Shen Ye then realized that he had taken too much money and quickly explained, "Oh dear, I was lucky today. I met a super rich man who threw me a wad of cash to buy all the flower baskets so that his female companion would be happy."

“You’re so lucky,” Alice said enviously. “I’ve been selling flowers for so many years and I’ve never met such a generous customer. I’m lucky if I can sell a few flowers in a night.”

“You’ll encounter this again in the future,” Shen Ye said, handing the wad of money to Alice.

“I don’t want it, this is what you earned from selling flowers.” Alice shook her head.

“But you gave me this money.” Shen Ye grabbed Alice’s hand and placed the money in her palm.

“And I’ll be staying at your house for a long time,” he added.

"Well... alright then." Alice finally accepted the money.

……

Before going home, Alice took Shen Ye to a nearby store.

After all, I made so much money tonight, I should treat myself to something nice.

Of course, you can't buy anything good in the slums, so the two of them only bought some more expensive meat and daily necessities.

After that, they returned home.

Ms. Emina hadn't gone out that evening; she had been waiting for them at home. She was somewhat surprised when she opened the door and saw the two of them returning with large bags and packages.

However, she didn't ask anything, she just asked Shen Ye if he was hungry.

This made Alice very unhappy, because her mother would usually ask her first.

“He is a guest,” Emina said to Alice, hands on her hips.

"Hmph!" Alice pouted, then sat down on the sofa in a huff and turned on the TV.

Chapter 146! Trouble

……

Seeing Alice sulking, Shen Ye shook his head, then sat down next to her, watched TV with her, and chatted with her for a while.

Not long after, Amina came out of the kitchen and called Shen Ye and Alice to have a late-night snack. Of course, Alice didn't eat much because she wanted to maintain her figure, so most of the food went into Shen Ye's stomach.

After Shen Ye finished eating, Amina had already gone to sleep, leaving only Alice to help clean up the table.

Shen Ye originally wanted to come by himself, but Alice refused, so he could only cross his arms and lean against the door frame to watch her.

"Phew! Finally finished." Alice wiped her hands with a towel.

Then she turned around and looked at Shen Ye: "Aren't you going to rest?"

"How can I go and rest when you're busy here?" Shen Ye shrugged.

"Hmph, at least you have a conscience," Alice snorted, then said with a smile.

“However, now that you’ve finished your work, I’ll go and rest.” Shen Ye straightened up.

"Mmm." Alice nodded and waved to Shen Ye: "See you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow!"

……

Over the next few days, Shen Ye's life was very regular. During the day, he would accompany Alice to take care of her flower garden, and at night he would accompany her to sell flowers in various commercial districts.

Of course, when he has free time, he will still go to Seventh Heaven occasionally to have a drink and chat.

Shen Ye originally thought that he would continue living this way until the plot officially began.

However, trouble sometimes comes knocking on your door.

……

It was another night of accompanying Alice to sell flowers. As usual, Shen Ye carried a flower basket and wandered aimlessly through the streets of the commercial district of the Eighth Block.

But when he arrived at the entrance of a luxury restaurant, he was suddenly stopped.

"Are you here to buy flowers?" Looking at the person in front of him who looked like a bodyguard, Shen Ye didn't think much of it and just asked lazily.

"Yes," the bodyguard-like man nodded.

"How many do you want?" Shen Ye asked. "Thirty-one flowers, no bargaining."

“All of them,” the man said.

"All of them?" Shen Ye immediately perked up, glanced down at the flowers in the basket, calculated the price, and said, "Nine hundred yuan in total, what do you think?"

“Okay.” The man nodded, then said, “However, the buyer is not me, but someone else, and you need to deliver it in person.”

"No way!" Upon hearing that he had to see him off himself, Shen Ye immediately refused; he couldn't be bothered to run away!

The man was taken aback when Shen Ye refused, then frowned in displeasure: "Listen, the person who bought your flowers is a big shot. Don't push your luck."

"Give it or not, it's up to you." Shen Ye glanced at him, snorted coldly, and walked past him.

Seeing that Shen Ye was about to leave, the bodyguard-like man became anxious and reached out to grab Shen Ye's shoulder.

