The garage was quiet, and this cheer, which was uncontrollable because of excitement, suddenly entered the ears of Jing Yicheng, who hadn’t gone far. He stopped, turned around, and glanced at the other party from a distance.

The special assistant stepped forward with great discernment and said, “Should we pull back the people following Xu Chenghao?”

In the eyes of the special assistant who was involved in the whole courtship plan, since the boss had already given up on An Ruoyu, wasn’t Xu Chenghao a complete passer-by? There is no need to continue to follow him and observe him meticulously.

When he said this, the special assistant was even ready for the boss to nod his approval and inform the person himself.

Jing Yicheng was silent for a while, then suddenly said: “No, we will withdraw when Ruan Chenxuan withdraws!”

Special Assistant: “Okay, I’ll… huh?”

Jing Yicheng glanced at him lightly, and the special assistant immediately lowered his head: “Cough, okay, I get it.”

In the distance, the car belonging to Xu Chenghao started to leave the garage. Jing Yicheng finally retracted his gaze, took out all the fruit candy he carried in his pocket, and gave it to the special assistant: “Here, it is for you.”

Special Assistant: “…Thank you, boss.”

Jing Yicheng looked at his deflated subordinates, his mood rarely relaxed. He patted him on the shoulder and said, “Let’s go.”

The special assistant was a little helpless, and while putting the fruit candy in his pocket, he said: The person who just followed behind to take pictures, should I let someone deal with him?

“It should be Ruan Chenxuan’s, don’t worry about it.”

“Okay.”

They calmly got into the car and quickly left the garage. The empty underground garage suddenly became silent.

Two minutes later, a man in a black cap stood up from the back of a vehicle. He heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his head, and sent all the photos to his boss. The caption: “Xu Chenghao had a secret meeting with Jing Yicheng in the underground garage.”

Sent successfully.

****

The Ruan Group has been very uneasy recently. The young master Ruan suddenly turned against his father. He was sacked from his position and temporarily retired from the Ruan Group limelight. He was even suppressed by the family and forced to get engaged. 

Of course, young master Ruan did not want to be outdone and rose to resist. First, he grabbed Zhou Qian and held the 5% of the shares she got from her engagement with the Ruan family. Recently, he has been working with some new directors and young executives to try to turn the situation around.

He still has to beware of Jing Yicheng’s renewed pressure and Xu Chenghao’s mischief behind his back at this busy juncture. He has been sending people to take strict precautions. If there is any news, they must tell him.

So when the person following Xu Chenghao passed on the video of [Xu Chenghao’s secret meeting with Jing Yicheng in the underground garage], he was still stunned for a moment, thinking_ why are these two people discussing things here? Wouldn’t it be safer to find a private room?!

As soon as the video starts, you can see a familiar figure standing beside a more familiar car. The other party probably came out in a hurry, not wearing a coat. The silver-gray shirt was slightly thin, and the corners of the clothes were tucked into the waistband to show long slender legs. He was leaning on the luxury car and smoking one cigarette after another.

He seems to be waiting for someone ……………. Jing Yicheng would actually wait for someone?

Ruan Chenxuan thought in surprise and mockery, pressing his finger on the screen to speed up, and waited until another figure appeared from the shooting angle before letting go.

Xu Chenghao’s figure is really recognizable. He wears a rigorous gentleman’s suit every day, with a handsome figure and a gentle smile on his eyebrows and eyes. Except for the little yellow duck flowerpot he has recently liked, the rest are unchanged for thousands of years. Ruan Chenxuan can recognize him at a glance even if he is short-sighted!

Seriously speaking, although Ruan Chenxuan was warier of Jing Yicheng, it was only because the opponent was too strong and deliberately hostile to him. So he had to guard against him.

But in terms of the degree of dislike, he definitely dislikes Xu Chenghao even more!

It’s this guy! He had protected An Rouyu before him countless times. And with the identity of her fiancé, he spent more than 20 years by his lover’s side!

Thinking about that made Ruan Chenxuan’s heart suffocated. He frowned and continued to look down.

The video distance is a bit far and does not collect sound. Ruan Chenxuan can only see two people standing face to face, seemingly talking about something. Were they planning some conspiracy? Or do they want to target him?

Because Xu Chenghao turned his back to the shooting angle, fortunately, he couldn’t block Jing Yicheng. Even if Ruan Chenxuan wanted to find someone to see his mouth shape, he could only guess with a cold face that they must be trying to take the opportunity to do something to him.

