Mr. Lu's delicate bag

Chapter 152 Little... Shi Ze

That night, Shen Jiaojiao slept very soundly. It was a rare occasion for her to move back to the second floor after moving out for a long time. Even though she lived on the fourth floor, she slept very peacefully when she thought that he was at home, so close to her. Moreover, she hugged him, touched him, and talked to him a lot tonight.

Lu Shize didn't sleep. After the woman left, he tossed and turned. She said that she dreamed about her, and he seemed to understand what she was hinting at... At around two in the morning, the man got up and went to the bathroom.

Standing under the shower, I took a cold shower. The water poured directly on my head, which barely suppressed my chaotic thoughts.

Special Assistant Chen also had a sleepless night because in the early morning, his mobile phone suddenly received a message from an unfamiliar number - "Merry Christmas".

A name even popped up in his mind, but it shouldn't be her.

He could have checked it out all night to find out who this strange number belonged to... But if it was her, she was so smart and must know how to counter-detect. She must have used a temporary number. If he had just checked it simply, he wouldn't have been able to find out that it was her who sent the message.

On the other hand, if it wasn't sent by her, then... there would be no need to check this number.

His thoughts drifted far away, but he still remembered his only ex-girlfriend lying in his arms.

Lin Yiyu always said at that time that she was afraid of the dark and ghosts. In fact, they had not been dating for long and they started living together. She always snuggled into his arms at night.

During that time, he almost thought that she would stick to him forever.

It's really ironic that even though she is married to that man, I still think of her.

Special Assistant Chen got out of bed and sat on the balcony. He only had cigarettes with him and started smoking one after another.

He really wanted to drink, but there was no wine in the room. He went downstairs to look for Mr. Lu's wine, but Mr. Lu was not at home. It was not good at all. He just felt a bitter taste in his mouth. The more he smoked, the more depressed he felt.

Early in the morning, Gu Sheng arrived outside the villa's wall with a bouquet of flowers. The security booth called, and the housekeeper pressed the button, "Wait a moment, I'll give you a reply shortly."

Butler Zhao walked to the dining table. Lu Shize was waiting for Shen Jiaojiao to come downstairs for breakfast. "Sir, the security guard called and said that a man named Gu came to deliver flowers."

The man looked up, and the housekeeper leaned over hurriedly, "It should be Gu Sheng, coming to give flowers to the young lady"... After thinking for a while, he added, "Today is Christmas, maybe, he is here..."

"Is he coming in too?"

"The security guard didn't say anything, but from the sound of it, it seems that they are just delivering flowers and no one is coming in, so then we..."

Lu Shize really wanted to call Shen Jiaojiao directly and hear her opinion, but he made his own decision the next second, "Leave the flowers here and say thank you again."

"Yes".

The housekeeper made a call, and after the security guard answered, he said directly to Gu Sheng and Li Jin, "The Lu family said that you can keep the flowers, and then they would like to say thank you to you on their behalf."

Li Jinming was smart and quickly grabbed the security guard. "What do you mean? Um... who did you just call? Who in their family is this? If you answer?"

"If the butler comes back, didn't his butler come back last night?"

"yesterday?"

Gu Sheng also understood what he meant. In other words, Lu Shize came back here yesterday? And he was also in the villa now? So, leaving flowers and saying thank you here must be what Lu Shize meant.

Gu Sheng turned around and got in the car, and Li Jin followed him in.

Gu Sheng looked at Li Jin, "Do you think Lu Shize likes Shen Jiaojiao?"

Li Jin looked at his boss as if he was a fool. No, brother, don’t tell me you just realized it?

For a man to do what Lu Shize did to a woman, if it wasn't love? If it wasn't love, what else could it be?

If he really didn't like and love me, and did it to this extent, I would really kneel down to him. Doesn't this prove that he cares about me?

But this expression was fleeting. Li Jin was used to playing dumb. "Ah? Is that so?"

Hearing this, Gu Sheng glared at him, "You idiot! Don't you know this? Yesterday was Christmas Eve, and today is Christmas. He deliberately came back to celebrate the holidays with her! He must be in love with her!"

Li Jin finally understood and nodded, then asked, "Mr. Gu, should we remove the roses from the bouquet?"

When he thought that if Lu Shize liked Shen Jiaojiao, he would have come to give her flowers early in the morning. The theme of this bouquet was happiness, and there were 7 roses in it. He glanced at Li Jin, and Li Jin immediately understood and quickly unbuckled his seat belt.

