NOVEL WEB Thirty-Seven: Baby, don’t be angry.
Chapter Thirty-Seven: Baby, don’t be angry.
Cheng YuTang listened for Ji XiaoYu’s answer for a long time, before he couldn’t help but ask again, “XiaoYu, why aren’t you talking? What kind of powerful person were you with previously?”
“What are you always asking about this? What qualifications do you have in order to ask? Who cares who he is, I won’t tell you!” Ji XiaoYu twisted his head and rubbed his sore eyes. He said indignantly, “If that night, I was replaced by someone else, it would have been the same for you, right? You can rest assured, I’m a man, not a woman. I don’t want to depend on you and I won’t bring up that you need to take responsibility!”
He viewed the little white egg as so important, not because of who the other father of the little white egg was, but just because it had developed in his own body, created from his own innumerable efforts.
Even if he was alone, he was going to try to hatch the little white egg and then raise the baby well afterwards. Having Cheng YuTang as the other father? That meant nothing! to! him!
Cheng YuTang looked at his puffed-out cheeks and reddened eyes, like a child who had been greatly wronged, and he couldn’t help but feel pain and pity in his heart. He whispered, “Yes, you’re right, I really don’t have the right to ask. It’s meaningless for me make excuses for what I did that night. All I can say is that I’m serious now. I’m serious about you, not acting out of responsibility or guilt, but just because you are you and I really like you.
“Baby, don’t be angry, okay? No matter what happened before, we can start over from now on. If you feel uneasy, just beat me up me until you’re relieved, okay?”
As he spoke, he held Ji XiaoYu’s hand again, bringing it to his heart.
Hearing this confession caught him off guard. Ji XiaoYu’s head spun, as if he were lacking oxygen.
The affectionate, gentle offensive attack of this man’s deep feelings was the most unstoppable. He could feel his rapid and powerful heartbeat under his palm and his own heartbeat raced out of control chaotically. His face began to heat up again and he stammered, “Who, who is your baby? You, don’t you give me some messy nickname, so disgusting! You think you’re so strong, but if this little master really tried, you wouldn’t be able to get up after one of my slaps!”
Cheng YuTang heard him saying that he was disgusting, but his face had flushed red and his attitude had loosened up, so he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed. He followed his lead and said, “Yes, our Mister Ji XiaoYu is the most powerful, dashing all over the world without a worthy adversary. How else could you be my bodyguard?”
Ji XiaoYu wanted to say no to being the bodyguard of this nuisance, that he’d love to leave, but then he thought back on the agreement he had made at the beginning and knew he couldn’t say that in any case.
If he violated the agreement, he would be struck by lightning and his soul would be destroyed.
Oh papa, why was he so stupid in the first place? He had tangled himself up in knots and now he couldn’t dig his way out!
He pulled his hand free and indignantly said, “You’re so rich. There are so many people who want to be your bodyguard, there are a bunch of bright ones in HongSheng and you won’t run short without me.”
“Yes, but they’re no match for you.” Cheng YuTang heaved a sigh, staring deeply into his eyes. “When you’re used to the best, how can you go back to the rest?”
Ji XiaoYu really wanted to cover up his mouth, this man is so unruly! He could say something so pleasing to ear like a seductive magic potion!
He also really liked this magic potion and, after drinking it once, he couldn’t stop……
No way, he couldn’t listen to him go on anymore. He was really angry, he couldn’t just let himself be fooled by this man!
He stood up and forcibly changed the topic, “I’m tired! I want to take leave! I’m going back to rest!”
“Okay, okay, good, taking leave.” Cheng YuTang decided to go along. “So, do you want to take a few days off?”
Ji XiaoYu hadn’t really thought about taking a few days off. In fact, he had been working or doing overtime since he entered HongSheng. He had basically had no rest during the past three months, so after hesitating for a moment, he said, “Two days… no, three days!”
