Chapter 32 So you still like Jiang Ruan?

"Just take it." Huo Sinian shoved the card into her hand. "My brother does such a mess, I, as his older brother, can't just stand by and do nothing."

Jiang Ruan felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen at that moment.

Putting down what you're holding is wrong, and taking it away is even worse.

“Xin Xin’s classes are every Saturday morning from 8 to 11.” Huo Sinian changed the subject and got down to business. “Each session costs 1,500 yuan. Whether it’s paid daily or monthly is up to you. If the child likes it a lot later, we might add more classes, but we’ll discuss it with you in advance.”

Jiang Ruan wanted to refuse.

Although the hourly wage is high, if her older brother is always here, this amount of money won't be enough for her heart disease treatment.

As if he could read her mind, Huo Sinian said slowly, "When the time comes, just come and find Xin Xin. Most of the time, it's just her and the maids at home."

Jiang Ruan subconsciously looked up, her initial refusal gradually fading.

"If there are no problems, I'll call Lu Er now and we'll sign the contract together." Huo Sinian was exceptionally patient throughout.

Jiang Ruan hesitated, then said, "I want to go back and think about it some more."

"You can tell me if you have any concerns," Huo Sinian said, like an older brother. "I'll help you analyze it."

Jiang Ruan dared not speak.

I can't exactly say I'm afraid of being scammed by you.

"My mother is having surgery, and I'm worried that the timing might clash with it," she casually made up an excuse.

"You can rest assured about that. I will explain your situation to Lu Er." Huo Sinian said gently, "Xin Xin has a lot of extracurricular classes. If you don't have enough time, she can reschedule them at any time. If you really can't do it, you can resign from your job."

Having said all that, it would be too obvious for Jiang Ruan to refuse again.

She handed the card back, saying, "Then please tell Mr. Lu that since you've found a job, I'll return this card to you."

"Okay." Huo Sinian didn't try to refuse anymore.

Ten minutes later.

Jiang Ruan signed the part-time contract. She carefully read the terms and conditions and found no hidden traps. She could leave whenever she wanted without having to pay any penalty or any other terms.

Huo Sinian wanted her to stay for dinner, but Jiang Ruan made an excuse and ran away quickly.

As soon as she stepped out of the villa, the Second Young Master Lu, whom Huo Sinian had mentioned, came downstairs, one hand in his pocket, exuding a nonchalant air: "I wonder how Huo Zhizhou would feel if he knew that his little white rabbit had been recruited here by you to be Xin Xin's dance teacher."

"It's not important." Huo Sinian remained as refined and gentle as ever.

Young Master Lu glanced at him: "Should we have someone accidentally reveal this to him?"

Huo Sinian: "No need, he should already know."

Huo Zhizhou did indeed know. Looking at the message sent by Gu Shixi, a layer of frost appeared on his unfathomable eyes.

He hadn't expected Jiang Ruan to be so bold as to contact Huo Sinian.

They're really fearless.

"I told you not to push people too hard." Gu Shixi was just a spectator, adept at kicking someone when they're down. "Now look what's happened, you've driven them from your den of wolves into your brother's pit of fire."

Huo Zhizhou rubbed his phone in his hand, his aura heavy with tension.

Gu Shixi kindly reminded him, "If you don't take action soon, your brother might cause some more trouble."

"Let him be." Huo Zhizhou's slightly deep eyes seemed to be lost in thought.

"Let him be." Gu Shixi stopped worrying. "Anyway, she's not my wife. It's none of my business if she ends up being coveted or used by someone."

Huo Zhizhou did not speak.

Gu Shixi didn't say anything more; he knew this guy knew what he was doing.

but.

“There’s something I’ve always been curious about.” Gu Shixi sat down on the chair next to him, her eyes full of gossip. “Your brother never lets anyone know who he likes, for fear that you’ll use that person against him. But you do the opposite, as if you’re afraid no one will know that you like Jiang Ruan.”

Huo Zhizhou looked at the darkening sky outside, making no attempt to hide his thoughts: "If you like someone, shouldn't you let everyone know?"

Gu Shixi: "..."

Gu Shixi: "Then you still like Jiang Ruan?"

"I never waste my time on unimportant people," Huo Zhizhou replied indirectly.

Gu Shixi: "If you like each other, why get a divorce?"

Huo Zhizhou glanced at him sideways but didn't reply.

Gu Shixi continued gossiping: "Is Su Anran really that important to you? So important that you can give up someone you've spoiled for so many years?"

"Without her, there would be no me today." Huo Zhizhou never worried about others knowing his thoughts, "and there would be no Jiang Ruan whom I pamper."

"What exactly did she do? Did she save your life or pull you out of the darkness of your youthful troubles?" Gu Shixi was extremely curious. "Or perhaps something more important?"

Huo Zhizhou did not answer.

Gu Shixi stared at him, demanding an answer.

"Where's the ring?" Huo Zhizhou asked, getting down to business.

Gu Shixi immediately took out an expensive velvet box from his pocket and handed it to him. Huo Zhizhou took it and stood up to leave. He had just gotten into the car when he received a call from home informing him that Sui Sui had been picked up by Jiang Ruan.

"Go to Fengyue Huating," Huo Zhizhou instructed the driver.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ruan brought Sui Sui to their new home.

She bought a small cake that Sui Sui loves, lit the candles, and hugged him tightly: "Is it a little uncomfortable to live in such a small house for the first time?"

"No." A smile bloomed on Sui Sui's little face. "As long as I'm with Mommy, I'm happy no matter where I live."

"You're such a sweet baby." Jiang Ruan felt a warmth in her heart. "Mommy promises you, I'll definitely let you live in a big house again in the future."

“Wrong,” Sui Sui said softly.

Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"

"It's Sui Sui who will make Mommy move back into the big house." Sui Sui's big eyes were full of laughter, "to make you happier and more joyful than when you were with Daddy."

Jiang Ruan raised her hand and gently stroked his nose: "You little rascal."

Sui Sui smiled in her arms.

The two blew out the candles together.

Just as I sat down to eat, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Ruan hesitated for a moment but still went over and opened the door. When she saw that it was Huo Zhizhou, she closed the door without hesitation, but Huo Zhizhou easily pushed it open.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Ruan couldn't compete with him, so she stopped trying.

"I heard from the housekeeper that you took Sui Sui away." Huo Zhizhou said this as he walked in with steady steps. "I had to come and see if he was comfortable living here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sui Sui sitting at the dining table.

Before he could speak, Sui Sui raised her little head and answered him: "I'm used to living here. As long as I can be with Mommy, I'm comfortable living anywhere."

"Did you hear that?" Jiang Ruan just wanted to get rid of the person.

"If you're comfortable here, that's fine." Huo Zhizhou came to his side and rubbed his little head. "If you're not comfortable here any day, go to room 1801 next door and find your dad, okay?"

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Sui Sui: "?"

1801?
