Chapter 383: Who is Lin Feng After All?
Chapter 383: Who is Lin Feng After All?
Ding Wan’er also found it very strange. The situation with flower deliveries hadn’t occurred for over a year, since she had already refused countless people in the first two years, and the whole of Tianhai knew about it. So why would someone send flowers at this time today? What was going on?
Once all the flower baskets had been arranged, there were exactly ten of them, symbolizing perfection. Seeing this, everyone present was exceedingly baffled. Who could have sent them? Looking at the ten huge baskets of roses, they all felt somewhat speechless. It wasn’t about whether it cost a lot or a little to do this, but no one had thought of sending roses in baskets over a meter in diameter, and to send as many as ten of them at that—it really was a bit too extravagant!
While everyone was still marveling, Huang Shi, dressed in a gray suit, which made him look very formal and proper, walked in from outside. Then, in front of everyone, he approached Ding Wan’er and took out a box from his pocket with calm composure. Upon opening it, it was a very beautiful pearl necklace, which he handed to Ding Wan’er.
Wow! Isn’t that the young master of the Huang Group?
How did Huang Shi end up here?
Huang Shi is giving Ding Wan’er a birthday gift?
...
As soon as Huang Shi appeared, many people recognized him immediately—he was the well-known elder young master of Tianhai’s formidable Huang Group. What shocked everyone, however, was why he’d appeared at Ding Wan’er’s birthday party, and so openly at that, with both flower baskets and gifts. Wasn’t this asking for embarrassment? Ding Wan’er had already turned down gifts from many of Tianhai’s eligible bachelors. It wasn’t just gifts; no one even sent flowers anymore, because everyone in Tianhai knew that Ding Wan’er simply did not accept any gifts.
Knowing the current situation, why would Huang Shi still stubbornly insist on giving a gift? Wasn’t he afraid of being rejected by Ding Wan’er again? In front of so many people, if the grand young master of the Huang Group’s gift was turned down, it would certainly become the talk of the town.
However, Huang Shi was also one of Tianhai’s top-tier bachelors. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if he could get together with Ding Wan’er. Additionally, Huang Shi didn’t have any negative scandals or the like. Maybe he had really come prepared this time, otherwise he wouldn’t have confidently sent the flower baskets, and he even had a gift for Ding Wan’er in his hand. All these unusual actions were making everyone very curious. When did Huang Shi start pursuing Ding Wan’er? How come no one had heard any news about such a significant matter?
"Miss Ding, both the flowers and this necklace are from my boss, Lin Feng, who sent me to deliver them first. He will arrive shortly. I’m going to the back to help out for now." Then, without waiting for a response from the stunned Ding Wan’er, Huang Shi stuffed the box containing the pearl necklace into her hands. Before Ding Wan’er could come out of her daze, he promptly went to the back to assist, leaving her standing there, startled.
Two days earlier, when Ding Wan’er had invited Lin Feng to her birthday party, Huang Shi had been watching their interactions from the side. He immediately felt he should seize the moment to help his boss pursue Tianhai City’s famous beauty principal, as it was clear from her demeanor that Ding Wan’er was definitely interested in Lin Feng. And Lin Feng’s attitude towards her was very positive too; otherwise, he wouldn’t have so readily agreed to attend the birthday party. In this case, as a loyal subordinate, he felt obliged to help his boss make a good impression in his pursuit of Ding Wan’er.
Therefore, in the past two days, Huang Shi had gathered many female friends for advice, without revealing that Ding Wan’er was their main subject. He merely described Ding Wan’er’s appearance and temperament. After a group discussion, they decided on the current approach. According to those women, sending flowers might be commonplace, but sending them in a bundle was no longer novel. However, if one were to send flowers in large baskets, especially ten at once, that would be completely different. It wasn’t a matter of cost, but rather the stunning visual impact that would prevent the flowers from being discarded.
Further, Ding Wan’er had very fair skin, so Huang Shi had originally thought of giving her a diamond necklace. But the girls advised against it, saying that diamonds on fair skin would look too lavish and didn’t suit Ding Wan’er’s temperament. After further discussion, they decided to purchase a top-quality pearl necklace, which would be fitting for Ding Wan’er’s classical beauty.
In short, Huang Shi had exhausted much brainpower over the past two days solely to support his boss in pursuing Ding Wan’er, far more than he ever had when chasing a woman himself.
Seeing the reaction of everyone on the scene, Huang Shi knew he had achieved his objective, so he quickly went to the back to help out.
