The white rose I picked up cried and said she liked me.

In a short moment, Xu Xi's emotions soared from the depths of despair to the heights of elation, his heart pounding wildly, almost leaping out of his chest.

She gripped Xu Nian's arm tightly, her eyes brimming with joy, and couldn't help but cheer loudly, "Yes, you're amazing! You're truly my man, so smart! Haha...hahahahaha..."

She tiptoed, cupped Xu Nian's face in her hands, and left countless kisses on his face. Then she buried her head in the man's chest, tears of excitement streaming down her face.

This was the first time Xu Nian had seen her so excited and out of control. He stroked the girl's soft, silvery hair and teased, "Look at you, do you have any of the demeanor of a big CEO? You even dropped my coconut! Do you know how much that coconut cost? A whole 10 US dollars! It was like it was made of gold! It broke my heart."

Xu Xi buried herself in his arms, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but laugh so hard that she blew a snot bubble.

"Okay, you like coconut water, right?"

She grabbed the man's arm and led him into the bedroom: "Tonight, I'll reward you with all the drinks you want."

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In Zoro's private banquet hall, several thugs dressed in black rushed in from outside the door, walking hurriedly towards the depths of the banquet hall.

Zoro sat at the head of the table, holding a bottle of champagne, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Boss, we brought the stuff back." The burly man in the lead stepped forward, took out a sealed document bag from his pocket, and respectfully handed it to Zoro with both hands.

"Very good, well done." Zoro reached out and took the file bag, a sinister smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

"With this contract, Miss Xu, and the entire Sinian Group, will be mine... Hahahaha."

He waved his hand, signaling to the bodyguard beside him: "Pour the wine."

The bodyguards immediately stepped forward and poured champagne for each of the thugs present.

Zoro raised his glass high and said, "Once I've swallowed the Thoughts Group, you'll all be rewarded."

"Thank you, young master!" The thugs raised their glasses in response, their faces full of fawning smiles, each one extremely happy.

Zoro tilted his head back and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp, then slammed the glass down on the table. He eagerly opened the document bag and pulled out the contract inside.

He hummed a little tune and quickly flipped to the last page, the signature section.

But the moment he saw that page, the smile on his face froze, and the curve of his lips fell sharply.

It was completely empty; there wasn't a signature, not even a drop of ink.

Zoro frowned, rubbed his eyes, and looked again. That spot was still completely blank, without a trace.

The burly man at the head of the group felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the man's suddenly grim expression; an ominous premonition instantly swept over him.

"Young master, what's wrong?"

"You bastard!"

Zoro roared and smashed the champagne bottle next to him.

The glass bottle slammed into the burly man's forehead, shattering instantly. Wine mixed with blood slid down his forehead, dripping onto the carpet beneath his feet, spreading a crimson stain.

The burly man staggered back a few steps, clutching his forehead, his face blank, completely unaware of what had happened.

Zoro clutched the contract, walked step by step to him, shoved the blank signature area in front of his eyes, his voice hoarse with rage.

"Where's Xu Nian's signature? Tell me, where is his signature?"

The burly man stared wide-eyed at the blank space, his whole body trembling uncontrollably.

He snatched the contract and flipped through it several times with trembling hands.

The paper was crumpled and wrinkled, but not a single word could be seen.

His face was deathly pale, and he muttered to himself, "Impossible... I clearly saw him sign it and seal it in the bag himself, how could it not be there... Absolutely impossible..."

"Useless! A bunch of good-for-nothings who can accomplish nothing but ruin everything!"

Enraged, Zoro kicked him hard in the chest, knocking him to the ground, his eyes blazing with fury.

"I painstakingly set up this grand scheme, and you guys made a mistake at the most crucial point, ruining all my plans!"

He was so angry that he trembled all over, his jaw clenched so tightly that it made a grinding sound, and his face was twisted and ferocious.

The beautiful and charming Miss Xu's opportunity to acquire the Sinian Group slipped away right before his eyes.

"Send all this useless stuff to New Mexico to sell their blood!"

"Yes, sir!"

......

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

The soft morning light filtered through the curtains into the bedroom, accompanied by a gentle tropical sea breeze.

Xu Nian slowly woke up to the clear chirping of birds outside the window. He got out of bed, went to the window, rubbed his round belly, and let out a loud burp.

The coconut he ate last night filled him up completely.

My stomach is still bloated, full of fresh coconut juice.

He really couldn't understand how so much juice could be squeezed out of that tiny coconut.

It's like the mighty Yellow River, an inexhaustible source of water.

Soft, gentle footsteps approached from behind.

"woke up?"

Xu Xi, dressed in the Empress's New Clothes, wrapped her arms around the man's waist from behind.

Two soft gummy bears were stuck to Xu Nian's back, and his cheeks immediately turned red with embarrassment.

Xu Xi smiled slightly and handed a glass to the man: "You just woke up, have a glass of water to soothe your throat first."

Xu Nian took the glass of warm water, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The water was at the perfect temperature—not too hot, not too cold—and had a subtle, refreshing sweetness.

Xu Nian smacked her lips twice, turned around, and draped her pajamas over the girl's shoulders: "Why did you wake up so early?"

Xu Xi pulled her coat tighter around her, a faint blush rising on her cheeks, like a touch of light pink cherry blossom. Her eyes crinkled into a smile. "Because I need to get up early so I can make you some coconut water."

"Coconut, coconut water?"

Xu Nian's pupils constricted sharply as she stared in disbelief at the empty glass in her hand, her eyes filled with shock: "So, that means what's in this glass is...is..."

Xu Xi chuckled softly, tiptoed closer to his ear, and gently blew a breath.

"Just like you thought~ How about it, do you like it?"

"If you like it, I'll get up a little earlier every morning to make you coconut water."
