Chapter 106 Birthday Celebration
Han Shuo was too lazy to worry about this. Since he boarded Yu Yuan's broken ship, he would be a slave for the rest of his life. He should just take care of himself first.

Ji Xi kindly reminded Ruogu for his sake:

"Brother Yuan, Teacher Xiao's new variety show is broadcast live. You and sister-in-law will interact with other guests, so you have to pay more attention to the participating guests."

Chen Ruogu is essentially an amateur. She has not experienced the dirty things in the entertainment industry and does not know that some people dare to dig any trap in order to stand out from the circle.

Yu Yuan's eyes were deep, and he said in a bad tone: "Whoever dares to stretch out his claws, I will chop them off directly."

Ji Xi curled her lips and said, "It's safer to eliminate the hidden danger first. You have a close relationship with Teacher Xiao, so it's not too much to ask for a reasonable request."

Yu Yuan nodded slightly, and said calmly: "I will ask Xiao Jie for the list in advance. If there are any bad guests, I will directly refuse to cooperate."

He glanced at Han Shuo again and said calmly, "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I'll leave now."

Han Shuo said unhappily, "Then how will Assistant Liao arrange it?"

After all, Liao Dingmin is Yu Yuan's assistant, so it's not appropriate for Han Shuo to arrange a new position for him. Yu Yuan said calmly, "He is still my assistant. If remote work is inconvenient, he may need to run back and forth."

This job was not easy. Han Shuo immediately felt more balanced. After they watched Yu Yuan leave in a hurry, Ji Xi lazily leaned back on the sofa and said in a low voice, "That's good. We don't have to go home for the New Year."

Han Shuo put his hands in his pockets and sighed. He smiled bitterly and said, "That's good too. I don't have to worry about being urged to get married."

Although they are colleagues, they are usually busy with their own things and don't have many opportunities to meet and chat. Ji Xi thought of something and looked at him with scrutiny.

"After Fu Juan's company went bankrupt, I haven't heard anything from her. Did you help her privately?"

Han Shuo was as cunning as a monkey. How could he possibly admit it? He said calmly, "She has done so many wrong things. If I dare to help her behind her back, Brother Yuan will definitely skin me alive if he finds out. Don't talk nonsense."

Ji Xi was not easy to deal with. She stared at Han Shuo and said sinisterly:

"Fu Juan doesn't have much personal assets. She started her company with a mortgage loan. How did she get the money to deal with the bankruptcy?"

Han Shuo said innocently, "How would I know? She hasn't contacted me. Maybe her family has gathered the money for her. After all, she has been in the industry for so many years. She must have some friends that we don't know about."

Ji Xi mocked, "With her self-righteous personality, it's strange that she has any friends willing to help. Her parents are just ordinary state-owned enterprise employees. How much money can they raise for her? I think only a fool like you would be willing to contribute."

Han Shuo was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her. He raised his voice and said, "Don't try to wrongly accuse me. This matter has nothing to do with me. I have a lot of things to deal with. How can I have the time to meddle in other people's affairs? Believe it or not."

He pretended to be innocent. Ji Xi began to doubt her own judgment. She said sharply, "Don't raise your voice to me. The truth is not in the loudness of the voice. It is obvious that you are not firm in your position on Fu Juan. My suspicion is reasonable. Brother Yuan made her lose everything. She must be resentful. If she has the opportunity to turn things around, she will definitely make trouble again."

Han Shuo touched his nose guiltily and said in a low voice: "In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers. Fu Juan should not dare to run into Brother Yuan again."

Ji Xi frowned slightly, and she said firmly: "Fu Juan is not someone who will give up easily. I have a feeling that she will definitely make trouble again." Han Shuo was very uncomfortable with her words. He reflected on whether he had really done something wrong. At this point, he had no room for regret. Han Shuo could only deny it. He stood up and said: "I have to go to a meeting. I won't talk nonsense with you anymore. Just sit here for a while."

He didn't even give Ji Xi a chance to refuse, and walked out immediately. Ji Xi couldn't stop him even if he called out...

The reason why Yu Yuan was in such a hurry to go home was that he wanted to rush back to celebrate Huaixi's birthday. He called Ruogu before getting in the car and calculated the time so that he could get home before Huaixi finished his evening study.

Huaixi went to the cafeteria with her classmates for dinner and did not come back, which gave everyone plenty of time to decorate their homes.

Chi Zhengzheng loves to join in the fun. She called Xie Bin over and even bought decorations online with her own money.

He Hui and Xie Bin climbed up and down to make arrangements, Sister Yang and Zheng Hong played with balloons, and Chi Zhengzheng stood at the bottom with his hands on his waist to give orders.

"Brother Hui, please move a little to the left, and Xie Bin, please move a little to the middle. This ribbon won't look good if it's pasted crookedly."

Hengheng was playing with balloons and having a great time. Ruogu felt warm in her heart when she saw the backyard decorated so festively.

Huaixi's birthday was never celebrated in a big way in the mansion. She would just cook a bowl of longevity noodles and prepare some gifts, and then the day would pass quietly.

Coincidentally, Huaixi's birthday is the same as her original body, both are the thirteenth day of the winter month. Ruogu guessed that Huaixi had forgotten that it was her birthday today. The cake was ordered at noon and delivered in the afternoon. It is now quietly placed in the refrigerator.

Seeing that they had almost finished the decoration, Ruogu turned and went to the front hall. She guessed that Yu Yuan would be home soon. No matter how unpleasant their previous quarrel had been, it was good enough that he could come back to celebrate his daughter's birthday on her birthday.

Before Ruogu could even sit down, there was a knock on the door. She quickly stood up and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, she saw Yu Yuan standing at the door with wet hair.

Ruogu frowned slightly, and she scolded: "Why don't you take an umbrella when it rains? Look at how wet you are. How can you catch a cold?"

As she spoke, she pulled him into the house and found a dry towel to wipe his face. Yu Yuan's fatigue from the journey disappeared the moment he saw her. Seeing that there was no alienation in her eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I forgot to bring an umbrella. It's not raining heavily outside. I'm wearing a lot of clothes, so I won't catch a cold."

Ruogu hurriedly urged, "Go upstairs and take a shower and change into clean clothes. I'll make you some ginger soup to drive away the cold."

Yu Yuan wanted to reach out and hug Ruogu, but when he looked up, he saw Sister Yang coming over. She heard the couple's conversation and said with a smile, "Madam, you accompany the husband upstairs. I'll go make ginger soup."

Sister Yang was happy to see them get along well, so she spared no effort to create opportunities for them. Even if Ruogu didn't want to go, he wouldn't lose face in front of Sister Yang. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Huaixi will soon finish her evening self-study. We have to hurry up."

Although Yu Yuan wanted to spend time with his wife, he knew that time did not allow it. As soon as he went upstairs, he quickly got his clothes and took a shower, while Ruogu helped him pack his luggage.

Before Yu Yuan went to the bathroom, he said that except for the pink gift box which was a birthday present for his daughter, the rest of the things in the suitcase could be placed however they wanted.

He was frank and had no secrets in front of Ruogu, and Ruogu had no desire to explore. Apart from sorting the clothes out, she put all the other things on the sofa and let him clean them up himself later.
