Chapter 187 Disappointing!
Xu Shaoyu picked up his wine glass and shook it, then said slowly, "My grandparents have been urging me to get married soon."
"And you know, starting three years ago, I've been able to make all the decisions about my own affairs."
Yan Ruo curled her lips, "What about your mother? She has never liked me."
"She doesn't even like me." Xu Shaoyu raised his hand and took a sip of red wine. "I know you two can't get along. In the future, you can have less contact, or even no contact at all."
"If she has any problems, I'll take care of it. You don't have to worry about it."
Yan Ru nodded, and just as she opened her mouth to ask him when he was planning to go to her house to discuss the engagement, Yan's mother's video call came in.
Yan Ruo looked around, and all she could see were roses. She couldn't find a suitable place to connect the video.
Meeting Xu Shaoyu's half-smile, he simply pressed the answer button.
Yan's mother was taking a walk outside. The picture was shaky and dark, and only the light from the street lamp could one see Yan's mother's face clearly.
【Yan Ruo, have you eaten? 】
"Just finished eating. Why are you still walking outside when it's so cold today?"
"Let's take a walk after eating to digest." Yan's mother's face suddenly widened, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Where are you? Wandering around the garden so late at night?"
"How is that possible, eating at a friend's house?"
[Is your friend's family a flower seller?]
Yan Ruo glanced at Xu Shaoyu, who was selling flowers, and felt like laughing. Unexpectedly, he stood up and walked over to her, leaning in front of his phone.
"Good evening, Auntie."
Yan's mother paused, "It's Xiao Xu, when did you come to South City?"
"I came yesterday, Auntie. I want to go home with Yan Ruo to visit you and Uncle the day after tomorrow. I wonder if it's convenient."
Yan Ru was a little anxious because she hadn't informed her mother yet.
He reached out and twisted Xu Shaoyu's waist, then turned his head to warn in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Yan's mother had no idea what Xu Shaoyu was up to. She smiled and said, "What's the inconvenience? If you have time, come back. Her father and I will be so happy."
Xu Shaoyu's expression did not change. He glanced at Yan Ruo intentionally, and seeing her alert face, he spoke slowly.
"That's good. I have something very important to tell you and your uncle in person."
【What's up? 】
Yan Ruo quickly took the phone and walked two steps to the side, turned his back, and looked a little unnatural.
"Mom, actually he wanted to come home to discuss the engagement."
[Engagement!] Yan's mother was stunned for a moment, then sighed with some regret. [I remember you two haven't been dating for long. Have you made up your mind?]
After Yan's mother finished speaking, before Yan Ruo could speak, Yan's father's somewhat serious face appeared on the phone screen.
"You're already old enough, so you should be able to make your own decision. But since this is a major life event, I'd better wait until you're here and discuss it face to face."
Yan Ruo scratched his head and said, "Okay, we'll go back the day after tomorrow."
Seeing her look thoughtful, Xu Shaoyu asked worriedly, "Uncle doesn't agree?"
Yan Ruo shook her head. "No, maybe this happened too suddenly for my parents. I need to give them some time."
"Don't worry, I will impress them with my sincerity."
"Sincerity?" How can you show something that is invisible and intangible?
"Leave this matter to me." Xu Shaoyu pulled her to the living room window and pointed at the building not far away.
"This place is close to the company. If I get off work late or take a lunch break, I can come here."
"Just for a place to rest at noon? What a waste."
Xu Shaoyu looked at her sideways, a smile in his eyes, "Anyway, it's yours now. If you think it's a waste, you can sell it for money."
"A huge sum of money has fallen from the sky, sir. You are so generous, but I don't have the money to return the gift."
Xu Shaoyu lowered his head, resting his forehead against Yan Ruo's eyebrows, with hot starlight in the depths of his eyes.
"No need to return the gift, I just want you to stay by my side forever."
Yan Ruo chuckled softly, her voice gentle, "Then I've lost a lot."
"You won't suffer any loss, I promise."
The rest of the words were swallowed up in one irresistible kiss after another.
The company is really close from here, less than ten minutes away by car. If I want to take a walk after work, it only takes about twenty minutes.
After learning that Xu Shaoyu proposed to Yan Ruo, Chi Yu immediately wanted to ask Yan Ruo out to play.
Under the pretext of eating, we prepared to gossip.
Yan Ruo also wanted to chat with her, and the two hit it off and decided to meet at the hot pot restaurant after get off work.
After hearing what Yan Ruo said, Chi Yu was a little disappointed.
"Xu Shaoyu is such a big boss, and he proposed to you, and this is it? It's too disappointing."
Yan Ruo smiled and picked up a piece of beef for her.
"What else? Would I be surrounded by people yelling 'Marry him, marry him'? I could literally dig a villa out of my toes right then and there."
Chi Yu was still a little dissatisfied, "Forget about strangers, but at least I have to be there, right?"
"We've been together for so many years, and I wasn't there when you proposed to me. It was such an important moment."
"Didn't you go on a date that day?" Yan Ruo narrowed her eyes slightly. "So, are you saying goodbye to being single this time?"
Chi Yu took a sip of Coke and nodded, "I guess so."
"What do you mean by 'considered'? Your answer is too perfunctory."
"The main thing is, I don't know how to say it." Chi Yu looked conflicted.
"As long as you're interested in each other, you think the person is nice, and you're comfortable being together, that's fine. Dating doesn't mean you're going to get married right away."
"It does feel good to be with him." Chi Yu looked at Yan Ruo with an indescribable look.
"That's right. He's too serious sometimes. He's more like my dad or our boss than a boyfriend."
"Puff, cough, cough, cough." Yan Ruocai narrowly avoided spitting out a mouthful of water, but he was choked. It took him a while to suppress the burning pain in his throat.
"Is it really that exaggerated?"
Chi Yu's face was full of seriousness. "That's not an exaggeration at all. Especially when he frowned, I felt like our unit leader was standing in front of me."
He sighed with a look of worry on his face, "For no reason, I always feel inferior to him."
Yan Ruo put down her chopsticks and asked curiously, "Do you like him?"
Chi Yu didn't think much about it, "I still like it."
"What do you like about him?"
"He's handsome, has a good figure, is calm and composed, and whenever he encounters a problem, he can easily solve it."
Yan Ruo shook her head, "Apart from appearance, the qualities you like do have leadership qualities."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Let's take it one step at a time." Chi Yu decided not to dwell on this issue and decided to eat first.
Finally, she specifically reminded him, "I missed your proposal, engagement and wedding ceremony, but you must not forget me."
