Chapter 68 Mysterious Bouquet
Chapter 68 Mysterious Bouquet
Su Yingxue walked quickly toward Tan Zhengchu's car key cabinet, her eyes scanning the rows of exquisite keys.
These keys gleamed with a metallic sheen under the light, each representing a luxury car.
Her fingers hovered between the keys before finally grasping one, a confident smile playing on her lips.
"This is it," Su Yingxue said softly, then walked briskly towards the car.
Her high heels clicked against the floor, making a crisp "tap-tap" sound that echoed in the empty corridor.
The garage was filled with a faint smell of engine oil and leather.
Su Yingxue pressed the button on the key, a bright light flashed, and the headlights of a luxury car turned on.
She opened the car door and gracefully got into the driver's seat.
Then, she carefully picked up the mysterious bouquet placed to the side and gently placed it on the passenger seat, a hint of solemnity in her eyes.
This bouquet of flowers is like a puzzle, hiding unknown information, and she knows she can't let her guard down.
"No matter who sent it, I'm going to dig out the secrets behind you." Su Yingxue looked at the bouquet and thought to herself.
She started the car, and the engine emitted a deep roar.
The car slowly drove out of the garage and blended into the bustling city traffic.
During the drive, Su Yingxue's gaze kept unconsciously drifting towards the bouquet of flowers.
The vibrant flowers seemed to possess a magical power, drawing her attention.
Every time she looked at it, blurry images would flash through Su Yingxue's mind, like distant memories trying to break through the fog.
Those images flashed by so quickly that they were impossible for her to grasp.
"What's so special about this flower? Why does it seem so familiar?" Su Yingxue frowned, her mind filled with doubt.
However, she quickly adjusted her mindset, "Forget it, I'll stop thinking about it now. Once I find the person who sent the flowers, everything will become clear. Right now, I need to go and meet up with Xinyi and Qing'er."
Su Yingxue parked the car steadily in the underground parking garage of Pengcheng MixC.
This is the most luxurious shopping mall in Pengcheng City.
After turning off the engine, she picked up the bouquet and headed towards the elevator.
As soon as I stepped into the elevator, the rich and alluring fragrance of the bouquet filled the small space.
"Wow, these flowers smell so good!" a young girl exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with delight.
“Yes, what kind of flower is this? I’ve never smelled such a lovely fragrance before.” A woman next to her chimed in, her eyes fixed on the bouquet.
Su Yingxue was slightly taken aback, then answered calmly, "King Protea."
She was somewhat surprised when she said it.
Strange, how can I be so sure this is a King Protea? It's as if the name just popped out of the depths of my memory.
"King Protea? What a majestic name! This flower is absolutely gorgeous, like it stepped right out of a painting." Everyone exclaimed in amazement, their eyes filled with admiration and envy for the bouquet.
The elevator slowly ascended, and when it reached the sixth floor, Su Yingxue stepped out of the elevator carrying flowers.
She could feel the people behind her still craning their necks, greedily inhaling the lingering fragrance of the flowers, as if they were addicted to it.
As soon as Su Yingxue entered the coffee shop, she saw Yang Xinyi and Chu Qing'er sitting by the window.
Yang Xinyi is tall and has a lively personality, with long hair casually draped over her shoulders.
Chu Qing'er, on the other hand, is gentle and charming, with tenderness in her eyes.
"Yingxue, you've finally arrived!" Yang Xinyi jumped up excitedly, like a joyful little bird.
Her gaze was immediately drawn to the flowers in Su Yingxue's arms, and her eyes widened. "Wow, these flowers are so beautiful! I've never seen such beautiful flowers before."
Chu Qing'er also came over with a gentle smile on her face: "Yingxue, you're here. I specially made dumplings today, please try them, this is my specialty."
As she spoke, she took out an exquisite lunchbox from her bag and handed it to Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue smiled as she took the lunchbox: "Qing'er, you're so kind. You know I love dumplings the most, and you always think of me whenever there's something delicious to eat."
The three of them sat down by the window, and the conversation quickly returned to the bouquet of flowers.
“Yingxue, these flowers are really special. I’ve never seen this type of flower before.” Yang Xinyi said as she leaned closer to examine the bouquet, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.
"Me too, I feel this flower has a mysterious quality." Chu Qing'er tilted her head slightly and looked at the bouquet.
Su Yingxue took out her phone and typed "Noble Emperor Flower" into the search engine.
She frowned, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes: "Strange, there are no records of this noble imperial flower in Pengcheng City online. Where did this flower come from?"
Chu Qing'er looked at Su Yingxue with concern in her eyes: "Yingxue, why are you suddenly so interested in these flowers? You seem to have something on your mind."
Su Yingxue hesitated for a moment, and some bad thoughts flashed through her mind.
She didn't want her two best friends to be involved in any potential danger.
So she smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just thought the flowers were pretty and was curious. You don't need to worry about it, it'll only cause trouble."
Yang Xinyi suddenly suggested excitedly, "Yingxue, we haven't gone shopping in a long time, let's have a good shopping trip today!"
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation, like a child who had just thought of a new toy.
Su Yingxue nodded in agreement: "Okay, how do you want to play?"
Chu Qing'er blinked and gave a mischievous smile: "Hehe, let's go on a shopping spree today!"
Su Yingxue laughed and said, "Sure, you guys buy whatever you want, I'll pay!"
After saying that, she ran to the front desk to take out her black gold card, and then pulled Su Yingxue and Chu Qing'er into the mall.
The three embarked on a shopping spree at MixC Mall.
Because of Su Yingxue's special status, she possesses the only black gold card in Pengcheng City, with a spending limit of over ten million yuan.
This card is essentially a universal pass in major shopping malls, allowing you to move freely between stores.
At each stop, the shop assistants warmly welcomed them, offering them a wide variety of goods to choose from, all free of charge.
While strolling around, Yang Xinyi suddenly joked, "Yingxue, let me give you a bouquet of flowers, they're even prettier than yours!"
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue's face immediately darkened.
She recalled the unease brought on by the mysterious flower, and a strange restlessness welled up inside her.
She snatched Yang Xinyi's phone and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "Don't mention men to me, and don't mention flowers to me!"
Yang Xinyi and Chu Qing'er were taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter.
Yang Xinyi said with a smile, "Yingxue, we love your strong side. That's what makes you a good sister!"
Chu Qing'er nodded in agreement, her eyes full of smiles.
The three people's laughter echoed in the corridors of MixC, temporarily dispelling the gloom brought by the mysterious flower.
