Chapter 1207 - 1206: Yu Hao
At this moment, Old Master Xiao didn’t blame his assistant. He quickly looked at his phone, and the person beside him was also wearing a pink outfit.
"When did Yiyi get a partner and not tell this old man? Plus, this man looks a bit familiar. How come I can’t recall right away? Just don’t tell me yet, let me guess for a bit."
Old Master Xiao pinched his brow, thought for a long time, then looked at the phone again and suddenly remembered who it was.
"Why is Yiyi with that kid again, and it’s just an event at the branch company, why is Yiyi involved in this too? She might as well come back and properly review the documents. This girl doesn’t listen at all now, and going out dressed like this will inevitably get reported by the media."
Although Old Master Xiao knew Xu Ke was a good person, seeing his granddaughter going out with him, the media reports naturally wouldn’t be favorable, they’d surely think his granddaughter was attached.
Even though Old Master Xiao admitted that he knew Xu Ke was outstanding, this doesn’t mean Xu Ke and his granddaughter can just be together and ruin her reputation.
"Sir, they are attending the party right now. It’s inappropriate for you to go, it’s inappropriate not to go. I advise you to get some sleep now, and ask her about it when she returns?"
After hearing the assistant’s words, Old Master Xiao was infuriated. This assistant tells him to sleep; how can he sleep now?
"You showed me this matter and now urge me to sleep. I couldn’t sleep even more. If I truly could sleep after this happened, I wouldn’t be her grandfather."
The assistant was particularly regretful at this moment. Why did he tell the old master about this? The old master now probably wishes he could see the young miss.
Meanwhile, the media reports have already portrayed the two as a couple, so now people seeing them think they’re boyfriend and girlfriend.
At this moment, someone from the crowd walked over, and it was Yu Hao, who had just returned from abroad. Yu Hao looked at the little girl he once knew, with a man beside her, his fists clenched tightly.
He thought he was outstanding enough, so someone like Xiao Keyi wouldn’t generally fancy those spoiled brats. But unexpectedly, Xiao Keyi was standing with a man, with a blissful smile, leaving him pondering more, so he took his wine glass and walked over.
"Let me tell you, I used to really dislike attending such parties, they were extremely boring. But now it’s different, with you here, the party feels interesting. Let me introduce you to some people, they’re somewhat famous in the game and anime industry; it’ll help with future collaborations."
Xiao Keyi spoke and then held Xu Ke’s hand, ready to look for those people, but was unexpectedly blocked.
When Xiao Keyi looked up, it was the Yu Hao she met years ago, while Xu Ke also looked at the young man in front; dressed in a black suit with glasses edged in gold.
He wore a luxurious watch on his wrist, his entire attire looked exceptionally lavish.
"Yiyi, haven’t seen you in years, you’re still as fiery as ever. I didn’t expect to see you here today. The person beside you is..."
Yu Hao spoke, lifting his wine glass and pointed at Xu Ke, while Xiao Keyi saw Yu Hao’s gesture and was particularly displeased. How can he point with wine at others? So, she stood in front of Xu Ke, looking protective.
"Can you hold your wine glass properly? If you’re going to be impolite again, please leave. This person is naturally the president of our branch company."
Upon hearing Xiao Keyi say this, Yu Hao instantly was delighted, realizing he wasn’t her boyfriend, which was truly fantastic.
"Why are you so nervous, Yiyi? I wouldn’t dare harm him, and since he’s the president of your Xiao Group’s branch, he must be involved in the industry too. We could exchange ideas more often. Besides, isn’t a big man being protected by a woman just embarrassing?"
At first, Yu Hao really envied and was jealous, which is why he said that sentence. But seeing what happened later, he grew angrier the more he thought, which made his latter words nearly a curse.
As Xiao Keyi heard that, she was about to argue with Yu Hao but Xu Ke just patted her shoulder to reassure her, while Yu Hao, seeing that hand on Xiao Keyi’s shoulder, wished he could chop it off immediately.
"I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, my relationship with Yiyi is good, so it’s understandable she stood in front of me. But this is not something you should involve yourself in."
Upon hearing Xu Ke say this, Yu Hao clenched his fist. He didn’t expect someone could address Yiyi this way. After years abroad, he didn’t anticipate such a situation.
Clearly, he came too late, so he looked hurtfully at Xiao Keyi, who at this time had stars in her eyes, raising her hand, lowering her head shyly. She didn’t expect Xu Ke to call her name so beautifully; that voice was truly lovely.
Meanwhile, Yu Hao suddenly felt a particular pain in his eyes and heart. Xiao Keyi was really aloof back then.
Unexpectedly now, she was so demure around someone else, making him feel exceptionally defeated.
But now Yu Hao felt he couldn’t give up. If he did, it could be a lifetime, so he looked at Xu Ke without any fear, even raising his wine glass to clink with Xu Ke.
"Your relationship with Yiyi is good, and I do admit it. Thank you for taking care of Yiyi all these years, which eased my mind. But now that I’m back, you don’t need to trouble yourself."
Yu Hao spoke, ready to block Xiao Keyi’s shoulder, but unexpectedly, the aloof Xiao Keyi reacted in time and quickly dodged back into Xu Ke’s arms.
As if encountering something dangerous, her eyes showed fear, even deep disgust.
But Yu Hao’s hand froze in mid-air; he didn’t expect Yiyi to resent him so much now. It wasn’t like this before; they were the best friends back then. Now she detests him so?
"What are you trying to do? You came over just like this, then you want to touch me? I’m fully grown, need your care? I’ve said this is my friend, please respect my friend and respect me."
After speaking, Xiao Keyi was about to pull Xu Ke away, but unexpectedly, Yu Hao shouted from behind, "Kid, I want to ask, do you know she has a fiancé?"
At this moment, Yu Hao embraced the mentality that if he can’t get her, neither should anyone else, while Xiao Keyi, upon hearing this, turned pale on her face, unexpectedly Yu Hao dared to really shout it out, what should she do now?
