Chapter 98

Although Ti Ling's kicks had controlled the strength, they lacked the rhythm and direction, causing the table skirt to shake. Now, not only Yueming felt her eagerness, but An Kejian also felt it.

An Kejian glanced at the table covered only with drinks and wine, raised an eyebrow and smiled, "How dare you! You should have ordered the dishes even if I hadn't arrived! Look how hungry Miss Ti Ling is! She can barely sit still."

Yueming suppressed the twitching of her lips, secretly cursing Ti Ling for her impatience. How could she be so straightforward? Although she had never pursued a man, she had read military books! How could one pursue a man so fiercely and directly? One had to know how to retreat in order to advance! Finally, she cursed herself for worrying too much. She had already pursued so many men. She guessed that Siamese men just liked such a fierce girl.

She smiled at An Kejian and said, "I don't have enough money with me, and I want to eat something expensive, so I have to wait for you, cousin, to come before I can order!"

An Kejian smiled and touched her head and said, "Okay, brother will buy it for you." After that, he snapped his fingers and asked the waiter to bring the menu.

He spent most of the meal chatting with Yueming, and treated Ti Ling neither coldly nor overly affectionately.

After dinner, he drove Yueming back to the company. As soon as they got in the car, he looked at her with a half-smile: "Little girl, you have something in Ti Ling's hands that you have to let me, your brother, sell your body."

Seeing that An Kejian had seen through the purpose of today's dinner, Yueming touched his nose and said innocently, "I'm so well behaved, how could she have any handle on me? It's just that Ti Ling said she likes you, so she gave me a chance to introduce her to you so that she can have more contact with you privately. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I found something to do."

An Kejian didn't believe that she was just bored and wanted to be a matchmaker. He joked, "Tell me the truth honestly. For the sake of our brother-sister relationship, I'll agree to her and help you smooth things over."

There was no need for An Kejian to sacrifice himself to this extent. Yueming quickly shook his head: "No, no, you just need to come out and have a meal with her from time to time."

"Oh!" An Kejian nodded in understanding: "So she really has something on you!"

These people are smarter than monkeys. If they accidentally let out a little bit of information, nothing will be hidden.

Yueming slumped his shoulders and explained helplessly, "I really wasn't helping her because she was forcing me. I just needed her to do me a small favor..."

An Kejian took out a cigarette and lit it, then handed the cigarette box to her, raised his chin and asked her if she wanted one.

Yueming looked around warily and asked suspiciously, "Did you hide a camera and take a picture of me smoking to send to Senior Brother Changsheng?"

Facing her suspicious gaze that hinted at a conspiracy, An Kejian casually blew out a puff of smoke and said, "You've hurt my brother's feelings by saying this! I'm sorry, Changsheng, but even though we've never met, we're blood relatives. Of course I'm partial to you, so why would I report you? I was your age too, so I know what young people's curiosity is. I don't think it's a big deal for you to be friends with Ti Ling. But you have to remember one thing: if she asks you to do something that can't be told to adults, you must not do it."

Yueming was stunned when he heard this and murmured, "Yes! I had forgotten that I have relatives here too."

An Kejian gently pinched her cheek and said softly, "So, if you've been wronged, just tell me. There's no need to look for outsiders. In Bangkok, your Yun Shao can help you solve half of your problems. If he can't solve the other half, you can tell me. I will help you even if it means killing someone or setting a fire. If your Yun Shao bullies you, don't endure it. I will take care of it for you."

Yueming's grievances suddenly welled up from the bottom of her heart, her eyes red as she said, "I don't like Bangkok, I want to go home. I don't have any friends here, I'm not used to the food, and even the movies I've seen here are the ones I've seen in Kunming. I want to go home, I miss my father and Senior Brother Changsheng." As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, and she choked up, "I'm so lonely at home alone, without even anyone to talk to. But he went to do something serious, and I can't blame him."

An Kejian took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears: "Then come to the company! The company has work that won't let you get bored."

