Chapter 717: Why Don’t You Stay Here Tonight?

Su Yang looked straight into Chu Xia’s eyes and Chu Xia blushed. Just when she thought that Su Yang wanted to do it again, Su Yang said, “Why don’t you tell your mother that you’d be staying at your classmate’s place tonight?”

This question stunned Chu Xia.

Then, Chu Xia grabbed the pillow on the sofa in embarrassment. “Su Yang! You’re going overboard now!”

Su Yang laughed as he got up to avoid Chu Xia’s chase. The two of them bickered from the first floor all the way to the second floor, then from the second floor to Su Yang’s room...

After fooling around in Su Yang’s room for a while, Su Yang took advantage of Chu Xia’s carelessness and carried her up, falling head first onto the bed.

Chu Xia panicked when Su Yang pinned her down on the bed because she did not expect to end up on the bed at all.

‘If Su Yang were to ask for a certain something right now, should I reject or reject...?’

At the thought of this, her heart was pumping so fast that it almost seemed as if it was going into cardiac arrest.

Just then, Su Yang hugged the soft Chu Xia and said, “Don’t move. Let me hug you for a while.”

When Su Yang said that, Chu Xia’s heart softened, including her body.

She lay quietly under Su Yang. The two of them were close to each other and could feel each other’s heartbeat.

After a while, Su Yang said softly to Chu Xia, “Chu Xia.”

“Huh?” Chu Xia replied. Then, she came back to her senses and said a little angrily,” Can you just tell me what’s going on? Don’t keep calling me. Whenever you call me by my name, my heart will always thump.”

Su Yang chuckled and whispered into Chu Xia’s ear, “I want to tell you something.”

As Su Yang spoke, Chu Xia felt a warm breath blowing by her ear, tickling her. She twisted her body and said, “Go ahead.”

Su Yang replied, “Actually... I have a daughter. She has liked you for a long time and wants you to be her Mommy.”

Chu Xia was stunned. ‘Daughter? Su Yang has a daughter?’

Her mind was in a mess and she started to think. ‘I heard that in some remote places, couples usually get married in their teens.

‘Su Yang seemed to have mentioned that his hometown was in a village in Jiujiang. Could that be his case?

‘Am I going to become a stepmother before I even get married?

‘But, in the television dramas, stepmothers are all bad.

‘Pfft, wait, how have I become a mother before I even got pregnant?

‘Hang on? That doesn’t seem right either!’

Chu Xia felt like her mind was a complete mess and didn’t even know what she was thinking.

‘I must have become an idiot after being crushed by Su Yang.’

When she thought about this, she did not dare to continue thinking about it as she was afraid that she would become confused. Hence, she stuttered, “W... Where is your daughter? How old is she?”

Su Yang lifted his upper body and looked into her eyes with a burning gaze. “I don’t know where she is right now. But if you’re willing, I’ll arrange for you to meet in 10 months.”

Chu Xia was stunned. Then, a thought flashed through her mind and she suddenly understood what Su Yang meant! ‘This is still the same topic as before!

‘This *sshole!’

Chu Xia was so embarrassed that her face turned red. She flipped Su Yang over and escaped from the bed. “You... You’re such a jerk!”

Su Yang laid on the bed and laughed when he saw Chu Xia’s flustered look.

As Chu Xia looked at his smug expression, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Finally, she angrily said, “Just give up on this idea today, it’s that time of the month for me today.”

“That time of the month?” Su Yang did not understand the term initially, but after some thought, he understood what Chu Xia meant.

Actually, he didn’t really intend to do anything and was just trying to scare Chu Xia. Hence, when he heard Chu Xia’s words, he smiled nonchalantly and said, “Well, you should drink more hot water then.”

Chu Xia stomped her feet angrily and was about to criticize this unromantic man.

However, before she could say anything, Su Yang slapped his head. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I forgot that men should take more actions at times like this.”

Then, Chu Xia’s expression softened. ‘That’s more like it...’

Then, she heard Su Yang say, “In that case... I’ll treat you to some ice cream then!”

As he spoke, Su Yang actually had a box of ice cream in his hands. He opened the lid of the ice cream and scooped a spoonful for himself. Then, he scooped another spoonful for Chu Xia.

Chu Xia looked incredulous.

Seeing that Chu Xia wasn’t picking up, Su Yang asked, “You don’t like it?”

