285 Meeting Chu Cichen Again!

Shen Ruojing left the movie room and headed upstairs.

At the second level, she saw a female butler looking at her ardently with an excited expression. It was as though she was waiting for her to arrive.

Shen Ruojing then pushed open the bedroom door under the butler’s gaze which was filled with anticipation.

The moment the door opened, a world of red rose petals entered a vision.

The rose petals also formed a heart shape on the bed, and there was a large bouquet of 999 roses placed on the ground. There was even a teddy bear made from roses sitting on the sofa.

When the butler saw Shen Ruojing’s stunned expression, she immediately started celebrating. “Miss Shen, are you happy? Do you feel this is a great surprise? Sir arranged someone to prepare these the moment you went out!”

Shen Ruojing. “…”

She fell silent and suddenly turned to the butler. “Do you know that flowers can breathe too?”

The butler. “?”

She asked blankly, “What do you mean?”

“I mean that flowers will also draw in oxygen at night, causing the level of oxygen in the room to decrease. Placing flowers in the bedroom is the most unsuitable thing to do. It is bad for the health of the bedroom owner!”

The butler. “???”

Shen Ruojing looked at her and she looked at Shen Ruojing.

The two of them matched gazes and the butler asked, “Hmm?”

Shen Ruojing took a deep breath. “So, can I trouble you to get someone and clear all these flowers away? Also, please help me open the window so there’s airflow. Thanks.”

The butler. “!!”

(Miss Shen, are you allergic to romance?!)

But she only dared to say this mockingly in her heart, how would she dare to utter it out loud?

The butler immediately got some servants to clean the room and Shen Ruojing quietly sighed.

She didn’t understand why Chu Cichen didn’t want to tell her the truth and kept doing impractical things like this.

At this moment, her phone suddenly rang.

She took out her phone and saw Chu Cichen whom she had removed from her blocklist earlier, sending her a text: [Do you like it?]

“…”

Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched: [If you send me random nonsense again, I will block you.]

Chu Cichen replied very quickly: [All these were Lu Cheng’s ideas, I thought you would like them.]

Shen Ruojing: [I would prefer it if you tell me what you have investigated.]

After she sent this, the phone showed that Chu Cichen was typing…

After a long time, Chu Cichen finally replied. [When we meet again, I’ll definitely tell you everything.]

Shen Ruojing immediately began to anticipate their next meeting.

Just when she had this notion, she discovered Chu Cichen sending her another text: [Do you feel like you really want to see me right now?]

“…”

Shen Ruojing’s lips twitched and decided to ignore him.

At this moment, the butler brought a few servants over. They soon finished clearing the room and the butler spoke, “Miss Shen, I was the one who failed to consider things properly. We will move these rose petals to the bathroom first so you can enjoy bathing in a tub with them. As for the other flowers, we will plant them in the greenhouse.”

“Hmm.” Shen Ruojing grunted in response. When she saw the servants carrying the 999 roses out, she suddenly said, “Hold on.”

The servants paused.

Shen Ruojing then picked out the most vibrant-looking rose from among them before allowing them to leave.

After everyone departed, she then stared blankly at the rose in her hands.

She herself also didn’t understand why she suddenly did such an action…

What could she possibly do with a single flower?

She smiled helplessly. She suddenly stretched her hands out and used the stalk of the rose to bind her long flowing hair. After that, she decided to take a shower in the bathroom.

Chu Cichen didn’t come home for the next two days.

On the third day, it was finally time for Yun Wei to visit the Bai Family. However, what no one had expected was that the Bai Family actually sent two invitations over. One was for Yun Wei while the other was for Shen Ruojing!

Everyone didn’t understand what was going on. Yun Wei was going to meet the Bai Family’s relatives, but why did the Bai Family issue an invitation for Shen Ruojing as well?

However, Madam Yun was extremely happy. She would be worried if Yun Wei went alone, as Yun Wei might not be able to handle so many Bai Family’s relatives. Now with Shen Ruojing accompanying her, Madam Yun felt more at ease.

