Chapter 481: Four hundred eighty-one Insomnia_1

"The flowers from the shop are very good, I want to buy a few more," he said to Boss Gu.

"They are passable. If Mr. Guo Rong finds it inconvenient to come out, you can give me your address, and I can deliver the flowers to you."

Boss Gu said this to Guo Rong because for him, delivering to Guo Rong was no trouble at all.

After all, Guo Rong’s identity was clear, and he was one of Boss Gu’s favorite celebrities.

So what harm was there in offering a bit of convenience?

"No need, I will be returning tomorrow, so I wanted to come over and take another look today," Guo Rong said to Boss Gu.

As he spoke, there was a hint of regret in his eyes.

"Today we still have the same flowers as yesterday. Mr. Guo Rong is welcome to have a look as he pleases," Boss Gu told Guo Rong.

Even if Boss Gu hadn’t mentioned it, it wouldn’t have mattered, since Guo Rong had already been captivated by the scent of the fresh flowers.

At that moment, he was already cradling a bouquet of flowers and taking in their scent with great care.

"The scent is truly good. Boss, how do you grow these flowers? I am willing to pay for this secret method," Guo Rong said, his fondness for the flowers apparent.

"Hahaha, Mr. Guo Rong, every family has its own treasures. It’s not that I don’t want to share my planting method, but even if I did, it wouldn’t be of any use, because a lot of things are exclusive to me," Boss Gu replied to Guo Rong.

After hearing this, Guo Rong didn’t press Boss Gu further. Having roamed the world and experienced much, Guo Rong understood this principle well.

As it is said, paths that do not cross are like parallel lines.

"I’ve been suffering from insomnia for a long time, but last night I fell asleep smelling your flowers. Your flowers also have a soothing effect, which is really unexpected," said Zhang Guorong with affection.

For a long time now, insomnia had been practically his normal state.

At that moment, Boss Gu seemed to understand something as well.

He had heard of Guo Rong’s insomnia long ago.

Mr. Guo Rong’s insomnia wasn’t a matter of one or two days, but rather a well-known issue.

Boss Gu didn’t know what things Mr. Guo Rong might have on his mind that he hadn’t yet had the chance to express.

But Boss Gu did know one thing: in years to come, it would become a cause for grief for countless people.

"If Mr. Guo Rong likes them, he can take all these fresh flowers," Boss Gu told Guo Rong.

"It’s a pity I’m leaving. I wonder how long the fragrance will last," Guo Rong said.

"A single flower can last about seven days without wilting. Counting today, it’s the third day for the flowers in the store.

If Mr. Guo Rong needs them, I can go back later and pick a few fresh ones that should last another seven days," Boss Gu offered, a hint of embarrassment in his voice since not all the flowers in his shop were fresh.

He hadn’t planned on replacing yesterday’s leftovers every day.

Doing so would be too troublesome for one, and mainly, the cost wouldn’t work out.

"If it’s not too much trouble, then I’d be much obliged, Boss," Mr. Guo Rong said to Boss Gu.

Upon hearing this, Boss Gu fully understood.

It seemed Mr. Guo Rong was severely afflicted by the symptom of insomnia, otherwise, he surely wasn’t someone who would willingly trouble others.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Guo Rong. I’ll be right back," Boss Gu said, then hurried off.

Guo Rong stayed alone in the flower shop, enjoying the floral fragrance.

At this time, Boss Gu didn’t drive home.

He zigzagged around Chuan City for almost ten minutes.

After ten minutes, he triumphantly returned with five bunches of flowers in hand.

After his arrival, he took the flowers back into the shop.

To his surprise, he found that Mr. Guo Rong had already fallen asleep on his wooden lounge chair.

Gu Chen hadn’t expected that, in just ten minutes, Mr. Guo Rong had completely dozed off.

What kind of physical condition must one have to end up like this?

For a moment, Gu Chen found it hard to imagine because it’s not common for someone to fall asleep so quickly.

Especially considering what the weather is like outside right now? The sun is blazing under the clear sky.

Those who can sleep in broad daylight either stayed up late the night before, like Ji Pianran, or are in such poor health that they can’t help but fall asleep uncontrollably.

Seeing his peaceful slumber, Gu Chen couldn’t bear to disturb his sleep.

He just didn’t know what kind of things he had gone through; otherwise, why would he have had such trouble falling asleep for so long?

Thinking about the things Mr. Guo Rong might experience in a few years, Gu Chen felt a sense of regret.

The world was about to lose a great talent.

However, Gu Chen knew he couldn’t change the future or history.

No matter what he became, Gu Chen would support him.

As Mr. Guo Rong was sleeping there, Gu Chen quietly stood guard beside him.

It was probably close to an hour and a half later.

Mr. Guo Rong slowly awoke from the lounge chair.

Upon waking, seeing Gu Chen sitting beside him, he looked a bit flustered.

"I’m terribly sorry, Boss. I couldn’t help falling asleep after smelling the flowers in your shop."

Guo Rong apologized very politely to Gu Chen.

He hadn’t expected to fall asleep here.

Gu Chen just smiled nonchalantly, "It’s no trouble at all, Mr. Guo Rong. You were simply too tired, and I understand."

"Mr. Guo Rong, these are five flowers my spouse wanted me to give you. They were all freshly picked today, and should easily remain fresh for seven days," Gu Chen said to Guo Rong, who was a bit overwhelmed by the gesture.

"Boss Gu, you are being too generous. I can’t accept your flowers without paying," he said to Gu Chen.

"There’s no need, Mr. Guo Rong. It’s just a small token from my spouse, and it wouldn’t be right to take your money," Gu Chen replied, gesturing with his hand that he had no intention of accepting the money.

After hearing this, Mr. Guo Rong nodded and then said to Gu Chen, "Then, thank you very much, Boss. May I ask your name?"

He asked out of curiosity, as he didn’t even know Gu Chen’s name yet.

"My name is Gu Chen, Mr. Guo Rong. You can just call me Xiao Gu," replied Gu Chen.

"Boss Gu, I hope we’ll have the opportunity to meet again in the future," Mr. Guo Rong said to Gu Chen.

He had to rush back and didn’t have more time to spend in Gu Chen’s shop.

"Sure, Mr. Guo Rong. I will certainly welcome you warmly on your next visit," Gu Chen nodded.

Then he watched Mr. Guo Rong leave with the five bunches of flowers in hand.

After watching him go, Gu Chen sighed.

Guo Rong was truly humble in real life, a true gentleman.
