Chapter 451: Chapter 450: (3 more updates)

How could Xu Zhiqiang possibly know what Yang Cuihua was thinking?

He asked blankly, "Why did Mom send Xiao Rou over to me when I don’t need anyone to take care of me?"

After thinking it over, he asked uncertainly, "Could it be that Mom feels she owed me in the past and wants to compensate me?"

"Pff!"

Xu Niannian almost fell over laughing. He had been thinking for so long, Xu Niannian thought he had finally realized it, but turned out he was so stubborn, just not getting it.

Xu Niannian held her forehead, sighing. She had given up any hope for Xu Zhiqiang.

Subtle hints were useless, she had to be direct.

"Zhiqiang, haven’t you noticed that Xiao Rou treats you differently than she treats others?"

Differently?

On the other side of the line, Xu Zhiqiang quickly responded to Xu Niannian’s question: "Haven’t noticed."

Xu Niannian: "..."

Fine, she’d overestimated her brother’s blockhead, covering her face with her hand, she said helplessly, "Xiao Rou likes you. If you don’t dislike her, why not give it a try and date her?"

"What are you talking about, Sis?" Xu Zhiqiang doubted his own ears and just as he did, someone knocked on his office door.

It was Chen Xiaorou’s gentle voice: "Zhiqiang, are you in there?"

Xu Niannian heard the voice through the phone as well. After dropping this bombshell on her brother, Xu Niannian unceremoniously hung up.

"Doot doot doot..."

Xu Zhiqiang hadn’t even had time to digest the news from Xu Niannian when Chen Xiaorou arrived, and he was so stunned he forgot how to react.

Chen Xiaorou knocked several times without a response from him.

The dial tone from the phone reminded him that he hadn’t suffered a hallucination; he indeed had just spoken on the phone with his sister.

And she certainly told him that Chen Xiaorou liked him?

For a moment, Xu Zhiqiang was stupefied.

"Zhiqiang?" Chen Xiaorou knocked a few more times, and not hearing a response, she finally left.

Xu Zhiqiang was gripping the arms of his chair, nervously adjusting his tie.

Chen Xiaorou liked him?

An issue never openly discussed, suddenly laid bare, Xu Zhiqiang now recalled how Chen Xiaorou always looked at him with such...gentleness.

All grown up, Xu Zhiqiang had never imagined that he could be someone’s boyfriend.

In the past, it was because they were poor and he had endless chores to do every day, with little chance to go to school or to meet girls.

Once the family situation improved a bit, he was then busy with the factory matters every day.

Honestly, Xu Zhiqiang had never really thought about getting to the step of marriage.

In his plans, besides helping his sister run the factory well, he had no other thoughts.

Xu Zhiqiang felt a little panicked, hand covering his mouth as he fell into deep thought.

Chen Xiaorou liked him.

He wasn’t sure if he liked Chen Xiaorou, he just knew he didn’t dislike her.

And she indeed was quite good.

She met the family elders’ criteria for a daughter-in-law, also being well-mannered and careful, without too many wrong ideas in her mind.

As his uncle Erhong often mentioned, now that their family had money, many were trying to curry favor.

To curry favor, marriage was certainly the most convenient approach.

But among the younger family members suitable for marriage, it was only he and Xu Sisi who weren’t married yet.

Xu Sisi was still studying and had gone to the capital, so even if others wanted to target her, they couldn’t find her.

As for him, lately, there were indeed several young women from the factory who seemed to "coincidentally" run into him.

Such coincidences were quite frequent.

At first, Xu Zhiqiang didn’t think much of it, but after it happened several times, and with Xu Erhong’s reminder, he understood what others meant, what their intentions were.

Xu Zhiqiang had always taken it lightly. The factory belonged to his sister, and besides helping her, he wouldn’t consider anything else.

But if he were to get married someday, and a wife with a mind of her own kept arguing with him over these matters, just the thought of it gave Xu Zhiqiang a headache.

No, he couldn’t let things continue this way.

He decided it would be Chen Xiaorou.

She was obedient, sensible, and well-behaved.

It wasn’t long after Xu Niannian’s call.

About ten days or so later, she received another call from Nancheng.

Only this time it wasn’t Xu Zhiqiang or Xu Erhong, but Yang Cuihua.

Even through the phone, Xu Niannian could hear the joy in Yang Cuihua’s tone.

"Mom, what’s got you so happy?"

"Your brother is getting married," Yang Cuihua shouted out like a loudspeaker, laughing and overly delighted.

Xu Niannian was immediately shocked, "Mom, what did you say?"

Yang Cuihua covered her mouth, giggling, not minding Xu Niannian’s questioning at all.

"Our Zhiqiang is getting married, set for next month. Bring your grandparents back with you, oh no, I have to call your grandma first to let her know, or she’ll blame me later."

With that, Yang Cuihua didn’t give Xu Niannian a chance to respond and abruptly hung up, then proceeded to call the old lady.

"Mom, Mom..." Xu Niannian hadn’t finished speaking.

Who’s her brother marrying?

Xu Niannian was baffled.

She had just reminded Xu Zhiqiang that Chen Xiaorou liked him not long ago, could it be it already worked out so quickly?

Xu Niannian was somewhat surprised; the speed was like riding on a whirlwind.

No way, she had to call back and confirm if the person was indeed Chen Xiaorou.

But the call ended up being busy.

Well, Xu Niannian gave up, guessing Yang Cuihua was probably on the phone with the old lady at the moment.
