C67 Private Garden
The bar?
Xia Jing tried to recall, but it seemed like she had some vague memories. However, she always thought that it was a dream. Was it not a dream?
She woke up with a start, and her face was red as if it was bleeding. She wanted nothing more than to bury her head under the table.
This person actually saw her like that. It was no wonder that she had been dreaming about him ever since. That day, she had really hit someone with her body that day.
Seeing Xia Jing's expression suddenly turn ugly, Qin Mo suddenly said, "I... am not very good at talking. I just want to show concern to Miss Xia. I hope Miss Xia doesn't mind."
"Mr. Qin is too modest. However, thank you for your good intentions, Mr. Qin." Xia Jing laughed dryly. A person who had been in the business world for so many years didn't know how to speak and lie to ghosts.
At this moment, Mr. Bodyguard, who was standing behind Qin Mo, really wanted to explain to his boss. It wasn't that his boss didn't know how to talk, it was just that he did not know how to talk to women.
After all, he had never met any woman in his entire life, and no woman was allowed to get close to him. Other people said that he had aversion towards women. To put it more bluntly, the boss was gay. However, from the looks of it, it wasn't that the boss didn't like women, but that he had never met a suitable woman.
It was just that this woman...
A trace of hesitation flashed across Mr. Bodyguard's face. It might not be appropriate.
The two of them were silent for a long time. Perhaps Xia Jing felt that this Qin Mo was really not very good at talking. He invited her over, but he kept silent in front of her. If it wasn't for the fact that he was good-looking, she would have stood up and left a long time ago.
In the end, after finishing the fruit juice in her hand, Xia Jing said weakly, "If Mr. Qin doesn't have anything else, should I go back first?"
"Does Miss Xia have any urgent matters at home?"
Xia Jing looked up at Mr. Bodyguard who was standing behind her in embarrassment. What urgent matters could there be? Shen Ruobai ignored her and let her imagination run wild all day.
However, sitting here was not the solution. This person didn't think much of it, and she felt awkward. The two of them were not very familiar with each other. Sitting opposite each other and drinking afternoon tea, wasn't it uncomfortable?
"Boss, Miss Xia likes flowers."
Mr. Bodyguard finally could not stand it any longer and reminded Qin Mo in a low voice.
Qin Mo seemed to suddenly see the light, and he immediately said to the restless Xia Jing, "I have a private garden in the mountain resort, and there are a lot of world-famous flowers in it. I wonder if Miss Xia is interested?"
Xia Jing quickly nodded her head. It was not important whether she was interested or not. The main thing was that she could get rid of the awkwardness of sitting opposite each other and drinking.
As expected, Qin Mo brought Xia Jing to his private garden. Usually, other than the gardener who managed the garden, no one else was allowed to step into it, so every single flower was well protected. All kinds of world-famous flowers formed a brocade that dazzled the eyes.
Although the flowers in the greenhouse in the summer were very precious, after all, they were raised in the greenhouse. They were different from the flowers that grew freely outside. Xia Jing was also a person who liked flowers. The moment she entered the garden, her eyes lit up and she asked, "Mr. Qin, haven't you been abroad all this time? Why do you keep so many flowers in China?"
"I also go back to China for vacation occasionally. I always ask people to take care of the flowers here."
Xia Jing nodded her head and squatted in front of a stalk of Salamandhys. She reached out her hand to touch it, but suddenly felt that it was a little rude, so she retracted her hand in embarrassment. This place was full of world-famous flowers, and Qin Mo protected them so well. What if she broke them?
"If Miss Xia likes it, you can pick all the flowers here."
Qin Mo's words caused Mr. Bodyguard's eyes to widen in shock. The boss loved flowers so much, and most of the flowers here were first-class treasures, and there was only one Salamandhys in the world. If he picked it...
"Really?" Xia Jing was extremely excited at this moment. She did not expect Qin Mo to be so generous.
Qin Mo nodded seriously.
Xia Jing was also a person who loved flowers but didn't hesitate to spend them. She thought that she might never have the chance to visit this manor again in the future. After getting Qin Mo's approval, she really took off the pearl of Salamandhys in front of her and hugged it in her arms. She said happily to Qin Mo, "This flower is so beautiful. Mr. Qin won't feel sorry for it, right?"
Naturally, Qin Mo would not feel any heartache. Even a thousand gold coins would not be able to win a beauty's smile.
Mr. Bodyguard's heart was bleeding, and he regretted his suggestion to the boss.
Coming out of the garden, Xia Jing's mood was obviously much better. She held the flower and chatted with Qin Mo all the way. He was not good at talking, so she was the one who found the topic. The two of them got along quite well. Xia Jing suddenly felt that there was nothing bad about having another friend. And it was such a powerful friend.
After walking around the winding corridor, two people walked towards her. Xia Jing's smile suddenly froze on her face and her footsteps stopped.
She had not seen that person for many days.
Shen Ruo Bai was also wearing casual clothes, as casual as if she was at home. There was a rare smile on her cold face, but she was looking at the woman beside her.
That woman...
Xia Jing only felt her heart ache for a moment. That woman was very beautiful. She was tall, had long black hair, fair skin, and a pretty figure. When she smiled, there were two faint dimples on her face. The two of them walked together, looking very compatible.
It seemed that he had been living a good life these days. Xia Jing suddenly found it funny. She had been worried about him these days. She had been thinking about him and thought that he was still angry with her. Unexpectedly, he had already forgotten about her. He probably didn't even know who she was.
Shen Ruo Bai also noticed her, and her smile immediately disappeared from her face. He looked at her with some surprise, as if he didn't expect her to appear here. Soon, his gaze fell on Qin Mo. Qin Mo nodded politely to him, but he narrowed his eyes coldly, and the aura around his body suddenly became shockingly cold.
"Salamandhys?" The woman beside him reacted even faster than he did. With a scream, she ran in front of Xia Jing and looked excitedly at the flower in her hand. "This... this is the only remaining flower in the world? Where did you pick it from?"
Her last sentence was more like a questioning. Perhaps it was because she felt sorry for the Salamandhys that was the only one left in the world, but she looked at Xia Jing with a hint of anger in her eyes.
"I don't know anything about flowers. I just picked them because they looked good. Of course, I picked them with the consent of the owner of the garden." Xia Jing's voice was indifferent. She obviously did not have a good impression of such a woman who suddenly appeared.
So what if the pearl hair clip was precious? It was not raised by her family. Was there a need for her to question it if it was picked?
"Mr. Qin?" The woman suddenly turned her gaze to Qin Mo with a slight questioning tone. Many people knew that Qin Mo had a private garden in the manor that no one ever stepped in. Could it be that the flower was picked from his private garden?
It was obvious that Qin Mo knew her. He nodded slightly but did not say anything.
