In the living room, Yuan Xudong changed his clothes and came out. He and Zhou Gege sat on the sofa in the living room. Zhou Gege's mother Chen Ailian sat opposite them. Seeing Yuan Xudong's handsome appearance and noble temperament, holding her daughter's hands and sitting next to her, Chen Ailian's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, she said:
"Your name is Yuan Xudong, right?"
"Yes, auntie, you can just call me Xiao Yuan!"
"Okay, then Auntie will call you Xiao Yuan!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Chen Ailian looked at Yuan Xudong and continued:
"You are the vice president of Jingyan Group and Gege's leader?"
"Yes, auntie!"
"When did you two start dating?"
After taking a look at Chen Ailian, Yuan Xudong looked at Zhou Gege beside him and said with a smile:
"Gege is very beautiful. She left a deep impression on me on my first day at work. I ate the puffer fish she sent me and went to the hospital. She took care of me at my side. She was very careful and gentle. From that time on, I fell in love with her and wanted to be with her. Later, Gege agreed to my pursuit and promised to be my girlfriend. We were together and will always be together in the future!"
"Puffer fish?"
"Yes, auntie!"
Yuan Xudong looked at Chen Ailian and said with a smile:
"I heard from Gege that you were the one who dealt with the puffer fish? I don't mean anything else by saying this, I just want to thank you. If it weren't for that poisonous puffer fish, Gege might not have agreed to be my girlfriend!"
After that, without waiting for Chen Ailian to say anything, Yuan Xudong took Zhou Gege's hands, looked into her eyes and smiled:
"Gege, do you think I'm right?"
After rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong who was making up a story, Zhou Gege blushed and said:
"I'm so nice, do you still want me to compensate you?"
"Of course not!"
Yuan Xudong grabbed Zhou Gege's hands and said with a smile:
"You 've already given me yourself as compensation, what else do I need money for?"
"you……"
“Ahem~~”
After coughing twice, Chen Ailian rolled her eyes at the flirting between Yuan Xudong and Zhou Gege and said:
"You two should be serious, I'm still here!"
Hearing this, Zhou Gege rolled her eyes at Yuan Xudong, then looked at her mother and smiled shyly:
"Got it, Mom!"
Yuan Xudong stroked Zhou Gege's hands to comfort her, then looked at her mother and said sincerely:
"I'm sorry, auntie!"
After apologizing, Yuan Xudong continued:
"Aunt, Gege is my girlfriend, I will be responsible for her. Last night, I was the one who stayed at home and refused to leave. It was all my fault. Please don't blame Gege, okay?"
"What's the point of saying this now?"
Chen Ailian glared at Yuan Xudong, who was taking advantage of her. Thinking of the fact that her daughter, whom she had raised with great difficulty, was stolen by Yuan Xudong and even injured, she couldn't help but said sullenly:
"Tell me, what are you going to do and when are you going to marry our princess?"
Hearing Chen Ailian say this, Yuan Xudong calmly squeezed Zhou Gege's hands, then looked at Chen Ailian with a serious face and said:
"Company regulations do not allow office romance. If my relationship with Gege is made public, one of us must leave the company. But it doesn't matter. I can find a new job and start over. If Gege is willing, I can apply for resignation from the company. In this way, Gege can marry me!"
After Yuan Xudong finished speaking, before Zhou Gege could say anything, Chen Ailian on the opposite side said directly:
"You can't resign. You are the vice president, with a high salary and good benefits. Gege is just your assistant intern, with a low salary and few benefits. Just let her resign. After you two officially get married, have your own small family and a child, Gege will be responsible for taking care of you and the child, and you will be responsible for making money to support the family!"
“I don’t want to resign!”
Zhou Gege pinched Yuan Xudong's hands and deliberately objected:
"I finally got a job at Jingyan Group. I don't want to quit. I don't want to be a housewife. I'm still young. I'll consider getting married in two years!"
"What are you young for?"
Unexpectedly, Yuan Xudong agreed to the marriage, but her own daughter sang against her. Chen Ailian couldn't help but get angry and said:
"You are already 24, and you will be 30 in two years. If you don't get married now, when do you want to get married?"
"What happened to twenty-four?"
