service of flowers delivery?” The saleslady saw Yang Ming was not speaking, so she asked.
In fact, Yang Ming was looking at the roses on the flower stand at this moment. He wondered how many he should buy for Chen Mengyan. Yang Ming didn’t buy flowers that often, so he did not know the meaning of the different number of flowers.
“I’m buying flowers, roses. If I want to give to my girlfriend, how many should I buy?” asked Yang Ming.
“Generally, eleven or ninety-nine is more popular.” The saleslady smiled and explained.
“What do you mean by eleven and ninety-nine?” inquired Yang Ming.
“Eleven represents the most love. I only care about you alone. The ninety-nine represents the wish for our love to be forever,” explained the saleslady.
I only care about you alone? Yang Ming smiled. Even if I say so, Chen Mengyan would not believe it. Isn’t that purely nonsense? This way, not only won’t I please her, maybe I will even anger her. As for the explanation of the ninety-nine flowers, wish our love to be forever. Wasn’t this what Yang Ming hoped for? So, Yang Ming said, “Then ninety-nine flowers. Help me pack it.”
“Okay, sir, no problem. Please wait for a moment.” After the saleslady finished, she went to wrap it up for Yang Ming. She did the same thing every day, so she was very skilled in wrapping the roses, then she handed them to Yang Ming.
When Yang Ming went to pay, he thought about it and said, “Continue the flower delivery service that I ordered last time, and pay the money together.”
“Okay.” The saleslady nodded and said, “Yes, the flower delivery service that the gentleman ordered with you last time is almost over. Should we inform him…”
” Oh .” Yang Ming only remembered that Li Yixun was also sending flowers to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan. He hesitated for a moment. Since they knew each other, it was fine to pay the money together, so he said, “How much is it? I will pay for it together.”
“Okay sir, let me count.” The saleslady said, “Yes, we’re running out of the cards with content. Do you want to…”
” Oh , the card is no longer needed. Just send the flowers directly.” Yang Ming felt that his relations.h.i.+p with Sun Jie now did not need written cards.
After paying the money, Yang Ming took the ninety-nine roses and rushed to Chen Mengyan’s home. After he pa.s.sed by the car wash, Yang Ming felt that his car was a little dirty, so he went to wash it.
On the way, he received a call from Chen Mengyan, “Yang Ming, are you coming over?”
” En , I am already on the road. What’s wrong? Are you anxious?” Yang Ming should have arrived at Chen Mengyan’s home by now, but he went to the car wash on the road, so he was delayed.
“Not at all, but the boyfriend of Third Sister has already arrived downstairs. Third Sister and I are going downstairs. We are waiting for you downstairs from my apartment.” Chen Mengyan explained.
“Alright, I will be there soon. Just wait for me.” As Yang Ming said this, he accelerated the speed slightly faster, but he could not be much faster in the city.
Liu Ting received a call from her boyfriend, Liu Baoqiang. Liu Baoqiang said that he had already arrived downstairs at Chen Mengyan’s apartment. Liu Ting also did not want to ask Liu Baoqiang to go upstairs. While it was fine for Liu Ting as a girl to stay in Chen Mengyan’s home, it was not appropriate for Liu Baoqiang to go to Chen Mengyan’s house. So after Liu Baoqiang called, Liu Ting went downstairs with Chen Mengyan.
Liu Baoqiang really looked like what Liu Ting described. He had average looks with a face full of acne. His face was round and harmonious. Seeing Liu Ting and Chen Mengyan coming to his side, he immediately got out of the car, and hurriedly greeted, “Tingting!”
“Little Qiang, this is my good sister, Chen Mengyan, from junior high school. I told you before. You have also seen her photos in my house. Isn’t she beautiful?” Liu Ting introduced Chen Mengyan to Liu Baoqiang.
“Hi…” Liu Baoqiang extended his hand shyly, but he suddenly remembered that it was not very appropriate to hold an unfamiliar girl’s hand, so he took back his hand and said, “I am Tingting’s boyfriend, also her driver and bodyguard. My name is Liu Baoqiang. Just call me Little Qiang.”
When Chen Mengyan saw Liu Baoqiang’s appearance, she could not help but laugh. This person is really funny, and he talks humorously, too. Driver and bodyguard… Hehe, it seems that the boyfriend of Third Sister is really good. Liu Ting has total dominance over him.
