Chapter 130: Discussing Marriage
Chapter 130
Xiao Chen was drinking water when he heard this. He almost spit it out on his face.
"Little brother," he wiped his mouth, his ears turned red, "can you not be so straightforward?"
Xiao Jiang's face also turned red. He stood there at a loss, avoided Xiao Chen's eyes, and stammered, "I, I, I... I'm reminding you! You still have a meeting later."
Xiao Chen was amused: "Okay."
He looked at Xiao Jiang's innocent and shallow expression, tapped the table with his fingers, "Do you really want to date a girl?"
Xiao Jiang tried to please his boss: "No, I just want to work hard and serve you."
But Xiao Chen didn't buy it at all. "Don't disgust me, tell the truth."
"...I want to date, but there is no suitable one," Xiao Jiang said awkwardly.
"If I knew a lot of girls, I might have introduced you. What a pity—" Xiao Chen sighed long, with an annoying look, "I only have your sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
Xiao Jiang forced himself to swallow his grievances, "Well, having a leader like you is my blessing."
Xiao Chen patted his shoulder, "You're welcome. If my brother causes trouble again, just help me get rid of him."
Xiao Jiang: ?
Yu Na slept until four o'clock in the afternoon.
When she woke up, she saw a note on the bedside table.
【I'm going to a meeting, just put some fruits in the fridge, they are all washed - Xiao Chen】
Shallow dimples appeared on her face.
Yu Na took out her phone and took a picture of the note, then folded the note and put it in the small pocket of her sling bag.
There were strawberries and cherries in the fridge, bright in color and sweet and sour.
That day, Yu Na saw Xiao Chen's working style, which was completely different from his private side.
He was very flirtatious in private, but very meticulous at work, serious and attractive.
He was not a very serious boss. On the contrary, he often joked with his employees and created a relaxed and happy working atmosphere.
...
Yu Na loved his contrast so much that every weekend, she would cook and then come to find him.
Later, Xiao Chen directly sent a driver to pick her up at the hotel.
The two ate lunch together in the office. After lunch, Xiao Chen hugged her back to the room, closed the curtains, made out, and then coaxed her to sleep.
After she fell asleep, Xiao Chen continued to work. He would also put fruits in the fridge for her every day.
When he finished, he took Yu Na home together.
As they rode in the car, they felt the gradually cooling weather and watched the fast-paced scenery of this bustling city.
Every Saturday, Yu Na wished she could stick with him every minute and every second.
Only on that day did she feel that her life was her own. At other times, she focused all her attention on work.
Life went by busily and fulfilling. Yu Na was also used to the devilish high school life.
The fancy blackboard newspapers on the back of the classroom were replaced by dull college entrance examination countdowns.
Yu Na had promised before that if Qiao Rui and Xu Yi's scores improved significantly at the same time, she would put their seats together again.
The two kids did it, and Yu Na fulfilled her promise.
Life was like a quiet lake. Occasionally there was wind blowing by, causing ripples, but it wouldn't take long to calm down again.
On a Wednesday at the end of November, there was a charity gala at Changwan S Hotel.
Famous entrepreneurs, top celebrities and philanthropists from all walks of life would attend this gala, including Xiao Chen’s parents, who would also come to Changwan.
After Xiao Chen saw the confirmation attendance list sent by the organizer, his hand shook.
Yu Na's father was at the top of the list.
Listed with his father was Yu Na's mother.
- Her parents would attend this gala.
"President Xiao..." Xiao Jiang noticed Xiao Chen's abnormality, "what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Xiao Chen coughed pretentiously.
Xiao Jiang added: "Many new faces of charity dinners will debut at this event, such as President You, who is ranked first from the Zhongsheng Group."
"..."
Xiao Chen pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, "Is that so?"
Xiao Jiang: "Yes, I heard that President You rarely participates in these activities. This is the first charity dinner he attends."
Xiao Chen thought, is the purpose of his attendance this time because of him and Yu Na?
Xiao Jiang thought he was very interested, so he continued, "Many celebrities will also attend this event."
Xiao Chen was not interested in celebrities, but with more celebrities, there would be more fans. He couldn’t help but instructed: "Make sure the security work is in place."
"Okay, I know."
Xiao Jiang was about to leave, but seeing Xiao Chen's expression was a little abnormal, he couldn't help asking with concern, "President Xiao, is there an enemy or someone you fear on the list?"
Xiao Chen: ?
Xiao Jiang boldly probed, "Or is there someone better than you that Yuna's father has found to be her marriage partner, so you will become a sacrificial object?"
Xiao Chen looked up and gave him a threatening look.
Xiao Jiang fearlessly and tactfully reminded: "I feel your lips look a little pale—" He accidentally told the truth and hurriedly changed his words, "No no, they look a little dry. I remember seeing Yuna’s lip balm here last time, do you want—"
Xiao Chen suddenly interrupted him, "Have I been too nice to you recently?"
Xiao Jiang: "..."
Whenever Xiao Chen said this, it meant he was angry.
Xiao Jiang originally wanted to care about him, but instead made things worse. He had to shut up.
Seeing how scared he was, Xiao Chen restrained himself a little and casually changed the subject, "Do I need that lip balm stuff when my lips are dry?"
Xiao Jiang's eyelids twitched slightly, sensing that this guy was about to say dirty words.
Sure enough—
Xiao Chen crossed his legs casually, "I have my wife to kiss me."
Xiao Jiang: "..."
Based on his understanding of Xiao Chen, the next sentence should stimulate him.
And he guessed right again.
"Do you?" Xiao Chen dragged his voice and slowly mocked him, "single dog."
After being provoked, Xiao Jiang was not angry, but relieved instead.
Because he had confirmed that here, no one could understand Xiao Chen better than him. So even if he said the wrong thing one day, Xiao Chen would not bear to fire him.
At most he would scold him twice.
But being paid such a high salary, the top level in the industry, what's a scolding or two!
...
Xiao Chen told Yu Na about her father coming to Changwan for the gala that day.
Yu Na had the same reaction as him, scared with a pale face.
The scene of her father blocking her at the school gate in a Rolls Royce was still fresh in her memory, and it still frightened her to think back now.
"It's okay," Yu Na comforted him, and also comforted herself, "My dad has agreed to us, hasn't he?"
"Yes, but I’m so fxxking afraid of your dad! What if he changes his mind? Or what if he has found a better marriage partner for you, then I will become the sacrificial object!"
Whenever it came to Yu Na's father, Xiao Chen would be so nervous that cold sweat broke out, looking more exaggerated than being in a haunted house.
"...What are you thinking, impossible," Yu Na paused, "I guess..."
...
Because many top celebrities attended this gala, the attention was very high. Since the announcement, the related topics had always been on the hot search trends.
The attendance list had also been on the hot search list all the time.
At school, many students were also discussing it. Many celebrity fans secretly skipped classes to see their idols.
Yu Na clicked on Weibo and found the list. At a glance, she saw her parents' names.
On Monday night, while Yu Na was supervising evening self-study in the classroom and preparing lessons, she suddenly received a message from her father—
【I'm going to a gala in Changwan on Wednesday. Come to S Hotel at noon to see me】
Yu Na’s classes were in the last period in the morning and the first period in the afternoon.
Her fingers trembled as she replied: 【Okay Dad, but could it be a little later? I may not have much time at noon】
Yuna's father: 【I came here to discuss your marriage with Xiao Chen with his parents】
Yuna's father: 【So do you have time now?】
