Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Proposal
Chapter 53
It was indeed getting late. Zhuo Ming was in the hospital tonight, so Ruan Yan went back to rest.
Jia Yanyuan said as a matter of course: "Xiaoyan, I'll take you home."
Before Ruan Yan could answer, another indifferent voice rang out.
"Let me take you there." Lu Peishi picked up his suit jacket, looked down at Ruan Yan, and completely ignored Jia Yanyuan next to him.
Knowing they were neighbors, Jia Yanyuan didn't think much of it and just said subconsciously, "It's okay, Mr. Lu, I won't bother you. I'll take it."
Lu Peishi didn't say anything, just waiting for Ruan Yan's answer.
Ruan Yan, who was caught in the middle, had always leaned towards one side, but this time it didn't work, and reason quickly prevailed.
She glanced at Wen Ying lying on the hospital bed, then turned around and smiled nonchalantly, "Thank you, Mr. Lu. I'll take Brother Ayan's car back."
Lu Peishi still didn't say anything, but the veins on the hand holding his coat bulged silently.
Looking at Ruan Yan and the man walking away side by side, he felt a burning sensation in his heart.
The intimate scenes between Ruan Yan and Mr. Jia tonight appeared before his eyes frame by frame.
It was as if chili water was dropped into a boiling oil pan, and the scorching hot oil crackled and exploded uncontrollably.
If he continues to hesitate and sit back, he will probably face similar situations more and more often in the future.
Watching her smile sweetly to another man, letting her be embraced by another man...even if her feelings for that man were false, he couldn't stand it.
Just thinking about these scenes made him jealous and almost crazy.
He had to do something.
…
"Brother Ayan, thank you for sending me back."
At the entrance of Ruan Mansion, Ruan Yan spoke gently to the person next to her.
"You're still so reserved with me," Jia Yanyuan smiled. "We don't need to say thank you to each other, okay?"
As he spoke, he reached out and gently lifted a few strands of hair by her ear, looking at her with bright eyes.
Ruan Yan tilted her head, her voice still soft: "Brother Yan, I'm very tired today and want to go back and rest early."
Jia Yanyuan remembered what she had done this afternoon, so he said considerately, "You've worked hard, go in and rest."
As the car drove away from Bijiawan, Jia Yanyuan couldn't wait to make a phone call.
"The latest news is that Ruan Yan went to Woqi Technology this afternoon. It's very likely related to the new retail project."
The man on the other end of the phone was one of Jia Yanyuan's close friends and also the heir of Hengli Group, Yang Zhitao.
There was a lot of noise in the background from Yang Zhitao's side. He waved away the soft and fragrant woman who was clinging to his arm, strode out of the box, and closed the door to block out the noisy noise in the room.
"Did she tell you?" Yang Zhitao asked.
Jia Yanyuan replied: "No, she didn't tell me that. I discovered it myself today."
Yang Zhitao continued to ask: "Did she say anything about this project or Woqi?"
"Not really," Jia Yanyuan felt a little unhappy when he thought of Ruan Yan's silence about this matter. "I guess Wen Ying insisted on keeping it a secret. Although she still has reservations about me, don't worry, I'll take care of her soon."
Yang Zhitao thought about it and, from another perspective, Ruan Yan's attitude towards Jia Yanyuan actually made him feel safer. If she told Jia Yanyuan all her plans at once, he would become suspicious and wonder if it was a trap set by Wen Ying on purpose.
At present, it seems that the information Jia Yanyuan received is quite reliable and is similar to what he expected.
It seems that he has to hurry up and negotiate further conditions with the people from Woqi.
"Okay, remember to inform me as soon as there is any latest development," said Yang Zhitao.
"Of course, of course. Keep in touch," Jia Yanyuan couldn't help but say, "Brother, let's work together for the next two years..."
Yang Zhitao said readily, "Don't worry. As long as you help me get things done, the cooperation with Hongsheng in the next two to three years will be just a matter of a word from me."
Jia Yanyuan, who is in urgent need of proving himself, is extremely eager to get this big order from Hengli. If he can get this cooperation, not only his biased father, but also everyone in the company will look at him differently.
After receiving Yang Zhitao's promise, Jia Yanyuan became even more excited, as if he could see himself slapping everyone in the face. He said cheerfully and confidently, "No problem! I'll find a way to get more key information from Ruan Yan!"
Yang Zhitao chuckled softly.
On the other side, after getting out of the car and watching Jia Yanyuan's car leave, Ruan Yan's shoulders finally relaxed.
When this is over, she will definitely solve this annoying trouble as soon as possible.
He turned around and went back to Ruan Mansion. Before he took two steps, he saw a tall figure walking out from behind the bushes at the door.
"Mr. Lu..." Ruan Yan was slightly stunned.
