An Xiaxia believed that Fang Liyuan had dug a pit already and was tricking her into jumping in…
“Ahem. Shouldn’t you be asking Sheng Yize that?” An Xiaxia cleared her throat, throwing the ball back to Sheng Yize.
Sheng Yize was speechless. “Am I not even as important as Chi Yuanfeng to you?”
“No! Of course you’re the most important!” An Xiaxia covered her ears like an adorable kid. “I can’t hear you. I can’t hear anything. I’m sleepwalking…”
She then threw herself on the bed, ignoring the phone call and leaving Sheng Yize to sigh in resignation.
“Who’s behind it?”
“The archenemy of the Lan family: Bai Ye of the Bai family.”
“Isn’t he the archenemy of the Fang family as well?”
Fang Liyuan chuckled. “Don’t worry. I’ll happily retrieve your body if you’re killed out there.”
“…”
Hanging up, Sheng Yize got into bed and pinched An Xiaxia’s nose. “Are you done sleepwalking?”
“Hm…” An Xiaxia struggled with teary eyes. “I’m done.”
Sheng Yize only let go of her then.
“Are you going to take Fengfeng’s place?” An Xiaxia asked nervously. “Will it be very dangerous?”
You heartless little woman. I see you do worry about me, then.
Sheng Yize had to admit that he enjoyed her concern. Snorting lazily, he said, “Of course I’m going.”
“Then… be safe!”
“If you’re that worried, how about you come with me?” Sheng Yize grinned. An Xiaxia thought it over, then said, “I think you better go alone. One of us should stay behind to earn money for Cola and Pepsi.”
The corner of Sheng Yize’s mouth twitched. “Why don’t you go, then? Since I make more money than you do.”
“What… Sheng Yize, you cruel man! You’re actually considering selling me!” An Xiaxia looked hurt.
Caw, caw, caw —
“And you have no problem sending me, then? Bai Ye is openly gay. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll hook up with him?”
OMG!
An Xiaxia was conflicted.
Seeing the pitiful look on her face, Sheng Yize finally felt that he had won this round. He snorted. “Don’t worry. I’m straight and you’re the only one I love.”
–
The next day.
A black Rolls-Royce stopped outside the Sheng family home and Sheng Yize got in unhurriedly.
After zigzagging through various streets, it stopped in an alley.
Pushing the door open, he stepped into a completely different world.
The courtyard decor was simple and unsophisticated. A towering cypress stood in the yard, giving the place a tranquil and pleasant feeling.
The only thing not so pleasant was Chi Yuanfeng’s screams from one of the rooms. “Stop touching me! Aah… my trousers… Shit! I’m straight! I really am!”
Sheng Yize’s face darkened and he charged into the room.
Chi Yuanfeng was handcuffed and a man wearing a black shirt was smiling amiably at him. However, he didn’t hesitate when he ripped Chi Yuanfeng’s trousers off and began to caress his legs.
Chi Yuanfeng looked like he had seen his savior when Sheng Yize walked in. He wailed, “Brother! Help!”
The man looked up and wasn’t perturbed by Sheng Yize’s presence. “You’re here.”
“Let him go,” said Sheng Yize coldly.
Bai Ye darted a regretful look at Chi Yuanfeng. It had been a while since he last found a pet this lively.
“Will you have some fun with me if I let him go?” Bai Ye grinned.
Sheng Yize frowned. “What fun do you have in mind?”
“I’d like to tie you up… and put you into an attractive pose in bed. Ouch!” Bai Ye looked down when Chi Yuanfeng bit him hard in the thigh. “You piece of shit! You’re not doing anything to my brother!”
