Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

Chen Feng recalled Hao Mei's delicate face and striking wine-red hair, and nodded subconsciously.

"That settles it then!" the monkey exclaimed, slapping his thigh. "What pretty girl doesn't love receiving flowers? You've given her a wonderful surprise! She'll never forget it!"

Chen Feng was so easily swayed by him that he impulsively thought the idea was actually quite good.

"Okay! Let's do it this way!"

"Besides flowers, you should also write a card; that shows sincerity." The monkey almost burst out laughing, but managed to hold it back.

"A card? What should I write on it?"

"That's easy, I'll write it! You just stick it on the flower, and she'll be happy." The monkey picked up a pen and scribbled a few lines on a sticky note.

Chen Feng didn't even look at it, put it in his pocket and turned to leave.

The monkey suppressed a laugh, secretly pleased: "Brother Feng, let's see how you get out of this. That's the daughter of the police chief, and a reporter at that. You're going to her workplace with ninety-nine roses... I can't even imagine the scene..."

……

5 PM, Donghai Daily News Office.

As the city's mouthpiece, the newspaper building was eerily quiet. Hao Mei was sitting at her workstation, her brow furrowed as she revised a manuscript.

Suddenly, a commotion arose at the door.

Reporters and editors passing by the newspaper office entrance cast curious glances at the visitors.

"Huh? Who's that?"

"I don't know, maybe they sent flowers?"

"Oh my god, ninety-nine red roses, is this a marriage proposal?"

"Who did you give it to? I'm so envious..."

Chen Feng forced himself to walk inside, his heart already pounding with anxiety.

Damn it, this monkey's terrible idea is getting weirder and weirder.

After much difficulty, he finally found out that Hao Mei's office was on the third floor. Holding a bouquet of roses bigger than his head, he was surrounded by onlookers as he walked, like a monkey being paraded through the streets.

"Bang bang bang!"

Chen Feng knocked on the office door.

"Please come in."

The door opened, and Hao Mei was sitting at her desk typing on her keyboard.

When she looked up and saw Chen Feng's face emerge from behind a large pile of roses, she was completely stunned.

"You... what brings you here?"

"Miss Hao, I came here specifically to thank you." Chen Feng handed over the flowers, trying to make his smile appear sincere. "Thanks to you for what happened last time. This bouquet is a small token of my appreciation."

The office erupted in chaos.

Wow! What a huge bouquet of roses!

"Is this for Hao Mei?"

"My goodness, who is this? He's quite handsome!"

"Hao Mei, you kept this a secret for so long! When did you get a boyfriend?"

Four or five colleagues swarmed around, their eyes gleaming with gossip.

Hao Mei's face flushed red instantly, as red as the bouquet of roses in her hand.

"What...what are you doing!" she whispered, forcing out the words, "I don't have that kind of relationship with him!"

"Oh, don't explain!" a female colleague winked. "Isn't it good that a man is sending you flowers? Just accept them!"

Hao Mei wished she could disappear into a crack in the ground.

Society's dead! The society's dead!

She glared fiercely at Chen Feng, her eyes seeming to say: You wait, I'm not done with you yet!

Chen Feng then realized that he seemed to have gotten into trouble.

"Um... I just wanted to express my gratitude..."

"Shut up!" Hao Mei grabbed his arm, picked up the bouquet of flowers, and dragged him outside. "Come with me!"

Along the way, Hao Mei wished she could devour Chen Feng alive.

That bastard! Why send flowers to her workplace?! And red roses at that! Ninety-nine of them! How is she supposed to face anyone at work now?!

Hao Mei dragged Chen Feng and the huge bouquet of flowers, rushing out of the office area like a whirlwind and all the way to the parking lot downstairs.

Hao Mei stopped and stared at Chen Feng, panting.

"Chen Feng, are you sick...?"

"I...I just wanted to thank you..." Chen Feng scratched his head, looking completely innocent.

"Thanks my ass!"

"Couldn't you have tried a different approach?" Hao Mei gritted her teeth. "Now look what's happened! Tomorrow the whole newspaper office will be buzzing about how my boyfriend came to the office to deliver flowers, and such tacky ones at that! It's so embarrassing!"

Chen Feng, holding the flowers, looked completely innocent: "No... Monkey said girls like to make a good impression, and that I should give them to them in front of my colleagues..."

"A monkey?" Hao Mei laughed angrily. "You mean your sleazy little lackey? You actually believe what he says?!"

"I..." Chen Feng finally realized that he had been tricked by that bastard monkey. Just as he was about to explain, Hao Mei suddenly pointed to a red card in the flower bushes.

"What is that?"

Chen Feng's expression changed, and he tried to hide it, but Hao Mei snatched it away with lightning speed.

Hao Mei opened the card and read it aloud:

"To the most beautiful heroine Hao Mei:"

You are the wind, I am the sand; you are the honeydew, I am the melon.

Although I'm a rough guy, I know you're the hottest.

"Thank you, heroine, for rescuing me from this sea of ​​suffering! Your humble servant, Chen Feng, is willing to repay your kindness with my body... no, I'm willing to be your slave!"

After he finished reading, the air in the parking lot froze for three seconds.

Immediately afterwards, "Pfft—Hahahaha!"

Hao Mei finally couldn't hold back anymore. Her anger instantly vanished, and she clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she almost cried.

"Hahahaha... You're the wind, I'm the sand... and a cantaloupe... Hahahaha! Are you... are you trying to make me laugh to death?"

Chen Feng's face flushed slightly, a rare occurrence for him. He wished he could go back right now and chop up the monkey to feed the dog.

"Um... cough cough, just take it as a joke." Chen Feng scratched his head awkwardly. "I really want to thank you for this poem..."

Seeing Chen Feng's embarrassed state, Hao Mei's laughter subsided, and she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Looking at the man in front of her, who, though rustic and clumsy, had sincere eyes, her anger dissipated considerably.

"Alright, I'll let it go this time since you put in so much 'effort'." Hao Mei stuffed the card into her pocket (surprisingly, she didn't throw it away), then pointed to the flowers in Chen Feng's hand, "But I absolutely cannot take these flowers back to the office. They're too flashy, and the packaging... it's simply an eyesore."

"Then... should I throw it away?" Chen Feng made a move to walk towards the trash can.

"Hey! Don't throw it away!" Hao Mei instinctively stopped him. "It's such a nice flower, it's such a waste to throw it away."

She glared at Chen Feng, opened the back door of the bread cart, and said, "Put it in your car first, I...I'll get it later!"

"Alright, then I'll be your protector, okay?" Chen Feng closed the car door, took advantage of the situation, and approached Hao Mei with a grin.

Hao Mei rolled her eyes at him, and was about to scold him when her stomach let out two loud rumbles.

I've been revising the manuscript the whole time and haven't had lunch. After all this fuss, I'm starving.

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's lips curled into a wicked smile: "It seems the heroine is hungry. Since it's inconvenient for you to accept the flowers, you must at least eat, right? Could this humble servant do you the honor of having a simple meal? Consider it an apology."

Hao Mei wanted to refuse, but looking at Chen Feng's shameless face, she suddenly remembered the scenes she had seen while following him these past few days.

This man is indeed quite interesting.
