Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Ah Da asked, “Miss Shen, why are we buying so many butterfly orchids?”

“Christmas gift,” Shen Qianshu said confidently without a single sense of guilt.

Ah Da watched helplessly as the shop owner moved the numerous pots of butterfly orchids onto the car. The mother and son were too random about picking a gift for Master. Master had been preparing a gift for them from a month ago and even asked Zhong Ran for his opinion for many days.

Shen Qianshu smiled happily. “We have so many pots of butterfly orchids. It makes everything seem so much better and grand.”

“Mommy, you are amazing! Smart!”

When they were settling the bill, Shen Qianshu’s eyes widened in shock. She looked at the bill and then at the butterfly orchids on the car. Is it too late now to return the goods?

Tong Hua snatched the bill over. “Wow. That’s crazy. Is this robbery?”

Thirty pots of butterfly orchids. Two hundred thousand dollars.

“Sir, I am well educated. Don’t try to cheat us of our money,” Tong Hua said unbelievingly.

The shop owner looked fearful and respectful as he explained that out of the thirty pots of butterfly orchids, twenty of them were normal types. Each one costs 300 dollars.

But as for the remaining ten, they were all high-grade flowers.

One of them had a red center, and that alone already costs 60,000 dollars. It was the queen among the flowers for the year.

Tong Hua was a ‘national son,’ and he looked familiar. The shop owner did not bother reminding them about the price as they thought that buying these flowers would be as cheap as commoners buying vegetables in the market.

Ah Da was afraid that the mother and son would be scammed, so he made a phone call hurriedly and sent a few photos. “Miss Shen, Young Master, although it’s a little expensive, the shop owner isn’t lying.”

Shen Qianshu paid for the flowers with tears in her eyes. She needed to correct her bad habit of not asking about the price before buying things!

Tong Hua patted Shen Qianshu on her chest and transferred fifty thousand dollars to Shen Qianshu. “Mommy, don’t cry. I’ll compensate and give you a big red packet.”

Shen Qianshu was speechless.

It was a fruitful trip to the floral shop. They filled up almost an entire truck and headed home.

Shen Qianshu yelled for the bodyguards to come out and gave each of them twenty dollars as hush money. “Remember, we picked these painstakingly all for your Master’s Christmas gift. Do y’all hear me?”

The bodyguards were speechless.

Miss Shen, we will definitely not be able to bring ourselves to utter such words that are against our conscience.

The hush money you give is way too little. Can you at least give us 200?

When they got in the car, the two sighed in relief.

“Mommy, didn’t you prepare a gift for ‘foster daddy?’”

“I just gave him a gift recently. How could I think of something special in such a short time?” She had wanted to give him a French kiss to deal with the whole matter conveniently, and yet her son picked these butterfly orchids. So, she joined in to get them butterfly orchids so that things would look grander.

When the two returned home, Ye Yifan was waiting for Tong Hua in the garden out of boredom. Seeing the huge truck approaching their home, he was mildly surprised.

They had allocated quite a number of staff from Rose Castle.

There were thirty bodyguards, three gardeners, four chefs, and six butlers who protected this area. They happened to not have butterfly orchids in the garden, and now, there were thirty. The gardeners were pretty excited.

“My sister, my nephew... You guys are... great!”

Ye Yifan found it really admirable.

Luther was a descendant of a French aristocrat, but he was also once from a prosperous family. His taste for aesthetics was quite strict. Once, a small flower bud grew out of a pot of peony, and he threw the whole pot out.

When Rose Castle was being designed back then, Luther spent ten million dollars just because there was something wrong with the color tone in the wall murals of the dome roof. They took everything down and renovated it again. This ended up affecting Ye Ling. If he knew that there were some unidentified objects in his garden...

Oh... I’m anticipating what would happen next.