Giving Chen Ailian a blank look, Zhou Gege pouted and said unhappily:
"Twenty-four is the right time to be young. I'll get married right after graduating from college, have kids and be a housewife. What's the point of living like this? Anyway, I don't want to get married now. When I want to get married, I'll tell you!"
When Zhou Gege finished speaking, Chen Ailian stared at her and said:
"Can you get married whenever you want? If you don't get married, will Xiao Yuan wait for you forever?"
Before Zhou Gege could speak, Yuan Xudong at the side coughed and said:
"Aunt, please don't force Gege. Since she doesn't want to get married now, then don't get married. I will wait for her. When she thinks it through and is really willing to marry me, I will marry her home in style, okay?"
After that, seeing that Chen Ailian wanted to say something, Yuan Xudong picked up his wallet and mobile phone from the coffee table, took out a bank card from his wallet and stuffed it into Zhou Gege's hand to change the subject:
"Gege, I was originally planning to give you a sports car, but I thought about it and felt that it would be too eye-catching for an intern assistant like you to drive a sports car. It would easily expose the relationship between us. Take this supplementary card and buy whatever you want. The password is the same as the password for the safe at home. I have something else to do so I'll leave first. I'll come to see you and auntie when I have time, okay?"
“Hmm~~”
After hesitating for a while, Zhou Gege took the bank card handed to her by Yuan Xudong and whispered:
"Thank you Xudong, don't worry, I won't spend money recklessly!"
"fine!"
Yuan Xudong stroked Zhou Gege's hands and said with a smile:
"Girls need money to be raised, especially pretty girls like you. Otherwise, what should I do if you get tricked away by a poor boy with a lollipop?"
"screw you!"
After rolling her eyes at Yuan Xudong, Zhou Gege put away her bank card and said:
"Go away, see you tomorrow!"
"Well, see you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Yuan Xudong looked at Chen Ailian opposite him and said apologetically:
"Aunt, I have something else to do so I'll leave first. The car is waiting downstairs. Can I come visit you next time?"
"Xiao Yuan, you..."
Before Chen Ailian could finish, Zhou Gege hurried to her side, hugged her arm and begged:
"Mom, Xudong still has things to do, so let's not disturb him. Let him go, and we can talk about other things later. I beg you, okay?"
Seeing her daughter begging her like this, Chen Ailian hesitated for a moment and looked at Yuan Xudong and said:
"Go away. Be nice to my daughter from now on, okay?"
"I will, Auntie!"
Nodding slightly, Yuan Xudong stood up and said goodbye:
"Aunt, Princess, I'm leaving first. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After sending Yuan Xudong outside and waiting for him to come downstairs, Zhou Gege and Chen Ailian walked back home, leaned most of their bodies out of the window, and watched him get into the car and leave the community.
After the Maybach completely disappeared, Chen Ailian patted Zhou Gege and said with a smile:
"Okay, stop looking at him. The boy is handsome, rich and capable, but I don't know what his character is like. Tell mom the truth, how does he treat you?"
Before Zhou Gege could speak, Chen Ailian added:
"Don't try to lie to me. No one knows a daughter better than her mother. You are so protective of him and so reluctant to let him go. Do you really not want to marry him?"
"Mom~~"
Leaning back from the window, holding Chen Ailian's arm and acting coquettishly, Zhou Gege pouted and said aggrievedly:
"It's not up to me to decide whether to get married or not. Whatever he says is what matters. What if I don't obey him and he doesn't want me anymore?"
"You damn girl, I knew you two were playing a trick on me!"
Poking Zhou Gege's head with her finger, Chen Ailian couldn't help but rolled her eyes and said:
"The brat only knows how to flatter people with sweet words. He even said that he was willing to resign and marry you. He resigned as a vice president just to marry a little assistant. He is taking me for a fool."
“Haha~~”
With a laugh, Zhou Gege hugged Chen Ailian's arm and said coquettishly:
"Mom, you knew he was lying and didn't really want to marry me, so why didn't you expose him?"
"It's all because of you!"
Giving Zhou Gege a blank look, Chen Ailian patted her twice and said helplessly:
"You've given your body to him, how can I negotiate with him? If I really expose him and force him to marry you, just like you said, what if he abandons you and runs away?"
