He needed to ask Yu Tang about that infuriating mouth of hers...
Yu Chaoxian rested his chin on her neck and they looked at it together.
Yu Tang immediately tried to struggle, but her soft fingertips accidentally brushed against the old, raised scars on his body. Yu Chaoxian's voice became hoarse: "If you keep twisting, I'll pull your little hand down."
Noticing the sudden increase in the man's temperature behind her, Yu Tang indeed calmed down. Still the same as before, she dared to provoke him but not admit it, and Yu Chaoxian chuckled as he kissed the tip of her ear.
Yu Tang continued reading, and just as she was about to turn the page, a warm hand suddenly reached out from her lower abdomen, and the man's index finger pressed down on the page. After about ten seconds of stunned silence, Yu Chaoxian led her hand to the next page.
Downstairs, Mickey received a call from Chen Diao. As soon as the call connected, a loud voice on the other end shouted, "Is the boss with Miss Yu?"
Mickey glanced upstairs: "How did you know?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Diao exclaimed, "I was reporting to the boss that the order for that batch of goods from France was completed. As soon as I finished speaking, the boss didn't even give me a chance to say a word and hung up on me."
Upon hearing the complaints, Mickey hung up immediately; who wanted to listen to Chen Diao's nonsense?
A moment later, Mingming's phone rang. The numbers of all of them were known only to internal staff.
As soon as the call connected, Chen Diao's excited voice came from the other end: "Brother Ming, this is Chen Diao. Shall we get to know each other? I heard you were sniping against the boss before, awesome, bro. Tell me how it felt. Let me tell you, the boss's aim is insane..."
Mingming immediately became interested: "I could tell you all about it in three days and three nights, back in the rainforest of that island..."
Mickey thought, Chen Diao has finally found someone who shares his rambling. The King of Nonsense has finally found a kindred spirit. He silently took out his earphones and put them in, and the world instantly became quiet. After all, nobody wants to listen to two machine guns blaring incessantly at the same time.
7 PM.
Yu Tang watched as Yu Chaoxian changed into a suit, his tall and upright figure standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, the hand-tailored suit perfectly outlining the man's well-built physique.
He had just taken a shower; his damp black hair was casually combed back, carrying the coolness of the moisture.
He spent the entire afternoon lazily embracing her on the bed, his warm palms resting on her lower abdomen. Now, he stood impeccably dressed by the window, his cuffs buttoned tightly, concealing his muscles and scars beneath his clothes.
Suddenly separated from him, Yu Tang felt a sense of distance between them.
She shrank further under the covers.
Yu Chaoxian looked down at her. Before, at the Yu residence, he was wearing a suit and leaning against her door, and she was pretending to be asleep on the bed, secretly watching him.
The room suddenly became eerily quiet. Yu Tang felt a familiar sense of Yu Chaoxian's approaching figure. In fact, she had seen many tall, fit men, but their physiques were quite different from Yu Chaoxian's.
Yu Chaoxian had a strong sense of aggression and oppression.
Now, the man is silent, and when he's quiet, he always gives her the illusion of being gentle and gentlemanly. But she knows that his ruthlessness and wickedness are hidden in that smirking smile. Don't be fooled.
The silence had lasted too long, so she opened her eyes a little. The man leaned forward slightly, and his long, slender fingers landed beside her.
He picked up his phone and lighter.
"I'll be back at eleven. Wait for me to sleep together?" Yu Chaoxian originally planned to bring Yu Tang along, but she wasn't feeling well, so it was better for her to rest at home.
Yu Tang couldn't pretend to be asleep anymore. "Mmm." The next second, her head was rubbed.
There was a knock at the door; Mingming was already prepared.
Yu Chao looked into Yu Tang's dark, glistening eyes and said, "Give me a kiss."
Yu Tang knew someone was outside and didn't want to waste time with him, so she quickly kissed him on the cheek. Yu Chaoxian then pointed to the same page in the book: "I'll look at this when I get back."
Mickey stayed at the villa to wait for Yu Chaoxian to return.
