Chapter 18 The Disappearing Anniversary Gift!

"Secretary Yan doesn't like working overtime!"

Thinking of Yan Ruo's frown when she mentioned working overtime, Xu Shaoyu's frosty brows softened a little.

"Besides, drinking is inevitable at this kind of banquet. Yan Ruo's stomach isn't very good, so it's more appropriate to let Special Assistant Liu handle the drinking!"

Special Assistant Liu had a look of as if he had eaten shit.

I never thought that the boss asked him to postpone his business trip for a day just to avoid drinking?

So I'm just a tool!

Special Assistant Liu began to withdraw into himself, and the driver Xiao Zhang just thought of himself as an invisible person.

The car fell into silence, with only the sound of Xu Shaoyu's phone ringing continuously.

His brows were knitted together and a hint of annoyance flashed in his eyes.

In Xu Shaoyu's impression.

Yan Ruo always responded to his requests. No matter what time it was, she would always reply to his messages and answer his calls as soon as possible.

There has never been a situation like today where no one answered my numerous calls!

He threw his phone aside in annoyance.

Suddenly it occurred to me that today was the weekend, and Yan Ruo might be out playing with friends, so that’s why she didn’t check her phone!

But hadn't she been talking about spending their anniversary together a week ago? She hadn't sent him a single message all day today.

What a heartless woman who loves the new and gets bored easily!

When he made the fifth call and was about to go upstairs to check if no one answered, the call was finally connected.

"Wait for me, come downstairs right away!"

Without giving him a chance to speak, Yan Ruo on the other end hurriedly threw down a few words and hung up.

Xiao Zhang and Special Assistant Liu, who were sitting in the front, didn't dare to breathe.

No one has ever made Mr. Xu call so many times and dared not to answer; no one has ever made Mr. Xu wait so long willingly and not get angry!

When Yan Ruo's figure finally appeared downstairs, they felt the air pressure in the car rise.

After getting in the car, Yan Ruo found that Special Assistant Liu was also there, which made her feel a little strange.

"Isn't Special Assistant Liu going on a business trip to France today?"

Although they are known as Xu Shaoyu's right-hand men, Yan Ruo does not have much contact with Special Assistant Liu due to their different division of labor.

Special Assistant Liu glanced at the boss's expression inconspicuously and spoke awkwardly.

"I have other work to do today, so I've postponed it to tomorrow!"

But I was secretly complaining in my heart!

I haven't offended Secretary Yan before! Why would she want to hurt me like this?

The boss had waited so long for her and made so many calls, but when he got in the car, the first thing he asked was why I wasn't on a business trip? Didn't he see that his face had become even colder?

Perhaps the resentment in Special Assistant Liu's heart was too strong, Yan Ruo finally felt guilty, looked at Xu Shaoyu, and explained with an apologetic look:

"Sorry, I was watching a movie with Ayu just now, and my phone was on silent!"

"It's okay!" Xu Shaoyu looked at her steadily for a while, then his brows relaxed slightly.

"You must answer the phone in time next time, otherwise, I will worry!"

Yan Ruo only regretted that she knew Xu Shaoyu too well and could quickly capture every change in his emotions.

Every time I would indulge in his subtle care and tenderness.

She stared at him for a long moment before replying, "Okay!"

Xu Shaoyu took her to a well-known high-end restaurant located on the top floor of the tallest building in North City. While dining, she could overlook the night view of the entire North City.

There was soft music playing in the restaurant, and there were no other customers except the service staff.

Xu Shaoyu must have booked the entire theater!

Yan Ruo really wanted to ask if he made this arrangement for her.

Thinking of the previous sentence "It has nothing to do with you", the words that were about to come out of my mouth were swallowed back.

Yan Ruo lowered his eyes, secretly laughing at himself in his heart.

Maybe he just doesn't want others to know about their relationship!

After all, the marriage between the Xu and Yun families is imminent, and the cooperation between the Xu and Yun families has also entered a critical period. If it is reported at this time that he has close contact with other women and has dinner with them, it will always be bad!

