Chapter 41 is confirmed as evidence that he has feelings for Yu Tang.
“No,” Yu Tang’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She raised her face and looked directly into Yu Chaoxian’s eyes. “In my heart, family is someone who will never abandon each other. Just like when I was in great danger, you didn’t abandon me and risked your life to save me. So in the future, no matter what happens to you, I will never abandon you and will always stay by your side.”
"Also, we are family, and there is no such thing as family members being implicated." Her voice was weak and soft, but it carried an undeniable firmness.
Yu Chaoxian stared at her without saying a word, his eyes filled with complex emotions. He reached out and stroked her hair, neatly tucking a few stray strands behind her ear. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Why say all this? You just need to remember one thing: stay obediently by my side, and I can give you anything you want."
For Yu Tang, who is greedy for food, playful, vain, and timid, this must be the biggest temptation, right?
Yu Tang was raised by Yu Yanting from a young age and never suffered any hardship. Yet she possessed a rare and strong character. What she wanted, Yu Chaoxian might not be able to give her, and even if he did, she might not want it. She was also much stronger than Yu Chaoxian thought.
When Yu Tang witnessed the successive departures of her closest loved ones, she cherished the family ties she had. However, when she realized that she could not grasp what she wanted no matter what she did, her ruthlessness was something Yu Chaoxian could never bear.
Therefore, Yu Tang categorized Yu Chaoxian's words as expressions of concern from an elder.
Seeing Yu Tang's obedient nature, Yu Chaoxian stroked the back of her neck with a good mood, as if comforting a pet. Whether he was raising Yu Tang with the mindset of raising a pet, Yu Chaoxian was not yet sure, but he certainly regarded Yu Tang as his possession.
Ivan, in the driver's seat, was confused. Was Yu Tang the boss's aunt or his woman? He had been assigned by Brother Diao to escort the boss and his aunt, but the way the aunt and niece interacted was too strange, especially the boss's eyes, which almost never left his aunt.
That's not the look a junior should give an elder. It's more like a man looking at a woman.
Naked, possessive, surging, and—determined to win.
Yu Tang never felt that the street leading home was very long. It was only five o'clock in the morning, and there was no one on the road. After getting off the helicopter, Yu Tang looked at the road, which was less than a hundred meters long, and her heart suddenly started racing. Would she be able to get home safely? Would a passing car kidnap her?
Suddenly, her arm felt warm as Yu Chaoxian naturally grasped her wrist. The man's hand was so large that it held most of her hand as well. The familiar warmth and strength instantly relaxed Yu Tang's tense shoulders.
On the way home, Yu Tang remained vigilant. Seeing the man beside her walking at a leisurely pace, his figure always close, she gradually calmed down. As long as Yu Chaoxian was here, she was safe.
It was almost dawn when Yu Tang got home, so it was certain that she would ask the school for leave.
The Filipino maid had already prepared breakfast and was about to go upstairs to call Yu Tang when Yu Chaoxian appeared at the door with Yu Tang.
Yu Chaoxian asked the nanny to replace the stimulating coffee prepared for Yu Tang with milk. Yu Tang didn't have much of an appetite and only drank the milk. Yu Chaoxian didn't force her to eat, saying she could eat after she woke up, otherwise she would have indigestion if she ate while sleeping.
Yu Chaoxian's phone rang. He reached out and ruffled Yu Tang's hair. "Go to sleep. When you wake up, I'll take you to a tea restaurant."
She saw Yu Chaoxian turn around, light a cigarette, and go to the balcony to answer a phone call, then she carried her pile of dolls upstairs. Seeing the manta ray's smiling face, she smiled too, but her mood quickly plummeted. It was as if only the dolls wouldn't hurt people; the men outside were disgusting and terrifying, and even the police seemed hateful.
Apart from Yu Chaoxian.
As soon as Yu Chaoxian answered the phone, he was met with a question from Doug, the governor of Maldives.
"Mr. Yu, what you did last night is no different from what terrorists do! You even used an armed helicopter, and your men killed everyone at the auction, including one of our police officers! Don't you owe me an explanation, Mr. Yu?"
"That's strange. How come the police were at the scene of human trafficking?" Yu Chaoxian clicked his tongue in feigned confusion. "Besides, why aren't you arresting people and instead coming to question me? What does that have to do with me?"
Doug was speechless for a moment, but he quickly said, "Besides you, who else has such great power to deploy military attack helicopters in Tai City? Clinton and the president have a very close relationship. Clinton is now a pile of minced meat. How am I supposed to explain this to the president? I can usually turn a blind eye to what you do, but the consequences of this incident today far exceed your expectations. Killing Clinton is like playing with fire. The Maldives will definitely investigate to the end!"
“The governor should speak with evidence. I’m just an honest businessman,” Yu Chaoxian exhaled a puff of smoke, giving him a heads-up. “Speaking of terrorists, I remember there’s an Indian gang that’s been rampant in your area for quite some time.”
Doug understood immediately, but his tone was unfriendly: "You mean, you want me to frame the Indian underworld for this? They're not to be trifled with."
"What, you don't want to?" Yu Chaoxian was too lazy to waste time talking nonsense with him. He stubbed out his cigarette. "Mr. Doug, do you really think you can run for governor this time on your own? With the money you burn in the election, I can still elect a more obedient one."
When the election was mentioned, Doug's momentum immediately weakened.
The Indian underworld is not to be trifled with, but Yu Chaoxian is even more so. Doug had something to ask for, so he had no choice but to compromise: "I know how to handle this."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Chaoxian, who was leaning against the window, looked up and saw a slender figure upstairs returning to the bedroom.
