<h4>Chapter 1476: Chapter 1489:</h4>
His body gradually moved closer, almost about to lean over her.
An Ruoxi shifted sideways,ining, "It wasn’t me who got the Old Master to say it, so why should I think of a reason?"
"Why? Because of you, we can’t get the certificate."
Wei Yu leaned in and whispered by her ear; his breath swept across her earlobe and neck, ticklish and highly suggestive.
An Ruoxi’s heart hung in suspense, almost leaping out, and the next moment, Wei Yu abruptly turned and strode towards the window.
Suddenly freed from danger, she took a long breath, her tense heart gradually easing. Faced with his unreasonable usation, she remained defiant; it wasn’t her fault.
"Thinking of a reason isn’t impossible."
Like a snail, An Ruoxi crept closer, stopping two meters from him and, after a while, slowly spoke.
"What reason?"
"...Uh." She hesitated, unsure whether to speak.
"Speak."
At some point, Wei Yu had lit a cigarette pinched between his fingers, the smokezily swirling, emitting a faint, pleasant tobo aroma.
"I could say I still need to go to school."
If she went back to school, maybe the Old Master wouldn’t be so eager; college students don’t marry before finishing school.
She looked expectantly at Wei Yu. After a moment, he replied, but he asked, "School?"
"..." Was the idea not good enough?
"Yes, think about it. If I go to school, it would take at least four years to graduate, right?"
In four years, they’d surely be long parted, each going their own way.
"You want to go to school?" Wei Yu asked again, as if the words from An Ruoxi were the biggest joke.
"Yes!"
Not only do I want to go, but you’ll pay the tuition!
An Ruoxi silently prayed, hoping he would agree, giving her a reason to stay far from him.
Wei Yu rubbed his chin with his index finger, appearing pensive, his deep eyes wrapped inyers of smoke, profound and unreadable.
Finally, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said to An Ruoxi, "You can go to school, as long as you qualify for it yourself."
"..."
An Ruoxi was puzzled, qualify?
"At the end of the month, there’ll be a supplementary enrollment test for various universities. If you pass, I’ll satisfy your request."
An Ruoxi stared seriously at him for a long time, but Wei Yu was like an unfathomable abyss, unreadable.
She tilted her head and thought hard but couldn’t figure out how this would benefit him, though it benefited her greatly.
She could use this chance to fulfill her unrealized dream, experience a university life she envied, most importantly, stay away from him.
Wait.
She couldn’t believe he’d be so kind.
Carrying a sense of unease, An Ruoxi asked cautiously, "What’s in it for you?"
Wei Yu nced at her nonchntly, chuckled,zily sat on the sofa, and said, "The benefit? Getting past the Old Master’s hurdle means receiving twenty percent of the shares."
Although An Ruoxi didn’t know what value the twenty percent shares represented, if he gambled his marital happiness for it, it must be a fortune.
Hearing his exnation, she nodded vaguely, saying, "Understood. That’s what I’ll tell the Old Master, okay?"
"Hmm."
...
When exiting the room, her cheeks were flushed due to someone’s suggestive words making her shy.
But this scene, seen by the Old Master, took on a different meaning. Eyes squinted joyfully, he was already nning when he might cradle great-grandchildren.
For a moment, the atmosphere was awkward. An Ruoxi felt uneasy under the Old Master’s gaze and made an excuse to y chess with him.
ying chess with the Old Master, she discreetly eyed him, holding a curiously about when his attitude shifted.
She recalled that the Old Master’s original aim in approaching her was to drive a wedge between Wei Yu and Moli Sha, but she found through investigation that Wei Yu and Moli Sha weren’t involved.
She hesitated, uncertain whether to tell the Old Master this information, fearing if it reached Wei Yu, her true motive for approaching him might result in her mother’s medical bills losing coverage.
Thinking of her mother in the hospital, An Ruoxi fell silent and began daydreaming.
The Old Master noticed her drifting thoughts, smiled, and asked, "Girl, what are you thinking about?"
Awakened from her thoughts, An Ruoxi forced a smile and shook her head, saying, "Nothing, just feeling you’ve changed a lot towards me."
The Old Master paused, his cunning eyes shing unreadable emotions, and slightly smiled, saying, "It’s nothing, just over time watching you seemed fitting for Wei Yu. For our Wei Family, finding a daughter-inw doesn’t depend on status, so some things aren’t of concern."
His words warmed An Ruoxi’s heart considerably. She grinned slightly, about to speak, when suddenly the Housekeeper knocked and entered.
"Old Master, there’s a visitor."
The Housekeeper announced respectfully.
The Old Master nodded, waved to An Ruoxi, and said, "Looks like this game can’t go on. Deal with your own matters; no need to apany me."
After speaking, he stood and left together with the Housekeeper.
An Ruoxi didn’t think too much, left the study, nced towards the living room and saw a tall figure, vaguely familiar, seeming like someone she’d seen before.
An Ruoxi frowned, thought for a while, but couldn’t recall.
"Ye Chen, long time no see. Howe you returned to the Central ins?"
The Old Master sat on the sofa, speaking.
Ye Chen sat across from the Old Master, his long legs crossed, he smiled wickedly, saying, "Ji Da, why I returned, don’t you know deep down?"
Ji Da’s smile gradually waned, "We weren’t allies back then, and still can’t be now."
Ye Chen’s smile twisted deeper, "Allies? Same side? Ji Da, your words make me feel nauseated."
An Ruoxi hadn’t intended to listen to them, but hearing their words sh so sharply piqued her curiosity, keeping her at the staircase eavesdropping.
Suddenly, her phone rang; startled, she hurriedly answered and fled upstairs.
Ye Chen nced indifferently upstairs, seeing only a silhouette, yet just that silhouette revealed her identity to him; she was the one who secretly photographed him days ago!