Putting aside other things, this is indeed a restaurant that wealthy people in North City love to visit.

Not only does it have a unique night view, but the food inside is also very delicious.

Unfortunately, Yan Ruo had just had a big meal two hours ago and hadn't had time to digest it yet. No matter how delicious the food was, he could only taste a little bit of each.

Xu Shaoyu placed the cut steak in front of Yan Ruo.

"You're too thin! Eat more!"

Meeting his concerned look, Yan Ruo felt a little bitter in her heart.

She was too embarrassed to tell him that she had already had dinner, so she had to grit her teeth and eat it!

After the meal, Xu Shaoyu took out an exquisite velvet box and pushed it in front of Yan Ruo.

Thinking of the pair of returned cufflinks, Yan Ruo felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look into Xu Shaoyu's eyes.

"Open it and take a look!" His voice was not as cold as usual, and it contained a hint of anticipation.

When Yan Ruo opened the box, a necklace inlaid with diamonds shone brightly under the light. It also shone with the light of money!

"This is too expensive!"

Yan Ruo had just seen the picture of this necklace online some time ago. It was designed by an internationally renowned master and was bought by an unknown buyer as soon as it came out!

The value is no less than the pair of bracelets that Lin Shuyun showed off!

She even complained to Chi Yu at that time, what about these damn rich people!

Seeing her eyes light up for a moment, Xu Shaoyu raised the corner of his mouth slightly, stood up and walked to Yan Ruo, saying that she could not be refused.

"I'll help you bring it!"

Although Xu Shaoyu had given her many gifts in the past two years, some of which were very valuable, none of them were as valuable as this necklace.

Wearing such an expensive necklace around her neck, Yan Ruo, who calls herself a worker, couldn't help but feel her neck was unprecedentedly heavy.

Xu Shaoyu returned to his seat, his eyes filled with a deep, passionate light.

Yan Ruo knew that he was waiting for her gift.

In the past, whether it was her birthday or Valentine's Day, she would start preparing gifts many days in advance, looking forward to the day when she would give them to him.

But this time, he was destined to be disappointed.

Yan Ruo felt extremely guilty and didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Sorry, I forgot to prepare a gift for you!"

The surging aura around them stagnated for a moment, and Xu Shaoyu looked at her with inquiring eyes.

Yan Ruo held her breath slightly, thinking that he would be angry.

After all, Xu Shaoyu has always been popular. This time, he condescended to not only book a romantic restaurant, but also prepared valuable gifts.

But she had nothing in her hands and had prepared nothing.

He really doesn't know what's good for him!

She was already prepared. If Xu Shaoyu questioned her or showed his unhappiness, she would just go with the flow and break up with him.

By the way, return this hot necklace.

But after a moment's silence, he stood up again, took two steps forward, grabbed her wrist, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

"It's okay, I'll take the present myself!"

What does this sentence mean?

Yan Ruo's heart skipped a beat, feeling that things were beyond her expectations.

When he realized something was wrong, Xu Shaoyu had already pulled him into the stairwell.

As soon as he pulled his hand away, she fell into his arms, and the grip on her waist continued to tighten.

Suddenly, there was a warm sensation beside her ear, and the tip of his nose gently touched the tip of her ear.

"You've been feeling down lately? Huh?"

The warm breath rushed into her ears, causing Yan Ruo to flinch. She opened her mouth to talk openly, "I..."

A hand rubbed the back of her neck, cutting her off from her words.

The air around him began to heat up, and Xu Shaoyu began to feel dissatisfied with such a simple touch.

The warm lips came up gently, from gentle friction to fierce biting, from the ear, to the neck, then the cheek, and finally fell to her lips.

His breathing became increasingly heavy, as if he was venting his dissatisfaction. With unconditional aggression, he robbed her of her breath and blocked the words that were about to come out.

Yan Ruo felt weak all over, his thoughts were confused, and he slowly sank into despair.

Until, a shrill bell rang!
