74 Insufferable Arrogance (1/2)

He was fighting back the temptation to kiss her again.

He was upset about how proud and arrogant she was, and how she never regarded anyone in her eyes other than herself.

He wasn't sure what was so good about Jiang Zhuoheng, why was she putting all her eggs in one basket?

The battle had been lost, but she still hadn't given up. Did she want to repeat the same mistakes again?

Such stupidity!

”Wen Xuxu, I dare you to try.” Yan Rusheng clenched his teeth, his hazy eyes staring intently at her. ”If I say you're never leaving Flourish & Prosper, then you will never, ever leave Flourish & Prosper.”

He withdrew his hands and coldly left the room.

Xuxu was still leaning against the wall. She knelt down slowly and buried her head in her knees. Every part of her shivered.

She was at the Yan house, she shouldn't be letting out her emotions here. She shouldn't be bawling her eyes out here.

She took a mere two minutes to adjust her emotions and regain her composure. She helped herself up and walked out as if nothing had happened.

Ever since the children of Yan house had moved out, Old Lady Wang only ever got to have dinner with them once or twice a week.

Apart from the usual Yan Rusheng and Wang Daqin at the table, there was now Wen Xuxu as well, who livened up the atmosphere.

Wang Daqin was elated—she tended to focus all her attention on Wen Xuxu every time she visited.

Throughout the dinner, Wang Daqin didn't eat much, but concentrated on acting the host for Wen Xuxu.

”Xuxu, next time you're here, I'll get Aunt Zhang to make whatever you like to eat.”

Wang Daqin told her gently, serving up a bowl of soup to Xuxu.

”I will.” Wen Xuxu nodded in agreement and finished the soup in a few gulps.

She put down her bowl and wiped her mouth with a small towelette.

”Grandmother, I'm full. I still have things waiting for me at home, so I'll be heading off now.”

She stood up as she spoke.
