My Unexpected CEO Wife

Chapter 788 788: Yang Kaize Embraces Chen Yi

Chen Xuan drove to his sister's flower shop, where Chen Yi was busy arranging flowers.

"Brother, you're here." Chen Yi greeted with a smile.

Chen Xuan smiled and nodded, "I'm here to talk to Linlang about something."

"Linlang is having a class upstairs," Chen Yi pointed upstairs.

"Okay, you carry on, I'll go up."

Chen Xuan walked upstairs, standing outside the tutoring classroom.

Seeing Chen Xuan approaching, Su Linlang stepped out of the classroom and whispered, "That boy is Yang Kaize."

Following Su Linlang's pointing direction, Chen Xuan could only see the profile of the boy.

It was his first time meeting Yang Kaize.

His looks weren't outstanding, but he wasn't unattractive either—a fairly decent appearance.

From his facial expression, he appeared quite kind.

As the saying goes, character is often revealed by one's face, and you can generally gauge someone's disposition this way.

Of course, this is just an initial judgment; you can't determine someone's goodness merely by appearance.

Only through interaction can a true conclusion be drawn.

"How are his academic achievements?" Chen Xuan queried.

Su Linlang openly praised, "Among all the college students attending the tutoring class, he's the one I have the highest hopes for."

"He learns quickly, is diligent and focused; there's absolutely no problem with him aiming for grad school."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly without saying more, planning to find a chance to interact with him later.

After class, introduced by Su Linlang, Chen Xuan formally met and conversed with Yang Kaize.

He seemed about 178cm tall, slightly shorter than Chen Xuan.

However, among boys, that's still pretty decent; his height is perfectly acceptable.

Standing next to Chen Yi, they seemed quite compatible, without looking mismatched.

"Xiao Yang, where's your hometown?" Chen Xuan asked with a chuckle.

Yang Kaize responded softly, "Beihe Luo City; my parents are genuine villagers, relying on farming for a living."

Chen Xuan nodded appreciatively, admiring Yang Kaize's honesty.

"Do you smoke?" Chen Xuan offered a cigarette to him.

Yang Kaize awkwardly waved his hand, "Thanks, I don't smoke."

Chen Xuan smiled at him and lit a cigarette for himself, "Do you have any specific plans for the future?"

"I want to complete my education first and try to enhance my qualifications so I can work at a better company in the future." Yang Kaize's demeanor was very earnest, "For someone like me without family background, the only way to change my fate is to continuously study and earn high-level degrees to gain opportunities."

"That's commendable." Chen Xuan nodded in approval, "Having such aspirations is praiseworthy."

"One cannot choose their birth, but fate is in one's own hands! Children from poor families are not lesser than those from wealthy ones."

"We can't compare birth, but we can compare knowledge!"

Yang Kaize laughed awkwardly, "I...can't compare, and wouldn't dare to; it's enough to do my best."

Su Linlang chuckled softly, "See, he's so sincere, never overreaching."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, his impression of Yang Kaize rising rapidly, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Faced with this sensitive question, Yang Kaize's expression became uneasy, "Back in freshman year, I dated someone, but soon ended it. Since then, I've been single."

"Can you tell me why you broke up?" Chen Xuan asked softly, taking a puff.

Yang Kaize lowered his head intensely, "Because my family's conditions aren't good; both my parents are from rural areas. She had better options, so she..."

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "Well, a girl who despises the poor and loves the rich—breaking up is a good thing, she wasn't worthy of your affection."

Yang Kaize shook his head gently, "I don't blame her, in fact, her choice wasn't wrong. Girls, you know, want to marry well, and following me, a poor guy, offers no future."

"Finding a rich heir, she could have a good life without effort. Even if I work harder, I'll still be working for others in the future."

Saying this, Yang Kaize showed a self-mocking smile, "Nothing much, I'll head off first."

"It's still early, why rush? Let me treat you to a meal so we can continue chatting." Chen Xuan invited with a smile.

"No, thank you." Yang Kaize seemed embarrassed, "I have to deliver food, too—earning some pocket money."

After saying that, he greeted Su Linlang and walked outside.

Su Linlang sighed lightly, "I think Yang Kaize is quite good, very responsible; don't you agree?"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "After talking with him, I do feel he's indeed very good."

The two headed downstairs.

Yang Kaize came down from the second floor, arriving at the flower shop, and involuntarily glanced at Chen Yi.

Meanwhile, Chen Yi was standing on a stool, arranging a flower pot.

Suddenly, she lost her footing and fell.

"Watch out!"

Yang Kaize shouted urgently and rushed forward, catching Chen Yi in his arms...
