Chapter 103 Good Boyfriend!
Xu Shaoyu raised the corners of his lips, his eyes filled with determination. "We are together."
Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes to hide the panic in her eyes. Her voice was light and clear, "What does being together mean?"
"Being together means getting engaged or married to me in a year, depending on your preference."
Yan Ruo suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes widened. It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Maybe, in less than half a year you'll find that you don't like me that much, or maybe you'll meet someone more suitable."
"You still don't believe me." Xu Shaoyu frowned.
Yan Ruo always stubbornly believed that they had no future, and no matter what he did or said, this idea seemed to never change.
He is so stubborn that he is harder to deal with than those old foxes in the business world.
Yan Ruo's expression flickered with discomfort, and she didn't dare to look into Xu Shaoyu's eyes.
His slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the sofa, making a clicking sound. The two of them remained in a stalemate for a few seconds before Xu Shaoyu slowly spoke.
"Although I firmly believe that what you said will never happen. But if you are really worried..."
He reached out and lifted Yan Ruo's chin, making her look into his eyes.
"Let's give it a try for a year. If you still insist on your current idea after a year, then forget it."
Yan Ruo thought about it and felt that this was a good idea.
According to her cowardly behavior, this matter always drags on, making people feel uneasy.
"How do you try?"
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Xu Shaoyu's expression relaxed slightly, his eyes became deep, and his voice softened a lot.
"I want you to be a good girlfriend for the next year and not run away or disappear at every turn."
Yan Ruo frowned slightly, "What does it mean to fulfill one's duties?"
"Simple!" Xu Shaoyu started making requests without thinking too much.
"From today on, you must send me at least ten messages a day and call me every two days. You can't disappear. You must listen to everything I say. The key is not to act dumb."
"I'm not pretending to be stupid!" Yan Ruo retorted subconsciously.
Xu Shaoyu glanced at her, his expression seemed to say, "Look, you're just playing dumb now."
Yan Ruo pursed her lips, but couldn't help but ask tentatively, "What if I can't do it?"
A dangerous light flashed in Xu Shaoyu's eyes. He tilted his head and slowly moved closer, enunciating each word.
"Then this agreement is invalid. You can either come back to work at Xu's or go home and farm."
Yan Ruo said dissatisfiedly, "You just said you wouldn't use this method against me, and now you are threatening me again."
"This isn't a threat, just a reminder of what to do in the coming year, girlfriend."
There was a faint smile in his eyes, like moonlight flowing over glazed tiles, and his expression was rarely warm. He deliberately dragged out the word "girlfriend" and spoke in a gentle and lingering tone.
Yan Ruo turned her head slightly, her fingertips unconsciously clenching the phone, her heart beating inexplicably as if it were being pulled by a thin thread.
Just take it one year at a time. It’s not like we can’t afford to gamble.
And what else could she do if she didn't gamble? Xu Shaoyu wasn't a very patient person. If she went against him, she would be the only one who would suffer.
Squeezing her fingertips hard, Yan Ruo raised her head and looked directly into Xu Shaoyu's eyes, "Okay, boyfriend."
"But there's one thing I must say in advance. For the sake of our friendship over the years, if you decide to change someone midway, you must let me know in advance to avoid any awkwardness later."
He said so much, but he still hadn't forgotten it. Xu Shaoyu's expression tensed for a moment, suppressing his dissatisfaction in his heart, and gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry, that day will never come."
Mingming had lived here with Xu Shaoyu for two years and was very familiar with every corner, but after falling silent, Yan Ruo actually felt a little uncomfortable.
On the contrary, Xu Shaoyu achieved his goal and exuded a happy aura.
"The new season's clothes were just delivered a while ago, so don't go back to the hotel tonight."
Yan Ruo immediately refused, "No! I'm worried about Xiao Tao being alone in the hotel."
Seeing her alert look, Xu Shaoyu pinched her cheek in amusement and said, "We've done what we should do countless times. Why do you have that expression?"
"Shut up!" Yan Ruo's face flushed. "I'm worried about Xiao Tao, and I have to go to the Expo early tomorrow morning. Hurry and send me back."
Xu Shaoyu suggested that she stay here simply because he felt it was too late and the hotel's environment was average. Since she insisted, he didn't force her to stay.
"You're really rude when you order me around. You've adapted well to your position."
"When did you become so talkative?"
"I used to talk too little, so you started to have wild thoughts."
When she arrived at the door of the hotel room, Yan Ruo called Xiao Tao, but she didn't know what this girl was doing. She didn't answer the phone for a long time.
Just when she was worried that something had happened to Xiao Tao and was considering whether to go downstairs to ask the front desk to open the door, the call was finally connected.
Xiao Tao said a little embarrassedly, "Sister Ruoruo, I'm taking a shower, please wait for me."
Yan Ruo finally felt relieved, "It's okay, take your time to wash, don't rush."
Xu Shaoyu took out his phone and sent two messages. He only spoke after she ended the call.
"I'll arrange for a driver to take you to the venue tomorrow morning."
"You mustn't."
"What? Your girlfriend is being polite again now?"
"I won't be polite with you!" Yan Ruo explained, "There will be a huge traffic jam around the expo venue tomorrow. We can take the subway. It's fast and there's no need to worry about traffic jams."
Xu Shaoyu nodded and accepted this statement.
"I have an apartment next to the expo venue. I'll have it ready tomorrow. You and your assistant will live there for the next few days."
Yan Ruo had no objection and nodded immediately, "Okay, thank you."
After waiting for a few minutes, Xiao Tao hurriedly opened the door with his hair still dripping.
As soon as Xu Shaoyu left the hotel, Su Yue called him.
It was so late, and it was obvious that there was nothing important. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely ignore it, but he was in a good mood today.
"Hello."
[Second brother, hurry up and come to Feise to persuade Song Yichuan. If it's too late, he'll become He Zaiyun's mistress!]
"Song Yichuan, is He Zaiyun's mistress?"
Xu Shaoyu didn't know how these words were put together. He choked for a few seconds before asking in confusion.
"When did He Zaiyun get married?"
Su Yue, [How would I know? Anyway, Song Yichuan said she's married and her child is already several years old.]
No wonder Song Yichuan has been sitting in the corner drinking alone today and talking so harshly. I thought he just had a conflict with He Zaiyun.
Thinking of how Song Yichuan looked like he was dying a few years ago after He Zaiyun went abroad and couldn't find him, Xu Shaoyu couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch his nose.
"Don't let him drink too much. I'll be right there."
