?Chapter 3
February has finally arrived in Jasmine's eager anticipation. This month has what she usually neglects the most, but now it has become the most important festival.
"Valentine's Day is finally here!" It wasn't Jasmine who cheered, but Ding Ling, Xiaoqing and the others who were waiting to eat.
Jasmine makes chocolates at the request of the two of them every year, because Jasmine's craftsmanship is very good, and ordinary chocolates will become as delicious as brand-name chocolates after her careful making.
"Jasmine, the chocolate you made this year is so delicious, I'm afraid it's not enough to give me this little." Ding Ling said cheekily.
Glancing at the big bag of chocolates tightly held by Ding Ling, Jasmine said lightly, "Is it too small? Your bag is enough for ten people. If you are greedy, I will take it back."
"Enough! Enough!" Afraid that Jasmine would take it back, Ding Ling shrank back and hugged the chocolate in her arms even tighter, "Jasmine, you are so petty, this is for me and Aotian. Not much."
"You also said that the Valentine's Day chocolates for your husband are meaningful only if you make them yourself. Aotian is so pitiful. The chocolates given by my beloved wife were actually made by someone else." Jasmine was packing up the chocolate making materials, molds, etc. Talk about her.
"Hmph, I dedicated my whole body to him, plus a villain who is about to be born, what else do I want?" Ding Ling said proudly with her nose pointing upwards.
"You, once in a while, you should learn from Xiaoqing. Look how hard she puts herself into making chocolates for Ziyan."
Ding Ling disagrees.
"Of course she has to work hard! If Ziyan doesn't want her, she will be miserable!"
Xiaoqing, who was working hard to make chocolate, heard this and angrily grabbed the nuts used to make chocolate in the bowl and threw them on Ding Ling's head.
"Wow!" Ding Ling was caught off guard by the nuts and raisins sprinkled all over her face.
"Why did you throw me!" Ding Ling shouted.
Xiaoqing ignored her, walked to the chocolate that Jasmine had already made, and took one to taste.
"Wow! It's delicious! It's bonbon chocolate."
When Ding Ling heard this, she stopped shouting and rushed over to try one too.
"Jasmine, you are so treacherous, you won't give me such delicious food!"
Jasmine snatched back the plate, "I made this specially for Ling Tianxiang, it's not your share."
Aside from Ding Ling who kept shouting "unfair", "emphasizing sex over friends", and "having the opposite sex is not human", Jasmine taught Xiaoqing to continue to finish her unfinished chocolate.
"I also want to make your kind of liqueur chocolate for Ziyan," Xiaoqing said.Ziyan is her fiancé. The two met while they were studying, and they are already engaged. They will get married after they graduate from university.
"This is very difficult. I failed many times to get it right. This is the most successful one. You are a beginner, start with the simple ones, and make this kind for him next year. In fact, the most important thing in chocolate is not the taste. It's the heart that you do for him with love."
"Yeah!" Xiao Qing nodded in understanding.
The two women in love looked at each other and smiled. They both expected this gift full of love to be delivered to the hands of their beloved.
Early in the morning on Valentine's Day, Jasmine carefully packed the chocolates she made by herself in paper boxes, wrapped them in wrapping paper made of carefully drawn watercolor paintings, tied them with ribbons, and tied them into bows.
With excitement, she came to the company building of Lingtian Group.Taking a deep breath, she strode into the spacious lobby of a five-star hotel on the first floor.
"Excuse me, is President Ling back?" Jasmine asked the female staff at the front desk.
The oldest of the eight clerks in lake-blue professional suits asked her, "What can I do with Mr. Ling?"
"I'm Mr. Ling's friend, and I want to give him a gift." Jasmine said with a smile.Her smile has always been friendly, and the clerk quickly disarmed her and became friendly with her.
"What do you have for Mr. Ling, can I have a look?" The front desk clerk who is in charge of Ling Tianxiang's meeting candidates is a middle-aged woman about 40 years old. She is Ling Tianxiang's mother's younger sister, also his third aunt. .Recently, she was secretly transferred as a clerk at the current station. No one knew her identity except Ling Tianxiang.She said that she had enough of being a rich wife at home and wanted to return to society to realize her self-worth. In fact, she was entrusted by Tianxiang's mother to secretly search for a suitable daughter-in-law candidate among the company employees and women who came to Ling Tianxiang.
"It's chocolate." Jasmine showed her the beautifully packaged chocolate.
"Chocolate? You give chocolates to Tianxiang, oh no, President Ling?" I'm not used to calling my nephew the president, so I almost slipped my tongue, "Isn't candy always given by men to women?" Ling Tianxiang's third aunt was surprised asked.
"Today is Valentine's Day! It's a day when girls give gifts to boys they like." Jasmine explained.
"Oh, that's it! We, the older generation, don't know much about these young people."
"Can you bring it to Mr. Ling for me?" Jasmine felt that the female receptionist in front of her was very kind, so she asked her for help. Although she also wanted to hand it over to him, she didn't know what time Ling Tianxiang would come to the company. I'm still in a hurry to publish a social article.
Third Aunt carefully looked at the woman in front of her.Although this girl does not look very beautiful, her slightly round face, slightly curved eyebrows, full lips, and clear eyes reveal a sincere and frank gaze. Even though the combination of facial features is not perfect, the whole face looks very beautiful. She is gentle, she belongs to the type that looks good, and the more she looks, the more pleasing to the eye; her personality seems to be very cheerful and energetic, and her temperament is kind, gentle, and kind.The most important thing is that she likes Tianxiang, and she also actively pursues him.
Well, that's a good candidate.
Thinking about it, she hurriedly persuaded Jasmine who was about to turn around and leave: "Mr. Ling is on duty at eight o'clock, and he is almost here in five minutes, so you just wait a little longer and hand it over to him, wouldn't it be better?"
"En." Jasmine responded, smiling gratefully at her, "Thank you, I haven't asked your last name yet."
"My surname is Yi, and my name is Jiangnan. You can call me Sister Yi."
"Sister Yi, my surname is Bai, and my name is Jasmine. My friends call me Jasmine." Jasmine called me obediently.
Sister Yi looked at Jasmine more and more satisfied.This girl named Jasmine treats people with sincerity and courtesy, frankness and innocence, and is quite different from those rich ladies.
"How did you know Mr. Ling?" Sister Yi asked.
"I met Mr. Ling at a friend's wedding banquet, and I fell in love with him at first sight." Jasmine couldn't help smiling sweetly recalling her feelings at that time.
"Oh, that's right! But Mr. Ling has always hated women, so he might not give you a good look." Sister Yi said this deliberately, she hoped that the girl would be mentally prepared and not be easily angered by Ling Tianxiang She ran away, after all, she liked Jasmine quite a bit and wanted her to be her niece and daughter-in-law.
"I don't think he hates women, but just hates those women who are hypocritical, snobbish, who value his appearance and wealth, and want to take advantage of him." Jasmine said based on her feelings for Ling Tianxiang.
"He is very fierce and cool to girls, and he doesn't give any face." Sister Yi told Jasmine Ling Tianxiang's consistent attitude towards women, "Many girls are deceived by Tianxiang's noble and handsome appearance, thinking that he is a gentleman. A polite gentleman will cry at him until he learns his poisonous tongue."
"That's right, he is indeed ruthless towards girls, and his words are also very vicious." Jasmine said with deep empathy.
Seeing that she was not surprised at all, Sister Yi asked in surprise: "Do you believe it? Many girls don't believe that he is a vicious tongue."
"I believe it's because I've been scolded by him before! He scolded me very hard, that kind of ruthless words drove my friend crazy!" Jasmine couldn't help laughing, recalling Ding It was funny how Ling was so angry.
Sister Yi looked at Jasmine in disbelief, and thought to herself: This girl is really interesting, and this is the first time she has met a woman who can take Tianxiang's vicious words seriously.
The two were chatting, and Ling Tianxiang walked into the company lobby with his head held high.
"Mr. Ling is here." Sister Yi pointed to the direction of the door to signal Jasmine.
"Ah! Thank you!" Jasmine thanked, turned around hastily, and flew forward like a bird flying into a forest.
She rushed straight in front of Ling Tianxiang, almost bumped into him due to too much momentum, but fortunately stopped in time one centimeter away from him, and the tip of her nose almost touched his generous chest.
Ling Tianxiang frowned slightly with his graceful eyebrows, looking at the woman who suddenly came in front of him.
"What are you doing here?"
Hasn't this woman been scolded enough by him last time? How dare she appear in front of him.
"Happy Valentine's Day!" Jasmine handed her present, looking up at him with a wide smile.Jasmine's height was only as high as Ling Tianxiang's shoulders, and they were standing very close together, so she had to look up.
Ling Tianxiang glanced at her indifferently, and walked around her without saying a word.
"It's the Valentine's Day chocolate I made myself, please accept it?" Jasmine didn't give up, and ran to him to block his way, holding the gift high in front of him.
"I don't want it!" Ling Tianxiang refused coldly.
Sister Yi and other clerical ladies who were watching the development of the situation were worried for Jasmine from the bottom of their hearts, fearing that Jasmine would become a woman whose heart was broken for Ling Tianxiang again.
