Chapter 65: Never been picky about food since childhood!
Hearing his question, Xu Shaoyu looked annoyed and the air pressure around him inexplicably dropped.
He was indeed a liar who deceived his aunt's feelings. Chen Che snorted lightly and looked at her unkindly.
"Boss Xu, although I know you are of high status and worth a lot of money, if I find out that you bullied my aunt, I will never let you go!"
Xu Shaoyu's expression was gloomy. "Don't worry, it won't happen."
However, Chen Che was not so easy to fool. Seeing that he looked unhappy, he still spoke deliberately.
"My uncle and aunt loved my two aunts the most. They often said that when they were looking for a partner, they didn't look at family background, but at character and whether he treated my aunts well."
"Have you met Mr. Zhou Jiannan? I know him well, he's good-looking and has a good character. The most important thing is that he's from our local area and has a stable job. My uncle and aunt are very satisfied."
"Mr. Xu, although you are so powerful in North City and everyone respects you, in the eyes of my uncle and aunt, those are all empty words. The most important thing is to treat my aunt well."
Xu Shaoyu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "Do you think I'm not good to Yan Ruo?"
After he finished saying what he wanted to say, the courage he had finally mustered up completely deflated, and Chen Che looked into the distance.
"I don't know if it's good or not, but I heard that Mr. Xu has always been single, and there were rumors that he was engaged to someone some time ago. If he really loves you, why didn't you think of making it public?"
Xu Shaoyu's expression darkened. "I never thought of hiding my relationship with her. It was Yan Ruo who didn't want to be watched..."
"Forget it, why am I telling you this?"
He pinched his brows and patiently asked again, "Why doesn't Yan Ruo eat steamed fish?"
Chen Che said unhappily, "When I was a kid, a fish bone got stuck in my throat, and I haven't dared to eat fish since. It's gotten better in the past two years, though."
"But she only eats fish with bones that have been fried until crispy. Things like steamed fish get stuck in her throat every time she tries them; it's become a habit."
Xu Shaoyu frowned. He had always thought he had taken good care of Yan Ruo over the past two years, but he hadn't even noticed that she was afraid of steamed fish.
It turns out that not only in work, but also in life, she has always been silently tolerating him!
My heart felt like it was being pulled by something, and it was stinging.
After that, neither of them spoke, and Xu Shaoyu still exuded a low mood until they got home.
Yan Ruo secretly tugged at Chen Che, "Did you offend him?"
Chen Che looked at him with an expression that said, "Who is he? How dare I mess with him? You overestimate me."
Yan Ruo nodded, "Indeed, with your timid personality, I'm afraid you wouldn't dare to speak too loudly to him."
Although what he said was true, Chen Che was still in a bad mood. Unfortunately, no one cared about his mood.
Yan Ruo looked at Xu Shaoyu, "What are you cooking for lunch?"
Xu Shaoyu looked at her steadily, "What do you like to eat?"
"Ah?" Yan Ruo was a little choked. The boss cooked for him personally, and he could order dishes?
After a few seconds of pause, he realized, "Your cooking skills are so good. As long as it's not onion and coriander snail noodles, celery offal, or chicken feet, I like everything else."
Seeing her rude look, Xu Shaoyu's annoyance dissipated a little.
He scoffed, "You're so easy to feed!"
"Of course!" Yan Ru nodded in agreement, "My mother said that I have never been picky about food since I was a child."
Maybe it was because of the conversation he had just had, Chen Che was not as reserved as he was yesterday when facing Xu Shaoyu.
I also had an extra bowl of rice at noon.
Seeing Chen Che consciously clearing the table and washing the dishes, Yan Ruo contentedly curled up on the sofa and prepared to check her phone.
As soon as he took out his phone, it was snatched away by a bony hand.
Yan Ruo warily glanced at Chen Che who was concentrating on washing dishes in the kitchen, with a somewhat displeased expression.
"What are you doing?"
Xu Shaoyu played with the phone he had snatched away, his expression nonchalant, "We just finished eating, don't sit there!"
Yan Ruo didn't say anything. After a while of eye contact, he finally gave in.
"Let's climb the stairs together?"
