319: Brother Su, do you have good news?
Liang Yuzhu suddenly received a call from Su Yue, which scared her out of her wits.
She was so worried that she didn't dare to answer the phone. She looked at the phone in her hand in terror, not daring to press the answer button for a long time.
She worried that if she answered, Su Yue would say something unexpected, and that their relationship might change, and how she would face Su Yue afterward.
She thought about a million things, and the call timed out and was automatically disconnected.
Liang Yuzhu looked at the disconnected call, feeling both relieved and anxious.
Although she didn't have to face the aggressive Su Yue, she still felt a bit disappointed deep down, and she was incredibly conflicted.
Before she could calm her excited heart, the phone rang again.
Liang Yuzhu was startled by the ringtone subconsciously, then looked in terror at the big words 'Su Yue' on the phone screen.
After much hesitation, Liang Yuzhu finally answered the call just before it was about to be automatically disconnected again.
As soon as the call connected, Su Yue's teasing voice came through the receiver.
"Liang Yuzhu, you finally answered! I thought you weren't going to answer at all, and I was starting to consider taking a day off tomorrow to meet you."
Liang Yuzhu's face instantly turned red when she heard this, and she quickly stopped him.
"No, no need! I, I answered, didn't I?"
It was the first time Su Yue had seen Liang Yuzhu so flustered, and he was immediately amused by her.
"Liang Yuzhu, I didn't expect you to have such a shy side!"
Liang Yuzhu's face flushed at Su Yue's words. She gripped the phone tightly, her hand clenching it with such force it seemed she might crush it.
She took a few deep breaths and said, feigning calmness, "Su, Su Yue, is there something you need? It's late, I'm planning to go to sleep."
Liang Yuzhu's obvious attempt to evade the conversation lifted Su Yue's mood considerably. He couldn't help but wonder what Liang Yuzhu had been thinking earlier, to suddenly take the initiative to message him and chat.
Now that he had taken the initiative, she was scared and ran away.
But since the atmosphere had reached this point, Su Yue naturally wouldn't let Liang Yuzhu make an excuse and escape.
He said leisurely, "Liang Yuzhu, don't you know exactly why I'm looking for you? You've already made it so obvious. Wouldn't it be irresponsible of me if I didn't respond?"
For the first time, Liang Yuzhu had the illusion that she had shot herself in the foot. She was incredibly flustered.
Her impulsiveness earlier was because she had been provoked by Tian Yuwei. If she had known Su Yue would be so direct, she definitely wouldn't have been so impulsive in front of him.
But now, she was the one who was at a loss.
Liang Yuzhu's heart pounded, and she remained silent, not answering Su Yue's question.
She really didn't know how to face Su Yue. Before Su Yue expressed his feelings, she was anxious, but now that Su Yue had acted, she became even more flustered.
Seeing that Liang Yuzhu didn't answer, Su Yue said directly to her, "Liang Yuzhu, I've made myself so clear, you should understand what I mean, right?"
The other side was silent, but Su Yue didn't get discouraged and continued, "I'll just tell you directly, Liang Yuzhu. I like you, and I want to be with you. Just tell me what you think."
Su Yue's words were indeed straightforward and direct, instantly freezing Liang Yuzhu in shock.
Liang Yuzhu considered herself very brave. She could remain indifferent when facing disgusting and foul-smelling corpses, and she could calmly face the threats of ferocious criminals.
But at this moment, her usually calm heart unexpectedly began to pound wildly, as if it might jump out of her chest at any moment, scaring her greatly.
She gave a few forced laughs, pretending to be calm and said, "Su Yue, are you kidding me? Did you lose some game again? This joke isn't funny at all."
However, the next second, Su Yue's serious words completely froze the smile on Liang Yuzhu's face, and her heart rate accelerated even more.
Su Yue said very seriously, "Liang Yuzhu, I, Su Yue, am not joking. You know I never lie to you. What I said is true. Think about it."
Liang Yuzhu could no longer remain calm. She was incredibly nervous.
Liang Yuzhu really liked Su Yue, but when Su Yue asked her directly, she became too nervous to think and didn't know how to answer Su Yue.
"Su, Su Yue, you, you..."
After struggling for a long time, Liang Yuzhu couldn't say a complete sentence. Her mind was blank, and she had lost the ability to think.
