Chapter 109 Miss An Ruo wants me to confess!

As Xia Anruo's show ended, the family's enthusiasm for watching the Spring Festival Gala seemed to have declined a lot.

Chu Ze was also bored watching the show, so he got up and went back to the bedroom, closed the door, and looked at Xia Anruo's chat box on WeChat. He couldn't help but call her.

Xia Anruo and her family had just finished watching her performance on Zhejiang TV's Spring Festival Gala. Wang Yandan and others were still praising her when they heard the WeChat call tone from Xia Anruo's cell phone on the coffee table.

Xia Anruo looked down and found that it was Chu Ze calling. For some reason, she felt inexplicably flustered and quickly picked up the phone and stood up.

"Whose call is it?" Wang Yandan asked casually.

"It's from the company." Xia Anruo pretended to be calm.

"Why is the company calling on New Year's Eve?" Xia Jianjun on the side also frowned.

"It should be a work matter. I'm going to answer a call first."

Xia Anruo's eyes wandered for a moment, and she quickly went into her room with her cell phone and locked the door.

"What kind of phone call is so mysterious that you have to hide in the room to answer it?" Zhou Ping felt that Xia Anruo's behavior was strange.

"Maybe there are some confidential matters at work that are not convenient for us to hear." Wang Yandan explained for her daughter.

After hiding in the room, Xia Anruo answered the phone.

"Hello, Chuze?"

"Why did you take so long to answer the phone? You weren't still busy on New Year's Eve, were you?" Chu Ze could be heard laughing.

"No, I'm at home. Is there anything wrong?" Xia Anruo asked.

"Well... nothing, I just happened to see your show on Zhejiang TV's Spring Festival Gala, and then I thought of giving you a call to tell you about it." Chu Ze said after a moment of hesitation.

"That's it?"

"Yes, that's it, isn't it?"

Xia Anruo blinked her eyes. Why had she never seen him call her for such a thing before?

"Then should I ask you about your thoughts after watching the movie?" Xia Anruo followed up his words and asked.

"The singing is as beautiful as ever." Chu Ze praised from the bottom of his heart.

"Is it just because you sing it well?" Xia Anruo asked back.

"The stage effect is also good." Chu Ze thought for a moment and said again.

"What else?" Xia Anruo asked again.

"Uh...I quite like this show."

"Gone?"

"That's all..." Chu Ze scratched his head. From Xia Anruo's tone, it seemed that she was not very satisfied with his answer.

"Oh, then hang up." Xia Anruo said lightly, pretending to hang up the phone.

Chu Ze finally thought of something and added at the right time: "Oh, I almost forgot, your outfit is also very beautiful. That blue dress suits you very well. It's very beautiful."

"Really?" Xia Anruo paused before hanging up the phone.

"It's true. It's truer than a thimble." Chu Ze replied affirmatively.

"Then you seem to be taking it quite seriously." Xia Anruo's lips curled up slightly, her tone revealing a little happiness that she could not conceal.

Chu Ze secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Damn, the remedy was successful, women are really hard to please.

He knew that he had made her angry before because he only paid attention to her body and not her singing skills. Why was it the other way around this time?

"How long can you rest when you go home this time?" Chu Ze took the initiative to change the subject.

"About two or three days." Xia Anruo thought about it.

"Is that all the time? You don't even stay home to spend the New Year with your family?" Chu Ze was a little surprised.

"What do you want to accompany me for? Are you going to stay at home and be forced to get married by them?" Xia Anruo couldn't help but complain when she heard that.

"Urging marriage?" Chu Ze was stunned.

"Yeah, it's annoying."

"Oh yes, you have indeed reached the age where you should be urged to get married." Chu Ze suddenly laughed.

He is fine now, after all, he hasn't graduated yet, but in his previous life he experienced the pain of his mother calling him every day to introduce him to a date, and meeting nine people in three days.

"What do you mean, are you saying I'm old?" Xia Anruo said in a bad tone. "Why do you say you're old? You're only three years older than me. I just think you can consider... ahem, having a relationship." Chu Ze coughed twice.

"I'm in a rising period of my career and I'm dating. Do you think it's too easy and I want to make things difficult for myself?" Xia Anruo rolled her eyes.

"Just talk secretly. You're not a popular idol anyway. There's no contract that says you can't date."

"Then who are you going to talk to? Some young hunk?" Xia Anruo felt that Chu Ze's words had ulterior motives, so she asked.

"Why are you looking for a young hunk? What use is there for him other than good looks?" Chu Ze advised immediately.

"Who should I look for then?"

"Don't you have your own criteria for choosing a partner?"

"No."

"Then I suggest you pay more attention to the inner qualities. It's enough to just look at the appearance. Find someone with talent, and don't find someone from your circle. You know, people in your circle spend more money than anyone else. It's better to find someone from outside the circle who can be reliable, and it's best to find someone who can help you in your career and complement each other." Chu Ze gave Xia Anruo advice in a tone that was for his own good.

At first glance, these words do sound like very reliable suggestions. But your description seems to be just short of slapping your own ID card on Xia Anruo's face...

Rich ladies, look at me, I live a good life!
"...Then would it be better if he was younger than me?" Xia Anruo was not stupid, of course she could understand what he meant, and couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, yes, yes." Chu Ze nodded repeatedly.

What a shame for you.

The abacus beads you used hit my face through the phone.

Xia Anruo finally understood that someone was testing her.

But what's the difference between your temptation and just hitting the ball straight away?
"Well, I'm sorry, I don't seem to know such an outstanding person." Xia Anruo replied indifferently, obviously not accepting the challenge.

"Impossible, you must know him." Chu Ze continued to test without giving up.

"I don't know him! If I knew such an outstanding person, I would pursue him on the spot." Xia Anruo said with certainty.

"Chasing? Zundu fake du?" Chu Ze was stunned.

"If that person wasn't so mean and arrogant and liked to act like a jerk." Xia Anruo added.

"..."

strike out!

out!

Chu Ze felt as if he was insulted, but he had no evidence.

However, these few waves of testing and pushing just now felt like a battle of geniuses' brains in love.

Miss An Ruo wants me to confess!

And the result just now is also obvious——

Today's victory is Xia Anruo's.

Having reached that point, the two stopped dwelling on the topic of love and started chatting about daily life. Before they knew it, time had passed and suddenly there was a burst of firecrackers all around them, and flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire city.

Chu Ze looked at the time on his phone and it was already twelve o'clock.

New Year’s Eve has passed and the New Year has arrived.

The call just hung there, and neither of them spoke in tacit understanding until a long time passed and the sound of firecrackers gradually faded.

Through the phone, Chu Ze could clearly hear Xia Anruo's weak breathing.

Chu Ze leaned against the windowsill, exhaled lightly, looked at the fireworks in the sky, and chuckled: "Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year."

Xia Anruo also responded with a chuckle.

"Please take care of me in the new year," Chu Ze added.

"That's the opposite. It's me who should ask you to take care of me, Mr. Chu." Xia Anruo said jokingly.

After saying this, the two did not say any more words. They just listened quietly to the sound of firecrackers outside the window, and there was no intention of hanging up the phone.

Getting rid of the old and welcoming the new is a new beginning.

I just hope their relationship can move to a new level.
