Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Without any hesitation or affectation, she thanked him softly and got into the car smoothly.

After Shen Jingshu was seated, Lu Jingxing closed the car door and walked around to the driver's seat. Shen Jingshu turned to look at him, her eyes crinkling with a smile: "So, where are you planning to take me today?"

When the topic of their date came up, Lu Jingxing, who was usually decisive and in control of everything, had a rare hint of unfamiliar seriousness in his eyes.

Ever since Shen Jingshu agreed to go on a date with him last night, President Lu, who runs a vast business empire, made an unprecedented call to his personal secretary overnight.

The moment the call connected, Secretary Liu was completely stunned.

Having followed Lu Jingxing for many years, he knew his boss was cold and aloof, always focused on work and the big picture, and was detached from worldly desires and romance, never having anything to do with the word "dating".

I received a call from my boss late at night. I thought it was an urgent business call, but to my surprise, I heard a familiar, cool voice on the other end of the line. For the first time ever, I asked him what I should do on our first date, what I should prepare, and how to plan the process.

Secretary Liu was immediately disillusioned, repeatedly checking the caller ID and verifying the voice, even secretly wondering if her boss had been switched or possessed by a ghost.

After a few seconds of stunned silence, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: the boss is in love!

What kind of stunning girl could make the aloof and cold CEO Lu lower himself to humbly ask for dating tips? Secretary Liu was full of curiosity, but dared not ask a single question.

He himself was a workaholic who had been working all year round and had never had any dating experience. He could only quickly tell President Lu to wait a moment, and then he quickly opened the webpage and searched through all the dating guides, and worked through the night to put together a detailed dating plan for beginners.

The plan is clearly organized, outlining the essential steps for a couple's date: relaxing at an amusement park, watching a movie, and having a gourmet dinner, with flowers being an indispensable element for creating a romantic atmosphere. It even thoughtfully suggests experiencing thrilling rides like haunted houses and roller coasters to bring couples closer and enhance intimacy.

Lu Jingxing frowned slightly as he looked at the densely packed dating schedule on the screen, a hint of confusion in his heart.

Is dating just about doing these ordinary, mundane things?

He had never been involved in love and didn't understand its romance, yet he was exceptionally serious about it. As long as it could make Shen Jingshu happy, he was willing to do it clumsily and awkwardly.

Gathering his chaotic thoughts, Lu Jingxing reached out and took a beautifully packaged bouquet of perfectly blooming flowers from the back seat, handing it to Shen Jingshu.

The vibrant, full bouquet of flowers, carrying a delicate fragrance, wafted towards us.

Shen Jingshu's eyes instantly filled with surprise, and she subconsciously looked up at the man beside her: "You bought this on purpose?"

She simply couldn't imagine it.

Lu Jingxing was always aloof and dignified, with a commanding presence and an aura that kept strangers at bay—a veritable tycoon of the business world, untouched by worldly concerns. Such tender, romantic, and down-to-earth little things were completely out of step with his persona.

But ironically, this man, who had never been involved in romantic affairs, clumsily and earnestly learned all kinds of tenderness for her.

There's actually a cute little misunderstanding behind this bouquet of flowers that no one knows about.

Although Lu Jingxing's secretary, Secretary Liu, is a hardworking and steady workaholic, she is surprisingly thoughtful and considerate when it comes to these details of romance.

After preparing a complete date guide for Lu Jingxing last night, he also spent the whole night reviewing flower shops in Beijing, carefully selecting the best-reputed and most popular flower shops among girls. He even compiled the shop addresses, popular bouquet styles, meanings, and color schemes, and attached them to the schedule.

Finally, he cautiously inquired, "Mr. Lu, if you need it, I can pre-order and pack it for you and send it over."

But Lu Jingxing refused outright.

He believes that romance and sincerity should never be entrusted to others.

For a man to truly show his sincerity, the flowers he gives to his girlfriend must be personally selected and purchased by him.

So the next morning, when it was still bright, Lu Jingxing drove alone for more than ten kilometers to that popular flower shop.

When he arrived, the shop had just opened, and two or three shop assistants were busy arranging the fresh flowers that had just arrived that morning. There were also a few female customers picking out bouquets, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

The glass door was pushed open, and the doorbell rang crisply.

The shop assistant subconsciously looked up to greet the customer, and just as he was about to smile and say, "Welcome, how can I help you?", the words got stuck in his throat.

The girl widened her eyes slightly, staring blankly at the man who slowly walked into the store, and was instantly stunned.

The morning light streamed through the doorway, falling entirely on Lu Jingxing.

The man was tall and straight, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. His features were refined and cold, his eyes deep and noble, exuding a cool and aloof aura. The way he stepped into the flower shop against the light was like a top-tier nobleman who had stepped out of a comic book, his extraordinary temperament captivating at first glance.

All the female customers and other staff members in the store involuntarily turned to look at him, their eyes all falling on him with undisguised amazement.

For a moment, the flower shop fell silent.

The shop assistant, stammering and slightly flustered, quickly stepped forward and said, "S-Sir, how can I help you?"

Lu Jingxing's gaze swept lightly over the blooming flowers in the shop, his voice clear and low, and he spoke directly:

I want to buy a bouquet of flowers for my girlfriend.

A simple sentence was uttered.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the store felt a wave of disappointment and regret.

It turns out that such a handsome and charismatic top-tier man, a rare find in this world, is already taken.

Everyone felt a pang of regret, yet they couldn't help but stare intently at the man before them.

The sales clerk quickly composed herself, perked up, and began her enthusiastic yet nervous introduction: "Sir, if you're looking for a gift for your girlfriend, we have many best-selling items! Champagne roses are gentle and versatile, red roses are passionate and romantic, and we also have baby's breath and tulips—all styles that girls love and that sell best!"

As she spoke, she pointed to several exquisite bouquets, each with a variety of styles, all gentle and delicate.

For an average man, he would most likely just pick one that looks good and call it a day.

Lu Jingxing looked down at the colorful flowers on the table, his thoughts unusually serious.

He had read the guide his secretary had compiled last night and knew that different flowers had completely different meanings, and he couldn't afford to make even the slightest mistake.

He didn't want the most beautiful one, but the one that best suited Shen Jingshu and complemented her best.

After a few seconds of quiet consideration, he pointed to a bouquet of mixed white lisianthus and light pink roses blooming beside him, and said with certainty, "This bouquet."

The shop assistant paused slightly, then said, "This one? This one is a bit less common, but it's exceptionally clean and gentle!"

"Hmm." Lu Jingxing nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the delicate, full petals, a faint tenderness flashing in his eyes. "It suits her very well."

Clean, clear, lively, and gentle—just like Shen Jingshu in his heart.

The female guests watching nearby were instantly charmed.

Being handsome and having an amazing aura is one thing, but being so meticulous and thoughtful in choosing flowers, not following the crowd, and knowing how to pick the ones that best suit his taste is such a big plus!

The shop assistants quickly brought out brand new flowers, carefully trimmed the branches and leaves, and meticulously packaged them. Layers of lining paper and delicate ribbons made the whole bouquet look clean and elegant.

While packing, she couldn't help but whisper, "Sir, your girlfriend must be incredibly beautiful and gentle, right?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxing's thin lips curved slightly, a faint smile he rarely showed in front of outsiders, and his tone was extremely firm: "Yes, very good."
