Sweet Beauty

Chapter 909: His Love Hadn’t Even Begun, Yet It Ended Just Like That

This was the first time in his life that Han Cihui felt like this. He was very disappointed and sad. Seeing the flowers, he didn’t know what to feel. He only felt a sudden urge to take them home.         

    

He pulled the worker back and politely asked, “Are all these flowers to be thrown away?”     

“Yes!” The worker replied impatiently.     

“I want to buy them. I want all the flowers here.”     

The worker pointed to a man standing in the doorway. “He’s the new owner of this shop. Ask him if he is selling them.”     

“Thank you.” Han Cihui thanked him and walked towards the man. The man was busy instructing the workers to remove the items.     

Han Cihui took a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the man. “Brother, are you selling these flowers?”     

The man looked at the cigarette Han Cihui held out to him and paused for a moment. He took it and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to touch the lighter, Han Cihui had already lit it and placed it in front of him.     

The man smiled. He lit a cigarette with Han Cihui’s lighter and took a deep breath. He looked at Han Cihui from the corner of his eye and smiled. “Do you want to buy these flowers?”     

“Yes.” Han Cihui nodded. He took out a cigarette and lit it for himself. He took a deep breath and blew out a ring of smoke. Under the smoke, he smiled bitterly. “My mother likes flowers. I used to come to this shop to buy her flowers. Unfortunately, those flowers were going to be thrown away. You can sell them to me.”     

“Okay.” The man was easy to talk to. Besides, Han Cihui didn’t look like an ordinary person. He smiled and said, “Well, you don’t have to buy them. I’ll give them to you for free as a friend.”     

Even if Han Cihui didn’t want to buy these flowers, the man would throw them away. Since Han Cihui wanted them, the man didn’t have to go through so much trouble. He would just put the flowers in Han Cihui’s car and the matter would be settled.     

Han Cihui took a cigarette out of his mouth and blew out a ring of smoke. He thanked him. “Thank you.”     

After saying that, he took out his wallet and handed the man his last spare business card. “This is my business card. If you need anything in the future, call me. I’ll do my best to help you.”     

The man’s eyes lit up when he saw the card. The first time he saw Han Cihui, he already felt that Han Cihui was no ordinary person. He took the card and looked at Han Cihui’s name and position. He was so surprised that his whole face was smiling. “Aiya, what a lucky day for me to meet the young master of the Han Family. Director Han, nice to meet you.”     

Han Cihui smiled indifferently. He saw the expression on the man’s face and asked in a timely manner. “I wonder if you could give me the phone number of the previous owner?”     

No matter what kind of business deal it was, the buyer and the seller would have each other’s contact information. After all, the matter of selling the shop couldn’t be completed in one day. Han Cihui was quite sure that this man must have the girl’s phone number.     

Of course, after the man heard Han Cihui’s words, he laughed. “Young Master Han, don’t tell me you like that girl?”     

Han Cihui smiled without saying anything, waiting for his answer.     

“All right, since we’re friends, I’ll give you her phone number. But if she asks, don’t say I gave you the number. It’s not very noble to give out her private information to a stranger.” As the man spoke, he pulled out his cell phone.     

Han Cihui also quickly took out his phone. “Don’t worry. I won’t betray you.”     

“Here,” the man searched for the girl’s number and showed it to Han Cihui.     

Han Cihui seriously wrote down the number. Then he took a deep breath as if he was finally relieved.     

The man looked at him and kindly reminded him. “There’s something you might not know. The girl has a boyfriend. Her boyfriend is studying here. She’s selling this shop for her boyfriend. If you’re going to pursue her, I’d advise you not to get your hopes up.”     

“Boyfriend?” Han Cihui’s hand, which was jolting down the number, suddenly stopped. He stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning. Thinking of the girl’s smiling face, he suddenly understood. The sweetness of her smile actually came from….her love for another man…     

No wonder he felt like honey flowing into his heart when he saw her smile.         

    

The man stared at Han Cihui with pity. He patted him on the shoulder with a comforting smile. “It’s normal for a girl her age to have a boyfriend. Young Master Han, don’t be sad.”     

Han Cihui wasn’t sad. He just felt very disappointed and lonely. It was as if a part of his heart was missing. It was a very uncomfortable feeling.     

He smiled and put the phone into his pocket. The man pointed to the flowers that had been removed. “Do you still want these flowers?”     

“Yes.” Han Cihui closed his eyes in frustration. “Since the owner doesn’t want them, I’ll take them.”     

“All right.” The man came out and clapped his hands at the workers. “Give all these flowers to this man. Do what he says.”     

Han Cihui returned to the villa with a car full of flowers. It was winter. The flowers can’t stand the cold wind. When the cold wind shook the petals, these flowers looked like they were dying. Just like his heart.     

Han Cihui sighed and weakly said to the servant, “Put them in the greenhouse and take good care of them.”     

His love hadn’t even begun, yet it ended just like that. It couldn’t even be compared to these flowers. The flowers were in the girl’s care and had lived for a long time, but his love… It was extinguished and couldn’t be revived.     

Zhang Xiuying came out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit and saw Han Cihui coming back. She smiled and said, “Cihui, why did you come back so early today? Come, let’s eat some fruit.”     

“I’m not hungry.” He went upstairs.     

“Aish, this kid! What’s wrong with him?” Seeing Han Cihui’s 360 degrees change, Zhang Xiuying couldn’t help but sigh.     

Lin Xiu pulled Zhang Xiuying to sit and whispered, “I don’t think Cihui is in the right mind today. When he just came in, his expression was so bad. Could he be sick?”     

Tian Qihua nodded. “I saw it too.”     

Liang Zixuan came down from the upper floor with her bulging stomach. Hearing their words, she smiled softly and sat down to eat the fruits.     

When Tian Qihua saw her smile, she asked her in surprise. “Zixuan, what are you smiling about?”     

“Huh?” Liang Zixuan looked up from chewing the fruit. She asked incoherently, “Who’s smiling? I wasn’t smiling.”     

“You did!” Lin Xiu nodded firmly. “I saw you smile just now.”     

Zhang Xiuying pushed the fruit plate into Liang Zixuan’s hand and said anxiously, “Zixuan, do you know something?”
