Chapter 2302: Don’t Throw It Away
“Don’t throw it away!”
Jiang Yao snatched the flowers and hugged them in her arms. “I like it! I like it a lot!”
Her actions were more honest than her words. She was more worried than anything else when she learned that Lu Xingzhi was going to throw it away.
“Who was it that day who stared at that bunch of fake flowers without blinking?”
“Me! It was me!”Jiang Yao was incredibly spineless and accepted responsibility, but so what? She was enjoying the bouquet of flowers in her arms right now.
It was a bouquet of bright and beautiful roses, not a bun.
“Do you know what red roses meant?” Jiang Yao could not put it down and hugged it. Then she turned around and confronted Lu Xingzhi. She was a little emotional, and her eyes were filled with joy.
“I like you,” Lu Xingzhi answered without hesitation.
“No!” Jiang Yao corrected Lu Xingzhi anxiously. “I love you.”
“Okay, I got it.” Lu Xingzhi pinched Jiang Yao’s chubby face and laughed. “The birthday girl confesses her love to me late at night. It’s a little too much.”
The smile on Jiang Yao’s face froze for a second. Then she was so angry that she was amused. Only then did she realize that Lu Xingzhi was teasing her rather than not knowing what the flowers meant.
That guy was getting more and more out of line.
‘You’re—” Jiang Yao hit Lu Xingzhi on the shoulder. “You were never like that before.”
‘What was I like before?” Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows.
Jiang Yao rolled her eyes at Lu Xingzhi; he had asked despite knowing the answer. He would not have had so many tricks up his sleeve in the past. Or rather, in the beginning, he was too cautious when he interacted with her. How could he be as open as he was at that moment?
However, if someone asked Jiang Yao if she liked the new Lu Xingzhi, the answer would undoubtedly be yes.
“I’ll put the flowers in a vase.” Jiang Yao hugged the flowers and wanted to sit up. She pushed Lu Xingzhi. ‘Turn the lights on.”
“Leave them there until tomorrow morning.”
Lu Xingzhi pulled her back onto the bed. Then, he reached out to grab the flowers in Jiang Yao’s arms and prepared to place them on the side. However, Jiang Yao hugged them tightly and refused to let go. She even glared at him.
“I’m just putting them aside for you,” Lu Xingzhi explained. “I’ll give you another gift.”
Jiang Yao blinked and then released her hand. She looked at the flowers Lu
Xingzhi had taken away and put on the bedside table. After making sure the flowers did not fall to the ground, she smiled at Lu Xingzhi and reached her hand toward him. There was a hint of slyness in her voice. “There’s a second gift? Did you prepare twenty gifts for me just like Madam Cheng?”
‘You’re so beautiful.” Lu Xingzhi reached out and tapped Jiang Yao’s nose. Then, he put a bracelet on Jiang Yao’s hand. Jiang Yao looked down and let out a gasp. Then, Lu Xingzhi reached out and touched her earlobe. He put the earring on her ear.
Then, Lu Xingzhi turned the lights on and handed her a mirror. “I designed this set of jewelry myself. I found an expert overseas to make it. The stone is from a top-grade jade that I collected earlier. However, it’s not big. The rest is only enough to make a pair of tiny earrings.”
That was what Lu Xingzhi was sorry about. He could have designed a necklace and ring for Jiang Yao if he had had enough jade material..
