Chapter Forty-Four: Avoiding Women

  That night, I, who was injured, stayed in the sofa, my eyes following Yu's figure on the stage. He was still that stunning person, attracting the attention of all the women present. The latest free chapter of this book can be found at [website]. His tall and slender figure, proportionate and elegant, wore a navy blue long suit that not everyone could pull off, yet it looked perfect on him. His slightly hoarse voice was enough to mesmerize the crowd, and I, too, joined in, resting my chin on my knee, looking like a lovesick fool.

  After Yu's formal speech, a man in a black suit walked up to the stage and handed over a thick stack of documents to Yu with great solemnity. The two men also symbolically hugged each other for a moment. When I saw the man turn around to bow to the audience below, I was momentarily stunned. It was actually Brother Yang!

  It seems that Brother Yang is indeed highly valued by Auntie! He's always assigned to important occasions.

  He also bowed slightly, with a professional smile on his face, and finally said "I wish you all a pleasant evening", and then walked down the stage, which was considered to have completed the handover ceremony. The audience suddenly burst into cheers, excitement reached its peak, and even with light music, they started dancing wildly.

  Under the dim blue light, I saw him walking towards me through the crowd, surrounded by women who were eager to talk to him. His indifferent attitude had already discouraged many people, but he still walked towards me with his eyes fixed on me. My heart was filled with joy, and I couldn't believe that such a high-quality man had actually fallen for me! From now on, I didn't care about anything in the past, considering it all as sacrifices made for love. Now, my only thought is to treat him well.

  He sat down beside me, a gentle curve rising at the corner of his mouth, grasping my hand and staring intently at me. I felt tense under his gaze, which was slightly playful. Why was he suddenly looking at me like this, without saying a word? What had I done wrong again?

  "You've worked hard!" After racking his brains for half a day, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence.

  His lips moved slightly, and his warm breath teased my heart: "Just now you've been staring at me all the time, am I that good-looking?"

  My face grew hot as I stared straight into his eyes, wondering if I should confess to him or not. Should I tell him now that I also... But what about Ji Dong? Can I just interact with Yu like this and dispel his thoughts? Will he lose his rationality again and do something wrong? And what about Ruo Xi... No, it's still not the right time, let me endure a bit longer. Anyway, for now, I can stay by his side, whether I speak or not doesn't make a difference.

  "I don't have! I was just showing respect, whoever gets up to speak, I'll look at them!" But no one else has caught my eye like you.

  "Is your leg better?" He saw me excitedly gritting my teeth and began to worry about my injury again.

  It's warm in my heart, he's so bluntly concerned about me for the first time.

  A bright smile spread across her face, as if she had eaten honey: "Hmm, much better." With your care, I'm not afraid of getting hurt.

  A black figure sat down on the edge of the sofa behind Yu, I retracted my smile and my line of sight was drawn over. Who else is coming to join in? Haven't you seen that we're being sweet here?!

  That black shadow suddenly placed both hands on Yu's shoulders, his head emerged from the darkness and rested on one of his hands, giving me a slight smile: "Hey! Miss Mi, hello!"

  I was stunned when I saw his warm and familiar smile, it was actually Yang again! Miss Mi? What a strange way to address me, brother, when did you change my surname? He's also quite close to Ze Yu, indeed the number one driver, always trying to get involved everywhere.

  Yu was clearly dissatisfied with the movement of the person behind him, and he slightly frowned and patted his hand down. Yang Ge also automatically and consciously completely detached from this intimate state, still smiling on his face, as if he had long been accustomed to his unadorned direct refusal.

  "Brother Yang! You're so cool!" Seeing his effortless appearance, I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up and sincerely praise him.

  He still maintained a warm smile, politely nodding at me, then turned to ask Yu, his face slightly excited: "Young master, I was really happy just now on stage..."

  "You're just here to replace my mom, don't get too full of yourself." He sat up straight and cut him off, his face already red with anger for some reason.

  Yang Da Ge should have also grown up with Yu and Ji Dong, perhaps their feelings were very good in the past, no wonder he was so heartbroken about Yu's change. A picture of three boys playing together emerged in his mind, and he couldn't help but smile out loud.