“Okay, then three days.” Cheng YuTang suddenly pushed down the worries in his heart that had sprung up. He had been worried that Ji XiaoYu would quit out of anger for a while. Now it seemed that he would really have to thank the little thing for his unparalleled professional dedication. “But your company car is at my place and it’s a long way back to HongLe Garden. There’s no direct bus route and the weather is bad. I’ll take you back.”
Heh heh, it’s this routine again. Ji XiaoYu said very firmly, “No. I’ll take a taxi myself.”
Today, he wanted to handle this on his own. Even if he had to spend a hundred yuan on a taxi, he could afford it!
Cheng YuTang had to give in, “Alright, I’ll send you off.”
Although he was now a thousand, no, ten thousand times more reluctant to let him go, the continuation of the stalemate wouldn’t have a good outcome. The little thing was just trying to escape with his thoughts for the time being, instead of breaking off all contact with him on the spot. This was already very good. He couldn’t force him now, he could only coax him first and then pull him back gradually.
Ji XiaoYu snorted, pulling open the door of the tea room and striding out.
Cheng and Xiao smiled wryly and followed at his heels.
The distance between their shoulders as he followed was different than the intimacy of earlier. At this time, they were a few meters apart, just like two strangers.
After Yang DongCheng finished with Jin LaoSan, he had waited in the corridor outside. Seeing his boss and the little bodyguard come out, he hurried over. However, he could see the situation between the two wasn’t right, it seemed that there had been a conflict. The little bodyguard was walking in front with puffed-out cheeks, ignoring his boss, and the boss followed right behind him, looking tenderly at the little bodyguard’s back. He didn’t dare to rush and open his mouth, but he attempted a question, “Cheng Zong, is there anything else I could do for you?”
Cheng YuTang pulled his gaze away from Ji XiaoYu’s back and cleared his throat, saying, “Just do everything according to the rules.”
As he spoke, he signaled with his eyes at Yang DongCheng. He pointed to the other man using an angle in the little thing’s blindspot and raised his hand to trace out the shape of a rectangle.
Yang DongCheng was a smart man. He instantly processed the idea. Immediately after, he smiled at Ji XiaoYu. “Sir, congratulations on being the lucky 8888th guest since we opened our restaurant. We have specially prepared a supreme lifelong diamond VIP card to present to you.”
Ji XiaoYu didn’t understand for a moment, “What? A what card? What’s the use of this card?”
“A supreme lifelong diamond VIP card,” Yang DongCheng repeated patiently. He took a glittering card from his pocket and handed it over. His tone thawing, he said, “With this card, every time the restaurant launches a new dish, you can enjoy it for free for your first taste. And you can enjoy a complimentary meal specially prepared by our chef on the 8th, 18th and 28th of each month. The only requirement is that you cannot come alone. When you come, you must dine with a friend, which will facilitate promotion of our restaurant. What do you think?”
He spoke while paying attention to his boss’s face. As he saw Cheng Zong nodding slightly, with a proud expression, he couldn’t help but speak more and more vigorously.
“Sure, no problem!” Ji XiaoYu was almost dancing with joy. He had just lifted his fist when he suddenly realized that the action was too undignified and detrimental to his image, so he immediately pulled it back to scratch his chin nonchalantly.
Having a free big meal to eat, made a profit, made a profit!
It would be so easy to pull someone along to eat together, someone who’s readily available……
Ah, pei pei pei! Who wants to eat with this bastard!? Isn’t he the boss here anyway? When he wants to eat, he can eat. Whoever he wanted to eat with, he could eat with them, as long as it’s not me, then do whatever!
Wait a minute, this Manager Yang isn’t scheming with a certain someone, right? How else could such a good thing happen to fall on my own head? What kind of trap could be attached to it?
Ji XiaoYu stared warily at Yang DongCheng and said in doubt, “Manager Yang, how could it be that I happen to be the 8888th guest? How do you count all the people who come every day one by one?”
