My System Forces Me to Live off Women
Chapter 399 - 297: Problem Solved
"Miss Huang, half an hour ago a delivery person came and brought a bouquet of flowers, saying it was for you."
"Oh? Did he say who sent the flowers?"
"No, but there’s a card in the flowers."
Just home, Huang Tianxuan was taken aback as she accepted the exuberant jasmine bouquet from the nanny, her eyes filled with surprise and doubt. As she retrieved the flower card and read the neatly written words on it, a smile gradually appeared on her face.
I have seen the gentle rain of Jiangnan’s evening smoke;
West Lake, trees, and the city full of yellow daylilies.
Graceful, is your flower bearer.
I am only responsible for tracing,
Whether it blooms is up to you to say.
"So pretentious!"
Huang Tianxuan smiled and shook her head, already knowing who the sender was. Only one person could write these words, and he knew her address in the Capital; she just transferred 250 to him this afternoon...
"What a fool, sending flowers without delivering them in person, and using a delivery service? No sincerity!"
Though grumbling in her heart, Huang Tianxuan lightly sniffed the fragrance of the jasmine, then handed it back to the nanny: "Auntie, please keep it in my bedroom and don’t let it die."
"Alright."
The nanny nodded, taking the flowers without discussing further care. Meanwhile, Huang Tianxuan changed into slippers at the shoe cabinet, her mood visibly improved.
"What a lovely jasmine flower~ what a lovely jasmine flower~ so fragrant and beautiful..."
Humming a tune, Miss Huang returned to her bedroom to change into pajamas. After changing, she saw the nanny placing the jasmine flowers into a vase and watering them. The setting sun cast golden hues on the white blossoms adorned with droplets of water.
"Looks pretty good."
Unable to resist, Huang Tianxuan took out her phone to take a photo. After taking the picture, an idea crossed her mind.
"They’re probably still fighting with him, right? How would they feel if they saw these flowers now?"
"I want to know!"
Huang Tianxuan grinned, then posted the photos on her social circle—a picture of the flowers, and a picture of the flower card, both carefully set to be seen only by ’Wu Wenyue, Xu Manning, Zhao Qingge’...
The caption read: "Can jasmine flowers be used to brew tea?"
Whether the flowers can brew tea is unknown, but the caption is certainly provocative with a high hate-inducing index!
But after waiting three minutes, no one replied or liked the post, and Huang Tianxuan’s patience quickly wore thin!
"How can this be? Didn’t he send the flowers for nothing then?!"
So, Huang Tianxuan directly sent the two photos first to Xu Manning, then to Wu Wenyue. After sending to these two, she was about to forward to Zhao Qingge, but before she could, Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue’s interrogations arrived in quick succession, leaving her no time to forward and having to deal with the two of them...
Wu Wenyue: "(dog head) Yo yo, who sent the flowers?"
This was cautious probing.
Xu Manning: "Who sent it? Who wrote the words on the card?"
This was a straightforward inquiry.
Actually, by proactively sending the photos to them, Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue already had an idea, and the style of the words on the flower card seemed like something Li could say, but the handwriting didn’t match, leaving Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning somewhat uncertain about who exactly sent the flowers.
Unable to contain her eagerness, Huang Tianxuan, seeing their questions, wanted to immediately say Li Peifeng’s name, but after all, she had no evidence, and Li hadn’t mentioned it beforehand, so...
She sent the chat screenshot she had just had with Li Peifeng to both of them!
"(helpless shrug) It should be from him, right? Sigh, so annoying."
Truly infuriating!!!
The reactions of Xu Manning and Wu Wenyue could be imagined, starting a barrage of questions towards Huang Tianxuan...
Xu Manning: "He asked you for a 520 red envelope? Why?"
Huang Tianxuan: "Shameless, right? I already tipped him, and he asks for 520 via WeChat. Doesn’t he understand the significance of this number? How could he do this?"
Wu Wenyue sent a row of ellipses.
Xu Manning sent a question mark.
Feeling a bit overdone, Huang Tianxuan promptly added: "Then I gave him 250 just to scold him. Who would have thought he’d inexplicably and silently send me a bouquet of jasmine and write such sweet stuff... Is this a love poem? Why is he so relentless?"
Xu Manning: "(smiling) Writing poetry? Jerks are like that."
Who are you talking about? Are you getting angry? Did it hit a nerve?
Huang Tianxuan chuckled, about to tease further when Xu Manning sent another message: "How much did you tip him?"
Wu Wenyue was asking a similar question, and feeling a bit overwhelmed, Huang Tianxuan decided to simply set up a group chat and added the two of them...
After careful consideration, the group name was decided by Huang Tianxuan as: [250 Jasmine Bouquet]!
Just after joining the group, neither Wu Wenyue nor Xu Manning spoke, so Huang Tianxuan took the lead and revealed the amount she tipped for "Sword and Law."
Xu Manning: "A hundred thousand?! You’re really wealthy!!"
Wu Wenyue: "With a hundred thousand, you should have given it to him directly, how much will the platform take!"
Huang Tianxuan: "I just think his new book is quite good, that’s all. You guys haven’t read it, right? Before he released the novel, he privately sent me the manuscript, and I read it in advance. It was really well written! So today, when he officially published it, I gave a tip. Just didn’t expect he might have misunderstood. Then he asks for 520—this guy, I was just affirming ’A Gentle Breeze’ as a reader, and Li Peifeng is still hitting on me... you guys really need to teach him a lesson!"
Xu Manning: "(smiling) It’s just jasmine flowers, take the 250 and enjoy, save them to brew tea, and your tea skills will only get better!!"