  "What are you doing?" Yu's disdainful gaze shattered my beautiful fantasy.

  I stopped laughing abruptly, looked up at him and expressed my opinion: "Young master! You should change your temper!" Always putting on a poker face, I don't know who owed you in the previous life!

  He raised an eyebrow after hearing that, and roughly pulled me into his arms, holding my shoulders tightly. I leaned against him contentedly, not struggling at all. His embrace was something I had been craving. However, he seemed to think otherwise, the corner of his mouth curling up in a sly smile, as if he thought I was suffering, but just didn't have the strength to push him away. It seemed like he was trying to show me that this was his usual behavior, and even I wasn't allowed to object.

  "Don't you know I don't like being swayed by others?" His tone was firm, revealing his arrogance as the eldest son, with an air of pride and a natural-born king-like demeanor that wouldn't allow anyone to defy him or point out his mistakes, especially in front of everyone.

  I've already gotten used to him being like this, and since I decided to accept him, I naturally have to tolerate everything about him. I smiled slightly, looking up at his deep eyes: "Getting angry is bad for your health, Brother Yang is also concerned about you! If you're mad, take it out on me, I can take it!" There's no need to send people thousands of miles away!

  "Miss Rice, thank you!" A trembling voice came from the other side of the universe, and suddenly I felt like a hero in a green forest.

  He let out a soft sigh, relaxed his tense fingers, and gently wrapped them around me, as if he had been defeated by me. His tone was gentle as he said, "You're such a busybody, do you have to interfere in everyone's business? I'm really impressed by you." The tenderness in his eyes was so profound, openly displayed before me, thoroughly revealing that I held a unique position in his heart.

  My blood vessels were boiling, and I unconsciously leaned tightly against him, curling up my legs in his arms, listening to his steady heartbeat, while my own heart was violently racing. I didn't understand why he could be so calm, although I acted tough, but in the emotional confrontation, I was clearly at a disadvantage, always being teased by him and losing my composure, exposing all my weaknesses, nor did I know if he had really seen through my fragile inner self.

  I remain silent and speechless, my thoughts are in disarray, but my mind is still a mess, no matter how I think about it.

  "Brother Yu! Congratulations on ascending to the throne!" A soft and charming female voice suddenly interrupted, I looked up along with the sound, it was the snake demon at the gate who had been mocking me earlier. Although she was being held by Yu and I had the upper hand, she showed no fear, instead she seemed to be intentionally provoking us, her expression gentle and charming as she toasted Yu.

  He didn't even raise an eyebrow, nor did he take the wine glass from her hand. I couldn't help but want to laugh - this woman was too confident in her own looks, not even comparable to Xiaoran's, let alone able to seduce him? His aloof and unapproachable demeanor actually suited me just fine, especially when it came to women, who he seemed to repel even more. I felt more excited than winning the lottery - a prince charming like him was truly one in a million!

  The snake demon bumped into a brick wall, but still didn't give up. She batted her eyelashes and continued to climb the high branch: "Brother Yu, we're all regular customers now, can't you even show us your face? You're the general manager now, aren't you short-handed? Why not hire me to help out? I can earn enough face for you!" She leaned forward slightly, her low-cut top revealing a glimpse of spring scenery. I immediately turned my head away, feeling a wave of nausea. I really wanted to give her two words: Vulgar!

  Yu's face was expressionless, and after a moment, he spat out a faint word from his mouth: "Get out."

  The snake demon's face was stiff, but she still didn't give up. A strong perfume smell entered my nose as she stretched out her hand to Yu Wu, and I couldn't help but let out a sneeze in her direction. Her eyebrows furrowed together, and by that time, Yu Wu had already tightly grasped her wrist, gritting his teeth and saying: "Can't you understand human language? I said get lost! This place doesn't accept women!"

  She then exerted force and jerked back several steps, frowning tightly, angrily humming a sound, and even turned her head three times when walking away, as if she wanted to rush up again at any time.

  I couldn't help but feel a little worried, as the boss, he was treating customers like this, wasn't it too much? In fact, explaining things properly wouldn't be bad either, but he seemed to lack that patience. On stage, he had performed with great courtesy, but in an instant, he turned into a cold and unfeeling ice sculpture who didn't like women.
