His request put Boss Tang in a fix, for it was impossible for him to lay a hand on Mo Jiangye, and that surely applied to his woman as well. However, on second thought, she was just a woman.
“Keep in mind that you’re indebted to my master. I’ll make things clear to you. My master wants that woman. Bring her to him and we’ll call things even.”
He seemed to be somewhat wavered by that offer. After all, being indebted to Orffa was something that had troubled him all this while, so the idea of calling things even tempted him.
“I hope that you’ll give us a satisfactory answer soon. Don’t forget, our master got injured on your turf.”
Upon saying that, the other person reluctantly left with his pack of troublemakers while kicking aside the nosy parkers as they made their way out.
Why am I dealing with so much trouble when the day has just started?
Feeling troubled, Boss Tang let out a heavy sigh.
“Lin Hei.”
“Yes, boss?”
“Find some hot babes. I want the prettiest of the lot. Step on it and take care of it today.”
“Alright, I got it.”
It was 9:30 when Ye Erruo woke up, but she got up earlier than her husband for once.
The room was pitch dark and unusually quiet.
“Good morning, hubby.”
The man scooped her into his arms at once and pressed her underneath him. Then, like a spoiled little kid, he rubbed himself against her.
“Are we heading back today?”
“Hm? Do you want to go back already?”
“Xu Xu and the others are seriously injured. They need to go back to recuperate.”
Mo Jiangye rested his head on the woman’s shoulder. He had intended to stay here for a few days and have fun with her before going back.
“It’s fine. They can go back on their own. We’re going horseback riding today.”
“Horseback riding?”
“Yes.”
…
“Please take a look at this, Young Master Mo. This is all the information on that fighter,” said Boss Tang.
Mo Jiangye flipped through the documents. “Is that all?”
“Yes. That’s all I could find.”
After shooting Boss Tang a knowing look, Bo Yu revealed some details. “Sir, that man’s name is Orffa, and he’s part of Blue Tower Royalty’s harem. The main purpose of his visit is to serve the royal princess. Also, Boss Tang is on close terms with him.”
Flustered, the older man hastily explained, “Y-Yes. I’ve received help from Orffa in the past. Since he came a long way from Blue Tower, I offered him a place to stay here.”
Mo Jiangye squinted at him. “Is that so?”
“Yes, it is! Of course, he deserves to die for stepping on your toes! He deserves the death penalty!”
His assistant added. “He isn’t dead yet, sir.”
His face sank in displeasure. “Kill him!”
That order had Boss Tang nervously wringing his hands. “He’s not dead? He must be crippled, though. Can’t you spare his life, Young Master Mo? Isn’t it much crueler and more painful to let him stay bedridden for the rest of his life? Don’t you think so?”
Mo Jiangye, however, did not respond to him and picked up a xiaolongbao[1] to place it on his wife’s plate. “Have another one.”
Ye Erruo set the bottle of milk in her hand down. “I’m full already.”
“It’s the last one. Just finish it.” How is she going to get pregnant if she doesn’t eat more to nourish her body?
“I can’t.” She waved her hand.
“Fine.” His gaze was then lowered to focus on prying the egg yolk from a peeled, boiled egg before putting the egg white on her plate.
“Eat this then.”
“I’m really too stuffed to eat any more food. You eat it instead,” replied the woman.
He shot her a look. “You’ve gotten a lot thinner recently.”
“Pardon? How can you say that when I have actually gained 4 kilos?”
“You’ve gotten thinner,” the man retorted lightly. “Last time I checked, which was only yesterday, you’d indeed gotten thinner.”
A troubled yet complex look settled on Boss Tang’s face. Is this woman…