Jing Yicheng’s expression was always cold and gloomy. It didn’t change even when he left. Ruan Chenxuan didn’t care whether he was happy or not. Instead, it was Xu Chenghao’s last cheer that made him vigilant.

What kind of scheme has been negotiated? Why is Xu Chenghao so happy? Could it be that the final winner will be Xu Chenghao?

Ruan Chenxuan felt that he could not see through the other person more and more. Xu Chenghao first refused Rouyu telling her that he would not protect her, and then spread rumors to smear Ruan Chenxuan and An Rouyu taking himself out. It seemed that he really gave up on Rouyu. But after all this was done on the surface, he met secretly with Jing Yicheng in the underground garage! 

What is he trying to do?!

The more Ruan Chenxuan couldn’t figure it out, the more vigilant he became. He re-watched the video several times, wishing he could see the back of Xu Chenghao’s head. He watched him cheering with the little yellow duck flowerpot several times. Suddenly, there was a kind of_this is the landlord’s silly son feeling.

Ruan Chenxuan: “…”

Forget it. He’d better find someone to keep an eye on it carefully.

Wherever the after-effects of the engagement party began to ferment, be it Jing Yicheng’s sudden change of heart and mind or Ruan Chenxuan’s determination that the other two had colluded, they were subtly affecting each other’s lives and judgments.

Xu Chenghao is different. The aftermath of the engagement banquet is Zheng Yunyun, the blind date.

He was about to reach home, but he was called back to Xu’s house by  Mother Xu. Before he entered the door with the little yellow duck in his arms, he heard a burst of laughter—— well, a rather familiar hearty laugh.

“Haohao!” Mother Xu was the first to find out that her son was back and got up and beckoned: “Come on, come on, it just so happens that Yunyun is also here. Let’s have dinner together later.” 

Zheng Yunyun, next to her, stood up, neatly tidied up her skirt, and said with a smile, “Mr. Xu, I’m Zheng Yunyun. We met yesterday.”

“En. I remember, hello.” Xu Chenghao nodded in greeting and was pulled by Mother Xu to sit back on the sofa.

Mother Xu’s excitement skyrocketed, and she interjected: “Yunyun should also sit, don’t be so unfamiliar. Why are you calling him Mr. Xu? Didn’t I say yesterday that you should call him gege? “

Xu Chenghao immediately said: “It just so happens that my mother keeps talking about wanting a daughter. Maybe we can recognize each other as siblings. “

Mother Xu’s expression changed suddenly; she pinched Xu Chenghao quietly and smiled to resolve the embarrassment: “Listen to his nonsense; it was because he was too skinny when he was a child; you don’t know, he climbed trees and chased dogs and did everything, I had to change five sets of clothes a day.  …”

Zheng Yunyun cooperated, saying, “It turns out that Brother Chenghao was so naughty, but now I can’t see it.”

“He was beaten up, hahaha.” Mother Xu laughed, quickly steering the conversation back to the topic.

Xu Chenghao sat on the side with an expressionless face. When he was really bored, he poked the little yellow duck’s beak with his fingers, touched the leaves of pepper seedlings, and counted a few seedlings and flowers.

A few minutes later, the main event finally came. Mother Xu looked at the young beauties sitting on either side of her and said naturally, “Dinner will start soon; I’ll go check the kitchen and call his father down; you guys talk for a while. Yunyun, don’t be polite.”

Zheng Yunyun smiled: “Okay, thank you, auntie.”

Mother Xu looked back at her son again, her voice was gentle, but her eyes threatened: “Don’t look at your flower pot anymore! Don’t you know how to take good care of others?” Yunyun came to the house for the first time.

Xu Chenghao: “…Oh.”

Mother Xu, who got the answer, left satisfied.

As soon as Mother Xu, who was regulating the atmosphere in the middle, left, the living room fell into an awkwardly quiet atmosphere. Zheng Yun Yun studied the pattern of the teacups in her hands with her eyes downcast. Meanwhile, Xu Chenghao fiddled with the leaves of the pepper seedlings.

After just two minutes, Zheng Yunyun raised her head slightly to look at Xu Chenghao and couldn’t help but take the initiative to ask: “What kind of seedling is this? The flowers are so beautiful.”

Out of courtesy, Xu Chenghao replied thoughtfully, “This is a pepper seedling.”

Zheng Yunyun’s smile froze on her face, and she said after a while, “Okay, okay… It’s the first time I’ve seen someone grow chili peppers. It’s quite ingenious.” 

