“The rose seeds that I collected from Miss Shen’s house had grown new leaves. The two elders in the family like them very much. My mother kept asking when they would bloom.” Xing Yan said with a smile.
Jiang Rui said: “You can raise seedlings by cutting young branches. If the soil and fertilizer are properly managed, they will bloom this year. Grandpa also likes the orchids sent by Mr. Xing.”
In fact, the rose flower seeds that he took back were taken care of by a gardener. Xing Yan did not even take a second look at them, but he still said calmly: “I see. I don’t have much experience with flowers and plants. It seems that I need to ask Miss Shen for more advice in the future.”
Jiang Rui raised the corners of her lips slightly and said, “I don’t dare to ask for advice. I’m only half-experienced.”
At this moment, the scene of their first meeting appeared in Xing Yan’s mind. She was wearing a white dress, her hair was pulled up loosely, and she embraced the violin. She turned her head around in a sea of beautiful flowers on a hazy afternoon in May.
Even he himself did not expect that he would remember this scene so clearly. He could even clearly see the way her hair fluttered on her forehead when the wind blew.
“What flowers does Miss Shen like?” He asked suddenly.
Jiang Rui thought for a while and seemed a little embarrassed, “My preferences are more tacky. I prefer varieties with bright colors and flourishing flowers, such as rose, hibiscus, albizia julibrissin, and pomegranates.”
This is Jiang Rui’s true preference. Although expensive orchids are pure and clean, people always worry that they are difficult to maintain, and the flowers that bloom seem to be thin. She prefers flowers and trees that are strong in vitality and bloom lively and festively.
Xing Yan was a little surprised. But think about it, if she stood among the flowers and surrounded by colorful flowers, the scene would be very beautiful.
When the car drove halfway, the heavy rain fell. When they arrived at Shen’s house, the rain was still heavy. Fortunately, there was an umbrella in the car. Xing Yan held the umbrella to send Jiang Rui out of the car.
She knocked on the door’s knocker and then looked back at him, “Mr. Xing, do you want to come in and sit down?”
Xing Yan wanted to go in, but there was an old man inside who was not easy to fool.
When they first met, he did not expect that one day he would abduct someone’s granddaughter, so he did not pay much attention to his image. Although he visited twice more later, the old man must have had an average impression of him. He would be too eager if he came to visit now.
It’s better to send the person to the door of the house and then leave by himself. Just like doing good deeds without leaving a name, and he will see if he can make Old Mr. Shen change his mind.
Of course, it is definitely impossible to leave no name.
“Today is too hasty. I’ll come and visit Old Mr. Shen and Old Mrs. Shen next time. The weather is humid. Miss Shen remembers to drink some ginger soup to dispel the cold when she goes back.” Xing Yan said with concern.
Jiang Rui nodded, “I will. Mr. Xing also wants to make an idea. Thank you very much today.”
Xing Yan said half-jokingly: “There’s no need to say thank you. I’m just waiting for Miss Shen to repay me. If you say thank you too much, I will be embarrassed to ask for remuneration in the future.”
Jiang Rui also bent his lips, “Mr. Xing is really humorous.”
Xing Yan lingered outside the door talking to people. He waited until the Shen family’s nanny came to open the door. When he was sure that the nanny had seen him, he said goodbye to the little beauty.
It is difficult for him to go in, but he only needs to be seen by the nanny. When the time comes, she will report to Old Mr. Shen and Old Mrs. Shen. By then, they will naturally know that he helped the little beauty.
If it was said from other people’s mouths, the effect would definitely be different from if you rushed to take credit yourself. If this kind of thing happens twice more, are you afraid that Old Shen won’t change his mind and won’t hand over his granddaughter to him?
The more Xing Yan thought about it, the more confident and content he became. He looked complacent as if he had already married the little beauty.

Oh, I remember someone mocking Xiao Lin about thinking about which kindergarten his child will go to in the future after only meeting a girl!
