"Thank you, Lao Yu, for not marrying me."
Those roommates snatched the video and posted it in their group chat.
"I'm going to pursue her, Lao Yu, give me some advice."
Because of the time difference, Yu Hengze replied much later.
"Why is she still there?!"
Less than a minute later, Yu Hengze withdrew his message again.
Then, in the middle of the night, he called Chu Xinxin directly.
Chu Xinxin had forgotten to turn off her phone's silent mode. After being woken up, she groggily answered, "Hello..."
"Why are you still going to bars to dance? Where's the check I gave you?"
Chu Xinxin's voice was thick with a nasal tone: "The check? Dad took it to pay off the debt... Who are you?"
"I am......"
Yu Hengze said two words but couldn't continue. Now that the debt was paid off, there was no relationship between them.
What does it matter to him what happens to Chu Xinxin?
He has no right to interfere with her.
Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Chu Xinxin said, "Hey..."
The next second, the phone emitted a steady breathing sound.
She fell asleep.
Yu Hengze hung up the phone.
I was distracted when I accompanied Yang Li to the meeting in the afternoon.
Yang Li noticed this and told him to cheer up.
This time, I met with the CEO of a large company. If we can secure this collaboration, it will be enough to support their entire research institute for several years.
"Sorry." Yu Hengze rubbed his temples and helped Yang Li open the conference room door.
"Professor Yang, it's been a long time. You still look as charming as ever."
Upon hearing that sound, Yu Hengze felt his blood freeze.
He blocked the doorway, and the person behind him said, "Please come in, sir."
Yang Li and the others waited for him to go in first. Yu Hengze slowly turned around and looked at the face that was exactly the same as the one in his memory.
"Dad, how long has it been?"
......
Throughout the entire meeting, Yu Feng didn't dare to look at Yu Hengze's face.
Yang Li also realized something, and he personally gave the explanations later on.
The meeting ended with a transaction price that exceeded the budget.
Yu Hengze did not go back with Yang Li.
He remained in the conference room.
After everyone had left, Yu Feng cautiously called out, "Xiao Ze."
Yu Hengze only had two words: "Explanation".
"You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go first..."
"I'll explain!"
Yu Hengze was furious. He and his mother were living in dire straits in China. If it weren't for Chu Xinxin's appearance, he or his mother might have had their hands or feet chopped off by loan sharks long ago.
As it turns out, the real culprit started over in the US and even became the CEO.
But he never went back to see them even once!
"I......"
Yu Feng opened his mouth, but the high spirits he had when they first met were gone.
He hung his head, looking like the most defeated loser: "I... I have psychological stress. As soon as I set foot on C country's soil, I tremble all over, to the point that I faint..."
"What about the phone? Can't you make a call?"
"I dare not... Just thinking about it makes me... If you don't believe me, I can show you my treatment report!"
Yu Feng grabbed his hand with an excited expression.
"Why don't you react like this when you see me now?" Yu Hengze shook him off. "Coward, you disgust me."
Yu Hengze pushed open the door and went out.
Two days later, Yang Li gave him a sum of money: "President Yu asked me to give this to you."
Yu Hengze glanced at the number on it, but didn't take it. He said, "It's too little."
Yang Li: "He also paid back the money you borrowed from me."
Yu Hengze then accepted it.
However, he received another sum of money that same evening.
Yu Hengze felt no psychological burden, asked Yang Li for leave, and returned to China that same day.
As soon as he got off the plane, he rented a shared car at the airport to pick up Chu Xinxin from get off work in the dark.
"Didn't you go back to the US?"
Chu Xinxin was surprised for a moment when she saw him.
"I just remembered there's something I haven't done yet."
"What......"
Yu Hengze took a document from the back seat of the car: "I just came over. The print shop next door is still open. I'll take a look, and if there are no problems, I'll sign it."
Chu Xinxin's heart skipped a beat. She opened the document and, sure enough, found an unsigned "Life Assistant Contract".
Even the terms and conditions are exactly the same as her previous one.
Head up, chest out, smile.
Chu Xinxin, risking her dignity as a movie queen, turned pale in an instant.
"I... I need to think about it."
The sentence trembled as many times as it contained the number of words.
Coupled with her expression of wanting to cry but holding back tears, Yu Hengze felt a pang of conscience and wondered if he had gone too far.
"No, we need to sign now."
Yu Hengze turned his face away, not wanting to soften his heart.
The sound of a pen tip scratching on paper came from the side.
Chu Xinxin said timidly, "I've signed it."
Yu Hengze snatched the pen from her hand, quickly signed his name, and then tossed the contract to the back of the table: "Is tonight okay?"
"Huh?" Chu Xinxin covered her chest with her hands. "What do you want to do?"
"It's exactly what you think."
Yu Hengze suppressed his anger and patiently drove the car to the hotel.
Chu Xinxin stood at the door, hesitating whether to go in or not, when Yu Hengze grabbed her hand and pulled her inside.
The room was dark, with the lights off.
Yu Hengze's breathing was heavy, and the hand he was holding felt like it was on fire, making her palms sweat.
"Chu Xinxin".
Yu Hengze called her name softly.
"Hmm..." Chu Xinxin struggled for a moment, but couldn't break free.
Are you scared?
"If it were you, I wouldn't be afraid."
Chu Xinxin rarely spoke the truth, but Yu Hengze thought she was joking.
He inserted the room card into the slot, and the room immediately lit up.
"It's late, let's get some rest."
Yu Hengze let go of her.
Chu Xinxin didn't have any clean clothes, so Yu Hengze went downstairs to buy her some.
When she returned, Chu Xinxin was sitting on the sofa wearing a bathrobe, drying her hair.
Yu Hengze also brought her some wontons.
The two sat on the same side of the dining table, and Yu Hengze was finally able to share the same food with Chu Xinxin.
He placed his hand on the back of Chu Xinxin's chair, the two of them very close, and he finally relaxed.
"Can we not go to the bar tomorrow?"
Yu Hengze asked.
"good."
Chu Xinxin is very well-behaved.
Yu Hengze's eyes darkened, and he continued, "I'll find a place tomorrow and move out to live with me."
"Um."
Chu Xinxin scooped up a wonton, its white and tender skin contrasting beautifully with her bright red lips. Yu Hengze said, "I want to eat one too."
Chu Xinxin scooped up another one and held it to his lips.
Yu Hengze grabbed her hand: "I'd rather eat this one..."
The words disappeared between their lips...
Yu Hengze squeezed his lips into Chu Xinxin's mouth, bit off half a piece, and then pushed it away a little: "The taste is indeed very good."
After saying that, he kissed her again.
Those large hands gripped the back of Chu Xinxin's head, giving her no chance to escape, and then tightened their grip on her slender waist, pushing her towards them.
"Chu Xinxin, hug me."