It’s called climbing stairs, but in fact it’s going to the rooftop terrace to enjoy the scenery.
There is a large terrace on the top floor of the Yan family's house. The view from up there is very good. You can see very far away, most of the village is in sight, and you can also see the endless mountains around it.
This small village is surrounded by mountains.
My horizons have been broadened and my mood has become much happier.
Yan Ruo raised an eyebrow at Xu Shaoyu, "Actually, the scenery here is pretty good, isn't it!"
"Although it's a little out of the way, it's far away from pollution, and the air is fresher."
Pointing to a mountain in the distance, he said, "Look there! That's the highest mountain in this area. Standing on it, you can see all the nearby villages, as well as the surrounding mountains, layer upon layer."
Xu Shaoyu looked in the direction she pointed and asked, "Have you climbed up there before?"
"Of course!" Yan Ruo was in a better mood after eating and drinking. "Every New Year, I would make an appointment with my friends to go hiking together. There is a small Taoist temple on the top."
Xu Shaoyu looked relaxed, a barely perceptible smile in his eyes. "Shall we go hiking?"
"Ah?" Yan Ruo didn't react for a moment. Why did they end up talking about climbing a mountain?
After a two-second pause, his eyes began to wander, "Aren't you going back to North City?"
Yan's father and mother will be back today. The longer Xu Shaoyu stays at her house, the easier it will be for him to be exposed.
Yan Ruo hasn't figured out what to do next!
Xu Shaoyu looked at her angrily and amusedly, "Are you trying to get me to leave?"
Yan Ruo had an expression of being wronged.
"How could that be? If you like it, then stay a few more days. But I have to go to South City for something tomorrow, so I can't accompany you."
Xu Shaoyu grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms, his thin lips barely touching hers.
"And he said he didn't kick me out."
Before the other party could do anything more extreme, Yan Ru quickly pushed him away and looked around unnaturally.
They say the higher you stand, the farther you can see. But at the same time, it's also easy to be seen by people far away. I don't even know if I was seen just now.
"Almost done, let's go down."
After saying that, she didn't wait for his answer and went downstairs first.
Managing a large group like the Xu Group, as well as a lot of personal property, Xu Shaoyu has always been very busy. Even if Special Assistant Liu makes arrangements in advance, there are still documents that need to be processed urgently.
He spent the entire afternoon working in the living room on the second floor, while Yan Ruo and Chen Che were playing with their phones in the living room downstairs.
Later, another person moved a lounge chair into the yard and played with his cell phone.
Everyone in the village knows each other, and when they pass by the gate of the courtyard, they will stop and ask a question or two.
Yan Ruo is back? How long has she been back? When are you leaving? Do you have a boyfriend? This must be your aunt's grandson...
Listening to the occasional conversations coming from downstairs, Xu Shaoyu, who had finally finished his work, couldn't help but stand up.
When I walked to the balcony, I could see the two of them half lying down playing with their phones.
Leisurely, peaceful, and good times!
It wasn't until he heard someone mention the name Zhou Jiannan to Yan Ruo that Xu Shaoyu's eyes darkened and he quickly finished his work and went downstairs.
"Now that you're done, it's just right for you to make dinner."
Yan Ruo acted like an old man, ordering Chen Che to wash and chop vegetables and prepare everything needed, just waiting for the boss to take charge of the cooking.
Chen Che was speechless. "So you just give orders and do nothing?"
"Why didn't I do it?" Yan Ruo rolled her eyes at him. "Division of work, scheduling, and progress planning—aren't those all my responsibility?"
Don't be fooled by Yan Ruo's gentle personality and his dislike for arguing with others.
At home, Chen Che could never win an argument with her!
What surprised Yan Ruo was that Xu Shaoyu loved steamed fish the most, but today he made braised fish.
The fish was fried until golden and crispy, and the aroma of frying was very appetizing.
Yan Ruo gave a thumbs up, "As expected of a big boss, even the fish he fries looks better than others, golden and shiny."
Xu Shaoyu glanced at her and said with a smile, "What can we do? There must be someone in the family who can cook."
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Yan Ruo choked up instantly.
