Chapter 532: Which Young Girl Isn't Yearning for Spring?

~8 min read 1,471 words

Tang Ye made a phone call to An Xin.

He learned from Han Guangyao.

During the few days he had been out of contact, An Xin had proposed to Han Guangyao that she intended to cancel the investment project in Suiyuan.

With Tang Ye's safe return, the matter had already been turned over.

However, since Secretary An had stood the test, naturally, he should keep in touch more!

"President An, the Municipal Party Committee leaders are coming to inspect the West City Development Project next week, so I am notifying you in advance, hoping that Guohao can make proper arrangements."

An Xin laughed, "Understood. I heard you were promoted to Executive. Congratulations!"

Tang Ye chuckled, "Thank you for the congratulations."

An Xin said, "When you have time, let's have a meal together."

Tang Ye said, "Anytime is fine."

An Xin asked, "Then how about tonight?"

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure?"

An Xin sensed his hesitation and laughed out loud, "Look at you, you really were just brushing me off."

Tang Ye hurriedly smoothed things over, "Tonight works too. I'll book a private room right now, what would you like to eat?"

An Xin laughed, "I'm in Hainan. You fly over to find me! My treat!"

Tang Ye gave a wry smile, "You are deliberately making things difficult for me."

An Xin shrugged and laughed, "Alright, when I return to Suiyuan, I will take the initiative to tell you."

Hanging up Tang Ye's call, An Xin took a deep breath.

An Guohao stared at An Xin and asked softly, "Was that Tang Ye calling?"

An Xin nodded slightly.

An Guohao shook his head and sighed, "I still remember the scene when Wang Xingjian first asked me to invest in Suiyuan. As a result, in the span of a year, Suiyuan has undergone earth-shaking changes. This Tang Ye is truly a figure; his future will be limitless. If you handle your relationship with him well, it will be of great use to Guohao Group."

An Xin said earnestly, "Dad, my association with Tang Ye is not for the sake of profit. If it were purely for profit, he wouldn't be so close to me."

A look of astonishment appeared in An Guohao's eyes, "Your line of thinking is correct. However, I must remind you that he is a man with a family."

An Xin bit her lip, "Dad, what are you imagining! We are just friends, I will not destroy his family. I will be mindful of the distance; besides, he is not the type I like."

An Guohao sighed complexly and shook his head with a bitter smile.

How could the feelings between a man and a woman be so easy to control?

Back then, he had also abandoned his job within the system and gone into business without hesitation because he had suffered a setback in a relationship.

He hoped his daughter would not repeat the same mistakes and take feelings too seriously.

……

When it was time to get off work, it suddenly started to rain heavily.

Tang Ye returned to his residence, and just as he stepped out of the elevator, he found a girl squatting at his door, burying her head in her knees.

Tang Ye looked closely and exclaimed in surprise, "Jiang Rou. Is that you?"

Jiang Rou slowly raised her head, her face covered in tears. She wiped the corners of her eyes and complained, "It's almost eight o'clock, why are you only just getting back?"

Tang Ye knew that Jiang Rou must have had a conflict with Jiang Jing, so he sighed inwardly and explained, "I was working overtime tonight, so I came back a little late."

Jiang Rou looked at Tang Ye with a wronged expression, "Uncle, I'm hungry."

"Come on, go inside, I'll cook for you."

Tang Ye had already eaten at the cafeteria.

There weren't many ingredients at home, so he made a bowl of egg noodles for Jiang Rou, sprinkled on a few drops of sesame oil and chopped green onions; the aroma was overflowing, making one's appetite stir.

Jiang Rou was indeed hungry.

She ate very happily, sweeping through it like a whirlwind, and soon finished it all.

She noticed Tang Ye staring at her and felt a bit embarrassed, "I haven't eaten all day, that's why I'm eating so fast."

"You're a twenty-year-old young woman, why are you still so worrying?" Tang Ye stood up to clear the dishes and walked toward the kitchen.

Jiang Rou was somewhat surprised, and also somewhat anxious, that Tang Ye hadn't asked her why she came to find him.

"Uncle, why don't you ask me the reason I came to find you?"

Tang Ye smiled while washing the dishes, "If you want to say it, I will listen; if you don't want to say it, I won't ask."

He was no longer Jiang Jing's secretary now; managing too much would be inappropriate.

Jiang Rou's eyes turned red, and she covered her face and began to sob.

Tang Ye sighed inwardly, wiped his hands dry, walked in front of Jiang Rou, and handed her a tissue.

Jiang Rou sobbed as she said, "I originally thought that my dad and my mom would have a chance to reconcile, and that we would return to the past again, but my dad has disappointed me too much."

Tang Ye was stunned for a moment, then realized that Mayor Jiang must have a girlfriend.

Jiang Jing was only in his forties, and he had been in a divorced state; it was very normal for him to meet a girlfriend.

However, from a daughter's perspective, it was hard to accept a stranger suddenly entering her life.

"Jiang Rou, you have grown up, you should be able to think clearly about many things. Feelings cannot be forced. Your dad and your mom are already divorced, they have their own choices. As for you, you should have your own life; for instance, right now, you should focus your attention on your studies and strive to get into a good university."

Jiang Rou rubbed her eyes and said angrily, "Do you think I'm particularly childish, just a big trouble?"

Tang Ye shook his head and said very earnestly, "In my eyes, you have always been excellent. You are beautiful, kind-hearted, and have a lot of personality."

Jiang Rou said with red eyes, "You're lying to me!"

Tang Ye chuckled, "Look at that, you're lacking confidence again! Actually, you really are excellent. Although you cannot change other people's lives, you can change your own destiny."

Jiang Rou lowered her head silently.

She didn't even know why she had come to find Tang Ye.

Could it be just to hear a few lines of his inspiring chicken soup?

However, it must be admitted that Tang Ye's words calmed her chaotic heart.

Tang Ye covered Jiang Rou, who was soaking wet, and said softly, "I will take you home in a while. Mayor Jiang must be worried sick."

Jiang Rou shook her head with a complicated expression, "I am not going back."

Tang Ye said very earnestly, "When you encounter problems, you cannot hide; you must face them bravely."

Jiang Rou bit her lip.

Seeing that Jiang Rou did not speak, Tang Ye took it as her silent consent.

Afterwards, Tang Ye dialed Jiang Jing's phone number.

Jiang Jing was already frantic with worry, pacing back and forth in the living room in agitation!

Today, he had broken his rule and laid a hand on Jiang Rou.

After Jiang Rou left, Jiang Jing had people search everywhere, and a fever blister had even sprouted at the corner of his mouth.

"Mayor Jiang, I am reporting something to you. Jiang Rou is with me now, and I will send her back in a while."

Jiang Jing was stunned for a long moment before he smiled bitterly, "How did she end up with you? I will arrange for someone to pick her up right now!"

"Her emotions have already stabilized. Please rest assured, I will send her back safe and sound in a little while."

He hung up the phone.

Jiang Jing sighed helplessly.

He had not expected Jiang Rou to go to Suiyuan to find Tang Ye.

Although Tang Ye was no longer his Secretary, Jiang Rou had always placed Tang Ye in a very important position.

Jiang Jing felt a sense of loss in his heart, because he wished more that Jiang Rou were willing to share her troubles with him.

As for Jiang Rou.

What young girl does not dream of love?

His daughter definitely had feelings for Tang Ye.

However, Jiang Jing trusted Tang Ye's character and believed he would know how to maintain proper boundaries.

Sometimes, Jiang Jing envied Du Chengfeng for having such a good son-in-law.
