"Because I want to know what tricks they're up to!" Xia Sanghuan replied righteously.
Facts proved that her initial purpose was indeed this, and she didn't even regard this "Flower Goddess Conference" as a competition.
But the moment she saw Shen Ruoyan, a strange sense of competitiveness was stirred up in her heart.
However, this sense of competitiveness only lasted for a very short time. After sizing up the woman, she couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.
The second young lady of the Shen family, who seemed so high and mighty, was nothing more than a puppet doll propped up by a gorgeous appearance.
No wonder she needed to get engaged to Leng Chuanjin to consolidate her position in the Shen family.
Otherwise, who would recognize a "good-for-nothing" as the head of the family?
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
Facing the man's repeated questions, this answer sounded a bit guilty.
Now that he had achieved the desired effect, he didn't continue to make things difficult for her.
"By the way," the girl recalled the scene where Shen Ruoyan was taken away by the police this afternoon.
"Why was the reason for the police to arrest Shen Ruoyan poisoning?"
"Because this plant exhibition was held by the company under Shen Ruoyan's name," the man said as he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
There was still the milk he had heated for the girl.
"Of course, the organizer is responsible for any problems," he said.
The girl followed him.
"But there were no accidents at the plant exhibition..." Before she could finish this sentence, Xia Sanghuan remembered the little girl who was giving out poppies to the tourists everywhere in the first exhibition hall.
Although the poppy is cultivated as an ornamental flower because of its gorgeous appearance, its sap is poisonous.
If it just touches the skin, it's not a big deal.
But if the sap is accidentally inhaled into the body, the consequences will be unimaginable.
No matter how beautiful the poppy is, it's still a plant of the poppy family. If it's accidentally eaten, the nervous system will suffer irreversible damage.
"What about that little girl who was giving out flowers everywhere?"
"She was also taken away." The man poured the heated milk from the small pot into a cup.
"After the police's inspection, the stems of those poppies were deliberately smeared with sap."
"And because it's very difficult to clean, some tourists accidentally ate the poppy sap while dining in the restaurant."
He picked up two cups of milk and turned around.
"If it weren't for your reminder, I might have been one of the people who accidentally ate it."
Actually, he wouldn't have.
Not to mention his high level of vigilance, he wasn't interested in these flowers at all.
The only reason he wanted to accept the poppy from the little girl today was to give it to Xia Sanghuan.
But he would never miss any opportunity to praise his little girlfriend.
The girl smiled as he expected.
"Let's go. You've had a hard day today. You should have a good rest tonight."
The two walked upstairs and entered Xia Sanghuan's room as usual.
"Drink the milk and then leave," she said warily, giving him a look.
"Okay," the man said with a helpless smile.
"I want to announce our relationship to the public," Leng Chuanjin suddenly said seriously before leaving.
"Why?" The girl was taken aback.
"There's no need for that. After all, we're just a couple."
"Of course there is," the man said unexpectedly seriously about this matter.
"I don't want today's incident to happen again."
He raised his hand and gently stroked her face, his eyes filled with a touch of heartache.
"I want the whole world to know that the person I like is you. Only you are qualified to be the young mistress of the Leng family."
The dim yellow light added a touch of indescribable tenderness to his eyes, and his pupils were shining with a light called determination.
The girl's heart skipped a beat.
Lying in bed at night, Xia Sanghuan recalled what had happened today.
It wasn't until she had completely calmed down that she realized there was a problem she had always overlooked.
What was the relationship between Shen Ruoyan and the little girl who gave out flowers?
Why did she react so strongly when she was taken away?
If her reaction was faked, she could go and compete with Sister Youqing for this year's Oscar for Best Actress.
So, was Shen Ruoyan really unaware of the poppy incident?
But why didn't Shen Siyuan plead for her? Or why didn't she just bring that little girl to confront the police?
Thinking of this, the girl's eyes darkened.
Was there another force interfering in the plant exhibition?
Although the possibility was small, she always wondered if it had something to do with her master.
She couldn't be blamed for being too sensitive. The information she had learned from her master's relics recently had been constantly telling her that her master hadn't had a good life.
And he might have been under someone's control all the time.
This realization sometimes made her wake up suddenly from a nightmare in the middle of the night.
Whenever this happened, Leng Chuanjin would hold her in his arms, gently stroke her back, and then kiss her forehead.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but miss him.
Obviously, there were only a few rooms between them.
But anyway, just to be on the safe side, she had to ask her second brother about this in detail tomorrow.
With such worries in mind, she gradually fell asleep.
The next day, she got up early as usual. After a simple wash, she went downstairs to have breakfast.
Leng Chuanjin was already sitting at the dining table.
"Here?" The man took two slices of toast at a suitable temperature from the toaster beside him and skillfully spread jam on them for her.
Looking at the delicious-looking sausages on the plate, the girl had no appetite to eat.
Seeing that she seemed to have no appetite, the man reached out and took away her plate, replacing it with his own plate on which the sausages had been cut into small, bite-sized pieces.
"What, don't you like it?" He handed over the orange juice and toast.
"No," the girl took them and took a bite of the sweet toast.
"Second brother, what's the relationship between that little girl who gave out flowers and Shen Ruoyan?"
"Didn't I tell you to call me by my name?" The man reached out and wiped the jam from the girl's mouth with a tissue.
"At present, it's not clear. But Shen Ruoyan insists that she has nothing to do with that little girl."
"What did the little girl say?" The girl picked up a sausage and put it into her mouth.
"The little girl was so scared that she couldn't say a word," the man's eyes were dark and unclear.
"The police wanted to contact her parents, but found that all the people related to her by blood were currently out of contact."
Hearing this, the girl's hand paused.
"Then wasn't she used by someone?"
"Judging from the current situation, it seems so."
"Well..." Before she could finish this sentence, Leng Chuanjin stuffed a fried egg into her mouth.
"Didn't we agree not to discuss business during the meal? Eat first. We'll talk about any problems after you've finished eating."
After saying that, he lowered his head and ignored the girl's inquiring look.