All the female employees working in Lingtian Group know that Ling Tianxiang has always been rude to women who pursue him, and he is also known to hate women, so no female employee dares to imagine the story of "a sparrow turning into a phoenix" with him, and no one wants to be A member of the group of women scolded by Ling Tianxiang, not to mention they still rely on this job for food.
"What does it matter if you accept it, are you afraid that I will give you the bomb?" Jasmine said loudly, unaffected by Ling Tianxiang's sarcastic remarks.
"Don't bother me anymore!" After finishing speaking, Ling Tianxiang waved his hand and knocked the box of exquisite gifts out of Jasmine's hands.In an instant, the air seemed to be solidified and heavy, and time stopped suddenly. The gift seemed to be leaping at a speed that caught people's attention, like a slow mirror. The sound of "click" hitting the ground brought everything back to normal. On, the gift rotates in situ along the impact force.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jasmine.
"Ah, it's too bad, the chocolate inside will break!" Jasmine hurried to pick it up, while Ling Tianxiang walked into the elevator indifferently under the eyes of people who reprimanded but dared not speak out.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Sister Yi rushed forward from behind the counter to comfort her.
"Jasmine, don't be sad. He treats all women like this. Last time, he threw the gift boxes of clothing that they gave him into the trash can..." Before he could finish speaking, seeing Jasmine's raised face still With a faint smile, he couldn't help being stunned.
"It doesn't matter to me. What he said last time was ugly, but this time it was just a trifle." Jasmine blinked mischievously, and handed the box containing chocolates to her, "If you don't mind, this box of chocolates will be given to you. After finishing speaking, Jasmine straightened up, smiled and waved to her, and left the Lingtian Group building.
She is really a strong girl, it would be a pity not to be the daughter-in-law of the Ling family.Seeing Jasmine's back going away, Sister Yi thought to herself.
Walking out of the gate, Jasmine looked up at the clear blue sky and said to herself: "It's a pity that he didn't accept it after all! However, I've already expressed my heart, so there's nothing to be discouraged about. Come on!" She smiled brightly at the sky. , Jasmine regained her previous look, and walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.
"Clap!"
There was a knock on the office door, and Ling Tianxiang said without raising his head, "Come in."
"Tianxiang." The person called.
Hearing this, he raised his head from the document, "It's Aunt San, what's the matter?"
Although Sister Yi had seen countless times of him rejecting girls, none of them made her that angry.
"This is the chocolate Jasmine gave you."
Seeing the exquisitely packaged gift box on the table, Ling Tianxiang said impatiently: "She is so annoying, she still begged you to bring her things." Then, he picked up the chocolate and wanted to throw it into the trash can.
"Wait, you don't have the right to dispose of this box of gifts. You didn't want it just now, she has already given it to me." Sister Yi snatched the chocolate.
Ling Tianxiang looked at the third aunt strangely, he, the third aunt, has always been a nosy person, why did he act uncharacteristically today?
"Then what did you bring up for me, Third Aunt?"
"I want to treat you to eat. Listen clearly, it is the chocolate that I treat you to. Don't give me too many excuses."
Ling Tianxiang knew the personality of the third aunt, and once he made up his mind, no one could hold her back. He was worthy of being his mother's sister, and he treated this third aunt just like he treated his mother-no matter what.
He opened the gift box obediently, and saw small and exquisite scallop-shaped chocolates neatly arranged in the box.Reluctantly, he picked one up and put it in his mouth.
what!tasty!Ling Tianxiang couldn't help being amazed.It was so delicious that he, who has never liked candy, had to praise it.This is liqueur chocolate. Not too sweet chocolate is wrapped with chocolate syrup mixed with wine aroma. The taste of wine and the rich aroma of chocolate match seamlessly. .He has never eaten such delicious chocolate. In addition to the wonderful texture and taste, there is another indescribably wonderful feeling, which makes people feel like being in the romance of Paris, France.
The chocolate was so delicious, Ling Tianxiang couldn't help but carefully inspect the packaged gift box to see which brand it came from, so that he could buy it and eat it later.After a closer look, he found that the entire package, from the box to the outer wrapping paper, was made by hand. The wrapping paper used to wrap the chocolate box was a landscape watercolor painting of a pond with a light red sunset glow.The sunset in the painting is gentle and quiet. Although the painting skills are not high, it makes the viewer feel the tranquility and peace of the painter.
"Wow! It's so delicious! It's even better than the master chocolate I ate in Switzerland!" Sister Yi saw that he didn't talk after eating it, and thought it was not delicious, so she also ate one, but she was surprised that it was so delicious extremely.
"It's so delicious! It's not too sweet, and it's fragrant and smooth." She ate another one as she spoke.
Marvel again.
"Ah! The one I ate just now tasted like red wine, but this one tasted like whiskey." Before she could swallow the one in her mouth, she picked up another one.
Hearing what she said, Ling Tianxiang understood that in this box of chocolates, each chocolate contained a different heart, and the one he ate just now was made of rum.No chocolate tastes the same, and it can be said to be a masterpiece of confectionery, which is undoubtedly a fine art.
If the girl named Jasmine really made it herself, there are only two explanations. First, she is a chocolate confectioner; second, she spent a lot of effort.I heard Lin Aotian mentioned before that she seems to be a fairy tale writer, why did she go out of her way to get close to him?For fame, for profit?Ling Tianxiang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.When he came back to his senses and looked at the chocolate on the table again, he saw that the box was empty.
"Ah, this is really the best chocolate I've ever eaten in my life, and I ate it before I knew it." Sister Yi looked at Ling Tianxiang's silence, as if she didn't care, and seemed unhappy that she swallowed it all by herself.
"Third aunt, eat so much chocolate, be careful that the weight loss course you completed last week was wasted again."
Tianxiang is concerned about her weight?
No wonder!
He was angry that he ate all the chocolate and left him none.
Hey?Strange, this is her chocolate!She brought it up to treat him to eat, why is he so angry!
After eating the chocolate, Sister Yi took away the remaining boxes and wrapping paper. To be honest, she liked the watercolor painting very much.
After the third aunt took everything away, there was only the aroma of cocoa in the air.Smelling the gradually wafting sweet scent, Jasmine's figure slowly emerged in his mind.
As soon as she opened the door, Ding Ling and Xiaoqing rushed forward, surrounded her and chattered about what happened, what Ling Tianxiang said, whether she was very moved, etc.
"He didn't want it." Jasmine walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of water.
"What? It's too much to ruin a girl's pure feelings! It's an unforgivable crime." Xiaoqing said with righteous indignation.
"He doesn't want it? That's the best chocolate! How many people want to eat it but can't eat it! That bastard!" Ding Ling said angrily, but turned her face and asked in a hurry: "What do you do with that box of chocolates?" Ding Ling Bell couldn't forget that delicious candy.
"I just gave it away." Jasmine turned around and waved away the two "big flies" that were following her around.
"What! You gave away such a delicious chocolate? Why didn't you bring it back to me? He doesn't care about it, I want it!" Ding Ling shouted, beating her heart and stamping her feet to regret such a delicious chocolate white Cheaper for the guy who received it.
"It's normal for her to give it to someone else on the spot. Looking at that box of chocolates will only make Jasmine sad, so you should be considerate of others, you only know how to eat it!" Xiaoqing scolded angrily.This Ding Ling is married, but she is still so slow in emotional matters, and doesn't know how to be considerate of other people's feelings at all.
"It's Xiaoqing who understands my heart." Jasmine looked at Xiaoqing with a slight smile, and could see a thin layer of mist in her eyes.
"Ling Tianxiang has already rejected you, do you still want to persevere?" Xiaoqing looked at Jasmine's slender fingers that were scarred by the pot because of countless times of practicing making chocolate.
Sighing softly like a breeze, Jasmine's dreamy eyes shone with sparkling water.
"I don't like him because he likes me. Even though he rejected me coldly and refused to accept my feelings, I couldn't give up." Jasmine said with a faint smile, "I cherish this A feeling of 'like him'. I haven't liked someone so much since my first love in kindergarten!"
Xiao Qing and Ding Ling both sat down on the sofa beside Jasmine.
"First love... Jasmine, you had your first love when you were in kindergarten? This is too precocious! You were only five or six years old at the most."
"That's right, how do you know how to fall in love at such a young age? At most, it's just a good partner of childhood sweethearts."
The two fussed and yelled together.
"But I can't forget him... It's been almost 20 years, and I have no interest in other boys. Isn't this considered love? I like this person so much, miss this person, this unswerving relationship Isn't it a kind of love?" Jasmine looked at the two with serious eyes.
"This..." Ding Ling faltered.
"Hmm..." Xiaoqing nodded after thinking silently, "I heard you say that love is indeed like this. But shouldn't love also have passion and obsession?"
Jasmine looked at the crystal bottle full of glass beads on the table in a daze, looked at the colorful beads inside, and said softly: "Love always exists in various forms, no matter what form it appears in, it is love. No one can I am completely sure whether other people's feelings are love, but I am the only one who can define my own feelings...No matter what will happen in the future, I know at this moment that I like him...that's enough."
The cloudy days that lasted for more than a week made people feel depressed for no reason.A gloomy sky gives a very depressing and uninspiring feeling.
After getting out of the car, Ling Tianxiang walked up the wide stairs in front of Lingtian Building with the file box as usual.
