Courtyard House: My Wife is Xu Huizhen

Page 708

"I was awake the moment you quietly slipped out of my arms."

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhiru first opened her mouth wide in disbelief, then let out a short, sharp cry:

"what!"

Immediately afterwards, her mind went blank, and she didn't have time to think about the reasons.

Just then, He Yuzhu suddenly reached out and grabbed Huang Zhiru's slender wrist.

Huang Zhiru felt a strong force coming from her, her feet stumbled, and she lost her balance, falling straight towards the bed.

The next second, Huang Zhiru fell heavily onto the soft bed and plunged headfirst into He Yuzhu's broad and warm embrace.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu's smile deepened. He hugged Huang Zhiru tightly and asked softly:

"What? You slept with me last night, and now you're trying to slip away unnoticed first thing this morning? Are you really that irresponsible?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhiru was so angry she almost fainted. She glared at He Yuzhu, her eyes wide, and retorted through gritted teeth:

"What nonsense are you spouting! I'm the one who suffered the most! Although I'm not physically injured, you despicable guy took off my clothes and cuddled me all night! I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you dare to slander me!"

"What are you saying? I'm the one who's clearly at a disadvantage."

He Yuzhu said with a shameless grin:

"Where did you lose out? I'm the big boss, and you think you lost out by sleeping with me for one night?"

Huang Zhiru took a deep breath, knowing that arguing with her boss was pointless, and said directly:

"Let go of me first so I can get up."

He Yuzhu didn't let go but asked, "Will you be my woman?"

Huang Zhirou frowned: "I don't want you. You have so many women, I'm not going to be your concubine."

"But you were already my woman yesterday."

Thinking about what happened yesterday, Huang Zhirou got angry and said defiantly, "No, that's not true."

He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "Do you want to marry another man?"

"I..."

Huang Zhirou was stunned. Yes, could she marry someone else?

The boss was rich and powerful; even the gangsters who ran the bar gave him face and got him out of the bar.

If I marry another man, how will my boss treat the other men?

He Yuzhu then asked, "Do you think if I were to propose to your father, he would agree to let you marry me?"

Chapter 496 Unexpected Family Reunion

Huang Zhirou's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. She never expected that her father would repeatedly persuade her to seize the opportunity to become He Yuzhu's concubine!

In an instant, anger burned like a flame in her heart, and she cried out coquettishly:

"You're not allowed to propose to my father, or else... I'll never speak to you again!"

After saying that, she turned her head away angrily.

Seeing this, He Yuzhu quickly nodded in agreement:

"Okay, okay, I promise you, but you have to agree to one condition first."

Huang Zhirou looked at him warily and asked:

"What are the conditions? You can't force me to marry you!"

He Yuzhu smiled slightly, shook his head, and said:

"Of course not, my condition is very simple, you just need to kiss me."

As soon as she said this, Huang Zhirou's face flushed bright red, and she stomped her foot in embarrassment and anger, saying:

"Boss, this is going too far! How can you make demands like this!"

However, He Yuzhu calmly countered with a question:

"Then what can we do? Do you really expect me to go to your house to propose marriage?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhirou hurriedly waved her hand and called out:

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Seeing Huang Zhirou's firm refusal, He Yuzhu deliberately sighed and said with a helpless expression:

"Since that's the case, then I'll have to lower my expectations a bit. How about I give you a kiss instead?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Zhirou was first taken aback, and then fell into a dilemma.

She thought to herself that if she didn't let him kiss her, he probably wouldn't give up easily;

But she felt too embarrassed to let him kiss her.

After a moment of inner struggle, Huang Zhirou finally nodded slightly and slowly closed her beautiful eyes.

Seeing that Huang Zhirou had agreed, He Yuzhu felt a surge of joy. He gently raised his head and slowly approached the face that had captivated him for so long.

Just as their lips were about to touch, Huang Zhirou involuntarily let out a soft moan, like a startled fawn.

