Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Some people, you feel like they have a story to tell the moment you meet them.

The moment Lu Yan saw Liu Yunshu, he was captivated by her swaying figure.

The dark red velvet cheongsam hugged her curvaceous figure, making her look like a swaying red rose as she walked, captivating all who looked at her.

His throat bobbed slightly, and his gaze unconsciously followed that beautiful figure.

The bustling crowds at the airport had become a background; all he could see now was that graceful red figure.

Just then, a reckless child carrying a toy car rushed over and bumped into Liu Yunshu's side.

Liu Yunshu was straightening the folds in the hem of her cheongsam when she was caught off guard by the sudden collision and staggered to the side.

Lu Yan almost instinctively stepped forward and reached out to firmly embrace her waist.

When his palm touched the soft curves beneath the velvet fabric, his heart skipped a beat, and his voice was a few decibels lower than usual: "Be careful."

Liu Yunshu steadied herself, looked up at him, her fingertips brushing against his wrist, and smiled apologetically, "Thank you." Then she walked forward.

Lu Yan watched as the dark red figure blended back into the crowd, the velvety touch still lingering on his fingertips and the faint scent of roses emanating from her.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.

The next second, his eyes darkened as he saw her joyfully heading towards a man.

Seeing the two laughing and talking as if no one else was around, Lu Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the atmosphere around him instantly dropped several degrees.

He looked at the man critically, and thought, "Tsk! Not so great."

He's not as tall as him, his shoulders aren't as broad, and he looks silly when he smiles. How could he be worthy of that vibrant color?

"Mr. Lu? Your coffee."

At that moment, the assistant rushed over from not far behind.

Lu Yan withdrew his gaze, gave a faint "hmm," and reached out to take the cup of coffee.

He watched that graceful figure swaying back, his eyes burning with intense emotion.

Suddenly, the woman turned around and glanced at him, giving him a slight smile.

His throat bobbed violently, and he suddenly understood what it meant to "turn around and smile, and all the beauties of the six palaces would pale in comparison."

Even the air seemed to carry a faint scent of roses, just like the scent on her body.

The assistant followed his gaze.

A dark red figure could be seen walking forward with the flow of people in the crowd; its figure was indeed eye-catching.

Wow! So beautiful!

Lu Yan tightened his grip on the coffee cup slightly, glancing at his assistant with a warning look in his eyes.

The assistant shrank back when he was met with that gaze, immediately stopped his exclamation, and wisely shut his mouth.

He silently withdrew his gaze and strode towards the car door.

But once inside the car, her gaze couldn't help but linger on the figure walking side-by-side with the man outside the car window.

Only after the car had driven far away and the dark red color had completely disappeared from the rearview mirror did he look away, his fingertips unconsciously tapping his knee.

never mind…

A fleeting sense of disappointment, which Lu Yan himself was unaware of, flashed through his mind.

Meanwhile, Liu Yunshu got into a taxi and had just given the address when she heard Xiao Ba excitedly scream: "Host! Target's emotional value +20%!"

Liu Yunshu smiled, her fingertips tracing the buttons on the collar of her cheongsam: "As expected."

"Ahhh! How did it drop to 10% again?! What's going on?!" Xiao Ba exclaimed, expressing her disbelief.

"Don't worry," Liu Yunshu said, a sly glint in her eyes as she looked at the receding street scene outside the car window.

"The prey has its eye on the bait."

Liu Yunshu leaned back in her chair, her fingertips gently caressing the cool jade bracelet.

In the following days, Liu Yunshu continued to manage the flower shop as usual.

"Strange, why does this emotion value keep going up and down like an elevator?" Xiao Ba scratched his head in confusion.

A knowing glint flashed in Liu Yunshu's eyes, and she slightly curled the corners of her lips.

That afternoon, a black Bentley pulled up in front of the flower shop.

Xiao Ba's data stream instantly exploded with excitement: "Host! It's Lu Yan's car! He's here! He's here!"

Liu Yunshu was bending down to trim the rose thorns when she heard this and looked up, just in time to see Lu Yan push open the door and get out of the car.

The man was still wearing a sharp suit, but today he wasn't wearing a tie, and the top two buttons of his collar were undone, adding a touch of casual sexiness.

He stood in the doorway, his gaze fixed on her with a hint of aggression.

Liu Yunshu put down the rose shears, her fingertips gently twirling a petal, and a perfect smile curved her lips: "Sir, would you like to buy some flowers?"

She didn't remember him, and a sense of loss flashed through Lu Yan's heart.

He strode into the flower shop, his gaze sweeping over the dazzling array of bouquets before finally settling back on her.

Today she wore a dark blue cheongsam embroidered with large flowers, with orchids and peonies intertwining and climbing all over the skirt, gleaming with a warm luster in the light.

Compared to the brilliance of that day, today it has a more refined elegance, like black jade soaked in water, pleasing to the eye and captivating.

Lu Yan's gaze lingered on the slit of her cheongsam for half a second, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly: "Mm."

"Is it a gift or for personal use?" Liu Yunshu stepped forward, her fingertips brushing against a bouquet of newly arrived blue roses. "If it's a gift, this is a nice one, with a unique meaning."

