42: Chapter 0042: Successfully Disgusted Oneself 42: Chapter 0042: Successfully Disgusted Oneself Watching the figure seated on the sofa, toying with the pen holder that he had fashioned from agarwood, Qiu Ruoxi strained every nerve to suppress the overwhelming impulse raging in her heart!
“Ye Xunhuan, no matter what method you use, in the next few days you’d better keep Su Guyan company.”
The look in Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes was as sharp as a knife, cutting into Ye Xunhuan here and there—if looks could kill, Ye Xunhuan would have been dead by now under Qiu Ruoxi’s gaze.
As Qiu Ruoxi once again steered the conversation back to Su Guyan, Ye Xunhuan had no choice but to lift his head and look at Qiu Ruoxi, “Do you know that woman is dangerous, someone wants to kill her, and today they even…”
“Aren’t you quite the fighter…”
“I’m indeed great at dealing with petty thieves, but big sister, those were assassins…”
“I don’t care, you must get along well with Su Guyan.” Qiu Ruoxi started to act like a spoilt little girl.
“You don’t care, I don’t care either!” Ye Xunhuan mimicked Qiu Ruoxi’s voice.
Seeing Qiu Ruoxi’s eyes beginning to blaze with flames, Ye Xunhuan immediately said, “Is she that important to you?”
“Yes!” Qiu Ruoxi declared coldly, “Very important!”
“More important than me?”
“She’s so dangerous, and yet you’re sending me to keep her company—are you not pushing me into a pit of fire?”
As Ye Xunhuan spoke, it seemed like he had suddenly realized something and exclaimed, “Oh, I get it now, you’ve found yourself a new pretty boy, haven’t you?
So you want to use the person trying to kill Su Guyan as a means to get rid of me, then you two can live happily ever after…”
“Let me tell you, Qiu Ruoxi, in your dreams…”
Hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, Qiu Ruoxi’s nose was nearly bent out of shape with anger.
What on earth did this bastard take her for!
“To hell with your ‘right’!”
Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but curse, truly infuriated by Ye Xunhuan.
Was that the kind of person she, Qiu Ruoxi, was?
Even if she found Ye Xunhuan intolerable and wanted to deal with him, did she need to get someone else’s hands dirty?
The moment she announced that Ye Xunhuan was her husband, who knows how many people would want him dead!
“Wow, wifey, so you can swear like a sailor.” Ye Xunhuan looked at Qiu Ruoxi with astonishment as if he had discovered a new world.
“Ye Xunhuan, don’t you dare assume everyone has the same filthy mind as you.” Qiu Ruoxi scoffed coldly, “I want you to accompany Su Guyan because I need her assistance in the business arena!”
“So, Su Guyan really is that important to you?”
“Yes!” Qiu Ruoxi affirmed emphatically, “Soon I’ll be inviting Su Guyan out to dinner!”
“Alright, if that’s the case, then I’ll keep her company properly!” Ye Xunhuan sighed in resignation, “But let me say this upfront, what if Su Guyan wants me to sleep with her?
“I’m so handsome, so full of masculine charm, it’s not impossible for such a thing to happen.
So, should I agree right away, or should I hesitate a bit, feign modesty for a while and then agree…”
At this moment, Qiu Ruoxi was nearly exploding with rage.
She had seen countless shameless men, but they were nothing compared to Ye Xunhuan—they couldn’t even hold a candle to him, the grandmaster of shamelessness!
When Ye Xunhuan decided to ditch his dignity, he did so without any reservations.
“With that look of yours, Su Guyan would fancy you only if she were blind.”
“You could marry me, but if someone else fancies me, they’re blind?
What about you then?”
“As if I wasn’t forced into it as well.”
“Okay, okay, I’ll handle Su Guyan for you.”
Since Ye Xunhuan had already been unable to refuse Su Guyan, he might as well just agree in front of Qiu Ruoxi.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan agree, the ashen look on Qiu Ruoxi’s face slowly started to improve.
Although she disliked Ye Xunhuan, even to the point of aversion, she had to admit that the guy had a way with women, especially with his words, which could twist black into white.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now!”
As he spoke, Ye Xunhuan picked up the agarwood pen holder, intending to leave Qiu Ruoxi’s office.
“Is there anything else?”
“My parents will arrive tomorrow, you’ll accompany me to the airport to pick them up.”
“They’re coming tomorrow?” Ye Xunhuan immediately turned his head, looking at Qiu Ruoxi with some surprise.
Although Qiu Ruoxi had already informed him that her in-laws would be coming in the next few days, Ye Xunhuan hadn’t expected it to be so soon!
Almost like a surprise attack.
“Remember, don’t forget, you’re accompanying me to meet them tomorrow!”
“Oh!” Ye Xunhuan replied noncommittally, and once again started walking towards the door.
“What else is there?”
“Leave my stuff behind.” Qiu Ruoxi demanded sternly, staring at Ye Xunhuan.
Ye Xunhuan glanced at the pen holder in his hand: “Consider this pen holder as my fee for accompanying Su Guyan!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Xunhuan walked towards the door again, looking at the pen holder and murmuring, “Such a beautiful pen holder, Yu Rou will definitely like it!”
“Maybe if I could have another spicy hotpot with her, I might not have to go home, hehe…”
Every word Ye Xunhuan said fell on Qiu Ruoxi’s ears.
Instantly, Qiu Ruoxi’s flawless face was enveloped in a layer of frost, her fists clenched tight.
This jerk, flirting right in front of her own face, he was definitely doing it to provoke her…
But why was she angry?
Why should she be angry?
If he went out flirting, wouldn’t she have some peace and quiet?
So why was she angry?
Right, he must have managed to disgust her!
After leaving Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan went straight to Tang Yurou.
Upon returning to Tang Yurou’s office, Ye Xunhuan presented the pen holder to Tang Yurou, and her face lit up with delight.
“Xunhuan, why does it smell so nice…”
Hearing Tang Yurou’s remark, Ye Xunhuan thought to himself: Could an agarwood pen holder not smell good?
However, Ye Xunhuan didn’t voice this thought, as Tang Yurou was a highly educated person.
Even if she hadn’t seen agarwood before, she’d definitely heard of its considerable value.
If she found out the truth later and refused to accept it, would he have to return it to Qiu Ruoxi?
“Maybe the manufacturer added some fragrance during production!”