As He Yuzhu gently kissed her, Huang Zhirou was completely immersed in this sweet first kiss, gradually losing herself in the moment...

Their lips parted reluctantly only when they both felt they could hardly breathe.

At this moment, Huang Zhirou suddenly realized that He Yuzhu had quietly unbuttoned one of the buttons on his shirt and slipped his hand into her bosom without her noticing.

Huang Zhirou was startled and quickly reached out to press down on the restless hand, then pulled it out forcefully.

After finally managing to break free from He Yuzhu's warm embrace, she blushed and glared at him coquettishly before hurriedly standing up, taking two big steps back, and frantically straightening her slightly disheveled clothes.

"Hmph! You bad boss, confess honestly, did you deliberately force me to drink a lot of alcohol last night?"

Huang Zhirou pouted and asked angrily.

"Hey, that's not right! To be honest, I was just about to settle this score with you! It was you who kept pouring me drinks last night, wasn't it?"

He Yuzhu retorted with an innocent look on his face.

"You...you boss are really wicked, you actually turned around and blamed me!"

Huang Zhirou stomped her foot in anger, her cheeks puffed out like a cute little steamed bun.

Seeing Huang Zhirou's exasperated yet charming appearance, He Yuzhu couldn't help but chuckle. But seeing that Huang Zhirou seemed genuinely angry, he didn't dare to continue pursuing the topic.

After all, although he didn't actually manage to have a romantic relationship with Huang Zhirou this time, their relationship has undoubtedly taken a big step forward after this intimate encounter.

These things can't be rushed; they need to be developed step by step to create a more romantic atmosphere. So, he straightened his clothes a little and then went out of the room to find the captain to inquire about the latest developments in the voyage.

Loading began yesterday afternoon, and night had already fallen by the time the ship slowly sailed away from the coast and into international waters.

For safety reasons, the speed was kept extremely slow, and the ship sailed leisurely for the entire night.

Even so, by the time dawn broke, there was still a considerable distance to go to reach the destination port.

After a long and anxious wait, more than an hour later, the long-awaited port finally came into view.

As the ship gradually approached the shore, port staff quickly boarded the ship's side and began a series of meticulous inspections.

He Yuzhu calmly took out a precious voucher from his pocket, which was personally handed to him by Huo Yingdong, and presented it to the staff.

Then, he calmly said:

"Please wait a moment, I need to make a phone call to a certain leader."

The staff member in charge of the inspection took the document and examined it carefully, a hint of doubt in his eyes. He then asked:

"May I ask who this leader you are referring to is?"

Without hesitation, He Yuzhu announced the name of the high-ranking leader. As soon as he finished speaking, he and Huang Zhirou stepped onto the solid dock ground under the close escort of several police officers.

At the same time, He Yuzhu dialed the phone number he knew by heart.

Before long, a familiar and friendly voice came through the receiver—it was that big boss!

"Hey?"

Upon hearing this greeting, He Yuzhu quickly responded:

"Hello, leader! This is Sha Zhu! I'm here to say hello!"

The high-ranking leader on the other end of the phone was clearly surprised and delighted to receive the call, and hurriedly asked:

"Oh my god, Sha Zhu! I never expected it to be you calling. Tell me quickly, where are you right now?"

It turns out that the two of them had already agreed that He Yuzhu would definitely return to meet with him when the Canton Fair was held this autumn.

After all, there are many important matters that need to be discussed and handled at that time.

Given the great distance between the two sides, it is truly uncertain whether He Yuzhu will be able to return safely.

Early that morning, when the top leader suddenly heard He Yuzhu's familiar and warm voice, a surge of joy welled up in his heart.

He Yuzhu said, "I just arrived at the port, and this time not only did I come back on my own, but I also brought back a large batch of important equipment! I..."

Before he could finish speaking, the senior leader hurriedly interrupted:
