Chapter 605 - 605: Wrong Bouquet
Ye Nanshen and Gu Ziye parked the car far away and rushed in hastily.
“Where’s the ring?” Ye Nanshen asked.
“It should be in the bouquet that Rong Qi took,” Gu Ziye said.
It was a disaster. Gu Ziye had delivered the wrong bouquet. Ye Nanshen had prepared two identical bouquets, one for a romantic gesture in the evening, and the other for daytime. Unfortunately, Gu Ziye, in his carelessness, had given away the one with the ring hidden in it.
Now, Ye Nanshen felt like wringing Gu Ziye’s neck.
“I don’t know if Rong Qi has found the ring inside, but she definitely saw the card,” Gu Ziye speculated.
Lu Chengzhou was holding another bouquet of Juliet roses with a card, [Qiqi Shines.]
It was a typical, concise “blessing” from Ye Nanshen. Though it seemed more like something he would do after getting sick. After all, who sends a congratulatory message with just these few words?
If it weren’t for the astonishing sea of flowers earlier, these four words combined with roses would have been suffocating.
Gu Ziye muttered, “The reporters saw it. How did you guys miss it?”
Lu Chengzhou replied, “Shen was too focused on looking at Rong Qi. Who would notice the flowers?”
Realizing the situation now was already a relief. After asking Mrs. Hong, they found out that Rong Qi had taken the bouquet upstairs.
Ye Nanshen frowned and said, “You go, lure Little Qi out first. I’ll go to the room and get the ring.”
“Me? No, no. Everyone knows I don’t get along with Rong Qi. We’re like oil and water,” Gu Ziye quickly shook his head. “Lu Chengzhou should go. They have a good relationship.”
‘A good relationship?’ Ye Nanshen scowled.
Lu Chengzhou’s eyes widened and said, “No! Last time, Rong Qi even gave me a scorpion! Look, I still have Orangie with me!”
Lu Chengzhou showed the bottle he carried in his pocket, indicating that he too had angered Rong Qi. This mission was impossible.
So, the three of them turned to Shangguan Ze, who was drinking lemon water nearby. Ye Nanshen said, “You go.”
Upstairs, Rong Qi, who was sleeping, was rudely awakened by loud knocking. Annoyed, she frowned, got out of bed, and secretly grabbed something from the cabinet.
“Are you there, Sukie? Help, it’s urgent!” Shangguan Ze was hammering at Rong Qi’s bedroom door.
The door suddenly opened from inside, almost causing Shangguan Ze to fall in. But before he could steady himself, he saw the wrench in Rong Qi’s hand, screamed, and quickly dodged.
Thankfully, he wasn’t hit. If the wrench had struck his head, he would have needed stitches at the hospital.
Shangguan Ze, still shaken, clutched his chest. Rong Qi, standing at the door, looked very displeased. She said, “Speak. It better be a matter of life and death, or I will skin you alive!”
Shangguan Ze, with his legs tightly crossed, holding his stomach, stammered, “Sukie, I need to pee, your house is too big, and I can’t find the bathroom.”
“Shang, Guan, Ze,” Rong Qi said. Her face turned dark, her beautiful eyes narrowing as if counting down the time of Shangguan Ze’s demise.
Her tone was calm, but it was the calm before a storm.
Shangguan Ze knew he was in deep trouble!
Since he was doomed anyway, he decided to be bold. He suddenly stood up straight, spat at Rong Qi, and then turned to run away. He had wanted to taunt her, but he feared he wouldn’t be able to escape if he started talking.
Rong Qi stood at the door, coldly smiling. There was no spit, but she felt Shangguan Ze’s provocation..