“Then...” The ice cream in Su Yang’s hand disappeared and a copper pot filled with red soup appeared before him. “Shall we have some hotpot then?”

Chu Xia’s face trembled and she felt a little dizzy.

Su Yang smiled and said, “You still don’t like it?”

“Then...” He put on a pair of sunglasses, jumped off the bed, and began to dance the “Gangnam Style”. “Let’s dance then.”

With his weird antics, the lights in the room started to glow with different colors, making the room look like a pub.

The only little monster who could be so cooperative with Su Yang would be none other than Little Deeny...

Meanwhile, Chu Xia was completely dumbfounded.

She looked at Su Yang, who was having a good time. ‘Hold it in... Hold it in... Hold it in...’

In the end, she failed!

“Ahhh! Su Yang! I’m going to beat you up!” Chu Xia yelled as she dashed towards Su Yang.

Su Yang laughed as he avoided Chu Xia’s pursuit. Their laughter echoed throughout the castle and resonated with the laughter from the party outside, causing others to feel that... Perhaps this was life.

In the end, Chu Xia and Tang Xiaomi played till 3am before Su Yang sent them home.

When they left, both of them were reluctant to leave.

To them, who had both seen such supernatural powers and seen so many strange little monsters, the real world seemed to have become much more boring...

Whether it was the rabbit that was about the size of a bear, or the umbrella that could change the weather at will, or Janet, who controlled the water in the swimming pool to create a waterfall in the castle, or Gru, who could cause a tree to be born instantly, or the endless delicacies from the [Grass-Eating Iron Pot], they had never seen anything like this in their lives...

After sending off the two ladies, Su Yang returned to the castle, where the Little Monster Beans had already started to clean up the party.

With his [Three Days Without Sleep Halo], Su Yang did not feel tired at all. In fact, he felt that he could even dance for a few more hours.

‘To be honest, if not for the fact that Chu Xia’s on her period and Tang Xiaomi still has to go to school tomorrow, I would have really been able to continue playing.

‘However, now that the commotion is over, everything’s returned to silence.’

At that thought, Su Yang felt a little lonely standing in the yard.

Even though he had so many little monsters around him and Chu Xia and Tang Xiaomi could share these amazing things, Su Yang still felt that he was different from everyone else in the world.

After all, in that world, only he had the system, plus only he had so many special items and little monsters.

All in all, he was just different from others, but no one knew...

‘I don’t know when I’ll be able to show off all of these to everyone...

After all, theoretically, I’m a vain person...’

Just as Su Yang was lamenting about everything, his phone rang.

When Su Yang came back to his senses, his first reaction was that someone was calling him at night. Hence, he asked Little Deeny casually, “Little Deeny, who’s calling?”

Little Deeny’s voice rang in Su Yang’s ears. “Master, it’s not your phone.”

‘Huh? It’s not my phone?

‘But the ringtone is the same as a glass phone’s.’

Su Yang was stunned for a moment. He looked around and soon found a glass phone that was ringing on a table.

Hence, Su Yang walked over and answered the phone.

Then, Su Yang heard a familiar female voice on the other end of the phone. “Mr. CEO, is my phone at your house?”

‘It’s Chu Xia.’

Su Yang replied, “Yes. Shall I send it over to you now?”

Chu Xia said, “No need... You can return it to me when we meet up for dinner tomorrow. I purposely left it behind so that I can go on a date with you tomorrow. It’s settled then, see you tomorrow...

“Also, remember to rest well. I don’t want to see you with panda’s eyes when we meet.”

Then, Chu Xia hung up without waiting for Su Yang’s response.

Su Yang held his phone that was still lit up and a helpless and sweet smile appeared on his face.

‘I guess... It doesn’t matter if not many people know about it.

‘Sometimes, having one person is like having the whole world...’

Hence, the night passed uneventfully...

The next day, the sun rose as usual and Su Yang got up early in the morning.

He had planned to spend the night reading, but Chu Xia’s call last night might have affected him. He hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to take a nap.

In the end, Su Yang only slept for three hours before waking up due to the influence of the [Three Days Without Sleep Halo].

When he woke up, Su Yang was in high spirits. He was no longer as exhausted as he was last night.

Such recovery and sleep efficiency made Su Yang feel more and more like a human being.

