Chapter 275 I Like You

Chapter 275 I Like You

The more she acted this way, the more certain Qin Luofeng became that he had guessed correctly.

There aren't many people that the eldest daughter of the Chi family can't afford to offend. Even the Qin and Li families are more of a choice between not wanting to offend them, rather than being unable to afford to offend them.

Only Huo Zhizhou.

This man is enigmatic and unfathomable, yet wields immense power.

He is Jiang Ruan's ex-husband. Although they are divorced, Jiang Ruan still has custody of the child.

It's normal that he doesn't want Jiang Ruan to be known by the public. After all, no man, especially one with status and position, wants others to know that he couldn't even win custody of his child.

The more I think about it...

The more I think about it, the more I feel it's him.

"Okay," Qin Luofeng said before hanging up the phone.

If it were anyone else, he could do everything he could to tell them to stay out of it, but Huo Zhizhou was someone even his grandfather respected. Going against him would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

With that in mind, he went home and told Qin Muchuan about it.

Since it involves shares, Dad won't ignore it.

Jiang Ruan was unaware of this matter. She spent the rest of her holiday learning about everything at the company, including but not limited to its current situation, past projects, and future plans.

The company currently only has one project with extremely low profit margin, and it has already borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan from the bank. Until it receives a new project, the company will have to rely on loans to pay salaries and buy equipment.

Ye Yanzhi arrived while she was pondering these things.

Seeing that she was engrossed in her work, he didn't disturb her and quietly went inside to wait for her.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Ruan felt a pain in her neck and rubbed it.

She looked up and saw Ye Yanzhi sitting on the sofa next to her. She paused, her eyes filled with surprise and joy: "When did you arrive?"

"Just arrived." Ye Yanzhi stood up.

Jiang Ruan put down her work: "Why didn't you call me?"

Ye Yanzhi came up behind her and reached out to massage her shoulders: "I was afraid that making a sound would interrupt your train of thought."

People should not be disturbed when they are deeply immersed in thinking about a problem.

At best, it can disrupt one's train of thought.

In severe cases, you might forget everything you just thought of.

"You need to take care of your health even when you're busy with work." Ye Yanzhi noticed that her neck and shoulders were a bit stiff and reminded her, "If you keep going like this, you'll get lumbar disc herniation and cervical spondylosis before you even finish your work."

"I haven't been paying attention these past two days," Jiang Ruan said truthfully.

She used to exercise at least once every two days, if not every day, because she knew very well that health was the foundation of everything.

Ye Yanzhi carefully massaged her: "Does it hurt here?"

Jiang Ruan answered truthfully, "A little."

Ye Yanzhi pressed it carefully.

Feeling that his technique was very professional, Jiang Ruan was a little surprised: "Your massage skills are quite good."

"very nice?"

"Um."

"That's good then." For the first time, Ye Yanzhi felt that Su Zhu was somewhat useful. If she hadn't punched and kicked him and treated him, a young master, like a subordinate, he wouldn't have acquired such skilled massage techniques.

Thinking about these things.

Ye Yanzhi said to Jiang Ruan, "I will massage you every day from now on, so that you don't develop any illnesses."

"No need." Jiang Ruan rarely troubled others, even her friends. "I'll have Mo Mo buy two massage chairs later, and I'll use them for a few minutes every day after I'm done with my work."

“A machine feels much better when someone is massaging it,” Ye Yanzhi quickly said. “I’ll take care of your massage.”

Jiang Ruan: "?"

Jiang Ruan turned to look at him.

Ye Yanzhi felt a little guilty under her gaze: "What's wrong?"

After all, they were childhood friends, and Jiang Ruan could tell at a glance that Ye Yanzhi was hiding something: "Do you need my help with something?"

"No."

"real?"

"Of course it is!" Ye Yanzhi blurted out without thinking, his words carrying a hint of smugness as always. "Someone as outstanding as me, what can't I solve on my own?"

“Yes,” Jiang Ruan said.

Ye Yanzhi continued massaging her: "What?"

Thinking about his playful interactions with Su Zhu, Jiang Ruan made a bold guess: "Feelings."

Ye Yanzhi paused in his massage, his heart tightening.

That instant.

Many ideas popped into his head.

Did Xiao Jiang find out?

What were her feelings? Did she like him? Did she hate him? Or did she never want to see him again?

“Looks like I guessed right.” Jiang Ruan noticed his change in mood.

Ye Yanzhi pursed his lips and looked at her.

From his angle, he couldn't see the expression on her face, so he could only ask nervously based on her tone, "So what do you think?"

"If you like her, just confess," Jiang Ruan advised him, hoping he could be brave. "In this fast-paced era, don't hesitate too much. You can boldly tell her."

"What if she refuses?" Ye Yanzhi asked.

“It’s okay if you refuse.” Jiang Ruan thought about Su Zhu’s personality. “We can still be friends.”

Ye Yanzhi's hand on her shoulder tightened little by little, his chest pounding violently: "But some people say that after confessing, you might not even be able to be friends anymore."

"That's because the person who confessed didn't want to be friends." Jiang Ruan had no idea that the person he liked was her.

Ye Yanzhi: "?"

Ye Yanzhi darted to sit down opposite her: "Why?"

"Because I like it so much, I don't want any relationship other than a romantic one." Jiang Ruan said this based on her personality, "Including friends."

"You're lying." Ye Yanzhi took this opportunity to find out the situation, but his expression was just as nonchalant as before. "Have you forgotten how cold you used to be when you rejected people? Some of them were even friends you usually got along with."

"Really?" Jiang Ruan couldn't quite remember.

"Yes!" Ye Yanzhi remembered it clearly!

"That must be because he doesn't want to be disturbed while studying." Jiang Ruan's best friends were all from before college, that is, high school, "and she didn't want him to waste his time on such trivial things."

Ye Yanzhi thought about it carefully.

That seems... to make some sense.

Back then, when those guys went to find Xiao Jiangjiang after confessing their feelings, she was either doing exams or memorizing texts.

"You really won't distance yourself from the friends who confessed their feelings to you?" Ye Yanzhi asked.

“Normally not.” Jiang Ruan was still objectively analyzing things for him, “but if he causes me trouble, or if he’s too love-obsessed, then he might.”

Ye Yanzhi suddenly felt relieved, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up: "That's good."

Jiang Ruan: "?"

That's good.

Not knowing the details, she didn't think much of it. After all, Su Zhu wasn't the type to distance herself after being confessed to. Ye Yanzhi was a good friend she had grown up with since childhood, so even if Su Zhu didn't like him, she would probably save him some face.

"Little Jiang Jiang." Ye Yanzhi pressed his hand against his wildly beating heart, his palms covered in sweat.

Jiang Ruan snapped out of her daze and looked at him: "Hmm?"

Ye Yanzhi met her gaze and said, "I like you. Would you give me a chance to pursue you?"

He spoke frankly and directly.

It's just like the crushes of teenagers during their adolescence.
