Chapter 5 The Mysterious Person

• In the following days, bouquets of flowers were delivered daily. There were bellflowers, white roses, lavender, blue enchantress, and deep red roses...
• Despite the different bouquets, they all contained the same number of flowers, greeting cards, and messages.
• This matter became a topic of discussion among colleagues during tea breaks, and everyone speculated about the identity of the mysterious person.
• Various speculations gradually reached An Jingxi's ears, and she secretly vowed to make the mysterious person regret it once they appeared!
• Finally, on the 20th day of continuous flower deliveries, a man holding a bouquet of flowers appeared at the entrance of the design department.
• Cold Night stood at the doorway for a while, and his gaze finally found An Jingxi, who had just walked out of the office while reading a document.
• As An Jingxi was reading and walking, she suddenly bumped into a sturdy chest. Rubbing her sore nose, she looked up and saw Cold Night.
• "Hey, do you still like the flowers I sent you?" Cold Night changed his usual cold demeanor and smiled at her.
• His voice wasn't loud, but it was audible throughout the office.
• Upon hearing this, the onlookers who were gossiping nearby all showed shocked expressions. They didn't expect that it was Cold Night, known for his coldness, who sent the flowers!
• Could it be that they...?
• An Jingxi didn't dwell on it. When she heard the word "flowers," her anger skyrocketed.
• Turning her head to see the curious gazes of the crowd, her anger reached its peak. "What are you all looking at? Go back to work! If this month's performance doesn't meet the standards, I'll deduct your salaries!"
• Seeing that An Jingxi seemed genuinely angry, everyone quickly dispersed.
• The strange man in front of her turned out to be the one who had been sending her flowers for over ten days?
• An Jingxi looked at Cold Night with a speechless expression. Just as she was about to question him, she noticed a colleague hiding in the corner. After taking a deep breath, she pointed at Cold Night and said, "Come with me!"
• Seeing An Jingxi's embarrassed and angry expression, Cold Night wasn't angry either. He obediently carried the flowers and followed her outside.
• An Jingxi found a nearby café, and under the guidance of the waiter, the two of them sat in a corner.
• To be honest, An Jingxi didn't feel good about this situation, but she was even more afraid of being caught by paparazzi and ending up in the news with him.
• "Why did you give me flowers?" An Jingxi asked directly.
• "Did I not explain clearly, or did you not understand?" Cold Night said, taking a sip of his coffee, his sexy Adam's apple swallowing the liquid, giving rise to infinite imagination.
• An Jingxi unconsciously swallowed her saliva, forcing herself to look away, secretly despising herself for being captivated by lust. "What do you mean?"
• "A fair lady and a gentleman are a good match. I am pursuing you. Don't you understand?" Cold Night's straightforward answer left An Jingxi at a loss for words.
• And at this moment, as Cold Night looked at her expression, it was as if he was looking at a child in kindergarten. It wasn't very hurtful, but it was extremely insulting!
• "Mr. Cold..."
• "Call me Cold Night. 'Mr. Cold' sounds too formal," Cold Night interrupted An Jingxi as soon as she spoke.
• "No, Mr. Cold..." An Jingxi felt that Cold Night was being a bit too familiar. Were they that close?
• "Call me Cold Night, or else I'll leave..." Cold Night put down his coffee cup and said seriously.
• Seeing Cold Night's insistence, An Jingxi had no choice but to comply. "Cold Night, a few days ago, I was still designing engagement jewelry for you and your fiancée, right?"
• "That's right."
• "So, if you say you like me now, how much credibility do you think that has? And don't you think it's too hasty?" An Jingxi expressed her thoughts seriously. This kind of liking was too frivolous for her.
• "Yan Xin and I only have a working relationship." Cold Night took a sip of his coffee and smiled.
• "Huh? You don't like each other?" An Jingxi was a little confused.
• "In other words, we are both being forced into marriage by our families, so we decided to have a fake engagement to give ourselves some peace. It's not about liking each other." Cold Night explained the whole situation in just a few words.
• "Okay, let's not talk about that. In my impression, we've only met once, right? And we haven't had much communication." An Jingxi said, feeling a bit thirsty. She took a sip of juice and continued, "Please don't tell me it's love at first sight. All love at first sight is based on appearance."
• "You forgot, we've met more than once." At this moment, Cold Night hummed in his heart, not only have we met, but we've also slept together on the same bed.
• "Huh?" She couldn't remember, but now was not the time to think about that.
• "I hope you can understand that I'm not interested in you, and your current behavior is causing me a lot of trouble."
• Cold Night wasn't angry at being rejected like this. Instead, he silently nodded in agreement. Not bad, the woman he had set his eyes on was indeed different from other ordinary women.
• "It's alright, I'm just interested in you. And my actions don't bother me at all, so it's fine as long as I like it." In the eyes of a lover, Cold Night found An Jingxi more pleasing the more he looked at her.
• An Jingxi felt a shiver down her spine as Cold Night stared at her. "Can you tell me what you like about me? Can't I change for the better?"
• "I like everything about you, but what I like the most is that you're alive."
• An Jingxi: ...
• How was she supposed to respond to that? She couldn't just stop living.
• "But I don't like you!" An Jingxi rubbed her forehead. Was this the CEO of the Cold Corporation? He was clearly just a ruffian!
• "It's okay, we have plenty of time ahead of us." Cold Night had a look of certainty.
• "I've made myself clear. If there's nothing else in the company, I'll leave now. I hope you can think it through." An Jingxi didn't want to continue the conversation with him. It seemed like he wouldn't listen.
• Before Cold Night could respond, An Jingxi stood up and tried to leave.
• "Wait... take this." Cold Night gestured for her to take the flowers on the table.
• Seeing his gesture, An Jingxi hesitated for a moment but still took the flowers.
• Cold Night gazed at the now vacant seat in front of him for a moment before breaking into a smile and pulling out his phone to type a quick message.
• As soon as An Jingxi settled back into her office chair, she heard her phone emit a beep.
• It was a message from an unfamiliar number: "I comprehend everything you said. Time will validate my honesty. I won't give up - Cold Night."
• An Jingxi read the message signed by Cold Night and couldn't help but utter a poetic phrase.
• Word would undoubtedly spread throughout the office now.
• "Knock knock."
• Just as she pondered over this, Tang Cheng knocked on the office door, holding a file in her arms. "General Manager An, there's a document that requires your approval."
• An Jingxi carefully perused it and affixed her signature. "Alright."
• Tang Cheng took the document and hesitated for a moment before speaking, "General Manager An, may I ask you a question?"
• "I know what you want to inquire about. You want to know about my relationship with Mr. Cold, correct? Is that it?"
• Tang Cheng realized she had been seen through and her face turned red. She quickly explained.
