Chapter 172 Huo Zhizhou Discusses How Young People Can Coax Others

"Okay," Lin Bei agreed quickly.

Huo Zhizhou drove off without even calling a driver.

Jiang Ruan was still listening to those people say nice things.

As she watched their mouths open and close, she felt as if she had gone deaf. The people coming and going around her seemed to be on fast-forward, and for a moment she didn't even know where she was.

"Madam," Lin Bei called out quietly as he appeared.

Jiang Ruan snapped out of her daze, and upon seeing it was him, her expression remained unchanged: "Is something the matter?"

Lin Bei glanced at his younger brothers who were looking at him, and after thinking it over, he finally spoke up: "The BOSS is on his way."

Jiang Ruan paused for a moment.

Then, suppressing his emotions, he asked calmly, "And then?"

Lin Bei: "He's a little angry."

Jiang Ruan: "What does this have to do with me?"

With her words, the row of handsome, wolf-like yet adorable younger brothers in front of them instantly gained confidence, and each of them spoke without any restraint.

"We were just chatting with our sister because she was unhappy. Is our brother really that petty?"

"If the older brother won't comfort the older sister, then we're not allowed to comfort her too?"

"If I had a girlfriend as good as my sister, I would spoil her rotten. How could I possibly make my sister angry?"

"Sister, if you ever need anything, just come to me. I'll be your confidante."

Lin Bei: "???"

Are young people these days so daring?

Jiang Ruan suppressed her discomfort at these words and turned to Lin Bei, asking, "Did you hear that?"

"I heard you." Lin Bei obediently slipped away.

The wife is probably fine; at most, she'll be locked in a room by the boss and made to feel awkward.

That might not be the case for these teenagers.

"If you see a man come in with that person later, let me know." Jiang Ruan had a plan in mind. She knew this method was stupid, but she had no other choice at the moment.

Everyone agreed.

Huo Zhizhou arrived in about twenty minutes.

Seeing the BOSS manage to compress the forty-minute drive into such a short time, Lin Bei tactfully approached him to tell him the situation: "Madam had a lot of fun. Those young people were so talkative."

Huo Zhizhou tossed him the car keys.

Lin Bei quickly followed.

Huo Zhizhou has an exceptionally good appearance; even in a crowd of people, he is the most eye-catching and attention-grabbing one.

"Sister, someone's here with that person from earlier," someone with sharp eyes reported to Jiang Ruan.

"Never mind him, let's drink." Jiang Ruan picked up the glass of low-alcohol liquor that she hadn't touched before, clinked it with theirs, and drank it down in one gulp in front of Huo Zhizhou.

This process was repeated over and over.

Three cups in a row.

As he swallowed the third cup, Huo Zhizhou sat down next to Jiang Ruan. He exuded an air of nobility, and without saying a word, he gave off a strong sense of pressure.

The group of people who had been making a ruckus just moments before fell silent under his gaze, trying their best to minimize their presence. Even though they didn't know him, they could tell from his demeanor, appearance, and clothing that he was either rich or noble.

It's best to be cautious to protect your job.

"Again." Jiang Ruan put her wine glass on the table.

She could drink several glasses of this low-concentration liquor in a small glass. Right now, she was calculating her alcohol tolerance. Given Huo Zhizhou's temper, he would most likely snatch her glass and not let her drink later.

She could use this as an excuse to break off relations with him.

"Maybe we shouldn't drink it." Someone said in a low voice, intimidated by Huo Zhizhou's imposing presence.

The others were perceptive enough to say, "It's not good to drink too much at night, sister, you'd better not drink."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Lin Bei: "??"

Lin Bei pointed at them and complained to Huo Zhizhou, "Boss, that's not what they said just now. They just said that if the older brother doesn't coax the older sister, they won't be allowed to coax her either."

Huo Zhizhou parted his thin lips slightly: "Is that so?"

Lin Bei: "Yes."

The group of male confidants chuckled awkwardly: "We just saw that Sister was in a bad mood, so we said a few things to please her. Please don't mind."

A string of question marks appeared on Lin Bei's forehead.

Didn't you just return it to your brother?

Why is it you now?

“I don’t mind, keep coaxing her.” Huo Zhizhou pulled Jiang Ruan’s hand and held it in his, his tone gentle and magnetic, “She hasn’t been in a good mood lately.”

Everyone instinctively looked at Jiang Ruan, somewhat uncertain.

Lin Bei's mind went blank for a moment: "Boss, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to let another man coax your wife?"

Huo Zhizhou said unhurriedly, "There's nothing wrong with it. Ruan Ruan is unhappy, and I'm happy to spend a little money to make her happy."

Jiang Ruan: "..."

Everyone: "..."

Lin Bei: "..."

One sentence silenced everyone.

“I’ll also learn from these young people how to coax people.” Huo Zhizhou said this as his dark, deep eyes fell on Jiang Ruan, and his warm, large hand caressed her palm.

Everyone: "..."

I'm drenched in sweat.

Huo Zhizhou glanced at the person who didn't even dare to look him in the eye: "Why don't you keep coaxing people?"

"How are they going to appease you while you're here?" Jiang Ruan had no idea what he was up to. "Does he think everyone is as shameless as some people?"

"I'll go over there." Huo Zhizhou stood up without hesitation, gently rubbing the back of her head. "Talk about whatever you want, drink whatever you want, I'll be here."

These words were like a drop of water falling into Jiang Ruan's calm and uneventful heart, stirring up ripples.

She thought Huo Zhizhou was really skilled.

On one hand, he threatened her and refused to confess the connection between Su Anran and Chengnuo, while on the other hand, he treated her very well, making her hate him in an unstable way.

Whenever he felt he could finally let go, he would water the withered tree, allowing it to grow strong again in her heart.

"Sister, what's making you unhappy?"

"No matter what the reason, we have to make our sister happy today. Didn't you hear what our brother said?"

"elder sister……"

Jiang Ruan didn't hear what was said after that.

She looked towards Huo Zhizhou, who was sitting calmly in the booth, his gaze fixed on her tenderly.

gentle.

She really couldn't understand this person.

He used to get emotionally affected just by saying a few extra words to someone at a banquet, but now he remains unmoved when she talks to a group of people in front of him. She doesn't know whether to say he's generous or that he's hiding his true feelings.

Knowing that this path was a dead end, she stopped acting, picked up her bag, stood up, and said, "That's enough for today. I have to go now."

She had barely left when Huo Zhizhou followed her in the car. After getting in, he asked gently and patiently, "Why did you stop talking?"

Jiang Ruan looked at him.

Why not talk about it? Doesn't he know what's going on?

Huo Zhizhou feigned ignorance: "Huh?"

"You've ruined my mood." Jiang Ruan's words were barbed, and she seemed very distant. "I can't continue the conversation."

Huo Zhizhou asked, "Do you like them?"

Jiang Ruan said defiantly, "Yes."

Huo Zhizhou: "Are you happy being with them?"

Jiang Ruan continued to speak recklessly: "Who wouldn't be happy with a young, handsome, and eloquent man in his early twenties?"

Huo Zhizhou parted his thin lips slightly: "Me."

Jiang Ruan glanced out the window and didn't speak to him again.

Seeing her silence, Huo Zhizhou subtly sent a message to Assistant Jiang: "[Hire a few handsome, good-looking men in their early twenties who are also good at talking to her as Ruan Ruan's bodyguards.]"
