He is paranoid and warm

"How did you know about Song Mingzhu?" Xiao Yu just happened to have a topic to extend his alone time.

Sheng Shushu looked out the window and didn't want to communicate with him anymore.

But when he asked about this, she sneered, somewhat as if she had been betrayed in her previous life.

Xiao Yu heard it, so he looked at her quietly for several seconds.

Obviously exhausted after a day and a night, Xiao Yu looked much better when he saw her frowning.

It's better to have some face than no face.

She ignored him, and he didn't seem angry, "What do you want to find me in the middle of the night?"

"Because of thunder?"

Before checking in, Xiao Yu asked once. The thunder didn't last long at night, and her phone was not connected, so Xiao Yu thought she was sleeping soundly.

"I wasn't there when you went to the guest room." Xiao Yu said calmly, "The pipe in the guest room burst, and I just happened to go talk to the director about it."

Sheng Shushu stared at the rain outside to see when it would stop.

What he said had nothing to do with her anymore.

"Is this why you asked Xiao Qingzhou to come and accompany you in the middle of the night?" Xiao Yu finally asked.

This time, Sheng Shushu's face suddenly felt warm.

Xiao Yu actually reached over the table and turned her face back.

She was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously avoided him with a strong movement, staring at him with calm eyes.

Xiao Yu was familiar with this look.

It was almost the same distant look she had shown him after the first night.

"Are you betting on Song Mingzhu's anger?" The man's thin lips touched slightly.

The slightly raised tone and the natural bass reveal a kind of unknown meaning.

Sheng Shushu finally sneered, "Professor Xiao, you're overthinking it. Why should I be angry?"

"Miss Song is the daughter of Dean Song and his wife. I invested in Huazhong, and I will be able to make a profit thanks to the cooperation of the Song couple. Therefore, Miss Song can be considered as half of my partner."

Xiao Yu listened to her serious words, but in fact he didn't listen at all.

"Since we are partners, why did you expose her?"

After sitting for such a long time, Xiao Yu finally remembered to drink a sip of water.

The dryness and fatigue were completely moistened, and the voice became deeper and clearer, "You know that I am ruthless, so you are not afraid of doing things to the extreme."

Sheng Shushu looked at him.

With a hint of sarcasm, "If Professor Xiao is willing to do it, what should I worry about?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu seemed to be thinking about something.

Finally, he said succinctly: "Song Mingzhu has nothing to do with me."

Sheng Shushu looked at the rain outside and didn't know how long he would have to wait. He really wanted to take a taxi.

But when I looked at the taxi app, I saw that the queue was very long and I would have to wait for more than ten minutes.

She ordered a taxi and waited.

Glancing at Xiao Yu, he asked, "If I don't expose her, will you clarify the rumors about the two of you?"

Xiao Yu hardly had to think about it.

"will not."

Sheng Shushu smiled, "The scandal has spread, and you didn't clarify it, didn't refute it, and just quietly removed the post. This is the greatest love and care for Miss Song."

"You care about her so much, and you say it doesn't matter?"

This is probably what he did in his previous life.

Maybe nothing actually happened, but Xiao Yu didn't say a word to the outside media, nor did he blame Song Mingzhu at all.

In fact, the media didn't even know that the woman's name was Song Mingzhu.

It can be seen that his attitude is the best protection for Song Mingzhu.

Xiao Yu had no idea how she came to that conclusion, he just frowned.

"If this is the way ordinary people think, then try not to use this kind of thinking on me in the future."

He looked at her, "I only care about the time cost."

Was Sheng Shushu surprised when he heard what he said about the time cost? A little, but it was actually reasonable.

Xiao Yu is just like this, living a well-behaved life. He is always serious, calm and elegant when he is around, as if the lives of ordinary people have nothing to do with him.

Only in their wedding room would he do mundane things.

Time cost, was it because of this that he did this in his previous life, without even giving her an explanation?

"Do you want to order something to eat?" Xiao Yu suddenly asked her.

Sheng Shushu glanced at him and said nothing.

She glanced down at the car she had just called on the taxi app and found that the other party had cancelled her.

Is it raining so heavily?

Or is it that there are too many customers to move the pot?

Xiao Yu had already called the waiter and ordered two dishes for a midnight snack with her.

Sheng Shushu indeed didn't eat well at the Xiao family. After all, she went there to discuss some matters, and with so much on her mind, her appetite was poor.

When seeing a certain dish, Sheng Shushu frowned.

"Doesn't Professor Xiao not eat coriander?"

Xiao Yu moved the dishes towards her.

Just a simple sentence: "As long as you like it."

So, he really doesn’t like cilantro?

That time she saw him pick out the coriander from the dish, and she was puzzled.

Sheng Shushu looked at him with some interest, "If I like it and ask you to eat it, will you follow my taste?"

Xiao Yu did not answer her question immediately.

But with action.

He picked up a piece with chopsticks and tasted it.

Then I told her: "I can't say I like it right now, but the taste is acceptable and I can get used to it slowly."

Sheng Shushu originally just asked casually.

But the answer she got suddenly made her feel some emotions.

So, in his previous life, he did deliberately follow her tastes.

why?

"What does Professor Xiao want from me? I am a student who is almost an orphan. Why do you have to spend so much effort to please me?"

"In order to let me keep you in my eyes, keep chasing you, and keep using you, you have wronged yourself to pretend to be so affectionate. Aren't you tired?"

It turned out that he was really pretending in everything, pretending to love her, which gave her so many illusions!

Xiao Yu hadn't seen her so emotional for a long time.

But when it comes to emotions, it's still the same as before.

He sometimes reviewed his past, but he really couldn't figure out where and when she had become so defensive.

He asked her in return: "Is there anything about you that I can take advantage of?"

Sheng Shushu stared at him.

she does not know.

But he just didn't let her go. Was he after her?

She let out a breath and didn't think about these things for a long time. She was still tired.

Sheng Shushu picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Since she was not trying to lose weight, it was a good opportunity for her to stop talking.

Xiao Yu didn't eat much and would just look at her occasionally.

Help her scoop out some beans that are difficult to pick up with chopsticks.

"Xiao Qingzhou doesn't love you. Even if it's to avoid me, you shouldn't discuss such a big thing as an engagement with the Xiao family." He said slowly and solemnly beside him.

Sheng Shushu paused while eating.

I just casually said, "I just love you."

She looked up and saw that Xiao Yu's face was slightly gloomy, but she pretended not to see it. It would be great if her behavior could anger him and ruin any plans he had for her.

"Can I have a bottle of wine?" she asked suddenly.

Xiao Yu frowned, obviously disagreeing.

But when Sheng Shushu raised her hand to call the waiter over and ordered drinks, Xiao Yu did not stop her.
