Chapter 562 He Yuzhu asks Lou Xiaoe for help

He Yuzhu scratched his head, a blush appeared on his face, and he smiled awkwardly. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Ma Xiuxiu came out from the inner room. Seeing this, Ma Xiuxiu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Sister Xiao'e, you know that Zhuzi doesn't talk much, so you can live here. Our house is spacious, and you will be comfortable living here."

Ma Xiuxiu felt that with Lou Xiaoe here, she had another person to chat with, but as for other things, Ma Xiuxiu didn't think too much about it.

Lou Xiao'e stood up, walked to Ma Xiuxiu, gently touched her head, and said with a smile: "Xiuxiu, thank you for your kindness. But I won't stay here for a few days before returning to Xianghe. After all, He Xiao is alone at home, and I, as a mother, am really worried." Her eyes revealed a trace of worry and concern, which was a mother's deep love for her child.

He Yuzhu opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but his eyes occasionally glanced at Ma Xiuxiu. After all, Ma Xiuxiu was still here, and he felt a little entangled, not knowing how to communicate with Lou Xiaoe in front of her. This scene made him feel a little awkward, as if there was an invisible barrier between them, and he swallowed back the words he wanted to say.

He Yuzhu didn't want Ma Xiuxiu to know about that incident. After all, Ma Xiuxiu didn't understand anything now, and He Yuzhu didn't want Ma Xiuxiu to know so many cruel things.

At this moment, Ma Xiuxiu seemed to have noticed He Yuzhu's embarrassment, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. She said softly: "Okay, I'll go make you some dinner."

The voice was as gentle as the spring breeze. She knew clearly that He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e had a lot to say and that she was indeed having a lot of inconveniences here. She didn't want to be an obstacle to their communication, so she took the initiative to retreat behind the scenes and create a relatively private space for them.

Lou Xiao'e was about to get up and help, she thought that since they were all acquaintances, it would be more fun to cook together. But Ma Xiuxiu smiled again, her smile was as bright as a blooming flower, and she said with a firm but polite tone: "Okay, Sister Xiao'e, I can do it alone." She didn't want Lou Xiao'e to intervene, just to give He Yuzhu and Lou Xiao'e more time to be alone.

After Ma Xiuxiu walked out with light steps, the room suddenly became much quieter. Lou Xiaoe turned around and looked at He Yuzhu tenderly, her eyes full of concern, and asked softly: "Zhuzi, what did you do in Xianghe?"

She was always thinking about He Yuzhu's trip to Xianghe, wondering what he experienced there and whether he encountered any difficulties.

He Yuzhu was actually unsure, he didn't know if that person had come out. So he forced a smile on his face, trying to make the atmosphere more relaxed, and said, "I went to relax, but I didn't expect to deal with some things."

He deliberately downplayed the matter, not wanting Lou Xiao'e to worry too much. Then, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, how are things going on here?" He was concerned about the progress of Lou Xiao'e's affairs and hoped that everything would go smoothly.

Lou Xiao'e nodded slightly, her eyes full of gratitude, and said sincerely: "Thank you very much this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know what He Xiao would have done."

She was touched when she thought of He Yuzhu's help during this period. If it weren't for He Yuzhu's silent support behind her, she really didn't know how to deal with those complicated things, let alone how to take good care of her children.

You have to know that Lou Xiao'e has been doing business for so many years, so naturally she has many enemies. If He Yuzhu hadn't been in Xianghe, she really wouldn't know what to do.

He Yuzhu listened, shook his head slightly, and said firmly: "I am also the child's father." In his heart, taking care of the child and helping Lou Xiao'e are his responsibilities. He will not shirk his obligations because of some external factors, he will support the child.

Lou Xiao'e raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a sweet smile, and looked at He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, I have almost finished the work here." There was a hint of relief in her tone. After this period of hard work, things finally had a good result.

He Yuzhu had already made plans in his mind, but he still looked at Lou Xiao'e sincerely, with a hint of expectation and eagerness in his eyes. He cleared his throat and said slowly: "Xiao'e, I want to trouble you with something today."

Lou Xiao'e raised her eyebrows slightly, looked He Yuzhu up and down, and said with a faint smile: "Zhuzi, why are we still so formal? If you have something to say, just say it directly. You are hiding it like this, which is really unlike your usual straightforward personality."

He Yuzhu scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. He approached Lou Xiaoe and said in a low voice, "I want you to take Ma Xiuxiu and the kids with you when you leave."

When Lou Xiao'e heard this, she showed a puzzled look on her face. She stared into He Yuzhu's eyes and said, "But they are still in school, and the courses in the school are very tight. If I take them away like this, will it delay the children's studies? This is not a trivial matter."

He Yuzhu was anxious, and was afraid that people passing by would hear their conversation. He looked around cautiously, shook his head slightly, and said to Lou Xiao'e: "Lou Xiao'e, I really can't tell you about this right now. But you have to believe me, it's very urgent. I will go to school to ask for leave for the children. These are just small matters, so don't worry about it."

Lou Xiao'e wanted to ask more questions. She was full of curiosity and didn't understand why He Yuzhu did this. But when she saw He Yuzhu's serious expression, which didn't seem like he was joking, she swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

Lou Xiao'e hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, good. I have plenty of space over there, so it will be no problem to settle them down when the time comes. How about you, will you come with me?"

He Yuzhu shook his head firmly again, his eyes revealing a hint of determination. He said, "I won't go. I have something to deal with." As for what it was, He Yuzhu kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal a single thing to Lou Xiaoe. He knew in his heart that the fewer people who knew about some things, the better, and he had to face and solve them alone.
