Tao Yi glanced at his watch before giving the surrounding area a quick look.

Smiling, he said, “Wait for me for two minutes.”

“Huh?”

Without explaining anything, Tao Yi ran towards a flower shop not far off.

Soon enough, he came back with a large bouquet of roses.

Hai Xiaotang was dumbfounded.

“Here, these are for you.” Tao Yi handed the roses to her.

Hai Xiaotang was taken aback, “Why are you giving me flowers?”

“Firstly, it’s to convey my gratitude for your help in taking care of my grandfather. Secondly, you were startled just now, I thought seeing flowers would make you feel better.” Tao Yi explained earnestly.

Hai Xiaotang found his reasoning sound, “Well, thank you.”

She accepted the flowers, smiling, “This is the first time I’ve ever received roses.”

Dongfang Yu has never given her flowers.

However, what she said meant something entirely different to Tao Yi.

He assumed she’d never had a boyfriend…

Tao Yi couldn’t suppress a soft smile, his gaze filled with warmth.

What a charming girl, his grandfather certainly had good taste!

Already in his heart, Tao Yi made up his mind, he would make Hai Xiaotang his wife!

But he couldn’t say that now, he’d wait until his current task was done and then approach her.

“Let’s go, I’ll take you to your car.”

“That’s not necessary, 1 can…”

Tao Yi started walking with her, “I won’t feel right unless I see you safely into your car.”

Hai Xiaotang laughed, warmed by his caring nature.

Tao Yi’s demeanor was just like a big brother.

After helping her into the car, Tao Yi reminded her, “Don’t venture out alone so late, this place can be chaotic.”

Hai Xiaotang nodded, “1 know, I won’t do it next time.”

“Go home and rest early. Text me when you get home safe.”

Hai Xiaotang laughed out of wonderment, “Alright, be safe yourself. Next time

I get a chance, I’ll treat you to a meal.”

Tao Yi laughed, “Sure, we’ll plan it then.”

“Okay!” Hai Xiaotang waved at him, Tao Yi reciprocated with a smile and a wave.

By the time Hai Xiaotang returned to the hotel, it was already past nine at night.

When she got to her room, as she swiped her card and pushed the door open, someone stepped inside right behind her!

Hai Xiaotang spun around in surprise, recognizing Dongfang Yu, she asked nonchalantly, “What is it?”

Dongfang Yu’s sharp gaze fell on the roses in her hand, as he noticed the scent of alcohol wafting off of her.

“Where have you been?” He asked coldly.

“I was out and about, is there a problem?”

Her indifferent attitude only angered Dongfang Yu more.

The fact that she had been out shopping without a care for him all day was one thing, but coming back so late, with alcohol on her breath and flowers in her hands!

Dongfang Yu’s eyes narrowed, “Hai Xiaotang, this isn’t C City, it’s New York! Don’t you know it’s dangerous to be out this late?”

Was he showing concern for her?

Hai Xiaotang didn’t mind his unpleasant tone, “I’m aware. Thanks for your concern.”

“Where did you go?” Dongfang Yu abruptly inquired again.

As if she’d tell him, “I need to rest. Can you please leave?”

“Where did you go?!”

“Just out and about, why so many questions?”

“Who were you with?”

Hai Xiaotang frowned, “Dongfang Yu, you’re being too nosy. I need to rest, please leave…”

As she extended her hand to push him out, he suddenly grabbed her wrist, tugging her towards him!