On the way, Mingming handed the photos she had taken to the man in the back seat and reported to Yu Chaoxian: "Boss, we checked Xu Yu'an last night and found that he has been accompanied by a girl recently. She looks to be about the same age as Miss Yu."
Yu Chaoxian scoffed when he saw the photo, feeling more at ease doing business with someone who has weaknesses.
A restaurant in Zhonghuan.
This restaurant serves classic Cantonese cuisine and is renowned for its top-quality abalone, sea cucumber, shark fin, and handmade dim sum. The restaurant's floor-to-ceiling windows overlook Victoria Harbour.
Xu Yu'an and Yu Chaoxian were about the same age, but Xu Yu'an had a more refined and scholarly air about him than Yu Chaoxian.
Often, among the seemingly refined, there are many scoundrels.
Xu Yu'an was naturally unaware of Yu Chaoxian's evaluation of him, and Yu Chaoxian was equally oblivious. In Xu Yu'an's eyes, he was no different from a beast in human clothing.
Last night at the teahouse, Xu Yu'an saw Yu Chaoxian with a girl. The way Yu Chaoxian looked at the girl, well, as a man, he could see right through her.
The girl looked to be no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, with innocent eyes that held a naive desire for worldly pleasures. This showed that Yu Chaoxian was indeed a beast, not even sparing someone so young.
"Mr. Yu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Xu Yu'an smiled politely and extended his hand.
After a brief handshake, the two took their seats.
"The snacks here are quite good; the children seem to like them." Xu Yu'an said slowly, his gaze seemingly casually sweeping over the empty seat next to Yu Chaoxian. "I thought Mr. Yu would bring his students along, but it seems the students are not so keen on coming out with Mr. Yu."
His tone was gentle, but his words subtly revealed his suspicion that Yu Chaoxian probably hadn't truly won the girl's heart yet. Thinking of how demanding the little girl could be when she was being willful, a barely perceptible hint of schadenfreude flashed across Xu Yu'an's eyes.
But he maintained an impeccable gentlemanly demeanor, elegantly raising his hand to indicate, "Why don't you try this pastry first, Mr. Yu? See if it suits your taste."
"Chairman Xu took the time out of his busy schedule to meet me, could it be just to let me have some snacks?" Without Yu Tang by his side, Yu Chaoxian leaned back lazily in his chair, his expression arrogant and his tone nonchalant, "Or maybe he just wants me to listen to nonsense."
Xu Yu'an lightly tapped the table with his fingertip, and a waiter immediately and silently came forward to pour wine. He then smiled slightly: "Business deals are often made over drinks."
Yu Chaoxian swirled the glass of wine but didn't take a sip, saying casually, "That depends on what kind of business it is."
Seeing that Yu Chaoxian was not interested, Xu Yu'an stopped beating around the bush and directly revealed his trump card: "I want to borrow Yu's ship to transport a batch of air-launched missiles."
Yu Chaoxian's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a genuine interest finally flashed in his eyes.
Interesting. It's true that Eastern countries ban guns, but war has always been a close partner of politics.
Yu Chaoxian, on the other hand, was purely a businessman and didn't discuss politics. Of course, a businessman never does business at a loss.
"Oh?" He toyed with a metal lighter between his fingers, the crisp sound of it opening and closing particularly clear in the quiet private room. "There are more than just the Yu family as arms dealers, so why did Chairman Xu specifically come to me?"
“Mr. Yu has only been in charge of the Yu Group for three months, and you have acquired more than 50 competitors. Of these, 34 were quickly shut down by the Yu Group after the acquisition, and the remaining companies became subsidiaries of the Yu Group. Not only that, Mr. Yu also owns several transportation companies. So in the arms market, who can compete with the Yu Group?” Xu Yu’an paused and emphasized, “Most importantly, I only trust Mr. Yu.”
Yu Chaoxian lit a cigarette. Xu Yu'an had obviously investigated him, but the man didn't react to the praise. He had heard too many compliments. Instead, he looked out the window.