Sensing the commotion behind him, Shen Ye frowned, preparing to retaliate, when he suddenly heard a seductive, mature female voice: "Stop."

Then Shen Ye heard the crisp sound of high heels approaching him.

"hiss!"

Shen Ye immediately sensed something was wrong, because he thought of someone.

He turned around and saw Scarlett, who was jogging towards him from the restaurant.

"We meet again, my warrior." Seeing Shen Ye turn around, Scarlett stopped and stood in front of Shen Ye with an extremely elegant posture.

Although Shen Ye really wanted to say that he didn't want to see her again, he thought about it and decided not to say it. Instead, he asked, "Did you rush out like this to pay me back?"

"Is money all you care about?" Scarlett rolled her eyes in annoyance. The man in front of her seemed a bit clueless about romance. Her pose was completely pointless.

"Otherwise what? Do you have something else to say?" Shen Ye looked Scarlet up and down. He had to admit that Scarlet, dressed in a red dress, was indeed stunningly beautiful. Time seemed to have left few traces on her, instead giving her a unique charm that he couldn't see in Alice and Tifa.

Scarlett had been watching Shen Ye closely. When she saw him looking her over, she didn't show any displeasure. Instead, she changed her posture and let Shen Ye look at her openly.

Then she asked, "Would you like to have a drink with me?"

"No." How could Shen Ye possibly drink now? He was going home with Alice later, and if she smelled alcohol on him, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

Although Shen Ye thought Alice wouldn't say anything.

Shen Ye's rejection surprised Scarlett. She looked down at her outfit, especially her figure, which she was most proud of, and began to feel puzzled.

Am I really that unattractive?

After thinking for a moment, Scarlett said, "Stay with me for a while, and I'll give you the money."

"Sorry, I sell flowers, not my body." Shen Ye shook his head and prepared to leave. He didn't want the money; he didn't want to get too involved with the Shinra people.

Seeing that Shen Ye didn't even want the money anymore, Scarlett felt a sense of defeat. Then, seeing the other party turn around and leave, Scarlett simply followed.

"Why are you following me?" Shen Ye asked, looking at Scarlett who was only a step away from her, with a bit of a headache.

“I wasn’t following you!” Scarlett put on an innocent look. “The road is wide enough for me to go whichever way I want. How is that following you?”

"Whatever!" Shen Ye ignored her and turned his head away to continue walking forward.

"Hmph!" Seeing Shen Ye's expression, Scarlett felt a little smug. "Little boy, you can't escape your big sister's grasp."

Seeing Scarlett clinging to him like a leech, Shen Ye felt helpless and could only quicken his pace, trying to shake her off.

However, Scarlett seemed to know what he was thinking. As he sped up, Scarlett sped up as well, and even took off her high heels to catch up with him.

But Scarlett was a woman accustomed to a life of luxury, and her feet, which were only covered by stockings, quickly became blistered from running on the hard cement floor, and her speed gradually slowed down.

Even so, she still gritted her teeth and persevered, following Shen Ye with faltering steps.

Soon, the two, one running and the other chasing, arrived at a secluded street.

"Hey……"

At this point, Scarlett finally couldn't hold on any longer, cried out in pain, and fell to the ground.

Hearing the cries of pain behind him, Shen Ye initially didn't want to pay attention, but the subsequent sobbing made him stop.

Turning around, Shen Ye frowned as he looked at Scarlett, who had a mournful expression and was sobbing softly.

"You're almost forty, why are you still doing this kind of thing!" he thought to himself.

Chapter 147! The Proactive Bad Woman

……

To be fair, although Scarlett is a tall, voluptuous blonde mature woman, her soft, sobbing appearance still evokes a sense of pity.

"How old are you, still crying?" Shen Ye walked up to Scarlett, squatted down, and frowned as he looked at her.

"Why can't you cry? It hurts." Scarlett looked up at Shen Ye, her eyes filled with tears, completely unlike her usual capable and strong woman self.

"That's your own fault for insisting on following me and even taking off your shoes," Shen Ye said coldly, looking at Scarlett.