Shen Ruojing initially didn’t want to go, but after seeing how happy Madam Yun was, she could only choke down her objection and accompany Yun Wei.

…

At this moment, at the Bai Family.

Bai Xiaojiu was currently playing chess with his grandfather at a pavilion in the park.

As Old Master Bai aged, he discovered that his love for classical chinese culture such as things like calligraphy and chess grew.

Bai Xiaojiu asked, “Grandfather, if I win, can you give me that inkstone of yours?”

Old Master Bai immediately mocked, “Hmm, are you forgetting about your grandpa after you have a wife now? Is it not enough that you took my calligraphy piece? Now you are coveting my inkstone as well? I refuse!”

Bai Xiaojiu laughed, “I don’t care! You are the one who helped me with the marriage engagement so you definitely have to protect the Yun Family’s prestige. If not, my brothers and sisters would surely see me as a joke! In addition, after everything, wouldn’t your calligraphy piece return to you in the end?”

Old Master Bai chortled. “Do you really think I don’t know? It’s clear that you like that little lass. If not, how would you swindle your mother to take out 900 million more for the betrothal gifts? It has already surpassed all previous cases even for grandchildren of the paternal lineage!”

Great influential families like theirs emphasized a lot on tradition.

The eldest grandson would have the best of everything no matter what.

As for the other grandchildren, the value of their betrothal gifts was fixed at 100 million. Comparatively, for grandchildren of the paternal lineage, their value of gifts was fixed at 300 million while the eldest grandson’s value of gifts was 1 billion.

Among the grandchildren, Bai Xiaojiu was the only one that gave gifts worth 1 billion!

Bai Xiaojiu laughed. “It’s only because I was afraid Little Wei might be looked down upon by the others. Oh right, today when Weiwei gives the gifts to you, you have to appear happier.”

“I know, I know. You are so naggy.” On the surface, Old Master Bai looked like he regarded the eldest grandson and grandchildren from the paternal lineage highly. But in his heart, he favored this grandson before him the most.

Bai Xiaojiu smiled fawningly.

At this moment, someone entered. “Sir, Miss Yun and Miss Shen have arrived.”

Old Master Bai’s eyes immediately turned to the excited Bai Xiaojiu as he rolled his eyes. “See. As expected, you don’t want grandpa anymore after getting a wife! Sigh, this old man is going to be abandoned. Go on and meet your little wife then!”

Bai Xiaojiu didn’t deny it. “Wait for me to marry her and we will give you a great-grandchild!”

After that, he headed outside.

Old Master Bai immediately added, “Tell the servants to treat Miss Shen more politely. It isn’t easy for us to find an opportunity to invite her.”

He had long since wanted to form a good relationship with that big boss’s daughter, but he was afraid things might be too sudden. But now, on the surface, they could use this pretext of Yun Wei’s visit to invite Shen Ruojing here as well. Old Master Bai wanted to receive Shen Ruojing well.

Bai Xiaojiu paused. “Grandfather, you don’t want to go out and meet Miss Shen?”

Old Master Bai laughed/ “You want me to go out to receive her because you want others to see it as me going out personally to welcome Yun Wei, right? Have you heard of the saying that it isn’t good to be overly excessive? Things might develop in the opposite way as per what you hoped!”

Bai Xiaojiu’s lips twitched. “Tsk, you simply don’t want to do so because you have another guest as well, right? Why are you finding excuses?”

After saying that, he ran off.

Old Master Bai shook his head and asked the butler at the side, “Has that other guest arrived?’

The butler immediately nodded. “He just came. I’ll invite Mr. Chu here.”

“Go on.”

At the entrance, Shen Ruojing and Yun Wei got down from the car.

But she suddenly spotted a black sedan driving past them, entering the inner courtyard of the Bai Manor.

Although the car flashed by them, Shen Ruojing clearly caught the side of the person sitting in the back seat. It was none other than Chu Cichen!

Why were things so coincidental? She ran into him again!

Shen Ruojing narrowed his eyes. This time around, she wouldn’t allow herself to feel soft-hearted anymore!
