Cheng Yaozu didn’t expect both Cheng Su and Ning Ge to be here. Instinctively, he wanted to hide the flowers behind his back, but they were such a big bunch, bright and obvious, hiding them was impossible, which made it look even more suspicious. So he just boldly embraced them and walked over.
"Hey, long time no see! How come you’re all here? What a coincidence!" Cheng Yaozu raised his hand, laughing heartily, though it was unclear what he was trying to cover up.
Cheng Su glanced at the flowers in his hand with a half-smile and said, "Yes, quite the coincidence. I didn’t know you were so familiar with our factory, coming here without a word!" As she spoke, she glanced at Ying Xiaoya: "Fourth Young Master Cheng, your thoughts have really traveled far and wide!"
"Uh, wasn’t I planning to surprise you?" Cheng Yaozu explained.
"A surprise for us, or for someone else?" Cheng Su drew out her words, looking at Ying Xiaoya again.
Ying Xiaoya blushed, her heart inexplicably fluttering. This interruption saved her from crying, and she turned her head away to dab at her eyes with a tissue.
Cheng Yaozu, slightly embarrassed by the teasing, coughed and said, "All the same." He then offered the flowers to Ying Xiaoya: "For you, picked them on the way. Didn’t you say you liked these?"
Ying Xiaoya was stunned, as she instinctively took them.
Ning Ge put a finger to his mouth and whistled loudly, winking at the two.
Ying Xiaoya’s face turned bright red, and she said, "I never said that!" Yet she held onto the flowers, unwilling to let go.
Cheng Su saw through it and thought to herself that Cheng Yaozu had indeed come at the perfect time, a heaven-sent opportunity.
"If you don’t want them, just throw them away, they’re worthless anyway!" Cheng Yaozu said carelessly.
Ying Xiaoya replied, "Yanmei likes them too, I’ll give them to her, she’ll put them in the office." With that, without waiting for anyone to reply, she quickly ran into the office with the flowers.