"Why don't you go quickly?!"

Li Jin quickly said "oh" and got out of the car. He ran to the security booth and pulled out all 7 roses from the bouquet. The bouquet was big enough, so Li Jin quickly gathered it up so that even after 7 roses were pulled out, the bouquet still looked quite luxurious.

And he also took out the cards inside.

This was also the first time that Li Jin had been so meticulous in preparing a bouquet. He hurried back, got into the car, and handed the card back to Gu Sheng. "Mr. Gu, were many of our previous actions wrong?"

"You're the one who should say it! Stop talking!"

Gu Sheng quickly rubbed the confession card hard.

Just when Li Jin went down, Gu Sheng's mind was also turning quickly, thinking about how he had taken the initiative to approach her so many times, and he thought he wanted to pursue Shen Jiaojiao.

But after all, it was Shen Jiaojiao, and thanks to it, he didn't dare to chase her too hard. He had to give enough face to the most pampered young lady in the city. He didn't dare to do it too obviously. He was restricted in many ways and didn't let go of his hand to chase her...

In this way, this pursuit of small actions should not offend Lu Shize too much.

Gu Sheng wiped the sudden sweat from his forehead and said, "My actions of chasing people are not too big, right?"

Li Jin blinked and nodded, "It shouldn't be considered a big deal. If it were a big deal, Miss Shen would have ignored us several times. Besides, President Lu didn't say anything from beginning to end... This shows that our behavior is still within an acceptable range."

Li Jin sighed as he looked at Mr. Gu, and chuckled in his heart.

In fact, it's a good thing that the other party is Shen Jiaojiao. If it was the daughter of the Lu family's mistress, who seemed to be called Lu Yanran, with a family background like that of Mr. Gu, if he pursued her, he might smash bouquets of flowers all day, one bouquet of flowers every half an hour... and then the next day, he would smash brand-name bags, one every hour, for a total of 24.

I don’t believe I can’t get it.

However, this kind of high-profile pursuit somewhat reveals the man's contempt for the woman, and also reveals the man's arrogance towards his own financial resources, because the subtext is, I must get you.

Moreover, these mindless gifts also mean that I have the ability to win you over.

There is no dilemma or caution.

On the contrary, when it comes to Shen Jiaojiao, every time he sends flowers, he has to think of various excuses. Naturally, he wants to pursue her but cannot cause the other party any disgust. Gu Sheng dare not offend her at all.

In fact, he had pursued countless women before. For the easier ones, he could win them over by bombarding them with text messages continuously; for the more difficult ones, he could just throw all kinds of gifts at them, but he could still win them over in a few days.

It was Gu Sheng who pursued the person, and it was also Gu Sheng who dumped the person in the end. After being together for a few days, he felt tired of her and directly proposed breaking up. For some individual people, he would give her a bag or directly take out a bank card to draw a clear line.

In Gu Sheng's love history, from beginning to end, he was the only one who held the initiative.

Li Jin also knew this, perhaps the only exception was Shen Jiaojiao.

The weather was suddenly cold this morning. It was almost 8 o'clock and Shen Jiaojiao hadn't come downstairs yet. Lu Shize turned off the tablet and looked at Aunt Xue, "Go upstairs and call Jiaojiao... She hasn't come down yet. Is she sick?"

Shen Jiaojiao rarely sleeps in. She gets up as soon as she wakes up and usually does morning reading. It's rare that it's almost 8 o'clock like today and there's still no movement.

Aunt Xue went upstairs and knocked on the door gently. When there was no response from inside, she slowly opened the door. Sure enough, Shen Jiaojiao was still sleeping. She hurried over and took a look at her sleeping face. She thought to herself, I really want to take a picture and show it to the young lady herself. She looks so beautiful even when she is asleep.

Aunt Xue hesitated for a moment, but finally pressed her phone and took a photo. As far as she was concerned, she was just an aunt working for someone, and it was indeed not appropriate for her to take photos of her employers... However, she always treated Jiaojiao as her own child, always feeling that Jiaojiao was very young and had no parents. There were many things that other mothers would do, but there was no one around to help her.

For example, no one has ever taken a photo of Shen Jiaojiao sleeping like this.

If this child's mother were still alive, wouldn't such a cute child be photographed like this and like that by his mother every day since he was a child?

