Chapter 840: You Mean Hugging, Kissing and Fondling Each Other?

Previously, Wen Xinya had discussed the future of Lanxin Cosmetics with Li Mengjie, who then came up with a proposal and strategy. After perusing the proposal, she found it to be rather feasible and hence, decided to discuss it with Du Ruo carefully.

Wen Xinya drove to the pharmacy.

There were no major changes made to the pharmacy, though it had been a long time since Wen Xinya was there to attend lessons. She had been kicked out by Old Mr. Du one week before her coming-of-age ceremony.

As soon as Wen Xinya arrived in the living room, Mother Hao welcomed her affectionately. “Miss Xinya, you’re here. Old Sir is reading some books in the study. Stay here while I go call him.”

Wen Xinya nodded smilingly and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Hao.”

She felt that she had arrived at the right time. It was such a rare sight for Du Ruo to be doing something else instead of conducting experiments like a maniac in the research room.

Soon, Du Ruo scurried down the stairs, clad in a teddy bear pajamas and a pair of bunny slippers. “Xinya, what brings you here today?” she asked, her hair messy and unkempt.

She had not seen Wen Xinya ever since Old Mr. Du kicked Wen Xinya out, and they would at most contact each other by phone.

Wen Xinya gazed at Du Ruo and smiled. “I came here to visit you and Grandpa Du. At the same time, I’d also like to discuss some matters with you.”

It was already past ten in the morning and yet, Du Ruo still looked like she had just woken up. She reckoned that Du Ruo must have stayed up late the night before.

Du Ruo giggled and sat beside Wen Xinya. She held onto her arm and groused. “I was just wondering why you could take the time out of your busy schedule to visit me. Turns out you have an agenda. One never visits unless they need something.”

She was intentionally trying to tease Wen Xinya and was actually glad to see her.

Wen Xinya pinched her rosy cheeks which were moist and supple. “Grampy has been complaining about you lately. He keeps asking for the reason for your long absence.”

However, Du Ruo was just as obsessed with research.

Du Ruo pouted, not daring to continue teasing her. “I’ve been busy with studying the medical records that you gave me!” She then began acting all gossipy and said, “Xinya, tell me honestly. What is your relationship with that man, Si Yiyan?”

Previously, Wen Xinya had brought Si Yiyan to visit Old Mr. Du, but Du Ruo happened to be away from home at the time. Hence, she did not manage to see him in person. However, she saw his photo on the medical record and felt that he was rather compatible with Wen Xinya.

She had been keeping her relationship with Si Yiyan a secret and now that Du Ruo had asked about it, she felt like she was exposed. She turned red and pretended to be calm. “Hmm, it’s like what you think it is.”

She did not plan to hide her relationship with Si Yiyan from Old Mr. Du and Du Ruo. She had already stammered when Du Ruo called her to gossip previously. It seems she could not keep the secret any longer.

Excitement was written all over Du Ruo’s face. She stared at the shy Wen Xinya and said, “It’s like what I think? Hurry and tell me. Xinya... you can’t fool me this time.”

Having known Wen Xinya for such a long time, she knew that Wen Xinya had always been calm and rational. She had never seen her being shy and in love before. Hence, Du Ruo found it rather surprising and began to get curious about Si Yiyan.

What kind of man could manage to win the heart of the goddess-like Wen Xinya?

Du Ruo’s voice made Wen Xinya turn extremely shy. She hurriedly sipped on some tea and tried to hide her awkwardness.

Du Ruo grazed her fingers against her face and winked at her. “Do you guys... hug, kiss and fondle each other?”

Wen Xinya almost choked on her tea. “Ruoruo!”

Du Ruo stared at her while she behaved shyly. She burst into laughter and continued, “Hey, you’re acting all embarrassed and guilty! Could it be that you have already progressed to that stage...”

Her eyes widened in shock and she stared at Wen Xinya curiously.

Wen Xinya could not stand the look in her eyes at all. She turned red and hot, wishing she could dig a hole and hide herself. “Ruoruo, when have you become so gossipy?”

She was just like Zhou Tianyu.

Du Ruo tugged Wen Xinya’s arm and looked at how embarrassed she was. She guffawed and exclaimed, “He’s just your boyfriend, isn’t he? What’s there to be shy about? Women tend to become silly when they’re in love.

Wen Xinya actually became so silly.

Wen Xinya was speechless and began wondering if she had become pretentious and wishy-washy. Feeling rather flustered, she changed the subject and said, “Ruoruo, I’m here to discuss something with you today. It’s regarding the future expansion of Lanxin Cosmetics. I’ve instructed Manager Li to come up with a proposal. Take a look at it and see if you find it feasible. If you do, we’ll act according to plan.”

Wen Xinya placed the proposal in front of Du Ruo and finished the rest of her sentence anxiously. She heaved a sigh of relief before taking two large gulps of the tea to quench her thirst.

Du Ruo decided to stop teasing her. After all, there was plenty of time in the future! Excitement poured out of her eyes and she said, “For the past few years, Lanxin Cosmetics has already established a stable business model and you’ve been in charge of operations. It’s not like you don’t know how uninterested I am in business management. Just make the decisions yourself.”

She absolutely trusted Wen Xinya and hence, she had been focusing all her energy on research.

Wen Xinya flicked her finger against her forehead and said helplessly, “You really don’t care, do you? Aren’t you afraid that I’d sell you out?”

Such a silly and innocent lass.

She had never met such a gullible girl like Du Ruo.

Du Ruo looked at her solemnly and asked, “Will you do that then?”

Wen Xinya gazed at her big and watery eyes. “No!”

Du Ruo was the first friend that she had made ever since she reunited with the Wen Family. Although Du Ruo was a year older than her, she had been treating her as a sister and definitely wouldn’t hurt her.

Du Ruo smiled and said, “That’s all I need to know. Knowing that you’re sincere about our friendship is more than enough.”

Wen Xinya had belittled Du Ruo. Du Ruo may be innocent, kindhearted and adorable, but it did not mean she was a dimwit. Instead, she could tell whether others were genuinely sincere to her or not. Of course... she was prideful and hence, did not have many friends who could earn her recognition.

Wen Xinya was at a loss for words. No wonder Du Ruo could be so fearless.
