Brilliant Years 1991

Chapter 141 A Little Show of Cards

Cao Yukun was very tired that night.

From the time he traveled through time to now, he felt that the only time he persuaded his father to help him raise money was comparable to this time - that time was mainly because he was under a lot of psychological pressure, and there was actually no point in really explaining anything. This time, he just did it straightforwardly, it was purely a job of talking.

However, the results do not seem to be very good.

Just say whatever you want to say. This silly girl Xie Xiaoyu never interrupts you. She just stares at you with her charming peach blossom eyes, looking confused, naive and adorable.

But it is hard to say how much of an effect it will have.

To be honest, after traveling through time to the present, Cao Yukun really realized for the first time: You can't beat her!

As long as she is confused there, you can only stare blankly.

Fortunately, the effect was not completely absent. When Cao Yukun got up the next morning, it was not even six o'clock. He got up early just for running, boxing and exercise. The silly girl was sleeping soundly, but Cao Yukun's movement woke her up. The girl was confused for two seconds, and when she turned over, she hugged Cao Yukun and said in a daze, "Old sir, if she lives with us, she must be responsible for cooking!"

Cao Yukun was stunned for several seconds.

This is an unexpected surprise.

Cao Yukun's moral bottom line is actually quite low now, but he still maintains basic respect for the girl he likes and is unwilling to hurt the intimacy between them. So, although he tried to persuade Xie Xiaoyu last night, at best he was trying to persuade her not to care about her cheating outside and not to get involved with Huang Jiaying. But he never mentioned letting Huang Jiaying come to live with him.

In his opinion, bringing up this matter is like poking a hornet's nest!

As a result... Could it be that she took my words last night, that Huang Jiaying's cooking was delicious, to heart? Could it be that she had been thinking about asking Huang Jiaying to come over and cook for her all night?

When he came to his senses, Cao Yukun lay back down and hugged her sideways, "Are you willing to let her live here?"

The silly girl woke up from this question and rubbed her eyes in confusion, "Huh? What do you mean by moving in?"

When asked again, she denied it and said she never said it.

Once again, Cao Yukun was helpless with her.

He felt that his approach might be wrong - he really didn't have any experience in getting along with girls in his previous life. He wasn't really good at being a scumbag or a sea king. He just relied on his low moral bottom line in this life.

After breakfast, Cao Yukun drove Xie Xiaoyu back to the county government for work. As soon as Xie Xiaoyu got in the car, the mobile phone that Cao Yukun casually placed on the dashboard suddenly rang.

Cao Yukun picked it up and subconsciously wanted to hang up.

In fact, he always tries to answer the phone as little as possible in front of girls.

But this time, his hand fell on the hang-up button. He hesitated again, and then pressed the answer button in front of Xie Xiaoyu who was sitting in the passenger seat.

It turned out to be Song Yuqian. "A Kun, our teacher called me and said that my admission letter has arrived. It's from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications! I've been admitted! Can you pick me up in the morning? I'm going to get the admission letter!"

Early in the morning, there were almost no cars on the streets of Fuping County these days. There was no engine noise, no horns, at best there were some dinging bicycle bells, the shouts of small vendors selling breakfast, and greetings between acquaintances. The sound insulation of the brand new Mercedes-Benz was top-notch...

The sound was very clear and crisp and reached the ears of Xie Xiaoyu who was sitting in the passenger seat.

She was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look over.

Cao Yukun didn't care about her look at all. He looked surprised by what happened on the phone and said, "Okay! That's great! Congratulations! I'll take care of the things on my hands later and come to pick you up!"

"Well, OK! I'll wait for you at home!"

On the other end of the phone, Song Yuqian agreed sweetly and hung up.

Cao Yukun put the mobile phone back and was about to start the car, but he turned his head and glanced at Xie Xiaoyu seemingly unintentionally. Seeing that she looked dazed, he leaned over, grabbed her chin, kissed her, and patted her hand, "Mistress of the house, fasten your seat belts!"

Xie Xiaoyu's eyes finally moved, but after a few turns, the grievance on her face came out first, and she couldn't help but ask: "Old official, who is this?"

Cao Yukun waved his hands loudly, "Hey, they are all outsiders!"

After that, he took the initiative to lean over and help Xie Xiaoyu fasten her seat belt, then smiled and held her little face, "Don't worry, you are the only mistress of my house! Other girls will not be a threat to you!"

She seemed relieved, but still not happy.

Somewhat aggrieved.

But at this time, Cao Yukun had already let go of her, fastened his seat belt, and started the car. When the car drove into the county government compound and stopped, Cao Yukun finally turned his head to look at her again - the girl lowered her head and sat there fiddling with her fingers.

