CHAPTER 89: CHAPTER 90: GRANDPA YU

Ruan Xingwen turned back to the bedroom.

"Hmm? Isn’t there one at the door?" Little Yuan asked in confusion.

Soon, Ruan Xingwen came out of the bedroom, holding a slightly smaller light-colored knitted cardigan.

He walked up to Little Yuan and handed her the cardigan, "Here, put it on a bit. It gets cooler in the evening, don’t catch a cold. I bought this a few years ago, can’t wear it now, so I kept it clean after washing. It’s clean."

Feeling the residual warmth from Ruan Xingwen in the cardigan, Little Yuan suddenly felt a bit emotional.

If she didn’t know Ruan Xingwen liked boys, she’d definitely pursue him "madly."

Ah, such a thoughtful boy, who knows which jerk will end up with him!

Little Yuan thought angrily to herself.

Little did she know, Yu, who was dealing with urgent documents in the office far away, inexplicably sneezed.

Just then, Zhang He opened the door and walked in, hearing Yu Xiaozhe’s sneeze, he asked:

"What’s up? Got a cold?"

Yu Xiaozhe pinched his slightly tense nose bridge, "Nope."

Zhang He didn’t pay much attention, casually replied, "Then maybe someone’s thinking about you."

She handed Yu Xiaozhe a document, "Here, take a look at this, the newly completed proposal."

Yu Xiaozhe took it and placed it on the side.

But instead of leaving after delivering the document, Zhang He sat down on the sofa opposite the desk.

Clearly with the intention of having a good talk with Yu Xiaozhe.

So Yu Xiaozhe spoke first, "What’s up?"

But Zhang He adopted an officious tone: "Comrade Yu Xiaozhe, I represent Mr. Yu and Aunt Yu to ask, what are your feelings towards Ruan Xingwen?"

"Do you think I’m the kind of person who’s irresponsible with feelings?" Yu Xiaozhe retorted.

"Uh..."

"Do you think I’d waste time on unrelated people?"

"Uh..."

"So do you have anything else?"

"Uh, no..."

"Turn around, not seeing you out."

After saying this, Yu Xiaozhe lowered his head and continued working. Realizing the straightforward dismissal, Zhang He left the office somewhat dejected.

She patted her slightly anxious chest, pulled out her phone, and dialed a number.

The ringtone was about to hang up when the other side picked up, an elderly yet vigorous voice came through,

"Hello, Little Hezi, did you ask? What’s that kid Ah Ze say? Does he really fancy someone?"

Zhang He smiled bitterly, "Grandpa Yu, I failed your mission, no success!"

In her heart, she was thinking, how is it that Yu Xiaozhe is so hard to get words out of, couldn’t get a single thing from him!

Mr. Yu had anticipated this outcome, he still knew his grandson well.

Couldn’t pry a word from him easily unless it was with those few childhood friends, anyone else was met with extreme indifference.

This time when he heard from Xiao Yue and Little He, saying Ah Ze had someone he’s interested in, he was thrilled. Though a bit regretful, he had met this young man named Ruan Xingwen a few days ago, a kid he really liked.

But it’s a good thing Ah Ze met someone he likes.

Liao Yue said, that boy looks quite handsome, has a good personality too. That’s enough, decent person, good to Ah Ze, that’s enough.

But Mr. Yu was still worried, after all, he didn’t know the boy Xiao Yue talked about, nor understood him. Just relying on Xiao Yue’s few words, which were all full of praise.

The more he thought about it, the more unreliable it seemed, so he asked Zhang He to inquire, but who knew Zhang He was just full of praise too.

Mr. Yu didn’t expect Zhang He to pry anything out of Yu Xiaozhe, he just wanted to send a signal to Yu Xiaozhe, a sign that he’s quite concerned about Yu Xiaozhe’s crush. He knew Yu Xiaozhe would definitely understand his intentions.

So the old man said a few words to Zhang He before hanging up. Holding the phone close by, glancing at it from time to time, just waiting for Yu Xiaozhe to call him.

Who would have thought, Yu Xiaozhe did understand his grandfather’s intentions, but didn’t call him.

It’s because yesterday his grandfather sent him a picture of Ruan Xingwen laughing and chatting with another girl.

Grandpa is getting more unreliable as he ages.

Originally thought grandpa sent him some motivational image from the internet, but who knew opening it this morning, it was a picture of Ruan Xingwen with another girl.

In the photo, Ruan Xingwen was smiling brightly, clearly familiar with that girl.

This left Yu Xiaozhe, who was already dressed and ready to go, feeling at a loss.

Yes, he doesn’t know if Ruan Xingwen has someone he likes, doesn’t know whether he likes men or women, and even less if Ruan Xingwen would like him.

This hesitant appearance surprised Zhang He, who came to deliver documents.

Since childhood, Zhang He had never seen anything that could make Yu Xiaozhe so hesitant.

So Zhang He asked Yu Xiaozhe what was wrong, if something happened.

Didn’t expect it to still be about Xingxing.

Yu Xiaozhe told Zhang He about the photo, so Zhang He had the studio people check it out, turns out that the girl was just Ruan Xingwen’s former assistant.

A false alarm.

Everyone gets frantic, anxious when facing emotions, and Yu Xiaozhe was no exception.

So Zhang He decided to accompany Yu Xiaozhe to pick up Ruan Xingwen. Originally, they decided that Yu Xiaozhe would pick him up first, then Zhang He had a lunch gathering that she couldn’t miss, so the contract signing time was set around dinner.

Zhang He’s decision disrupted the previous plan, after meeting Ruan Xingwen and having breakfast together, Zhang He even directly signed the contract with Ruan Xingwen.

This also surprised Yu Xiaozhe, but it was somewhat expected.

After all, Ruan Xingwen has the charm that anyone would make exceptions for him.

Now grandpa is asking about all this, probably due to Yue and Zhang He’s big mouths telling him.

But even Yu Xiaozhe couldn’t clearly articulate his feelings towards Ruan Xingwen. It was a realm he hadn’t entered in nearly thirty years, even if he couldn’t define it, it’s better to not let grandpa become involved.

Helplessly shaking his head, Yu Xiaozhe continued to immerse himself in endless work, only work could temporarily let him forget Ruan Xingwen.

But before he could fully settle down, Zhang He came in again, this time bringing a gloating expression.

"Boss Yu, your ’rival of love’ is here too."

"?"

"Xingxing just called asking if he can decide on his assistant himself. Of course, I won’t oppose it, so... hehe, as you guessed, it’s the girl in the picture."

"..." What kind of rival of love is this?

Seeing the meaning in Yu Xiaozhe’s expression, Zhang He shrugged indifferently:

"Anyway, I can tell Xingxing has a good relationship with that girl, as for other things... I don’t know, I’m off!"

After saying that, Zhang He ran off, not wanting to see Yu Xiaozhe’s darkened face, although handsome, still affecting her appetite.
