Chapter 966: Chapter 966: Our CEO Has Someone He Likes Now
"If you ask me, what is there to be unsatisfied with about our son? He just joined the company not long ago and became the special assistant to the CEO. The position may sound inconspicuous, but how much has he gained in insights!" said Mrs. Rui.
"Forget everything else, just talk about the investments over the years, weren’t they learned by being around your CEO? It’s already quite good." Mrs. Rui smiled broadly.
How could she not be happy?
Now, all the neighbors say that their son is the most successful.
Mrs. Rui agrees.
If her son could hurry up and get married, have a child—whether boy or girl—it would be perfect.
"By the way, speaking of your CEO, is he still a bachelor?" Mrs. Rui asked.
"Yes, he is." Rui Changhuai nodded casually and then thought of Li Xiaoyun.
But this matter is far from settled, it’s all just his speculation.
Therefore, it’s difficult to tell the family.
Though the family doesn’t have any direct relations within Zhao Family’s circle.
But about uncertain matters, Rui Changhuai has no habit of speaking up.
All of a sudden, Mrs. Rui said, "Hey, your CEO... is he..."
"What?" Rui Changhuai took a bite of rice and looked at his mom in confusion.
Is he what?
"Is he gay?" Mrs. Rui asked.
Rui Changhuai choked on his rice: "Cough, cough! Mom, why would you think that?"
"Hey, let me analyze it for you." continued Mrs. Rui, "Your CEO is now 37, still single. Now, that’s fine, I’m not discriminating against him for being an older single guy."
Rui Changhuai: "..."
Look at this description, yet it’s supposedly not discrimination?
"But your CEO, if he were a playboy and still wanted to live freely without settling down fast, not wanting to marry, although I don’t understand it, at least that’s a reasonable reason, isn’t it?" said Mrs. Rui.
"But your CEO hasn’t even had a girlfriend!" continued Mrs. Rui, "That is abnormal."
"And it’s not that he’s ugly, quite the opposite, he’s very handsome! His health seems fine too." added Mrs. Rui.
Rui Changhuai felt he needed to clarify about Zhao Dingli: "It’s not ’seems fine,’ his health is truly fine."
Mrs. Rui waved her hand, indicating not to mind such details.
"According to what you said, the man looks good, is in good health, comes from a good family. With so many fantastic qualities, yet no girlfriend, that’s abnormal!"
"Certainly, many girls must like him, and he interacts much, his family surely hasn’t stopped introducing him to people. Yet he still hasn’t had a girlfriend until now. Unless he prefers men!" Mrs. Rui said excitedly.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
"No... can’t be." Rui Changhuai thought of Li Xiaoyun; their CEO definitely can’t be gay.
Though at one time, he did have doubts.
But now, Rui Changhuai is certain.
"Why not?" Mrs. Rui was firm in her belief, "So many things together really point to this conclusion."
Suddenly, Mrs. Rui looked at Rui Changhuai in alarm.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
He felt his mom’s gaze was off.
"Changhuai, tell me the truth," Mrs. Rui suddenly turned all serious.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
"Mom, what’s wrong?" Rui Changhuai asked cautiously.
"Tell me, has your CEO ever made a move on you?" asked Mrs. Rui.
"Wha... what? Mom, what nonsense are you talking!" Rui Changhuai almost spat out his rice.
Unexpectedly, seeing Rui Changhuai’s reaction, Mrs. Rui only grew more suspicious.
"Changhuai, you wouldn’t... wouldn’t also like men, would you?" Mrs. Rui looked at Rui Changhuai in horror, seeming ready to cry.
Rui Changhuai felt utterly wronged: "What is this!"
"Otherwise, explain why you haven’t dated anyone yet? Always spending time with your CEO." Mrs. Rui said.
"You two handsome men, always together, neither in a relationship, what good can come from this?"
"I’m not discriminating against homosexuality, I support pursuing true love. Changhuai, if you really are, don’t hide it, talk to mom and we’ll discuss it properly, okay!" Mrs. Rui said.
Rui Changhuai thought, "Damn."
He wondered if his mom is using appeasement tactics?
Trying to relax his guard to get him to tell the truth and then figure out how to handle him?
Ah, spit!
What truth!
He doesn’t like men!
He’s not hiding his sexual orientation!
"Mom, what nonsense are you talking! I like girls, I like girls!" Rui Changhuai felt desperately wronged.
But Mrs. Rui already didn’t believe: "Changhuai, fine, even if you like men."
Rui Changhuai: "..."
Mom?
"Pah!" Mrs. Rui bit her tongue, "I misspoke. I meant to say, even if you like women. But what if your CEO isn’t?"
Finally, Papa Rui could no longer stand it: "Alright, alright, you tell me to stop overthinking, yet you’re doing exactly that! You see, you’ve scared Changhuai."
"Changhuai, think carefully, is there anything unusual about your CEO’s attitude towards you?" Mrs. Rui asked.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
"Mom, stop imagining things. I’m not dating because I’m too busy with work, always working overtime. Not only on weekdays, but holidays also have a lot of overtime, you know that." Rui Changhuai said helplessly.
"I’m so busy, where do I have time to meet girls, expand my social circle? Let alone date. Even if I meet a nice girl and want to date, but I’m so busy, have no time to date! The girl would probably get fed up and break up with me."
This statement reminded Mrs. Rui.
"Your CEO always makes you work overtime, you’re so busy, could it all be his scheme?" Mrs. Rui asked again.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
This explanation still doesn’t make sense?
"Is he intentionally giving you so much work, making you work overtime, leaving no time to meet girls and date? This way, you two are inseparable, you can only be with him." Mrs. Rui expanded her thoughts.
Rui Changhuai: "..."
"I still remember, there was a time your CEO made you work overtime particularly hard. You practically lived at the company!" Mrs. Rui’s memory is particularly good.
"Mom!" Rui Changhuai felt, it was no longer possible without mentioning Li Xiaoyun.
He silently apologized to Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun in his heart.
If I don’t reveal you, it’s me who will be doomed.
"Mom! Our CEO has someone he likes now." Rui Changhuai said.
