“Boss, do you have any horror films at home?” Xu Xu lowered the volume of his voice further as he asked his Chief this question.
“No.”
“Can you prepare a horror show? The scarier, the better.”
The man refused to answer his henchman’s question.
“Alright, alright. I’ll bring Yahan over.”
Ye Erruo immediately got the servants to prepare a feast once he hung up the phone.
In the end, it was Wang Yiyang and Zheng Yi who arrived first.
Their happy faces seemed to suggest that they were the ones who had found love instead.
After a while, the gate swung open again.
Inside the living room, the hosts were playing a game of poker with the two early birds.
“Young Master, the guests have arrived.”
“Where? Where is the young couple?” Wang Yiyang scanned the room excitedly.
“Oh my! Xu Xu, have you seduced a lolita?” Zheng Yi teased his sworn brother as he took a glance at the young girl standing beside him.
“Stand aside, you two. Yahan, let me introduce you. These two are my young chummies.”
Mo Jiangye and Ye Erruo turned to look at the newcomers simultaneously. The young girl was momentarily stunned by the man’s good looks.
“This is my Chief and his wife.”
Jealousy flashed across his girlfriend’s eyes when she saw Ye Erruo.
“I didn’t know you had a preference for this type of girl.” Wang Yiyang shook his head as he commented.
The young girl had donned a pastel mini dress with a pair of high boots. Her doleful, big eyes sparkled with innocence that was further accentuated by the two small hair plaits behind her ears…
“Tsk… I like girls who are needy. Guys like you don’t understand.”
A girl like that would make him feel wanted and useful, which made him feel important.
“How old is she?”
“I’ll be 22 this year,” the girl answered with a polite smile. “Nice to meet you all today. Chief and sister-in-law, I have a gift for you.” After saying that, she took four bracelets out of her pink handbag.
“Ya Han has made these herself.”
Ye Erruo took the bracelet and put it on immediately. “It’s beautiful, thank you.”
The bracelet design was in vogue and hardly looked effeminate on a man.
“Chief, this is for you.”
The man glanced at the bracelet, swept the woman next to him into his arms with his big hand, and said, “I only accept gifts from my wife.”
The girl’s hand froze in mid-air. “Oh… I see,” she replied awkwardly.
“Don’t mind him. He’s an oddball.” Ye Erruo jabbed her elbow lightly against the man’s ribs while trying to ease the tension. Her husband’s words had delighted her.
“No worries, Yahan. Our Boss here is his wife’s slave. She is the most precious to him. He won’t accept anyone’s presents except hers.”
His girlfriend smiled enviously. “Sister-in-law is so blessed.”
The woman gave her a polite smile in return.
“What are you doing? Are you guys playing a poker game? We want to join you!” Xu Xu pulled his girlfriend’s hand to take a seat on the sofa.
“Come on, let’s have a game. The losers will have to do 1,000 push-ups!”
“That’s passé. Let’s think of another punishment instead. How about this? Let’s write down the penalty we want to mete out to the losers on paper. Each time someone loses the game, they’ll have to carry out the penalty written on the paper they pick from the lot. It’s more fun this way. Come on, both of you should join us!” Zheng Yi suggested after getting some tips from the servants.
“What do you think, sis-in-law?”
“Sure!”
“We’ll do what she says,” Mo Jiangye remarked in his husky voice. This was good enough for the servants, who got the stuff they needed ready.
“Let’s play something simple!”
“Alright.”
Soon, they started their card game as the servants brought their tea over.
Fang Ya Han looked around her in awe. The extravagant, high-class furniture in this place and the presence of countless servants had made her envious. The manor looked classic in every corner. This was the world of the rich and powerful…
