Master, I Need Charging - Chapter 41

Chapter 41: Let’s Go on a Blind Date Together

Yu Qinglan quickly stood between the father and daughter as she gently advised Shen Yao, “Don’t be angry. Xinran isn’t in a good mood today as there was an issue at the production team. She didn’t mean to talk back…”

Shen Xinran was not afraid of Shen Yao at all. She snorted coldly and walked past Yu Qinglan, heading straight for her room.

Shen Yao was furious. He pointed at Yu Qinglan and said, “Look at her! It’s all because of your teachings!”

“Yes, it’s all because of me. It’s all my fault…” Yu Qinglan assisted him to a seat and personally poured a cup of tea for him. She took it to Shen Yao and tried to patch things up. “Don’t be angry. You aren’t young anymore. Be careful about harming your body with your anger. Anything can be discussed amicably… I will go talk to her in a moment. Don’t be angry, alright?”

Shen Yao was still not appeased. He took the teacup from her, slamming it down instead of drinking it, causing the tea to spill a little. However, his tone was warmer. “Exactly what kind of enchanting medicine did that Chen kid feed Xinran!”

Yu Qinglan’s expression was a little rigid, and she could feel a little discomfort in her heart. After all, the kid that her husband spoke of, was her own biological son…

But she was in no position to fight back.

Her heart instantly cooled when she thought about the charges on the compensation contract.

She really didn’t think that Chen Yuheng would ignore their relationship as mother and son. She even thought… that Chen Yuheng was intentionally embarrassing her. If not, why would scratches on a layer of skin cost nearly 40 million yuan?!

“Since I am not usually home, you should keep a closer eye on her and not let this happen again! How could you sign such a contract? It’s enough that Xinran was messing around, but why did you join in as well?!” Shen Yao’s voice was heavily laced with dissatisfaction.

Originally, Shen Yao had disliked Chen Yuheng. If Chen Yuheng and Shen Xinran had an affinity with each other, that would still be fine. But it was clear that Chen Yuheng did not care much about Shen Xinran. No one would be able to feel at ease if their own daughter received such cold treatment!

Yu Qinglan understood the reason behind her husband’s anger. Thus, she remained silent. She couldn’t help but feel deeply worried about how this would end if things continued this way…

“Didn’t I tell you to help him find a girlfriend?” Shen Yao suddenly remembered as he asked with furrowed eyebrows, “Are there any that are suitable? It’s best for him to get married quickly so that Xinran will give up.”

Yu Qinglan forced out a smile. “I did introduce someone to him, but you know that Yuheng doesn’t really respond to me. That’s why I left a message with the Old Master, but I am not sure if they have met yet…”

“If one doesn’t work, introduce a few more,” Shen Yao informed coldly, “Don’t let him think that just because RK has risen to the top, us Shens will stick by him! Many technology companies like that close down every year! I will like to see how long he can keep this up!”

Listening to her husband’s curses left some bitterness in Yu Qinglan’s heart, her expression a little melancholic.

Noticing the look on Yu Qinglan’s face, Shen Yao guessed that he may have gone overboard. But he was really unbearably angry as he continued, “Next time, just don’t think about him! He is just a white-eyed wolf! All these years, when have we let him down? Look at him. Has he ever treated you like his mother? Hmph! Writing a contract for his own biological mother, he is truly gutsy! Fine! Next time, let’s not even try to get along!”

Hearing that her husband wanted to cut ties with her son, Yu Qinglan’s eyes turned red. “… It’s because I fell short. He must be holding some resentment towards me…”

Shen Yao let out a heavy sigh as he patted Yu Qinglan’s shoulders gently. “You are just too virtuous… Even if there was something you fell short of, you made it up to him long ago.”

Yu Qinglan lay in her husband’s embrace as her tears fall, no longer saying a word.

At the corner of the stairs, Shen Xinran had not really left. She stood in the shadows quietly and gloomily, like a poppy that was waiting to be released. A dangerous aura surrounded her.

Her nails were digging into her skin, yet she didn’t seem to feel it. Shen Xinran quietly turned around and walked into her room, closing the door.

She stood quietly by the window, thinking about something. After a long while, the corners of her lips raised into a dubious smile. She took out her phone and called her manager.

“That reality show that Ye Ye made plans for last time, go and ask for the recording times.”

“Eh? But we have already rejected it. I thought you always hated those reality shows that like to ask private gossipy questions?”

“Just let them know that I have a slot in my schedule and I can appear on the show. Arrange this quickly and get back to me.”

“Oh… Alright, I will contact the production team of the show.”

…

It was noon, which was time for their lunch.

Chen Yuheng had just finished a meeting and returned to the office. Idly tossing the document in his hand onto the table, he waved at Gu Anbao. “Ruan Ruan, accompany me to lunch.”

Gu Anbao stood up dubiously from the couch she was assigned to.

Chen Yuheng had never taken her out with him for lunch before. This wasn’t something strange since robots couldn’t eat… Of course, he wouldn’t take her along.

At the same time, Ace entered the room. He was panting as if he had run over. “Hoo… Just in time… Are we heading out for lunch? I want to come along as well!”

Even though his words were directed at Chen Yuheng, his eyes were glued to Gu Anbao.

Recently, it seemed as if he would come over and try to worm his way into being friends with Gu Anbao whenever he had the time. It was as if he was Ruan Ruan’s fanboy.

Chen Yuheng furrowed his eyebrows. “You can’t come.”

Ace refused to accept that. “Why not?!”

“I am going on a blind date. What’s the use of you following along?” Chen Yuheng replied impatiently as he held Gu Anbao’s hand and began to walk out.

Ace was stunned. Regaining his senses, he hurried over. “Then why are you taking Ruan Ruan along with you! I want to have lunch with Ruan Ruan!”

Chen Yuheng didn’t even turn his head back as he waved his hand and replied, “She is helping me to video record the date.”

Ace stood rooted to the ground…

Not just Ace, but the three secretaries outside were taken aback as well.

The devil king was going on a blind date?

… Was this a hint that the world was coming to an end?

Cheryl was the first to react. She rushed over to catch them up, and asked, “Should I postpone the meeting this afternoon?”

Chen Yuheng stopped and turned around. With furrowed eyebrows, he asked, “Why do we need to postpone it?”

Cheryl was startled. “This… Didn’t, didn’t you say that… you are going on a blind date?”

Chen Yuheng raised his eyebrow as he asked with an ineffable tone, “What does that have to do with the meeting in the afternoon?”

“…” So you are only taking an hour out for this blind date?

She suddenly felt so mentally tired…

They only had an hour for lunch. It would take at least a half-hour back and forth on the road. And wouldn’t it take more than ten minutes for dishes to be served? The rest of the time would only be enough to introduce their names and ages… Are you going for a blind date, or are you going to fight a war?

… Devil king, have you ever been on a blind date before?…

Cheryl stared at him quietly for a moment. Great, there are only 55 minutes left now.

“I understand. The meeting will begin on time.” So please leave quickly, and return back soon!

Chen Yuheng held onto the robot and left.

When the two figures had disappeared around the corner, Lu Lu rested her chin on her hands as she said with eyes full of longing, “The devil king held onto Ruan Ruan’s little hand again…” This pairing had become the best stimulant for her at work.

Cheryl looked at Lu Lu expressionlessly. “I think it’s because he finds Ruan Ruan too slow.”

“…” Lu Lu’s expression fell.

Cruel reality always leaves people at a loss.