That woman is here again!
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Jasmine's petite figure standing in front of the automatic door at the entrance of the building, waiting for him.Since Valentine's Day, she has been waiting for him at the door of the company every Monday. Sometimes she greets him and says hello, but he never pays attention to her; now she doesn't talk much, and looks at him from time to time , with a calm smile on his face.
"Tianxiang, good morning!" Jasmine hurriedly ran here when she saw him.
"Can I call you Tianxiang?" Jasmine ran up to him and stopped, looked up at him and asked.
He didn't bother to answer, he just stopped in order not to run into her.
"You affirm if you don't deny it." Jasmine said with a smile.
Her self-righteous words aroused his disgust. He has never met such a cheeky girl who automatically and consciously helps others decide things.
He casually glanced at the girl in front of him.
Jasmine was wearing a sky-blue silk dress, holding a bouquet of dazzling golden sunflowers in her arms—it was a small ornamental sunflower.The flowers blooming brilliantly and enthusiastically are very beautiful. Under this gloomy sky, they seem to be a group of light full of vitality and vitality.Under the reflection of this ray of light, Jasmine's smile was so bright and dazzling in the azure blue dress.
Ling Tianxiang squinted his eyes as if pierced by her light.
"For you! I hope they can replace the sun and give you a sunny mood!" After finishing speaking, Jasmine stuffed the flowers into his arms. The dust is gone.
It was too late to refuse the bouquet, and the sender ran away again, so he had no choice but to walk into the company with the flowers.
Although he really didn't want to bring flowers into the company, after all, it would easily arouse people's suspicion that he wanted to send flowers to someone, but he couldn't just throw them at the door.In desperation, he put the flowers on the front desk in the lobby and hurried upstairs.
Undoubtedly, President Ling's act of putting the bouquet on the front desk was witnessed by many people. The girls working at the front desk were all blushing and discussing who the flowers were for.Although every female employee said that it was for colleagues who were prettier than themselves, they all secretly prayed that it was for themselves.
On weekdays, it is said that President Ling is very cool, very indifferent, and fierce to girls. No one wants to be his girlfriend, but that is just the mentality of not being able to eat grapes and saying grapes are sour. on himself.
"Stop guessing there, this flower was not given to any of you by the president." Sister Yi couldn't bear the daydreaming of these chattering women.
"Could it be for you?" Someone was unconvinced.
"Of course it wasn't for me. This flower was given to the president by someone else, and he just put it here casually."
"How do you know?" Unwilling to be disillusioned, all the women retorted "with concerted efforts".
"Because I saw who gave it to President Ling."
"Who is it?" At some point, sister Yi was surrounded by a large group of people.
"It's the girl who gave the president chocolate last time."
"Ah, it's her!" Everyone commented.
"That girl really has no shame. She is so stalking and chasing after men. It's really embarrassing for us women." Someone said with disdain.
"It's the president's fault. She humiliated that girl in front of so many people that time. She is a girl after all. It's too much to say such hurtful words. Sister Yi also said that he was going to throw the chocolate in the trash can." Some people Sympathize with Jasmine.
"That's not true. What is the identity of the president, regardless of appearance and family background, everything is hundreds of times higher than her. If you want to like her, you have to be blind." How ignorant Jasmine is.
"So," Sister Yi, after listening to everyone's opinions, signaled everyone to stop and let her express their opinions, "The president put this bouquet of flowers on the table at the front desk to tell me to throw it away, not to give it to the front desk Anyone who is sitting. Please wake up, we still have to work today, stop dreaming!"
Everyone muttered and went back to their respective jobs, while Sister Yi held the bouquet and said that she would throw it away.
Instead of throwing away the flowers, she took the elevator up to the top floor with her arms full of sunflowers.
The girl Jasmine is really ingenious. The long cloudy day really makes people feel depressed and depressed, and they can't cheer up for anything, but this bouquet of sunflowers in full bloom brings clear sunshine to people, and the flowers are beautiful. The lovely flower discs, like the smiles of the sun, make people involuntarily cheerful.
"Tianxiang, what do you think of these flowers here? It feels good, the whole room will light up immediately." Sister Yi put the sunflowers in the glass vase on the wine cabinet facing his desk, making him look up will be able to see.
Looking at the golden flowers in Third Aunt's hands, Ling Tianxiang said displeasedly: "Third Aunt, please throw away these flowers."
"No, it's too wasteful! You don't want it, I'll take it back to my eldest sister, anyway, your mother loves flowers the most."
"Forget it, just put it here!" Let her take it back, and she will definitely tell the origin of the flower and exaggerate it.
"Then I'm going out! Don't throw it away when I turn around! If you don't want it, just return it to me. I'll give it to someone else." After achieving her goal, Sister Yi easily closed the door.
After the third aunt left, Ling Tianxiang went back to work.
Without writing a few words, he unconsciously looked up at the dazzling bunch of sunflowers, and his gloomy mood inexplicably eased a lot.Just as he was watching, the flower turned into Jasmine's cheerful smile... Shocked, he hurriedly restrained himself and continued working. However, there was an irresistible force that attracted him to look at the brilliant and bright flower again.
He suddenly discovered that he didn't know when he started, but he was actually looking forward to the arrival of Monday in his heart.
"Is this how you work? Reflect on it for me, and give me a satisfactory report tomorrow." Ling Tianxiang's tight handsome face can fascinate all living beings no matter how ugly it is, but it's a pity that the group who are being scolded All the executives were terrified, and no one dared to look up at him.
"We went out to work." The executives left the president's office tremblingly.
Sister Yi sent the documents up to Ling Tianxiang to sign for receipt, just in time to hear the speculations of these disgraced executives.
"What's the matter with the president? This is the first time I've been scolded by him since I've been working here for so long." Director Zhang of the business development department said puzzled.
"We're not yet. This is the first time I've seen the president get angry. He's usually so calm that he doesn't look like a young man in his twenties. No matter what he encounters, he remains calm and composed. What could make him so abnormal."
"I don't know, but I heard from Liu Yang, the assistant secretary of the president's secretarial department, that something has been wrong with the president since three weeks ago, especially on Monday, it was like the eve of a hurricane. The atmosphere in the whole secretariat was dull To the extreme, they say that on Mondays, they don’t even dare to take a breath.”
"It's strange."
Everyone shook their heads and left.They didn't feel resentful because of Ling Tianxiang's scolding, but were curious why he suddenly scolded them.Usually Ling Tianxiang is very tolerant towards the staff, and never loses his temper with his subordinates because of trivial matters.
Hearing these words, sister Yi, who was as careful as dust, understood why her nephew was so abnormal after a little thought.
"Tianxiang, this is your air express." Sister Yi pushed the door open and entered.
Hearing Sister Yi's voice, Ling Tianxiang, who had been at the desk to sign, hurriedly raised his head, and a trace of anticipation flashed through his deep and beautiful eyes.
"Third Aunt..." The hesitant expression brought a meaningful smile to Sister Yi's face.
"What's the matter?" Knowing what he wanted to ask, Sister Yi deliberately pretended to be stupid.
Looking at the playful eyes of the third aunt, he really couldn't express the feeling in his heart that even he couldn't figure it out.
Shaking his head, Ling Tianxiang lowered his head and continued his work.What is going on with the restlessness and turmoil in your heart?Why did he always feel like something was missing this month and made him restless.Is it because he didn't see her?He was taken aback by the thought.
She hasn't shown up for four Mondays, is there an accident?Or was she already withdrawn by his indifference like the other girls?Thinking of this, Ling Tianxiang felt a pain in his heart.What to say "I won't force you to like me too. Because I am satisfied to find you!" In the end, she is as greedy as other women, constantly asking men to give, whether it is love or money, All equally greedy.
But... what happened to him?Why do I want to know so much why she didn't come, that annoying girl, I prayed for a miracle to make her disappear before my eyes last month, but when she disappeared in my sight, I was worried about her disappearance.
In fact, with the intelligence network of "Fashion in the World", anyone's whereabouts can be known within 5 minutes, not to mention the whereabouts of an ordinary person like her. To know where she is and what she is doing is effortless at all.But as the leader "Feng", he suppressed not looking for her news, he didn't want to admit that he cared about that girl.
"If it's okay, I'm going down. Someone gave me a special product from my hometown. It's a delicious banana leaf cake."
Seeing his contradiction, Sister Yi walked towards the door as she said intentionally or unintentionally.
Is it her?
Ling Tianxiang stood up abruptly when he heard the words.
"Well?"
Sister Yi turned around and looked at him, her eyes widened on purpose, pretending to be inexplicable.
"...It's nothing, you go down." Hurriedly restraining his slightly out-of-control behavior, Ling Tianxiang sat down slowly to stabilize the inexplicable emotions in his heart.
Glancing at him again, Sister Yi left the CEO's office confidently.
Wanting to go down to the lobby to have a look, this idea repeated in his mind almost a hundred times in 5 minutes.But he couldn't give himself a reason to carry out this idea, even though it didn't need any reason at all.
Finally, he finally gave up looking for a reason to act and left the office quickly.
When the elevator opened, he happened to see a familiar small figure leaving the reception desk in the lobby and walking out of the gate of Lingtian Building.Just when he wanted to catch up with the idea in his heart, that petite figure was already submerged in the dazzling sunlight at the entrance.After losing the temptation of the familiar figure, reason and self-control suddenly returned to him.
