Chapter 415 – @[Have Fang JunRong and Jiang DeXian started dating yet] (3)

Fang JunRong nodded and accepted his invitation. They went over to a family cuisine place recommended by Zhang ZhiSu.

Each dish was very delicate and could be finished in two bites. They looked like art. They were tasty too, though not exactly what Fang JunRong normally enjoyed. It wasn’t too bad to try something different occasionally.

The two returned to the tea shop to continue their discussion after they had lunch.

By 4 PM, they had reached agreements on most of the conditions except for one portion that needed extra attention.

It was time for Fang JunRong to take off. She planned to go home for dinner tonight. Zhong Yi’s grandmother was going to make one of her favorite dishes tonight.

“Wait a second,” said Zhang ZhiSu to her.

Fang JunRong looked at him, perplexed. Regardless, she was relatively free today and had some extra time to wait around. Ten minutes later, someone knocked on their door. Fang JunRong opened up the door and saw a bouquet of lilies.

“This is for Ms. Fang JunRong. Please sign for them.”

Fang JunRong turned to look at Zhang ZhiSu. “This is from you, right?”

Zhang ZhiSu nodded.

After Fang JunRong had signed for them and held the flowers against her chest, she joked, “You are not thinking about courting me, are you?”

Zhang ZhiSu said casually, “You are a very outstanding woman.”

Fang JunRong shook her head. “You are not courting me because you like me. You are only doing so because you feel that I will make a suitable matriarch for the Zhang family?” She paused then said, “Was this the reason that you’ve changed the way you dress? Because you think that I prefer men in suits?”

Zhang ZhiSu said, “I appreciate you a lot and I guess I like you. There is nobody else that I like more than you.”

Fang JunRong was very nice. Let it be herself or her moral standard. She had her own bottom line that she abided by and she followed the principles of live and let live.

That was what he liked most about her. If he was to choose a wife, she was a very good candidate. He had just noticed yesterday that he wasn’t the only one who thought that and many liked her. Which was why he was courting her today.

Fang JunRong looked at the serious-looking Zhang ZhiSu and sighed. “I trust that what you said is true but like is like. It’s not the same as love.”

Noticing that Zhang ZhiSu was about to say something else, she stopped him with a gesture. “I don’t need money or status right now. I need something real. You are the patriarch of the Zhang family and you must always put the Zhang family interest above everything else. I don’t think that you will be able to give me what I want.”

She could earn her own money and fight for her own romance.

“You appreciate me but that does not mean that you love me. For example, the flowers that you bought me are very pretty but they’re not the kind that I like.”

Fang JunRong much prefered tulips to lilies.

Zhang ZhiSu was taken aback a little. “So you like Jiang DeXian more?”

Fang JunRong nodded. It was just because he had shown her his heart in its purest form but also that both of them shared the same experiences. Naturally, she couldn’t possibly tell Zhang ZhiSu the latter.

“You are right. I can’t do as much as he could,” said Zhang ZhiSu, curving his lips a little. “He’s a lucky man.”

Zhang ZhiSu was quite gentlemanly when it came to this. Perhaps, Fang JunRong was right after all and that his appreciation and fondness for her were far from love.

“Thank you. The lilies are very pretty.”

Fang JunRong turned and left after she said that to him.

Even though she had declined Zhang ZhiSu’s romantic approach, that did not affect their cooperation. She only accepted the lilies to thank him for his fondness toward her.

When she returned home, she saw a big bouquet of fresh tulips on the dining table and its faint fragrance surrounded her.

She didn’t need to see to know who they were from.

Looking at the flowers, Fang JunRong’s lips curved upward and she posted a Weibo message.
