The dim yellow streetlights bathed the ground. From time to time, some cars would drive past, and the air had the faint presence of a cool wind.

Dongfang Liuyun looked down at the coat on her lap, thought about it, and did not reject it. She casually picked it up and put it over her shoulders. Then, she turned to the man beside her and said calmly, "Thank you! You're a qualified gentleman."

Upon hearing that, Qi Lei chuckled and teased her, "Actually, I don't think I'm qualified. I'm only a gentleman to gorgeous women."

"How practical of you, but I do admire your honesty. At least, you're better than those hypocritical people." Dongfang Liuyun abruptly averted her gaze and looked towards the busy road.

"Aren't you quite honest and frank yourself?" Qi Lei recalled the time she called out that man called Ah Jin earlier.

Dongfang Liuyun seemed to know what he was thinking about and she laughed calmly. "Well, that depends on who I'm talking to. You need to make things clear with some people. Otherwise, they will be egoistic and have an exaggerated opinion of their own abilities."

"You always hit the nail on the head. You might easily make others unhappy. Aren't you worried?" Qi Lei stared at her, a little surprised while a meaningful light gathered in his gaze.

"It's not a bad thing to get straight to the point. People nowadays lack that genuinity. Of course, someone like me wouldn't be good socializing with those in your scene. I'm considered half a scholar now. Most scholars are like this, so in my father's words, I'm destined to be someone who isn't going to achieve much in life."

When she said this, she seemed a little helpless as she sighed and slowly propped herself up to stand. "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go find some food. It's right up front."

Then, before Qi Lei could answer, she just continued walking ahead.

The streetlights stretched her long shadow out. When Qi Lei looked up, he seemed to be in a stupor. After a while, he gently picked up his bag and silently followed after her.

...

After she explained what Mu Yuchen wanted to Detective Zhang, the latter hesitated for a moment but agreed to Xi Xiaye's request in the end. When the two of them left the area, it was already getting dark.

Xi Xiaye did not return to Maple Residence immediately. Instead, she went back to get some documents from Fuhua before heading home.

The sky was completely dark at this point. Mu Yuchen had called from home several times to prompt her now, so Xi Xiaye was looking forward to going home. She took her bag and rushed to leave the office.

However, she had just stepped out of the elevator when the receptionist respectfully walked up to her. "CEO Xi, the florist has sent over flowers for you!"

Flowers?

Xi Xiaye frowned, then looked to the receptionist where a bouquet of beautiful yellow roses immediately greeted her sight.

Yellow roses?

Who would send her these?

Mu Yuchen?

The first person Xi Xiaye thought of was her man.

However, that was not right. Her man would never send her these flowers as he would either send red or blue roses. What would these flowers mean?
