Chapter 2879: Why Does My Wife Follow Me Every Day 40?

Another year passed, and time quietly slipped into February.

On the eve of Valentine's Day, Morning Coffee Shop and Cloud Flower Shop jointly launched a special event: On Valentine's Day, anyone who purchases the designated sweet couple's coffee set at the coffee shop can, with the receipt, get a free Valentine's‑themed bouquet personally arranged by Boss Yun at the flower shop.

After the announcement, the event quickly became a minor hit among young people on the nearby streets and on social media.

After all, the owners of both shops are extremely good‑looking; just standing there they form a pleasing vista, drawing many people who come specially to check in.

On the day of the event, both shops were unusually busy; the coffee shop was filled with couples, Xiao Liu and the other staff were running off their feet, and Tan Quan was also called back to help.

However, attentive customers soon noticed.

Whenever a customer stared too long at the coffee shop owner, the flower shop owner, while still smiling and speaking, would unintentionally glance over, and the customer would feel an inexplicable pressure.

Female customers privately remarked that although the flower shop owner looked gentle, his possessiveness was by no means weak.

As evening approached and closing time neared, Jin Chen received a large order.

A nearby design studio ordered more than twenty coffees and requested delivery.

He glanced at the shop; Xiao Liu and the others could manage for now, so he picked up the packaged coffees and leisurely headed to the studio.

When he returned after delivering the coffee, the sun was already slanting westward; Jin Chen had just reached the corner when he saw Yun Jian walking over from the opposite side.

He had probably slipped out through the back door of the flower shop, still wearing that light‑beige apron, and seemed to be hiding something behind his back.

That appearance made it clear he had been waiting here all along, yet was pretending it was a chance encounter.

Yun Jian seemed to realize he had been exposed, so he openly stepped out of the alley, his face bright with uncontainable joy, and walked quickly toward Jin Chen.

Jin Chen stopped, waited for him to approach, and smiled.

"What's up?"

Yun Jian stood before him, looked up, and said, "I've come to deliver flowers."

He took out a single flower from behind his back.

It was a lone rose, unusually colored: the outer petals were almost ink‑black, while the inner petals were a deep, blood‑red.

The black and red blended together, strikingly beautiful enough to hold one's gaze, strangely gorgeous, bewitchingly beautiful, uniquely beautiful.

"This is a new variety I cultivated," Yun Jian said, gazing at Jin Chen without blinking, "and I managed to produce only one."

"It is one‑of‑a‑kind, and I may not be able to replicate it again."

He handed the flower to Jin Chen, his voice soft, "Just like me."

"I am cunning, ruthless, my methods cruel; the dark, hidden things in my heart are so many I can't even count them myself."

"But I love you."

The sunset's light fell on Yun Jian's face; in his deep black eyes surged all the most sincere, ardent feelings.

"I love you most, and only you."

Jin Chen pulled Yun Jian into his embrace, gently cupped his cheeks, thumb brushing his slightly red eye corners, and poured all his response into the kiss.

The black‑red rose in his hand swayed gently in the evening breeze.

The meaning of this rose is: You are my one and only.

And I will always watch over you.

Forever.

……

【Congratulations, Lord Jin Chen, mission completed, Blackening Value reset to zero.】

【This world's reward points, accumulated.】

【Transferring to the next world……Transfer successful!】

In this world I hardly did any work, yet I have become a 999‑level sigh that makes many systems envious in the Quick Transmigration Bureau.

Following Lord Jin Chen on missions is practically the pinnacle of system life.
