Chapter 690: 187: Breaking News! _5
Aunt Lin handed Ni Yang a pair of scissors, âYangyang, just cut whichever one you fancy, donât stand on ceremony with me.â
âThank you, Aunt Lin.â Ni Yang took the scissors and picked out the roses with the most attractive buds, cutting 36 roses.
Then, Ni Yang took out three colored pieces of plastic paper and a red string from her bag to wrap the roses.
Just a bit of wrapping paper dramatically elevated the rosesâ appeal.
Aunt Lin was amazed, âYangyang, youâre truly impressive!â
Ni Yang laughed, âAunt Lin, itâs the roses that are beautiful to begin with.â
After wrapping the roses, Ni Yang took out a yuan coin from her pocket and gave it to Aunt Lin.
She paid three cents per pound for the roses in the village. With 36 roses, including branches and leaves, it was about two to three pounds.
Aunt Lin refused to take Ni Yangâs money, âItâs just a few roses, Yangyang. If you insist on paying, wouldnât that belittle me?â
Ni Yang laughed and said, âThis is what you make a living from, and I canât just take it for free. Please keep the money; otherwise, I wonât have the nerve to come over and pick roses next time.â
Unable to refuse Ni Yang, Aunt Lin reluctantly took the money, âJust one yuan is too much; these flowers weigh at most two pounds! Yangyang, you must take the change, no matter what!â
Ni Yang took the change, picked up the roses, and rode her bike to the urban area.
Mo Qishen no longer lives at the Mo Family home, but in his own villa.
Ni Yang rode her bike to Mo Qishenâs villa and rang the doorbell.
Mo Qishen was not a morning person.
It was only seven oâclock in the morning, and the doorbell woke him up, leaving him in a terrible mood!
Who could be at the door?
His servants hadnât started working yet, and he didnât like to have strangers stay over, so he had to answer the door himself.
Mo Qishenâs face was taut, and his thin lips were almost a straight line as he climbed out of bed and threw off the duvet. A strong, intimidating aura radiated from him.
A disgruntled boss is not a good thing.
When Mo Qishen opened the door with his frosty demeanor, he was met with a bouquet of fiery red roses.
âTa-da! Happy birthday, Brother Mo!â A face as beautiful as a painting emerged from behind the bouquet.
Contrary to the adage, she even put the roses to shame!
Instantly, Mo Qishen lost all his temper. He picked up Ni Yang and asked, âYangyang, how did you know today is my birthday?â
Ni Yang, holding the roses in one hand and wrapping her other arm around Mo Qishenâs neck, responded, âDidnât you know I can predict the future?â
âYangyang, youâre brilliant!â Mo Qishen, overjoyed, spun Ni Yang around several times.
No one but his parents had ever genuinely remembered his birthday.
At this moment, denying his feelings would be a lie.
âYangyang, thank you!â Mo Qishen hugged Ni Yang tightly.
âWhy are you talking nonsense?â Ni Yang returned, smiling: âBy the way, Brother Mo, besides the roses, I prepared another mysterious gift for you. Can you guess what it is?â
Mo Qishen rubbed his nose, âA tie?â
âNo.â Ni Yang shook her head.
âClothes?â
Ni Yang continued shaking her head.
âPerhaps shoes?â
Ni Yang still shook her head.
Despite guessing several items, Mo Qishen got them all wrong.
Ni Yang sighed, âBrother Mo, youâre truly hopeless!â
Mo Qishen shamelessly responded, âIâm dumb, and youâre smart, we complement each other perfectly.â
Only then did Ni Yang produce a gift she had started preparing months prior.
âDo you like it?â
It was a wine-colored knitted scarf. Although it didnât look too attractive, it was warm.
âI love it!â Mo Qishen nodded hastily, âYangyang, did you make this yourself?â
Ni Yang smiled faintly, âFinally, a smart guess.â
It was her first time knitting a scarf. It took over a month of undoing and redoing the knitting to finally finish it.
Oddly, she usually picks up things quickly, but knitting scarves was not one of them.
âHelp me put it on.â
âSure.â Ni Yang nodded, picked up the scarf, stood on tiptoes, and said, âJust bend down a little.â
Mo Qishen bent down as instructed, and Ni Yang effortlessly put the scarf around his neck.
But at that moment, a cool touch suddenly grazed the corner of her lips.
The scent of tobacco filled her nostrils.
Light and pleasant.
Just as sudden, he released her.
Ni Yang headed towards the kitchen, âBrother Mo, you havenât had breakfast yet, have you?â
âIâll do it.â Mo Qishen followed Ni Yangâs footsteps.
Mo Qishen felt that as long as he was there, Ni Yang shouldnât be cooking alone.
âYouâre the birthday boy today, how could I let you cook? Iâll do it.â Ni Yang pushed Mo Qishen towards the door, âQuickly go upstairs and get changed. Once youâre dressed, we can eat.â
