Chapter 91: Xie Xin Yi

~7 min read 1,309 words

Su Yu, two minutes later, ran out again with a patter, "Quick, braid me two little buns!"

Su Xi quickly took the comb and accessories from Su Yu's hand and styled the disheveled her into two cute bun hairstyles.

"A well‑known dad in the circle, the reputation lives up to the name!"

Ye Shu is impressed!

This speed!

This style!

Not everyone can do it without deliberate practice!

"Why are you pink all over?"

Ye Shu glanced over; Su Yu's dress was a light pink matching his suit, and the hair ties on her two buns were pink crystal.

The two of them stood outside, and anyone who didn't know would think they were the parent and child!

"You have to tell your parents that I like pink! And that I won't go there without wearing pink—does that make sense?"

Ye Shu fell silent!

Still a party of four!

When Qin Tao drove to Splendid Garden, Ye Shu's parents had already arrived.

Ye Shu, happily holding Su Yu's hand, went in, "Dad, Mom, look who I brought!"

Ye Shu's parents showed displeasure at the sight of their son.

As if they weren't already the subject of jokes in the circle—showing up in all pink, is he trying to make a face or act foolish?

But when they saw the pink little dumpling he was holding, Ye's father and mother couldn't stay angry!

If they didn't know Su Yu was Su Xi's child, they'd think Ye Shu and Su Yu were parent and child!

This matching parent‑child outfit really struck a chord with both of them!

"Grandpa, Grandma, hi—I'm Xiao Yu—do you still remember me?"

Xu Yanjing was quick, scooping the child into her arms, "Of course we remember. Xiao Yu, do you remember Grandma?"

"We remember—Grandma sounds so young, and looks even younger!"

"Oh dear, Grandma's little sweetheart!"

Xu Yanjing thought she could adopt a god‑parent! Raising a god‑granddaughter would be nice, so she wouldn't get upset when she sees Ye Shu.

Xie Xin Yi's parents were somewhat dissatisfied; Ye Shu's outfit was neither solemn nor proper, rather frivolous. Yet, knowing their daughter's temperament, they wondered if Ye Shu was doing it on purpose.

The tug of two emotions showed a hint on his face.

Ye Zhouyang constantly watched the expressions of his old friend Xie Shouyun and his wife Yin Wei.

"Given my memory, you may not know since we've been abroad for years, but this is Su Xi's daughter, Su Yu, three years old, and already a public heir."

Ye Zhouyang knew the Xie couple must have reviewed Su Xi and Su Yu's information. Even if they hadn't known before visiting the Ye family, they surely looked it up afterward.

He said that merely to hint subtly, perhaps Ye Shu was cooperating for Su Yu's sake?

Such a son‑in‑law who dotes on the child—do they really not consider it?

"President Xie, Mrs. Xie, hello!"

Su Yu nodded at the two elders.

Su Xi, following behind, also called out, "President Xie, Mrs. Xie! Hello!"

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

"Grandpa, Grandma, this sister is so beautiful!"

Xie Xin Yi smiled at the pink Su Yu.

"Thank you for the compliment, little one!"

"By seniority, you should call me Aunt Xie!"

Xu Yanjing reminded from the side. She actually wanted Su Yu to call her "Auntie" directly.

"Hello Aunt Xie! I'm Su Yu, you can call me Xiao Yu!"

"Hello, Xiao Yu!"

Xu Yanjing immediately thought of a good plan, to matchmake her son with Xie Xin Yi.

"Ye Shu, we forgot to get Xiao Yu some dessert; you and Xin Yi take her to the front desk to look at the display cases, and point to whichever she likes!"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

Ye Shu and Xie Xin Yi had no objections. Both knew this was a standard procedure: the adults let them spend some time alone to get to know each other, counting as the first round of mutual interview.

Su Yu, while being led by Ye Shu, was completely daydreaming.

【Xin Yi, Xie Xin Yi, is she the hardcore pink enthusiast? Besides loving pink to the extreme, she's a good person!】

Su Yu hesitated; if she said Ye Shu liked pink, it would be a boost, right? She had promised to spoil this matchmaking!

Su Yu was conflicted, but Xie Xin Yi and Ye Shu were not.

Xie Xin Yi took the initiative, "You came this time dressed in pink—are you dissatisfied with me?"

Ye Shu had already prepared a script in the car; hearing that, his spirit jolted, thinking, "Here it comes!"

"No, I personally love pink!"

Ye Shu inadvertently showed off his pink kids' smartwatch; the more he hated it in the morning, the more he liked it at night!

This prop really fits the current scene perfectly!

What he did this morning circulated throughout the circle. He deliberately flaunted it; even a girl couldn't stand it, right?

"You're a boy—how could you possibly like pink?"

"Why is it impossible? Our morning game, or rather I actively asked Xiao Yu to buy pink; otherwise, how could she have been so decisive in buying this color? We had already discussed it at the company, right, Xiao Yu?"

Su Yu raised her head and nodded seriously.

"Uncle is right!"

【What should we do? How can we let Ye Shu know this news?】

Xie Xin Yi looked at Ye Shu's exaggerated expression, but she still didn't quite believe it.

Ye Shu, seeing that he had a chance to push Xie Xin Yi out of this pit, shouted even more enthusiastically.

"The meaning of colors is given by people; the ancients assigned meaning to pink, imprisoning everyone's fondness for it! It's obviously so beautiful! Why can't boys like it?"

"Uncle and aunt took me to look at your room; it's mostly black and white."

Xie Xin Yi wanted to complain, it was like a coffin room—nothing but black and white, just looking at it felt oppressive!

Ye Shu felt that at this moment he was performing beyond his usual level, his IQ had reached its peak: "It's precisely because the room is black and white that I often don't go home!"

Ye Shu's eyes were brimming with hot tears!

He saw it!

Xie Xin Yi looked at his gaze, which was pitiful and regrettable!

What does this indicate!

This shows that this girl doesn't fancy him!

Good news!

Su Yu is really too useful!

In the morning they set up a game, quickly calming his parents' anger; in the evening it let him rely on that game to avoid the blind date, so even if Su Yu tricks him again, as long as it's not as socially deadly and embarrassing as this morning, he can forgive her.

Ye Shu had even planned which bar to go to later, pretending to drown his sorrows in alcohol, what to say when he got home, and how to avoid his parents' cane.

"Boys shouldn't like pink, right? I still suspect you're trying to reject me on purpose by being so blunt? Or we could go shopping, and you prove it to me."

"There's no need to prove it! I just like pink!"

"Then are you going?"

Xie Xin Yi's gaze was full of provocation, she was certain Ye Shu wouldn't go!

Ye Shu thought, going shopping then to a bar to get drunk all night would also be a great idea!

Thinking of this, his face became excited!

"We agreed, the pink things you buy, you have to bring them back for me; if you can't give them to me, you still have to keep them safe!"

Ye Shu thought, at this moment his acting skills were far superior to Su Yu's!

In order to cover up his earlier lie, Ye Shu tricked his parents.
