Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 216 - 209: Not Enough Understanding

Bai Yiran felt her head was about to explode. Such a large bouquet of roses occupied almost her entire desk, and the intense fragrance was giving her a headache.

Walking in made the scent even stronger. Bai Yiran was not fond of such intensely scented things in the first place. Seeing such a big bouquet in front of her didn’t excite her like it might a young girl seeing roses, instead, she felt it was a burden.

"Yo! Who sent these flowers?" Yao Zhiqing had already arrived at the office and was now leaning against the door of Bai Yiran’s office, asking with a playful smile.

Bai Yiran repeatedly checked the roses, but there wasn’t even a card, so she couldn’t tell who had sent them.

"I don’t know."

"You don’t know?" Yao Zhiqing raised an eyebrow, "But surely, it wouldn’t be Ming Kai who sent them; he’s not that romantic."

Bai Yiran turned to Yao Zhiqing. She hadn’t thought it was from Ming Kai either; he was a practical man who wasn’t likely to spend money on such vain things.

"Could it be your ex-husband?" Yao Zhiqing blinked, her eyes gleaming with a twinkle.

Bai Yiran was taken aback, "It shouldn’t be. There’s nothing between us anymore."

Yao Zhiqing shook her head, "I saw him picking you up yesterday." She paused and said, "Yiran, I shouldn’t meddle in your romantic life as a friend and your boss. But Ming Kai has developed feelings for you, you have to give him an answer, and there’s also your ex-husband. I only hope for the best for you, but you have to make a choice sometime, don’t you think?"

After saying this, Yao Zhiqing left Bai Yiran’s office.

Bai Yiran’s face heated up because of Yao Zhiqing’s words. Although Yao Zhiqing didn’t say it directly, she implicitly warned her not to play both sides. Bai Yiran felt wronged; she hadn’t done anything, yet she was cast as someone playing two sides.

Leng Yichen was in a meeting when his phone rang. Seeing the caller ID as Bai Yiran, he gestured for the person speaking to quiet down and answered the phone.

"Were the roses in my office from you?" Bai Yiran’s voice was not very friendly.

Leng Yichen’s brows knitted together, his eyes emitting a frosty light, "No!" He paused, his voice icy, "But I’m also curious about who sent them to you!"

"It wasn’t you?" Bai Yiran’s tone held a hint of surprise, "Then never mind."

Before Leng Yichen could respond, the call was already cut off.

The atmosphere in the conference room sank due to this call, with everyone looking at each other but not daring to make a sound.

The meeting ended prematurely because of Leng Yichen’s foul mood, and the employees left the meeting room as if granted amnesty.

Wang Hai walked over to Leng Yichen and said, "Indeed, Miss Bai received 9,999 roses today. I checked with the flower shop, and the employees said that the flowers were ordered online, and they don’t know who the sender is; they just delivered according to the address. I also checked the flower order user’s account and found that the account has already been deactivated."

Leng Yichen, who had been happy because Qiao Jie had said yesterday, ’Actually, you’ve always been in her heart, and you’re very important,’ now faced a potential rival.

However, this man clearly didn’t understand Bai Yiran well at all, not even knowing that she doesn’t like flowers.