Yueming pursed her lips and said with tears in her eyes, "But I don't know how to do anything. I'm afraid I'll do something wrong and cause losses to my family."

"No one is born with the talent for business; it's something you learn slowly. Charles will be back from Indonesia in a few days, and he'll be happy to see you in the company."

Yueming didn't agree on whether to go to the company or not. She just took An Kejian's handkerchief and wiped her tears. She sniffed and asked pitifully, "Cousin, my nose is about to run, but I don't have a handkerchief with me. Can I borrow yours? I'll buy you a new one."

An Kejian waved his hand at her: "I'm giving it to you, no need to return it."

Yueming covered her nose with a handkerchief and blew it vigorously. After a long breath, she said to An Kejian with determination, "I will go to the company from time to time in the future. If there are any important meetings in the company, I will also attend them."

Seeing that she had figured it out, An Kejian smiled and started the car: "That's right, as long as you can take over your family's business, the Tusi Mansion will be meaningless. Anyway, your Yun Shao is the youngest son, so the Tusi Mansion will not belong to him."

Yueming's birthday soon arrived, and Yunkai held a small banquet in the mansion to celebrate her birthday.

Aside from close friends, they didn't invite many guests, but quite a few had heard the news and rushed to offer their hospitality. Looking at the almost packed room, Yun Kai said to Yue Ming with an apologetic look, "I just wanted to give you a good birthday, but I didn't expect you to have to entertain so many guests."

Yueming smiled and comforted him, "It's okay, it's more fun with more people! Don't worry, I've been doing this kind of socializing since I was a child, it won't be tiring for me."

Yunkai was about to say a few words of apology when several guests called him away. Yueming was overwhelmed by the sight of a room full of strangers. Ti Ling and An Kejian hadn't arrived yet, and without Yunkai to introduce them, she had no idea who these people were. She simply gave up and retreated to the balcony of the second-floor study to smoke. After all, it was her birthday girl today, so she could do whatever she wanted.

I was enjoying myself while listening to the piano, smoking and admiring the moon, when I suddenly heard the lock of the study door click. I turned around and saw Luo Er coming in.

Luo Er smiled as soon as he saw her: "I saw you smoking downstairs. You can't hide in secret even if you are lazy."

Yueming turned back and continued to admire the moon: "If you want to hide, let's hide together. Don't talk too much."

Luo Er walked over to her and lit a cigarette: "Why are you so depressed on your birthday?"

Yue understood him at a glance: "What's there to be happy about being one year older?"

Luo Er asked with a smile, cigarette in his mouth, "How can I be happy? Go to a striptease with Ti Ling again? I forgot to ask you, what's the figure of that male dancer like?"

Yueming and Luo Er had dealt with each other in Kunming before, and their friendship was even better than that with Su Shiyue. Luo Er was also very tactful and never provoked Yueming, though she would still respond to his jokes.

Hearing him ask about the dancer's figure, Yueming thought for a moment and seriously commented, "Not bad, a good balance of fat and thin."

Was she going to buy some meat? And the perfect amount of fat and lean! Luo Er burst out laughing: "Yun Er would be furious if he heard that."

Yueming tilted his head and said with a half-smile, "You've taken Ah Yun to Alia's mansion on Khaosan Road so many times and I didn't get pissed off to death. How could he get pissed off to death just once? His health isn't even as good as Zhou Yu's. Zhou Yu was pissed off to death by Zhuge Liang three times!"

This was a life-or-death question, so Luo Er didn't dare answer it. He cursed Ti Ling for having a colander-like mouth and telling little A Yue everything.

He helplessly advised, "You have to think about Yun Er's reputation too. If word gets out that your fiancée is visiting an Arab brothel, both of you will be ruined. Have you heard the story of Kunchang Kunping? In Siam, the fate of a fickle woman is beheading.

Yueming exhaled a long puff of cigarette, smiled very restrainedly and said to him, "Have you read Water Margin? When we Chinese women meet men we don't like, we will drug them."

Luo Er......