During the day, it's a cruise ship on the azure sea; at night, the neon lights on the opposite shore illuminate the scene. Yu Tang should really like this kind of restaurant. Thinking of Yu Tang, the man's lips curled into a smile. He guessed she hadn't listened to him and was engrossed in a book. He might even deliberately reveal the plot to her when he got back.
Yu Chaoxian raised his hand and glanced at the time.
Xu Yu'an had no idea what Yu Chaoxian was thinking, even his eyebrows and eyes softened, but it was clear that Yu Chaoxian was not in a serious mood.
Seeing this, Xu Yu'an cut straight to the point: "Mr. Yu, all I need is for that ship carrying missiles to be 'lost' in Badal Port. After that, the Yu family won't need to worry about it anymore. The port is a complex and chaotic place, and someone will naturally find the lost ship."
“Of course, Xinghai Group will definitely cover all the necessary expenses for Mr. Yu,” Xu Yu’an added.
"What benefit would I get?" Yu Chaoxian didn't care about the money from the transportation at all.
Xu Yu'an's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at him meaningfully: "What does Mr. Yu say?"
Yu Chaoxian then stubbed out his cigarette and slowly picked up the glass of wine that had remained untouched. “My aunt will be studying in Hong Kong for four years. During these four years, she cannot have any mishaps. I respect the elderly and care for the young. She is my only elder, and she is on your turf. You have to take good care of her.”
An elder? Xu Yu'an remained outwardly calm, but a playful sneer flickered in his heart. Was that girl a blood relative, or a mistress kept hidden away? The line was far too ambiguous.
But he wouldn't be foolish enough to ask further, so he readily agreed, raising his glass and clinking it together with a crisp sound: "No problem."
Regardless of what kind of "elder" the girl was, she was clearly a weakness exposed by Yu Chaoxian. If necessary, this could be used to break the deadlock.
If we can take this opportunity to share the transportation line with Yu Chaoxian, the future convenience will be immeasurable.
However… Xu Yu'an's mind flashed back to the horrifying rumors about Yu Chaoxian's methods of revenge. A madman's weaknesses were certainly tempting, but the price of provoking him could be unimaginable. He needed to carefully weigh this matter.
In Yu Chaoxian's view, the core of the deal has been settled, and today's conversation can end here.
The restaurant manager came over and carefully packed up the exquisite dim sum that Yu Chaoxian had pointed out: Dragon with Jade Pear Fragrance, Abalone Pastry, and Honey Glazed Char Siu.
As luck would have it, just as Yu Chaoxian turned to leave, the door to the private room was gently pushed open. Xu Yu'an's assistant stepped aside and led a girl in. The girl was wearing a simple dress, and her face still held a hint of sleepy languor.
Xu Yu'an reached out and grasped her slender wrist in his palm with remarkable ease, pulling her to his side. His tone was completely different from when they were negotiating earlier, so intimate and gentle: "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Yu Chaoxian stopped in his tracks, turned his gaze back, and landed on the girl who had suddenly appeared.
Xu Yu'an explained, "This is my cousin, she's here for summer vacation."
Cousin? Yu Chaoxian's eyebrows twitched almost imperceptibly. He even touched his cousin. He really is a scoundrel.
However, the person Xu Yu'an kept close by was naturally of extraordinary importance.
Xu Yi ate quietly to the side, without even glancing at Xu Yu'an.
In this delicate atmosphere, Yu Chaoxian suddenly turned to Xu Yu'an, a faint smile still playing on his lips, but his eyes were filled with ruthlessness.
“Mr. Xu,” Yu Chaoxian said in a low voice, pausing deliberately to make his point clear to Xu Yu’an, “You’d better keep a close eye on my cousin. If my aunt is doing well, she will naturally be doing well too. On the other hand, if anything happens to my aunt, she will probably suffer the same fate.”
This sentence completely dispelled all of Xu Yu'an's thoughts of using the girl to threaten Yu Chaoxian.
Xu Yi didn't hear their hushed conversation. She looked up and glanced at Yu Chaoxian. This man was really handsome, with exquisite and alluring features. Not only was his face as handsome as a celebrity, but his physique was also as good as a male model in a magazine. Moreover, he looked tall and handsome in a black suit. You could tell at a glance that Yu Chaoxian was a gentle and elegant gentleman.
