Chapter 709: The Flower Delivery Misunderstanding
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
“What help do you need?” Yang Ming asked Li Yixun who was jumping on his feet.
“You know Yanyan right?” asked Li Yixun.
“Wait…” Without waiting for Li Yixun to finish, Yang Ming waved his hand and asked, “Who is Yanyan?” Yang Ming felt inexplicable toward this unexpectedly familiar name. It sounded like “Yanyan” [1], just like how Chen Mengyan was called.
“It’s w.a.n.g Xiaoyan…” Li Yixun said embarra.s.singly.
” Oh , I know her. What happened?” asked Yang Ming.
” Ah , alright. Then you take these flowers to w.a.n.g Xiaoyan for me!” said Li Yixun as he put the flowers in Yang Ming’s hand.
“I take?” Yang Ming frowned, How can he find someone else to deliver flowers for him? What’s more, Yang Ming didn’t have the time to meddle in Li Yixun’s matters.
“Buddy, please! Since your brother, I, have opened my mouth to ask, can you give some face?” Li Yixun began to use words to make a run on Yang Ming and blocked any excuses for him to refuse. But this was still fine. There was a more effective way. This boy placed the bouquet of roses into Yang Ming’s arms, and then he turned and ran. As he ran, he said, “Please, buddy! Next time, I will treat you to a big meal! Right… You must tell her seriously that ‘I love you. My feelings for you are sincere. Give me a chance…’”
Yang Ming opened his mouth trying to say something, but he didn’t say it. I have never seen such a thick-skinned person! He really wanted to throw the flowers away, but he suddenly remembered one of Little Shenyang’s sentences, “The flower isn’t guilty …” He shook his head and thought, I’ll only do it this time.
So, he held the flowers and reluctantly went to the door of the villa next door. Then he rang the doorbell. After a long time, he saw a pretty girl in black leather run out, and her voice was a little lazy. “Who is it?”
Yang Ming shook his head. This w.a.n.g Xiaoyan is like Little Mihu [2]. She isn’t afraid that the bad guys would knock on the door. How can a girl just simply run out like this?
Looking at w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s appearance, she was obviously sleeping. But her outfit was quite sporty. Yang Ming guessed that she probably went out for morning exercises and returned to sleep after that.
“Who are you? You’re delivering flowers?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was sleepy so she didn’t recognize Yang Ming. She didn’t expect Yang Ming to wear a military coat and dress like a migrant worker. “What flower shop is this? And they didn’t send a well-dressed person to deliver it…”
Yang Ming was stunned. Listening to what she said, he knew that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had misunderstood. She regarded him as a delivery man of a flower shop.
“No… I’m your neighbor…” Yang Ming quickly explained…
“My neighbor?” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan frowned. “You are my neighbor? You’re the one who smashes things here and there? It’s so bad that I can’t even sleep in the middle of the night.”
“I…” Yang Ming scolded Li Yixun’s eighteen generations of ancestors. Why did I trouble myself and take on such a troublesome task? He was too lazy to explain himself when w.a.n.g Xiaoyan didn’t recognize him, so he just wanted to complete the task and leave this place! Therefore, he quickly said, “The person who sent the flowers said, ‘I love you. My feelings for you are sincere. Give me a chance…’”
As Yang Ming spoke, he deliberately lowered his head. Since w.a.n.g Xiaoyan didn’t recognize him, he didn’t want to cause more problems.
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was sluggish, so she didn’t hear Yang Ming say, “The person who sent the flowers said…”. She only heard the latter part of the sentence, and she was immediately angered! What kind of neighbor is this? The person who renovates his house at night which disturbs my sleep comes to my door not to apologize, but to confess his feelings for me!
w.a.n.g Xiaoyan took the roses from Yang Ming’s hand and slammed it on his face. Both of them were standing too close so Yang Ming couldn’t dodge it. Instead, he was beaten by it, and the roses were scattered all over the place.
Motherf*cker, who did I to provoke? Yang Ming smiled bitterly. Being a good person is difficult nowadays! He shook his head and said, ” Ai , these flowers are innocent…” After that, he turned and left.
But he unexpectedly heard w.a.n.g Xiaoyan shout, “Yang Ming, stop!”
Yang Ming was shocked. The girl recognized me? w.a.n.g Xiaoyan initially didn’t notice Yang Ming. But as w.a.n.g Xiaoyan threw the flowers on Yang Ming’s face, she subconsciously followed the bunch of flowers and glanced at Yang Ming. With a glance, she immediately recognized him!
“d.a.m.n, only now you recognize me…” Since Yang Ming was recognized, he couldn’t leave. So, he turned around and said awkwardly.
