“The person who just walked past us is President Mu’s secretary, right? Don’t you find him a bit strange?”


  “So I’m not the only one who feels the same! You guys find him a bit strange too, right?”


  “Yes! He is good-looking and dressed up in branded products. However, he still looks like a…”


  “A nouveau riche? An uncultured tycoon?”


  “That’s right! He gives me that sort of impression. But, why is it so? Why? Sigh… I wonder why.”


  “Urm… While you two are talking, didn’t you realize his secretary… has short legs?”


  The two young ladies were stunned and exchanged gazes, only then did they realize it and said, “Short legs! That’s right! That’s it! No wonder I feel like there is something wrong with his secretary. So, President Mu’s secretary actually has short legs!”


  “Hahaha! No wonder I also find him looking a bit strange. It’s all because his legs are too short! There is a saying that women with fair complexions could cover up much of her ugliness while a man with impressive height could cover for their ugliness. President Mu’s secretary is a real pity. He was born with good looks but with short legs. No wonder I found him looking… Hahaha!”


  “Hah! So this is a tragedy caused by his short legs, right?!”


  “Pfff! Hahaha…!”


  The young ladies let out a bark of laughter while being totally unaware that Xia Zhetao, who was not far away from them, had been struck brutally.

  ‘A nouveau riche… An uncultured tycoon… Short legs…’ Xia Zhetao felt like he had been stabbed by a few arrows on his back like a pincushion.

  ‘What makes people with longer legs so great about them?! What’s wrong with people who have short legs?! Even people with short legs have human rights! How can they be like this?!’


  Inside the general manager’s office in Zhao Enterprise, the dazzling sunlight shone into the spacious room through the French window and brightened up the entire office. Pots of green plants were carefully placed in the corner of the office which gave a touch of warmth and liveliness to the office.

  Generally speaking, no matter how exhausted one was, once they sat in such an office, their mood would certainly become better compared to when they were outside. However, the owner of the office clearly did not feel the same at that time.

  When Zhao Youlin saw the person appear before her with a large bouquet on time, the corners of her lips unwittingly twitched.

  Mu Tingfeng had been paying attention to Zhao Youlin. The moment he noticed her current state, his eyes flashed and asked in a low voice, “Don’t like them, aren’t you?”


  “No, I do. But…”


  “But what?”


  Zhao Youlin received the bouquet of foxtail lilies from Mu Tingfeng and carried it in her arms. “But, it’s the same flowers everyday. I could already predict the stuff that you are going to send to me the next day. If this continues, don’t you find this lacking… creativity?”


  Mu Tingfeng was stunned. The next moment, he seemed to have thought of something. He stared into Zhao Youlin’s eyes and asked solemnly, “Are you saying that you are… sick of them?”


  Zhao Youlin’s expression turned stiff. Looking at Mu Tingfeng’s more or less upset expression and remembering that this was perhaps his first time courting a lady, she could not bear to hurt him. Besides, Mu Tingfeng’s words sounded ambiguous.

  Zhao Youlin faked a cough and refuted, “Of course not. I stay faithful to everything I do. I mean it when I like something and don’t simply get fed up with it. But…”


  Zhao Youlin paused for a moment before she turned her head around and looked at the desk behind her.

  It was a large office desk. In fact, it was much larger than an average office desk. However, now it seems very crowded.

  It was because the originally spacious office desk including the edge of it was placed with many pots of foxtail lilies which were almost similar to the one in Zhao Youlin’s hands.

  It was still okay if Mu Tingfeng only gave her a bouquet of flowers in the afternoon.

  The fact was, the florist would definitely send over a pot of fresh foxtail lilies every morning the moment Zhao Youlin arrived at her office. When she was about to go off work in the evening, the florist would appear again and send another pot to her.

  Not forgetting, Mu Tingfeng personally sent another bouquet to her in the afternoons. This guy had been sending her three bouquets of flowers everyday as if delivering three meals each day.

  The current bouquet was still fresh. Every morning, Li came over to help her sort out the previous day’s flowers and insert new flowers for the day.

  However, the flowers from the earlier days were the actual problem. They were still alive and the flowers could last for at least five more days. As a result, the pots accumulated in her office day after day.

  No doubt that if Mu Tingfeng continued sending flowers to her, her office would be flooded by pots of foxtail lilies in a few days.

  No wonder the delivery man smiled so happily at her whenever he delivered the flowers to her. Having received business from a nouveau riche like Mu Tingfeng, anyone in his shoes would also worship him to high heaven.

  Mu Tingfeng looked in the direction where Zhao Youlin was looking, only to see that the office desk was surrounded by all the flowers.

  Mu Tingfeng froze. The thought of Zhao Youlin being surrounded by his flowers everyday when she arrived at her office got the corners of his lips unwittingly curling upward.

  However, he knew that if he continued sending the flowers over to her, it would not end up with any good results. In fact, this would only cause Zhao Youlin trouble.

  He suppressed the glee in his heart and said in a low voice, “I’ll change to another type tomorrow, then.”


  Zhao Youlin thought to herself. ‘Change again?! Dear, could you just stop sending it over?!”


  Zhao Youlin opened her mouth and was about to refuse Mu Tingfeng. However, just as her words were at the tip of her tongue, she was greeted by the sight of Mu Tingfeng’s expectant gaze. She immediately changed her words.

  “Alright. Anything as long as that makes you happy.”


  Anyway, this guy was filthy rich. Besides, they were about to remarry, and very soon he did not have to spend on the flowers. However…


  “Speaking which, are you the one who came up with the idea of sending flowers?” Zhao Youlin was holding the large bouquet of foxtail lilies. She asked curiously when she noticed the traces from the flowers which showed that they had been trimmed carefully.

  Mu Tingfeng had never thought that Zhao Youlin would suddenly raise the issue. He fell silent for a brief moment and looked into Zhao Youlin’s eyes. Finally, he shook his head.

  A trace of understanding flashed across Zhao Youlin’s eyes. She mumbled to herself, ‘Indeed, Mu Tingfeng is a passionate lover who is cold on the outside. Urm… Fine… To be precise, he is still very pure when it comes to love. I wonder if someone was there to fan the flames for him. Otherwise, how could he come up with such a terrible idea for getting girls?’


  “Secretary Xia is the one who suggested that I send flowers to you. As for the types of flowers, I personally picked them.” As Mu Tingfeng was saying this, he looked like he recalled something before he added, “I have personally selected the flowers sent to you previously.”


  “You personally pick them all by yourself?” Zhao Youlin was caught by surprise. She looked up at Mu Tingfeng and was stunned upon watching his expression.
