Chapter 132 – You have to hold onto your moral bottom line (2)
Li Yuanhang paused before continuing, “This isn’t negotiable and you don’t need to think about it. Go resign. Don’t stay in Song Corporation any longer. I’ll give you a month. If you’re still at Song Corporation in a month, I’ll consider if I should tell dad and mom this matter. Even if you won’t listen to me, you should listen to dad and mom, right?”
Li Jing didn’t say anything. She only blankly looked at the glass of juice. Her expression was very bad.
“Alright, I won’t keep you from work.” Li Yuanhang raised his hand and looked at the time on his watch. His tone softened a lot when he said his parting words, “Little Jing, older brother hopes that you won’t go down the wrong path. In the future, you’ll understand that there are things that can’t be done and lines that can’t be crossed no matter how much you like someone. Moreover, he doesn’t like you.”
He truly hoped that she would listen to his sincere, but unpleasant to hear advice.
As someone that loved her, if saying unpleasant words would open her eyes to the truth, then he didn’t mind if she blamed him. He would accept it. He just hoped that she wouldn’t go down the wrong path.

When Song Tingshen got off from work, he specially told the driver, “Stop when we pass by a flower shop.”
“Okay, CEO Song.”
Song Corporation was near downtown, and there were many flower shops. The driver chose one that had the most convenient parking. Turning his head, he asked, “CEO Song, we’re at the flower shop. Do you want me to get out?”
“No need.” Song Tingshen put down his tablet and opened the car door.
It wasn’t a holiday today, so the flower shop wasn’t busy. As soon as he walked in, a shop assistant warmly welcomed him.
“Sir, what kind of flowers would you like to buy? We have the freshest flowers here and more variety than other places.”
Song Tingshen looked at the red roses and vetoed that option immediately. Someone else had sent her red roses. It wouldn’t be new or special at all if he did the same.
After looking around the flower shop, he still had no idea what to get. He didn’t have any experience sending someone flowers. In the end, he chose the flowers that he thought were the most beautiful according to his aesthetic, champagne roses.
He bought 19 champagne roses with a border of white plum blossoms and bamboo. The shop assistant wrapped up the bouquet very quickly. After paying for the flowers, Song Tingshen walked out of the shop with the bouquet in his hand.
The driver hastily came out of the car and opened the door for him. Although CEO Song had told him to park in front of a flower shop, which meant that he was probably going to buy flowers, it still felt surreal to see his boss coming out with a bouquet. At this time of the day, CEO Song was probably going home next, so this bouquet must be for Mrs. Song...
It was perfectly normal for a husband to give his wife flowers, so why did he feel it was so off when CEO Song was the one doing it?
Song Tingshen actually felt very uncomfortable too. After all, this was the first time that he would be giving a woman flowers. He quickly got into the car. After closing the door, he asked the driver, “Home next.”
When the car arrived at the villa and parked at the entrance, Song Tingshen looked at the champagne roses and felt awkward. Was this appropriate? What if Ruan Xia didn’t like this? Or to put it another way, would this cause awkwardness between them?
The driver didn’t dare to ask Song Tingshen to hurry up with getting out of the car.
Song Tingshen suddenly asked, “Is your wife happy when you give her flowers?”
Caught off guard by this question, the driver froze for a moment before hastily answering, “She’ll be happy and also scold me for wasting money.”
After saying that, the driver added, “A woman would probably be happy to get flowers.”
So she would be happy?
