Free Web NovelChapter 1768: Chapter 1854: Straightforward
Looking at Chen Huan, Su Xuan said seriously, and as soon as the words came out, Chen Huan felt instant despair, tears swirling in his eyes. He’s only twenty-eight now, Su Xuan is twenty-nine. Chen Huan once naively thought that if he met Su Xuan before turning thirty, he would marry him. But to his surprise, Su Xuan didn’t want him.
At this moment, a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove in and stopped right next to Su Xuan. Two women stepped out of the car, both of them stunningly beautiful. Chen Huan used to be quite confident in his own appearance, but this comparison was hurtful; it was like the difference between an art photo and a no-makeup photograph.
"Su Xuan, where’s Monkey?"
Liu Ruobing asked with a smile.
"Probably went to find Hou Qingyi. Monkey seems to have a crush!"
Su Xuan chuckled.
"That’s great, go Monkey Brother!"
Xue Mengxue said with a smile. At this time, the two girls noticed Chen Huan.
"Who is this?"
Xue Mengxue asked softly.
"Let me introduce you, this is a classmate from high school, named Chen Huan!"
Su Xuan briefly introduced, and when Chen Huan saw these two women, he truly felt envious. Why, why didn’t he have that kind of fortune? Why did he have to struggle on his own?
"Oh, hello!"
Xue Mengxue greeted Chen Huan and then did a twirl in front of Su Xuan, saying.
"What do you think of this outfit?"
"It’s beautiful! Whatever my wife wears looks great; it’s not the clothes that make the beauty drunk, but the beauty that makes the clothes drunk!"
"Get out of here, how can you be so narcissistic?"
Xue Mengxue looked at Xue Mengxue happily and said.
"Let’s go help Monkey with his date!"
"That’s a great idea, Monkey’s business is the best for me to get involved in!"
Su Xuan said mischievously.
Su Xuan got up, looked at Chen Huan, and said.
"You take care then!"
Su Xuan then headed off with the two wives to find Monkey. Watching Su Xuan leave, seeing the two happy women by his side, at that moment Chen Huan’s tears flowed uncontrollably. Maybe this is his fate; once he took a wrong step, every step went wrong, leading to today’s miserable outcome.
In life, some mistakes are irredeemable, Chen Huan thought as he watched Su Xuan’s departing figure, feeling helpless and downcast as he walked across the playground.
Meanwhile, when Su Xuan, Xue Mengxue, and Liu Ruobing arrived at the teaching building, they quickly found Monkey chatting with Hou Qingyi in the hallway leading to the classroom.
"This Monkey, no, Teacher, we always knew he came here to find Hou Qingyi."
Su Xuan said with a playful smile as he saw Monkey take this matter so seriously.
Monkey seemed overly concentrated, not even realizing Su Xuan had come up behind him.
"Monkey, what are you chatting about?"
Su Xuan tapped Monkey’s shoulder, startling him almost enough to wet his pants.
"Oh come on, can you not scare me like that, my heart’s weak!"
Monkey patted his chest, showing how frightened he was.
"Get out, what in the world could scare Brother Monkey like you? Miss, do you have class this afternoon? If not, let’s go out for a coffee!"
Su Xuan said directly.
"Su Xuan, what are you up to? Don’t scare the young lady!"
Monkey now seemed like a protective husband, causing Su Xuan to feel awkward. He thought, come on, I’m trying to help you here, how old are you already? Still talking about this? Are you discussing romance? Even if you want to talk romance, you don’t have time. You’re so busy, you still find a way to have a phone meeting during a game of basketball!
So Su Xuan figured he’d help Monkey out.
"Don’t be so tense; it’s just coffee!"
"Come on, we’re all young people. Let’s go have some afternoon tea together, get refreshed, wouldn’t that be better?"
Xue Mengxue quickly said, women really communicate better with each other, and within a few words the matter was settled. Su Xuan thought highly of Xue Mengxue for being so adept at administration before; she really settled it quickly.
The four went to a cafe, and Monkey seemed quite nervous. This was Su Xuan’s first time seeing Monkey like this, and he wondered what it was. This woman unexpectedly had such an attraction to Monkey; maybe this is what they call true destiny.
Su Xuan originally wanted to hear Monkey say a few words of confession, but this guy had Su Xuan feeling a bit frustrated. Sitting there, he seemed completely clueless on what to say.
Su Xuan thought he still needed to help his brother out with this.
"Miss, do you have a boyfriend?"
Su Xuan asked with a smile.
And as expected, as soon as this guy asked the question, Monkey had the urge to strangle him. He thought, could you be more blunt? Even if there was a chance, you might scare it off.
Monkey was actually way too cautious and indecisive. He was worried about being straightforward and scaring the girl off. People can be like this; once they start worrying, they become hesitant in whatever they do.
Monkey even worried that Hou Qingyi might think his video calls during the day were just an act. That’s what happens when a person cares too much about another, leading to such overthinking.
"I... I don’t have one yet!"
Hou Qingyi blushed a little at Su Xuan’s straightforward question.
"Oh dear, it really is fate! My brother doesn’t have one either. Having just glanced at you both, I can see you look great together. Would you like to be my brother’s girlfriend?"
"Pfft..."
Monkey sprayed coffee everywhere, this last sentence was dramatic enough, yet the next was even more straightforward. Monkey felt at that instant, even if someone was interested in him, they probably wouldn’t be after Su Xuan’s words.
"Teacher Hou, don’t listen to his nonsense, he’s just like this, talks without filter!"
Monkey quickly explained.
Hou Qingyi’s face grew even redder. To be honest, she never believed before in mutual attraction or love at first sight.
Due to family circumstances, Hou Qingyi even thought he might never marry in his lifetime.
But when she first saw Monkey on the playground, she felt a sudden thrill, a marvelous feeling.
Lately hearing that Monkey is the boss of a large company, she felt a sense of disparity. Yet after Monkey asked her to help with a proposal and watching Monkey talk effortlessly as he got a foreigner settled during a chat, Hou Qingyi secretly admired him from that moment.
