Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 406 Smart Peach
Taozi has never been a silly girl.

It’s just that everyone has arranged everything for her since she was a child, so she doesn’t need to think for herself.

So when she saw Shen Siyuan's interested look, she vaguely sensed something was wrong.

After blinking, she said shyly, "Grandma asked me if I really like you..."

Huh? Is this something I can listen to?
"Then what did you tell her?" Shen Siyuan said speechlessly.

"Of course I mean it." Taozi blinked and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

"And then, what else did grandma say?"

"Grandma asked us when we will get married." Taozi said with a smile.

"Haha..." Shen Siyuan laughed awkwardly.

Taozi suddenly grabbed Shen Siyuan's hand across the table and said hopefully, "You will help me, right?"

Shen Siyuan heard this and said with a smile: "I can't help you with this. Even if I agree, Ruan Ruan won't agree."

"So what you mean is that as long as Ruan Ruan agrees, there will be no problem?" Taozi raised her eyebrows, looking mischievous.

Shen Siyuan was a little confused when he saw this, but then he thought, Ruan Hongzhuang would definitely not agree, no matter how good their relationship was. He was just pretending to be Taozi's boyfriend, and she called him last night, and he could smell the jealousy in her voice through the screen.

So he smiled and nodded and said, "Of course, as long as Ruan Ruan agrees, I will definitely have no problem."

"It's settled then." Taozi said with a giggle.

Then he extended his little finger.

"What?"

"Handshake." Taozi said with a smile.

"How childish."

But Shen Siyuan still stretched out his finger and made a pinky promise with her.

Taozi was very satisfied with the result and said proudly: "From today on, you are mine."

"If you have the guts, just say that to Ruan Ruan's face." Shen Siyuan glared at her.

Taozi shrank her neck, then immediately raised her head and chest and said, "Just say it, do you think I dare not?"

Then he glanced at the pile of garbage on the table and exclaimed, "Are you all done?"

"Or else?"

Shen Siyuan stuffed all the things back into the bag and waited for room service to come and clean them up.

“I haven’t eaten enough.”

"Who made you absent-minded just now?"

Shen Siyuan stood up and walked out of the room.

Taozi quickly picked up her bag and followed.

"where are you going?"

Shen Siyuan thought about it and it seemed that he really had nowhere to go.

"What about you? Are you going back to Binhai today?"

"No, I don't want to. I finally got some time off, but when I go back I'm treated like a cow again."

"Didn't Ruan Ruan say that you either watch TV series or eat every day? What kind of cow is this? An Indian cow?"

"What do you mean?" Taozi didn't understand for a moment.

“The cow with the highest happiness index.”

peach:……

"Nonsense! There's no such thing as happiness as long as you're like a slave at work." Taozi said angrily.

"No, I felt very happy in my previous job." Shen Siyuan said.

Thinking about it now, I really miss the days when I could brag and chat with my colleagues every day.

"Was your previous job interesting? I've never heard you say that."

Taozi habitually took Shen Siyuan's arm and went into the elevator with him. After entering the elevator, Shen Siyuan also reacted.

"What? Now I don't have to pretend to be your boyfriend anymore."

Shen Siyuan wanted to pull his arm back, but he didn't expect Taozi to hold him so tightly. If he tried to pull it out forcibly, there would probably be more intense friction.

But Taozi took the initiative to let go of his arm.

"You're so stingy. What's wrong with a hug? I'm mainly...mainly afraid of being seen by people I know. Let me tell you, I have a lot of friends in Coconut City." Taozi said proudly.

“Then there’s no need to stick together all the time.”

"I haven't talked about it. I don't know."

Shen Siyuan: ...

However, her words made Shen Siyuan feel a little curious.

"You and Ruan Ruan, have you really never talked to anyone?"

Both of them are 28 years old this year. When it comes to having had boyfriends, Shen Siyuan is no exception. After all, they are both beautiful women, not ugly ones.

"What? Do you miss Ruan Ruan's boyfriend? I didn't expect you have this hobby? →_→"

Taozi hid aside with a look of disgust.

"That's not what I meant, but you really know a lot." Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

"I don't understand what you are talking about." Taozi pretended to be stupid.

"You haven't answered my question yet." Shen Siyuan continued to ask.

"How should I put it? On the one hand, we didn't see the right person. Because we grew up in an environment with too many excellent people. Those people in school seemed a little childish, and it was hard for us to see the right person."

"There is another aspect. When we enjoy the good life our family brings us, we must take on corresponding responsibilities and not be too casual in our private lives..."

"Of course, the main reason is that I'm not very interested in these things. When Ruan Ruan was in school, she was thinking about starting a business in the future, but I was too lazy to talk about it because I felt that men could not provide me with any value."

Shen Siyuan understood that with their family backgrounds, they would most likely choose an arranged marriage. Although arranged marriages value the family behind the couple, if their private lives are too casual, the arranged marriage may not only fail to become a strong alliance, but may even lead to enmity, causing the two families to fall apart.

Call it conservative or traditional, but it is beneficial to the development of both companies.

Of course, it ultimately depends on the two girls themselves. They are not forced to comply. It can only be said that this is just one of the factors.

For example, when Ruan Hongzhuang met Shen Siyuan, she didn't think too much about it.

As soon as the two came out of the elevator, they heard someone calling.

"Mr. Shen."

Shen Siyuan looked towards the lounge area in the hall and saw Zhong Xiaonan standing there waiting for her.

Today she had her hair in two ponytails, but they were not the neat ponytails. Instead, they looked messy and sloppy. Paired with her wide-waisted denim skirt, it gave people a casual and peaceful feeling.

It's like a ray of sunshine in the forest, making people's eyes brighten.

Taozi looked at the other person with some surprise, then calmly took Shen Siyuan's arm again.

Shen Siyuan glanced at her and said, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"

"I'm afraid of disturbing your rest. I don't have anything to do anyway." Zhong Xiaonan said with a smile.

Seeing that she had empty hands, Shen Siyuan walked over and sat down opposite her.

Seeing this, Taozi immediately sat down next to him.

Shen Siyuan glanced at her, and she immediately whispered, "I'm helping Ruan Ruan keep an eye on you to prevent you from doing anything rash."

Shen Siyuan: ...

But he didn't say anything. Instead, he asked Zhong Xiaonan to sit down and talk slowly.

"We have found some results for the matter you asked us to investigate. Since it is just some old stuff, it has not been sorted into documents. I will tell you verbally."

"Okay, you go ahead."

Shen Siyuan was also curious about the past between Sun Xinghai and He Qingyan.
