Chapter 10: The Domineering Boss's Self-cultivation

Pei Lang put on his apron skillfully and washed the vegetables. Yan Han had a light diet, so he planned to make pork rib soup for him.

His movements were skillful, graceful and methodical, and he looked like a very good cook. But only he knew how much torment he was feeling inside.

It was strange that Yan Han was actually interested in watching him cook, like a gangster boss supervising the workers. Pei Lang felt like a younger brother destroying corpses, and the so-called corpses were the vegetables under the knife at this time.

"Are you seducing me?" Yan Han suddenly asked, and Pei Lang was startled. The lotus root he was cutting slipped and he almost cut his finger.

I was just cooking today. How could this big guy have the illusion that I was not seducing him, but trying to please him? There is a fundamental difference. Fearing that Yan Han would say something shocking again, Pei Lang had to give up cutting vegetables. He turned around, smiling. "Mr. Yan, do you have any misunderstandings about me? I don't seduce everyone."

It would have been fine if he hadn't explained it, but once he did, Yan Han got angry. "Why, in your eyes, I'm not even as good as Yan Xiuyuan?"

The subtext is that you used every means to seduce Yan Xiuyuan, and I am not worthy of your seduction?

Where does this desire to win come from?

Pei Lang guessed that the uncle and nephew were not getting along, and now it seems to be true. "Don't think too much, Mr. Yan. Yan Xiuyuan is certainly not as good as you. At least, among all the people I have met since I came to this world, you are the best." Anyway, Pei Lang couldn't understand the brain circuit of this big man. If he wanted to curry favor with someone, he should say more good things. It doesn't cost money to say good things, right? "A powerful person like Mr. Yan must have investigated my background when signing the contract with me. I am not a good person, and there is no one around me who treats me sincerely. Everyone laughs at me and looks down on me. Mr. Yan is willing to take me in and give me food. For me, this is already a great favor."

Pei Lang was telling half the truth and half acting, with tears in his eyes. He blinked and glanced at Yan Han, then turned around silently to cut vegetables. The chopping sound echoed in the kitchen. The two were speechless for a moment. Pei Lang's frail figure was visible under the incandescent light. The kitchen was brightly lit, but it exuded a silent sadness.

This tone, demeanor, lonely back, Pei Lang perfectly used the environment to create a sad and pitiful atmosphere. If Yan Han hadn't seen Pei Lang cheating, he would probably really believe what he said. "It's not seduction, it's flattery?"

Yan Han's tone remained unchanged. The acting skills he put on the spot were useless to Yan Han. Pei Lang could only sniff and smile, not intending to act anymore. He turned around and saw the little man on Yan Han's shoulder holding a book and reading it seriously, with a stiff smile on his face.

"The Self-improvement Handbook of the Overlord"? What the hell does Mr. Yan usually read?

Pei Lang was stunned, curiosity took over his reason, and he walked quietly to Yan Han's side, ignoring Yan Han's cold and resisting eyes, and his eyes fell on the book that the villain was reading.

Chapter 31 of the Domineering Boss's Required Course: How to distinguish between seduction and flattery? First of all, we must understand that both have a purpose, and use seduction or flattery to achieve some malicious purpose...

Pei Lang's eyes went dark as he read. There was actually such a book in the world, and Yan Han not only read it, but also remembered it in his mind. He was still pondering it carefully in his heart after seeing it. He skipped the long discussion in the middle and went straight to the end, but before he could read it clearly, the villain put away the book.

Yan Han tilted his head alertly. "What are you looking at?"

"Read a book." Pei Lang was a little disappointed because he didn't see the rest of the content. His mouth was faster than his brain and he blurted it out.

Yan Han's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and Pei Lang hurriedly explained. "I'm reading Mr. Yan. Mr. Yan is like a book, a book that has been treasured but never read. People only see your collection value and your appearance full of stories, but they can't really explore your heart. I am a lucky person. I was lucky enough to read one or two pages, and I couldn't help wanting to know more. The book is very exciting and interesting, and it makes people more fascinated the more they read."

"Heh~ You're very good at flattering me." Yan Han remained calm on the surface, but the little man on his shoulder had already taken out a large mirror from somewhere, stood in front of the mirror, turned around and carefully observed himself to see if he was really like what Pei Lang said. "Tell me, what is your purpose for waiting for me today?"

"Mr. Yan, why don't we eat first?" Speaking of eating, Pei Lang just remembered that he hadn't finished cutting the vegetables yet. "Sorry, I'll start cooking right away."

"No, I don't want to eat."

"Okay." How could Pei Lang's little tricks escape Yan Han's eyes, not to mention that he had never thought of escaping. Pei Lang took a deep breath and then exhaled. "Mr. Yan, you are Yan Xiuyuan's uncle, his elder, can you control him?"

"No, he is a rebellious son."

"Ah?" He didn't expect this answer. Seeing Yan Han's serious expression, Pei Lang was half-believing and half-doubting. "Is that so? Then would he dare to be rude to you?"

"I dare you, he is a rebellious son."

Pei Lang: “???” Aren’t you an elder? How dare Yan Xiuyuan, who is so arrogant, be rude to you and still refuse to obey? Come to think of it, we are all adults after all. It is definitely unacceptable to be disciplined by a young uncle who is a few years older than us.

