The four people officially met, and the already rigid atmosphere fell below the freezing point; Xu Chenghao’s scalp was about to explode, and he stood vigilantly at the door, wishing that the door would be locked so that no one could enter.

Honestly, if he wasn’t sure that he was the only one who knew about the little pepper mission, Xu Chenghao was beginning to wonder if they had come at a deliberate pinch. Especially Jing Yicheng, this person was really a yin spirit, his figure would appear every harvest time, it was really annoying!!!

The yin soul-most annoying Jing Yicheng walked out of the elevator slowly, “Don’t look at me like that; I’m following Ruan Chenxuan here.”

Xu Chenghao didn’t believe his bullshit, “It’s his business to come, does it have anything to do with you?”

Jing Yicheng vaguely reminded: “Yes, at least I have to be sure that nothing will happen.”

Xu Chenghao froze before he realized that the other party meant that he was afraid that he and the male and female lead would turn shields and axes into jade and silk1化干戈為玉帛: Turn hostility to friendship/ war to peace. and gang up to screw him over when the time came.

Xu Chenghao thought about it and was surprisingly speechless.

That’s a really good reason.

Not to mention the male lead, Ruan Chenxuan. His girlfriend suddenly ran to find her ex-fiancé. As a man hearing this news, he couldn’t bear it. It is normal to want to come and see things for himself.

So …… is this a coincidence???

Xu Chenghao admitted to himself that he was unlucky and could only think fast in his head about the odds of not letting them in the door.

Just as this thought fell, Xu Chenghao felt the door panel he was leaning against suddenly disappear, and he was caught off guard as his entire body leaned backward, just in time to see Li Nian’s wide-eyed panicked look.

“Fuck, Fuck, Fuck! “Li Nian caught Xu Chenghao, who almost toppled over while surveying this Asura field-like gathering, his eyes carrying a restrained light of gossip.

The other two didn’t have any reaction to his appearance other than some surprise, but on the contrary, An Ruoyu looked him up and down and looked at him in a very strange way.

What does this mean? Li Nian couldn’t figure it out, so he could only vaguely sweep his eyes at Jing Yicheng and Ruan Chenxuan and asked in a low voice in Xu Chenghao’s ear, “What’s going on? When did so many people come here?”

Xu Chenghao said helplessly, “Just now… Probably came to catch the traitor.”

Li Nian understood in a second: “Oh~~~.”

Ruan Chenxuan, who had been silent for a while’s blue veins, suddenly palpitated and said in a cold voice, “Since President Xu already knows what I’m here for, why don’t you explain to me what you and my girlfriend were doing just now?

Xu Chenghao looked him up and down a few times, “I’m explaining to you? I think you still haven’t figured out what’s going on, right? I was properly preparing dinner at home by myself, and it was your girlfriend who came to me, do you understand? Even if you are questioning, you should ask your girlfriend, not me.”

The anger in Ruan Chenxuan’s eyes intensified, and he immediately turned his head to look at An Ruoyu: “You explain!”

An Ruoyu has just been smashed by the heavy news that her first love likes men and was caught on the spot by her current boyfriend, the whole person had turned completely dumb, and it was like her head had been filled with paste, unable to think, she could only say: “Yes, it is I came to find him …… I am kind… …I ……”

Ruan Chenxuan looked at her with a cold and sullen expression, seemingly not resting without an explanation.

An Ruoyu was stared at by everyone, nervous and aggrieved, her eyes instantly became misty, and she cried, “Chenxuan, you have to believe me, I really have nothing to do with him, I am innocent… listen to my explanation… ….”

Xu Chenghao almost spat out a mouthful of blood. You say you’ll explain, then explain properly; why cry! Why don’t you just say it clearly? Saying this is just like trying to make a cover-up!

Li Nian was also at a loss for words and said, “Miss An, if you have something to say, it’s best to say it carefully and clearly, don’t cry around and make things even more unclear.”

An Ruoyu, who was originally crying, seemed to be instantly provoked and suddenly shouted, “I don’t need you to worry about it!”

Li Nian was stunned and a little confused by the roar… Mom, is he hated because he just hung up the audio-visual doorbell?

Xu Chenghao, who was in the know, stifled a laugh and said righteously, “Miss An, please be polite to my people!”

As if she was wronged, An Ruoyu cried even louder: “Hao gege…how can you…can…”

“That’s enough!” Ruan Chenxuan interrupted her crying and her words that didn’t make sense, “My patience is limited, I don’t want to see you guys flirting here, An Ruoyu, tell me, what the hell are you here for!”

An Ruoyu choked, “I’m sorry Chenxuan, I came this time to tell Hao gege about the project …… I hope he can give up fighting to prevent damage in time. I know I’m wrong to hide it from you, but I’m really worried that both of you will lose. I hope you can get along peacefully, okay?”

Ruan Chenxuan’s eyes began to burst into anger: “An Ruoyu do you know what you’re doing? While I was fighting and working hard for our future, you were hung up on other men in your heart and even hid from me and hurt me because of him, right?”

An Ruoyu: “No, it’s not …… I just don’t want to see either of you get hurt anymore, I don’t want to see this situation, you’re the person I love the most, he’s my dearest brother, I really don’t want to lose either of you.”

Ruan Chenxuan was exasperated: “Don’t want to lose anyone? Have you forgotten what you swore at the beginning? Who was the one who told me that I was the one she liked the most, that she would be good to me with all her heart and would always support me?”

