Gu Jinyang was so stunned he was lost for words for a moment. He knew that Yu Chen was looking for Luo Xiaolei but he didn't think that Yu Chen was actually more than serious with her. He thought that Yu Chen wanted to pursue her like this because he didn't want to intimidate her but his actions right now were indicating that his reasons went deeper than that.
Yu Chen never once said anything about why she was the one he wanted and why she seemed to be the one he was looking for. Gu Jinyang was also sure that Luo Xiaolei and Yu Chen had never met before that dinner party so this was a real huge question he had been thinking about for a while now. He even tried asking him but Yu Chen didn't answer at all.
"Uhm... boss, what are we going to do with these flowers?" Finally, the bravest guard spoke up. Their numb arms were starting to tremble so one of them could only shut his eyes and speak.
Gladly, his words broke the deafening silence, driving away the noisy Mr. Crow.
Yu Chen's gaze finally fell on them again before he spoke."Get me special vases." He ordered and after a while, luxurious vases were brought in. The men lined up the vases near the wall. When all of them were lined up neatly, one of the guards started to move to go and place the flowers in one of the vases but was stopped by Yu Chen's icy glare.
Yu Chen then stood up, walked closer to one of the guards, carefully took the flowers from him and walked towards a vase. Yu Chen knelt on one knee and rested the flower on his lap before he loosened up the ribbon of the bouquet. The next thing he did was pick up a flower by its stem and then put it in the vase one by one with great care, as if he was handling the most fragile and precious thing on earth.
Watching him, his men's mouth hung open. All of them were obviously so surprised at the same time and they just couldn't believe what was happening. Damn, did our boss have hidden stun guns something? He seems to keep on stunning us nonstop!!
Time passed and invisible sweat drops started falling from the stunned men's foreheads. It was because Yu Chen, their almighty scary boss, suddenly turned into an esteemed and oh so graceful florist. That moment, in the eyes of every man inside, he had already turned into a chibi who was quietly putting the flowers in the vase as though he was counting them in very slow motion. The other guards, who were still holding the rest of the flowers, dropped their shoulders because their arms were so sore from holding out these bouquets out in front of them.
"Gu Jinyang, am I doing it right?" Yu Chen asked and Gu Jinyang immediately replied.
"You're doing great. But, I should help you."
"No."
"But, with that speed of yours, you will take forever to finish that."
"This is something you cannot do in a rush. Flowers needed to be handled with care."
"Then, I will handle it with care. Let me help."
"No, I can't possibly let another man touch her precious present."
"H-huh? Those men already touched them." Gu Jinyang pointed at the guards and when Yu Chen raised his face and looked at them, the guards all shook their heads.
"No, no, no. We didn't touch them. We're just touching the plastic wrap. Look, we're not touching the flowers at all!" they immediately explained, causing Gu Jinyang to sigh in disbelief.
Yu Chen then glanced at Gu Jinyang as if saying the words'See? Now back off', and Gu Jinyang could only stand behind him, speechless. This man... I can't believe this!
Thus, the clock hand kept on tickling while the big boss continued what he was doing in silence.
Even Gu Wei, who was being held back by Guan Ye and Zhou Yuan at the back, looked like he was seeing a ghost."W-w-what's happening with our boss? Is he possessed or something?" Gu Wei whispered and the two standing by his side simply glanced at him without words.
After an hour, Yu Chen stood up and he cracked his neck. He turned to his body guards and gestured for them to leave. He looked at the flowers and he seemed pleased with them, before he went back and sat at his desk.
"Now let's talk about the plan." He said as if his chibi self finally switched back to his usual stern self.
"What are you planning to do?" Gu Jinyang asked and Yu Chen looked intently at him.
"I can't send her flowers anymore now, right?"
"Huh? Why would you think that?"
"She will think I am returning the favor if I do that. She might even think I'm declaring a pursuing war, no?"
"Why? You don't want it to end up like that?"
"Why would I waste my time doing something so idiotic like that? She will only think I'm playing games with her if I do that."
"Well, it's a real surprise that you both thought about the very same move at the very same day. Though, she unexpectedly moved much faster than you. I can't believe a girl actually beat you two times in a row."
