You’re My Belated Happiness
Chapter 26 Part 2
Xu Huaisong felt as if his eardrums were going to be pierced by the screams. After a while, he raised his hand trying to push the alarm button again and the young lady stopped him: “You can’t do that! We’ll all fall to death!” She rushed near the doors: “It’s better if we pry open the doors!”
“Miss.” Xu Huaisong tried to be patient: “In theory, the possibility of the elevator falling all the way to the bottom is only slightly higher than a person winning a five-million yuan lottery. Prying open the door, on the other hand, can easily cause a person’s body to be separated in half.”
Ruan Yu shuddered and cleared her throat: “Don’t scare her……”
The young lady started to wail again.
Out of concern that Xu Huaisong would be irritated by the noise, Ruan Yu hurriedly comforted the young lady: “Little sister, don’t cry. Actually, I never have a boyfriend either and I’m already 26……”
“Really?” The young lady took a look at Xu Huaisong’s hand which was circling around Ruan Yu’s shoulder and started wailing and screaming again: “But you at least have someone who’s chasing after you, wu wa…….”
Chase?
Ruan Yu almost choked. Before she had the time to figure out what the word meant exactly, the elevator door slowly opened up. The lights from outside beamed into the elevator. The property management people outside breathed out a sigh of relief. They walked up and asked: “Mister and two ladies, are you all alright?”
Xu Huaisong took a look at the young lady behind him whose legs were shaking: “We’re alright, but this lady might have some problems.” He led Ruan Yu out of the elevator after he finished speaking.
In fact, Ruan Yu’s legs were wobbly as well. Fortunately there was another person who was even more scared than her so, in comparison, she didn’t embarrass herself in front of Xu Huaisong.
Once they were out in a brightly lit area, Ruan Yu stepped away from Xu Huaisong’s arm. She lowered her head so Xu Huaisong could only see the top of her head and said: “Thank…… Thank you.”
Xu Huaisong didn’t reply. The property management people then started to speak with him and Xu Huaisong explained what had happened to the maintenance people.
Ruan Yu was thinking of comforting the young lady. She looked back and happened to see the young lady suddenly clap her hands as if she had remembered something: “Aiya, oh no, I’m supposed to go for an audition at Global Filming!” She wiped her face with the back of her hand as she was saying and started to run with the mascara smudged all over the back of her hand.
“Ai……!” Ruan Yu ran after her to remind her that her makeup was smeared. She wasn’t able to catch up with her and had to give up chasing after her.
The episode was over quickly and the two of them went back to the car. Neither of them said anything more about what had happened inside the elevator.
Xu Huaisong drove her downstairs to Shen Mingying’s place.
As Ruan Yu was about to get out of the car, she asked Xu Huaisong: “Do you have an Alipay account?”
“What for?”
“To pay you back for the room.”
Xu Huaisong paused before saying: “Keep my cell phone number first. I’ll go apply for one later on.”
“You’ve got a Chinese cell phone number?”
“En.”
Ruan Yu saved his number and marked it as “Lawyer Xu.” As she was opening the car door to get out of the car, she suddenly heard him asking: “Do you want to have one?”
“Ah?” Ruan Yu stopped with confusion: “Have what?”
Hadn’t she already gotten his cell phone number?
Xu Huaisong kept quiet for a moment, then shook his head to mean it’s nothing: “Send me a message after you’re inside.”
Ruan Yu replied in a low voice: “Oh.” On her way up to Shen Mingying’s place, Raun Yu kept wondering what he meant by “do you want to have one”. As soon as Shen Mingying opened her door, Ruan Yu grabbed her shoulder immediately: “Mingying, do you want to have one?”
Shen Mingying had question marks written all over her face: “I don’t plan to have any kids. What’s wrong?”
“Ah!” Ruan Yu called out in surprise then murmured to herself: “Is that what it meant? But, why would he ask me whether I want to have kids?”
Shen Mingying’s eyeballs almost rolled out of her eyesuckets: “He asked you that in bed last night?”
Ruan Yu shook her head with a serious look: “No, it was just now in the car.”
“My goodness, you two are already so intense now?” Shen Mingying held onto Ruan Yu’s shoulders and sized her from top to bottom: “He didn’t have a condom on?”
“......”
Ruan Yu almost choked, but her phone rang before she had the chance to clarify.

Woww she literally goes with whatever the world throw at her. It's just a guess but I think he was trying to ask about if she wanted to have a boyfriend...? Huaisong is very sly