As soon as Su Yue heard Liang Yuzhu's reaction, he knew she was scared by him. He found this side of Liang Yuzhu quite surprising.
After all, who would have thought that the usually cautious and capable Liang Yuzhu would be so flustered she couldn't say a word when he confessed to her? He even regretted calling her to say these things.
If they were standing face to face right now, he might even be able to see the shyness on Liang Yuzhu's face.
The more Su Yue thought about it, the more he felt he was at a disadvantage, so he was no longer in a hurry to get an answer from Liang Yuzhu right now.
He said very generously, "Liang Yuzhu, you must be very flustered right now, right? It's okay, I'll give you time to think. When you've thought it over tomorrow, just tell me the answer when we meet in the evening."
Liang Yuzhu was indeed quite scared by Su Yue's words, but when she heard Su Yue say he wanted her answer tomorrow, her previously muddled mind cleared up considerably.
She shrieked in refusal, "No!"
Before Su Yue could speak, she explained flustered, "Let, let me think about it for a few more days. I'll give you an answer in three days."
Su Yue was stunned for a moment, then generously nodded and agreed.
He said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Liang Yuzhu was flushed by Su Yue's words and was very speechless about Su Yue's thick skin, but she couldn't refute him with her red face.
Her voice even trembled slightly, "If, if you don't need anything else, I, I'm going to hang up. I, I'm tired."
After saying that, she didn't care what Su Yue thought and directly hung up the phone. Then she lay directly on the bed, completely covering her head with the blanket, her movements as urgent as if someone was chasing her.
Listening to the dial tone, Su Yue knew without thinking that Liang Yuzhu must have hung up because she was shy, and he was in a very pleasant mood.
Liang Yuzhu definitely had feelings for him. As long as she thought it through, she would definitely agree to his request.
On this point, Su Yue was very confident.
Afterward, Su Yue slept soundly all night.
When he woke up the next day, Su Yue was a little surprised to find that neither Tian Yuwei nor Lin Jia were awake.
Lin Jia came back after eleven last night, so it was normal that she wasn't awake yet.
But why was Tian Yuwei, who had been unemployed, also sleeping in so late all of a sudden?

You know, ever since Tian Yuwei moved in, in order to repay them for taking her in, she would proactively order takeout or buy simple and easy-to-cook food for them for breakfast and dinner whenever they were home.
Now that Su Yue was up and didn't find breakfast, he was a little disappointed.
He had gotten used to chatting with Tian Yuwei a bit during breakfast every day, and then leaving for the company after hearing Tian Yuwei's sweet words.
Now that there was suddenly no breakfast and he couldn't see Tian Yuwei, Su Yue actually felt his good mood had become lost at this moment.
Su Yue couldn't help but sigh that habits were really bad. Like now, he couldn't stand Tian Yuwei not being there.
Sighing helplessly, Su Yue saw no breakfast and didn't linger. He went straight out and rode his electric bike back to the company.
Actually, Su Yue wasn't lacking food. After all, there were many delicious things on the way, so he would never go hungry.
It was just that he had gotten used to Tian Yuwei asking him every day if he had slept well the night before and telling him to work hard on his upcoming tasks. Now that it was suddenly gone, it was quite disappointing.
However, because of this, Su Yue suddenly thought about how harmonious his daily life with the homebound Tian Yuwei had been, like a newly married couple, and he couldn't help but smile.
If Tian Yuwei's fans knew, he wondered if they would be so jealous that they would want to get rid of him.
It was also because he thought of this that Su Yue quickly realized a possible reason for Tian Yuwei's absence today.
Could Tian Yuwei be deliberately avoiding him because she hadn't figured things out yet?
Su Yue thought carefully and felt that this was indeed something Tian Yuwei would do.
Thinking of this possibility, Su Yue felt like he had dug his own grave, actually creating an opportunity for Tian Yuwei to potentially avoid him.
However, Su Yue also quickly suppressed this thought.
Although Tian Yuwei was indeed too shy to see him right now, once she figured things out, he would be her boyfriend. Thinking this way, he didn't lose out at all.
The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Su Yue didn't dwell on this issue anymore. He packed a bowl of beef noodles on the way and returned to the company.
