Chapter 3995: A Perfect Match (191)
Qin Zhou’s eyes went blank for a moment as he listened.
…
When Liang Yin returned home, she took a shower and brushed her teeth before lying down on the bed. Her eyes wandered to the opened gift box on the stool. Inside were three pink champagne roses. These were the flowers given by the restaurant during dinner that night. Qin Zhou had, in turn, given them to her. To her, however, it was simply a gift from Qin Zhou.
She fetched a vase from the balcony. After washing it, she added some nutrient solution and filled it with water. Then she carefully placed the three champagne roses inside. It was the first time in her life that she received flowers from someone.
Even though she knew that roses like these were difficult to raise and could easily wither, she could not bear to abandon them. Instead, she took care of them meticulously. She placed them on the windowsill, then slumped over the tabletop and stared at them in a daze. This time of the year was the best time for roses…
It didn’t take long before she seemed completely absorbed.
The next day, she left in a rush, to report to the filming crew. As Qin Zhou had arranged for her to join the production team directly, the production crew was especially enthusiastic about her. They arranged to accommodate her at the hotel. She was pleasantly surprised to find that she was staying just next to Hua Jin’s room.
They were neighbors again!
This was good. At least there was someone familiar just next door. She was new to the crew and everything was unknown and unfamiliar to her. Although she had acted for Hua Jin previously, the experience was not quite the same now that she had swapped back into her own body.
After she’d put her things away, she took the vase out from the tightly wrapped plastic bag and carefully placed it on the windowsill, giving it as much sunlight as possible.
The doorbell rang.
Liang Yin turned around in confusion, thinking it must be Hua Jin. She immediately went forward and opened the door. A stranger stood at the doorway.
No.
She stalled for a few seconds. Then she quickly recognized the man in front of her as the general manager from the mall yesterday.
“Oh, it’s you.” A conflicted expression appeared on Liang Yin’s face. It was obvious that she was still brooding over what had happened yesterday. She was not a petty person, but definitely not one so magnanimous that she’d easily put any unpleasantness behind her.
She snapped at the man, “What do you want?”
“Hello, Miss Liang. It’s like this. For the unpleasant incident yesterday, we sincerely apologize to you again! This is a small token of our appreciation. We hope you can accept it!”
As the general manager spoke, the assistant behind him respectfully held up a gift box.
The assistant opened the gift box. In it, she could see a thick layer of pink rose petals. In the midst of the petals was a small but extremely glittery jewelry box. Glittery because the surface of this box was encrusted with shiny clear crystals.
Liang Yin gave them a puzzled look. “What is this?”
“It’s a small token from us. I hope you’ll kindly accept it!”
“A small token?”
“You’ll see when you open it!”
Liang Yin carefully opened the box and was stunned when she saw a pair of purple pearl earrings.
Jewellery?
“I hope you like it!” The general manager looked as sincere as could be.
Except that Liang Yin didn’t seem happy, or rather, she couldn’t bring herself to be happy. “Why are you giving me this?”
