Chapter 60 Eating is like working overtime!

Xu Shaoyu's back froze for a moment, then he turned around as if nothing had happened.

Just seeing Yan Ruo and Zhou Jiannan looking at each other, with an expression that seemed to be about to smile, their faces were tense and as black as the bottom of a pot!

For the rest of the journey, Xu Shaoyu was surrounded by a low pressure and did not say a word.

Instead, it was Zhou Jiannan who asked Yan Ruo about his next plan.

After receiving guidance from the big boss, Yan Ruo had many new ideas. She thought that Zhou Jiannan had been working in the county town for many years and had a wide network of contacts.

I couldn't wait to share it with him.

Seeing them talking and laughing, Xu Shaoyu pursed his thin lips into a downward arc, and his expression became increasingly cold.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Yan Ruo stopped and looked at Xu Shaoyu with some concern.

"We're going to take a shortcut, it might be a little difficult to walk, do you want me to pull you along?"

The coldness on Xu Shaoyu's face faded slightly, and without saying a word, he stretched out his hand.

Actually, there is no need to pull it up now!

Yan Ruo's original intention was to lend a hand when they encountered a difficult situation, but when she met President Xu's cold face, she very tactfully held his hand.

Looking at the two people's hands tightly holding each other, Zhou Jiannan wanted to ask him to come, but when he met Xu Shaoyu's cold eyes, he couldn't say anything.

What's going on? Why is this man so powerful?

Zhou Jiannan had also seen the world and had met countless high-ranking leaders who came to inspect, but none of them could compare to the oppressive feeling this man gave him.

No one spoke for the next few minutes, and only the chirping of insects and birds could be heard.

The path leading up the mountain was dug out many years ago by people to facilitate firewood cutting. It was simple and steep, but Yan Ruo had been climbing up and down since he was a child, and it was extremely easy for him to walk.

The mountain where her family grows fruit trees is not far away, just a slope away.

At this time of year, the peach trees are already full of green fruits.

There are golden peach gums on the trunks of many peach trees. Yan Ruo let go of Xu Shaoyu's hand and helped Zhou Jiannan pick the peach gums.

Xu Shaoyu followed Yan Ruo with his hands in his pockets like an overseer.

People in confinement cannot eat too much peach gum, so they soon found enough and went home.

When going down the mountain, Xu Shaoyu continued to hold Yan Ruo's hand.

When passing a fork in the road, Yan Ru invited Zhou Jiannan, who had been silent for a long time, to her home to drink some water and take a rest.

Zhou Jiannan glanced at the man whose eyes had never left Yan Ruo.

He forced a smile and said, "No, my mom is still waiting for the peach gum. I'm going back first! If you have any problems at work, be sure to come to me!"

Looking at Zhou Jiannan's receding back, I thought about the change in his attitude.

Yan Ruo thought, maybe he saw something! But he should not tell her nonsense!

"You're so reluctant! You're still watching even after everyone's gone!"

"Ah?" Yan Ruo came back to her senses and met Xu Shaoyu's displeased eyes. She felt that he was really weird today.

No one knew where Chen Che had gone, and he didn't even reply to messages I sent him.

Xu Shaoyu still made dinner.

Seeing that the dishes were almost cooked, Yan Ruo couldn't help but call Chen Che.

"You're yelling when it's time to eat! Are you an elementary school student?"

Chen Che said with a guilty conscience, "I'm having dinner at a friend's house tonight. I'll be back later!"

"Why, other people's food tastes better?"

"Auntie, this isn't my fault. Eating in front of my boss's face feels like working overtime! I'm about to get indigestion! Didn't you notice I didn't eat much at lunch?"

Yan Ruo hung up the phone, feeling that Chen Che was really ungrateful.

As the head of the Xu family, CEO Xu personally cooks for the family. This is something others wouldn't even dare to think about. What a rare opportunity! He actually dared to despise it. He's so young and ignorant.

Especially after dinner, when she went to wash the dishes, her dissatisfaction with Chen Che reached its peak.

