"Picking this flower must have taken quite a bit of effort."
Ji Ming heard his boss say this and thought the boss was 'moved', so he followed up with, "Madam's calf did get a few mosquito bites."
Seeing that the boss was holding the flower, Ji Ming decided to go get a vase from the office upstairs: "I'll go fetch a glass bottle."
After Ji Ming left, Song Baiyan glanced again at the Twiggy bush in his hand.
His gaze was gentle, with a touch of indulgence.
The little flowers blooming at the tips of the branches, were playful and charming.
If he wasn't familiar with Tang Li's true nature, he might really have been fooled by her.
It seems she's 'holding a grudge' over that picture he sent.
Ji Ming entered the office holding a small vase, and found Song Baiyan standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, the bouquet of purple flowers clasped behind his back.
The chandelier lights were dazzling, casting Song Baiyan's tall figure into a mix of light and shadow.