Yu Tang took another shower before lying back in bed to rest. But Yu Tang dared not close her eyes; as soon as she did, she heard the gunshots and Clinton's sinister laugh, and the lingering fear still occupied her mind.
The phone that was charging on the table finally had enough power to turn on. Yu Tang opened the phone and received a message from Mo Fei, asking why she hadn't come to school.
Yu Tang thought for a moment, not wanting Mo Fei to worry about her, so she didn't mention the danger she encountered that night, only saying that she wasn't feeling well and had asked for a day off.
After replying to the message, she lay absentmindedly on the bed, lost in thought. She had gone downstairs to get water and overheard Yu Chaoxian's phone call. Although she only caught bits and pieces, she could piece together the gist of it. It seemed Yu Chaoxian had gotten himself into some serious trouble trying to save her.
Just a wall away, Yu Chaoxian, still damp from his shower and shirtless except for a pair of casual pants, turned and went to Yu Tang's bedroom after hearing footsteps next door.
I saw Yu Tang hugging a large shark, her gaze wandering. How could she sleep when she was staring at me with those big, darting eyes?
Before she could speak, he went inside.
The steam and scent of shower gel emanating from Yu Chaoxian surrounded Yu Tang. He wasn't wearing a shirt, and for some reason, Yu Tang felt a little embarrassed to look at him.
She quietly shrank back under the covers, covering most of her eyes, and her gaze drifted down to the hideous scar above his chest.
It looked like a bullet wound, and Yu Tang looked up at the bullet necklace around his neck.
"Didn't you want some water?" Yu Chao first placed the water on her bedside table, then pulled the blanket down a little more for her. "Trying to suffocate?"
Yu Tang lowered her eyes, avoiding looking at Yu Chaoxian, who was shirtless.
Yu Chaoxian stared at the doll she was holding in her arms, feeling a bit annoyed, and wanted to take it away from her.
Yu Tang grabbed his hand, stopping Yu Chaoxian's actions, feeling safer holding the shark.
She picked up her water and took a sip, then asked worriedly, "Will something happen? That phone call..."
He sat on the chair by the bed, letting Yu Tang hold his wrist. "What are you worrying about? Go to sleep."
After drinking the water, Yu Tang lay back on the bed, closed her eyes, and her mind wandered. Because Yu Chaoxian was by her side, she eventually fell asleep peacefully.
The man's gaze fell on Yu Tang. After looking at her for a while, he pulled the blanket up over her shoulders.
Yu Chaoxian's image was imprinted on the girl's bed.
He stood by the bed, gazing at Yu Tang's sleeping face for a long, long time.
After a long time, Yu Chaoxian finally confirmed a fact that had puzzled him for a long time: the anxious search last night that nearly caused his heart to stop, the ecstatic joy and lingering fear after finding it.
And the wild pounding of my heart when I saw Yu Tang.
It was evidence that he was attracted to Yu Tang.
Yu Tang slept until 2 p.m. She slowly got up and sat on the edge of the bed, but didn't get out of bed to put on her shoes for a long time, as if she hadn't fully woken up yet.
The noise at the door made the girl look up to look for it.
Yu Chaoxian leaned against the door, his hair half-dry and still dripping wet, clearly having just come out of the bathroom, exuding a crisp, clean aura from a cold shower. A few wet strands of hair slipped down his forehead, partially obscuring the sharpness of his eyebrows, giving him a handsome yet gentle appearance when he looked intently at her.
Why is he taking a shower again? She remembered seeing him take a shower before going to bed.
Yu Chaoxian walked closer, waved his hand, and threw the towel on Yu Tang's head. "If you want to look, then look openly. Get dressed and go eat."
She can't be allowed to sleep any longer, otherwise she won't be able to sleep at night.
Unexpectedly, Yu Tang was pushed down by a half-wet towel and lay back on the bed, looking as if she had been knocked unconscious. "I can't get up."
Yu Chaoxian laughed at her shamelessness: "What do you mean, are you trying to scam me, Yu Tang?"
A scorching heat, carrying moisture, enveloped Yu Tang's legs, which were dangling by the bedside, and she was trapped between two strong, long legs. There was a significant difference between someone over 1.9 meters tall and someone over 1.8 meters tall; a tremendous sense of oppression washed over her, and Yu Tang suddenly felt a panic that if she didn't get up now, she really wouldn't be able to get up at all.
Not daring to stay in bed any longer, she suddenly did a sit-up, but just then the man leaned down and pressed down on her, and Yu Tang's teeth collided with Yu Chaoxian's lower lip.
No matter how powerful Yu Chaoxian was, his words were soft; no matter how timid Yu Tang was, her teeth were hard. In the brief, soft touch, Yu Tang's teeth chipped Yu Chaoxian's lip, and a little warm liquid flowed down. She subconsciously stuck out her tongue and licked it, licking the bead of blood from Yu Chaoxian's lip into her mouth.
Realizing the trouble she had caused, Yu Tang dared not look at Yu Chaoxian again, but her furtive glances revealed a faint smile playing on his lips. This man was known for hiding malice in his smiles, and Yu Tang feared that if she stayed another second, Yu Chaoxian would bite her neck in revenge.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bite you!" Yu Tang slid out of the blanket, rushed into the bathroom without looking back, and quickly closed the door, escaping a disaster.
Yu Chaoxian looked towards the bathroom and licked the blood from the corner of his mouth.
