Chapter 54 Calm down! Calm down!
After a long while, Yan Ruo came out of Xu Shaoyu's arms with red eyes.
Knowing that it was Xiao Suhe who was behind what happened that day, Yan Ruo finally felt a little better.
She had long realized that although Xiao Suhe was smart, she was also overly active. She had never expected her to be so bold as to put others in danger and do something so self-defeating.
Xu Shaoyu took out a few tissues and handed them to her. Seeing that she had gradually calmed down, he continued:
"Grandpa has already agreed that I can decide my own marriage! So, do you understand what I mean?"
His tone was calm and his voice was low and pleasant.
Yan Ruo was completely bewildered, and asked bewilderedly, "What do you mean?"
Xu Shaoyu held her hand and said, "What I mean is, come back to North City with me!"
Looking down at the two people's tightly clasped hands, a trace of confusion flashed in Yan Ruo's eyes.
"Go back to North City with you, then what?"
"Then?" Xu Shaoyu didn't understand why she asked that.
"Of course it's the same as before. We can work together and fight side by side; live together and spend every day together. Let me see you every day!"
"But I don't want that!" Facing Xu Shaoyu's face that instantly turned cold, Yan Ruo opened her mouth and continued:
"We can't stay like that forever. I don't want to wake up one day and hear that you're getting engaged and married to someone else."
It's like having a sword of Damocles hanging over your head, always making you feel worried and scared.
Obviously, he didn't mean that, but why did the words sound like he was forcing a marriage? Yan Ruo closed her eyes, not daring to look at Xu Shaoyu.
The living room fell into silence.
People like Xu Shaoyu always like to control everything and hate being forced or threatened the most.
You should be angry when you hear this!
Thinking of this, Yan Ruo looked up and met Xu Shaoyu's gaze.
Xu Shaoyu stared at her closely, but for some reason, he was not angry, and his tone became much softer.
"There's no one else! I won't get engaged to anyone else! You're the only one for me! And there will only be you!"
Perhaps Xu Shaoyu's tone was too serious at the time. In the end, Yan Ruo fled in panic.
Yan Ruo believed that Xu Shaoyu was serious when he said those words.
At work, she always followed his instructions.
But in life, since moving to Xingwu, it has always been Xu Shaoyu who takes care of her more.
He was mature and independent. He would make breakfast for her and make sure she ate on time. He would help her solve many small problems in life, give her sound advice, and take care of her all night when she was sick.
It was because those two years were so wonderful that she dared not gamble.
Over the years in North City, she has witnessed too many grievances and hatreds among wealthy families.
Even a loving couple may fall apart due to interests and external temptations.
There was originally a huge gap between them.
She didn't want Xu Shaoyu to tell her later that he regretted being with her, and she was even more afraid that this relationship would deteriorate!
When Yan's father and mother came back, they saw that Xu Shaoyu was not there, so Yan's mother quickly pulled over Yan Ruo, who was in a daze.
"Ruoruo, tell me the truth, is the guy upstairs really just an ordinary colleague?"
Yan Ruo nodded, "Yes! It's a colleague!"
Yan's mother frowned. "Even if he's a colleague, he's still a man! He should still be careful about his behavior. Besides, haven't you been chatting well with Xiao Zhou recently?"
"What?" Yan Ruo thought she had misheard, "What does this have to do with Zhou Jiannan?"
Yan's mother also felt strange, "Aren't you talking to Xiao Zhou?"
What the hell is going on? Yan Ruo has no idea how Yan's mother came to this conclusion.
He had no choice but to cast a questioning look at Yan's father who hadn't said much, "Dad, you don't think so too, do you?"
Yan's father nodded. "Didn't you and Xiao Zhou just get together after a blind date? It seems like you get along well. Your eldest aunt was asking when you were going to get engaged a few days ago."
"got engaged!"
"got engaged?"
Yan Ruo's slightly collapsed voice and another cold voice sounded at the same time.
The family of three who were chatting looked up and saw Xu Shaoyu standing at the stairs, with a cold look in his deep eyes.
Yan Ruo was the first to react, laughing, "It's all a misunderstanding! Misunderstanding!"
Seeing that he had changed his clothes, I quickly changed the subject.
"You're done showering! Come down for some water?"
Xu Shaoyu retracted his gaze and ignored Yan Ruo. Instead, he politely nodded and greeted Yan's father and mother, then turned around and went upstairs.
This is trouble, Yan Ruo looked helpless.
"Dad, Mom, stop guessing. Zhou Jiannan and I have been in contact recently for serious matters! I don't have any such thoughts at all!"
After thinking about it, he still said with reassurance, "Also! Make sure to explain it clearly to your aunt tomorrow!"
Yan's father and mother didn't expect that they would misunderstand.
Fortunately, my aunt was delayed when she said she would arrange a dinner with the Zhou family two days ago, otherwise it would be difficult to resolve now!
When Yan Ruo finished washing up and went upstairs, Xu Shaoyu's door was closed.
She stood at the door for a while with a glass of water in her hand, pouting.
Forget it, he is such a grown-up, can’t he just get some water to drink if he is thirsty?
In the past, she would never serve him tea or water after get off work, let alone now that she has resigned, why should she rush to serve him!
He didn't get his salary!
I returned to my room, lay on the bed, and was about to ask the military advisor what to do.
There was a noise outside the door and a text message was received on the phone.
"Open the door!"
The text message was sent from an unremarked number, but Yan Ru was very familiar with that string of numbers.
Yan Ruo wanted to pretend not to see it, but then another text message came.
"I'll give you one minute. If you don't open the door, I'll knock!"
Yan Ruo quickly sat up!
My parents are watching TV downstairs now. If I knock on the door, they will definitely hear it.
She quickly got out of bed, opened the door quietly, looked towards the stairs, and faintly heard the voices of her parents chatting in the living room downstairs. She then breathed a sigh of relief.
He quickly reached out and pulled Xu Shaoyu into the room, then gently closed the door.
When she turned around again, Xu Shaoyu was already half lying on her bed.
Yan Ruo frowned slightly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Xu Shaoyu's eyebrows were deep, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he didn't say anything, but just raised his hand and hooked his fingers.
Yan Ruo rolled her eyes and took a few steps closer, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, don't let my parents know..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Shaoyu suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms, then turned over and pressed her under him.
Yan Ruo widened her eyes, fearing what he might do. She put her hands on her chest, her tone filled with anger.
"What are you doing? My parents are still downstairs?"
"What do you think I want to do?" A faint light flashed in Xu Shaoyu's eyes, and his warm breath sprayed on Yan Ruo's neck, causing a slight tremor.
"Xu Shaoyu! Calm down! Calm down!"
"You're about to get engaged to another man, and you're still asking me to calm down! Ruoruo, if you don't explain clearly today, I'll have no choice but to use my actions to make you understand the current situation!"
Yan Ruo opened her eyes wide and spoke sincerely.
"This is truly a misunderstanding! Zhou Jiannan is my high school classmate, and we haven't been in touch for years! We've only been in touch recently because of work."
Xu Shaoyu's dark eyes were deep as he stared at her for a long while before leaning over and hugging her tightly.
"It's better this way, otherwise..."
