Chapter 68: Chapter 68: Sending Flowers

"Well, go ahead." Qin Jiran said, adopting a wait-and-see attitude.

"It’s fine to talk about that, but it’s more appropriate to offer suggestions based on the situation. Boss, why don’t you share your experience with your wife?" Zhan Minghui asked tentatively, his eyes wandering curiously.

Qin Jiran somewhat regretted giving him the chance to speak now. Was such a gossipy personality really suitable for a playboy?

"Just talk about how you date your girlfriend. The rest isn’t your business." Qin Jiran definitely wouldn’t tell others about him and Su Yanyi. That was a story that belonged only to him and Yanyi, a little secret between them, and he didn’t want anyone else to know.

Zhan Minghui pouted but didn’t continue to pry. Instead, he started to brainstorm seriously. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to ask further; it was that he understood Qin Jiran well. The way Qin Jiran was behaving now clearly indicated he wouldn’t divulge anything, so Zhan had to seek insight indirectly.

"There are many ways to date, you know, like dining, shopping, going to bars, staying in hotels. But I guess none of these are what you’re looking for, Boss. So, do you want something romantic or thrilling? You can at least talk about that, right?"

"Something special, something warm, and not messy." Qin Jiran thought for a moment before answering. He wasn’t into romance, nor did he feel Su Yanyi liked it. He didn’t like thrills and didn’t feel Su Yanyi did either. He thought that something warm and a little special was quite suitable. Of course, the main point was that he still thought Su Yanyi liked those kinds of things.

"Tsk, tsk, where’s the passion, Boss? That won’t do. Won’t Queen Su find you too boring?" Zhan Minghui looked at his boss with some worry. He knew his boss was always the icy type, but he hadn’t expected him to be so conservative and dull in a relationship. Listen to that—something warm? That’s what old married couples go for. Dating needs passion and excitement!

This time, Qin Jiran genuinely felt at a loss for words. Just the day before, Su Yanyi had complained about him being dull, and now Zhan Minghui was saying he lacked passion. Could it be that Yanyi thought the same?

At this thought, Qin Jiran’s complexion changed, showing displeasure and even a hint of despondence. That was just the way he was. What should he do to change it?

Zhan Minghui noticed the changes in Qin Jiran’s expression and couldn’t help but laugh. But after laughing, a hint of envy crept in.

If one could find true love, who would willingly play the field and flirt? Wasn’t it because life felt uninteresting that one would constantly go out and play? If he could really meet a woman who would make him devoted, that would be his blessing and happiness.

"Sigh, Boss, don’t lose heart. I was just talking. Queen Su is no ordinary woman; maybe she likes mature and restrained men like you." Zhan Minghui consoled Qin Jiran, speaking from the heart. Otherwise, why would Queen Su agree to marry him? It couldn’t be because she disliked him that she married him, right?

In Zhan Minghui’s eyes, since the two were married, with Su Yanyi’s standards, she wouldn’t compel herself to settle for someone she didn’t like. It was natural that she liked Qin Jiran.

As for why Su Yanyi initially chose Qin Jiran as her marriage partner, aside from the fact that she liked him, his maturity and restraint were indeed significant reasons. Of course, the main reason was that Qin Jiran was handsome and had no complicated background, though it was unexpected that he turned out to be part of the Qin family.

Qin Jiran didn’t say a word, but he regained some confidence. However, Zhan Minghui’s comment about him being dull was etched in his memory.

The evening arrived quickly, and Qin Jiran had his car parked in front of the company half an hour early after confirming a while ago that he would pick up Su Yanyi from work.

Qin Jiran glanced at the ninety-nine roses on the back seat, a cliche sentiment that nonetheless made his face turn red and his heart beat faster with embarrassment.

Would Yanyi like flowers? Of course, she should like them, but he didn’t know whether she would appreciate the roses he was giving her.

Maybe he shouldn’t give them to her, in case Yanyi didn’t like them and things got awkward. However, Zhan Minghui, that kid, had said that it was best to give flowers on a date. Usually, one or two flowers would suffice to show one’s feelings, but on special occasions, one could give more to express deeper emotions. This should be counted as their first official date; it was certainly a special day, right?

Su Yanyi learned from Kang Zhong’s report that Qin Jiran had already arrived, not that Kang Zhong meant to remind her on purpose. After all, he had no idea that today was the day of the president and the president’s husband’s date. He only mentioned it after seeing it from the window. Upon hearing this, Su Yanyi suddenly lost the will to work and left the office twenty minutes early.

So, while Qin Jiran was still torn about whether to give the flowers, Su Yanyi had already opened the passenger-side door and gotten into the car.

"Let’s go." After Yanyi got into the car, she buckled her seatbelt and didn’t say much, leaving Qin Jiran to take the initiative.

Qin Jiran was startled and glanced at Su Yanyi unnaturally before sneaking a peek at the flowers in the back seat with his peripheral vision. Such a big bunch of flowers, did Yanyi not notice them, and should he mention it?

Su Yanyi, with her keen senses, noticed the change in Qin Jiran’s behavior and followed his gaze, naturally seeing the big bunch of flowers in the back seat.

To say she was surprised would be an understatement, but Su Yanyi simply asked expressionlessly, "Are they for me?"

"Yes, do you like them? I passed by a flower shop and thought they were pretty, so I bought them." Qin Jiran was too embarrassed to admit he had gone there specifically to buy them, fearing Su Yanyi would find it tacky. It was his first time giving flowers to someone, after all.

Did she like them? She was surprised, but whether she was thrilled or liked them, not so much. But after giving it some thought, she felt they seemed pretty, although it was a bit of a pity.

"Next time, send a potted plant, or even seeds will do, something that lasts a long time." No wonder they say Su Yanyi has a low EQ. When someone gave her roses, she requested a potted plant for next time. Compared with Qin Jiran’s lack of romance, she was about the same.

Qin Jiran’s expression showed a moment of astonishment, then turned into a mixture of regret and joy. He nodded very seriously, indicating he would remember her words, and at the same time, he inwardly blamed Zhan Minghui. He had known from the start not to trust that guy. When Minghui suggested giving flowers, Qin Jiran had thought Su Yanyi would prefer potted plants, only to be ridiculed by Minghui for his lack of romance. But as it turned out, it was Minghui who wasn’t romantic and didn’t understand—Qin Jiran’s thoughts were exactly the same as Yanyi’s. That must be the best option!

Hmph, he would never trust Zhan Minghui again. Playboy words are simply unreliable!