Annoyed by his childish thoughts and actions just now, Ling Tianxiang turned around and was about to walk into the elevator door that was about to close.
"President Ling! Come here, there is something good to eat."
He could tell from the sound that it was Aunt San calling him.
Although he really didn't want to go there, she was his elder after all, and she loved him the most when he was a child, so he could only reluctantly obey her for a while.
"President, this is for you." The third aunt handed him a simple food box, which contained a piece of pastry on a fresh banana leaf.
The emerald green banana leaves paired with bright yellow and translucent pastries are really beautiful.Cut the whole piece of cake into dices, put one into your mouth with a fork, the faint fragrance of banana leaves and the clear sweetness slowly spread from the tip of the tongue, which is very suitable for chewing with the soft and non-sticky texture of the plate cake.
This is a farm product. Jasmine went back to the countryside and heard that her grandma was ill, so she went back to have a look.This is a specialty of her hometown, a pastry made with unique local products in the country.I heard from her that the materials for making this kind of dim sum are rare, and they also pay attention to the harvesting of the seasons, so the amount that can be made each time is not much, but this time they gave me so much, obviously not only for the people at the front desk, And it's for another person!What Aunt San said when he took the box echoed in his ears again.
That girl is really, why is she so stubborn, she just doesn't give up on him.He had already said all his cruel words, and the girls who had pursued him in the past had already been hurt and shed tears by his vitriolic and sarcastic words, but her face was not only without a trace of gloom, but also full of dazzling sunshine.
Ling Tianxiang didn't notice at all that he, who had always put women in his eyes, was completely obsessed with Jasmine's sweet smile at this moment.
After coming back to hand in the draft, he hurriedly sent the native products of his hometown to Sister Yi, and asked her to hand it over to Ling Tianxiang. I don't know if she sent it.Jasmine turned on the TV while wiping her freshly washed hair, and fell down on the sofa by the way.
This month, she was so busy taking care of her sick grandma and writing manuscripts. Even so, she squeezed out the pitiful time to make that snack, hoping that Tianxiang could eat it.Although she often said to herself that it didn't matter whether he accepted her gift or not, it was enough to let him know what she wanted; but she still hoped that he could accept the local product from her hometown, because it was really delicious.
It feels so good to have someone I like, and I always want to share the best things with him. This kind of mood is really blissful.
While watching an interesting cartoon on TV, Jasmine picked up the phone and dialed the number of Lin Aotian's home.
"Hello, this is Lin's house. May I ask who are you looking for?" The Lin family's maid's polite voice came from the microphone.
"I'm Jasmine, is Bell there?"
"Oh, it's Miss Bai, Madam is in the sun room, please wait a moment."
The maid took the wireless phone to the sunroom and handed it to Ding Ling.
"Hey, Jasmine, you're finally back. How's your grandma's illness?" Ding Ling's concerned voice came from the microphone.
"It's much better. The doctor said it's just a little bit of heatstroke. If you rest more, you'll be fine. Grandma just can't sit still and refuses to rest obediently. I have to guard her and let her rest before leaving. I know, I After walking on the front foot, she ran out of bed to do farm work on the back foot, thinking about her pigs, ducks, geese and chickens and so on."
Ding Ling felt relieved when she heard that Jasmine's grandma was fine.
"Your grandma is ill, didn't you make cakes this time?" Ding Ling asked tentatively.
How could Jasmine fail to understand what she meant.
"Grandma didn't make it, but I made a little of it myself."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Ding Ling shouting excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Long live! There's something good to eat again!"
Amidst Ding Ling's excited shouts, she could also hear worried reprimands from the side.
"What? Did Aotian not go to work today?" Jasmine asked.
"No! Hearing that I was not feeling well in the morning, he skipped work and sneaked back. I'll ask him to drive me to your place. Bye!"
Ding Ling, who is about to become a mother, is still so lively. She has no self-consciousness about being a mother at all.
After hanging up the phone, Jasmine continued to watch her TV, laughing out loud at the interesting plot.
Tomorrow is Monday, she can see Tianxiang again.The reason why she chose to wait for him at the door of his company on Monday was arranged by Sister Yi.Because Ling Tianxiang will definitely return to the company's headquarters building every Monday, and at other times he has to fly around the world, running around for meetings, business talks, and participating in various public activities, so only Mondays can guarantee to see he.Although he sometimes comes to Lingtian Mansion at other times, she doesn't want to hinder his work, nor does she want to cause him too much trouble, as long as she sees him every Monday.
While watching TV, the doorbell rang hurriedly.
Opening the door, it goes without saying that the visitor is Greedy Cat Bell.
"Plate cake!" Before entering the door, the first sentence was to eat.
"At any rate, you should be more polite, or the baby will be spoiled by you after the baby is born." Jasmine smiled and pulled her into the room.
"I'm also worried that after the child is born, the naughty mother Ling will teach the child badly, and then it will really be bad in size." Lin Aotian, who followed in, continued.
"No, I just need to hand him over to you, the fairy tale writer who knows children best. Under your teaching, he will definitely become a genius baby." Ding Ling said wishfully.
She knew that Jasmine liked children very much, she had a lot of research on children's education, and she also had a lot of practical experience, because she was a kindergarten teacher herself.
"I can only teach you, but I can't replace you, so don't expect me to help you raise your child. Only when a child is brought up by their parents can they grow up happily and healthily." Jasmine said seriously.
"Yes! Yes!" Jasmine is always very serious when it comes to the topic of children's education. In her mind, children's education is more important than heaven. That's why she changed from a teacher to a fairy tale author. It can educate more children through beautiful stories and bring beneficial knowledge and happiness to children.
When taking the food box that Jasmine gave her, Ding Ling caught a glimpse of the pastry inside which had been divided.
"Who did you give it to? Xiaoqing?" Ding Ling asked curiously. In the past, Xiaoqing's share was always with her.
"I gave some Ling Tianxiang." Jasmine said.
"What? You give it to him? He definitely won't want it, and now it's probably thrown into the trash can." Ding Ling felt sorry for the fate of the delicious pastry being ruined. "Maybe, he doesn't seem very happy to see me." Jasmine said nonchalantly, as if talking about the weather.
Seeing Jasmine pretending not to care, Ding Ling said distressedly: "People like you who love unconditionally without asking for anything in return are truly extinct." Jasmine shook her head disapprovingly, "I It's not about loving him unconditionally."
"Then what's your condition? Why didn't I see it?" Ding Ling asked in puzzlement.
"He made me feel in love and have a loving heart, that's how I love him."
"Wow, your conditions are really lenient!" Ding Ling said in an uproar.
"It's not loose," Jasmine said disapprovingly, "because not everyone can make me feel this way."
Lin Aotian, who was listening to their discussion, couldn't help but said: "Jasmine, you should give up Tianxiang, he will never fall in love with anyone. He is very disgusted with emotional matters. His personality has even troubled me and his family." You can't change it with a lot of hard work. If you continue like this, you will only be hurt more by him in the end." Lin Aotian persuaded.
He knew what Ling Tianxiang's other identity was, and how powerful that "wind" that even the gangsters were afraid of was. If Jasmine really offended him, he really didn't know how he would die then.He didn't want his wife's best friend to have an accident. If this was the case, his wife would definitely cry to death first.
"That's right! Jasmine, Aotian knows a lot of handsome guys, so it's not a problem to introduce you to as many as you want, and the character and quality are guaranteed to be top-notch."
Jasmine glanced at the couple indifferently, and said with a sigh: "Any relationship has the possibility of being hurt. Can you guarantee that I won't get hurt if I fall in love with someone else?"
Ding Ling and Lin Aotian were speechless, they really did not dare to make such a guarantee.No one can say for sure about love, let alone guarantee it. No one can objectively draw a definite conclusion about love.Thinking that one's love can last forever is mostly a personal subjective formulation, which is nothing more than wishful thinking.
"If you are afraid of being hurt, it only proves that you don't really like the other person. If you really like the other person, even if you are hurt, it is a kind of happiness. Since you can't avoid being hurt in love, then I would rather be the one who hurt me." Jasmine looked at them calmly, and said firmly.
Ding Ling and her husband talked about Jasmine's love on the way home.
"What Jasmine said is also reasonable. If I will always be hurt, I would rather be hurt by someone I like. Being hurt by someone I don't like is simply self-abuse." Ding Ling said looking at Lin Aotian who was driving.
"That's true. Like me, those who are often hurt by you are also happy."
"I never hurt you!" Ding Ling protested.
"You often make me drink vinegar non-stop, so sour that my stomach will perforate." Lin Aotian said pointedly.
"I didn't force you to drink vinegar."
"Wife, as long as you don't keep your eyes on handsome men and beautiful women, I will be less jealous of your husband." Lin Aotian teased.
"Hmph." Ding Ling, who was said to be weak by Lin Aotian, ignored him angrily.
Lin Aotian, who was worried that her anger would affect her health, hurriedly coaxed her, telling her not to be angry.
Love is like this, what kind of pot matches what kind of cover, you are willing to fight, he is willing to suffer.

