Yuan Xudong hesitated, thinking of using the excuse of work to decline her request.
But before he could say anything, Uncle Fu, beaming with joy, stuck his head out and said, "Young Master Xudong, you should go. Work is already done, and Miss Xiaoxi has asked for your company. There might be something important."
Yuan Xudong's temples throbbed with irritation. This meddlesome man...
Seeing Uncle Fu lightened the atmosphere, Ye Xiaoxi relaxed and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Fu, how have you been lately?"
"Thanks to Miss's blessings, I've been quite well," Uncle Fu replied.
He had decided to let go of any concerns about Yuan Xudong marrying Ye Xiaoxi.
Strengthening their relationship would have its benefits, especially since Miss Xiaoxi was a genuinely kind-hearted person.
Seeing them chat happily, Yuan Xudong coldly remarked, "Aren't there matters to attend to? Why waste time here?"
