Ji Chen was also very surprised but he never showed his emotions too much. He just nodded to Jiang Baiwan. “I came for work. Did Tan Mi invite you to this hotel?”
Jiang Baiwan nodded blankly. She hadn’t quite come back to her senses—— Ji Chen was actually staying across from her. If she didn’t know what kind of person Ji Chen was, Jiang Baiwan would have suspected that he was following her.
“Have fun.” Ji Chen wanted to talk more with Jiang Baiwan, but he was really busy with the matters at hand, so he could only nod hastily towards her. “If there’s anything you need from me, just tell me directly.”
Not knowing what she had said, she returned to her room as if she was sleepwalking. It was the sound of the door closing when the attendant left that woke her up and summoned Jiang Baiwan’s mind back.
……This was too much of a coincidence.
Jiang Baiwan pinched her own cheek. It hurts, so it seems that she’s not dreaming. But why did Ji Chen went to such a place for work? Was he going to talk business while soaking in the water?
Thinking of Ji Chen sitting in the spring, chatting about work with someone, Jiang Baiwan couldn’t help laughing—— Forget it, forget it. If Ji Chen was there, so be it. There weren’t many coincidences in life.
The big-hearted Jiang Baiwan quickly put this matter to the back of her mind. She was busy studying the wireless earphone used for the hotel. There was a long list of service items placed next to it, dazzling Jiang Baiwan, who couldn’t help but sigh once again from the bottom of her heart—— She was tired of saying the sentence: ‘I can’t imagine the happiness of the rich’.
———
Gu Dongcheng’s heart was itchy. After returning to his room alone, he couldn’t help thinking about the woman next room. He didn’t know if it’s due to illusion or wishful thinking in his heart, but Gu Dongcheng felt like the woman next door was somewhat similar to the woman he had always kept in his heart.
He sat on the seat for a while before finally reaching for his mobile phone and calling the subordinate who followed him there. “Go to the front desk and help me find out who’s staying in the room next to mine.”
Gu Dongcheng’s subordinate seemed to be quite used to handling these things and was not surprised when he heard what he said, only responding briefly. Gu Dongcheng hung up the phone. He looked at the wall on the side and couldn’t help but speculate in his heart—— What kind of beauty lived on the other side of the wall?
Jiang Baiwan who was sitting on the bed, sneezed.
Why does it seem like someone was thinking about her? There was a sudden, inexplicable chill.
Jiang Baiwan shook her head and began to concentrate on studying the wireless earphone in her hand again. She’d been tossing and turning for a while now, and she probably knew how it works. However, it was currently late, so she would give it a try tomorrow.
As she was thinking this, Jiang Baiwan glanced at her phone. Looking at the time displayed on it, Jiang Baiwan unexpectedly thought of Ji Chen who was staying across from her.
Was he still working as before at this late hour?
Before the thoughts in Jiang Baiwan’s mind were finished, there was a knock on the door. Full of confusion, she went to open it, only to see that a large bouquet of roses had suddenly appeared on the floor, but no one was there.
Roses?
Jiang Baiwan subconsciously picked up the bouquet. She found no card after searching for a moment. She had a bewildered face. The roses in her hands were fresh and delicate, and they looked expensive…… but who had nothing to do that they would send her flowers?
She stood in the doorway deliberating for a while before finally carrying the flowers into the room.
Gu Dongcheng’s subordinate was standing in a hidden place at the corner and was gently relieved when he saw Jiang Baiwan take the roses in. He quickly left the corridor and called Gu Dongcheng to tell him that the matter had been done.
What Gu Dongcheng’s subordinate didn’t saw was that not long after entering the room, Jiang Baiwan ran out with the bouquet. She carefully stuffed the room card into her pocket, as the fragrance of the roses in her hand caused Jiang Baiwan to sneeze several times.
This body had a slight pollen allergy, though it’s not serious. It only made Jiang Baiwan sneeze. Jiang Baiwan quickly put on a mask with her free hand before heading to the front desk with the roses.
The night shift staff at the front desk was slightly stunned when she saw Jiang Baiwan’s outfit, but her strong professionalism made her return to normal in an instant. “Hello Miss, is there anything we can do for you?”
“It looks like someone sent this bouquet of roses to the wrong place.” Said Jiang Baiwan with a straight face as she put the roses on the front desk counter. “I don’t know anyone here, so it’s impossible that someone would send me roses.”
It wasn’t that Jiang Baiwan hadn’t doubted Ji Chen, but the idea had been dismissed as soon as it had risen—— A man like Ji Chen wouldn’t send roses. She could still remember the first time she met him; Ji Chen had given her a check for 200,000!
So the only answer was that the bouquet of roses was sent to the wrong place.
The receptionist also looked confused. She had never encountered such a situation before. Could the roses have been delivered to the wrong place? But couldn’t it also be that some man took a fancy to this young lady and left it at her doorstep?
With this in mind, the receptionist carefully expressed her guess, “Miss, could it be one of your suitors? Roses won’t be misplaced casually.”