“Look what you’ve done now? Did you not think of me when you were so worried about him? Haven’t you thought about the crisis I’d face if I failed at this? Don’t you know how much effort I’ve made to get back in power?”

Even the cold and calm male lead in the book is hysterical, angry, and sad when faced with love. He doesn’t care at all about anyone watching the drama or how he looks; all he cares about is whether this woman has him in her heart or not!

It was probably the first time they had argued, and An Ruoyu could do nothing but cry and sob unexplainably.

Ruan Chenxuan looked at this woman and suddenly felt a bit ridiculous. He had tried to pull in Jiang’s group to expand their territory in order to guard against Xu Chenghao and Jing Yicheng, wanting to use his strength to protect their future.

But the other party couldn’t feel his intentions at all and was even ruining his mind – ruining his mind for another man!

Ruan Chen Xuan experienced heartache for the first time and gritted his teeth, “You’re really good, An Ruoyu, you’re really good!!!”

“Chenxuan you don’t get angry …… Chenxuan ……,” An Ruoyu panicked and pounced over to hug him, crying, “It’s because I didn’t consider your feelings and thought things too simply, I believe Hao gege will not give you a hard time, I actually still want you guys to cooperate …… Chenxuan you believe me …… I really didn’t mean it ……”

Ruan Chenxuan: “You didn’t do it on purpose? Could it be that I made you run so far to tell Xu Chenghao?”

“I …… I just ……” The more An Ruoyu panicked, the more she didn’t know how to explain; she could only say, “I was the one who thought things were too simple. Chenxuan, actually you guys can cooperate, you can work together against the Jiang family, can’t you? You don’t hurt each other, okay?”

Ruan Chenxuan wrinkled his brows slightly and didn’t answer.

Seeing this, An Ruoyu knew there was a chance and immediately said, “I want Hao gege to stop losing money in time and not to be dragged down by the Jiang family, it’s actually good for you too, if you cooperate. It might be better to profit than to confront each other isn’t it? You can cooperate, you don’t need to confront each other at all.”

Ruan Chenxuan reached out and pulled her arm away; looking at her pearly face, he suddenly said, “I can’t believe- I couldn’t tell for a moment who you were trying to help instead.”

An Ruoyu confessed, “One of you is my lover and one is my relative, I want to help both of you …… although it botched up and I ended up making you sad,I am sorry, I will pay more attention in the future.”

Ruan Chenxuan looked at her for a long time, but in the end, he didn’t say anything and turned to Xu Chenghao: “Now that things have come to a head, since Mr. Xu already knows my plan, how about we talk about it?”

Xu Chenghao: “No, now, it’s my rest time and I don’t really want to talk about things.”

Next to him, Jing Yicheng slightly curled his lips, seemingly very satisfied with this answer.

Ruan Chenxuan said in a deep voice, “Regarding Jiang’s group’s project, I believe that as long as President Xu is willing to put aside his grudges, we can completely reach a win-win situation.”

Xu Chenghao: “If Mr. Ruan is sincere then arrange an appointment to go through the official procedure during my working hours, now I’m hungry and need to eat, why don’t you guys be my guest?”

Saying that, Xu Chenghao gestured for Li Nian to go in first, while he himself took a few steps back and tugged on the door handle with one hand, ready to close the door.

Ruan Chenxuan: “I’ll concede!”

Xu Chenghao paused and looked at Ruan Chenxuan with astonishment, “You, give me a concession? If I remember correctly, you were the one who cut off the Xu family!”

Ruan Chenxuan said, “Cooperation is all about profit, and as I said, as long as Mr. Xu is willing to put aside past grudges, we can achieve a win-win situation.”

Xu Chenghao was a little interested, but he was really hungry; smelling the fragrance of rice at home, his mouth was watering. He was about to reluctantly refuse when Jing Yicheng, who had not said anything next to him, suddenly grabbed his wrist to open the door and coldly said, “In that case, carefully setting an auspicious date does not beat seizing an opportunity2择日不如撞日; lit. carefully setting an auspicious date does not beat seizing an opportunity (idiom) / fig. seize the occasion, I would like to hear how the two of you will achieve a win-win situation!”

Ruan Chenxuan followed closely with a reply, “Yes.”

Xu Chenghao: “……” Fuck, who gave you permission to go in!!!

But Jing Yicheng was suspicious by nature, so if he didn’t finish the matter today, he wouldn’t be at ease. In addition, all of Ruan Chenxuan’s plans were disrupted, so for now, he could only urgently remedy the situation and try to pull Xu Chenghao on board.

In the end, a group of people still grandly entered the room. Li Nian carried bowls and chopsticks, all ready to eat. When he saw this scene, he froze in place, quite surprised, and wowed, “Are you coming in for dinner together?”

Jing Yicheng’s footsteps towards the couch paused, and he turned towards the dining room on time, “Thank you, then I’ll make myself at home.”

Ruan Chenxuan followed closely behind, “Thank you.”

An Ruoyu, who was sobbing, also followed into the dining room and sat down: “Thank you.”

Xu Chenghao: “……”

Li Nian: “…”

He swears he really just said that in passing!!!

T/N: This female lead is so dumb I feel like my hair will grey when she starts talking. Li Nian, always falling into pits, is my new favorite thing, hahaha.

Have a great week~ See you on Friday!!
