Yue Yiru was wearing a snow-white chiffon dress with her long hair down and exquisite makeup on her face. She looked elegant and posh, just like a princess.
When she saw that Shi Beiyu was back, she drooped her eyelids shyly and blushed, not daring to look at him.
Shi Beiyu narrowed his beautiful eyes and asked in a deep voice, “What are you guys doing here? It’s very late now.”
When the shy Yue Yiru heard that, her heart froze for a second.
However, Mother Shi looked at him furiously as she said, “What do you mean by that, Ah Yu? I am your mother! Even if you’ve moved out, I can still come over!”
Unhappy about it, Shi Beiyu said, “You should have at least given me a call first.”
Luckily, Yinyin did not come back with him today. Otherwise, even the Gods would not be able to help him!
Mother Shi said with a frown, “I’m here to see my son. Why do I have to call?”
Upon hearing that, Shi Beiyu did not want to say another word to her. Things had been tense recently because of what happened between Mu Siyin, so he did not want to argue with her anymore, not when Yue Yiru was around.
“It’s late. You guys should head back earlier and rest.”
However, Mother Shi replied, “Back where? We’ve been waiting for you to come back, and it’s so late now. We’ll stay over tonight.”
In an instant, the crease on Shi Beiyu’s forehead deepened. He looked at Mother Shi and said, “Tell me, then. What is it that you guys want to talk to me about?”
When Mother Shi heard that, she looked at Yue Yiru, who had her head slightly lowered, and said, “Tell him why you’re here today, Yiru.”
Yue Yiru let out a nervous smile. She looked at Shi Beiyu shyly and said in a gentle tone, “Well, Young Master Shi—”
Just as she spoke, Mother Shi became annoyed. “Why are you so polite, Yiru? Just call him Ah Yu.”
Yue Yiru became even shyer when she heard that.
Shi Beiyu frowned. “Only you guys call me “Ah Yu”. It’s inappropriate for Miss Yue to address me that way.”
Mother Shi was furious. “You little rascal!”
Yue Yiru, however, said wittily, “I think so too. Maybe I’ll just call you Senior Yu. It’s more appropriate for me to address you that way since you’re two years my senior.”
Shi Beiyu’s brows furrowed deeper. “Don’t call me senior. We’re not in school, so Young Master Shi is fine. Just tell me what’s the matter, Miss Yue.”
As soon as he said that, Yue Yiru’s face stiffened.
Despite that, her face slowly lit up at the thought of how Shi Beiyu treated other women. She nodded proudly in agreement. “Alright, Young Master Shi. Well, my father will be promoted as the Secretary of State in one month, so my grandpa would like to invite everyone to celebrate.”
Shi Beiyu was not surprised at all when Yue Yiru said that.
Currently, the Leng & Yue families had the most political power in their hands. Everyone had long expected that Yue Yiru’s father, Yue Xiang, would be promoted as the Secretary of State.
His promotion was to pave the way for Leng Jiuchen to run for the presidency.
After he gave it some thought, he nodded slightly. “Okay, I understand. It’s late. I’ll have Yan Ze send you guys home.”
When Shi Beiyu said that, Mother Shi was triggered. “Ah Yu! It’s already so late. What’s wrong with us staying over for one night?!”
Shi Beiyu replied calmly, “The news could’ve been delivered through a phone call, but you just have to cause so much trouble bringing Miss Yue over and have her wait for so long. Now you’re saying that you want to stay for a night? So, tell me. Did you bring her over to deliver the news or just to stay here for one night?”
Yue Yiru and Mother Shi instantly froze.
