“Okay.”

Gao Yuan nodded. A few days ago, he happened to run into Xiang Xiaoyuan while he was doing some business. During their chat, Xiang Xiaoyuan had also mentioned the convenience store to him a few times. Although he was not very clear what Mrs. Lu was thinking, Gao Yuan’s wife had told him not to probe into a woman’s thoughts, because you would never understand the brain circuits of a woman.

Therefore, he gave up trying to guess Xiang Xiaoyuan’s reason for opening a convenience store. He just had to do his part. For example, on the opening day, he would send a flower basket on behalf of the boss, and at the same time, he would pay for the flower basket himself. He wanted to express his good wishes for the opening of the lady boss’s store.

Lu Wanggui recalled the expression on Xiang Xiaoyuan’s face when she asked him to support her. He added, “You can send a few more in the right amount.”

Gao Yuan was stunned. What was the right amount? As a personal assistant, he needed to know these details. Unfortunately, Lu Wanggui did not give him the chance to ask in detail. The moment his phone rang, he waved his hand to signal Gao Yuan to leave.

Gao Yuan: “…”

Since that was the case, he could only do as he pleased.

However, he really could not decide how many more to send. Taking advantage of the lunch break, Gao Yuan asked his wife out. While eating lunch, he raised his concern. “CEO Lu said to send more. How many more do you think I should send? CEO Lu is too busy. I’m too embarrassed to ask him about such a small matter.”

He didn’t want CEO Lu to think that he was incompetent and couldn’t even handle such a small matter.

“Actually, I want to know why your lady boss wants to open a convenience store.”

Gao Yuan guessed, “She’s probably bored and wants to pass the time. Just like when you were bored before, didn’t you want to open a flower shop or coffee shop or something? Her thoughts should be similar to yours.”

Gao Yuan’s wife smiled and shook her head. “When I was bored, I didn’t think about opening a convenience store. Alright, let’s not dwell on this for now. With CEO Lu’s wealth, the number of flower baskets shouldn’t be too small. It’s best if we can gather an auspicious number, such as 99,1314, and so on. But considering the fact that the convenience store your lady boss opened can’t be too big, if we send too many flower baskets, it will cause congestion.”

Gao Yuan hurriedly nodded. He felt that his wife’s analysis was very reasonable.

His wife lowered her head and thought for a while. “Why don’t we send 11 flowers? It means ‘one and only’.”

Gao Yuan scratched his head. “This is the first time I know that numbers have so many meanings.”

His wife smiled. “You straight men don’t have any romantic ideas at all. It would be strange if you knew.”

Gao Yuan chuckled and doggedly picked up a piece of rib for his wife. “Thank God for you.”

In the eyes of outsiders, Lu Wanggui and Xiang Xiaoyuan’s marriage must have been because of love. Lu Wanggui loved Xiang Xiaoyuan so much that he married her.

And so…

On the opening day of the convenience store, Xiang Xiaoyuan woke up early and quietly went out. In order to get a good start, she even wore a red dress superstitiously, implying that business would be booming in the future.

Just as she arrived at the convenience store, Xu Xiyao followed. After the two of them busied themselves for a while, the first guest who greeted them was not a guest, but the florist.

The young man parked his car by the side of the road and happily instructed his men to carry the flower baskets. Eleven flower baskets were placed neatly in front of the convenience store one after another. What was even more exaggerated was that each flower basket was hung with a banner that read:

[ I wish my wife’s convenience store a great opening! ]

[ I wish my wife’s convenience store a great income! ]

[ I wish my wife’s convenience store a never-ending stream of customers! ]

…

Red banners, big words in gold, and festive greetings. Seeing the frequent appearance of the two words ‘wife’, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s expression was almost numb.

She stood in front of these cringey flower baskets, her face filled with confusion. What was going on? Were these the flower baskets that Lu Wanggui had given to her? Why did it feel so different from Lu Wanggui’s style?

Or was his heart filled with old-fashioned romance, and she had been deceived by his appearance?

She really couldn’t accept this kind wife-loving behaviour!

Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at the flower baskets in front of her, and she gradually returned to her senses. This style of doing things was too out-of-character for Lu Wanggui’s. She didn’t believe that this was the work of Lu Wanggui. In other words, would a workaholic like Lu Wanggui personally order the flower baskets? Would his deep cello voice tell the flower shop staff the message of these embarrassing banners word for word?

No!

Therefore, Lu Wanggui might have arranged for his assistant to do this. Thinking of Gao Yuan’s character and his ability to occasionally speak in a language that made people speechless, Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that she knew the truth.

Knowing that these flower baskets were arranged by Gao Yuan, Xiang Xiaoyuan’s shocked mood eased a little. After hearing Xu Xiyao’s voice, she walked back into the shop and busied herself.

“Okay.”

Gao Yuan nodded. A few days ago, he happened to run into Xiang Xiaoyuan while he was doing some business. During their chat, Xiang Xiaoyuan had also mentioned the convenience store to him a few times. Although he was not very clear about the brain circuits of Mrs. Lu, Gao Yuan’s wife had told him not to probe into a woman’s thoughts, because you would never understand the brain circuits of a woman.

Therefore, he gave up trying to guess the reason for opening a convenience store in Xiao Yuan. He just had to do his part. For example, on the opening day, he would send a flower basket to the boss, and at the same time, he would pay for the flower basket himself, he wanted to express his good wishes for the opening of the Lady Boss’s store.

Lu Wang recalled the expression on Xiao Yuan’s face when he wanted to express his gratitude. He added, “You can send a few more in the right amount.”

Gao Yuan was stunned. How could he send a few more? How many more would it be? As a special assistant, he needed to strictly control these details. Unfortunately, Lu Wanggui did not give him the chance to ask in detail. The moment his phone rang, he waved his hand to signal Gao Yuan to leave.

Gao Yuan:”…”

Since that was the case, he could only do as he pleased.

However, he really could not decide how many more to send. Taking advantage of the lunch break, Gao Yuan asked his wife out, while eating lunch, he raised his doubts. “CEO Lu said to send more. Do you think it’s appropriate for me to send more? CEO Lu is too busy. I’m too embarrassed to ask him about such a small matter.”

He didn’t want CEO Lu to think that he was incompetent and couldn’t even handle such a small matter.

“Actually, I want to Know Why Your Lady Boss wants to open a convenience store.”

Gao Yuan guessed, “She’s probably bored and wants to pass the time. Just like when you were bored before, didn’t you want to open a flower shop or coffee shop or something? Her thoughts should be similar to yours.”

Gao Yuan hurriedly nodded. He felt that his wife’s analysis was very reasonable.

His wife lowered her head and thought for a while. “Why don’t we send 11 flowers? We should take it wholeheartedly.”

Gao Yuan scratched his head. “This is the first time I know that numbers have so many meanings.”

His wife smiled. “You straight men don’t have any romantic ideas at all. It would be strange if you knew.”

Gao Yuan chuckled and doggedly picked up a piece of rib for his wife. “Thank God for you.”

..

The Red Banner, the large golden words, and the festive greetings. Especially the frequent appearance of the two large words ‘wife’, Xiang Xiao Yuan’s expression was almost numb.

She stood in front of these flower baskets that were filled with the smell of dirt, her face full of confusion. What was going on? Was this the flower basket that Lu Wanggui had given to her? Why did it feel so different from Lu Wanggui’s temperament?

Or was his heart filled with the smell of dirt, and she had been deceived by his appearance?

She really couldn’t accept this kind of pampering of his wife!

Xiang Xiaoyuan looked at the earthy flower baskets in front of him, and his shocked rationality gradually returned. This style of doing things was too strange to Lu Wanggui’s character. She didn’t believe that this was the work of Lu Wanggui. In other words, would a workaholic like Lu Wanggui personally order the flower baskets? Would his deep cello voice tell the flower shop staff the contents of these embarrassing banners word for word?

No!

Therefore, Lu Wanggui might have arranged for his assistant to do this. Thinking of Gao Yuan’s character and his ability to occasionally speak in a language that made people speechless, Xiang Xiaoyuan felt that he was telling the truth.
