You’re My Belated Happiness

Chapter 31 Part 2

As expected, Ruan Chengru was surprised: “You and our Yuyu know each other?”

The question was directed at Xu Huaisong and it wasn’t polite for Ruan Yu to interject. She could only watch as Xu Huaisong nodded his head and replied: “Yes, but I didn’t know we were alumni otherwise I would have taken you all here.”

Ruan Chengru and Qu Lan exchanged a look with each other.

Ruan Yu held back her irritation and gulped half a glass of the orange juice in front of her.

He can go ahead with all the acting he wants, just keep acting.

Xu Huaisong continued to tell Ruan Chengru: “After the party’s over, I’ll accompany her and take you and Ms. Qu home.”

Under the circumstances, it would give the impression that he and Ruan Yu weren’t that close if he addressed her as “Ruan Yu”, which wouldn’t pass the message to her parents about his intentions. But if he addressed her as “Yuyu”, it would be a little overboard which would startle Ruan Yu.

Therefore a vague “her” would be just right to serve his purpose.

Ruan Yu, who couldn’t interject, drank the other half of the orange juice. She was secretly grinding her teeth.

Qu Lan picked up the conversation with a laugh: “That’ll be too much trouble for you. If it’s on your way back just take Yuyu with you. We live in the suburbs.”

Xu Huaisong replied with a smile: “It’s no trouble at all. The air in the suburbs is much fresher. I’ll go for a ride there.”

“Then you two will be back too late, it’s not safe!”

“Don’t worry, I’ll see her back at her door.”

Ruan Yu thought it was just too much for him to cozy up to her parents like this and couldn’t hold back her tongue anymore. She interjected: “Then why didn’t you see me back to my door the last time?”

Xu Huaisong slightly tilted his body to take a look at her and earnestly tried to recall: “En, I only saw you home downstairs a couple days ago.”

Qu Lan was a little startled and chuckled. She pinched Ruan Yu’s sleeve and said in a low voice: “You aren’t satisfied with Xiao Xu seeing you home downstairs?”

Ruan Yu replied in a small voice as well: “Downstairs isn’t to the door of my home. It’s possible to run into some danger while going upstairs.”

“You’re exaggerating!”

“No, I should’ve walked upstairs with her. I’ll remember that from now on.” Xu Huaisong took a look at Ruan Yu with a smile. Zhou Jun, who was sitting next to him, elbowed him .

Xu Huaisong turned to look at Zhou Jun. Zhou Jun had his thumb up towards him and whispered: “Brother, you’re good.”

Xu Huaisong didn’t say anything. When he looked up again, he saw Ruan Yu saying something next to Qu Lan’s ear and suddenly got up to leave the table.

Ruan Yu walked towards the restroom. Xu Huaisong nodded at Zhou Jun and also got up to leave the table.

Ruan Yu had drunk too much orange juice and had to go to the restroom. In addition, she wanted to go to the restroom to calm herself down as well.

She was now looking at Xu Huaisong with a bias and couldn’t stand him more and more. She couldn’t even tell which part was his true feelings and which part was only just an act.

Seeing how he pleased her parents, Ruan Yu thought maybe he had cozied up to many young ladies and their parents before.

She took a few deep breaths inside the stall. When she came out, she saw Xu Huaisong standing next to the washstand waiting for her.

“Ah, you……” Ruan Yu looked up at the ceiling and patted her chest: “You scared me to death……”

Xu Huaisong seemed to have a faint smile on his face: “Hiding in there to chew me down?”

Ruan Yu secretly rolled her eyes in her mind but shook her head instead: “Why do I want to chew you down? Have you done anything with a bad conscience?”

“No. Let’s go together to have a toast to Mr. He?”

“Aren’t you going to drive later on?”

“I’ll drink tea instead of wine.”

“Alright, then.” Ruan Yu said with a smile: “There are three of us former students at our table. Let’s get Zhou Jun to go with us.”

Xu Huaisong almost choked.

Ruan Yu blinked and pretended to be innocent: “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”
