35 Daisies and Peonies

As Anna entered her chamber a huge bouquet of red roses was placed on her table. The roses were freshly plucked and their aroma filled the entire chamber. It smelled beautiful at the same time overwhelming.

Anna was surprised to see the scenery. A pink note was attached to the bouquet which read.

'To my Love.

From ZL'

Anna frowned.

"Ahh.. this idiot is a real creep, I don't understand how Yu Han even liked him."

Anna called Zu Penny to her chamber.

"Who kept this here?" she pointed to the beautiful roses kept on her table.

"Ms Yu Han somebody delivered it when you were in the meeting."

"Ms Yu Han, your admirer is so romantic the bouquet is so beautiful you're so lucky." Zu Penny said dreamily.

"If you like it so much then keep it." Anna said nonchalantly.

"How can I keep it, they are for you." Zu Penny eyes widened.

"Then throw it." Anna replied firmly and continued to work.

At Ji Group

"Brother, emergency, emergency.." Ji Qiang exclaimed as soon as he entered Ji Yang's office room.

Ji Yang raised his eyebrows signalling his little brother to spill whatever it is.

"You might possibly have to go for a date next Thursday." Ji Qiang said dramatically.

Ji Yang pinched his nose bridge thinking of the coming headache on Thursday.

"Who is it this time?" Ji Yang questioned.

"Grandma has arranged it with her old friend's granddaughter." Ji Qiang really pitied his brother.

"Her original name is Su Ahchan since she stayed in USA for long time her name is now Crystal. She'll be coming back to China day after tomorrow and might stay here forever." Ji Qiang explained further.

Ji Yang stayed quite.

"What are you going to do? Won't sister-in-law be jealous?" Ji Qiang asked worriedly.

He has heard somewhere a jealous woman is not good for her husband's health.

Ji Yang squinted his eyes lightly.

"We are not at that stage." He replied simply.

But deep inside he was asking himself the same question.

'Would she be jealous?'

Even though he doesn't want to admit but he was wishing she should feel something.

"What do you mean? Didn't you guys get married because you love each other? Why wouldn't she be jealous?" Ji Qiang brain was working up.

He was full of curiosity and was hoping his brother would answer his questions.

But to his disappointment Ji Yang didn't answer. Now he was getting anxious. What's happening here? Is my brother struck in a loveless marriage? Ji Qiang was really worried for his brother.

Ji Yang has never cared or loved for someone other than his family and now he is struck in this marriage. Won't he be able to have a beautiful love-life like his parents and grandparents.

Seeing Ji Yang not answering he asked another question which was nagging him.

"Do you love sister-in-law?" He asked nervously afraid to know the answer.

The question hit him hard Ji Yang fell into deep thoughts. He never really thought about it. He never thought of having someone beside him to love her endlessly and selflessly, bear his child and grow old with him.

Sure he enjoyed Anna's company, he found her amusing and fun to be around. She was refreshing not to mention she is the first woman to turn her back on him, hit him and left without getting punished.

'Do I love her?' He asked himself.

"It is too early to say that I love her but.. I like her." Ji Yang answered after a long time. His thoughts were clear now.

A beautiful smile occupied Ji Qiang's face. He finally heard Ji Yang saying he likes someone and this is not something simple to Ji Yang.

"Does sister-in-law also likes also?" Ji Qiang asked excitedly.

Ji Yang fell silent again.

"I'm not sure." Ji Yang's voice sounded rather dejected.

Ji Qiang tried to understood their relationship by bits and pieces of information.

"Don't worry brother I'll help you court sister-in-law." Ji Qiang said proudly. He was more than excited for this mission.

Ji Yang stared at his little brother's enthusiasm and shook his head.

He was holding a bouquet of daisies and peonies. He walked straight to the VIP section which has become a regular route for him now.

As he entered the special room Doctor Leon was doing the regular check-up on the patient.

The person laying on the hospital bed looked pale and was surviving through ventilation system number of cords attached to her were monitoring her body vitals.

She looked like a beautiful flower witted due to heavy rainy and is waiting for bright sun to bloom once again.

The doctor saw him holdingflowers as usual and smiled.

"Hello doctor." The person greeted in return the doctor also greeted and wrote another prescription for the patient and gave it to the aged nurse behind him.

"Doctor Leon how is her condition? Is there any improvement?" The person asked anxiously.

He had called Doctor Leon from France especially to treat her.

"Her condition is more stable and her body is showing improvisation, hopefully she'll come out of coma in few days." Doctor Leon said. The person smiled happily and thanked the doctor.

Doctor Leon and the nurse exited the room.

The person sat next to her and caressed her hair affectionately.

"When are you going to wake up?" He questioned the sleeping beauty.

After staying with her for few minutes he exited the hospital.
