Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement-Chapter 619: President’s Desperate Pursuit in the Love Ashes
Shangxue slowly opened her eyes, and saw Xie Mingyu sitting opposite her.
Outside the window, white clouds were swirling, and the bright light reflected on Xie Mingyu’s face made his skin almost translucent.
Xie Mingyu was pampered since childhood, his skin was better maintained than a girl’s. Plus, his naturally fair and tender complexion made the phrase "a face like jade" fit him perfectly.
At this moment, he was wearing glasses and looking down at a book.
Refined and gentlemanly, as graceful as a tree under the wind, this must be the way it is.
Shangxue was momentarily entranced, staring at him in a daze.
Perhaps her gaze was too intense, Xie Mingyu quickly sensed something was amiss, lifted his head and looked at her.
When he saw she was awake and looking at him, he couldn’t help but put down his book, curling his lips into a smile, eyes full of joy.
"Xue’er, you’re awake."
Xie Mingyu leaned over, reached out to touch her hair, and asked gently.
Shangxue nodded, her ears slightly flushed.
He had always called her Shangxue, and suddenly calling her Xue’er made her heart tremble with excitement, yet somewhat uncomfortable.
"What’s wrong?" Xie Mingyu asked again.
Shangxue shook her head, "Nothing, just that now we are..."
"Maldives, I already bought an island, taking you there to have fun," Xie Mingyu said.
"Ah, bought an island? Why suddenly buy an island? You don’t often go there, wouldn’t it be a waste?" Shangxue was surprised.
She had heard Lin Yue previously talk about buying an island for Wan Tianning. Buying an island without frequent visits for vacation is a total waste, for someone so busy like him, where would he find the time to keep going there?
"Yes, that’s why from now on, we need to go often, so it won’t be wasted," Xie Mingyu said.
"But you’re very busy," Shangxue reminded him.
Now in charge of the Xie Group, indeed he couldn’t be as carefree as before, able to roam around as he wished.
"No matter how busy, I need to find time to accompany you. Before, I was alone, really busy, and didn’t have time to wander around. But now with you, of course I need more time with you. As for company matters, there are vice presidents and senior stakeholders, if I have to handle everything personally, what’s the point of having them? I’m Xie Mingyu, I’m not a workaholic like Zhan Hanjue. I enjoy life much more than he does," Xie Mingyu boasted.
Shangxue smiled, "But, leaving Yanyan behind, aren’t you afraid he’ll be sad?"
"He won’t be sad, he quite likes that little girl from Zhan Hanjue’s family. Sending him to Zhan Hanjue’s house is perfect for him to play with Yuanyuan. Cultivating their feelings from a young age, maybe they’ll become childhood sweethearts," Xie Mingyu said with a laugh.
"Oh, so you want to form a family tie with Mr. Zhan’s family?" Shangxue asked.
Xie Mingyu said, "Not with Zhan Hanjue, but with Ye Ningwan." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
"Oh, it turns out you’re still regretting not marrying Miss Ye, so you want your son to keep trying," Shangxue’s expression darkened.
Xie Mingyu: "..."
Did he say the wrong thing?
"Xue’er, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean it that way. I have no regrets about not marrying Ye Ningwan, I consider myself lucky not to have married her. She never knows how to yield to me, doesn’t take care of me, and doesn’t pamper me like you do. She only scolds me, makes me angry, if I married her, I’d be the unlucky one."
"So, you chose to be with me because I’ll take care of you, yield to you, pamper you?" Shangxue asked.
"No," Xie Mingyu shook his head, said seriously, "There are many who will yield to me, take care of me, and pamper me. But, I only like you, only want you to do so for me."
Shangxue: "..."
"What, you don’t believe me?" Xie Mingyu hurriedly grasped her hand.
Shangxue smiled gently, "How could I not believe you? Of course, I do. You said it yourself, I’ll pamper you, how could I not believe you."
"You scared me to death, I thought you were mad at me," Xie Mingyu felt lingering fear.
Shangxue reached out to stroke his hair, puzzled, "Why would you be afraid of me being mad?"
Xie Mingyu blushed slightly, silent.
Shangxue tilted her head, watching him show such an expression, she felt something was off.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Shangxue asked.
Xie Mingyu immediately said, "Of course not, how could I hide anything from you? You know everything about me, even things I’m not aware of. In front of you, I have no secrets."
His words weren’t wrong.
Shangxue grew up with him, all his matters went through Shangxue’s hands.
There’s nothing about him that Shangxue doesn’t know.
Even things he himself isn’t aware of, Shangxue knows them all.
"I’m not talking about past matters, it’s about whether a girlfriend would get mad," Shangxue said, pursing her lips.
Xie Mingyu was awkward, murmured softly after a while, "Xue’er, can’t you be a little less smart?"
His four female assistants all say Shangxue is the intelligent type, practically a think tank.
He used to feel proud and pleased, but now, with such a smart girlfriend, it causes some distress.
"So, don’t try to deceive me. I don’t want to know either, but it’s too simple, your reaction too simple gave you away, I can’t help it," Shangxue sighed.
Xie Mingyu sighed, having to tell her the truth he learned from Lin Yue.
Lin Yue had told him, never to easily make a girlfriend angry. Otherwise, it would be hard to coax them.
He also shared how he managed to appease Wan Tianning, basically outlining how tough it was.
Even though Xie Mingyu said then, it’s impossible, that’s just Wan Tianning being difficult. Our Shangxue isn’t such an unreasonable girl.
"She was reasonable before because she was your servant, your helper, your assistant. Between you two, was a master-servant relationship, employer and employee. Which employee dares to be unreasonable to the boss? But now it’s different, she’s no longer your employee, not your servant, but your girlfriend. Do you know how the relationship will change once it upgrades to girlfriend? It will change drastically, a complete turnaround. Wan Tianning used to have a crush on me, willing to die to pursue me. But now that she’s with me, knowing I can’t live without her, isn’t she also throwing little fits?"
"What you said... makes a lot of sense," Xie Mingyu nodded, acknowledging Lin Yue’s point.
It’s because of what Lin Yue said, he was afraid Shangxue would get mad.
He wasn’t good at coaxing people; if she did get mad, he wouldn’t know how to handle it, which is why he was so nervous earlier.
Shangxue: "..."
Looking at Xie Mingyu with speechlessness, her silly young master was really simple and adorable.
"Rest assured, even if I upgrade to girlfriend, I won’t just get angry and throw little fits. You are someone I’ve meticulously nurtured, how could I bear to bully you?"
Shangxue cradled his face, giving him a gentle kiss on the forehead, proving herself with her actions.