Then can I still hug this thigh?

Pei Lang was deeply suspicious. Just as Pei Lang was daydreaming, Yan Han drove the wheelchair to the sofa in the living room, and Pei Lang followed closely. "If you want me to make the decision for you and let you marry him, I advise you to give up this idea. Not to mention what you did before, we are legally husband and wife, and my father inserted this marriage. If you want to marry Yan Xiuyuan, you can't pass these two tests."

"You misunderstood. I don't like him." Pei Lang sat down on the sofa opposite Yan Han and explained. "I was just gambled before, wanting to beat Pei Ziqing once, but then I gave up because it was meaningless. I really don't like Yan Xiuyuan, and he's not a good person. I... scolded him today, and he seemed very angry. You see, we are in a contractual relationship. If something happens to me, your father will definitely know about it. If there is a commotion and our relationship is made public, it will not be good for your reputation, right?"

Yan Han didn't want to marry Pei Lang, so she didn't hold a wedding ceremony, and didn't even tell her family. Besides the two of them, probably only their father knew about it, and the servants at home didn't know about their relationship. If it was made public because of Yan Xiuyuan, wouldn't it be troublesome to divorce in the future?

Getting married without anyone noticing, and then getting divorced without anyone noticing, that's what Yan Han wanted. These few years were just to please his father. Five years later, when his leg injury healed, his father would be older and couldn't bear the hassle of getting married to make him happy and having no effect. Even if he got divorced, he wouldn't stop him.

Yan Xiuyuan, this rebellious son!

Yan Han cursed fiercely in his heart, but his expression was calm, as if he didn't take it to heart at all. "Just stay in the villa obediently, Yan Xiuyuan won't be able to find you."

After saying this, he took the elevator upstairs.

Although Yan Han did not make it clear, Pei Lang understood the underlying message. As long as he did not mess up, Yan Han could guarantee his safety. "Yan Han is a good person who can get along with others."

Yan Han did not return to his room, but went to the study, turned on his computer to work, but his mind was full of Pei Lang. There was nothing else to think about, so he kept thinking about the compliments Pei Lang had said about him. Was he really as good as he said?

Although his words were meant to flatter, Pei Lang's eyes flickered as he spoke, his expression was sincere, and his tone was like reading a literary prose, flowing smoothly and comfortably.

In Pei Lang's eyes, he seemed different. His eyes were different from the way others looked at him. Although it was strange, he didn't hate it. So, when Pei Lang begged for protection in a roundabout way, he agreed for the first time.

If it were anyone else, speaking to him in such a semi-threatening tone would only lead to a worse outcome.

However, there was one thing he couldn't understand. It was as if Pei Lang had become a different person. He could act and say things that others liked to hear. He was completely different from what he knew. Was it because his acting skills were so good that he fooled everyone? Was this the real him now?

So, what is the purpose? What is the point of ruining your own reputation?

That night, Yan Han thought for a long time, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of anything. Pei Lang went back to his room, checked his phone for a while, and fell asleep.

After offending Yan Xiuyuan, Pei Lang really stayed at the villa. After all, there was food, drink and free internet, so why not. Moreover, the villa was very large, with a gym, swimming pool, garden, etc., almost all the entertainment facilities outside, just like a "small world". After accidentally discovering the gym, Pei Lang asked Yan Han for permission and spent several hours in the gym every day. He worked out and practiced martial arts because he needed to achieve the desired effect urgently. He was not afraid of hardship or fatigue. This body had no foundation, so he was covered with bruises.

After falling and getting hurt again and again, my body and soul were finally able to coordinate and complete the movements. The movements were perfect, but I still lacked strength, and there was still a big gap between me and that world. I was able to complete these movements for a while, and I was not so strong when acting. If I want to be like myself in that world, I need to spend more time.

During this period, he also passed the part-time job interview. The interviewer helped him register a creator account, after which he could release songs.

This website is dedicated to people's mental health. It not only has a variety of healing articles, pictures, songs, live audio, but also some psychological knowledge and online answers from psychologists, so that everyone can better understand their own mental health and face mental illness. The website has been liked by many people since its rise, but no one knows who is behind the website.

These days, Yan Xiuyuan wanted to teach Pei Lang a lesson. With all the new and old hatreds added up, he wanted to destroy Pei Lang, but he couldn't find him. After hanging up the phone that day, it was as if he had disappeared from the world.

He is a person who is blacklisted all over the Internet. Any slight movement will be posted online and he will be cyber-bullied. Recently, there is not even a spark of anger on the Internet.

He had been holding back his anger and had no way to vent it, so he became quite agitated. He was originally quite gentle and patient towards Pei Ziqing, and would occasionally have a bad temper, but he would quickly suppress it.

Pei Lang was either dead or hidden by someone. The only people he couldn't find were those few. Yan Han was one of them, but he knew the temper of that uncle. He was cold, arrogant, and had a cleanliness habit. How could someone like Pei Lang be protected by Yan Han? Even if he was deliberately disliking him, the uncle wouldn't do that.

After thinking it over and over again without any clue, Yan Xiuyuan decided to start a big fire on the Internet to force Pei Lang out.