But it's hard to say. You can't judge a book by its cover; Xu Yi learned that lesson the hard way. Good-looking people aren't all good people, like Xu Yu'an, a complete scoundrel.
Yu Chaoxian had already disappeared, but Xu Yi was still watching. Xu Yu'an turned her face away in dissatisfaction: "What's so interesting about such a scoundrel?"
Xu Yi slapped Xu Yu'an's hand away and coldly cursed, "Is there anyone more despicable than you? Do you expect me to look at your face instead of other people?"
Xu Yu'an wasn't annoyed at all by the scolding. He leaned over and bit her earlobe: "Why are you so angry, little sister? You should save your energy for slapping me in bed."
"You!" Xu Yidu withdrew the hand she was about to slap Xu Yu'an, disgusted that it would dirty her hands.
......
As night deepened outside the window, Yu Tang stared at the clear "admitted" status on the computer screen, her heart pounding heavily in her chest.
University of Fog City.
She succeeded. But the joy of success lasted only a second before being quickly swallowed up by an even greater anxiety.
She risked filling in the university's name as the mailing address for the acceptance letter. She absolutely couldn't let this document be sent back to the Yu residence and fall into Yu Chaoxian's hands; that would be tantamount to telling him directly that she had audaciously changed her application and given up Hong Kong University.
Looking back now, the only thing to be thankful for is that from the moment she submitted her application until now, she has perfectly played the role of compliance, insisting that she applied to Hong Kong University. Yu Chaoxian seems to have never doubted her.
Yu Chaoxian had previously said he would stay in Hong Kong for five days, and tomorrow would be the third day, but Yu Chaoxian still hadn't told her to pack her things and leave, making her increasingly anxious.
Right now, the biggest problem isn't secretly selling those luxury items on secondhand websites to save money. It's how to get rid of those ever-present eyes. She needs to find a way to get Yu Chao to remove the person following her 24/7. Otherwise, she has no way of retrieving that admission notice from the school without anyone noticing.
There seems to be only one way: be more obedient and docile than ever before, so that Yu Chaoxian will lower his guard against her.
Mickey was focused on what he was doing when he suddenly felt a gaze on him from above. He looked up and saw Yu Tang standing at the corner on the second floor.
Upon seeing Mickey, Yu Tang quickly ran downstairs.
"Mickey, are we going back to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow?"
When asked, Mickey shook his head and answered truthfully, "I don't know either, it depends on the boss's arrangements."
"I see." Yu Tang knew that Yu Chaoxian was unpredictable and moody, and asking rashly might offend him. He might immediately put on a stern face and coldly question, "What, you want to go back?" He might even add something worse, like, "Since you want to leave, then we can just stay here forever."
Anyway, it seems that Yu Chaoxian's greatest pleasure is going against her. Thinking about this, a layer of worry appeared on Yu Tang's face.
Mickey saw her expression and understood. He softened his voice and tried to suggest, "If Miss Yu wants to go back, she can tell the boss. I think if Miss Yu is willing to tell the boss her thoughts, the boss will be very happy and will most likely agree."
“How could he possibly listen to me?” Yu Tang blurted out almost without thinking. She was very clear about her own position. In her eyes, she was nothing more than a pet that Yu Chaoxian kept on a whim, to be teased when he was in a good mood. He demanded that she be absolutely obedient and well-behaved, and if she angered him, she didn’t know what kind of terrifying torture she would suffer.
“Miss Yu, it’s actually quite simple if you want the boss to listen to you.” Mickey brought the brewed Pu’er tea to Yu Tang’s side and pointed to the phone in Yu Tang’s hand. “Send the boss a message or make a call and ask him what time he’ll be back. Tell him you’ve brewed the Pu’er tea and are waiting for him.”
Mickey felt he had explained things clearly, but students always have their own interpretations.
