41 Thank You for Your Hospitality

As Cheng Lang lifted Xing Shu’s chin, he noted that the marks on her cheek had disappeared. He asked curiously in a low voice, “What’s with the smile?”

“Young Uncle, have you read ‘The Little Prince’?” Xing Shu’s erudition had also fostered her to speak with a mellifluous voice and tone—unbeknown to her—that was also very seductive. There was a phrase in ‘The Little Prince’—’please tame me’.

Cheng Lang was a devout Buddhist in everyone’s eyes; akin to a flower on the precipice. Women placed him on the altar to worship; yet at the same time, they also yearned to devour him. Everyone wanted to get up close and personal with him, even if it meant as a subservient pet.

Cheng Lang met Xing Shu’s eyes and suddenly patted her cheek. “Don’t be so wild.”

Although he rejected her, his eyes were smiling. Xing Shu knew that her words had pleased Cheng Lang. However, Xing Shu did not pursue any further; he was her sugar daddy after all. It was fine to tease him occasionally, but if she went overboard, she might just die without knowing why.

Xing Shu stayed in Manor No. 1 until Friday before returning to her apartment. She had thought that she would be sent back the day she woke up, but Cheng Lang had not said anything. When she tried to flirt with him last night, he did not seem to have any reaction. Yet, in the blink of an eye, he pressed her against the huge window wall.

“You don’t want your hand anymore?” Cheng Lang’s indifferent tone contradicted his current actions.

As Xing Shu sucked testingly on Cheng Lang’s Adam’s apple, his eyes smoldered instantly and his voice became even raspier. “Does Cheng Xingyang know that you’re so wild in bed?”

Xing Shu could not remember her reply; she was lost in the throes of passion. The crackling sound of burning wood rang in her ears, and flames of various shapes danced in front of her eyes. The pain gradually disappeared, replaced by an indescribable numbness. As she lay exhausted under Cheng Lang after it all, she thought she heard him say softly, “Thank you for your hospitality.”

Xing Shu’s ears burned at the recollection. She rubbed her ears and tried her best to focus on the computer. The issue pertaining to the R&D building would be exposed today. Among the few directors involved, Cheng Gang would definitely be the one affected the most. However, Old Master Cheng probably would not allow Cheng Lang to eliminate so many people at once; so he would choose one to make an example out of.

Xing Shu’s face turned glacial at the thought of Cheng Gang.