Just as he sat down at his desk and started eating the noodles heartily, Li Haoyang, who was walking slowly into the office, saw him and his eyes instantly lit up as if they were shining.
Su Yue inexplicably had a bad feeling.
But it was already too late for him to avoid Li Haoyang, this obviously very ill lunatic. Li Haoyang pointed at Su Yue in front of everyone and exclaimed in surprise.
"Su Ge! Why are you in such a good mood today? Is there something happy happening?"
Su Yue felt another headache as he sensed the obvious gossipy and curious eyes of his colleagues around him.
He couldn't help but feel that he was still too kind. He should have secretly dealt with Li Haoyang in private long ago so that he wouldn't be like a clown being watched by everyone in the company.
Su Yue glared at Li Haoyang, grinding his teeth in annoyance.
"What are you talking about? If you don't need your eyes, you can donate them to someone who does."
Li Haoyang rushed directly to Su Yue's face and shook his head at him very seriously.
"No, Su Ge, I'm telling the truth. I've found that you're in a really good mood today. Look, the smile on your lips hasn't gone away. When were you ever so happy before?"
Saying that, he quietly leaned into Su Yue's ear and whispered to him.
"Su Ge, tell me secretly, are you together with President Lan?"
Su Yue was startled and subconsciously wiped the smile off his face.
He knew why his face felt so stiff today; it was because he had been smiling the whole time.
Su Yue felt a little awkward and glared at Li Haoyang angrily, somewhat grinding his teeth.
"Li Haoyang, can't you just calm down? You won't stop until you make me famous in the company, will you?"
Li Haoyang quickly shook his head: "Su Ge, I'm not."
Su Yue clearly didn't believe him and still narrowed his eyes and glared at him.
Li Haoyang wasn't angered by Su Yue staring at him. He rubbed his head and chuckled.
"Su Ge, you have to believe in your ability. Even if I didn't say anything, you would still be a big celebrity in the company. Su Ge, you're popular!"
Su Yue didn't want to be popular at all. He had no interest in Li Haoyang's excitement and instead found it very annoying.
He rolled his eyes speechlessly and pushed away Li Haoyang, who kept leaning on him.
"Alright, you want to see me make a fool of myself every day, right? Get lost."
Li Haoyang didn't budge and still stared at Su Yue with bright eyes.
"Su Ge, quickly tell me, is there really something good happening? If you get rich, you absolutely cannot forget about me, your little brother!"
Su Yue didn't know why Li Haoyang guessed so accurately. Although he didn't guess the person correctly, there was indeed something good happening, just as he said.
However, Su Yue naturally wouldn't tell Li Haoyang his private matters. Therefore, he angrily pushed away the gossipy Li Haoyang, directly telling him to leave.
"Go, go, go! What good things are happening? Get lost! Otherwise, I won't be able to control myself and I'll smack you."
Li Haoyang looked at Su Yue with a particularly meaningful expression. He stared at Su Yue and said slowly.
"Su Ge, are you shy? We're good brothers. If you're really with President Lan, would I laugh at you?"
"No! Su Ge! I'll only think you're amazing! I'm willing to be your good little brother forever!"
Su Yue was almost amused by Li Haoyang's shamelessness. Seeing that Li Haoyang still wouldn't leave, he directly extended his leg and kicked him.
"Get lost! I already told you I'm not!"
Li Haoyang didn't dare to bother Su Yue anymore after being kicked like that, but his gossipy eyes clearly showed that he didn't believe Su Yue's excuse at all.
It was at the moment they were messing around that the company group chat instantly had the rumor that Su Yue was already together with Lan Zijun.
This rumor spread like a plague, extremely quickly. In just a few minutes, the rumor was instantly known by everyone in Yuantu Group.
Everyone had various thoughts about this matter, but without exception, they were all envious that Su Yue was actually able to win over the aloof Lan Zijun and successfully become a sugar baby.
As Lan Zijun entered the company, she heard various excited discussions whispered around her.
Although they didn't dare to say anything directly in front of Lan Zijun, those curious and gossipy eyes were clearly acting out a big drama.
Lan Zijun was immediately curious about their discussion, which was clearly more excited than usual. Seeing that Yang Qingmei hadn't even noticed her arrival immediately and was excitedly replying to messages, she knew there must be new gossip in the company.
She went directly to Yang Qingmei's side and checked her phone screen.
