After the all-powerful secretary resigned, the aloof CEO fainted from tears

As the Chinese New Year approaches, the streets and alleys are decorated very festively.

The narrow streets are lined with small stalls, and vendors in cotton-padded clothes are happily haggling with customers.

Mo Ran and Qi He finally squeezed in. Looking at the dazzling products, they didn't know what to buy for a moment.

"what do you want to buy?"

Qi He's voice came through the crowd. Mo Ran turned his head and looked at him through the group of people.

After a while, the two were squeezed away.

"what?"

Mo Ran couldn't hear her. There were too many people. She hadn't seen so many people in a long time.

"I asked you what you want to buy!"

Qi He walked through the crowd and grabbed Mo Ran's hand.

Mo Ran was startled, resisted a little, and wanted to shake off.

Qi He held on tightly, "There are too many people, it's hard to find if you get lost!"

His voice was quite loud, and several people around him turned to look at them.

Mo Ran was actually a little scared of so many people, so she didn't refuse and let Qi He hold her hand and squeeze through the crowd towards the small stall.

"Buy the couplet first."

The two of them spent a lot of effort to get to the stall selling couplets, and Mo Ran fell in love with one.

In spring, red willow trees are renewed, and firecrackers are in full bloom.

She liked it quite a lot, but the festival always gave her a lonely feeling.

When I think about spending the Chinese New Year alone this year, I feel a little disappointed.

Qi He noticed something and patted her shoulder.

"How about we spend the Chinese New Year together this year?"

Mo Ran stopped and looked at him in surprise.

"You won't stay with your family?"

Qi He's expression changed when he mentioned his family.

"I don't want to go back."

His tone was a bit colder. Mo Ran realized that he might not have a good relationship with his family, so he didn't say much. He just smiled and said, "Let's talk about it then."

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. It's settled! I will accompany you during the Chinese New Year this year!"

Qi He blinked at Mo Ran and raised his chin slightly, "What else should I buy? I think you still lack some plants at home! How about buying some plants?"

Before Mo Ran could speak, Qi He had already brought Mo Ran to a flower shop.

There were many flowers in the shop, and Mo Ran saw the sunflowers in the vase at a glance.

Under the winter sunshine, golden flowers always give people a warm feeling.

"boss!"

Qi He shouted to the boss, who immediately ran over and said, "Sir, you're here again, another bouquet of sunflowers, right?"

"Yes, give it to this lady, pick some flowers that are easy to grow, and send them to Xinghe Bay for me."

"Okay sir, you are so kind to your girlfriend!"

The boss glanced at Mo Ran with envy, and then said: "Many men only buy roses for girls, but not many can give sunflowers to girls. Miss, you are so lucky!"

The boss took the flowers to wrap, Mo Ran smiled and shook his head, and she did not refuse.

Anyway, I really like sunflowers. If Qi He is willing to give them to him, just let him give them to him.

"Let's make an agreement first. The sunflowers are yours, and the other plants are mine."

Mo Ran put down his words and turned around to pick flowers on the shelf.

A pot of tulips caught her eye, and she held it up directly, "Boss, are these flowers easy to grow?"

"It's easy to care for, just water and light it regularly."

The boss responded to her while wrapping flowers.

Mo Ran nodded, picked up the cactus on the side and handed it to Qi He.

"This pot is for you. You keep sending me flowers, and I want something in return."

"No, this guy is full of thorns, so he is more suitable for you." Qi He shook his head, with a look of disgust on his face, and raised his hand to take a bottle of asparagus placed high up. "I think bamboo is more suitable for me because it has integrity."

Mo Ran looked at his serious look and chuckled, "Okay, then I'll give you this."

The two picked out the flowers and went out. Mo Ran held the sunflower in his arms. When he was about to say something to Qi He, there were several light flashes not far away.

Qi He realized instantly that he was being followed by the paparazzi.

Pulling the brim of his hat lower, he took Mo Ran's hand and walked into the alley behind him.

He walked so fast that Mo Ran almost didn't catch up.

"what happened?"

"There are paparazzi!"

"Are there paparazzi?"

Mo Ran was also panicked. She didn't want to go on TV. If she went on TV, Shen Zhixun would probably see her.

The two of them lowered their heads and ran quickly into the alley.

The paparazzi who had been well hidden suddenly appeared from all directions.

Mo Ran looked back and saw that there were four or five people behind him, holding cameras to follow.

"If I come out with you, there is a risk of being secretly photographed!"

Mo Ran gasped and said to Qi He: "I will never come out with you again next time!"

"Don't! I don't know what happened today. My whereabouts were exposed. It was rarely like this before! I've made it so, and those people still know me!"

"What should we do now?"

There were several paparazzi in hot pursuit, and it was not okay to keep running like this.

"It's okay, come with me!"

Fortunately, Qi He was familiar with this place. After a while, he turned into a fast food restaurant, then entered a large supermarket through another door, and soon lost a few paparazzi.

"It's like being hunted!"

It was winter, and his head was covered in sweat from running. Mo Ran lowered his head and found that the two people's hands were still tightly held together.

After looking at each other, Qi He immediately let go of her hand, his ears still a little red.

"I'm sorry, did I try too hard?"

"fine."

Mo Ran was also a little embarrassed. He shook his red palms and looked around as if nothing had happened.

“This supermarket is good, it’s big!”

"Yeah, it's big!"

The atmosphere was a little stiff. Qi He swallowed and didn't know what to say for a while.

"That's right." Mo Ran suddenly became serious, "Did you say they just took pictures of our faces?"

"Hard to say."

Qi He frowned. As soon as they walked out of the flower shop, the flashlight came on.

Maybe, it has been photographed.

"What should I do?"

Mo Ran panicked, "I can't let Shen Zhixun see me. If I go on TV, Shen Zhixun will find me. No, I can't stay here, I want to leave!"

"Why go? What if he finds out? Do you want to hide from him all your life?" Qi He pulled her body and looked at her intently, "Mo Ran, what happened in the past is in the past, there is no point in hiding. A way to solve the problem. Even if he does come, I will protect you, I swear!"

Qi He's serious look reminded Mo Ran of Su Nanxing.

The image of Su Nanxing before his death flashed in his mind, and Mo Ran threw away his hand in horror.

"No! No! I don't need you to protect me, you'd better stay away from me!"

After she yelled at him, she turned around and left.

Qi He followed and asked in confusion: "Why? Why don't you believe me? I will really protect you!"

"Stop talking!"

Mo Ran turned his head and suddenly stared at him, "Stop talking! You are not allowed to say it again in the future!"

"But--"

"Do not say!"

Mo Ran trembled and tears suddenly flowed down.

Seeing her crying, Qi He froze on the spot, as helpless as a child.
