“What are you looking at? Why are you smiling so happily?”
“Nothing… Nothing at all…”
Lin Qingyou shook her head frantically.
Yin Hanyu, noticing her reaction, grew even more curious. “Let me see too. I want to laugh as well.”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
Laugh? Are you sure?
This man is so petty.
If he sees that she’s secretly looking at pictures of handsome men, he won’t just not laugh—he’ll explode.
“No.”
“Really not giving it to me?” Yin Hanyu raised an eyebrow, his tone turning slightly dangerous.
Lin Qingyou kept shaking her head and backing away. “No, no, absolutely not.”
Yin Hanyu narrowed his eyes and pressed forward. “If you don’t give it to me, I’ll get angry.”
Lin Qingyou muttered under her breath, “If I give it to you, you’ll get even angrier.”
Yin Hanyu: “…”
“Now I really want to see it,” he said.
Lin Qingyou hesitated. “You can look, but you have to promise me you won’t get mad.”
Yin Hanyu immediately responded, “I promise. I won’t get mad.”
But the moment he saw the pictures of muscular, shirtless men, his face instantly darkened, and without another word, he turned and walked away.
Lin Qingyou: “…”
What happened to not getting mad?
Men’s words are so unreliable—if they were trustworthy, pigs could climb trees!
Lin Qingyou hurriedly ran after him.
“Yin Hanyu, listen to my excuse—ah, no, I mean my explanation!”
But Yin Hanyu only walked faster.
To make things worse, at that moment, a man came running towards Lin Qingyou with a huge bouquet of fresh, vibrant roses.
“Boss! Here’s your flower, flower, flower… your bouquet!”
Yin Hanyu saw the roses and stopped in his tracks, his eyes turning cold.
Flowers?
Who sent her flowers?
Yin Hanyu shot a sharp glare at the employee holding the bouquet. The poor guy was so scared that he froze mid-step.
Holy crap, this is terrifying!
Why is the Young Master here all of a sudden?
Did the boss and the Young Master get into a fight at the company?
Damn, why did I have to witness this?
Should I run away like the wind, or should I risk my life and stay to watch the drama unfold?
“Xiao Li, why are you standing there? Hurry up and give me my flowers! Why are you practicing footwork techniques in the middle of the day?”
Lin Qingyou took the bouquet, happily sniffing the fresh scent.
Not bad—very fresh.
But seeing her delighted expression only made Yin Hanyu even angrier.
He had come to check on her because he was worried she wouldn’t adapt to her new job. He even used his lunch break to visit her, thinking that if she needed help, he could guide her.
And this is what he gets?
Yin Hanyu clenched his teeth.
He should never have come!
Looking at the bouquet, he suddenly found it absolutely hideous.
Hmph! Which shameless man sent this? This bouquet is hideous—completely tacky!
His back teeth were grinding from frustration.
But then—
A bouquet of flowers appeared right in front of him.
“Darling, these flowers are for you,” Lin Qingyou said, tilting her head and looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes.
Yin Hanyu’s face turned even darker. “Lin Qingyou, what do you mean by this?”
Lin Qingyou blinked, confused. “What do you mean ‘what do I mean’? Why are you even angrier? Shouldn’t you be happy to receive flowers?”
“Happy?” Yin Hanyu was so furious he could almost spit blood. “You’re giving me flowers that another man sent to you, and you expect me to be happy? Lin Qingyou, if you’re trying to kill me with anger, just say so! Why beat around the bush?”
Three black lines appeared on Lin Qingyou’s forehead. “…”
God, what kind of twisted logic is this? She can’t keep up with his thought process at all.
“What other man?!” She stuffed the card into Yin Hanyu’s hand. “I specifically asked someone to buy these for you!”
Yin Hanyu: “…”
When he saw the words on the card—
“Dear Mr. Yin Hanyu, would you honor me with a date tonight? ~”
—he was stunned.
His initial reaction was pure joy, but then he felt slightly awkward, unsure how to react. His usually expressionless face suddenly became very animated.
So these flowers were…
For him?
No wonder he thought they were so beautiful!
His little Qingyou has great taste!
Yin Hanyu stared at the roses, finding them more pleasing by the second. The more he looked, the more he liked them.
Tsk, roses!
So romantic!
So beautiful!
This was the first time in his life that he had ever received roses from a girl!
And from his girlfriend, no less!
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. The corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.
But to maintain his usual cool demeanor, he tried hard to suppress his grin.
Unfortunately, his smile was harder to control than an AK rifle.
“A date?” His voice carried a smile, and he looked almost dazed with happiness.
“What do you mean, ‘A date’?” Lin Qingyou asked. “A date between a couple, of course! Yin Hanyu, why do you always ask such weird questions?”
Yin Hanyu: “…”
Because he had never been on a date before.
Or been in a relationship.
But admitting that would be too embarrassing.
She’d probably laugh at him.
So he wasn’t going to say it.
Yin Hanyu quickly took the bouquet, feeling like he was floating on a cloud.
“You really want to go on a date with me tonight?” he asked again, still in disbelief.
“Mmhmm.”
Lin Qingyou nodded eagerly.
They had never really dated properly before.
Now that she had been given a second chance at life, she was determined to make up for all the regrets.
She wanted to give him every bit of happiness she could.
She explained, “I originally wanted to pick out the flowers myself, but today is my first day at work, and people kept coming to talk to me about business. I couldn’t get away, so I asked Xiao Li to buy them for me.”
“I was planning to bring them to you during my lunch break, but you came to see me first.”
“By the way, why did you suddenly come looking for me?”
Lin Qingyou looked up and saw Yin Hanyu hugging the bouquet, grinning like an idiot, completely lost in his own world.
She couldn’t help but laugh and poke him. “Do you like roses that much? Should I give you a bouquet every day? And seriously, why did you come to see me?”
Yin Hanyu awkwardly replied, “I was just passing by.”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
Yeah, right.
His company was two districts away from hers!
“Passing by?” she scoffed. “Out of all the roads in the city, you just happened to pass by mine? Hmph! You were worried about me and came to check on me, didn’t you?”
“No.” Yin Hanyu denied it immediately, but his guilty expression said otherwise.
Lin Qingyou laughed. “Tsk, such a tsundere!”
Yin Hanyu: “…”
“Don’t worry. I’m adapting well—my aunt is helping me.”
Yin Hanyu nodded. “Then I’ll head back now.”
“Head back?” Lin Qingyou snorted, trapping him against the wall. “President Yin, you accepted my flowers. Aren’t you going to give me a return gift before you leave?”
Yin Hanyu frowned. Crap. He had no clue what to give in return.
Clothes? Jewelry? Bags? Cars? Buildings?
Got it!
His eyes lit up. “You love food. How about I give you that restaurant on Pinghe Street?”
Lin Qingyou: “…”
Damn, this guy is generous!
She exchanged a single bouquet for the best restaurant in the capital—she basically met her ten-year KPI goal on her first day at work.
She’s amazing!
Instead of accepting, she tiptoed up and kissed him on the lips.
She smiled. “Baby, this is the return gift I want.”
Yin Hanyu’s eyes widened in shock, his ears instantly turning red.
He left the company holding his bouquet, touching his lips in a daze, grinning like an idiot.
His assistant, watching in the rearview mirror, was speechless.
Oh no.
The boss’s love-brain has gotten even worse.
