Lan Ruo said she wanted to enjoy flowers, but she actually wanted to go to the Peony Flower Festival in Qianshui City, which has always been highly touted.
Lin Xiaodong also heard about it, but he was not very interested, so he did not understand it in depth.
But since Lan Ruo said he was going, he still asked about the flower party.
The Peony Flower Fair is an event held every year in Qianshui City, and the venue is Peony Garden.
In fact, it was organized by private individuals to promote the precious peonies they cultivated and to increase consumption among wealthy people.
It is said that the person who established the peony garden was Duchen, a master flower grower. This person was very famous among the upper class of Qianshui City. He originally helped the rich build various gardens, but later he specialized in the peony business.
From Lan Ruo's description, it seemed that she would come every year, but this time there was no one to accompany her, so she took Lin Xiaodong with her.
However, because the Peony Garden occupies a very large area, it was not located in a downtown area, but in a relatively remote place. Even taking a horse-drawn carriage would have taken several hours.
Lan Ruo took Lin Xiaodong to the vicinity of the Peony Garden first, and found an inn where they were familiar with and stayed there, waiting for the Peony Flower Festival to begin.
"Boss, come to a room and ask for the best one."
The owner of the inn politely complimented Lan Ruo and suddenly saw that Lan Ruo was bringing a young man with him. His eyes were obviously very surprised, but he did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Miss Lan Ruo, are you two... just sharing a room?"
Lan Ruo said without hesitation: "Just drive if I ask you to, what are you talking about?"
The boss was startled and quickly lowered his head to register: "I know, I know."
Lin Xiaodong leaned into Lan Ruo's ear and whispered: "Miss Lan Ruo, I'm afraid it won't be good for us, a man and a woman, to live together in the same room, right?"
Lan Ruo joked: "Why, I'm not afraid, how can you, a grown man, be afraid?"
Lin Xiaodong was stunned for a moment and replied: "That's not true. I'm just worried about affecting your innocence."
"It's just a room. I'll prepare an extra bed and quilt for you at most. There's nothing to worry about."
The boss lowered his head to write while listening to the conversation between the two. To him, the conversation sounded almost like flirting.
He was extremely surprised when he heard this. The man who could make Lan Ruo so intimate must be a young master from a famous family, right?
He thought to himself that the man Lan Ruo brought was indeed handsome, and he was a perfect match for her.
I have never heard that Lan Ruo likes anyone. If this happens now, I am afraid that many men in Qianshui City will be secretly hurt.
However, this was beyond his control. After registering, he said respectfully: "Okay, please go upstairs. Turn left and go into the last room. I guarantee you a quiet stay."
Lan Ruo pulled Lin Xiaodong away. Suddenly she remembered something and turned around and said, "By the way, boss, if anyone asks me if I'm here, please help me keep the secret."
The boss quickly agreed. After all, everyone knew that Lan Ruo would attend the Peony Conference, and there would definitely be people looking for her whereabouts. This is why Lan Ruo brought Lin Xiaodong here a few days in advance.
As soon as the footsteps of the two disappeared at the end of the stairs, Cai Jin burst in with a group of brothers.
As soon as he came in, Cai Jin looked left and right, constantly looking for Lan Ruo, but in the end he found nothing.
"Boss, did Miss Lan Ruo come here just now?"
The boss lied skillfully: "Lan Ruo?
I don’t know who Lan Ruo is."
Cai Jin looked at a young man behind him in confusion. The young man rushed up and pointed at the boss's nose and cursed: "Old man, don't be pretentious. I clearly saw Lan Ruo come in, and you still said no!"
The boss held his head and said with an aggrieved look: "Everyone, I really didn't see Lan Ruo..." The boy wanted to scold him again, but Cai Jin slapped him hard on the top of his head, and he let out a painful groan.
"Didn't you say you saw Lan Ruo come in just now? Why did you say you didn't?"
"Master Cai, I really saw it with my own eyes! You must believe me!"
"I believe you as a ghost!"
Cai Jin spat and said, "My journey was in vain.
You all should listen to me and come to me next time when you are sure it is Miss Rulan."
All the brothers said yes, and Cai Jin left the inn in a swaggering manner.
Cai Jin had heard Lan Ruo say before that she was going to take Lin Xiaodong to enjoy the flowers, so he knew in his heart that she was going to the Peony Flower Festival. Unfortunately, he had been squatting near the Peony Garden for so long, but he still didn't wait for Lan Ruo to come.
I was really ready to collapse... and I don't know who the big mouth leaked the news. Many wealthy young men came to the Peony Garden with their entourage in advance, hoping to be the first to find Lan Ruo so that they could kiss her.
This situation intensified in the following days.
"Damn it!"
Lan Ruo looked at the situation around the Peony Garden from upstairs, and saw that all the inns were already overcrowded, and some were even fighting for a guest room.
Of course, all this was not only because of the Peony Flower Party, but also largely because of Lan Ruo, which shows her popularity in Qianshui City.
Someone once said that if Lan Ruo didn't want to come to the Peony Party one year, the people at the Peony Garden would probably spend money to invite her over. After all, her attraction to these wealthy young men was still exaggerated.
Originally, Lan Ruo had no feelings for these rich children, and even felt quite good about being praised by their stars.
But it's different now. She wanted to go to the Peony Garden with Lin Xiaodong to enjoy the flowers, but these rich kids became an obstacle, which made her a little upset.
"Hey, a swarm of flies!"
Hearing this, Lin Xiaodong ended his practice, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Aren't you happy that so many people like you?"
"Why are you so happy? I can't even hide. It's really annoying..." "It's okay. Anyway, tomorrow is the peony party. Let's leave after appreciating the flowers."
Lan Ruo glanced at Lin Xiaodong, as if she didn't like his indifferent behavior very much, and said angrily: "Let's go, let's go around first, it's so boring in the inn..." When he walked out of the inn, a group of people immediately gathered around him.
, shouted in surprise: "Miss Lan Ruo is really here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the people nearby became excited and wanted to squeeze in to Lan Ruo's side.
But Lan Ruo felt unhappy with these people and immediately shouted: "Go away, let me see who dares to come here! If you come one step closer, I will be rude to you!"
Everyone looked at Lan Ruo and suddenly felt timid.
Despite this, they still gathered around and refused to leave for a long time.
Suddenly, a tall man ran out of the hotel, came to Lan Ruo and said, "Miss Lan Ruo, what a coincidence, we are in the same hotel."
Lan Ruo turned around impatiently, and her expression softened slightly after seeing who it was.
