Chapter 674: I Miss You So Much I Could Die
Chapter 674: I Miss You So Much I Could Die
Sheng Yi didn’t realize how radiant and beautiful her smile was when she received the flowers. It was a kind of gentle beauty unique to Eastern women, sweet and lively, attracting mostly the attention of the men around.She lowered her head to sniff the flowers in her arms.
Ninety-nine bright red Louis XVI roses, bold and flamboyant, just like her current mood.
But...
Sheng Yi suddenly frowned.
The flowers in her arms were indeed beautiful, but unfortunately, she hadn’t worn her prettiest dress today, nor had she done her makeup meticulously. She just casually put herself together before going out. If she’d known there would be such a surprise, she would have dressed up.
Planning to put the flowers aside and take them back to the hotel later, where they would keep her company with the bunch Yuanyuan sent her, at least making her feel not so alone in a foreign land. However, as she snapped out of the joy of receiving the flowers, she belatedly realized she was being watched by many eyes in the restaurant...
Unable to withstand the scrutiny, Sheng Yi quickly sat back down, rifled through her bag for a mask, and put it on to maintain a low profile.
She placed the flowers on the table, picked up her phone, and messaged Gu Yuan—
Sheng Yi: Yuanyuan!!
Sheng Yi: I’ve received the surprise!!
Sheng Yi: Right now, in a foreign land, I feel like the happiest woman in this country.
Sheng Yi: (*╹▽╹*)~~
Sheng Yi: I love you, super loud!
Sheng Yi, holding her phone with both hands, sent several messages quickly. Gu Yuan replied swiftly, and after a few exchanges, Sheng Yi took off her phone case, held the big bouquet of roses, and prepared to take some selfies to post on Moments.
Even without a glamorous outfit and refined makeup as a backdrop, as long as she looked good, it was fine.
Oh right, Dao An was also on her WeChat. No one should misunderstand such a big bouquet; she absolutely couldn’t let Dao An misunderstand. The caption must clearly state that it was a gift from Yuanyuan.
During the first few selfies, Sheng Yi didn’t do well because her phone case was too big, affecting her grip and posing for selfies. She removed the case and took a few more, finding that they indeed looked much better.
Carelessness is a trait everyone has.
Originally planning to put the case back on after taking photos, Sheng Yi’s attention remained focused on the pictures, completely forgetting to reattach the case.
After selecting the photos, she called a waiter to help with the flowers, stood up, picked up her bag, and went straight to pay the bill.
The removed phone case was left on the dining table.
...
"Ann?"
"Ann, what are you thinking?"
It was the first time Jane saw the man so distracted, though it wasn’t about work. Even in life, it was rare to see Ann in such a state. Distracted, or should it be more like... lost in thought??
Called several times, the man finally snapped out of it.
But his expression remained calm, to the point Jane found it somewhat frightening.
Though confused, Jane wasn’t in a hurry to press for answers, resting her chin in one hand as she watched the man’s charming face: "Ann, where were you planning to go just now? You seemed in a hurry, but suddenly came back. Did you remember something important at work and want to rush back, worried about leaving me here being inappropriate? Is that what you were thinking?"
Jane was just guessing casually.
Not believing her guess was right.
But her casual speculation received a nod from the man opposite, who said, "Yes."
Jane was too surprised.
Her delicate eyebrows arched high, her fiery red lips curving in unexpected delight, "Ann, I know you’re a workaholic, but to think about work even when having a rare meal out, you really are... breaking my heart."
This statement, unsurprisingly, elicited an apology from the man, "Sorry, it’s my fault."
"Of course it’s your fault," Jane said with a laugh, "But knowing you consider my feelings makes me happy too, at least in your eyes, I’m someone worth considering."
Dao An said nothing.
Just looked away.
His heart was not at peace at the moment, his mind filled with the scene he just witnessed, Sheng Yi receiving a large bouquet of flowers...
If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, if he hadn’t heard her voice personally, he wouldn’t have dared to believe Sheng Yi had indeed arrived in M Country in advance.
Moreover, she happened to come to the same restaurant as him today.
Not yet having snapped out of the surprise of seeing her in M Country, the sudden blow brought him back to reality.
