Chapter 369: Dinner with him alone? He must be joking. (2)

He had done his research before he showed up and knew that Shu Yan was Hu Ruixue’s current best friend. He was extremely pa.s.sionate toward her.

“Miss Shu, I have heard so many good things about you from Xiao Xue. Now that I’ve met you, I’ve learned that she wasn’t just saying it. You are as good as she said.” Ji Fansheng had a warm and sunny smile, his voice tender and, when he looked straight at one, he could make one feel that one was the only thing in his eyes.

Shu Yan truly disliked a man who tried to be so charming all the time.

“Is that so? Here I thought Xiao Xue bad mouths me all the time.” Shu Yan smiled, gave Hu Ruixue a look, and said, “I have something else to take care of. I’m heading out now.”

“Wait. Are you free this afternoon? Have lunch with us. You are Xiao Xue’s friend and partner. I have yet to take you out to lunch since I have been back. I have been wanting to thank you for taking care of Xiao Xue.”

The way he put it, he was a.s.suming the role of Hu Ruixue’s boyfriend. Unfortunately, Hu Ruixue was not interested at all. Naturally, as a friend, Shu Yan wasn’t going to row the opposite direction. She smiled apologetically and said, “I’m sorry. There’s a lot to take care of around the office lately. I can’t today. Maybe next time.”

Hu Ruixue came to the office with a tired look a few days later and collapsed on the couch, exhausted. “Ji Fansheng had the audacity to go to my brother and my parents. He knows that my parents like him. Now, with the exception of my brother, my parents and some relatives have been suggesting for me to get remarried and kept on praising about him. Am I that awful? That they are so worried that I won’t be able to get married again? No, wait. I am so upset that I’ve lost my mind. I am fine by myself. I don’t want to get married at all.”

Ji Fansheng wasn’t a bad candidate at all. Their two families’ statuses rival that of each other; he was good looking, educated, and loyal to Hu Ruixue. Every time he went over to the Hu’s he would greet Hu Ruixue’s parents respectfully and was particularly patient with Duoduo. It was no wonder that Mother and Father Hu were happy about him.

“Do you want to sit down and have a conversation with him?”

“I tried; it didn’t work. He insisted that we should spend some time together and that we haven’t seen each other for years and perhaps I would feel differently. Would I not know who I like or not? It so happened that I have heard of an expert overseas that has expertise in autism. I plan to take Duoduo to pay him a visit. You might have to take over the matters with the company for a while.” Hu Ruixue felt that her parents needed some time to calm down.

“Okay. You go. Don’t worry about things here. Duoduo is more important.” Shu Yan, too, felt that Hu Ruixue’s parents were rushing things.

After Hu Ruixue left the country with Duoduo, the roses disappeared from the office. Many of the female employees were very disappointed. These flowers were, after all, very pretty. Shu Yan even joked with Feng Zeyu after work. “Thanks to Hu Ruixue, I have been going home with a bouquet of roses everyday for the last few days. Everybody in the neighborhood thought they were from you. Oh, how those women were envious of me.”

She was only kidding with Feng Zeyu but she, too, saw a big bouquet of flowers the next day. It was not as impressive as 999 roses but it had 99 of them. The receptionist’s smile was loaded, “This time it wasn’t for Boss Hu, Boss Shu. They are for you.”

Shu Yan looked at the card and smiled helplessly. She really was just kidding with Feng Zeyu but he sent flowers the very next day.