Cao Yukun asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

She raised her head and looked over, "You are so fickle!"

Cao Yukun pursed his lips, unbuckled the seat belt, and once again leaned over to hold her face with a sincere expression, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, I made you feel wronged."

She looked at Cao Yukun intently. It seemed that because of these words, all the grievances in her heart found an outlet at once. Tears quickly rolled out of her eyes and fell out.

Ah...it's so heartbreaking!
Cao Yukun quickly hugged her and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Then he pushed her away and hurried to wipe her tears. "Then I won't pick her up today. Don't be sad, okay? You know, the person the old official loves the most is you!"

She sobbed twice, looked up at me with tears in her eyes, "Really?"

"Of course it's true! I swore to your father! We are going to have a baby! If I didn't love you the most, how could I marry you, right?"

But it didn't seem to have much effect, and she continued sobbing with tears in her eyes.

Several tears, one big drop at a time, then several big drops, kept sliding down his face.

To be honest, let alone in the last life, even if it was a few months ago, if there was a beauty like Xie Xiaoyu with tears in her eyes in front of him, Cao Yukun would have knelt down long ago.

And they must have knelt down firmly and worked for others to earn money for their whole lives without any regrets.

But now, he suddenly felt a little irritable and impatient.

I even began to feel a little regretful.

Damn, if I had known this silly girl was so hard to deal with, I should have not touched her in the first place...

Since I slept with her that day, I have been faced with almost nothing but trouble. Every single one of them is caused by her. I worked hard to make up excuses and find reasons last night. I was busy for two or three hours. This morning, it was still the same...

Well, I really don’t want to play anymore!
He had a vague feeling from the bottom of his heart: If Xie Xiaoyu continued to harass him like this, he would either completely lose his patience and end up falling out with her and Xie Zhaofang, or he would break up with her too, and then it would go without saying that the two sides would become enemies...

After hesitating for a moment, he hardened his heart and said, "Xiaoyu, if you feel you regret following me..."

Xie Xiaoyu's eyes were still filled with tears, but it was strange that this girl was definitely not a sensitive person, but she seemed to be particularly sensitive to the change in Cao Yukun's attitude. With just this one sentence, Cao Yukun hadn't said anything crucial, but she suddenly didn't know what she sensed. She looked up with a startled look, and she didn't care about crying anymore, staring at Cao Yukun with wide eyes.

The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he almost blocked them away with her pitiful look!

But Cao Yukun finally said, "What I mean is, you know, I am indeed a playboy. In fact, ever since I first met you, I felt that I was not worthy of you! Later, I told Uncle Xie the same thing, but... I really love you too much, I couldn't help it... I thought again and again, how can I make myself qualified to have you, and I thought, I am so playboy, I definitely don't deserve you! Then... then I will think of another way, so I thought, I want to buy the sock factory, as long as Xie Xiaoyu is willing to give birth to a son for me, then in the future this sock factory will belong to the son born by Xie Xiaoyu and me..."

"But now I feel that even if I do this and Uncle Xie agrees and you are very happy, you still can't accept it as long as it involves my unfaithfulness. In the final analysis, I am not worthy of you! Otherwise, Xiaoyu, we should..."

Xie Xiaoyu suddenly rushed over, but the next moment, her body was pulled back by the safety belt. But then, she still struggled to reach over and put her hand over Cao Yukun's mouth, "Don't say it!"

The next moment, she found the seat belt buckle and opened it. She groaned and moved closer, almost squeezing half of her body into the driver's seat. She hugged Cao Yukun's neck tightly with both hands, and said, as if she was making an oath, or perhaps a warning, "You are my son's father! I will only give birth to sons for you!"

After hugging for more than ten seconds, she loosened her hold and moved away a little, pursing her lips for a long time before looking up at me, "I don't want to be separated from you."

"But we are obviously a little bit..."

"Then you can let her move in! But let's make it clear first, I live in my yard and she lives in hers. I don't want to live with her, and she has to cook for me!"

"Uh……"

Cao Yukun was stunned for a few moments before he realized that she was actually talking about Huang Jiaying again.

However, at this moment, Xie Xiaoyu seemed to have entered a certain state all of a sudden. She reacted very quickly and spoke very quickly, and suddenly seemed to be very alert. "Is it not okay for Auntie to take care of the cooking?"

At this time, Cao Yukun was suddenly a little confused, "It can be... it can be!"

"Then I don't care about anything else you do. Only Sister Jiaying is allowed to live in my garden. No one else is allowed!"

"Uh... that's fine too."