After that, without waiting for Zhou Gege to say anything, Chen Ailian continued:
"By the way, didn't he leave you a card? I guess he knows what's going on, so he wants to use this card to reassure me. I won't talk to him about getting married, and I don't know how much money is in it. How about we go to the bank to check it out?"
"I don't want it!"
Giving Chen Ailian a blank look, Zhou Gege put away the bank card, picked up a box from the sofa and opened it. Inside was a dazzling diamond watch. She put the diamond watch on her right wrist and showed off in front of Chen Ailian:
"Xudong bought it for me. It cost over a million yuan. Isn't it beautiful?"
"it's beautiful!"
After taking a look at the diamond watch, Chen Ailian grabbed Zhou Gege's right hand, stroked it and said with a smile:
"No matter how beautiful you are, you are not as beautiful as my daughter. Otherwise, would that brat buy you such a beautiful watch?"
Hearing Chen Ailian say this, Zhou Gege hugged her arm and said coquettishly:
"Mom, you still love me!"
"You are my daughter, so if I don't love you, who will?"
"Xudong loves me too, and even makes breakfast for me, with hot milk!"
"Stinky girl, I make breakfast for you every day, why don't you tell me that I love you?"
"How can it be the same?"
With a laugh, Zhou Gege hugged Chen Ailian and said:
"You are my mother, he is my man, both of you should love me, okay?"
"You've grown up, you little girl. How dare you say something so shameless?"
"Mom~~"
…
Inside the car, Yuan Xudong looked at Xia Weijun in the cockpit and ordered:
"Lao Xia, please find a place to park the car in front. You wait in the car while I go buy a bouquet of flowers."
"Okay, Mr. Yuan!"
After a while, Xia Weijun pulled over to the side of the road. Without waiting for him to get out and open the door, Yuan Xudong opened the door and got out of the driveway:
"Wait for me here, I'll be back soon!"
"Okay, Mr. Yuan!"
After taking a look around, Yuan Xudong walked towards the flower shop not far away. On the way, a cute girl came towards him. Her fluffy hair was slightly curled, and she was wearing a blue and white striped shirt, ripped jeans, and a light blue shoulder bag slung over her shoulder with a furry orange doll hanging on it. The girl had four or five snack bags on her arms, a tray of coffee in her left hand, and a whole bag of milk tea in her right hand. She walked hurriedly while holding the phone between her face and shoulder and talking:
"Yes, yes, I've already bought them. Yours is the one with no sugar and less caffeine, the director's is two espressos, and everyone else bought the four-dollar ones. I also bought the cheese chestnut ones..."
Before she finished speaking, a snack bag fell from the girl's right arm, and the small bags of snacks inside were scattered all over the floor. The girl couldn't help but stop and was stunned for a moment. She squatted down to pick up the snacks while continuing to talk:
"No, no, nothing happened. I'll be there right away. Right away. Okay, okay. Goodbye, Sister Xiaoxiao!"
After hanging up the phone and putting the phone into her shoulder bag, the girl sighed softly and began to pick up snacks on the ground. Just as she was about to pick up a bag of snacks, a white jade-like right hand reached out and picked up the snacks before her and said:
“Is this delicious?”
A voice as gentle as jade, the girl couldn't help but look up. In the bright sunshine, a tall and handsome guy who looked like a neighbor stood in front of her. He was holding a small bag of snacks in his right hand. He was bending over and looking at her with a smile:
"Hey, are you okay? Do you need my help?"
"It's okay, I can do it myself!"
The girl smiled, glanced at the gentle stranger and said directly:
"You are so handsome, are you a celebrity?"
"Yeah?"
Putting the snacks into the bag the girl was carrying, Yuan Xudong helped pick up the remaining snacks and said with a smile:
"Have you ever seen a star as handsome as me?"
“I have seen it!”
The girl thought for a while and said with a smile:
"Do you know Orlando? He's the one who played the elf prince in The Lord of the Rings. He's my idol, and he's a handsome guy just like you!"
After helping the girl pick up the snacks, Yuan Xudong stood up and said with a smile:
"I know Orlando. He is quite handsome when he plays the elf prince. The Lord of the Rings series is also very good!"
