Random Matchmaking 4

“Fine. I agree, okay? Can you two go to bed now? It’s very late.”

Su Yu thought it was late and not a good time to argue with the kids.

It was no big deal to invite Lu Yan to a meal; it wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it.

He’d go and pick up Lu Yan when she was released from the hospital. After all, she was Mian’s younger sister.

Seeing Su Yu give in, the twins were elated and danced up to their room on the second floor.

Su Yu got them new towels and escorted them upstairs.

An and Zeng Rou were left in the living room, feeling a bit awkward.

An glanced at Zeng Rou and noticed her discomfort.

“Miss Zeng, the twins are very good. They love President Su very much and always act like this. They didn’t do it to make you feel bad. Don’t take it to heart.”

“I know.” Zeng Rou nodded.

She lay on the sofa with arms around her chest and bit on her lip, saying slowly, “Su Yu… truly loves the twins.”

“Certainly. President Su has cared for them since they were in their mom’s belly. He’s not their biological father but loves them as if they were his own daughters. I can say he loves the kids as much as President Qin,” An said feelingly.

“Yeah. Su Yu loves them because they are Huo Mian’s children,” Zeng Rou said.

“The thing between President Su and Dr. Huo…” An began but didn’t know how to continue.

“I understand all the things about Su Yu; I’m prepared emotionally.” Zeng Rou smiled.

“Miss Zeng, in fact, it’s hard to win President Su’s heart. While you have been living here, I know you were trying to soften him, but love is something you can’t control…”

“I know. An, I know it all. I don’t hold high hopes. Really… I won’t force Su Yu or pressure him to like me. I’ll let our relationship develop naturally. To tell you the truth, I’d be satisfied to be only his friend if nothing else can happen between us. Su Yu is loyal to friends and is a pretty funny guy; I truly like him.”

“Good. I’m glad you think in this way.”

“Now let’s talk about you. I heard you even had a wedding banquet in your hometown and asked Su Yu for a leave to get married… What happened? Why do you call yourself a single dog? Where’s your wife?” Zeng Rou asked nosily.

“Oh. Don’t mention it. It’s a long story.”

“Tell me. I love long stories. Tell me your sad story so I can have something to laugh about.”

Zeng Rou said with a sweet smile.

An was exasperated.

He wouldn’t believe Zeng Rou was a daughter of a high-level official if he didn’t know better.

Her father had a much higher rank than Song Yishi’s father and Yan Ruoxi’s father, but she didn’t behave like a girl from a powerful family.

She acted more like the paparazzi…

“There’s nothing to say. I just had poor judgment. She came from the countryside just like me, and I thought she was the one… But it turned out she wanted to marry someone like President Su, not a wingman like me.” An smiled bitterly.

“It sounds sad. Did it end tragically?”

“Yeah. I was hurt, but I don’t blame her. After all, everyone is selfish and it’s her right to find someone who has power and money. I’m just a lowly bodyguard; what prospects do I have?” An smiled self-mockingly.

“I don’t think so. Bodyguards are very important. When Su Yu went out dating girls, drinking, or getting into a fistfight, you were there to clean up the aftermath, right? Otherwise, he’d have been beaten senseless by people.” Zeng Rou tried to tease An by mocking Su Yu.

Walking down the stairs, Su Yu happened to hear it.

“I knew you’d badmouth me behind my back. You eat my food and live in my house, and you dare to mock me; want me to break your leg?” Su Yu railed at her.
