5:30 in the afternoon, the winter dusk was already deep.
Xu Nan, who had been waiting at the company for half an hour without seeing Shen Qiang or receiving a call from him, walked out of the company with a disappointed look. She glanced around the company surroundings, but still didn't see Shen Qiang. She couldn't help pulling out her phone and scrolling to Shen Qiang's number.
But after some thought, she withdrew her hand from the dial button.
"He didn't come to pick me up, nor did he call me, probably because something came up," Xu Nan consoled herself inwardly, yet she couldn't help but cast her lovely eyes toward the opposite Happy Cash, hoping Shen Qiang would appear there smiling in the next moment.
Thinking about it, she kept warning herself that it was impossible, pondering whether to wait a while longer — who knows, maybe Shen Qiang would come?
But what if he doesn't come?
Waiting foolishly would be a joke?
Xu Nan walked hesitantly with all sorts of contradicting thoughts to her car, looking helplessly at Happy Cash, which was beginning to close, she forced a bitter smile and opened her car door.
Whoosh!
Countless blooming roses cascaded down as the car door opened.
Xu Nan was stunned.
At that moment, there was a boom from the direction of Happy Cash.
Xu Nan looked up, and was taken aback when she saw a plethora of roses arranged neatly on the enormous billboard spring off the rooftop in front of Happy Cash, forming in her sight a sentence.
"Xu Nan, love is only complete with you!"
Xu Nan was dumbfounded, shocked, and before she could even feel moved, she heard Shen Qiang's slightly teasing voice behind her.
"You left thirty-seven minutes late, but I guess there's no overtime pay."
Xu Nan turned around sharply.
Then, her beautiful eyes gleefully saw Shen Qiang standing right behind her.
No jeans, no jacket, no parka.
At this moment, Shen Qiang wore spotless, shiny black leather shoes that looked dignified yet youthful.
Sleek and well-fitted, the navy blue suit was perfect with not a crease or a stiff drape.
On his head, a black felt hat of craftsmanship near perfection looked especially gentlemanly.
It was practically a paragon of gentlemanly attire.
With Shen Qiang's height and physique, he wouldn't lose out to any male model even on an international fashion show stage.
This itself was exceedingly good.
Suits of gentleman nobility ought to accentuate Shen Qiang's mature, dignified charm with alluring aristocracy.
But oh well.
At this time, Shen Qiang's white shirt with vertical blue stripes had the top button loose, his narrow tie that highlighted a youthful stylishness was askew on his chest, not to mention, what made Xu Nan want to laugh was that his black gemstone gold cufflinks were indeed luxurious, elegant, and dignified.
But he's toying with a budding rose in hand.
Furthermore, his other hand was stuffed in his trouser pocket.
Pairing with the slightly irreverent smile, the whole person seemed unlike any solemn, noble knight's vow.
Instead, he exuded a rich vibe of suave rogue.
Sunny, carefree, laid-back, dangerous, yet charming.
Like a Mafia Godfather ready to draw his gun in movies, or an appealing bad boy agent like 007.
Despite the formal ensemble, he radiated a unique male charm that was dangerously alluring.
Xu Nan couldn't help but gaze dumbfounded.
Then without thinking, she leaned in to help Shen Qiang tidy up his shirt collar and adjust his tie, with a gleeful yet coy glance.
Looking at the sunny, proud smile of Shen Qiang, feeling his body heat, the rebellious aura of defiance towards rules, and the carefree disregard of societal etiquette despite his evident knowledge, all set Xu Nan's heart aflutter.
"For you."
Seeing Xu Nan's gleeful, coquettish eyes yet timid expression, Shen Qiang placed the budding rose in front of her.
Xu Nan gently took it, then looked at Shen Qiang, whose tie was now straight and shirt perfect, and burst into laughter, exclaiming playfully: "So strange, you dress so formally but I just can't sense the aristocratic demeanor, no matter how I see, you seem like a bad boy."
Shen Qiang laughed, came closer to her, slightly lowered his head, and gently wrapped a large hand around her waist, chuckling: "So you should be glad at least I'm a charming bad boy."
Xu Nan laughed with her eyes narrowed, a light blush rose on her lovely face, giving Shen Qiang a coquettish roll of the eyes.
"Narcissist!"
After giving this evaluation that could either be approval or denial.
Holding the rose Shen Qiang gave her with both hands, Xu Nan inadvertently noticed that a lot of people had gathered by the Happy Cash storefront.
There were even girls making "V" signs taking pictures in front of the rose lettering.
"Wow, husband, look how blissful their love is, so many roses, so happy, I want that too."
"Uh... I'll buy you a broccoli at the market later; you can cook it after you see it."
"Jerk!"
"So enviable of this woman called Xu Nan, such a romantic confession."
"Already shared with friends. Haha, I covered up Xu Nan's name leaving only 'Love is only complete with you', they all think someone confessed to me, it's thrilling!"
"Absolutely envious, if a man did that for me, I'd surely marry him."
"Husband, I want a confession like that."
"Haha, if someone did that for me, I'd marry him and give him a bunch of little monkeys."
"Men who do confessions like this must be rich, generous, and truly in love, so definitely marry them."
Listening to people's discussions.
Xu Nan's heart was filled with happiness.
Only looking at her car that was now filled with roses, she couldn't help but say coquettishly: "Shen Qiang, I can't drive my car anymore."
Shen Qiang snapped his fingers with a smile, and Ji Wei had already driven a luxurious business sedan over.
Opening the car door, Shen Qiang smiled and said: "That's why I specially prepared a car for you and reserved a restaurant. It's a formal Italian restaurant with handsome waiters dressed in white shirts and bow ties, and marvelous tenor singers, with a romantic aristocratic atmosphere pervading everywhere."
Xu Nan burst into laughter, looking charmingly at Shen Qiang she said: "They'll be afraid of you, because you look like a gangster, so to avoid making them feel anxious, I've decided to change the dinner venue to my place, prevent you from scaring people everywhere."
Shen Qiang laughed: "I've heard women in love can be quite capricious, so as a gentleman, I will respect her choice."