Yang DongCheng could tell, his boss’s sweetheart was a rare, pure man of goodness and simplicity. There wasn’t even a bit of worldliness or scheming in this person. So he boasted, “Of course we can’t hand-count the number, but our restaurant is equipped with a set of the best high-end electronic facial recognition systems. Every guest who comes to eat will be automatically identified and archived by the system. The operator of the computer room just informed me that you happen to be the 8888th guest. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the computer room with me to check the data.”
As soon as Ji XiaoYu heard this, he waved his hand, “Forget it, I can’t read or understand that.”
Anyway, it was just eating a meal. If there was a problem, then he just wouldn’t eat it. There was nothing at stake in any case.
So he thanked Yang DongCheng and he comfortably took the supreme lifelong diamond VIP card.
Once out of Ning Cheng Spring and Autumn, Ji XiaoYu had just walked a few steps when he suddenly felt something fall onto his face, something cold. He looked up and found it was snowing.
He liked snow. In the past, when it snowed on Xiao Qing Shan, there was much more than in the city. Overnight, the mountain would be covered with silver and white, like a big plush blanket on a soft bed. At that time, he would either have snowball fights with the spiritual beasts or he would snuggle into his nest and sleep. It was all such a happy thing.
Ay, saying this when he’d been outside for half a year. He kind of missed Xiao Qing Shan.
Ning City’s climate was warm and pleasant; the summer wasn’t too hot, the winter wasn’t too cold, and occasionally there was a little snow, though it didn’t accumulate on the ground. This was the first snow in Ning City since winter began this year, but the flakes weren’t too heavy, like down feathers flying all over.
Ji XiaoYu reached out and caught a snowflake, watching the fluffy white ice crystal fall lightly in the palm of his hand and, unbidden, he got the urge to stick out his tongue and lick it like he used to in Xiao Qing Shan.
Just as the tip of his tongue poked out a little, he caught sight of Cheng YuTang coming outside out of the corner of his eye and hurriedly recovered his tongue. He bit himself in his rush and, in pain, sucked a cold breath of air, almost dying from his own stupidity.
Cheng YuTang saw him covering his mouth and grimacing in pain and hurried forward to ask, “What’s wrong, was it bitten by me this morning? Open your mouth and let me see.”
Ji XiaoYu instantly turned red and he caught a glimpse of Old Yang choking back his laughter on the side with shaking shoulders. He wished he could jump up and bite the man a few times, don’t you see, you big-headed bastard? This is all your fault!
Just then, there happened to be a taxi stopping at the side of the road, with two passengers approaching it. He rushed forward and got into the backseat before the others, urging him vaguely, “Fierce master, without delay, help me make a speedy escape!”
If this goes on, I’m going to lose all my face.
“This street is narrow, there are many cars parked here, I can’t start out fast!” the taxi driver explained while driving the car, “Where are you going?”
“HongLe Garden.”
“Alright,” the driver said, and then he joked, “Young man, why were you in such a hurry just now, is a debt collector after you?”
It’s scarier than debt collection! Ji XiaoYu was silent, unable to crush the resentment in his heart. He couldn’t keep himself from looking back. Cheng YuTang was still standing on the side of the road, his gaze following the direction of his departure.
After the taxi had driven for over a dozen meters, his hair and shoulders were faintly covered in a layer of white, as if he were suddenly a few decades older.
Ji XiaoYu suddenly felt a little sad and he didn’t dare to look back any longer, quickly turning his head away.
He recalled that a colleague had said that Cheng YuTang was 33 years old. Although he was in his prime, when a man was strong and prosperous, the lifespan of human beings was very short. On average, they could only live to 70 or 80 years old. If he calculated it, Cheng YuTang had already lived through nearly half his life.
With just a little cultivation, a spiritual beast could easily live for a few hundred years. As an example, Grandpa Hou no longer remembered how long he had lived. With his current physical condition, living for another two hundred years shouldn’t be a problem.
After 50 years, I’ll still be young, but what will Cheng YuTang look like?