?Chapter 3
February has finally arrived in Jasmine's eager anticipation. This month has what she usually neglects the most, but now it has become the most important festival.
"Valentine's Day is finally here!" It wasn't Jasmine who cheered, but Ding Ling, Xiaoqing and the others who were waiting to eat.
Jasmine makes chocolates at the request of the two of them every year, because Jasmine's craftsmanship is very good, and ordinary chocolates will become as delicious as brand-name chocolates after her careful making.
"Jasmine, the chocolate you made this year is so delicious, I'm afraid it's not enough to give me this little." Ding Ling said cheekily.
Glancing at the big bag of chocolates tightly held by Ding Ling, Jasmine said lightly, "Is it too small? Your bag is enough for ten people. If you are greedy, I will take it back."
"Enough! Enough!" Afraid that Jasmine would take it back, Ding Ling shrank back and hugged the chocolate in her arms even tighter, "Jasmine, you are so petty, this is for me and Aotian. Not much."
"You also said that the Valentine's Day chocolates for your husband are meaningful only if you make them yourself. Aotian is so pitiful. The chocolates given by my beloved wife were actually made by someone else." Jasmine was packing up the chocolate making materials, molds, etc. Talk about her.
"Hmph, I dedicated my whole body to him, plus a villain who is about to be born, what else do I want?" Ding Ling said proudly with her nose pointing upwards.
"You, once in a while, you should learn from Xiaoqing. Look how hard she puts herself into making chocolates for Ziyan."
Ding Ling disagrees.
"Of course she has to work hard! If Ziyan doesn't want her, she will be miserable!"
Xiaoqing, who was working hard to make chocolate, heard this and angrily grabbed the nuts used to make chocolate in the bowl and threw them on Ding Ling's head.
"Wow!" Ding Ling was caught off guard by the nuts and raisins sprinkled all over her face.
"Why did you throw me!" Ding Ling shouted.
Xiaoqing ignored her, walked to the chocolate that Jasmine had already made, and took one to taste.
"Wow! It's delicious! It's bonbon chocolate."
When Ding Ling heard this, she stopped shouting and rushed over to try one too.
"Jasmine, you are so treacherous, you won't give me such delicious food!"
Jasmine snatched back the plate, "I made this specially for Ling Tianxiang, it's not your share."
Aside from Ding Ling who kept shouting "unfair", "emphasizing sex over friends", and "having the opposite sex is not human", Jasmine taught Xiaoqing to continue to finish her unfinished chocolate.
"I also want to make your kind of liqueur chocolate for Ziyan," Xiaoqing said.Ziyan is her fiancé. The two met while they were studying, and they are already engaged. They will get married after they graduate from university.
"This is very difficult. I failed many times to get it right. This is the most successful one. You are a beginner, start with the simple ones, and make this kind for him next year. In fact, the most important thing in chocolate is not the taste. It's the heart that you do for him with love."
"Yeah!" Xiao Qing nodded in understanding.
The two women in love looked at each other and smiled. They both expected this gift full of love to be delivered to the hands of their beloved.
Early in the morning on Valentine's Day, Jasmine carefully packed the chocolates she made by herself in paper boxes, wrapped them in wrapping paper made of carefully drawn watercolor paintings, tied them with ribbons, and tied them into bows.
With excitement, she came to the company building of Lingtian Group.Taking a deep breath, she strode into the spacious lobby of a five-star hotel on the first floor.
"Excuse me, is President Ling back?" Jasmine asked the female staff at the front desk.
The oldest of the eight clerks in lake-blue professional suits asked her, "What can I do with Mr. Ling?"
"I'm Mr. Ling's friend, and I want to give him a gift." Jasmine said with a smile.Her smile has always been friendly, and the clerk quickly disarmed her and became friendly with her.
"What do you have for Mr. Ling, can I have a look?" The front desk clerk who is in charge of Ling Tianxiang's meeting candidates is a middle-aged woman about 40 years old. She is Ling Tianxiang's mother's younger sister, also his third aunt. .Recently, she was secretly transferred as a clerk at the current station. No one knew her identity except Ling Tianxiang.She said that she had enough of being a rich wife at home and wanted to return to society to realize her self-worth. In fact, she was entrusted by Tianxiang's mother to secretly search for a suitable daughter-in-law candidate among the company employees and women who came to Ling Tianxiang.
"It's chocolate." Jasmine showed her the beautifully packaged chocolate.
"Chocolate? You give chocolates to Tianxiang, oh no, President Ling?" I'm not used to calling my nephew the president, so I almost slipped my tongue, "Isn't candy always given by men to women?" Ling Tianxiang's third aunt was surprised asked.
"Today is Valentine's Day! It's a day when girls give gifts to boys they like." Jasmine explained.
"Oh, that's it! We, the older generation, don't know much about these young people."
"Can you bring it to Mr. Ling for me?" Jasmine felt that the female receptionist in front of her was very kind, so she asked her for help. Although she also wanted to hand it over to him, she didn't know what time Ling Tianxiang would come to the company. I'm still in a hurry to publish a social article.
Third Aunt carefully looked at the woman in front of her.Although this girl does not look very beautiful, her slightly round face, slightly curved eyebrows, full lips, and clear eyes reveal a sincere and frank gaze. Even though the combination of facial features is not perfect, the whole face looks very beautiful. She is gentle, she belongs to the type that looks good, and the more she looks, the more pleasing to the eye; her personality seems to be very cheerful and energetic, and her temperament is kind, gentle, and kind.The most important thing is that she likes Tianxiang, and she also actively pursues him.
Well, that's a good candidate.
Thinking about it, she hurriedly persuaded Jasmine who was about to turn around and leave: "Mr. Ling is on duty at eight o'clock, and he is almost here in five minutes, so you just wait a little longer and hand it over to him, wouldn't it be better?"
"En." Jasmine responded, smiling gratefully at her, "Thank you, I haven't asked your last name yet."
"My surname is Yi, and my name is Jiangnan. You can call me Sister Yi."
"Sister Yi, my surname is Bai, and my name is Jasmine. My friends call me Jasmine." Jasmine called me obediently.
Sister Yi looked at Jasmine more and more satisfied.This girl named Jasmine treats people with sincerity and courtesy, frankness and innocence, and is quite different from those rich ladies.
"How did you know Mr. Ling?" Sister Yi asked.
"I met Mr. Ling at a friend's wedding banquet, and I fell in love with him at first sight." Jasmine couldn't help smiling sweetly recalling her feelings at that time.
"Oh, that's right! But Mr. Ling has always hated women, so he might not give you a good look." Sister Yi said this deliberately, she hoped that the girl would be mentally prepared and not be easily angered by Ling Tianxiang She ran away, after all, she liked Jasmine quite a bit and wanted her to be her niece and daughter-in-law.
"I don't think he hates women, but just hates those women who are hypocritical, snobbish, who value his appearance and wealth, and want to take advantage of him." Jasmine said based on her feelings for Ling Tianxiang.
"He is very fierce and cool to girls, and he doesn't give any face." Sister Yi told Jasmine Ling Tianxiang's consistent attitude towards women, "Many girls are deceived by Tianxiang's noble and handsome appearance, thinking that he is a gentleman. A polite gentleman will cry at him until he learns his poisonous tongue."
"That's right, he is indeed ruthless towards girls, and his words are also very vicious." Jasmine said with deep empathy.
Seeing that she was not surprised at all, Sister Yi asked in surprise: "Do you believe it? Many girls don't believe that he is a vicious tongue."
"I believe it's because I've been scolded by him before! He scolded me very hard, that kind of ruthless words drove my friend crazy!" Jasmine couldn't help laughing, recalling Ding It was funny how Ling was so angry.
Sister Yi looked at Jasmine in disbelief, and thought to herself: This girl is really interesting, and this is the first time she has met a woman who can take Tianxiang's vicious words seriously.
The two were chatting, and Ling Tianxiang walked into the company lobby with his head held high.
"Mr. Ling is here." Sister Yi pointed to the direction of the door to signal Jasmine.
"Ah! Thank you!" Jasmine thanked, turned around hastily, and flew forward like a bird flying into a forest.
She rushed straight in front of Ling Tianxiang, almost bumped into him due to too much momentum, but fortunately stopped in time one centimeter away from him, and the tip of her nose almost touched his generous chest.
Ling Tianxiang frowned slightly with his graceful eyebrows, looking at the woman who suddenly came in front of him.
"What are you doing here?"
Hasn't this woman been scolded enough by him last time? How dare she appear in front of him.
"Happy Valentine's Day!" Jasmine handed her present, looking up at him with a wide smile.Jasmine's height was only as high as Ling Tianxiang's shoulders, and they were standing very close together, so she had to look up.
Ling Tianxiang glanced at her indifferently, and walked around her without saying a word.
"It's the Valentine's Day chocolate I made myself, please accept it?" Jasmine didn't give up, and ran to him to block his way, holding the gift high in front of him.
"I don't want it!" Ling Tianxiang refused coldly.
Sister Yi and other clerical ladies who were watching the development of the situation were worried for Jasmine from the bottom of their hearts, fearing that Jasmine would become a woman whose heart was broken for Ling Tianxiang again.
