“I bought it at a flower shop on my way to pick you up. Miss Gao had once told me that…… men should do this when dating,” Lin Chen locked the car door and answered truthfully.

  When Lu Yunfan heard the words “Miss Gao”, her heart ached……

  However, since she already knew that Lin Chen and Gao Jingjie only dated for show, she no longer felt upset!

  Recalling the bouquet of flowers in Gao Jingjie’s hands when Lin Chen and Gao Jingjie were on a date, Lu Yunfan felt even more comfortable……

  It turned out that Brother Lin Chen had prepared flowers for Gao Jingjie because Gao Jingjie had told him to!

  After dinner, Lin Chen followed the custom of dating and sent Lu Yunfan home.

  Along the way, Lu Yunfan held the bouquet in her arms, anticipating how Lin Chen would send her to her door in a moment. She imagined how she would naturally give Lin Chen a goodbye kiss, then elegantly turned around and entered the house.

  However, just thinking about it had already made Lu Yunfan so nervous that she was shivering all over. How would she even be able to implement it?

  She cheered herself on. Come on, Lu Yunfan……! She should bring out the imposing manner that she had when she was kissing Brother Lin Chen that day in his office!

  “Are you cold?” Lin Chen saw that Lu Yunfan was trembling a little, so he considerately turned on the heater.

  “No, no!” Lu Yunfan shrunk her neck and hid her smile under her white collar.

  Lu Yunfan lowered her gaze, looking at the fresh flowers in her arms. Their faint fragrance wafted into her nose. She bit her lower lip and felt that her thoughts were a little bold.

  While Lu Yunfan was hesitating, the car Lin Chen was driving had already arrived at her house.

  Lu Yunfan’s heart was furiously beating as she unbuckled her seatbelt. She then turned to look at Lin Chen and said, “Brother Lin Chen, be careful on the road. Please send me a message when you get home!”


  “Okay!” Lin Chen nodded.

  Lu Yunfan gritted her teeth and leaned over to plant a kiss on Lin Chen’s cheek. She then frantically tried to push open the car door to run away. Unfortunately, the door didn’t open immediately, so when she took the first step out…… her head knocked against the car window, making a “Dong” sound.

  “Ah…… it hurts!” Lu Yunfan touched her head. She was still in a daze from the pain, but she hurriedly pushed open the car door anyway. She got out of the car and ran into the house with the flowers in her arms.

  Lin Chen was amused by Lu Yunfan’s clumsy behavior. He couldn’t help but smile as he started the car and drove away.

  As soon as she closed her house door, Lu Yunfan pressed her body against it, trying to calm down her furious heartbeat.

  How embarrassing!

  Why did she try to run away right after she kissed him? The impression she gave Brother Lin Chen must have been a dumb one.

  Lu Yunfan sighed, feeling hopeless.

  Forty minutes later, the restless Lu Yunfan finally received a message from Lin Chen. It was a very simple message, with only two words, “I’m home.”


  Lu Yunfan bit her lip and replied to Lin Chen.

  [Lu Yunfan: Brother Lin Chen, how about you forget my dumb performance in the car dumb today?]

  On the other end of the line, Lin Chen’s phone vibrated as he entered the house and was about to put on his home slippers. He unlocked his phone to take a look and replied to Lu Yunfan before he could even put his other foot into his slippers.

  [Lin Chen: It’s okay, I’m used to it! Keep it up. It makes me feel pretty happy.]

  Lu Yunfan, who received the message, fell onto the sofa in despair……

  Brother Lin Chen meant to say that she was ridiculous!

  Sob…… She didn’t want to live anymore!

  [Lu Yunfan: Please forget! Forget! Forget!]

  Lin Chen stopped when he went upstairs and smiled when he saw the message.

  [Lin Chen: The term ‘adorably stupid’ should be referring to you!]

  On the other end of the line, Lu Yunfan’s mood improved upon seeing the word “adorably stupid”.……

  Adorably stupid? Was he saying she was adorable?

  Lu Yunfan’s brows furrowed. Could it be that…… Brother Lin Chen liked the cute type?

  Or…… what kind of style did Brother Lin Chen like?

  Lu Yunfan’s mood was completely lifted. What would happen next after such an uplift?

  [Lu Yunfan: Then Brother Lin Chen, have you fallen for me?]

  [Lin Chen: You might have to work harder to be more adorable.]

  Lu Yunfan hadn’t slept at all the night before. After seeing Lin Chen’s message, she fell asleep on the sofa in a daze.

  The next morning, Lu Yunfan saw that the weather had cleared up and planned to send the painting to Ms. Liang.

  Lu Yunfan first sent Lin Chen a message, saying that she would call Ms. Liang after she was done in the morning……

  “Hello, Madam Liang……” The call went through. When Lu Yunfan saw the name written on Liang Mulan’s message, she addressed Liang Mulan as Madam Liang. “I’m Lu Yunfan from Lin Jianyun Gallery. The weather has picked up, and it’s quite sunny today. Is it convenient for you if I send the painting over today?”


  Hearing the young lady’s sweet and soft voice early in the morning, Liang Mulan was in an especially good mood. “Okay, then come over at noon. You can take a look at my collection and stay for lunch. My son and daughter aren’t at home around that time. I’ll be the only one eating lunch at home. It would be great if you’d join me……”


  Ms. Liang didn’t seem to mind her sending the painting over today and even invited her to have lunch with her after viewing her art collection. Lu Yunfan smiled as she asked, “Won’t it be too troublesome for you?”


  “No…… eating alone is also eating. Same when it’s two……” Liang Mulan could tell that Lu Yunfan was happy, so she felt even more joyful. “Our chef used to be Man Jiang Lou’s chef. He retired there because of his poor health, so we invited him to work at our house to prepare three meals a day. You can eat delicacies that you can’t eat anywhere in our house!”


  When she heard the word ‘delicacy’, Lu Yunfan no longer had the ability to resist. She nodded in agreement. “Okay, thank you!”


  After hanging up the call, Liang Mulan squeezed some hand cream on the back of her hand and repeatedly rubbed it. The corners of her lips lifted, unable to stop smiling……

  This child was rather straightforward, but she wasn’t guarded against others. If she harbored ill intentions towards Lu Yunfan, Lu Yunfan wouldn’t be afraid that something would happen if she were to come to their house for a meal!

  At the thought of this, Liang Mulan turned around and saw her own reflection on the television screen. Perhaps it was because she was too kind and amiable that Lu Yunfan wasn’t at all cautious.

  Since this young lady might become her own child in the future, Liang Mulan felt that she had to remind Lu Yunfan to be wary of others when she arrived later.

  Liang Mulan informed the housekeeper that a guest was coming over today and instructed to prepare fruits and snacks that the young lady liked to eat. She also asked them to clean up the art room.

  The housekeeper immediately arranged for the servants to do it……

  Liang Mulan accidentally saw the family portrait in the living room. After some thought, she asked the servants to store all of Lin Chen’s photos away, lest the young lady found out that she was Lin Chen’s mother.

  Liang Mulan still wanted to see what the real Lu Yunfan was like.

  At 11:40 a.m., Lu Yunfan came personally with the painting.

  Liang Mulan got someone to put the painting into the art room first……