Lu Peishi, bathed in the cool moonlight, walked slowly towards her.
"Did you just get home too?" She had just stayed in Jia Yanyuan's car for a while and didn't notice when Lu Peishi came back.
"I've been back for a while." When Lu Peishi thought about what he was going to do next in the hospital, his adrenaline suddenly rose and he couldn't help but drive all the way back.
The two stood face to face, speechless for a moment.
Ruan Yan felt that his expression seemed a little strange.
After waiting for a long time without hearing him speak, Ruan Yan spoke first.
"Mr. Lu, if there's nothing else, I'll just..."
"Let's get married."
? ?
After hearing such a nonsensical sentence, Ruan Yan instantly suspected that she was hallucinating.
Her tone was full of disbelief: "What did you say?"
"I say," Lu Peishi lowered his head and repeated word by word, "Let's get married!"
Ruan Yan still couldn't believe what she heard. He said it for no reason, as casually and simply as if he was saying "Let's have dinner together."
"Lu Peishi," this was the first time Ruan Yan called him by his full name, "Do you know what you are saying?"
"You don't like that man at all. You are forced to play the role of his girlfriend because of your current status. Don't you feel painful every time you face him?"
Ruan Yan was silent.
Lu Peishi stared at her: "To me, it makes no difference whether you are from the Ruan family, the Chen family, or the Lin family. No matter who you are, I don't mind at all."
Ruan Yan felt that he was abnormal tonight: "What suddenly stimulated you?"
"Am I wrong? I don't know why you want to disguise your current identity, but wouldn't your situation be safer if there was one more person to cover for you?"
Ruan Yan also took the risk. Meeting his gaze, she directly asked, "Since you knew I was a fake, why did you help me instead of exposing me directly?"
Lu Peishi was confused and asked, "Why should I expose you?"
His voice trembled slightly with excitement. "Since you like me and I like you, why should we waste each other's time and energy? Why not just skip all those boring misunderstandings and explanations and get married directly? You can still be yourself. Wouldn't that be great?"
?
Today he gave her one round of shock after another, and Ruan Yan was so shocked that she couldn't react for a while.
She tried to grasp the key information from his long speech.
Did you hear that right? Lu Peishi just said that he likes me?
"Don't you think you're tired of acting like this every day? In every way, I'm more suitable to be your significant other than that Jia. He can't match my family background, and he's not even half as capable as me, not to mention my status and financial resources. Whatever your plans are for joining the Ruan family, I can help you. Can that Jia?"
This was the safest and most satisfactory solution he had come up with after careful consideration. He really didn't want to see her being affectionate with other men anymore, otherwise he would really go crazy.
"Marrying me will not only solidify your status, but the union of our two families can also save the Ruan family from crisis. It's the best of both worlds, so why not do it?"
The man's voice was magnetic and deep, his dark pupils staring at her intently, the white moonlight making his outline look even softer.
Ruan Yan stared at him quietly. His sudden confession, his repeated statements that he didn't care about her secret past, and his clear and sincere eyes were enough to make her heart beat like a deer.
He was right. The marriage between the Ruan and Lu families could maximize the business value of both families and would be of great advantage for their long-term development.
In addition, with him and the Lu family protecting her, her fake identity can be better disguised and protected, and it will be more convenient for her to find out the truth of that year.
These benefits are indeed very tempting, and to be honest, she is a little tempted.
"I appreciate what you said to me tonight," Ruan Yan said, "but, I'm sorry, I refuse."
Lu Peishi's expression froze. Had he heard correctly? He had expressed his feelings sincerely, and proposed with enough sincerity, yet she had rejected him so casually?
This unexpected response hit him hard.
There was silence for an unknown amount of time.
He heard his own voice sound calmly: "Okay, I understand."
Looking at his expression, Ruan Yan almost wanted to say something: "Boss Lu, I..."
"It's getting late, go back and rest. You have to go to the hospital tomorrow." Lu Peishi interrupted her.
Although it was embarrassing to be rejected, he still wanted to maintain his last bit of dignity and stubbornness.
Lu Peishi went home calmly, changed his clothes calmly, went to the bathroom calmly to wash up, and calmly...
When he realized he had squeezed toothpaste onto his phone, he looked down and saw that he hadn't changed his slippers and had put on his suit jacket again...
Looking at all the chaos and confusion before his eyes, one of his dysfunctional nerves finally returned to its place.
Like a balloon that had expanded to its limit and was punctured by a needle, he threw the toothpaste and cell phone aside in frustration and walked out dejectedly.
He sat back on the sofa with a frown on his face, a belated deep sadness enveloping him.
He stared at the ceiling with empty eyes.
What exactly went wrong?
Didn’t she say she likes me too?
