Roses

“President Shen, wait a moment!” Shen Wan was stopped by Miao Miao as she passed by the front desk.
“What’s up?”
“I have a surprise…” Miao Miao said and blinked, then turned around to bring out a bouquet of red roses from behind the counter.
Shen Wan raised an eyebrow, “For whom?”
“For you.”
H H
“Do you think it could possibly be for me?” Miao Miao had a sense of self-awareness, having never received anything, not even some grass, her entire life.
So, her eyes were filled with envy, and she couldn’t help but imagine when she would become thinner and more beautiful, attracting someone’s attention.
Hmm…
She probably would have to wait for the next lifetime.
The vibrant red roses with dewdrops on their petals glistened on the green stems, exuding their captivating beauty.
“I counted them; there are a total of 21 flowers, symbolizing ‘sincere love’. President Shen, someone is confessing their feelings to you from afar!”
Shen Wan furrowed her brow, taking the flowers but couldn’t find a card even after searching twice. “Who sent these?”
“The flower delivery guy. 1 was just pondering how to discreetly bring the flowers into the office when you came out yourself. Perfect timing!”
“No name left by the sender?”
Miao Miao shook her head, “I thought you would know, so I didn’t ask.”
When it came to matters of the heart, wasn’t it supposed to be subtle outwardly but unmistakable within? Could it be that President Shen had an abundance of admirers and couldn’t distinguish one from another? The more Miao Miao contemplated it, the more it made sense to her—What will be, will be.
Shen Wan didn’t dwell on it for too long, having a vague idea in her mind. She placed the flowers on the counter and instructed Miao Miao, “Find a vase and arrange them, then put them on the front desk as decoration.”
“…” What?!
“Of course, if you like them, you can take them home.”
“But… these flowers are quite lovely. Are you sure you don’t want them?”
Shen Wan shook her head. “1 don’t.”
Miao Miao silently shed a tear of sympathy for the sender of the flowers. Unrequited love was indeed something pitiful.
The elevator arrived just in time, and Shen Wan walked away briskly.
Miao Miao caught up and said, “At least take one, put it in your car; it’ll look nice and freshen up the scent.” As she spoke, she handed a rose to Shen Wan before the elevator doors closed.
In the car, Shen Wan casually placed the rose on the passenger seat and started the engine, heading towards the Mingda headquarters.
During the journey, her phone rang, and in driving mode, it automatically answered.
“Who’s this?” Shen Wan didn’t look, not knowing who was calling.
“Wan Wan! You didn’t even save my number?” It was He Huai.
“I’m driving.”
“That doesn’t matter. What’s important is that you just asked ‘who’s this’, so it’s driving me crazy…” She could imagine him bouncing up and down with agitation right now.
Shen Wan explained helplessly, “1 didn’t check because I’m driving. Understand?”
“I don’t care, I’m seriously injured, very severe internal injuries.”
“Don’t be dramatic.”
Three words, uttered with a gentle smile and a tone of indulgence… Alright, He Huai conceded that he might have let his imagination wander, but it sounded quite pleasant, instantly setting his heart aflutter and sparking a mischievous spirit within him!
“Wan Wan, Wan Wan….” He called her several times in a row, getting increasingly affectionate, “What should 1 do? I think I’m starting to…” Like you more.
“Hmm? I didn’t catch that. Starting to what?”
“Ahem! Nothing… Did you receive the flowers I sent? Do you like them?”
His inquiry confirmed what Shen Wan had suspected earlier. It was, without a doubt, the doing of this stylish young man. “Yes, I got them. However, please refrain from sending any more in the future.”
“Why not? Don’t you like red roses? Or perhaps,” he paused for a moment and said softly, “you don’t like the person who sends you roses?”
Shen Wan wasn’t a fool; she had already sensed He Huai’s intentions on multiple occasions..
