The sudden appearance of Lin Fan was met with disgust from the onlooking crowd.
"Who is this security guard? Why is he butting in on Young Master Xu and Miss Shen's romance?"
"Haha... ridiculous. He's just a lowly security guard. He should know his place."
"Wow, this security guard must be loaded! Those roses, if I'm not mistaken, are the most expensive ones from Xinyue Flower Shop. Each rose costs 250 yuan. What a big spender!"
"Big spender? More like a poser. He's just putting on airs. Those flowers probably cost him several months' salary."
Shen Manni frowned slightly at the sight of Lin Fan.
The seemingly handsome young man before her was actually an extremely hypocritical person.
These past few days, Lin Fan had constantly tried to strike up conversations with her during her commute.
It made her feel nothing but revulsion.
Xu Mo's eyes lit up.
The protagonist had arrived, so the villain was doomed.
Things were about to get interesting now that the protagonist was in the big city.
Young Master Xu could finally go home now that the protagonist was here.
Xu Mo felt tears of joy welling up inside.
Faced with the flowers thrust before her, Shen Manni remained unmoved and even asked:
"Lin Fan, what's the meaning of this?"
Lin Fan had bought the flowers from the shop a while ago.
He had been hiding nearby, observing.
After seeing Xu Mo make a fool of himself, he finally came out to show off in front of this spoiled rich kid.
To let him know what true sincerity looked like.
Lin Fan was certain that Shen Manni would never agree to any of Xu Mo's requests.
The gift preparation was just her way of making things difficult for Xu Mo.
Lin Fan's lips curled into a slight smirk, but when he caught Shen Manni's look of disdain,
He froze.
Forcing himself to smile normally, though to others it looked normal, he felt it was somewhat unnatural.
"Miss Shen, thanks to your kindness, I was able to join Shen Corporation and have a job."
"I don't mean anything by it. I just happened to learn that today is your birthday, so I wanted to give you a gift. I hope you won't refuse."
Lin Fan spoke with his face full of confidence!
He believed that given Shen Manni's apparent disgust towards Xu Mo,
She would certainly not refuse the red roses in his hand.
"Oh ho? Trying to show off your love in front of me?"
"I'm sick to death of you two lovebirds."
Xu Mo walked over to the landscaped area by the CBD high-rise, casually plucked a small chrysanthemum from the flower bed.
He trotted back, imitating Lin Fan's flower-offering gesture.
Deliberately raising his voice, he said:
"Manni, this special gift represents my sincere feelings. I hope you won't refuse it."
[Hahaha... the plot has gone off the rails, but not completely]
[Got a gift now? Check! A 'priceless' little chrysanthemum. Next, you refuse, I get angry, the protagonist's imposing manner will shine through]
[Smash my little car, play the hero and rescue the beauty, take you away... perfect!]
[I'm sorry, stupid woman, I misjudged you!]
[As expected of you]
Brilliant!
Xu Mo felt that the plot gods were still favoring him after all.
Good luck doesn't favor fools.
Fortunately, Young Master isn't a fool.
Xu Mo felt his actions were reasonable and logical.
He could hardly wait to see what would happen next.
"Haha... how amusing!" Lin Fan sneered, curling his lip.
Xu Mo was just here to cause trouble.
With Xu Mo playing the fool,
It only served to highlight his own excellence.
"Mr. Xu, you're too funny! You can't test our Miss Shen like this."
"That's right! The flowers in the security guard's hands might not be expensive for Mr. Xu, but at least he's shown proper etiquette."
"Mr. Xu, have you ever considered a career in acting?"
The crowd laughed uproariously.
Among all the flowers Shen Manni's suitors had sent her,
None had ever been this low-class.
Shen Manni's lips were pursed, her pearly teeth biting her red lips. She had finally gotten the chance she was waiting for.
A gentleman's revenge may take ten years!
A woman's revenge lasts from dawn to dusk!
Under the gaze of dozens of eyes,
Ignoring the ninety-nine red roses in Lin Fan's hands,
Lin Fan's face, which had been beaming with confidence, froze, his expression turning to disbelief.
Shen Manni took the small chrysanthemum from Xu Mo's hand, her sexy red lips parting slightly.
"Thank you~"
"Huh???"
Xu Mo was a thousand times more dumbfounded than Lin Fan!
The onlookers were all stunned.
"Whoa... I can't believe it! Did I see that right? Miss Shen actually accepted Mr. Xu's gift for the first time." A staff member from the HR department rubbed his eyes vigorously.
"Looks like our Miss Shen has had a change of heart."
Another employee from the sales department sighed deeply.
The female employees seemed even more excited than their male counterparts!
