1509 Look How You Startled the Lady
No wonder Han Zhuoling finally fell in love.
"Hello. I was sent by Mr. Han Zhuoling to deliver these flowers to Ms. Shi," Xiao Zhang said.
Guo Yujie's smile froze; she realized that she misunderstood.
Gosh!
How embarrassing!
Guo Yujie blushed. Fortunately, she didn't speak her thoughts just then or she would now be beyond mortified.
"This…" Guo Yujie knew of the bad blood between Shi Xiaoya and Han Zhuoling. "Give it to me, then."
Xiao Zhang smiled politely. "Our Young Master Ling specifically instructed me to hand it to Ms. Shi personally."
Xiao Zhang scratched his head. "He… just… wanted to apologize, with all his heart!"
Guo Yujie looked at the flowers, thinking that such a big bouquet must have been expensive, but if he really wanted to apologize, why didn't he come himself and had sent someone else? Where's the sincerity in that?
However, Guo Yujie still said, "Right, then let me tell Xiaoya first."
"Alright, thanks." Xiao Zhang smiled.
Shi Xiaoya had just finished arranging her stuff when Guo Yujie knocked on her door. Opening it, she said, "Xiaoya, someone's here to send you flowers and want you to receive it personally."
Guo Yujie dared not say it was from Han Zhuoling.
She was afraid Shi Xiaoya would refuse without seeing it.
Treat it as doing him a favor, then, to at least let Shi Xiaoya know this.
"Flowers?" Shi Xiaoya was curious. Who would send her flowers?
Outside her office, Xiao Zhang heard Guo Yujie's words and knew why she'd worded it this way. Shooting a look of thanks, he then turned towards Shi Xiaoya.
"Hello, Ms. Shi. I'm Young Master Ling's chauffeur—you can call me Xiao Zhang," Xiao Zhang said, introducing himself. "Young Master Ling gives you these flowers."
Shi Xiaoya took a couple of steps back in shock.
What was going on?
Han Zhuoling giving her flowers?
That aloof man actually sending flowers?
Over her dead body!
She couldn't even imagine the scene.
Under what circumstances did Han Zhuoling think of giving flowers?
Xiao Zhang: "…"
What sin!
Look how you startled the lady by giving her a bunch of flowers.
You can see how scary Han Zhuoling usually is!
Even speaking of him sending flowers was something one won't believe, let alone actually him doing it.
Xiao Zhang smiled and took a step forward. "Ms. Shi, this was specially bought by Young Master Ling, and he asked me to deliver it to you. Young Master Ling's card is inside too. You must read it."
Shi Xiaoya couldn't shoo him off with the flowers, could she?
But she refused to believe that Han Zhuoling requested to buy the flowers, because it was impossible no matter how she thought about it.
Perhaps he just mentioned buying something in apology in passing, and his assistant thought of flowers.
Else, who would use a bunch of roses to apologize when they're just friends?!
It's not like… like they were lovers or something…
Shi Xiaoya blushed and took the flowers.
Her blush refused to fade with a big bouquet of fresh, red roses in her arms.
"Thank you for the trouble," Shi Xiaoya said. Feeling that Han Zhuoling's delivery was all his assistant's idea, she thanked Xiao Zhang.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang didn't leave.
She couldn't drive him away, so she asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xiao Zhang pointed at the flowers in her arms. "Won't you please take a look at Young Master Ling's card inside?"
"…" Shi Xiaoya noticed there was a card in there, but Xiao Zhang meant for her to read it right there and now?
"Frankly, if I don't see you reading it right now, Young Master Ling won't be assured. He specifically instructed this to me," Xiao Zhang said honestly. Otherwise, how could he explain his continued presence here?
