Chapter 40 Have all the misunderstandings been cleared up?

When there was a knock on the car window, Xu Shaoyu had just finished calling Special Assistant Liu.

He lowered the window and looked at Yan Ruo outside with a gentle expression, "Why don't you just get in the car?"

Yan Ruo didn't dare to look him in the eye. "I have something to do later. How about you drive back first?"

"Heh! There's no need to destroy the bridge so quickly!" The expression on Xu Shaoyu's face gradually disappeared.

"Where do you want me to go back to? North City? South City? Or your home?"

Yan Ruo also knew that this was not a very authentic way to do it, so she spoke with a slightly stiff smile.

"I don't mean anything else, it's true..."

Before he could finish his words, an old lady appeared from the side. She immediately stood up and tried to block Xu Shaoyu in the car, but she couldn't.

"Grandma, why are you here? Didn't I tell you to wait for me over there?"

Grandma looked back and forth between the two of them with a smile, "Ruozai, who is he?"

Yan Ruo glanced at Xu Shaoyu quickly, "Colleague!" "Friend!" Two voices sounded at the same time!

Yan Ruo "..."

"Can you understand what we're saying here?"

"I don't understand, I guessed it!" Xu Shaoyu glanced at her, "It seems I guessed right!"

He opened the car door and said, "Get in!" Then he looked at the old lady who was looking at them curiously, "Grandma, you get in too. We'll drive you there!"

Yan Ruo's expression froze, "This is my grandma! How did you know I was going to see her off?"

"That's just a guess!" Xu Shaoyu raised his chin. "Why don't you get in the car? Are you planning to take the old man home on that scooter? Do you know how unsafe that is?"

Yan Ruo glanced at the electric scooter parked not far away with a conflicted look, then looked at her grandmother who was still smiling at them.

After thinking for a long time, he opened the passenger door and said, "Grandma, get in the car first! I'll go get something!"

After putting all the fruits he had bought earlier into the trunk, thinking it would be convenient to drive, Yan Ruo went to buy some milk and other food for the elderly.

When she got back in the car, she discovered that her grandmother was chatting happily with Xu Shaoyu!

Yan Ruo's grandmother's house is very close to the town, less than twenty minutes' walk, and even faster by car.

After sending grandma home, he and Xu Shaoyu moved things into the house and left.

Originally, grandma wanted to invite them to have lunch. Under normal circumstances, Yan Ruo would certainly not refuse. However, when she saw Xu Shaoyu standing aside, she thought it was better to forget it!

Let’s solve this problem first!

When they reached the fork in the road in town, Yan Ruo pulled over and parked the car.

Turning to look at Xu Shaoyu who had already started working in the back seat, he felt helpless.

"Where are you going next?"

"Where do you want me to go?"

Yan Ruo choked up, "You're so busy at work, you should go back to North City earlier! I'll call Special Assistant Liu and ask him to come..."

"Yan Ruo!" Xu Shaoyu said in a gloomy tone. "Do you really want me to leave?"

Through the rearview mirror, Yan Ruo met his gaze directly.

"We're breaking up! To avoid unnecessary trouble, let's see each other less often in the future!"

Xu Shaoyu's expression obviously turned cold.

"Breaking up, you mean leaving a breakup letter and then walking away without saying goodbye? Yan Ruo, you're being so irresponsible!"

"If I'm being irresponsible, then what about you being secretly with me while getting engaged to someone else?"

"Is this a misunderstanding?"

Yan Ruo was stunned. "Misunderstanding? Your mother has publicly admitted it, and you have never denied it! Now you actually say it's just a misunderstanding?"

What she didn't say was that Xu Shaoyu had never been close to any woman before.

Even if there is cooperation, according to his personality, he rarely sees her unless it is necessary.

But his thoughts on Yun were obviously different.

Ever since the two companies confirmed their cooperation, Yun Zhinian has often come to Xu's and stayed in his office for half a day.

Not to mention that he would help her block the alcohol and take her to meet his friends.

Thinking of this, even though Yan Ruo had already decided to let it go, he still couldn't help but feel a blockage in his chest and indescribable discomfort.

"Xu Shaoyu, I don't know what these past two years mean to you! In my opinion, even though we haven't made it public, we can still be considered to be in a relationship on equal terms!"

"If you respect me, you should tell me in advance if you have other intentions and plans!"

Seeing that her eyes were red as she spoke, Xu Shaoyu sighed helplessly.

"Believe me! This is really a misunderstanding!"

"I admit that my family did plan to form a marriage alliance with the Yun family before, but I didn't agree! I will get what I want on my own, not by selling my marriage."

He reached out and took her hand, holding it tightly in his palm.

"Ruoruo, I'm sorry! I didn't explain it clearly to you when you called me before."

So it was just a rumor? Yan Ruo twitched the corner of his mouth.

Then what was the entanglement and torment she had been going through during that time? Was it just asking for trouble? Yan Ruo pulled his hand back.

"I am also responsible for this! I am always avoiding because I am afraid of hearing what I don't want to hear."

Xu Shaoyu's expression softened slightly. "Then are you willing to go back to North City with me?"

In his opinion, the misunderstanding was resolved and everything should be back on track, but he didn't expect Yan Ru to refuse!

"No!" A faint smile appeared on her lips.

Xu Shaoyu couldn't understand at all, "Why? Didn't I make it clear?"

Yan Ruo's eyelids drooped, and there was an emotion hidden in his eyes that others could not understand.

After a while, she got out of the car, walked to the back, and opened the door. "Would you like to walk around town with me?"

Xu Shaoyu didn't say anything, but got out of the car without hesitation.

It was not even eleven o'clock yet, and the once bustling market was already deserted. Only a few scattered stalls remained, and unwanted vegetable leaves were waiting to be cleaned.

Yan Ruo stopped, with memories in her eyes.

"When I was little, I loved going to the market with my grandmother. She would sell freshly milled rice or vegetables from the fields, and she would use the money to buy food for me."

"What about you? What was your favorite thing to do as a child?"

Xu Shaoyu turned his head and met her undisguised gaze. His heart moved slightly. He always felt that what she wanted to say was not as simple as asking about his childhood.

But he still tried to recall, "When I was little, I loved it most when my father took me out for a ride or when we went on a family trip!"

Yan Ruo smiled and said, "I guess so. But you see, this is the gap between us!"

"You should have noticed earlier that I've actually liked you for a long time! If it weren't for the accident two years ago, this love would have always been mine alone."

A flash of realization crossed Xu Shaoyu's face. "Is it because of these so-called differences?"

"Yes, it's because of these differences!" Now that things have come to this, Yan Ruo has nothing to hide.

Just take this opportunity to lay everything out!

"You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but I grew up playing in the mud; you shop at high-end malls, but I shop at rural markets; you buy things based solely on whether you like them, but I consider whether they are practical; you never worry about the price, but I look at it first."

Realizing what she wanted to say, Xu Shaoyu frowned!

He wanted to interrupt, but Yan Ruo raised his hand to stop him.
