Chapter 120 What are you testing?
Su Yue looked incredulous, "Second brother, you're going too far. Do I really need your money for food?"
Xu Shaoyu sat back behind his desk, his voice flat and even, "I'll have someone deliver the bloodstone you wanted to you tomorrow."
Exchanging a meal for a piece of bloodstone, this business is really profitable.
Su Yue immediately stood up and said, "Okay, thank you, second brother. Don't worry, I'm keeping an eye on the Lin family. I'll be leaving first. Have a nice lunch, second brother."
After saying this, she left quickly as if she was afraid that he would change his mind.
As soon as I walked out of the office, I saw Special Assistant Liu standing not far from the door with a stack of documents and a sad face.
Su Yue's eyes lit up, and he walked over a few steps and asked in a low voice, "Second brother had a quarrel with Secretary Yan, why is he so gloomy?"
Special Assistant Liu nodded and shook his head, shrugged helplessly.
What does it mean? It all depends on Su Shao’s clever head to figure it out.
Does he dare to say that Miss Yan is suspected of having a new love, and that Mr. Xu, his ex-lover, is starting to have green lights over his head?
Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of him and couldn't guess what Special Assistant Liu meant, Su Yue could only leave Xu Group with a confused look on his face.
However, the harvest of this trip was still very good. He had been eyeing that top-quality bloodstone for a long time, but unfortunately Xu Shaoyu had never agreed to it.
I didn't expect to get it just by doing a small favor. It's perfect for my grandpa's birthday.
Next time I meet Secretary Yan, I must thank her very much.
When Yan Ruo got off the car, she was shocked to find that the place where they had lunch was actually the internet-famous restaurant where she had eaten with Xiao Tao Chen Che two days ago.
Xiao Zhang opened the trunk and was about to take out the wheelchair, but Yan Ruo quickly stopped him.
It's okay if no one sees you at home, but it's not so nice to COS a disabled person in public.
Xiao Zhang looked embarrassed. "Boss Xu has instructed that you shouldn't move your feet too much right now."
Yan Ruo glanced at the restaurant right in front of her and said, "It's only a few steps away, so it can't be considered too much activity."
Xiao Zhang looked behind her and said, "Then you should talk to Mr. Xu yourself."
Yan Ruo, “…”
Looking back, Xu Shaoyu was indeed standing not far away, looking at her with an unfathomable expression. She waved her hands guiltily, "What a coincidence."
Xu Shaoyu took two steps forward and asked, "Don't you like wheelchairs?"
Yan Ruo said, "That's too exaggerated. I haven't reached that level yet."
Xu Shaoyu looked at Xiao Zhang and said, "Then don't take the wheelchair." Yan Ru nodded in satisfaction and was about to walk towards the restaurant, but Xu Shaoyu grabbed her arm.
"Let me carry you in."
Yan Ruo quickly took two steps back, "I don't want to be an embarrassment in public."
"What's wrong with having a pimple under your eye?" Xu Shaoyu took two steps forward. "We're a legitimate couple. My girlfriend's foot is injured, and it's wrong for her boyfriend to hug her."
Yan Ruo's face fell, "There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that I'm thinner-skinned than you."
Xu Shaoyu reached out and pinched her cheek, "Are you scolding me in a roundabout way?"
"No way, you're overthinking it." Yan Ruo slapped his hand away and quickly greeted Xiao Zhang.
"Please help me move the wheelchair out. I suddenly found that sitting in a wheelchair is quite comfortable."
Xiao Zhang did not go to get the wheelchair immediately, but looked at Xu Shaoyu. After the other party nodded, he opened the trunk and took out the wheelchair.
Yan Ruo pouted, as expected, whoever pays the salary is the boss.
Just like that, Yan Ruo was pushed into the restaurant in a wheelchair by Xu Shaoyu, facing gazes of curiosity, sympathy, and envy.
If you want to know why people still envy me even though I am in a wheelchair, it may be because the person pushing the wheelchair is a handsome guy.
Yan Ruo kept her head down the whole time, pretending to look at her phone.
For some reason, Xu Shaoyu remained silent after entering the restaurant. Looking at the couples in the restaurant, his expression became even uglier.
This was my second time here, and I didn’t realize it was a restaurant for couples.
When we got to our table, the waiter asked directly, "Would you like to serve the food now?"
Xu Shaoyu nodded slightly.
Yan Ruo asked, "Don't you even need to order?"
Xu Shaoyu looked puzzled. "I've already ordered them in advance. They're said to be their most popular signature dishes. You're sure to like them."
The last few words were squeezed out from between his teeth, but unfortunately Yan Ru didn't notice it at all.
It wasn't until the dishes were served that Yan Ruo realized something was wrong.
How come these dishes are exactly the same as the ones they had last time they came? The last time I looked at the menu, there were quite a lot of dishes.
Could it be that these are the ones that have good reviews online and are popular?
Yan Ruo straightened up and looked at other people's tables, and this time she saw something even more wrong.
Because they came in in wheelchairs, they didn't notice that the place they were sitting now was actually the same place they sat last time.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and her gaze fell on Xu Shaoyu opposite her.
But he had a stern expression, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he was looking straight at me.
This guy, what is going on?
Yan Ruo pretended to be surprised and said, as if she had just discovered it, "What a coincidence! The last time I came here to eat, I sat at this table and ordered these dishes."
There was amazement on her face, but her eyes were fixed on Xu Shaoyu.
"They are exactly the same, not a single bit different. It's really fate."
Xu Shaoyu tightened his hands under the table, his expression unchanged as he spoke calmly, "What a coincidence! You've been here before. With whom?"
Yan Ruo said nonchalantly, "Xiao Tao."
Xu Shaoyu lowered his eyelashes slightly, making it difficult to read the emotions in his eyes. "Your little assistant is only her?"
"Then what else? Who else do you think it is?" Yan Ruo glanced at him, the corners of her lips slightly raised, and a faint smile flashed across her face.
Seeing his brows furrowed, his jaw clenched, and a cold aura lingering around him, he finally spoke slowly.
"Oh, yes. Besides Xiao Tao, there is another person."
"Who?" The voice was cold and deep, as if squeezed out from between teeth.
In comparison, Yan Ruo's tone became much more relaxed after her suspicions were confirmed. "Someone you know?"
Xu Shaoyu tilted his head slightly, "I know him?"
Yan Ruo nodded, "Yes, it's Chen Che, don't you know him?"
"Chen Che?" Xu Shaoyu paused for a moment, then squinted his eyes and looked at her after two seconds. "You're deliberately teasing me."
Yan Ruo spread her hands, "Aren't you testing me on purpose?"
Xu Shaoyu choked at this sentence. He picked up the teacup and took a sip as if to cover up.
Under Yan Ruo's relentless gaze, there was a rare look of embarrassment on his face, and the coldness that had lingered in his eyes for the past two days disappeared.
After a long while, he slowly spoke. "I was wrong. I should have asked you directly."
Yan Ruo snorted coldly, anger rising in her heart, and asked coldly, "So what are you doubting?"
"You think I'm the kind of person who's fickle and two-timing. You think I'm involved with someone else while I'm agreeing to be with you? In your mind, am I such a bad person?"