Seeing the dissatisfaction on her face, Xu Shaoyu let out a very light smile, "I'll go wash it!"

"No need! I'll go!" Yan Ruo quickly cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen.

Her family has always emphasized division of labor and cooperation. The dishes were cooked by Xu Shaoyu, and she was not so shameless as to let him wash the dishes.

After dinner, the two sat on the sofa, one watching TV while the other worked on the computer.

Just like the countless nights in North City over the past two years.

It was past eight o'clock, and Chen Che still hadn't come back.

After sending a message urging him to go home early, Yan Ruo said hello to Xu Shaoyu and went to take a shower.

Xu Shaoyu shifted his gaze from the computer and looked at Yan Ruo's back, his eyes suddenly darkening.

When Yan Ruo came out of the shower, she didn't see Xu Shaoyu on the sofa.

You know, when he was in North City, except for special times, he would voluntarily work overtime until at least ten o'clock every night.

Besides, he went out this afternoon and wasted some time.

Are you not feeling well?

Yan Ruo wiped her hair twice with a towel and hurried upstairs.

The door of the guest room where Xu Shaoyu lived was half-open, and a beam of light squeezed out from the gap.

Without thinking too much, he pushed the door open and walked in, bumping into Xu Shaoyu who was walking out.

The force of the collision caused Yan Ruo to fall backwards. His upper body was unstable and his feet were slipping. He was about to fall.

Fortunately, Xu Shaoyu reacted in time and reached out to support her waist, which helped her stabilize her body.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Shaoyu's voice, cold but with a hint of concern, sounded above his head.

Seeing that he was fine, Yan Ru quickly took two steps back and stepped out of his arms.

I didn't have the nerve to say I was worried about him, so I just said something random, "I suddenly remembered I forgot to ask you a question this afternoon!"

"What's the problem?"

Yan Ruo raised her hand and touched her neck, her mind racing. This was a bullshit excuse to begin with. How could she know what the problem was?

"Just now I bumped into something and I forgot about it!"

Meeting Xu Shaoyu's indescribable gaze, Yan Ruo wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Unfortunately, her house was newly renovated a few years ago, so not only the floor cracks, but even the decorative seams are flawless.

Yan Ruo, "You go ahead and do your work. I'll come find you when I think of something!"

She said as she hurried to her room across the street. Unexpectedly, Xu Shaoyu also followed her into her room.

Thinking of what he did to her last night when he pressed her on the bed, Yan Ru felt a little flustered.

"What are you doing here?"

"What do you think?" Xu Shaoyu's voice was low and he deliberately dragged out the last syllable with a teasing tone.

Realizing that he was trying to get closer to her, Yan Ruo had no choice but to start backing away until she fell into the chair behind her.

Xu Shaoyu placed his hands on the armrests on both sides of the seat, veins surging on his hands, and slowly lowered his upper body, his collar falling down.

From Yan Ruo's perspective, the outline of the strong chest muscles was clearly visible.

Yan Ruo swallowed her saliva, met Xu Shaoyu's interested eyes, and said with bluffing:

"Chen Che just sent a message saying he's on his way back. Don't mess around!"

Xu Shaoyu chuckled, "How do you want me to mess around?"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and brushed Yan Ruo's cheek with the back of his hand. He picked up the hair dryer from the dressing table behind her, stood up, took two steps back, and looked at her with a smile.

Yan Ruo avoided his gaze unnaturally and wiped her hair with a towel.

"I didn't think of anything!"

Xu Shaoyu's lips curled slightly, his expression relaxed, "Just pretend you didn't think about it!"

What do you mean by just treat it as such? Yan Ru pouted in dissatisfaction.

Xu Shaoyu turned on the hair dryer and said with a look of concern and a hint of blame: "You're running around without drying your hair. Do you want to catch a cold?"

Noticing his fingers running through her hair and occasionally touching her ears, Yan Ruo tilted her head a little embarrassedly.

"I'd better do it myself!"

But soon, she found that she was too relieved!
