Chapter 184 I like you more and more!

Yan Ruo raised an eyebrow and asked curiously, "What will you do if... I don't agree?"

Xu Shaoyu's eyes were dark, his fingers gently stroked her cheek, and his voice was a little hoarse.

"It's okay. I'll ask you again in a different place and in a different way next time until you agree."

"Today, I wanted to take advantage of you being full and sleepy, and see if I could make you agree to me while you were drowsy."

"I didn't expect to miscalculate. You are indeed worthy of being Mr. Yan."

"Is that so?" Yan Ruo took his hand, passed her fingers through his, and interlocked theirs. "Okay then, I promise you."

The sound was as light as a gust of wind, but it was extremely clear to Xu Shaoyu's ears.

Xu Shaoyu's expression instantly relaxed, and he tightened his grip on her hand. "What did you say? Say it again."

Yan Ruo's eyes wandered, and she didn't dare to look him in the eye. "I say, we can get engaged first."

"To avoid another surprise attack in the future, and to avoid trouble, it's better to agree now."

"You agreed to marry me." Xu Shaoyu raised the corners of his lips, his eyes flashing with excitement, completely unlike the calm and self-possessed Mr. Xu outside.

He looked calm and composed just now.

The same was true for Yan Ruo. Although she pretended to be calm on the surface, only she knew how fast and loud her heartbeat was at the moment.

There is even a dizzy feeling as if the brain is congested.

But she still said stubbornly, "I said engagement, but I didn't say I would marry you right away."

Xu Shaoyu said nonchalantly, "It's only a matter of time."

"Where do you want the engagement ceremony to be held? Or both? Whatever style you prefer, I'll have someone arrange it right away."

Yan Ruo leaned her head on his shoulder and smiled, "We don't usually have big banquets for engagements in my family, but there are still some ceremonies to go through."

As she spoke, she tried to get up feeling a little uncomfortably, but Xu Shaoyu's hands were still tightly around her waist.

Yan Ruo patted his arm gently, "Let me go."

Xu Shaoyu buried his face in her neck and took a deep breath, "Don't let go, let me hold you for a while longer."

Not sure if it was an illusion or the moisture from her breath, but Yan Ruo felt her neck was a little wet. She pursed her lips and jokingly said something that was very unpleasant.

"I've been busy all day today. My face and hair are all greasy. I'm going to rub the grease all over your face later?"

Yan Ruo only felt his chest vibrate slightly, and a muffled laugh escaped from the depths of his throat.

Then Xu Shaoyu gently kissed her neck, cheeks, nose, lips, eyes and forehead, and continued to hug her tightly.

"Don't worry, I don't mind. I like you no matter what you are like."

Yan Ruo's smile deepened, "I've noticed that you're becoming more and more adept at speaking sweet words."

"So, do you like it?"

"I like you more and more."

Xu Shaoyu took a deep breath, a smile on his lips, and held Yan Ruo's arms slightly harder, bringing the two of them closer together.

There was satisfaction in his voice, "Me too, I love you, only you."

Although Yan Ruo agreed to get engaged first, in order to show his importance, Xu Shaoyu decided to go to Yan's house first and tell Yan's parents about the engagement in person.

"Grandpa and grandma are old, and there is no elder to propose marriage. I am sorry for putting you in such a difficult position."

In order to avoid any trouble, Xu Shaoyu would never let his mother get involved, as it would only make things worse.

To these words, I said, “I don’t care.”

"Will my uncle and aunt be dissatisfied with me because of this?"

"My parents are looking at whether I like you and whether you're reliable. The first half of the conditions have been met, but as for whether you're reliable, it all depends on how you perform."

Xu Shaoyu seemed to be thinking about something, "Then I must think carefully about how to behave."

Originally, Yan Ruo was planning to go home, but because Xu Shaoyu came to Nancheng, her return had to be postponed for a few days.

So I still had to get up and go to work the next day.

She complained to Chi Yu, "I've already started my own business, so why do I still have to work from nine to six?"

Chi Yu bluntly hit the nail on the head, "Because deep down you still have the mentality of an ox or a horse."

"Sorry for making exceptions, but you'll just have to go to and from get off work on time."

Well, Yan Ruo admitted that she did want to set an example, but she was embarrassed to ask for special treatment.

Even though they worked in the same building, I didn't know what Xu Shaoyu was busy with. I sent him downstairs in the morning and left with Xiao Liu.

But it doesn't look like he's busy with work.

Looking at their backs as they left in a leisurely manner, Yan Ruo secretly complained that they were indeed old capitalists, and they skipped work with a clear conscience.

"When will I be able to develop such a good mentality?"

The weather in the south city changes a lot in early winter. When I went out in the morning, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature was not low.

Unexpectedly, the weather suddenly changed at noon, and the howling north wind blew all afternoon, and the temperature kept dropping.

Yan Ruo hugged the pillow tightly in her arms, thinking to herself, what a mistake! I should have brought an extra coat to the office.

She doesn't like to turn the air conditioner temperature too high, always feeling that it is a kind of superficial heat.

The person's face becomes red and hot due to the wind, but his feet remain cold.

I took a sip of the water from the cup. The weather was getting colder, and the water was cooling down faster than usual. I got up helplessly and prepared to get another cup of hot water.

As soon as I walked out of the office, I saw Li Rongyi walking towards me with something in his hand.

"Miss Yan, Mr. Xu asked me to bring this. He said you were wearing too little when you went out this morning. It's going to get cold in the afternoon. Don't catch a cold."

Yan Ruo took the paper bag, glanced at it, and found a beige coat inside.

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble."

"You're welcome." He invited the people outside in. "This is what Mr. Xu ordered specially for everyone. Drink some ginger and jujube tea in this weather to avoid catching a cold."

Looking at the hot tea and desserts filling the entire desk, Yan Ruo let out a laugh.

He shook his head and laughed, "Secretary Li, would you like to eat something?"

"Then I'll try this osmanthus cake." Li Rongyi stretched out his hand and picked up a piece of cake, smiling, "Thank you, Miss Yan. I have things to do, so I won't bother you any more."

After Li Rongyi left, Zhao Jie and the others came over and said, "Boss Yan, Boss Xu really cares about you. We are also benefiting from this."

Yan Ruo reached out and picked up a cup of ginger and jujube tea, which was still hot. She took a sip and found it tasted good.

"Come on, come on, let's eat together."

Just then, Xu Shaoyu called. Yan Ruo pressed the answer button and returned to her small office.

"Hello."

[Did you receive the clothes I sent you?] Behind Xu Shaoyu's voice on the phone, there was a whirring sound of wind, as if he were outside.

"Got it. It's so cold and windy, why are you still running outside?"

Yan Ruo was a little worried because her broken ribs had not yet healed completely.

"Be careful not to catch a cold. You must not cough or sneeze now."
