Chapter 508 - Confessing to Old Wu! (2/2)
When he pa.s.sed by the room that he had slept in, Zhang Ye was stunned. ”Aiyo, why did you make the bed for me? Sigh, I forgot to make my own bed after waking up.” The blankets and pillows were all stacked nicely on the bed, and even the coffee cup and ashtray that he had been using last night were taken away and cleaned up by Old Wu. Zhang Ye felt quite embarra.s.sed about it as he was already troubling someone by staying over, and now Old Wu even had to clean up after him!
Wu Zeqing ignored him and just walked down the stairs.
Zhang Ye looked at her from behind and was feeling her gentleness and warmth. He mustered up a few words and the courage to say them, but always faltered just before the words could come out from his mouth. Instead, his face turned red from this. Just because he dared to scold anyone didn't mean that he could say what he wanted to say to a woman, especially when she was such a beautiful woman. He tended to speak more formally with her.
He had a lot of words that he had wanted to say last night when he had been photographing Old Wu, but now, he could not even open his mouth.
There weren't too many days left of the reduced difficulty period. Only three days of the total duration of slightly more than six days were left now, and he had to make use of this time to confess to Old Wu. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a chance in the future!
How big of a gulf was between the two of them?
It wouldn't be too exaggerated to say that a day and a continent separated the two of them!
Old Wu was successful in her career and already at a high place at 30 something, but him?
He may look like he was doing well on the outside, but actually his career had only just started.
Old Wu was blessed with good looks and was beautiful from head to toe and from inside to out, but him?
He was just ordinary, and he couldn't even be considered a little bit handsome.
Old Wu's personality was good as well. She knew how to take care of others, respect others, and was basically very considerate in all aspects, but him?
He would create trouble everyday, offending people everywhere. He could not cook or take care of people and was lazy.
Sigh, let's just stop here. The more reasons he brought up, the more likely he would burst into tears!
”Shall I make some eggs?”
”Anything is fine.”
”OK, I will heat up some milk too.”
Downstairs, Wu Zeqing began to busy herself with ch.o.r.es.
Zhang Ye could not help in anyway, so he just stood by her side and looked on. He had been thinking over and over again on how to confess. Should he do it gracefully?
Boldly?
Frankly?
A cell phone rang.
It was Old Wu's cellphone.
She checked the CallerID and smiled as she picked up. ”Director w.a.n.g.”
Zhang Ye leaned in closer and managed to overhear a bit of the conversation. It was a man, who sounded like he was in his thirties, not too young or old. ”President Wu, I heard that you were promoted?”
She answered, ”It's just a lateral promotion.”
The other party said, ”Where will you be headed?”
She replied, ”To the south, I guess. It still hasn’t been confirmed yet.”
The other party paused for a moment before saying, ”It's Valentine's Day today, are you free? Let me give you a treat.”
Zhang Ye's ears perked up up immediately. d.a.m.n you, who the h.e.l.l does this w.a.n.g guy think he is?
How dare you try to cut this bro's corner?!
But he heard Wu Zeqing laugh and reply, ”Next time. I have something going on today.”
That person said, ”You have a date?”
She replied, ”Hur hur, it's not really a date, but I won't be able to go for sure. We can always have the farewell dinner another day. It would be the same anyway. We can also call a few of our old friends along for the gathering before I leave.”
That person could only reply, ”Alright then.”
After hanging up, the doorbell rang.
A man's voice shouted out from outside, ”Courier.”
Wu Zeqing went to open the door.
When the courier saw Wu Zeqing, he gave a look of amazement and was stunned for a moment. Then he said, ”Are you Madam Wu? I have a parcel for you, please sign here.”
”Oh, thank you.” Wu Zeqing signed off on the acknowledgment slip and opened up the parcel. It was a big box of chocolates from abroad in the shape of hearts. One could tell that it was expensive just from the look of it alone.
When the courier left, someone from the florist arrived with two big bouquets of flowers. One of them was red, while the other one was blue in color. The florist delivery person asked Wu Zeqing to sign for the delivery.
Wu Zeqing's expression did not change and she asked, ”They're both for me?”
The female florist delivery person replied, ”Yes, they're both for you. We received these two orders yesterday and only noticed it today when we were preparing to send out the flowers. The addresses were the same, so we brought them over together. Ahem, this one is from Mr. Zhang and this one is from Mr. Liu. Can you sign both acknowledgment slips?”
It wasn't really that coincidental, since the florist was one of the bigger shops in the vicinity of Taoran Pavilion. It was also more popular and so the two orders were made at this shop via a website.
The florist delivery person was still wondering earlier about this. It was a rare occurrence even to them, but when he saw Wu Zeqing, he seemed to have realized that it wasn't that much of a surprise at all. For such a beautiful woman, if she weren't married yet, it wouldn't even be surprising if she received more than a dozen flowers, let alone just two bouquets.
After Wu Zeqing signed it, she said, ”Thank you.”
Zhang Ye, who had been observing this from the side, was now feeling hatred for those gift senders. He had wanted to scold all of them harshly! This was really pus.h.i.+ng it too far!
You people have pushed it too far!
The confession has to be today!
It had to be!!
If he didn't, then Old Wu might be s.n.a.t.c.hed away by someone else instead!
