Chapter 113: Unable to suppress emotions!
Xu Shaoyu didn't even raise his head, his eyes still fixed on the document in his hand, and there was a rare hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"What could make Special Assistant Liu so hesitant?"
Special Assistant Liu walked back into the office with heavy steps and a serious expression.
He met Xu Shaoyu when he was studying abroad. They were superiors and subordinates at work, but they were also good friends in private.
He is also one of the rare people who witnessed the emotional changes between Xu Shaoyu and Yan Ruo throughout the whole process.
In the past, Xu Shaoyu was completely focused on work and was slow to respond emotionally, only acting according to his inner instincts.
In the past few months, he witnessed Xu Shaoyu's transformation and knew how important Yan Ruo was to Xu Shaoyu.
However, whether as a subordinate or a friend, he could not hide this matter.
Special Assistant Liu swallowed his saliva, made up his mind, and spoke quickly with his eyes closed.
"Mr. Xu, I ran into Miss Yan while having lunch with my girlfriend at noon. She was also having lunch with a man in that restaurant, and they were acting very intimately."
As soon as he finished speaking, the warmth in Xu Shaoyu's eyes disappeared and was instantly tinged with frost. Special Assistant Liu felt that the skin on his face was about to be stung by his cold gaze.
But he gritted his teeth and continued, "I also took a picture and just sent it to your phone."
"There may be a misunderstanding, but I suggest you ask Miss Yan for clarification."
Xu Shaoyu looked at him deeply before slowly reaching out to pick up his phone and clicking on the photo.
Because of the angle and distance, the photo only captured the man's side, which was half blocked by a passing waiter.
Yan Ruo's face was very clear. In the photo, she raised her hand and placed it on the shoulder of the man next to her, with a bright smile on her face.
Xu Shaoyu clenched his phone, tightened his jaw, and stared at the photos in the phone. After a long time, he slowly spoke.
"Who is this man?"
Thinking of Chen Che whom he met in the technical department in the afternoon, Special Assistant Liu was very glad that his face could not be seen clearly in this photo.
Otherwise, if the boss was an employee of Xu’s, I can’t imagine what he would do.
Maybe tomorrow's headline will be, "Xu's CEO brawls with company employee, suspected of cheating?"
Thinking of this, Special Assistant Liu felt a chill in his heart and quickly lowered his head, "I don't know him. I haven't seen him before." He had only met him twice today.
Xu Shaoyu's brows were furrowed, his eyes were dim and unclear, and there was no warmth on his tense face.
"Find someone to investigate this man's background and find him for me."
Special Assistant Liu's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly advised, "Mr. Xu, the important thing now is not this man, but Miss Yan."
Xu Shaoyu raised his eyes, with blood still hanging at the corners of his eyes, which made Special Assistant Liu's scalp tingle.
He now regrets saying this.
But at this point, he could only continue speaking under his boss's cold gaze.
"It seems that this gentleman and Miss Yan are very good friends. Even if something happens... as long as Miss Yan's heart is on your side, no one else can pose a threat."
Xu Shaoyu tilted his head back slightly, closed his eyes, and it took him a long time to calm his turbulent emotions.
They were still chatting this afternoon, and it seemed that everything was moving in a good direction.
"She has been staying at Xu's since graduation, busy with work every day. Apart from her former classmates and colleagues, she has no friends in North City."
"This man who suddenly appeared is very suspicious. Find someone to investigate!"
Special Assistant Liu had no choice but to say "yes". He quickly left this troubled place.
It was not until I reached the elevator and patted my forehead that I realized that I had a lot of cold sweat on my forehead and back.
"I hope I misunderstood." Special Assistant Liu muttered to himself. He still underestimated Yan Ruo's influence on the boss. Otherwise, looking at the situation, the boss would probably go crazy.
After Special Assistant Liu left, Xu Shaoyu stood up and walked to the window, standing there, motionless.
Looking at the gorgeous night view outside the window, he thought a lot.
The doubts when we first met, the joy when we completed the project together, the excitement when we first got together, the uneasiness after Yan Ruo suddenly disappeared...
But the uneasiness in his heart at this moment was even stronger than when Yan Ruo left Beicheng and broke up with him.
At that time, he knew that Yan Ru still had him in her heart, and all he needed to do was to clear up the misunderstanding.
But now, the certainty I had before has suddenly turned into uncertainty.
What if Yanruo fell in love with someone else? What if Yanruo only agreed to give it a try on the surface, but was actually thinking about leaving?
The scene in the photo flashed through his mind, his hands slowly clenched into fists, and terrifying anger surged in his deep black eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, he slowly moved, took out his cell phone and called Yan Ruo.
[Hello?] The call was quickly connected, and it sounded like Yan Ruo was in a good mood.
Xu Shaoyu asked with a somewhat difficult voice, "What are you doing?"
Yan Ruo, [I was chatting with Chi Yu just now, and now I'm chatting with you.]
Xu Shaoyu raised his hand and tugged at his tie. "Shall we have lunch at the restaurant you mentioned yesterday?"
Yan Ruo, [Yes, it tastes pretty good.]
"Just you and your little assistant?"
There is another friend.
"What friend?" Xu Shaoyu's voice was a little heavy. Yan Ruo went to the kitchen to pour herself some water while he was talking, and didn't hear him at all.
Thinking of how Chen Che had been timid and fearful in front of Xu Shaoyu before, a hint of smile could not help but appear in his tone.
[An ordinary friend. You are not still in the company now, right?]
To Xu Shaoyu, it sounded like he simply didn't want to talk anymore and was trying to change the subject.
He took a deep breath, and the fingertips of his left hand, which were holding the pen, turned slightly white from squeezing too hard. There was a coldness in his eyes, but his voice was still gentle and steady.
"Since the food at that restaurant is delicious, why not go there again tomorrow night?"
[Tomorrow night?] Yan Ruo looked at her phone uncertainly, [I have an appointment tomorrow night, how about the day after tomorrow?]
Are you busy tomorrow night because you have a date with that man?
The pen fell to the ground with a 'click', the cap broke off, and a gurgling sound was heard.
Yan Ruo answered the phone while swiping the tablet casually, but after swiping for a long time, she didn't hear any sound from the other end of the phone, which made her feel a little strange.
[Hello? Xu Shaoyu, are you still listening?]
"I'm listening." Xu Shaoyu's face was gloomy. Because of some speculations, his emotions could no longer be suppressed. He could only leave a hurried sentence.
"I have an online meeting later, so I'll hang up now."
Before Yan Ruo even had time to say goodbye, she heard the call end.
"It died so quickly, is there a ghost chasing it?"
She stared at her phone and complained quietly, but she didn't take it too seriously. She happily opened her tablet and continued playing Candy Crush.
The next morning, after sending Xiao Tao to the high-speed rail station, Yan Ruo found a small restaurant to have brunch, and then went back to the apartment to catch up on sleep.
I stayed up late watching TV series last night and didn’t get enough sleep, so I’ll probably have to play until quite late tonight before I can go home.
It’s better to prepare in advance and get enough sleep first.