Aunt Xue took many photos in a row, then gently pushed Shen Jiaojiao, "Miss, wake up"...

Shen Jiaojiao was sleeping soundly with rosy cheeks. Aunt Xue rubbed her palms quickly, fearing that they were too cold and would scare the young lady, so she gently touched her forehead. Fortunately, she was not hot and did not have a fever.

So... Miss, are you feeling unwell somewhere?

Aunt Xue had no choice but to shout a little louder. After shouting several times, Shen Jiaojiao finally woke up from her daze, opened her eyes, and looked around. It was Aunt Xue in front of her, "... Yeah, I got up..." She was dazed and closed her eyes again.

I went to bed at around one o'clock last night, almost two o'clock. To be honest, no matter how much sleep Shen Jiaojiao got, she never felt it was enough.

"So, miss, are you feeling unwell? Or, are you just sleepy?"

“···Just want to sleep”···

Shen Jiaojiao didn't even want to open her eyes, looking sleep deprived. Aunt Xue nodded, pulled the corner of the quilt and covered her more tightly.

But Shen Jiaojiao suddenly realized something and opened her eyes in a flash, "My uncle is at home!!!"

She got up suddenly, and Aunt Xue quickly took a big blanket to wrap her up, "Yes, your husband is at home, he is still downstairs, waiting for you to have breakfast, there is no rush."

Shen Jiaojiao jumped up, put on her slippers and rushed to the bathroom. After washing up, she ran to the bed to look for her Christmas stockings.

"Auntie, did your uncle ask you to put this in there?"

"Yes."

Shen Jiaojiao pinched it, "Then I'll watch it in the evening. I'm going downstairs now." She was in a very good mood. Looking at the quilt and dolls that Aunt Xue had folded for her, she patted the rabbit and said, "Big rabbit, do you know? My uncle is at home today. I'm going downstairs to see him, and have breakfast together."

Aunt Xue quickly called out to her, "Miss, I just took a few photos when you were still asleep. You are so cute. I sent them to your phone. Take a look."

Shen Jiaojiao smiled sweetly and nodded. Aunt Xue was afraid that she would misunderstand, "I have deleted the ones here. Don't worry, I won't keep any of your photos, never..."

"Aunt Xue, I'm relieved. Thank you for taking the photo. So, I fell asleep. Is this what it looked like?"

Watching Shen Jiaojiao running away, Aunt Xue burst into tears for no apparent reason. This child... it would be great if she had a mother by her side.

Shen Jiaojiao was wearing thick fluffy home clothes and ran towards Lu Shize as soon as she got out of the elevator. The kitten seemed to recognize its owner and meowed a few times before running to her feet.

"Uncle..." Before she could call him uncle, Shen Jiaojiao remembered the decision she had made last night to stop calling him uncle.

"Shi Ze...Good morning, Merry Christmas."

Not only Lu Shize, but also the aunt and housekeeper next to him felt that something seemed to be wrong. They walked to the side silently, pretending nothing had happened, but they successfully moved away from the restaurant, and then some went out and some went to other places.

Shen Jiaojiao sat next to Lu Shize, and without waiting for the man to distance himself, she picked up her phone, clicked the camera, flipped the lens, and took a photo of the two of them.

"I sent it to the grandmothers and told them that we are celebrating Christmas together today."

Shen Jiaojiao sent the photos to both grandmothers, then looked at the man happily, "Little... Shi Ze, tonight is the real Christmas Eve, so you will be here with me, right?"

She deliberately emphasized that tonight was the real Christmas. Now, it was difficult for the man to refuse. Just watching Lu Shize nod, Shen Jiaojiao looked excited, "Little... Shize, you are so nice!"

Because I subconsciously wanted to call him "uncle", but I had to change it to "Shi Ze", so I ended up calling him "Little... Shi Ze" twice in a row.

The man blushed when he heard this. He was not used to it and felt embarrassed. He scooped some porridge for her and said, "Jiaojiao, why don't you call me back..."

"No!" Shen Jiaojiao said angrily, then called the man "Shi Ze" three times in a row before picking up the spoon to drink the porridge.

After a while, Shen Jiaojiao raised her head and looked at the man. "No wonder you felt embarrassed just now. You're right, I'm young... but Shi Ze isn't young! Right?"

After saying that, Shen Jiaojiao smiled cunningly.
