I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 64 I sugges

The line that was formed between Yu Chen's brows didn't escape the old man's eyes. Yu Chen was silent but the old man could tell that he did not approve of what he just said at all. Sigh... this grandson of mine really is so difficult... If only he was born a casanova or whatever... sigh...

"Look, I'm already old and I could die at any moment. If I die and you still don't have a successor, everyone will come after your head, you know that, right? And don't think I don't know that you topped the highest bounty in the black market since you stepped into this role." A faint glimmer of sadness and anger flashed across the old man's eyes as he looked at his grandson but Yu Chen remained composed, unbothered still.

"Grandfather, I already told you many times not to worry about that. No one can touch me."

"Your brother said those same words long ago, but look at what happened?"

The words that left the old man's mouth made the atmosphere quite heavy. Yu Chen's calmness was disrupted. His jaw clenched and his eyes burned with utter destruction. But gladly, the brewing storm lasted for just a moment. For some reason, he suddenly loosened up. The dark clouds in his eyes and his dangerous aura slowly dissipated.

"That was my fault. I was the reason he failed to keep his words. But… circumstances are different now. I have learned from the past and I'm now much more powerful than he was. I will crush anyone who dares to come after me. So stop worrying unnecessarily." He said. His voice was steadfast and his eyes calm again, as still as an untouched lake in the heart of a virgin forest which was guarded by ancient spirits.

Looking at those ever-so-dangerously calm eyes of his, the old man could only sigh. This grandson of his was indeed someone whom even he would not be able to deal with. It was unthinkable but even an old man like him felt shivers when facing him sometimes. Sigh… even though this punk is my very own grandson…

But despite it all, the old man was somewhat the same as his grandson after all. They were both stubborn; definitely the definition of the words 'no retreat, no surrender'.

"Sigh… my dear grandson, I could somehow tell that you really adored her so why won't you just go and spend more time with your fiancée? You brought her home just to leave her there alone? At this rate, she will think that you're not taking her seriously at all, you know? You even brought her to that home of yours that is so far away from civilization. Sigh… I feel sorry for her. She is so young to like being secluded in that boring house."

"She likes my house."

"Hah! Are you sure about that?! Maybe she's just saying that because she's scared."

"She's not scared of me."

"Sigh… My dear grandson, you're a noob when it comes to relationships. You don't understand women at all. Women are good in faking their feelings."

"She's different. I believe her."

Old man Yu was speechless. He was quite surprised. It looked like this grandson of his was more than serious with this Luo Xiaolei for him to actually defend her like this. And really? He actually said he believed her? This Yu Chen now trusts a woman?!

"So you can finally trust women?"

"Her, alone."

Yu Zhaohui was again silenced. Honestly, he didn't expect that Yu Chen would tell him that he trusted her. It was absolutely mystifying. The old man couldn't help but be curious, but he knew this grandson of his wouldn't say another word if he asked now.

"If you're already attached to her that much, then why on earth are you still against my suggestion?!"

"I can't do that. If I don't go to work and spend day and night with her instead, sticking to her like gum all day long, she might find it uncomfortable. She might think I'm trying to control her. I don't want her to think that I want to chain her to me. I don't want to make her feel that I'm taking away her freedom."

Surprisingly, Yu Chen's explanation made sense. What surprised the old man the most was the fact that his grandson was thinking about the girl much more seriously than expected but this fact that he learned only made the old man to persist.

"Well, you have a point. Then how about this? You will still work but you will only deal with major scale projects. Gu Jinyang and I will deal with the rest. You will transfer your office to your house and only come out when needed."

After the old man's convincing statement, the man leaning quietly on the wall finally spoke.

"I honestly approve with the master's suggestion." He said and Yu Chen's gaze immediately fell on him. "It's not that bad, no? Besides, didn't she set a time limit of only five months. If you are too busy like this, your relationship might not progress."

Somehow, it looked like Gu Jinyang words hit the right spot. The last sentence he mentioned made the man's eyes narrow.

Gu Jinyang and the old man exchanged gazes as they waited for Yu Chen's decision.

After a short while, the man seemed to have finally decided.

"Okay," he agreed and the old man's face brightened. "But you will not take over my position."

"Of course, I know, I know."

Thus, the matter was finally settled. But that day, Yu Chen didn't go home as per his grandfather's requests. He dealt with everything, including the matter with Mr. Zhang.

After everything was settled, Yu Chen finally left the company, leaving Gu Jinyang with the old man.

"So? Boss, what's the plan?" Now that Gu Jinyang stayed at the company to help old man Yu, the younger Gu was now the one sitting in his brother's usual spot.

"Home," uttered Yu Chen, and his boring reply obviously bored the hyperactive man beside him.

Gu Wei slighly leaned in on him.

"Uhm boss, actually, I received a message from Guan Ye. The Luos have sent their guards to wait for Miss Luo at her house so the Miss decided to come back another day." As soon as Yu Chen heard Gu Wei's news, his eyes narrowed into slits.

Of course, his reaction didn't escape Gu Wei's eyes so he didn't waste a single moment and he continued his report. "Guan Ye said she refused to appear before them so they went to town to buy some clothes instead. Also, sorry to tell you this, boss, but Miss Luo also refused to use your card. Guan Ye said that the things she bought were mostly for the kids. She only bought a pair or two for herself."

Yu Chen tilted his head to one side. "She… refused to use my card?" he asked, sounding pretty confused.

"Well, I guess Miss Luo doesn't like using her fiancé's money. So, I suggest... that you go and shop for her? You go and buy her lots of clothes instead of giving her money! I'm 1000% sure she'll be surprised and will be very happy. She will also fall for you even more! You can't just give her cards, you know? You have to work yourself and show her your very best effort, no?"

After Gu Wei's somewhat unnecessary emotional statement, Yu Chen looked like he found Gu Wei's words quite sensible, while the other men inside the car with the exemption of Gu Wei was, of course, quite troubled. Their lips were closed tightly even though they wanted to tell their boss not to listen to this blabber mouth, Gu Wei. Well, the other men were being cautious since they could see the possibility that Miss Luo might not like it since she already refused his card. They were afraid that it will cause a tragedy so they could only pray that their boss would think about it carefully and reject Gu Wei's offer. Sigh… Gu Jinyang, where are you? Your younger brother is trying to craft trouble again… T^T

However, as soon as the boss replied, everyone's hopes shattered and they could only brace themselves for the possible upcoming doomsday.

"Okay, lets drop by and go shopping."