Yu Tang thought for a while. She had done a lot of errands to serve Yu Chaoxian. It was just running errands for him, serving him tea and water. She was very good at this!
Thinking about it carefully, Mickey was right. During that time, she served him tea and water. Yu Chao didn't make things difficult for him much. She just didn't understand the matter of sending messages, but it didn't seem like there was any big problem with sending them. The point was that she was running errands for him and acting as his servant, so the messages didn't matter. At most, it was just a way of showing her flattery.
Yu Chaoxian received a call from Yu Tang and was already on his way back.
Yu Tang wanted to send a message, but she became nervous and uneasy whenever she spoke to Yu Chaoxian. As a result, her hand accidentally touched the dialed number, and she immediately threw her phone on the sofa.
She hurriedly picked it up again, hovering the tip above the red hang-up button, just as she was about to press it, when she heard the man's lazy voice: "Hmm?"
“I… I wanted to ask when you’re coming back? I just brewed some Pu’er tea, I… I haven’t gone to sleep yet… wait…” I just couldn’t bring myself to say the last part, “wait for him to come back.”
Yu Chaoxian raised an eyebrow. It had only been two and a half hours since they separated, and his aunt already knew to brew him Pu'er tea and wait for him. It seemed that keeping her by his side had indeed been effective.
"Are you waiting for me to come back?" Yu Chaoxian leaned back lazily in the back seat.
Mingming glanced at the rearview mirror; this was the first time he had ever seen his boss's lips curl up like that.
Yu Chaoxian closed his eyes in the back seat. There was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time, so he casually hummed in response.
Only then did the girl softly reply with an "Mmm".
When Yu Chao arrived home, he saw a well-behaved figure sitting on the sofa, wearing a light blue nightgown that was just knee-length, revealing her fair calves and beautifully shaped ankles.
The chandelier's glow made Yu Tang's already fair skin appear even whiter and more delicate, highlighting her rosy and glossy lips. Her obedient aunt, waiting for him to come home, made him feel restless and distracted.
Mingming instinctively wanted to follow, but Yu Chaoxian didn't even turn his head: "You and Mickey go back first, we'll talk about the rest tomorrow."
"Huh?" Mingming hadn't even reacted yet, and before she could even step through the door, Mickey had already grabbed her by the neck and dragged her away.
Seeing the pastries he was carrying, Yu Tang decided to greet him. Yu Chaoxian seemed to have been waiting for her, and he ruffled her hair. In Yu Chaoxian's memory, this was how Yu Tang had greeted Yu Yanting when he came home before.
Home, this is indeed his and Yu Tang's home.
The two sat opposite each other at the dining table, sharing a pot of Pu'er tea and the snacks that Yu Chaoxian had brought.
To everyone's surprise, the man remained silent for a long time, only glancing at her as she ate her snacks.
"Are you full?" Yu Chaoxian appeared behind her without her noticing.
Yu Tang swallowed a mouthful of Pu'er tea dryly. "I'm full."
The man exuded a dangerous aura, reminding Yu Tang of gunpowder and flames; if she didn't run, she would be burned to death. His chest pressed against her back, his breath rising and falling, hot and hard, no cage more secure than this embrace.
She was familiar with it, feared it, hated it, and yet...
Fortunately, Yu Chaoxian simply held her while watching TV on the sofa and did nothing else.
Yu Tang still had her old habit of lying on the sofa watching TV, and Yu Chao first put her feet on his lap. Yu Tang immediately sat up, but after being glared at by the man, she immediately lay back down and did a sit-up.
But fearing that Yu Chaoxian would grab her and punish her, she kicked him away and ran upstairs when he wasn't paying attention.
Two pale, white legs were dangling right in front of him.
As Yu Tang was about to lock the door when she returned to her room, a long leg squeezed in.
Yu Chaoxian found her adorable, looking at her as if she had provoked him and was now terrified.
That little mouth of hers is quite something; if I give her a kiss, I wonder what she'll do to me. But it doesn't matter, what else are mouths for if not for kissing?
He had to ask Yu Tang what else could that infuriating mouth be used for if not for kissing.