All the female employees working in Lingtian Group know that Ling Tianxiang has always been rude to women who pursue him, and he is also known to hate women, so no female employee dares to imagine the story of "a sparrow turning into a phoenix" with him, and no one wants to be A member of the group of women scolded by Ling Tianxiang, not to mention they still rely on this job for food.
"What does it matter if you accept it, are you afraid that I will give you the bomb?" Jasmine said loudly, unaffected by Ling Tianxiang's sarcastic remarks.
"Don't bother me anymore!" After finishing speaking, Ling Tianxiang waved his hand and knocked the box of exquisite gifts out of Jasmine's hands.In an instant, the air seemed to be solidified and heavy, and time stopped suddenly. The gift seemed to be leaping at a speed that caught people's attention, like a slow mirror. The sound of "click" hitting the ground brought everything back to normal. On, the gift rotates in situ along the impact force.
Everyone's eyes fell on Jasmine.
"Ah, it's too bad, the chocolate inside will break!" Jasmine hurried to pick it up, while Ling Tianxiang walked into the elevator indifferently under the eyes of people who reprimanded but dared not speak out.
As soon as the elevator door closed, Sister Yi rushed forward from behind the counter to comfort her.
"Jasmine, don't be sad. He treats all women like this. Last time, he threw the gift boxes of clothing that they gave him into the trash can..." Before he could finish speaking, seeing Jasmine's raised face still With a faint smile, he couldn't help being stunned.
"It doesn't matter to me. What he said last time was ugly, but this time it was just a trifle." Jasmine blinked mischievously, and handed the box containing chocolates to her, "If you don't mind, this box of chocolates will be given to you. After finishing speaking, Jasmine straightened up, smiled and waved to her, and left the Lingtian Group building.
She is really a strong girl, it would be a pity not to be the daughter-in-law of the Ling family.Seeing Jasmine's back going away, Sister Yi thought to herself.
Walking out of the gate, Jasmine looked up at the clear blue sky and said to herself: "It's a pity that he didn't accept it after all! However, I've already expressed my heart, so there's nothing to be discouraged about. Come on!" She smiled brightly at the sky. , Jasmine regained her previous look, and walked to the side of the road to hail a taxi.
"Clap!"
There was a knock on the office door, and Ling Tianxiang said without raising his head, "Come in."
"Tianxiang." The person called.
Hearing this, he raised his head from the document, "It's Aunt San, what's the matter?"
Although Sister Yi had seen countless times of him rejecting girls, none of them made her that angry.
"This is the chocolate Jasmine gave you."
Seeing the exquisitely packaged gift box on the table, Ling Tianxiang said impatiently: "She is so annoying, she still begged you to bring her things." Then, he picked up the chocolate and wanted to throw it into the trash can.
"Wait, you don't have the right to dispose of this box of gifts. You didn't want it just now, she has already given it to me." Sister Yi snatched the chocolate.
Ling Tianxiang looked at the third aunt strangely, he, the third aunt, has always been a nosy person, why did he act uncharacteristically today?
"Then what did you bring up for me, Third Aunt?"
"I want to treat you to eat. Listen clearly, it is the chocolate that I treat you to. Don't give me too many excuses."
Ling Tianxiang knew the personality of the third aunt, and once he made up his mind, no one could hold her back. He was worthy of being his mother's sister, and he treated this third aunt just like he treated his mother-no matter what.
He opened the gift box obediently, and saw small and exquisite scallop-shaped chocolates neatly arranged in the box.Reluctantly, he picked one up and put it in his mouth.
what!tasty!Ling Tianxiang couldn't help being amazed.It was so delicious that he, who has never liked candy, had to praise it.This is liqueur chocolate. Not too sweet chocolate is wrapped with chocolate syrup mixed with wine aroma. The taste of wine and the rich aroma of chocolate match seamlessly. .He has never eaten such delicious chocolate. In addition to the wonderful texture and taste, there is another indescribably wonderful feeling, which makes people feel like being in the romance of Paris, France.
The chocolate was so delicious, Ling Tianxiang couldn't help but carefully inspect the packaged gift box to see which brand it came from, so that he could buy it and eat it later.After a closer look, he found that the entire package, from the box to the outer wrapping paper, was made by hand. The wrapping paper used to wrap the chocolate box was a landscape watercolor painting of a pond with a light red sunset glow.The sunset in the painting is gentle and quiet. Although the painting skills are not high, it makes the viewer feel the tranquility and peace of the painter.
"Wow! It's so delicious! It's even better than the master chocolate I ate in Switzerland!" Sister Yi saw that he didn't talk after eating it, and thought it was not delicious, so she also ate one, but she was surprised that it was so delicious extremely.
"It's so delicious! It's not too sweet, and it's fragrant and smooth." She ate another one as she spoke.
Marvel again.
"Ah! The one I ate just now tasted like red wine, but this one tasted like whiskey." Before she could swallow the one in her mouth, she picked up another one.
Hearing what she said, Ling Tianxiang understood that in this box of chocolates, each chocolate contained a different heart, and the one he ate just now was made of rum.No chocolate tastes the same, and it can be said to be a masterpiece of confectionery, which is undoubtedly a fine art.
If the girl named Jasmine really made it herself, there are only two explanations. First, she is a chocolate confectioner; second, she spent a lot of effort.I heard Lin Aotian mentioned before that she seems to be a fairy tale writer, why did she go out of her way to get close to him?For fame, for profit?Ling Tianxiang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.When he came back to his senses and looked at the chocolate on the table again, he saw that the box was empty.
"Ah, this is really the best chocolate I've ever eaten in my life, and I ate it before I knew it." Sister Yi looked at Ling Tianxiang's silence, as if she didn't care, and seemed unhappy that she swallowed it all by herself.
"Third aunt, eat so much chocolate, be careful that the weight loss course you completed last week was wasted again."
Tianxiang is concerned about her weight?
No wonder!
He was angry that he ate all the chocolate and left him none.
Hey?Strange, this is her chocolate!She brought it up to treat him to eat, why is he so angry!
After eating the chocolate, Sister Yi took away the remaining boxes and wrapping paper. To be honest, she liked the watercolor painting very much.
After the third aunt took everything away, there was only the aroma of cocoa in the air.Smelling the gradually wafting sweet scent, Jasmine's figure slowly emerged in his mind.
As soon as she opened the door, Ding Ling and Xiaoqing rushed forward, surrounded her and chattered about what happened, what Ling Tianxiang said, whether she was very moved, etc.
"He didn't want it." Jasmine walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of water.
"What? It's too much to ruin a girl's pure feelings! It's an unforgivable crime." Xiaoqing said with righteous indignation.
"He doesn't want it? That's the best chocolate! How many people want to eat it but can't eat it! That bastard!" Ding Ling said angrily, but turned her face and asked in a hurry: "What do you do with that box of chocolates?" Ding Ling Bell couldn't forget that delicious candy.
"I just gave it away." Jasmine turned around and waved away the two "big flies" that were following her around.
"What! You gave away such a delicious chocolate? Why didn't you bring it back to me? He doesn't care about it, I want it!" Ding Ling shouted, beating her heart and stamping her feet to regret such a delicious chocolate white Cheaper for the guy who received it.
"It's normal for her to give it to someone else on the spot. Looking at that box of chocolates will only make Jasmine sad, so you should be considerate of others, you only know how to eat it!" Xiaoqing scolded angrily.This Ding Ling is married, but she is still so slow in emotional matters, and doesn't know how to be considerate of other people's feelings at all.
"It's Xiaoqing who understands my heart." Jasmine looked at Xiaoqing with a slight smile, and could see a thin layer of mist in her eyes.
"Ling Tianxiang has already rejected you, do you still want to persevere?" Xiaoqing looked at Jasmine's slender fingers that were scarred by the pot because of countless times of practicing making chocolate.
Sighing softly like a breeze, Jasmine's dreamy eyes shone with sparkling water.
"I don't like him because he likes me. Even though he rejected me coldly and refused to accept my feelings, I couldn't give up." Jasmine said with a faint smile, "I cherish this A feeling of 'like him'. I haven't liked someone so much since my first love in kindergarten!"
Xiao Qing and Ding Ling both sat down on the sofa beside Jasmine.
"First love... Jasmine, you had your first love when you were in kindergarten? This is too precocious! You were only five or six years old at the most."
"That's right, how do you know how to fall in love at such a young age? At most, it's just a good partner of childhood sweethearts."
The two fussed and yelled together.
"But I can't forget him... It's been almost 20 years, and I have no interest in other boys. Isn't this considered love? I like this person so much, miss this person, this unswerving relationship Isn't it a kind of love?" Jasmine looked at the two with serious eyes.
"This..." Ding Ling faltered.
"Hmm..." Xiaoqing nodded after thinking silently, "I heard you say that love is indeed like this. But shouldn't love also have passion and obsession?"
Jasmine looked at the crystal bottle full of glass beads on the table in a daze, looked at the colorful beads inside, and said softly: "Love always exists in various forms, no matter what form it appears in, it is love. No one can I am completely sure whether other people's feelings are love, but I am the only one who can define my own feelings...No matter what will happen in the future, I know at this moment that I like him...that's enough."
The cloudy days that lasted for more than a week made people feel depressed for no reason.A gloomy sky gives a very depressing and uninspiring feeling.
After getting out of the car, Ling Tianxiang walked up the wide stairs in front of Lingtian Building with the file box as usual.