“Is that so?”
The girl stood up with the repacked snacks in her hand. She looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"Who is your favorite among the Lord of the Rings?"
"Who do I like the most?"
Yuan Xudong thought for a while and smiled:
"Do you know Smaug?"
"Know!"
The girl opened her eyes slightly and said:
"That's from the Hobbit series, the one with the evil dragon that took over the dwarf kingdom!"
"Yes, that evil dragon. He is my idol and I adore him very much!"
"Why?"
The girl seemed a little confused and said:
"He was a bad guy and was shot to death. Why do you like him?"
"Well, because he is powerful, greedy, and has a lot of gold and silver treasures. If I had so much gold and silver treasures, wouldn't I be rich?"
Seeing that the girl was staring at him intently, Yuan Xudong approached her and said with a smile:
"The most important thing is that he is a dragon. Isn't it all said in the novel? In addition to the glittering gold and silver treasures, the evil dragon also likes to capture some beautiful and lovely princesses to tell him bedtime stories. After listening to the bedtime stories, he can sleep peacefully in his gold and silver treasures. Do you think this kind of life is very happy?"
"It's quite happy, I can have endless money to spend!"
With a longing, the girl looked at Yuan Xudong and smiled:
"Thank you, I have something else to do and I'll leave first, bye!"
"Well, bye!"
After they parted, Yuan Xudong continued to walk towards the flower shop not far away. The girl took one last look at his back and prepared to walk to the side of the road. At this moment, a young man who was on the phone passed by her.
“Do you know why you never get promoted?”
"If this matter cannot be suppressed, do you still need to tell me?"
"I'm going to Chedun Film and Television City now. Okay, let's do this. Prepare the video materials of me and Yang Xue. We'll talk about the scandal after I get back!"
After hanging up the phone, the young man walked to a black business car. He looked at the driver waiting at the door and said,
"Xiao Zhang!"
"Mr. Duan, you are here!"
"Well, have you bought everything?"
"What is it?"
"What's wrong with you? Buying a few boxes of drinks and snacks for Director Yang to visit the class, don't you think about these things?"
"Sorry, boss, I'll go now!"
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!"
“Okay, boss!”
After that, the driver ran directly to the nearby shopping mall. The young man shook his head and was about to open the car door and get in. The girl who had been waiting on the side rushed over, opened the door for him and said:
"Charming handsome guy, here I come!"
Hearing the girl calling him a charming handsome guy, the young man smiled and said:
"Do you like watching Kyushu Sky City?"
"You're watching too?"
The girl was quite surprised and said:
"I thought only girls watched this kind of drama, but I didn't expect boys like it too!"
Seeing the girl's familiarity, the young man raised his eyebrows and said:
"Do we know each other?"
“I don’t know him!”
The girl waved her hands and said embarrassedly:
"Excuse me, I just happened to hear you on the phone saying you were going to Chedun Film and Television City. I happen to be going there too, so could I ask you to give me a ride in your car?"
"I see!"
The young man smiled and said:
"You told me that you like watching Kyushu Sky City, pretended to be familiar with me, and used tricks to get close to me. I don't know how many girls like you I meet every day, and you even want to take my car. Can you come up with something fresher and give me a surprise?"
After that, without waiting for the girl to react, he walked to the other side, opened the door and got in. The girl squeezed into the car carrying coffee and snacks and explained:
"Big brother, I think you misunderstood. I don't have any intention of trying to get close to you. Really not. I really want to go to Chedun Film and Television City. Can you just treat it as a good deed and give me a ride? It can also be considered as fate?"
"go out!"
Seeing that the young man really didn't want to give her a ride, the girl was a little disappointed. Just as she opened the door and prepared to get off, the young man called her:
"return!"
"ah?"
The girl turned and looked at the young man, with a look of surprise on her face.
"You agree to give me a ride?"
“Smile!”
"What?"
The girl blinked her big eyes and said with a puzzled expression:
"What's the meaning?"
The young man smiled and said:
"You shamelessly took advantage of someone's car. Shouldn't you just smile?"
"You're crazy!"
With an angry cry, the girl opened the door and got out of the car. At this moment, her WeChat rang with a new message alert. The girl took out her phone from her shoulder bag, opened WeChat and clicked on the new message, which was a voice message.
