139 More Work for Him (1/2)

Ye Shuang observed on her own during dinner. Of course, things were not that simple. She thought that Yuan Ruan had discovered her true love after being instigated by Mo Xiao Xia, but in the end, Yuan Ruan was doing the same thing Mo Xiao Xia was doing. She purposely performed intimate actions with Mr. Fang to incite competition within Anthony.

Anthony, though, was a man of his word. Since he promised Ye Shuang to give up on the girl, he did not pay attention to what the girl was doing. After all, there were plenty of beautiful ladies in the world; why should he attach himself to one that would cause problem for his friend‽

Therefore, he was really there to enjoy the dinner. To draw the line clear between them, he initially still chatted with Yuan Ruan, but now he completely blocked her out. However, what about the business that he needed from Yuan Ruan's family‽ Anthony was sneakier than Ye Shuang thought. Since the fastest shortcut was no longer useable, he would use the second fastest shortcut. Thus, he started discussing the stock market with Little Brother Yuan.

Yuan Ruan's expression changed from sadness to melancholy. Finally, her head hung low, like she had seen through some things. Naturally, Mr. Fang did not have time to interact with other people at the table. He was busy trying to brighten Yuan Ruan. He helped with the dish and water until the party ended and everyone left.

…

Ye Shuang thought things would end there, but several days later, Mr. Fang found her and asked directly, ”Does Yuan Ruan like that Anthony?”

”Huh‽” Ye Shuang acted dumb.

”It was Han Chu who told me,” Mr. Fang admitted.

”Okay then.” Ye Shuang sighed in relief and nodded honestly. ”That's right, but Tony has already rejected her.”

Mr. Fang frowned and asked, ”Can I come in?”

”Are you tired?” Ye Shuang replied with her own question. Seeing the confusion on Mr. Fang's face, she moved the jacket hanging on her arm, ”I'm planning to go out to do something, if you're not tired, mind going on a walk with me?”

Who said that you could come into my home when you turned up at their door‽ Everyone has their own life to deal with, and my time isn't used completely to resolve other people's relationship problems.

Mr. Fang nodded understandingly and took a step back to let Ye Shuang open the door. ”I drove here, so would you like me to give you a ride?”

”Thank you!” When they got into his car, Mr. Fang was silent. He admitted that he had acted too rashly by coming to find Ye Shuang. After the initial rush left him, he did not know what he was supposed to ask.

The situation could not have been clearer. Yuan Ruan liked Anthony, and even after the guy had stated his lack of interest, she did not give up. This was firsthand information that Han Chu had gotten from Anthony. After hearing that Yuan Ruan still continued to visit him at his company or ask him out to meals via Little Brother Yuan, to prevent a misunderstanding in the future, Han Chu decided to tell Mr. Fang the truth.

That was why Mr. Fang had gone to find Ye Shuang that day. After Han Chu revealed Yuan Ruan's crush on Anthony, he found himself in a foul mood and understood that he probably had a crush on the girl.

”Brother Han told you all that‽” Ye Shuang sat in the driver seat. Based on Mr. Fang's current condition, she did not dare leave her life in his hands. After hearing briefly what Han Chu had told Mr. Fang on the phone, Ye Shuang nodded and said calmly, ”It's good that he has explained everything. Tony is somewhat of a player, but he didn't know you're Han Chu's friend and naturally wouldn't know you like Miss Yuan. But when he found out, he started to withdraw to avoid suspicion. But if there is any development in the future, then it will not be because we're not giving you face.”

”Just to avoid suspicion‽” Mr. Fang laughed bitterly.

”What else do you expect us to do? Will you be able to accept it better if we say it's to prevent you from blaming us in the future?” Ye Shuang glanced at the man. ”Honestly, there's only so much we can do about this; we cannot control whom Miss Yuan likes. We've already done all we could.”

”You misunderstand me.” Mr. Fang thought about it. ”I'm not here to create trouble. Actually, I want to hire Anthony.”

”…” Ye Shuang's hands almost slipped from the steering wheel. ”Are you planning to make him your subordinate and then bully him to your heart's content‽”
