Chapter 187 - 122: I Really Just Want to Watch You Dance
At Xu Yun’s house.
After Yu Xuan helped clean up, she hesitated for a long while before deciding to tell Xu Yun the truth.
"Boss, there’s something I need to tell you."
"Go ahead. What is it?"
Yu Xuan answered, "Miss Su knows about us."
"When?" Xu Yun was a little surprised.
"Just last night."
Yu Xuan said, "She told me this morning when we went out for breakfast together. She even gave me some medicine and told me to be safe."
Xu Yun was speechless.
’Damn, she was broad-minded, alright. Just as broad as what I’d seen with my own two eyes. Not small in the slightest.’
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you’re my boss, and I feel I shouldn’t hide these things from you."
"Anything else?"
Xu Yun asked curiously, "That’s all she did after finding out?"
"No, she said more."
Yu Xuan answered honestly, "She said that if one day she decides she wants to be with you, she hopes I’ll leave your side, and she’ll give me a sum of money."
"What did you say?"
"I agreed."
Yu Xuan said with a complicated expression, "Because I’m with you for the money, and I know you’ll never actually like me."
"On this matter, you just need to remember what I say. Don’t worry about her."
Xu Yun frowned. "There are only two reasons you’ll ever leave my side. One, I tell you to go. Two, you decide you want to leave on your own.
But no matter the reason, you’ll receive a generous gift from me. Understand?"
"Understood. Thank you, Boss."
"If you’re free right now, go next door and help with dinner."
"Yes, Boss."
After Yu Xuan left, Xu Yun was lost in thought.
He was a little surprised by Su Mu’s move, and also by Yu Xuan’s exceptional honesty.
But Xu Yun guessed what both of them were thinking.
’Su Mu wanted to subdue her rival without a fight, while Yu Xuan was trying to use her ’loyalty’ to counterattack.’
’The two women were actually scheming against each other.’
Xu Yun didn’t care. ’As the referee of this game, I can’t just jump into the ring.’
’As long as they didn’t go too far with each other, he’d let them bicker and use their little tricks.’
Meanwhile, Yu Xuan arrived at Su Mu’s house and greeted Li Jinshu.
Li Jinshu whispered to her, "The thing I told you about the video—did you tell Xu Yun and Susu?"
"No." Yu Xuan thought for a moment before replying.
"Good. Don’t tell them I know about it. Help me keep it a secret."
"Okay, Miss Li."
Li Jinshu smiled. "Don’t call me Miss Li. Just call me Jinshu."
"Okay, Miss Li."
Yu Xuan said, "If there’s nothing else, I’m going to the kitchen to help Miss Su with dinner."
"Oh, you can go."
Li Jinshu stood up and called out to Susu, "Susu, I’ll leave dinner to you guys! I’m going next door to hang out with Xu Yun."
With that, wearing her slippers, she opened the door and left.
Xu Yun was chatting with Ning Qian when Li Jinshu suddenly ran in. He asked in surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"I missed you, of course."
With just the two of them there, Li Jinshu didn’t hold back at all. She threw herself into Xu Yun’s arms and pouted, "I heard from Susu that you brought me a gift? What is it?"
"A bracelet."
Xu Yun picked it up from the nearby coffee table and handed it to her. "It’s made from local agate stones from the lake. It’s not worth much."
"But it’s pretty."
After Li Jinshu took it and put it on her wrist, she said, "I saw Su Mu had one on her wrist just now, too. Did you give it to her?"
"No, she bought it herself."
Li Jinshu feigned surprise. "She was with you? Otherwise, how could she have the exact same bracelet?"
"Mhm."
Xu Yun didn’t know if Su Mu had already told Li Jinshu, so he explained, "I was at the party with Yu Xuan and unexpectedly ran into Su Mu. I didn’t know she was there too."
"You ran into her by accident? You didn’t secretly take her there behind my back?"
"No."
Xu Yun replied with a smile, "She was with her blind date at the time. Her date must have invited her. She just didn’t expect to run into me."
"That is quite a coincidence." After hearing Xu Yun’s explanation, Li Jinshu felt much better.
’Whether he was telling the truth or not, she chose to believe him.’
’Because at least he was willing to say this to her, which meant he still cared about her feelings.’
"Was it fun there?"
"It was alright. Not bad."
Xu Yun replied, "When I have the chance, I’ll take you there."
"Just me alone."
"Okay, just you alone."
Li Jinshu nodded happily, then said, "The company’s renovations will be done in a few days. I might have to go home for a bit around then."
"Go back for what?"
"My mom called me. My grandma’s in the hospital. She’s not going to make it."
Li Jinshu said, "She was always very good to me when I was growing up. I have to go back to see her off one last time."
"Do you need me to go with you?"
"No, I can handle it myself."
"Alright, then."
Xu Yun picked up Li Jinshu in his arms and started walking toward the door.
Li Jinshu asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Help me bolt the door from the inside."
"..." Hearing this, Li Jinshu’s face instantly turned red.
She said shyly, "I just recovered, and you’re starting again? Are you trying to make it so I can’t even walk?"
"It’s fine. I’ll just buy you a wheelchair."
"Get lost! You big pervert."
Li Jinshu immediately started to struggle. "If you want to fool around, go fool around with your secretary."
"Nope. You’re the one who willingly delivered yourself to my door."
"I can’t."
Li Jinshu said in a low voice, "I got my period yesterday. It’s not a good time."
"..." Xu Yun was speechless.
’After she said that, what else could he do?’
He gave Li Jinshu a frustrated look, put her down, and went back to the sofa. He sighed and said, "I think you just came over here to get back at me."
