Since this wretched chap was so persistent even when his wife had let him off the hook this time, he shall fulfill his wish then .
Zhao Zheng became furious . “I know that you must have forbidden Xuxu to come . But you were also the one who suggested Jiangnan River Delta, and I’ve already booked a VIP room . So are you taking me for a ride when you changed your mind about coming?”
‘I forbade Xuxu to go?’
‘Ha, this chap was so good at consoling himself . ’ Yan Rusheng gave a dry laugh . “All right, we’ll be there right away . ”
After pausing for a while, he continued, “By the way, Ming Ansheng and Lu Yinan called me earlier . I told them you’re giving a treat, so they asked to come along . I hope you don’t mind including another two more people . ”
Zhao Zheng magnanimously answered, “Of course, I wouldn’t mind . We’re old classmates . ”
“Good . ” Yan Rusheng nodded and a sinister smile flashed across his face .
He concluded the call and hung up .
Then, he turned around and threw the phone back to Xuxu .
When they reached, Ming Ansheng had recently arrived, too . Both cars met at the entrance of the Jiangnan River Delta carpark .
Coincidentally, both cars parked side by side .
“So flamboyant today . ” Yan Rusheng’s answer had diminished . With one hand propped on the car window, he stuck his head out and looked intently at the black Ferrari sports car parked next to his .
He knew that Ming Ansheng had purchased this car on his 25th birthday last year . But after just driving once, he didn’t see him driving this car again .
So he was pleasantly surprised to see him driving it today .
Ming Ansheng curled his lips . “I occasionally need to change my style . ”
He opened the car door and got off the car as he spoke .
Yan Rusheng also alighted from his car and surveyed Ming Ansheng from head to toe . A meaningful smile appeared at the corners of his lips . “Young Master Ming is dressed to flirt today, too . ”
Ming Ansheng looked down at his own dressing . If Yan Rusheng hadn’t mentioned, he wouldn’t have even realized it . After a second look, he received shocked—the way he dressed seemed like he was ready to… flirt .
He was wearing a white T-shirt and faded blue jeans .
He hadn’t worn jeans for many years . He was either in sweatpants or business pants .
Come to think of it, as of late, when he was not at work he would dress casually . Otherwise, in the past, he’d always be in business suits when he was out of the house .
As he looked at himself in the mirror, he got lost in his thoughts and had a brief passing of guilt . He then lifted his head to look at Yan Rusheng .
He knew that this subtle change in him most probably had to do with Su Yue .
“Let’s go . ” Yan Rusheng detected nothing amiss with Ming Ansheng and urged him to make a move . With one hand stuffed into the pocket of his pants, he turned around to hold Xuxu with his other hand . They strode towards the main entrance of Jiangnan River Delta .
Su Yue followed behind .
Her small frame resembled a tiny tail as she trailed behind them .
Ming Ansheng’s heart turned soft as he looked at that petite little figure of hers .
His footsteps were unhurried and he had maintained a distance of only a meter away from Su Yue .
“Uncle Ming . ” Just before she stepped into the turnstile, Su Yue suddenly stopped in her steps and turned to look at Ming Ansheng .
The hotel’s entrance lightings reflected her dewy eyes—they looked like bright twinkling stars in the night sky .
Ming Ansheng’s heart pounded again . He halted his steps and his expression looked immeasurably soft . “Yes?”
Now, whenever he looked at her porcelain-dolled face, he had the urge to embrace her .
The more he tried to suppress it, the more intense it felt .
