Jia Mingliang paused briefly, then suddenly gulped down a shot of strong liquor.
He looked up, a pair of dark eyes staring at Baili Xiao, with a cold light condensing within them, and spoke in a deep voice, "Baili Xiao, do you want to have a go with him? I can accommodate you."
"Okay, Jia Young Master, just spare me! I don’t want to seek abuse and end up an idiot like that Young Master Song."
Baili Xiao quickly waved his hands, shaking his head like a rattle drum.
"Hmph, don’t try to fool me here, I know your strength! Managed to escape unscathed from the encirclement and assassination by the seven Dragons, are you afraid of that kid?"
Jia Mingliang snorted coldly, his eyes fixed on Baili Xiao.
"Jia Young Master, you’re overestimating me, back then Long Yi and Long Er showed mercy, otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the chance to sit here and drink with you." Baili Xiao gave a bitter smile.
Jia Mingliang spoke indifferently, "I heard that Long Er was injured by your hand, and you call that mercy? Baili Xiao, I’ll ask you one thing, will you go or not!"
Baili Xiao’s eyes flickered slightly, reluctantly saying, "Jia Young Master, you’re not joking, right? You really want me to end up an idiot lying in bed?"
"I’m not joking with you, you know who he is, I’m giving you three days, and after three days, I don’t want that person to still be alive!"
Jia Mingliang’s words were flat but contained a strong sense of deadly intent.
"Alright, alright! I’ll only make a move three times, if he survives that, then I’ll no longer take action." Baili Xiao reluctantly agreed.
"Three times? That’s enough."
Murderous intent filled his eyes as Jia Mingliang murmured.
Ye Xuan held Lu Miaochan, the two nestling against each other, peacefully spending the night with nothing happening.
But their feelings for each other deepened slightly, and Lu Miaochan’s pretty face was always blooming with a smile like flowers!
After breakfast, Ye Xuan drove Lu Miaochan to school and then headed to Eastern Group.
He parked the car in the parking lot and walked leisurely into the Company, took the elevator to Lin Tong’s office.
The door was slightly ajar, Ye Xuan knocked twice and then pushed the door open.
At that moment, Lin Tong was leaning back in her office chair, her eyes fixed on the ceiling, either pondering or daydreaming.
"Wife, what are you thinking about to be so distracted?" Ye Xuan walked over and asked with a smile.
Seeing the weariness in Lin Tong’s eyes, he couldn’t help but extend two fingers, pressing them on either side of her forehead, and gently started to massage.
Lin Tong slightly closed her eyes and didn’t speak, silently enjoying Ye Xuan’s massage service.
After massaging for ten minutes and helping Lin Tong ease her fatigue, Ye Xuan asked with concern, "Wife, why couldn’t you sleep last night? Is there something troubling you?"
"Ye Xuan, I feel like I can’t carry on, I’ve been so oppressed."
Lin Tong opened her eyes, sighed softly, and said with a somewhat low spirit, "Over the years, I’ve been working desperately for the development of Eastern Group but have never been approved by my dad! He hasn’t even really cared about me once, just using me as a bargaining chip, trading me like a commodity to whomever can bring him benefits..."
Saying this, Lin Tong’s eyelids drooped, "Is he really my biological father? Sometimes, I even doubt if he just picked me up. He’s cold to me like a stranger, and even kinder to strangers than to me. In his eyes, his daughter is dispensable."
Lin Tong sighed complicatedly, turning to Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, I really don’t know how to deal with our relationship or what will happen in the future. Can our father-daughter relationship even continue?"
"Wife, just be yourself, you don’t need his approval! What does it matter whether he approves or not?"
Ye Xuan comfortingly reassured, "Moreover, as long as I’m here, he can’t force you to do anything! Remember what I once told you? One day, he will beg me to be his son-in-law."
"Hehe, at that time, not only will he not coerce you anymore, but he will also treat you like a treasure and accommodate you in every possible way."
Ye Xuan smiled faintly, speaking softly.
"Ye Xuan, will there really be such a day? I know you’re capable, but can you really resolve all of this?"
Lin Tong tilted her small face upward, looking at Ye Xuan with hopeful eyes filled with deep tenderness and affection.
"There will be! Definitely. Wife, I promise you, that day will come very soon! It won’t be too far."
Ye Xuan thumped his chest, declaring confidently, "Since I dare to say it, I will definitely make it happen! Wife, once I return this time, I’ll help you realize it, help you break free from all the oppression and restrictions, and completely regain your freedom."
"Mmm, I believe you and look forward to that day."
Lin Tong smiled faintly, then gently asked, "By the way, you just mentioned waiting for your return, what does that mean? Ye Xuan, are you going to leave East Sea?"
"Not leaving East Sea, just going to handle some business temporarily, about three days. I’ll be back this weekend," Ye Xuan answered.
Today happened to be Friday, and he had promised to accompany Su Yumo to the countryside in Jianghai, planning to leave after the afternoon.
Although she didn’t know what it was about, a man’s promise, once given, naturally had to be fulfilled.
"Oh, then have a safe journey and come back soon."
Lin Tong nodded her head, not asking further, simply wishing him safety.
For a smart woman, a man always needs his own private space. Being too controlling can backfire!
"Hehe, wife, now that the serious talk is over, isn’t it time for our daily mandatory exercise?"
Ye Xuan rubbed his hands together, a mischievous smile crossing his lips.
"What mandatory exercise?"
"Of course, a kiss. Once a day, you haven’t forgotten, have you?"
Lin Tong coquettishly rolled her eyes at Ye Xuan, turning her head away with proud coyness.
"Wahahaha, wife, your lord is here!"
Ye Xuan burst into wild laughter, unable to resist Lin Tong’s cool, coy demeanor and immediately leaned in for a kiss.
The next second, Lin Tong managed to speak because her small mouth had been sealed by a fiery passionate one.
For a moment, the office was filled with springtime!
At half-past one in the afternoon, Ye Xuan told Lin Tong he was leaving, then drove to the entrance of Century Garden, where he met Su Yumo.
Su Yumo was also in her car, a white Chevrolet parked prominently at the community’s main entrance.
Ye Xuan parked his car alongside, got out, and waved to the beautiful woman sitting inside.
Seeing Ye Xuan arrive, Su Yumo opened the door and got out, the first things revealed being her long attractive legs.
She wore a white chiffon blouse and denim shorts, her face hidden behind sunglasses, presenting a fresh and lovely appearance.
This woman, usually in a suit and white shirt, sticking to a palette of gray, white, and black, Ye Xuan was seeing her dressed for the first time.
Less of the workplace elite’s sternness, and more of an urban beauty’s stylish vibe.