"Su Cheng, what's wrong with you? I told you to buy something, why are you so slow? I'm really angry. Have you finished shopping? When will you be back? I'm telling you, if you continue to be like this, don't come back to see me. Do you hear me? Oh my God, I'm really crazy. Why would I ask you to be my assistant?"
"Got it, Sister Xiaoxiao, I'll be back soon!"
After replying, she put the phone back into her shoulder bag, pouted her lips and exhaled, put on a smile, then walked back into the car, looked at the young man and smiled:
"Since you are so handsome, I forgive you!"
After that, she looked at the young man and grinned:
"Is this okay?"
"Please, stop pretending you don't know me. Can you please stop acting?"
The young man looked at the girl and scolded:
"Go away, I don't want to see you again!"
"Why are you going away?"
Being insulted by the young man again, the girl couldn't help but get angry and said:
"Don't you have any manners in speaking?"
Not wanting to waste time talking to the girl, the young man pushed her out of the car and said mockingly:
"You like watching Kyushu Sky City, so how could you not know who I am? I've seen many girls who want to chat with me, but this is the first time I've seen someone as shameless as you. And you want to take my car? You're dreaming. Don't seduce men on the street all day, you low-IQ idiot!"
The young man pushed her out of the car, spilling her coffee and milk tea all over the floor. The girl, who was already crying but couldn't, heard the insults coming from behind. She stood up, turned around, and slapped the car window angrily:
"What are you talking about? You have a low IQ. If a tiger doesn't show its might, do you think I'm Hello Kitty?"
The young man closed the car doors and windows, climbed from the back seat to the driving position, and drove away while opening the front window and mocking the girl:
"Hello Kitty, Goodbye Kitty, Bye!"
"Come out, come out, come out if you have the guts, come out!"
"I won't come out, I'll piss you off to death!"
"Hey, I'm so mad, you're not allowed to close the window, you're not allowed to leave!"
"Haha, I'll just leave if I want to. I'll make you so mad. What can you do to me?"
"You are crazy, stop right there, stand still!"
"Hello Kitty, bye!"
With a sneer, the young man drove away. The girl ran a few steps behind the car, but in the end she could only stamp her feet and watch the black business car disappear before her eyes.
She wanted to save some money on taxi fare, but ended up spilling her coffee and milk tea, which made her already tight wallet even worse. She was also pissed off at the psychopath. It was really a case of losing both the wife and the army. The girl walked back to her original place with a depressed look on her face and started to clean up the snacks and garbage on the floor.
Not far away, Yuan Xudong walked out of the flower shop, holding a bunch of red roses in his hand. He passed by the girl and saw her squatting on the ground picking up snacks and garbage. He couldn't help but want to laugh:
"Hello, can I help you?"
“It’s you!”
Looking up at Yuan Xudong, the girl's expression turned from gloomy to bright, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She said:
"If possible, could you help me clean up the snacks? My coffee and milk tea are spilled, and I want to buy a new one!"
"sure !"
Yuan Xudong looked at the girl and bowed slightly and said:
"Your Highness, it is my honor to serve you!"
After saying that, he looked at the girl, stretched out his right hand and smiled:
"Wake up, my princess. My name is Yuan Xudong, Yuan as in Yuan Shao, Xudong as in the rising sun. Can you tell me your name?"
"I'm not some princess!"
Pulling Yuan Xudong's right hand and standing up, the girl looked at him and smiled:
"My name is Su Cheng, Su from Gusu, Cheng from orange. Mr. Yuan, nice to meet you!"
"Miss Orange, I'm glad to meet you too!"
Hearing Yuan Xudong calling her Miss Cheng instead of Miss Su or Su Cheng, Su Cheng asked curiously:
"Mr. Yuan, why do you call me Miss Cheng?"
With a smile on his lips, Yuan Xudong looked at Su Cheng and said with a smile:
"I like eating oranges. When I heard your name Su Cheng, I couldn't help but call you Miss Cheng. If you don't mind, can I call you that?"
"OK!"
Nodding slightly, Su Cheng looked at Yuan Xudong and said with a smile:
"You can also call me Orange, everyone likes to call me that!"