Lu Yan's gaze followed her fingertips, his voice low: "Give it away."

"Is it for a man or a woman?" Liu Yunshu looked up, her amber pupils as clear as glass in the light. "The meaning of the flowers is different for different recipients."

There was a two-second silence before Lu Yan suddenly asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Yunshu chuckled inwardly, tilting her head as if deep in thought, the champagne gold at the ends of her hair shimmering in the light.

"Judging from the gentleman's demeanor, this seems like a gift for someone important. If it were a lady, I would recommend the pink roses next to it; they are gentle yet thoughtful."

She reached for the pink rose, and as she raised her wrist, the jade bracelet swayed gently, making a soft tinkling sound.

Lu Yan's gaze fell on that wrist, and his emotional value on Xiao Ba's panel "poof" rose to 15%.

"This is it," he said, pointing to the pink rose.

Liu Yunshu deftly wrapped the bouquet, tying the ribbon into a pretty bow on her fingertip: "It'll cost 99 yuan in total."

When Lu Yan scanned the QR code to pay, his fingertips inadvertently touched the hand that was handing him the phone, and both of them paused at the same time.

His fingertips had thin calluses, but were very warm; her fingertips were slightly cool, as if they had just touched a dewy flower branch.

Thank you for your patronage.

Liu Yunshu withdrew her hand first, her smile polite, as if the touch just now was an accident.

Lu Yan silently took the pink rose and walked out, inwardly cursing his own clumsiness with words.

Xiao Ba watched the man's departing figure, blinked, and thought, "Shouldn't I ask for his WeChat or something at this point?"

"You know so much?" Liu Yunshu moved the empty flower bucket to the corner and picked up a fallen rose petal with her fingertips.

"Hehehe, I crammed on some short romantic dramas~"

Liu Yunshu tapped its forehead. "Watch fewer of those short dramas. He'll be back tomorrow."

Liu Yunshu twirled the petal between her fingertips, her eyes curving into an even more alluring smile.

Xiao Ba blushed and her heart pounded; this guy was simply born to be captivating!

The next afternoon, the black Bentley indeed pulled up in front of the flower shop right on time.

When Lu Yan pushed the door open and came in, Liu Yunshu was watering a pot of lily of the valley.

She changed into a moon-white cotton and linen cheongsam, with delicate silver threads embroidered on the collar, which made her skin appear even more translucent. She looked less flamboyant and more elegant and refined, like a night-blooming cereus quietly blooming under the moon.

"You're here again, sir?" She turned around, a perfectly timed look of surprise in her eyes, then smiled. "What kind of flowers would you like today?"

Lu Yan's gaze lingered on her for two seconds before shifting to the flower stand: "Do you have... sunflowers?"

"Sunflowers?" Liu Yunshu put down the kettle, walked to the corner, and brought over a pot of sunflowers that were in full bloom.

"Just arrived, what do you think of this one? It looks so vibrant."

She tiptoed slightly, her fingertips brushing against the golden flowerpot. Sunlight streamed through the glass window, falling on her long eyelashes and casting a small fan-shaped shadow.

As Lu Yan gazed at her fair neck, his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily.

"This is it." His voice was a little hoarse.

Liu Yunshu wrapped the sunflower and deliberately lingered a beat before handing it over, her fingertips lightly brushing against the back of his hand.

This time, Lu Yan didn't dodge, letting the slightly cool touch linger for a moment.

"38 yuan."

When paying by scanning the QR code, Lu Yan suddenly asked, "How long has your flower shop been open?"

Liu Yunshu raised an eyebrow, leaning against the flower stand in a languid manner: "Not long, only about a year."

"Hmm." Lu Yan's gaze swept over the business license on the wall. "Liu Yunshu?"

"It's me," she admitted frankly, tilting her head to look at him. "And sir? I still don't know how to address you."

"Lu Yan".

The moment he gave his name, Xiao Ba excitedly shouted, "Host! Your emotional value has reached 25%!"

Liu Yunshu's smile deepened as she extended her hand: "Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Lu Yan held her hand, and this time he didn't rush to let go.

Her hands were soft, like the finest silk. He could even feel the calluses on her fingertips from tending to the flowers and plants, which added to her genuine charm.

"Nice to meet you." His voice was lower than usual, carrying a subtle gentleness.

As he released his grip, Lu Yan looked at the lingering warmth in his palm and suddenly said, "There's a nice coffee shop nearby, would you like to...?"

Before he could finish speaking, a man suddenly rushed into the flower shop; it was Liu Yunfan.

Holding two movie tickets, he excitedly shouted, "Are you free tonight? I'll treat you to a movie!"

Liu Yunshu turned to look at him, but Lu Yan's gaze fell on the two movie tickets, and the atmosphere around him began to drop again.

Xiao Ba issued a tense warning: "Host! Your emotional value has dropped back to 20%!"

Liu Yunshu patted Liu Yunfan on the shoulder and smiled apologetically at Lu Yan: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, it seems I'm not free today."

Lu Yan clenched the sunflower in his hand and said calmly, "It's alright, maybe next time."

When he turned to leave, his steps were heavier than yesterday.