"This must be the power of love! True love prevails in the end. Mr. Xu's hard work has finally paid off."
"This moment has restored my faith in love."
"Long live love! Long live love!"
A wave of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.
Xu Mo was startled, involuntarily taking half a step back.
That idiot over there, this wasn't any damned love story.
This was clearly a tragedy!
Xu Mo nearly coughed up blood.
He wasn't the only one hurt.
The critical hit Lin Fan took
Was a thousand times worse in his eyes!
But it wasn't over yet. Shen Manni delivered another blow to both of them, mainly to Xu Mo!
Her fair, slender hand played with the chrysanthemum, bringing it to her delicate nose for a sniff, her face full of pleasure.
She deliberately raised her voice slightly.
"This flower smells so wonderful. Flowers given with sincere feelings are truly different."
"It's incomparable to those cheap roses that money can buy. I love it so much!"
Shatter!
Crumble!
Zhou Qiaoqiao, you wanted Xu Mo to follow the plot?
You wanted me to cooperate with you two scoundrels.
Let me tell you (word by word)
-------------Impossible!
Lin Fan's mind was struck as if by a thunderbolt.
Was this still the ice queen he had fallen for?
How did she end up with this wastrel?
Xu Mo was even more bewildered than him.
Shen Manni's words were so embarrassing, so humiliating.
Xu Mo wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
Indeed, staying around such a woman would affect one's self-esteem.
But it was far from over.
Shen Manni took the initiative to grab his hand.
She pulled him towards that garish green McLaren 720S.
"Didn't you say you were going to take me to dinner? Let's go."
The moment their hands touched.
Shen Manni felt a bit uncomfortable.
But she heard Xu Mo's inner voice, nearly going mad with complaints.
The corners of her mouth turned up in a smile that could slay most women.
"Hehe... now it's my turn to disgust you!"
Xu Mo, like a walking corpse, allowed her to lead him into the car.
"Impossible, it's impossible, that wastrel must have used some dirty trick!"
"It must be that!"
Lin Fan tried to reassure himself, throwing the roses in his hand to the ground.
At this moment, regardless of Shen Manni's reasons
For taking Xu Mo's hand,
It had fundamentally angered him.
The consequences of angering a war god were severe-------
Bang bang-------
A series of loud crashing sounds rang out.
Xu Mo came to his senses.
He saw the enraged dragon king had torn down a trash can, dragged it over, and was now smashing his car with it.
The car's hood and engine were all smashed up.
At that moment, Xu Mo saw the light again.
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became!
[Wuwu... stupid woman, I misjudged you, your husband still loves you]
[Look, he came running over to smash my car for you]
[This is truly outrageous (well done)]
Bang-bang----
The airbags deployed.
Xu Mo, quick as lightning, pushed Shen Manni out of the passenger seat.
Preventing her face from being smothered by the airbag.
He, on the other hand, was hit by the airbag in front of him.
His head shook slightly.
Physical damage had no effect on him.
But the violent shaking still left him feeling a bit dizzy.
Xu Mo gave the protagonist a thumbs up. This was much more decisive than in his previous life.
This time, the smashing was thorough, even bursting the airbags.
Awesome!
As for helping Shen Manni, it was partly instinctive, and partly because this stupid woman was the female lead.
If the female lead ended up in the hospital, who would he act out the upcoming scenes with?
Shen Manni stumbled out of the car, her head spinning. Everything had happened too quickly for her to process.
She stared blankly at Xu Mo in the car.
Xu Mo had actually been so kind as to help her?
In contrast, Lin Fan was like a raging beast.
Fuming with anger, he walked over and shouted at Xu Mo.
"You lowlife playboy, you must have used some underhanded means to threaten President Shen, didn't you?"
Xu Mo got out of the car, seeing this as a good opportunity to accumulate anger points.
He put on the face of an evil villain, as if affected by a halo of diminished intelligence.
"Tsk... I didn't expect you to figure it out so quickly."
"I used high-grade imported goods, damn it..."
[Should I add that my plan to make Manni taste the Great Celestial Dragon was also seen through? Ugh, that's too disgusting. Better not add it...]
[The protagonist believed it, hatred has been stirred up. That's enough, that's enough.]
Lin Fan's eyes lit up. He took a deep breath, then burst into laughter.
"President Shen, did you see that? This guy is no good... If it weren't for me, you would have almost been taken away by him... just now..."
Slap---
A loud slapping sound rang out!
Lin Fan's voice cut off abruptly.
His hand, which was about to grab Shen Manni to leave, froze awkwardly in mid-air.
Shen Manni said coldly, "Don't touch me!"
