1850 Improved by Leaps and Bounds
Shi Xiaoya suddenly fell speechless.
In the past, this man was as cold as could be, yet the two of them had only confirmed their relationship for two days and his flirty talk seemed to have improved by leaps and bounds.
It came so naturally to him.
Gone were the days of his indifferent expression.
If she told other people, it would totally not match his image!
Right after that, she heard Han Zhuoling say again, "You can only wear such garments in front of me next time."
"…" Shi Xiaoya said while blushing, "I didn't even know you were going to come. I only wore that because I was the only one at home. And it's because I just finished bathing, so I didn't change into other clothes. I was the only one at home, there's no one else to look…"
"You can let me look next time." Han Zhuoling smiled lightly as his voice got even lower and hoarser.
"When you're alone, or when I am around."
Shi Xiaoya was extremely flustered by him and mumbled, "How come I couldn't tell that you would be like this before?"
"Like what?" Han Zhuoling asked with his eyebrow raised.
"Like… I'm not the only one who thinks so. Everyone thinks you're especially cold and aloof. Who would have thought that you actually know how to say such things in private?" Shi Xiaoya said.
"I will only say such things to you." Han Zhuoling suddenly frowned. "Or do you not like me being like this?"
Shi Xiaoya thought to herself, How was she supposed to answer this?
If she said she liked it, it would sound as if she liked being teased by him very much.
But if she said she did not like it… well, she actually did feel that the two of them need not be so distant with each other.
In the end, just with this one question, Shi Xiaoya was completely at a loss for words.
Although Shi Xiaoya did not say anything, Han Zhuoling already knew Shi Xiaoya's answer, and he could not help but laugh.
"You're not sleepy anymore?" Han Zhuoling asked her again.
"I think I feel a little sleepy again." Shi Xiaoya did not dare to go on talking to him.
The words this man was saying now really made her unable to handle it.
She still needed more training.
Han Zhuoling understood. "Then rest earlier."
"You too," Shi Xiaoya said.
When they were about to turn off the video call, they actually could not bear to.
After ending the video call, Shi Xiaoya closed her eyes, feeling calmer than before.
It was Han Zhuoling, on the other hand, who looked down to see himself raised high up in the air. He sighed resignedly.
Shi Xiaoya was not around, and he could not go over to find her, so he could only reach out resolve it himself.

The next day, Han Zhuoling went to the office early in the morning.
When he went there, the staff in the various office departments had not yet arrived.
Only Tong Chunian, as his assistant, arrived at the same time as him.
"Order a bouquet of flowers and have it delivered here in the afternoon," Han Zhuoling said.
"Delivered here?" Not to Shi Xiaoya?
Han Zhuoling glanced at him. "Send it here, to me."
Han Zhuoling straightened his back and said, "I will personally deliver it to her."
When Tong Chunian heard that, he felt a gush of surprise in his heart.
What was happening?
Could it be that he could get off work on time today?
Indeed, after Tong Chunian reported the schedule for today, Han Zhuoling said, "If there's nothing on today, there's no need to work overtime. You can clock out on time."
"Yes!" Tong Chunian answered happily, then quickly went back to work.
He thought to himself that he did not expect to even get such benefits when Young Master Ling was in love.
Thank you, Shi Xiaoya!
At around 4:30 in the afternoon, the florist sent someone over to deliver a huge bouquet of roses.
The flower delivery boy held a huge bouquet of roses and entered the elevator under the curious, nosy gazes of everyone around him.
"I wonder who he came to send the flowers to? It's such a huge bouquet!"
"That bouquet is so big that it's almost going to block the boy's face. Usually, when I see people propose, I don't even see such a huge bouquet of flowers."