That woman is here again!
As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw Jasmine's petite figure standing in front of the automatic door at the entrance of the building, waiting for him.Since Valentine's Day, she has been waiting for him at the door of the company every Monday. Sometimes she greets him and says hello, but he never pays attention to her; now she doesn't talk much, and looks at him from time to time , with a calm smile on his face.
"Tianxiang, good morning!" Jasmine hurriedly ran here when she saw him.
"Can I call you Tianxiang?" Jasmine ran up to him and stopped, looked up at him and asked.
He didn't bother to answer, he just stopped in order not to run into her.
"You affirm if you don't deny it." Jasmine said with a smile.
Her self-righteous words aroused his disgust. He has never met such a cheeky girl who automatically and consciously helps others decide things.
He casually glanced at the girl in front of him.
Jasmine was wearing a sky-blue silk dress, holding a bouquet of dazzling golden sunflowers in her arms—it was a small ornamental sunflower.The flowers blooming brilliantly and enthusiastically are very beautiful. Under this gloomy sky, they seem to be a group of light full of vitality and vitality.Under the reflection of this ray of light, Jasmine's smile was so bright and dazzling in the azure blue dress.
Ling Tianxiang squinted his eyes as if pierced by her light.
"For you! I hope they can replace the sun and give you a sunny mood!" After finishing speaking, Jasmine stuffed the flowers into his arms. The dust is gone.
It was too late to refuse the bouquet, and the sender ran away again, so he had no choice but to walk into the company with the flowers.
Although he really didn't want to bring flowers into the company, after all, it would easily arouse people's suspicion that he wanted to send flowers to someone, but he couldn't just throw them at the door.In desperation, he put the flowers on the front desk in the lobby and hurried upstairs.
Undoubtedly, President Ling's act of putting the bouquet on the front desk was witnessed by many people. The girls working at the front desk were all blushing and discussing who the flowers were for.Although every female employee said that it was for colleagues who were prettier than themselves, they all secretly prayed that it was for themselves.
On weekdays, it is said that President Ling is very cool, very indifferent, and fierce to girls. No one wants to be his girlfriend, but that is just the mentality of not being able to eat grapes and saying grapes are sour. on himself.
"Stop guessing there, this flower was not given to any of you by the president." Sister Yi couldn't bear the daydreaming of these chattering women.
"Could it be for you?" Someone was unconvinced.
"Of course it wasn't for me. This flower was given to the president by someone else, and he just put it here casually."
"How do you know?" Unwilling to be disillusioned, all the women retorted "with concerted efforts".
"Because I saw who gave it to President Ling."
"Who is it?" At some point, sister Yi was surrounded by a large group of people.
"It's the girl who gave the president chocolate last time."
"Ah, it's her!" Everyone commented.
"That girl really has no shame. She is so stalking and chasing after men. It's really embarrassing for us women." Someone said with disdain.
"It's the president's fault. She humiliated that girl in front of so many people that time. She is a girl after all. It's too much to say such hurtful words. Sister Yi also said that he was going to throw the chocolate in the trash can." Some people Sympathize with Jasmine.
"That's not true. What is the identity of the president, regardless of appearance and family background, everything is hundreds of times higher than her. If you want to like her, you have to be blind." How ignorant Jasmine is.
"So," Sister Yi, after listening to everyone's opinions, signaled everyone to stop and let her express their opinions, "The president put this bouquet of flowers on the table at the front desk to tell me to throw it away, not to give it to the front desk Anyone who is sitting. Please wake up, we still have to work today, stop dreaming!"
Everyone muttered and went back to their respective jobs, while Sister Yi held the bouquet and said that she would throw it away.
Instead of throwing away the flowers, she took the elevator up to the top floor with her arms full of sunflowers.
The girl Jasmine is really ingenious. The long cloudy day really makes people feel depressed and depressed, and they can't cheer up for anything, but this bouquet of sunflowers in full bloom brings clear sunshine to people, and the flowers are beautiful. The lovely flower discs, like the smiles of the sun, make people involuntarily cheerful.
"Tianxiang, what do you think of these flowers here? It feels good, the whole room will light up immediately." Sister Yi put the sunflowers in the glass vase on the wine cabinet facing his desk, making him look up will be able to see.
Looking at the golden flowers in Third Aunt's hands, Ling Tianxiang said displeasedly: "Third Aunt, please throw away these flowers."
"No, it's too wasteful! You don't want it, I'll take it back to my eldest sister, anyway, your mother loves flowers the most."
"Forget it, just put it here!" Let her take it back, and she will definitely tell the origin of the flower and exaggerate it.
"Then I'm going out! Don't throw it away when I turn around! If you don't want it, just return it to me. I'll give it to someone else." After achieving her goal, Sister Yi easily closed the door.
After the third aunt left, Ling Tianxiang went back to work.
Without writing a few words, he unconsciously looked up at the dazzling bunch of sunflowers, and his gloomy mood inexplicably eased a lot.Just as he was watching, the flower turned into Jasmine's cheerful smile... Shocked, he hurriedly restrained himself and continued working. However, there was an irresistible force that attracted him to look at the brilliant and bright flower again.
He suddenly discovered that he didn't know when he started, but he was actually looking forward to the arrival of Monday in his heart.
"Is this how you work? Reflect on it for me, and give me a satisfactory report tomorrow." Ling Tianxiang's tight handsome face can fascinate all living beings no matter how ugly it is, but it's a pity that the group who are being scolded All the executives were terrified, and no one dared to look up at him.
"We went out to work." The executives left the president's office tremblingly.
Sister Yi sent the documents up to Ling Tianxiang to sign for receipt, just in time to hear the speculations of these disgraced executives.
"What's the matter with the president? This is the first time I've been scolded by him since I've been working here for so long." Director Zhang of the business development department said puzzled.
"We're not yet. This is the first time I've seen the president get angry. He's usually so calm that he doesn't look like a young man in his twenties. No matter what he encounters, he remains calm and composed. What could make him so abnormal."
"I don't know, but I heard from Liu Yang, the assistant secretary of the president's secretarial department, that something has been wrong with the president since three weeks ago, especially on Monday, it was like the eve of a hurricane. The atmosphere in the whole secretariat was dull To the extreme, they say that on Mondays, they don’t even dare to take a breath.”
"It's strange."
Everyone shook their heads and left.They didn't feel resentful because of Ling Tianxiang's scolding, but were curious why he suddenly scolded them.Usually Ling Tianxiang is very tolerant towards the staff, and never loses his temper with his subordinates because of trivial matters.
Hearing these words, sister Yi, who was as careful as dust, understood why her nephew was so abnormal after a little thought.
"Tianxiang, this is your air express." Sister Yi pushed the door open and entered.
Hearing Sister Yi's voice, Ling Tianxiang, who had been at the desk to sign, hurriedly raised his head, and a trace of anticipation flashed through his deep and beautiful eyes.
"Third Aunt..." The hesitant expression brought a meaningful smile to Sister Yi's face.
"What's the matter?" Knowing what he wanted to ask, Sister Yi deliberately pretended to be stupid.
Looking at the playful eyes of the third aunt, he really couldn't express the feeling in his heart that even he couldn't figure it out.
Shaking his head, Ling Tianxiang lowered his head and continued his work.What is going on with the restlessness and turmoil in your heart?Why did he always feel like something was missing this month and made him restless.Is it because he didn't see her?He was taken aback by the thought.
She hasn't shown up for four Mondays, is there an accident?Or was she already withdrawn by his indifference like the other girls?Thinking of this, Ling Tianxiang felt a pain in his heart.What to say "I won't force you to like me too. Because I am satisfied to find you!" In the end, she is as greedy as other women, constantly asking men to give, whether it is love or money, All equally greedy.
But... what happened to him?Why do I want to know so much why she didn't come, that annoying girl, I prayed for a miracle to make her disappear before my eyes last month, but when she disappeared in my sight, I was worried about her disappearance.
In fact, with the intelligence network of "Fashion in the World", anyone's whereabouts can be known within 5 minutes, not to mention the whereabouts of an ordinary person like her. To know where she is and what she is doing is effortless at all.But as the leader "Feng", he suppressed not looking for her news, he didn't want to admit that he cared about that girl.
"If it's okay, I'm going down. Someone gave me a special product from my hometown. It's a delicious banana leaf cake."
Seeing his contradiction, Sister Yi walked towards the door as she said intentionally or unintentionally.
Is it her?
Ling Tianxiang stood up abruptly when he heard the words.
"Well?"
Sister Yi turned around and looked at him, her eyes widened on purpose, pretending to be inexplicable.
"...It's nothing, you go down." Hurriedly restraining his slightly out-of-control behavior, Ling Tianxiang sat down slowly to stabilize the inexplicable emotions in his heart.
Glancing at him again, Sister Yi left the CEO's office confidently.
Wanting to go down to the lobby to have a look, this idea repeated in his mind almost a hundred times in 5 minutes.But he couldn't give himself a reason to carry out this idea, even though it didn't need any reason at all.
Finally, he finally gave up looking for a reason to act and left the office quickly.
