BXBX NOVEL Chapter 223: 9999 Roses_1
He leaned in close to her with an ambiguous smile, his voice, however, was devoid of warmth. “You can rest assured, I won’t spread the story around! That kind of past is so disgraceful, I feel embarrassed just mentioning it.”
Having said that, he scoffed coldly, let go of her, and turned to stride up the stairs.
He left Qiao Ning alone, standing there for a long time.
After that, her mind was filled with thoughts…
She thought about her past with Chai Xiyang. There were happy times, joyful moments, and also many instances of sadness…
People usually say that being sixteen is a girl’s brightest time.
But after she turned sixteen, her world became gray.
Because after that, there was no longer any joy between her and Chai Xiyang…
In stark contrast to Qiao Ning’s situation, Hai Xiaotang arrived home to see her living room filled with red roses!
The coffee table, sofa, TV, floor, spiral staircase…
Everywhere held finely crafted baskets full of vivid roses.
If she hadn’t made sure she was at the right house, Hai Xiaotang would’ve thought she had accidentally wandered into a rose garden!
“Mrs. Zhang, what’s going on?” Hai Xiaotang asked in surprise.
Mrs. Zhang, who was arranging the roses, beamed, “Miss, all of these were sent by Young Master Dongfang. So many roses! I heard there are 9999 of them. I tooka quick count earlier and it’s true!”
Hai Xiaotang: “…”
Has Dongfang Yu gone insane?
Right at that moment, her phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Dongfang Yu.
Hai Xiaotang answered, “Hello…”
“Are you home?” Dongfang Yu asked cheerfully, “Did you see the roses? Do you like them?”
“I don’t.” Hai Xiaotang replied honestly, “Wiry did you send so many?”
Dongfang Yu’s mood instantly soured, “I thought you would like them! What is it then? Don’t like red roses? What flowers do you like?”
“So whatever I like, you’ll send me loads of?” Hai Xiaotang retorted instead of answering.
“Yes ” Dongfang Yu’s response was confident and unhesitant, “So what do
you like?”
“I like nothing. Dongfang Yu, gifts aren’t a measure of anything. Don’t ever do something like this again.”
Dongfang Yu’s good mood was completely ruined; he said darkly: “Hai Xiaotang, are you rejecting my goodwill? Have you forgotten what you promised me?!”
“I haven’t forgotten, but I will accept your goodwill selectively; I won’t accept all of it…” Hai Xiaotang tried to explain, but before she could finish, Dongfang Yu blew up.
“Hai Xiaotang, are you trying to go back on your word?! Today you tell me you’ll only accept my goodwill selectively, tomorrow you’ll say you don’t want any of it?! Hai Xiaotang, I’m telling you, don’t you dare go back on what you promised!”
Hai Xiaotang said with a headache, “So, you want me to comply with you unconditionally, and accept everything you give?”
“Dongfang Yu, I gave you a chance in the hopes of growing naturally. I won’t deliberately accommodate anything just because I gave you a chance, so if I don’t like the flowers you send that means I don’t like them, I don’t want to pretend to like them. However, thank you, but next time, don’t send anything. Let’s interact naturally.” Having said that, Hai Xiaotang immediately hung up the call.
Although Dongfang Yu looked gloomy on the other end of the call, he curiously remained calm.
He just thought that Hai Xiaotang didn’t understand him.
He may think that sending her gifts is natural, but she doesn’t.