“It turned out to be you!” w.a.n.g Xiaoyan frowned and was annoyed. Originally, Yang Ming didn’t have much to do with her, but because of Zhao Ying, she had to say a few words. “Yang Ming, what do you mean? I will forgive you for disturbing my rest because of Zhao Ying, but what do you mean by sending me flowers? I really feel sorry for Sister Ying. How did she like this kind of half-hearted guy like you?”
“I…” Yang Ming was just about to explain, but w.a.n.g Xiaoyan turned and left. When she left, she said something that made Yang Ming feeling extremely embarra.s.sed, “Sorry. You’re not the type I like…”
“I… F*ck” Yang Ming felt that he was wronged. What is this? Nothing good happened this morning. It is simply inexplicable!
He was too lazy to explain to her. What Yang Ming cared about was what w.a.n.g Xiaoyan said just now. Zhao Ying… likes me? Although Zhao Ying hasn’t expressed any kind of thoughts in front of me, what do w.a.n.g Xiaoyan’s words mean? Could it be… There are some inside stories?
Thinking of this, Yang Ming wanted to find w.a.n.g Xiaoyan to know more about the situation. However, today would be no good. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan, this little girl, had misunderstood him, and she was mad at him right now!
Forget it. Since we are neighbors, I will find out sooner or later. I can find the opportunity to apologize and get some information from her next time. Looking at the roses scattered on the ground, Yang Ming shrugged. He turned and left.
Seeing the waste lumber piled up at the door of the villa, Yang Ming was too lazy to move it again, so he lifted his legs up and went in…
Not far away, Li Yixun didn’t actually leave, but he paid attention to the movements here. He couldn’t hear what Yang Ming said, but he could see it. When he saw that w.a.n.g Xiaoyan smashed Yang Ming with the flowers, he was secretly surprised. Thankfully I didn’t go in person. She treated a familiar person who only sent the flowers like that. If I went in person, I don’t know what would have happened…
Thinking of this, Li Yixun trembled a bit. However, Yang Ming’s approach had inspired Li Yixun! I can’t come to send flowers, but I can entrust those flower shops to send flowers! I don’t have to wake up early every day to come and squat here!
It didn’t matter if the flowers were thrown at the flower deliverymen a few times. There must be a brave man under the reward. Li Yixun didn’t believe that no one would accept this job if he just paid more money.
Going into his own villa, Yang Ming found the foreman and handed him a cigarette. Then he asked, “You didn’t affect the neighbor next door at night In the past few days, right?”
” Ah ? Boss, did the person next door complain to you?” asked the foreman, stunned.
” En , you should be a little bit quieter. The person next door isn’t happy.” Yang Ming looked at the expression of the foreman and knew that whatever he just said was useless. These guys wanted to complete their work as soon as possible. They would definitely not care about the neighbors’ rest.
” Ai , I have already been more careful about it, but for this work, it is impossible to be a little bit quieter!” The foreman said in a dilemma, “Boss, would you like to negotiate with her?”
“Forget it.” Yang Ming waved, knowing that it was useless to talk to them, so he said, “Let’s be more careful next time. I will try to coordinate it. Right, why are you looking for me?”
“It’s like this. Last time Miss Chen said that I can’t use any thinner with a smell for one of the bedrooms. But, boss, you know there are chemical ingredients in this thinner and paint. How could there not be any?” explained the foreman.
“So that’s it!” Yang Ming knew that Chen Mengyan was referring to the bedroom reserved for Zhou Jiajia. In order to create a good resting environment for Zhou Jiajia, Chen Mengyan suggested not using those toxic paints and thinners. “Then, can you not use it? In the original design, haven’t you already painted the walls?”
“It can be done, but the schematic drawing that Miss Chen gave is a bit different from the original…” The foreman was talking about the drawings of Zhou Jiajia’s original room. In order to adapt Zhou Jiajia to the environment, Yang Ming discussed with Chen Mengyan to made a decision. The decoration here was an exact replica of Zhou Jiajia’s room.
“Try not to use it. It’s okay to have a little difference.” Yang Ming thought for a moment. “If it still can’t work, immediately get some charcoal bags to absorb the toxic substances after you’ve finished your work.”
“Alright, let me look into it again.” The foreman said, “Boss, about the bathroom, you have to look at it. Is this okay…”
Yang Ming went to the bathroom with the foreman and then went to the kitchen. Although they were some minor problems, it delayed Yang Ming’s morning.
[1] Yanyan: The name of w.a.n.g Xiaoyan and Chen Mengyan has the words Yan, so it’s similar when the word Yan is repeated.