If you take the initiative to talk, you have to finish it even if you kneel! Zheng Yunyun reluctantly justified herself, seeing that the other party ignored her affection. 

She said helplessly: “Mr. Xu, even if you don’t care about me, you are still a gentleman. You can’t treat girls coldly, right? Or did I offend you?”

“I’m sorry.” Xu Chenghao responded indifferently and added, “I’m born with few words.”

Zheng Yun Yun was choked, unable to say a word, and could only silently shut up and wait for Mother Xu to return.

Through a simple conversation, both people could see each other’s attitudes. Xu Chenghao had no thoughts at all. On the contrary, Zheng Yunyun was quite positive and seemed to have fallen in love with him.

With the woman’s approval, coupled with the acquiescence of the two families, they were now basically waiting for Xu Chenghao to nod and agree to marry and live with Meimei.

Xu Chenghao had a splitting headache, thinking that he had to find a way to soothe the woman and the family and reject it.

He is someone who will leave sooner or later. He doesn’t expect any feelings in the world in the book, so if he doesn’t have love, he will never marry another woman, which is unfair to the other party.

What’s more, after he leaves, the original owner will continue to live in the book world. He is just a passer-by and does not think he can decide on the original owner’s marriage.

What if the original owner doesn’t like her after he comes back? What if the original owner finally rejects it because of the irreversible plot? Doesn’t this delay the other girl even more?

There are thousands of reasons for rejection spinning in his head, but none can really be said. Even if Xu Chenghao was sober and understood, these words could not be said to the people in the book world.

So how should he refuse Zheng Yunyun to end it once and for all…

The original owner’s family genuinely cared for their child. If something needed to be rejected, they would undoubtedly prefer Xu Chenghao to stand up for himself and say the reason for rejection, rather than these nebulous what-if book worlds.

But from his own point of view, there is nothing he could say except that he is a passer-by in the book world. The original owner’s point of view may probably be that he has no feelings or can’t forget the female lead? No, I can’t forget that the female lead must not be used. He finally took it out of the plot and can’t go for it again.

While Xu Chenghao was lost in thought, Mother Xu suddenly appeared and clapped her hands, “It’s dinner time, time for us to eat.”

Zheng Yunyun was embarrassed. When she saw Mother Xu; she felt like she had seen her savior; she hurriedly got up and walked over.

The smile at the corner of Mother Xu’s mouth stiffened, and she quietly glared at her son before turning to receive Zheng Yunyun, “Let’s go. His father is already waiting; let’s go over there.”

Zheng Yunyun smiled good-naturedly: “Okay, thank you for your hard work, auntie.”

“You are welcome.”

Xu Chenghao followed behind, tightly holding his little yellow duck’s beak flowerpot.

Father Xu was already sitting in the main seat waiting and seeing Zheng Yunyun coming over; he nodded kindly and seemed very satisfied with Zheng Yunyun.

Xu Chenghao felt that his head hurt even more, and he had no interest in eating.

The dinner was seriously divided. Father Xu, who was sitting in the main seat, and Xu Chenghao, who was on the left, spoke few words to each other and spent most of the time eating. Meanwhile, Mother Xu and Zheng Yunyun, sitting on the right, chatted happily and merrily drank half a bowl of white fungus soup.

Finally, Mother Xu said, “Haohao, it’s getting late now. I’m worried about Yunyun going back alone. You send her off for me. Remember to say hello to Uncle Zheng and Aunt Zheng.”

Xu Chenghao: “…En.”

Zheng Yunyun smiled lightly: “That’s hard work for Brother Chenghao.”

Mother Xu answered on her behalf: “It’s just a matter of a few minutes. It’s not hard work.”

Xu Chenghao: “…”

Just be happy, don’t worry about my life or death.

Under the enthusiastic command of Mother Xu, Zheng Yunyun sat in Xu Chenghao’s co-pilot seat. Then Xu Chenghao drove her home and entered the door to chat with Zheng’s family for a while. He only got up and left after expressing that the person had been delivered.

After tossing for a long time, the sky was already dark when Xu Chenghao returned home. The nanny got the news in advance and didn’t cook; she left the lights on and retired for the day. After a lively afternoon, the surroundings were instantly deserted, making Xu Chenghao’s head clear. He remembered a very important thing.

The pepper seedlings raised in the large flower pots on the balcony are about to bear fruit!
