”According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, roses can be used for cooling, soothing stomachs and stop hemorrhaging. However, the romanticists from western countries believes roses represent beauty, purity, love, loyalty and missing sentiments of a loved one,” Chen Xiaobei replied.

”Wow, you're pretty knowledgeable!” The security guard exclaimed in surprise – he never expected him to be so knowledgeable at his young age.

'There's no wonder why he's the first male guest Lady Luo personally invited here…' The guard thought. 'So many reputable men wanted her, but none could win her affection… I've never even heard of Lady Luo having a male friend. This kid must be quite something!'

”Thanks, you're very kind. Anyway, you should probably return to your post – I will go over to say hi.” Chen Xiaobei waved him away and walked towards her with a smile on his face.

”Honey! You look gorgeous today!” As usual, Chen Xiaobei flirted with Luo Puti.

”Nonsense! I'm not your honey!” As usual, she was not happy with him calling her 'honey.'

The security guard almost stumbled after hearing how he greet her.

'Wow! Kid, you're awesome… You've conquered the icy mountain of the Luo Family – that's really something!' The security guard thought.

”Why are you so shy? We're like an old couple already, and there's no one around!” Chen Xiaobei said as he made his way towards her, before freezing where he stood.

”What was that about 'no one around'?” An old man sitting on a chair called out, glaring at him in disapproval.

Things quickly turned awkward.

Chen Xiaobei sweated buckets. The old man was undoubtedly Luo Puti's grandfather – and he had completely ruined his first impression.

”Grandpa, you've misunderstood,” Luo Puti quickly explained. ”This boy always flirts. There's nothing between him and me!”

”Whatever. You two can carry on. Boy, remember to look for me before you leave. I would like to talk to you in private!” The old man said before he stood up and left.

”Shit! There goes my first impression! Damn it…” Chen Xiaobei seethed. Every bit of him wanted to kill himself right now.

*Giggle*

Luo Puti, who had been quite cross with his incorrigible flirting behavoir, begin to chortle at his reaction.

”Honey, you look so gorgeous when you smile!” Chen Xiaobei was stunned by the beauty of her smile as her anger vaporized.

”Could you be more serious? My grandpa might kick you out, you know!” Luo Puti said, rolling her eyes at Chen Xiaobei.

”But I am serious. Your skin is fairer compared to the last time we met – you are now literally glowing. It's so beautiful… You must have been wearing that belly band every day, huh?” Chen Xiaobei asked, raising his eyebrows.

Luo Puti's face turned red immediately – the truth was exactly that. The item never gets dirty, which was why she was able to keep wearing it; its dust-repelling property also made sure that her skin was never exposed to polluted air. That was why she was more beautiful than ever now!

”I'm glad you are wearing it every day,” Chen Xiaobei smiled, and then asked: ”You have something important to say, I believe? Go ahead.”
