197: I'll buy it!
Kuang Chenghai couldn't forget.
When he was 'besieged' that day, his ears were filled with piercing voices like "What's going on?!" "Who is that?!" "Old Kuang, say something!", his head was about to explode, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Finally, Kuang Chenghai struggled to break free, climbed into his car, and just as he was about to close the door, a bottle of mineral water was thrown into his arms.
Kuang Chenghai: "?" Do you guys have to be so dramatic?!
Yes, they had to! CEO Chu's gossip was something they wouldn't even dare to imagine!
And this guy, Kuang Chenghai, clearly knew something, but he wouldn't say!
As for the two special assistants a few steps away, they definitely knew too.
But Sun Binghe lifted an eyelid: "Hmm?"
Everyone scattered like birds and beasts.
Shen Lian steadily carried Chu Yilan, overtaking a small car. The car body tilted slightly then returned to normal. In his previous life, Shen Lian played hard with this, cornering and drifting, easily performing some difficult moves. But now, with his beloved, and valuing his life, he drove very carefully and cautiously.
The biting cold wind was truly sharp, but with helmets protecting their heads, their bodies felt scorching hot.
Shen Lian hadn't forgotten! The unstoppable excitement in Chu Yilan's heart, his chest pressed tightly against Shen Lian's back, he really wanted to say something, but it wasn't convenient.
The motorcycle sped against the wind and rain. Men, to some extent, all liked this feeling. When the motorcycle stopped, Chu Yilan even felt it wasn't exhilarating enough.
If this was a birthday present, it was pretty good... CEO Chu turned around and then saw a private jet on the open field not far away.
Shen Lian parked the car, got off, took off his helmet, ran his fingers through his hair, and said with a smile, "Let's go."
Chu Yilan also took off his helmet, then looked over: "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when we get there," Shen Lian raised an eyebrow slightly.
Chu Yilan couldn't say it, but Shen Lian's gesture made him want to kiss him a little.
Chu Yilan would follow wherever Shen Lian said, he was just curious: "Whose private jet is it?"
"Mine."
"Rented?"
"Bought."
Chu Yilan's eyes widened slightly: "Are you not living anymore?"
"What kind of talk is that?" Shen Lian chuckled.
Actually, this plane was nothing compared to Chu Yilan's private assets, but for Shen Lian, it required continuous variety shows, advertisements, and non-stop filming to accumulate little by little. If Chu Yilan bought it for Shen Lian, it would certainly be larger, more comfortable, exquisite, and luxurious, but if Shen Lian paid for it, Chu Yilan would feel the pinch.
"Let's go," Shen Lian took Chu Yilan's hand: "Off we go."
"This motorcycle..."
"It has a lock and GPS. Young Master Feng will send someone to collect it later."
Chu Yilan smiled.
Besides a pilot, there was also a familiar face on the plane.
Nie Sheng greeted, "Hello, CEO Chu." He paused, "Happy birthday."
The pilot was hired by Shen Lian, and hearing this, his expression showed a slight surprise, then he followed with a heartfelt blessing: "Happy birthday!"
Chu Yilan was somewhat unfamiliar with this situation and replied a little unnaturally, "Thank you."
Shen Lian pulled Chu Yilan to the back.
Although this plane was small, it was fully equipped, and most importantly, its safety performance was excellent, which indeed squeezed Shen Lian's wallet almost dry.
Actually, everything could be rented. Just a word in the group, Feng Yueshan, Xu Jingge, Zhou Yuanlin, none of them lacked anything and could immediately offer help. But in Shen Lian's opinion, that wouldn't do. If all the big items for his beloved's birthday were borrowed, what kind of man would he be?
So Shen Lian didn't even blink when he swiped his card to pay.
This year, he had earned a lot of money for Star Opening and also enriched his own savings. When he first expressed his affection for Chu Yilan, Shen Lian had said that if he didn't have money to buy things now, he would earn money to make up for it later.
Now, it was considered a small step towards that goal.
As for when it would be complete, Shen Lian couldn't imagine, because no matter what he gave Chu Yilan, he always felt it wasn't enough.
Shen Lian adjusted the surrounding temperature and took a hot towel to wipe Chu Yilan's neck.
"Ah, it's my fault. I didn't notify you in advance. I should have made you wear thicker clothes. After being in the cold wind for so long, don't get 'old cold legs'."
Chu Yilan tilted his neck slightly, a certain emotion in the depths of his eyes twinkling like stars: "Say something good. Besides, if you had notified me in advance, what kind of surprise would it be?"
Shen Lian chuckled mischievously.
The flight was three and a half hours. Unlike Qudu, Yuncheng on the other side had pleasant temperatures and was full of flowers. As soon as they got off the plane, they felt a wave of heat.
A private car was waiting at the exit. Without delay, Shen Lian pulled Chu Yilan and left, with Nie Sheng as the driver.
"If you're hot, I'll buy you some floral shorts at a roadside stall later? I heard they're a specialty here."
Chu Yilan firmly refused: "No!"
Logically speaking, they should be tired from the journey, but neither of them felt sleepy.
Chu Yilan occasionally looked out the window, giving the impression that he wanted to remember something firmly.
The car gradually moved away from the crowd, heading towards the suburbs. Outside, green fields stretched forward, with one or two small wooden houses at the end.
Is Shen Lian buying me an estate? Chu Yilan guessed.
That's good, for retirement later.
The sun at this moment seemed a little tired, its light changing from dazzling to golden-red, slowly flowing into the earth, and a sense of tranquility arose spontaneously.
Shen Lian had been talking to Chu Yilan the whole time, and the man listened attentively, staring at his face without concealment.
Suddenly, Shen Lian smiled very gently. If Chu Yilan were to describe it, he would never forget it in his life, as if the most genuine embrace in heaven and earth was contained within it, capable of drowning a person.
Shen Lian's appearance made Chu Yilan unable to tolerate even a trace of dullness or decay anymore.
Because he looked up and found himself standing in the light, with nowhere to hide.
"Yilan," Shen Lian said softly: "Do you still remember my promise?"
He said: "Look back."
Chu Yilan's heart stirred, and he suddenly turned his head to see a large expanse of red roses on the hillside behind the window, swaying gently in the wind.
Roses never wither.
"Let's go take a look," Shen Lian's voice, laced with a smile, came from behind.
Haha, back then I wished to give a large expanse, an entire hillside, and it's somewhat realized now.
"You..." Chu Yilan thought his emotions were stable, but as soon as he spoke, his throat suddenly felt dry. He took a deep breath before regaining his composure: "Did you buy this too?"
"Of course!" Shen Lian said: "Planting this area takes two weeks in advance."
On the day Sun Binghe reminded him, Shen Lian verbally agreed but had already taken action, after all, it was a surprise.
Chu Yilan: "Is the land yours?"
Shen Lian: "...Not exactly."
This area was about to be developed and was quite expensive. However, with Shen Lian's money, they gave him two weeks to create romance. Once the roses withered, they would have to plant purple hydrangeas as required.
"I'll buy it," Chu Yilan said, pushing the door open, his voice suddenly clear: "I'll buy it!"
Shen Lian was stunned.
Chu Yilan walked through the rose garden, his fingertips lightly brushing over the branches and leaves. The gardener not far away looked up at him, seemingly surprised that a man would like red roses.
Chu Yilan loved them very much!
