“Lin Jiao, your flowers.” Zhuo Yuan walked to her desk with a large bouquet of champagne roses.
After receiving different roses for three consecutive days, the table beside Lin Jiao was almost full.
“Thank you.” She smiled and took it. “Do you have an empty vase?”
“I’ll go and take a look.”
“Lin Jiao, your boyfriend is really considerate.” Aly turned around and looked at her enviously.
The other colleagues added, “That’s right. I’ve only received three bouquets in two years of marriage with my husband.”
“It’s already good enough that you received three bouquets. A single person like me can only watch.”
“Lin Jiao, how long have you been dating?” Zhuo Yuan returned with two vases.
“More than two months.” Lin Ran unwrapped the bouquet and placed the roses in the vase one by one.
“How did you two meet?”
“Through a common friend.”
She was not asking private questions, so Lin Jiao felt no pressure answering it.
“Zhuo Yuan, put this on your table.” Lin Jiao handed over a vase filled with roses.
“Thank you.” Zhuo Yuan lowered her head and sniffed. “I feel much better when I smell the fragrance of flowers.”
Lin Jiao thought so too.
She placed the other vase on Aly’s table and went to find the other empty vases to share with the others.
Fortunately, no one in the planning department was allergic to pollen. Otherwise, she would have nowhere to put the roses.

“Senior, your phone is ringing.”
Hearing Meng Qi’s voice, Lin Jiao, who had just returned from the washroom, quickened her pace and picked up her phone.
She answered the call. “Dad?”
“Jiaojiao, are you free tomorrow night?”
“What happened?”
Lin Hongyuan briefly summarized how he had received an invitation to the auction banquet. “If you’re free, come with me.”
Lin Jiao had never attended an auction banquet with him. To the outside world, the daughter of the Lin family had always been a mystery.
In the past, she had never agreed to it because of the conflict between him and Lin Kanglu. However, now that Lin Kanglu had moved back to live with him, the situation was different now. For the first time, she did not reject and only asked, “Is Auntie Fang going with us?”
“Your Auntie Fang is pregnant.” At the mention of this, Lin Hongyuan’s voice was filled with joy. “It’s not convenient for her to go out now.”
Lin Jiao was shocked by this news. “When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Less than two months. At first, we didn’t believe it, so we visited two more hospitals. We only confirmed it yesterday.”
When Fang Liu was married to her ex-husband for three years, she was found to be infertile and was forced to divorce her husband by her in-laws.
Now that she was already forty years old, logically speaking, there was indeed no chance of her getting pregnant again. They were afraid that they would be happy for nothing, so they were so cautious and saw many doctors.
“Did Auntie Fang have a big reaction?”
“Quite big.”
“Then hire someone to take care of her.” Lin Jiao couldn’t help but worry for her. “Also, stop smoking and drinking.”
“Your grandpa is always watching me.” Lin Hongyuan didn’t even have a chance to smoke or drink.
He walked downstairs happily. “I’ll get the driver to pick you up tomorrow night. Remember to dress up and make your father proud.”
Lin Jiao smiled and replied, “Got it.”
As it took a long time to deal with the roses, she arrived at the parking lot ten minutes later than usual after finishing her afternoon work.
Coincidentally, she heard someone sayā
“President Pei, can we talk?” Meng Qi did not expect to see him and immediately stopped him.
“And you are?”
“My name is Meng Qi. I’m an employee of the planning department.”
Pei Zhi stood in front of the car. The light split his figure into two. One half was hidden in the darkness, and the other half was covered in soft light.
His expression was very cold. Even when he heard the words “Planning Department”, he did not change his expression. “What’s the matter?”
“I like you.” Meng Qi had always been bold.
She looked at the man’s especially superior face. It would be a lie to say that she was not nervous, but there was not much admiration in her eyes.
Pei Zhi frowned. “I have a girlfriend.”
An unsurprising answer.
Meng Qi chose to take a step back. “Then can we add each other on WeChat? We can be friends.”
“I’m not interested.” He opened the car door and glanced at her coldly, his eyes filled with warning. “Do you want to be transferred to work in the parking lot?”
Meng Xi’s back stiffened. “No!” She couldn’t stand the pressure coming from him and ran to the car opposite.
Seeing that the car was whooshing away, Lin Jiao walked over with a smile. “President Pei, why are you scaring people like that?”
“She annoyed me first.” When she appeared, the coldness in Pei Zhi’s eyes was replaced by gentleness.
He rubbed the top of her head. “Are you angry?”
“How is that possible? I’m not that petty.” Or rather, he gave her too much sense of security. There was no need for her to be jealous or paranoid.
Seeing that she did not look angry, Pei Zhi waited for her to get into the car before walking to the other side.
He stepped on the accelerator. “Jiaojiao, I’m going to Lin City tomorrow to discuss a collaboration. I’ll be back on Sunday.”
“Then don’t drink too much.”
“I won’t.” While waiting for the traffic light, he turned to look at her. “Can I stay at your place tonight?”
Lin Jiao did not know about him climbing into her bed on Monday night, so she quickly agreed. “Don’t send flowers tomorrow. There’s nowhere to put them.”
“Yes.” Pei Zhi did not expect to win her heart with just a few bouquets of roses. “How about we go to Changning Ancient Town next week?”
“Is it fun over there?”
“Qu Shao said it’s not bad.”
Lin Jiao adjusted the height of the seat and relaxed her back. “How long will it take to go back and forth?”
“Three hours.” He briefly introduced the scenery he had seen on the video and did not go into detail to preserve the novelty.
“By the way, I have to attend an auction banquet tomorrow night.”
“Who held it?”
“I’m not sure.” Lin Jiao told him about Fang Liu’s pregnancy. “My father is overjoyed.”
“It’s indeed something to be happy about.” Pei Zhi smiled faintly. “When I come back, let’s go and see them.”
He looked very gentle under the sunset. Lin Jiao only took a glance at him, but she could not take her eyes off him.
Pei Zhi could not stand the way she looked at him. He had a feeling that she was seducing him at any moment.
He unbuttoned the two buttons on his neck and drove the car into Ming Xin parking lot. After stepping on the brakes, he brought her into arms.
“Jiaojiao.” His hot breath landed on her face, seducing her with his beauty. “Do you want to kiss me?”
Lin Jiao indeed wanted it.
She looked into his deep eyes and subconsciously closed her eyes when he leaned over.
When their lips touched, the temperature suddenly rose.
In the cramped environment, a hoarse voice filled with love entered her ears.
“Good girl.”