When the elevator opened, he happened to see a familiar small figure leaving the reception desk in the lobby and walking out of the gate of Lingtian Building.Just when he wanted to catch up with the idea in his heart, that petite figure was already submerged in the dazzling sunlight at the entrance.After losing the temptation of the familiar figure, reason and self-control suddenly returned to him.
Annoyed by his childish thoughts and actions just now, Ling Tianxiang turned around and was about to walk into the elevator door that was about to close.
"President Ling! Come here, there is something good to eat."
He could tell from the sound that it was Aunt San calling him.
Although he really didn't want to go there, she was his elder after all, and she loved him the most when he was a child, so he could only reluctantly obey her for a while.
"President, this is for you." The third aunt handed him a simple food box, which contained a piece of pastry on a fresh banana leaf.
The emerald green banana leaves paired with bright yellow and translucent pastries are really beautiful.Cut the whole piece of cake into dices, put one into your mouth with a fork, the faint fragrance of banana leaves and the clear sweetness slowly spread from the tip of the tongue, which is very suitable for chewing with the soft and non-sticky texture of the plate cake.
This is a farm product. Jasmine went back to the countryside and heard that her grandma was ill, so she went back to have a look.This is a specialty of her hometown, a pastry made with unique local products in the country.I heard from her that the materials for making this kind of dim sum are rare, and they also pay attention to the harvesting of the seasons, so the amount that can be made each time is not much, but this time they gave me so much, obviously not only for the people at the front desk, And it's for another person!What Aunt San said when he took the box echoed in his ears again.
That girl is really, why is she so stubborn, she just doesn't give up on him.He had already said all his cruel words, and the girls who had pursued him in the past had already been hurt and shed tears by his vitriolic and sarcastic words, but her face was not only without a trace of gloom, but also full of dazzling sunshine.
Ling Tianxiang didn't notice at all that he, who had always put women in his eyes, was completely obsessed with Jasmine's sweet smile at this moment.
After coming back to hand in the draft, he hurriedly sent the native products of his hometown to Sister Yi, and asked her to hand it over to Ling Tianxiang. I don't know if she sent it.Jasmine turned on the TV while wiping her freshly washed hair, and fell down on the sofa by the way.
This month, she was so busy taking care of her sick grandma and writing manuscripts. Even so, she squeezed out the pitiful time to make that snack, hoping that Tianxiang could eat it.Although she often said to herself that it didn't matter whether he accepted her gift or not, it was enough to let him know what she wanted; but she still hoped that he could accept the local product from her hometown, because it was really delicious.
It feels so good to have someone I like, and I always want to share the best things with him. This kind of mood is really blissful.
While watching an interesting cartoon on TV, Jasmine picked up the phone and dialed the number of Lin Aotian's home.
"Hello, this is Lin's house. May I ask who are you looking for?" The Lin family's maid's polite voice came from the microphone.
"I'm Jasmine, is Bell there?"
"Oh, it's Miss Bai, Madam is in the sun room, please wait a moment."
The maid took the wireless phone to the sunroom and handed it to Ding Ling.
"Hey, Jasmine, you're finally back. How's your grandma's illness?" Ding Ling's concerned voice came from the microphone.
"It's much better. The doctor said it's just a little bit of heatstroke. If you rest more, you'll be fine. Grandma just can't sit still and refuses to rest obediently. I have to guard her and let her rest before leaving. I know, I After walking on the front foot, she ran out of bed to do farm work on the back foot, thinking about her pigs, ducks, geese and chickens and so on."
Ding Ling felt relieved when she heard that Jasmine's grandma was fine.
"Your grandma is ill, didn't you make cakes this time?" Ding Ling asked tentatively.
How could Jasmine fail to understand what she meant.
"Grandma didn't make it, but I made a little of it myself."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Ding Ling shouting excitedly on the other end of the phone: "Long live! There's something good to eat again!"
Amidst Ding Ling's excited shouts, she could also hear worried reprimands from the side.
"What? Did Aotian not go to work today?" Jasmine asked.
"No! Hearing that I was not feeling well in the morning, he skipped work and sneaked back. I'll ask him to drive me to your place. Bye!"
Ding Ling, who is about to become a mother, is still so lively. She has no self-consciousness about being a mother at all.
After hanging up the phone, Jasmine continued to watch her TV, laughing out loud at the interesting plot.
Tomorrow is Monday, she can see Tianxiang again.The reason why she chose to wait for him at the door of his company on Monday was arranged by Sister Yi.Because Ling Tianxiang will definitely return to the company's headquarters building every Monday, and at other times he has to fly around the world, running around for meetings, business talks, and participating in various public activities, so only Mondays can guarantee to see he.Although he sometimes comes to Lingtian Mansion at other times, she doesn't want to hinder his work, nor does she want to cause him too much trouble, as long as she sees him every Monday.
While watching TV, the doorbell rang hurriedly.
Opening the door, it goes without saying that the visitor is Greedy Cat Bell.
"Plate cake!" Before entering the door, the first sentence was to eat.
"At any rate, you should be more polite, or the baby will be spoiled by you after the baby is born." Jasmine smiled and pulled her into the room.
"I'm also worried that after the child is born, the naughty mother Ling will teach the child badly, and then it will really be bad in size." Lin Aotian, who followed in, continued.
"No, I just need to hand him over to you, the fairy tale writer who knows children best. Under your teaching, he will definitely become a genius baby." Ding Ling said wishfully.
She knew that Jasmine liked children very much, she had a lot of research on children's education, and she also had a lot of practical experience, because she was a kindergarten teacher herself.
"I can only teach you, but I can't replace you, so don't expect me to help you raise your child. Only when a child is brought up by their parents can they grow up happily and healthily." Jasmine said seriously.
"Yes! Yes!" Jasmine is always very serious when it comes to the topic of children's education. In her mind, children's education is more important than heaven. That's why she changed from a teacher to a fairy tale author. It can educate more children through beautiful stories and bring beneficial knowledge and happiness to children.
When taking the food box that Jasmine gave her, Ding Ling caught a glimpse of the pastry inside which had been divided.
"Who did you give it to? Xiaoqing?" Ding Ling asked curiously. In the past, Xiaoqing's share was always with her.
"I gave some Ling Tianxiang." Jasmine said.
"What? You give it to him? He definitely won't want it, and now it's probably thrown into the trash can." Ding Ling felt sorry for the fate of the delicious pastry being ruined. "Maybe, he doesn't seem very happy to see me." Jasmine said nonchalantly, as if talking about the weather.
Seeing Jasmine pretending not to care, Ding Ling said distressedly: "People like you who love unconditionally without asking for anything in return are truly extinct." Jasmine shook her head disapprovingly, "I It's not about loving him unconditionally."
"Then what's your condition? Why didn't I see it?" Ding Ling asked in puzzlement.
"He made me feel in love and have a loving heart, that's how I love him."
"Wow, your conditions are really lenient!" Ding Ling said in an uproar.
"It's not loose," Jasmine said disapprovingly, "because not everyone can make me feel this way."
Lin Aotian, who was listening to their discussion, couldn't help but said: "Jasmine, you should give up Tianxiang, he will never fall in love with anyone. He is very disgusted with emotional matters. His personality has even troubled me and his family." You can't change it with a lot of hard work. If you continue like this, you will only be hurt more by him in the end." Lin Aotian persuaded.
He knew what Ling Tianxiang's other identity was, and how powerful that "wind" that even the gangsters were afraid of was. If Jasmine really offended him, he really didn't know how he would die then.He didn't want his wife's best friend to have an accident. If this was the case, his wife would definitely cry to death first.
"That's right! Jasmine, Aotian knows a lot of handsome guys, so it's not a problem to introduce you to as many as you want, and the character and quality are guaranteed to be top-notch."
Jasmine glanced at the couple indifferently, and said with a sigh: "Any relationship has the possibility of being hurt. Can you guarantee that I won't get hurt if I fall in love with someone else?"
Ding Ling and Lin Aotian were speechless, they really did not dare to make such a guarantee.No one can say for sure about love, let alone guarantee it. No one can objectively draw a definite conclusion about love.Thinking that one's love can last forever is mostly a personal subjective formulation, which is nothing more than wishful thinking.
"If you are afraid of being hurt, it only proves that you don't really like the other person. If you really like the other person, even if you are hurt, it is a kind of happiness. Since you can't avoid being hurt in love, then I would rather be the one who hurt me." Jasmine looked at them calmly, and said firmly.
Ding Ling and her husband talked about Jasmine's love on the way home.
"What Jasmine said is also reasonable. If I will always be hurt, I would rather be hurt by someone I like. Being hurt by someone I don't like is simply self-abuse." Ding Ling said looking at Lin Aotian who was driving.
"That's true. Like me, those who are often hurt by you are also happy."
"I never hurt you!" Ding Ling protested.
"You often make me drink vinegar non-stop, so sour that my stomach will perforate." Lin Aotian said pointedly.
"I didn't force you to drink vinegar."
"Wife, as long as you don't keep your eyes on handsome men and beautiful women, I will be less jealous of your husband." Lin Aotian teased.
"Hmph." Ding Ling, who was said to be weak by Lin Aotian, ignored him angrily.
Lin Aotian, who was worried that her anger would affect her health, hurriedly coaxed her, telling her not to be angry.
Love is like this, what kind of pot matches what kind of cover, you are willing to fight, he is willing to suffer.
