He was always the one being driven, and now he was driving someone else?
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao You comfortably leaned back, enjoying having someone else do the driving.
Aside from needing improvement in cooking, he was obedient and manageable, and could even drive her car. Xiao You realized keeping him was a wise decision.
Since he had nowhere to go, she would provide food and lodging, without mentioning salary – wasn’t this essentially getting free labor? She wondered why she had almost turned away such a convenient helper.
Glancing at the woman beside him, seeing her casually resting, Yun Shaoye still couldn’t understand what was happening.
That morning he was about to get married, and now he was driving a car for a woman he’d known for less than a day, who seemed completely at ease.
Setting aside that they barely knew each other, he understood his appearance carried an unspoken dignity that made most people feel somewhat reserved. Yet the woman beside him seemed to ignore this entirely, treating him like an ordinary person.
Had his dignified appearance disappeared in less than a day?
Just as Yun Shaoye was pondering this, Xiao You suddenly asked, “Hey, what’s your name?”
Originally planning to send him away, she hadn’t cared about his name. But now that she was keeping him, she needed something to call him.
“Yun Shaoye, ‘Yun’ as in ‘people say’, ‘Shao’ as in ‘continuing the family legacy’, ‘Ye’…”
“Okay, I’m Guo Xiaoyo.”
Before Yun Shaoye could finish explaining, Xiaoyo had already introduced herself. He wasn’t even sure if Xiaoyo was her real name or a nickname.
“Xiaoyo?”
Unaware of his confusion, Xiaoyo casually said, “My friends all call me that. You can call me that too.
云Shaoyue wondered what kind of woman he had actually encountered?
※ ※ ※
Coming out of the bathroom, Yun Shaoyue wore the cheap clothes he had just bought from the night market, standing in the six-ping-sized living room with no sign of Xiaoyu.
Looking at the wall clock, it was already twelve o’clock. Normally at this time, he would still be in his study handling official business. But now he had just come out of a strange woman’s bathroom – how unpredictable life could be.
Seeing the kitchen light was dim, Yun Shaoyue instinctively walked toward the closed door on the left.
Xiaoyu, who was preparing to go to bed in her room, came to answer the door when she heard the knock. “What is it?”
“Where is my room?”
The total space here was not even the size of one room in the Yun family home. Yun Shaoyue did not have high expectations for his sleeping arrangements tonight.
Xiaoyu heard this and asked back, “My room? Did you think you were coming for a vacation?” “Do you think there are other rooms here?”
Did he have a problem with his eyes? How could he not see this was a one-room, one-living-room layout?
“There are no other rooms?” How could people live in such a small space?
Seeing he truly had no concept, Xiaoyu lazily pointed, “Look, see that sofa?” She pointed to the long sofa in the living room.
Yun Shaoyue saw the sofa but didn’t understand why she suddenly mentioned it.
Xiaoyu continued: “Your room.”
“What?” He suspected he had misheard.
“If you want to sleep on the floor, I don’t mind. The tiles are at least decent.”
“There are no other rooms?” This seemed impossible.
Although he hadn’t expected much, her answer was far from his original expectations.
“Which eye of yours saw other rooms?”
He hadn’t seen any, but… Yun Shaoyue still found it hard to believe.
“Is there nothing else?” Xiaoyu yawned and went back to her room to prepare for bed.
Staring blankly at the door she had closed, Yun Shaoyue still found today’s situation unbelievable.
Until he sat on the sofa, looking at the space of just a few pings, he finally believed he had truly left everything of the Yun family behind.
Not Yun Shaoyue, not the eldest son of the Yun family, and no longer the CEO of Yun Corporation – he was just a simple person, without responsibilities or burdens, no longer drowning in endless work.
In this small space, though the material conditions were not luxurious, this was the most relaxed day since he took over Yun Corporation, even if his physical expenditure was several times more than before.
Yun Shaoyue knew this was not just because he had shed his burdens, but also partly because of Xiaoyu.
Although she had not treated him specially, and was even commanding him around, he unexpectedly felt extremely comfortable.
Because except for family and friends, few people treated him like an ordinary person. But in front of her, he was neither the Yun family’s eldest son nor the CEO of Yun Corporation.
Thinking this, Yun Shaoyue couldn’t help but look back at the closed door again, feeling he had truly encountered a strange woman.
Xiao San, “Skipping Head CEO”
Chapter Three: “Distributing Flyers?!”
Taking the thick stack of flyers Xiaoyu handed over, Yun Shaoyue’s expression was unmistakably shocked.
“Don’t say I didn’t think of you, take this!” She handed him a baseball cap.
“What for?”
“To save your face! If the CEO of a big enterprise gets recognized while distributing flyers, it would be quite embarrassing.”
Yun Shaoyue’s surprise wasn’t about saving face. After all, who would believe a corporate CEO would be distributing flyers by the roadside? Unless they knew him.
He just hadn’t expected anyone would ask him to do such work?
Giving Xiaoyu a strange look, Yun Shaoyue obediently put on the cap without saying much.
Seeing him put on the cap without argument, Xiaoyu once again felt lucky she hadn’t pushed away such a good, obedient, and free worker.
“You stay here, I’ll go to the other side. Put one flyer in each mailbox, and also on vehicles by the roadside.”
“Vehicles by the roadside?”
Xiaoyu slipped a flyer under a car’s windshield wiper. “Like this.”
After explaining, she crossed the street to the other side and started distributing flyers.
The entire day, Yun Shaoyue followed her, shuttling through streets and alleys distributing flyers – for him, this was undoubtedly another novel experience.
Who would have thought that the responsible elder brother would stage a runaway bride on the eve of his wedding, without any prior warning, catching the two of them off guard? By the end of the day, they were exhausted like dogs, having been carefree for so long.
To quickly get rid of this situation, the two brothers decided to find their elder brother as soon as possible, otherwise getting tired was inevitable.
Thanks to Yun Shaoye’s help, Xiao You’s flyer distribution today was twice the usual amount, making her still beam with joy while sitting in the snack shop.
“Order whatever you want, it’s on me,” Xiao You said assertively.
Yun Shaoye raised an eyebrow, hearing a woman offer to treat him for the first time.
The dishes in the snack shop were naturally not as good as those in high-end restaurants, but he didn’t mind and casually ordered a chicken cutlet rice.
Xiao You’s eyes inadvertently caught the newspaper on the table, and she exclaimed, “Yun Shaoye, it’s you!”
Besides the large photo, most of the newspaper article was about the cancellation of the marriage between the Yun and Zhan families.
Yun Shaoye naturally recognized himself in the photo, which was within his expectations, so he was not surprised.
“Oh, is this the bride?” She noticed Zhan Yilin leaning next to Yun Shaoye in the photo.
“Mm,” he nodded indifferently.
Seeing his attitude, Xiao You’s curiosity was piqued.
Yesterday, she had seen Yun Shaoye as a nuisance and wanted to send him away, so she wasn’t interested in his reasons for running away from the wedding. Now the situation had changed, and her curiosity naturally arose.
