Chapter 79 Coward!
Yan Ruo curled her lips, "Didn't you just say you didn't want to talk to me? What else are you talking about?"
Xu Shaoyu lowered his brows, his eyebrows twisted into a knot, "It's not that I don't want to talk to you, but you..."
He has always been calm, always rational in doing things, and very purposeful. Yan Ruo is just an accident in his life.
They work well together and get along well in life.
He once thought that it would be nice to live like that forever.
He was a little surprised when Yan Ruo suddenly resigned, but he didn't force her to stay. Everyone has their own life plans, and he didn't want to interfere too much.
What he never expected was that Yan Ruo was not only leaving the Xu family, but also him.
The man who has always been decisive and invincible in the business world is actually unusually slow in some aspects.
But even the most obtuse person would have noticed something after spending some time together.
In the past, even when Yan Ruo was in the company, she always kept a distance from him, fearing that others would notice something.
But in private it's completely different.
She would share the latest gossip with him, show him her new gadgets, and complain to him about the little troubles in life...
Xingwu's house has the feeling of home because of her presence.
But now he could sense that Yan Ruo's attitude towards him was very subtle. It was as if there was a layer of glass between them, and he was isolated from the outside.
What he couldn't tolerate the most was that Yan Ruo didn't seem to care about him that much anymore.
Xu Shaoyu held Yan Ruo's hand tightly and spoke in a slow voice. "Yan Ruo, let's start over."
To be honest, when Yan Ru heard this, he was completely stunned and his mind went blank.
What does Xu Shaoyu mean by this? What does it mean to start over?
Do you want to go back to the way things were before, or...
Thinking of what he once said, that he could make his own decision about marriage, Yan Ruo's heart wavered for a moment.
But how could it be possible? He was born in the Xu family of North City and was now the head of the Xu family, just as Lin Shuyun had reminded him countless times.
His future partner will definitely be a wealthy lady who is of equal status to him.
So... I must have been overthinking it.
After staring at his tightly clasped hand for a long time, Yan Ruo's eyes flashed with struggle.
The words that Lin Shuyun had used to mock and remind her were still ringing in her ears. In the end, rationality prevailed and her restless heart was suppressed.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, trying to force a smile but failed.
Yan Ruo's eyelashes drooped slightly, and her tone was relaxed. She pretended to be confused and asked, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by starting over? I don't understand what you are saying."
After saying that, he pulled his hand back forcefully, brushed Xu Shaoyu's arm, walked out of the room, and started rummaging through the refrigerator in the living room.
He even took the time to look back at Xu Shaoyu, "Would you like something to drink? I'll get it for you."
Xu Shaoyu's eyes were dim, and he opened his mouth to say something. Seeing Yan Ruo looking like she was going to go into the refrigerator to look for something, he breathed a sigh of relief in frustration.
"No need, drink it yourself." After saying that, he turned and went into the study next door.
Hearing the sound of the study door closing, Yan Ruo sighed and closed the refrigerator with empty hands.
After standing there for a long time, he turned around and saw his reflection in the glass window. He pulled the corner of his mouth and muttered quietly, "Coward."
After glancing at the closed door of the study, Yan Ruo went straight back to her room, took a shower, and went to bed.
I was clearly tired after a day of work, but I couldn't fall asleep until after eleven o'clock after tossing and turning.
I took out my phone and browsed for a long time, but I couldn't read anything.
I suddenly sat up in bed, my mind a mess, and I felt like there was a fire burning in my chest. I decided to go get some water first.
When I went out to get some water, I accidentally glanced at the study, and the door was still closed.
After drinking a large glass of ice water, I felt much more refreshed.
When I lay down on the bed again, the feeling of boredom was still there, but the fire in my heart didn't seem to be burning as strongly.
It was almost twelve o'clock, so I quickly threw my phone aside, closed my eyes and forced myself to sleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but I heard the sound of doors opening and closing outside.
Working overtime so late, the capitalists are so cruel that they even exploit themselves.
Then the room fell silent again.
Yan Ruo turned over, spread her arms, and took up the center of the bed. It seemed that her previous act of playing dumb had irritated Xu Shaoyu, and tonight she could finally have the bed to herself.
I don't know whether I feel lost or relieved.
Perhaps it was really more comfortable to have a bed all to herself, so she finally stopped making pancakes and slowly began to feel sleepy.
Just as she saw the back of old man Zhou Gong, the sound of the door opening pulled her back.
After a series of light footsteps, one side of the bed sank slightly, and a familiar woody scent wafted into the nose.
If I suddenly open my eyes at this moment, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?
Yan Ruo could only pretend that she had fallen asleep.
The arm that was stretched out and occupied the space was gently placed back to the side of the body. A warm touch came on the forehead, and an arm was also crossed across the waist, and the whole person fell into a warm embrace.
Yan Ruo was a little confused and thought, 'Isn't he angry? Why is he still holding her and sleeping as if nothing happened?'
Afraid of being discovered pretending to sleep, he didn't dare to move at all. Not long after, he actually fell asleep in a daze.
When she woke up in the morning, she was the only one left in the bed. It seemed as if everything she had felt before going to sleep last night was just an illusion.
I took out my cell phone to check when the home appliances I bought online would be delivered, and also made an appointment for the installer to come and install them.
The house has just been renovated and the furniture is also new, so it needs to be ventilated for at least half a year.
Yan Ruo thought that she would go back early after this batch of things arrived.
We had agreed to go back in two or three days, but now it's almost five or six days.
When he went out, Xu Shaoyu just happened to push the door open from another room. It looked like he had just taken a shower, and his short hair was still a little damp.
Seeing that she was up, he said as usual, "Breakfast has just been served, let's go eat together."
The breakfast was very rich. Not only were there steamed dumplings and steamed buns, but there was also porridge and a few side dishes. It was a pure Chinese breakfast and was also Yan Ruo's favorite.
But... Yan Ruo secretly glanced at Xu Shaoyu. Didn’t he always have toast and coffee in the morning before?
After finishing breakfast quietly, he saw her looking down at her phone the whole time, not even looking at him. Xu Shaoyu was both angry and amused.
"I have to go back to North City today. My flight is at noon."
This decision seems sudden, but it is actually expected.
The May Day holiday is over and Chi Yu started working today. I was just sending her a message saying that I almost forgot the computer password.
Although Xu Shaoyu does not need to punch in and out like ordinary employees, managing such a large group means there are many things to worry about.
It is normal to go back to work after the holiday.
Yan Ruo pursed her lips and said politely, "Do you want me to take you to the airport?"
"want!"
Yan Ruo, “…”
She asked out of habit.
"I suddenly remembered that I've been away for several days and my mom has been sending me messages asking when I'll be back. I might not be able to make time today."
"Really?" Xu Shaoyu said in a very calm tone, "But you can't leave South City these few days."
