117: Chapter 117: You are Ye Xunhuan 117: Chapter 117: You are Ye Xunhuan The marriage wasn’t over, but life had to go on, and flirting with girls couldn’t stop.
Could we always remain the backup option without fighting back?
So after work, Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou left Huatuu Corporation, chatting and laughing together.
Watching Ye Xunhuan and Tang Yurou chat and laugh as they left, many people felt resentful, but You Minhao and others, who had once celebrated Tang Yurou’s promotion, felt no envy, jealousy, or hatred.
They had seen Ye Xunhuan beat up Mu Rulin, and nothing had happened afterward.
Can it be ordinary that the young master of the prominent Mu family in Jiangzhong City got beat up, and the Mu family didn’t seek revenge?
Unless this person has a solid background, a background so daunting that even the Mu family feared and dared not act rashly.
So, in the eyes of You Minhao and others, Ye Xunhuan was merely a rich idler experiencing life.
Such a person should not be provoked; it’s best to get along if possible.
It’s a trait in Huaxia that although these scions of wealthy families are not good at achieving things, they excel at causing trouble and are skilled at it.
Since Ye Xunhuan didn’t drive, he could only take a taxi with Tang Yurou.
However, for Tang Yurou, going out with Ye Xunhuan, no matter what they did, seemed like a very joyful event.
Thus, a big smile bloomed on Tang Yurou’s face throughout the journey.
In the two months Ye Xunhuan had been in Jiangzhong City, he could be said to have gone wild, knowing almost every fun and tasty place in the city.
That day, feeling cheerful, he started a spontaneous food tour with Tang Yurou.
The two of them played until 9 p.m., when Tang Yurou said she wanted to go home, and only then did they stop.
This time, Ye Xunhuan insisted on escorting Tang Yurou home instead of letting her go alone.
Hence, Tang Yurou gradually agreed after initially refusing.
Tang Yurou was just a girl from an ordinary family; her parents were merely regular workers, so the place they lived couldn’t compare to Qiu Ruoxi’s luxurious villa.
Tang Yurou’s home was located in the old town of Jiangzhong City, which was considered a slum in the eyes of those white-collar and gold-collar workers earning decent salaries.
The alley off the main road twisted and turned like a spider web, and in the middle of the old town stood an old-style building from the last century.
When exactly the building was constructed, Ye Xunhuan didn’t know, but its architecture had a foreign flavor, probably left behind by some foreigners during the war period.
Although it was very old, it was extremely sturdy and durable, having withstood several minor and medium earthquakes without damage.
Perhaps due to its age, the lights in the hallway flickered on and off, also carrying a faintly eerie aura.
And this was where Tang Yurou lived.
It was hard to imagine that a refined and ethereal girl like Tang Yurou had grown up in such a place.
After all, from her appearance, Tang Yurou seemed well-maintained, and even if her family wasn’t wealthy, they should belong to the middle class; but now, Ye Xunhuan realized that Tang Yurou’s family might not even reach middle-class status.
However, compared to some people, Tang Yurou was very lucky because she had a home here, and anyway, it was in the city.
She was the envy of countless people desperate to buy a house and secure a foothold in the city.
“Is it surprising that my home is here?” Tang Yurou’s face beamed with a happy smile.
“Hmm!” Ye Xunhuan nodded earnestly, “If I hadn’t come myself, I really couldn’t imagine your home being here!”
“What did you think then?”
“I thought, even if you’re not a rich heiress, you should live in a better residential area.”
Tang Yurou smiled softly and said nothing.
“I see many places nearby marked with ‘demolition.’ Are they planning to demolish this area?” Ye Xunhuan asked, puzzled.
Tang Yurou nodded, “Yes, the government wants to reform, and since we occupy a large area and the buildings are old, they think of demolishing it!”
In this way, people living here can get a brand-new house,” Ye Xunhuan said sincerely.
Tang Yurou just smiled and said nothing.
Unknowingly, Tang Yurou and Ye Xunhuan had walked down to the stairwell.
At the entrance of the stairwell, Tang Yurou slowly stopped and looked at Ye Xunhuan, “I’m home!”
“Won’t you come up for a while?” Tang Yurou’s hands were clasped together without her noticing, her head lowered, appearing somewhat shy.
Seeing this subtle change in Tang Yurou, Ye Xunhuan gently shook his head, knowing it was a sign of nervousness.
“Not today, it’s getting late, and uncle and aunt must have already gone to rest.
Some other time!” Ye Xunhuan smiled, “You should go up now!”
Tang Yurou nodded, “Then take your time on the way back!”
Then, under Ye Xunhuan’s watchful eye, Tang Yurou slowly walked towards the stairwell.
But she hadn’t taken many steps before she suddenly turned around, ran back to Ye Xunhuan’s side, quickly pecked his cheek like a dragonfly skimming water, and then hurried upstairs.
Ye Xunhuan was stunned for a moment, then began to laugh.
His laughter was somewhat silly, somewhat goofy.
At that moment, Tang Yurou’s heart was filled with tension and a strange emotion!
I kissed him, will he…
will he think I am a very frivolous woman?
At that moment, Tang Yurou’s cheeks were burning red, like fire, but her heart felt sweet as if she had eaten honey.
When Tang Yurou got home, her parents were sitting on the sofa watching TV.
“Yu Rou, have you eaten?” Tang Yurou’s father, Tang Boren, had a broad smile on his face.
As her voice fell, Tang Yurou ran back to her bedroom.
Seeing his daughter rush into the bedroom, Tang Boren looked puzzled at his wife, Zhao Limei, “Limei, have you noticed that Yu Rou has been a bit off these past few days?”
“I noticed that early on!” Zhao Limei said softly.
“What’s wrong with her?”
“She might be in love!”
Hearing Zhao Limei’s words, Tang Boren was firstly stunned, then said worriedly, “Limei, Yu Rou is so pure-hearted, could she have been deceived by someone?”
Hearing Tang Boren’s words, Zhao Limei was also taken aback, somewhat uneasy, “Should we find some time to ask her?”
“We must ask, it’s safer that way.”
After Tang Yurou went upstairs, Ye Xunhuan turned around and left, his face brimming with a broad smile.
However, he hadn’t gone far when suddenly seven or eight burly men appeared in front of him, blocking his path.
The men, each with a fierce expression and piercing cold eyes, had eyes gleaming like the Grim Reaper’s scythe, brewing brutal murderous intent.
Ye Xunhuan immediately sensed a hint of killing intent emanating from them, instantly becoming solemn.
“Are you Ye Xunhuan?” one of them asked.