“Suitor?” Jiang Baiwan was stunned for a moment and then vetoed this possibility herself. “No, how could anyone have seen me when my friend and I haven’t even left the room since we came to your hotel? And since no one has seen me, how can anyone want to pursue me? So it must’ve been sent to the wrong place.”
Jiang Baiwan’s confident expression made the staff waver. “T-then…… Miss can leave this bouquet of flowers at the front desk and we will handle it.”
“Yes, please.” Jiang Baiwan breathed a sigh of relief. “I’m slightly allergic to pollen. Can you please send me some allergy medicine later?”
The receptionist responded quickly and took down Jiang Baiwan’s room number. After Jiang Baiwan left, she examined the bouquet of fiery red roses once again—— Had they been delivered to the wrong place?
After a dreamless night, Jiang Baiwan slept until the sun was high before fully waking up. The sunlight outside was tightly blocked by the curtains. She opened her eyes and looked at the ceiling. It took her a while to realize where she was.
Ah, yes, she’s there on vacation.
Jiang Baiwan jumped up from the bed and stretched her limbs out, but couldn’t help grimacing. The bed in the hotel was large and comfortable, however, for Jiang Baiwan, who was used to sleeping on harder beds, the feeling brought by spring mattress after a night’s sleep was a sore back.
She walked into the bathroom supporting her waist and hurried to wash up, while also taking time to reply to Tan Mi’s message. Tan Mi was up early and was in the hotel library at the moment. Tan Mi made fun of Jiang Baiwan on the phone before the two finally arranged to meet at the hotel’s dining hall.
Jiang Baiwan grabbed the phone, looked up and saw the wireless earphone on the bedside table. She hesitated for a moment before picking it up and putting it on her ear—— She was already here, so it didn’t matter if she enjoyed it, right? Having money but not spending any would be foolish.
Ever since Gu Dongcheng found out that Jiang Baiwan had accepted the roses last night, he felt strangely excited. On the one hand, he felt that Jiang Baiwan was indeed a pretentious woman who just accepted the roses regardless of who the sender was, while on other hand, he felt that if that was the case, would he be able to spend a happy night with the beauty next door tonight?
Anyway, it’s a fair deal, and no one owes anyone. Gu Dongcheng carelessly thought. After dawn, they would just part. This kind of short-lived affair wasn’t unfamiliar to him.
By the way, what’s the name of the girl in the next room mentioned yesterday……? Surnamed Jiang? The hotel’s confidentiality was quite good. If it weren’t for privately bribing a staff member, he wouldn’t even be able to see a photo of that Miss Jiang.
Now that the roses have been delivered, the other person should also understand his meaning. As long as the person showed up, they could have a more detailed conversation.
With this thought in mind, Gu Dongcheng sat in the lounge next to the corridor early in the morning. He held a book in his hand, though he wasn’t reading it at all, but just quietly waiting for the rabbit.
However, he waited and waited, he had been waiting since morning, but why hasn’t the woman next door moved yet?
Just when Gu Dongcheng was about to lose his patience, he finally saw the woman he was waiting for. He surveyed Jiang Baiwan, who was wearing a pair of black sandals and a simple T-shirt and jeans. Her whole person was like a hibiscus coming out of clear water, bright and full of the vividness of a young girl.
Gu Dongcheng’s eyes stared straight at Jiang Baiwan, his heart speeding up a little—— She was indeed lovely. Thought still a lot inferior compared to her, she was already beautiful.
This time, Gu Dongcheng was all the more looking forward to his next escapade. He stood up and straightened his clothes, then walked towards Jiang Baiwan with a clear goal in mind.
Jiang Baiwan was using the earphone to communicate with the front desk at this time. She didn’t know if it was because the signal wasn’t very good but the voice on the other side was a bit broken. Jiang Baiwan needed to concentrate to be able to clearly hear what the receptionist was saying.
“Miss Jiang, hello.” Gu Dongcheng stood in front of Jiang Baiwan, showing a gentle smile. “Please allow me to introduce myself, I am Gu Dongcheng.”
Jiang Baiwan cast a confused glance at the man who suddenly stopped in front of her, not paying attention to what he was saying at all. At this time, the voice of the receptionist happened to came through the earphone, “Good noon, Miss.”
Jiang Baiwan hummed. “Hello.”
Gu Dongcheng saw the beauty giving him a shy and timid(?) look, as she respond to his greeting, and his mood brightened up even more. He picked up where he left off and asked with a smile, “I wonder if Miss Jiang is satisfied with the roses I sent you yesterday?”
Ji Chen was also very surprised but he never showed his emotions too much. He just nodded to Jiang Baiwan. “I came for work. Did Tan Mi invite you to this hotel?”
Jiang Baiwan nodded blankly. She hadn’t quite come back to her senses—— Ji Chen was actually staying across from her. If she didn’t know what kind of person Ji Chen was, Jiang Baiwan would have suspected that he was following her.