Huang Shi is Lin Feng’s subordinate? Ding Wan’er couldn’t believe such a thing was true. She knew Huang Shi, the Crown Prince of the Huang Group, as she had seen him at many banquets before. When she had invited Lin Feng last time, she had noticed Huang Shi around Lin Feng, and though it struck her as odd that he was with Lin Feng, she was too engrossed in talking to Lin Feng to pay him any mind. She never imagined that he could actually be Lin Feng’s subordinate... The Crown Prince of the formidable Huang Group working as a subordinate for Lin Feng, what was going on?
Moreover, he also brought Lin Feng’s gift today, which was too extravagant. Based on her understanding of Lin Feng, he wouldn’t possibly do such a thing. The ten large baskets of roses must have been sent by Huang Shi on his own initiative. However, the intense fragrance of the roses was indeed very pleasant to smell.
Ding Wan’er looked at the necklace in her hand and couldn’t tell if it truly was a gift from Lin Feng since she also liked the necklace very much. Such a modest gift could indeed be something Lin Feng would give her for her birthday. Could it really be that Lin Feng had Huang Shi deliver it?
Right, Lin Feng. Huang Shi said Lin Feng would be arriving soon, so she should definitely go and get ready, dress up nicely. With that thought, Ding Wan’er paid no further attention to the others, turned around, and went back inside her grandfather’s villa to prepare her clothes and makeup.
Is that Huang Shi?
I’m not seeing things, am I?
This is way too exaggerated. Who on earth is this person’s boss...
Who is Lin Feng?
...
Seeing such a situation, all the people present were stunned, not for any other reason but because Ding Wan’er had actually accepted these gifts. Everyone was immensely curious. It was commonly known throughout Tianhai City that Ding Wan’er had publicly rejected any man’s pursuit, akin to a goddess whom one could only admire from afar. How could she suddenly accept flowers and gifts from someone today? Who was this Lin Feng who sent the flowers, and how could he have such influence that Ding Wan’er didn’t just toss the flowers and gifts away...
Moreover, the person who delivered the gift was someone that nearly everyone recognized—the Crown Prince of the Huang Group, whose presence was more than just regular in the gossip magazines. His status meant that whatever Huang Shi did would catch the media’s attention, and so almost everyone was familiar with him. Yet even Huang Shi, boasting such a grand family background, claimed he was delivering the gift on behalf of his boss, which left everyone dumbfounded, as they couldn’t imagine who in Tianhai City would have the stature to have Huang Shi refer to him as his boss.
Now, everyone present couldn’t help but want to know who this Lin Feng, referred to as the boss by Huang Shi, actually was. That he could willingly make Huang Shi play the role of a subordinate, and even have Ding Wan’er keep the flowers and gifts—it was baffling. Who exactly was this Lin Feng, and how could he possibly have both Huang Shi and Ding Wan’er act this way...
Ding Wan’er’s parents, Ding Bo and Zhou Ping, were also surprised by this turn of events. They had always heard about their daughter rejecting others’ flowers, so what was going on now?
"Ping, do you know someone named Lin Feng? It seems like our daughter doesn’t reject him at all. Otherwise, why would she accept his gifts?" Wearing business casual but clean and crisp, with a round face and a pair of gold wire glasses on his nose, Ding Bo couldn’t hold back any longer and asked his wife what was going on. He had not heard of Ding Wan’er having a boyfriend, so what was this extravagant display all about?
"I don’t know either; I’ve never heard of him before. Who on earth is this Lin Feng?" Zhou Ping, dressed in a black suit, was very beautiful with a tall stature, a melon-seed face, and big eyes. Nearly 50 years old, she looked like she was in her thirties, causing everyone who saw her to misjudge her age. But right now, her heart was filled with questions. Her daughter had never been interested in boys, so why was she suddenly accepting flowers and gifts from someone today?
Both Ding Bo and Zhou Ping were baffled upon realizing that neither of them knew who Lin Feng was. Who exactly was he, and why had their daughter and father never mentioned him?
After their children returned to the country and took over the position of principal at Yingbo University from their father, they became incredibly busy, which caused Ding Bo and Zhou Ping to become anxious again about their daughter’s well-being since she would have no time to date if she was always working. Moreover, in the half-year since her return, she had rejected countless suitors and had even made a more audacious declaration, stating that she wouldn’t consider personal matters for a few years, causing all would-be suitors to back off.
Indeed, it was for this reason that both of them paid close attention to their daughter’s personal matters. Even though they were always doing business abroad, it didn’t stop them from seeking the best partner for her. In a chance meeting, they encountered the head of the Li Family from the four prominent families and his wife, with whom they hit it off in conversation. Unintentionally, the topic shifted to their children, and they felt that the other’s child was what they were looking for. Li Zerui of the Li Family did not have a girlfriend, and Ding Wan’er also didn’t have a boyfriend—it was a perfect match made in heaven.