After washing up, Su Yang went for a jog to the office.

When he arrived at the company, Chu Xia was not there. ‘This girl’s probably too tired from playing last night and is still sleeping. I pray that her mother won’t lift her blanket and shout at her to wake her up.’

After praying, or rather, “cursing” for Chu Xia, Su Yang went to his office and started reading.

After reading for the entire morning, Chu Xia still did not come. Hence, Su Yang was a little worried that she might have broken her leg again, so he sent her a WeChat message to ask how she was.

Chu Xia replied very quickly, saying that she had had too much fun last night and was not feeling too well that morning, so she was not going to the office and would head straight to dinner.

Su Yang expressed his understanding. After all, he had personally verified that Chu Xia was on her period.

It was just that it was the last two days of the cycle and the quantity was relatively low, so Chu Xia dared to play with Su Yang.

However, during a period like this, it was inevitable that a girl’s body would be weaker. This was a given, so it was normal for Chu Xia to feel uncomfortable that day.

Since Chu Xia wasn’t in the office, Su Yang didn’t feel like staying in the office. Hence, after staying for a while, he wanted to go home.

In the end, he packed his things and was about to slip away when someone came looking for him.

“Mr. Su, someone outside said that the director of the Xinli Education’s legal department is looking for you.”

Looking at the receptionist’s pretty face, Su Yang was stunned. Then, he asked, “Xinli Education? He’s looking for me?”

The receptionist stood at the door and nodded cutely. “Yes, Mr. Su. He said that he’s looking for you.”

Su Yang hesitated for a moment. Even though he had no idea what Xinli Education was up to, he still said, “Alright, let him in.”

“Okay.” The receptionist smiled sweetly and turned to leave the office.

The moment she turned around, Su Yang added, “Wait.”

The receptionist turned around and looked at Su Yang curiously. “What’s wrong, Mr. Su?”

Su Yang said, “Have Mr. Zhao come to my office too.”

“Okay.”

Shortly after, Zhao Licheng arrived at Su Yang’s office.

After a while, the receptionist brought a middle-aged man in a suit to Su Yang’s office.

Su Yang had seen that man before. He was one of the “lawyers” who followed Cao Qiguang at the entrance of the police station. ‘I didn’t expect that he’s the director of Xinli Education’s legal department.

Su Yang took a glance at Zhao Licheng, who clearly knew this person’s identity. Then, he explained softly to Su Yang, “He used to be the Deputy Director of Xinli Education’s legal department and is Cao Qiguang’s direct descendant. He is indeed a professional in law.”

Su Yang nodded.

When he reached the office, the man bowed to Su Yang and said, “Good afternoon, Mr. Su.”

Su Yang did not stand up but nodded. “Hello. Why are you here?”

The man said, “I’m here this time on behalf of Mr. Cao of Xinli Education. He’s asked me to come here to make peace with you.”

Su Yang was shocked.

‘Make peace with me?

‘Doesn’t seem like Cao Qiguang’s style, does it?

‘Even though Cao Qiguang and myself have only interacted a few times, based on Zhao Licheng’s gossip and Cao Qiguang’s subsequent actions, I’ve determined that Cao Qiguang is a petty person who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.

‘Yet, now, he’s taken the initiative to come and make peace with me?

‘Has the sun risen from the west today?’

While Su Yang was still in shock, Zhao Licheng, who was standing beside him, frowned slightly. Clearly, even he could not understand Cao Qiguang’s sudden change in attitude.

Seeing that neither of them believed him, the man smiled and said, “I have Mr. Cao’s personal letter here. You can take a look at it.”

As he said that, he took out an envelope from his briefcase before walking forward and placed it on the desk. Then, he reached out his hand, to which Su Yang received the letter and opened it.

historical

The content of the letter was that Cao Qiguang thought that there was a misunderstanding between the two of them and that there was no need to cause the matter to worsen. Hence, he hoped that they could become friends.

When Su Yang was reading the letter, the man added, “Mr. Cao wanted to meet you personally, but he has been busy with work recently and needs to travel around the country, so he doesn’t have time. Thus, he could only send me here to meet you instead.”

Su Yang blinked but did not say anything. Instead, he merely passed the letter to Zhao Licheng.

After Zhao Licheng read it, he whispered, “It’s his handwriting.”

‘Things were getting interesting now...’

After all, Su Yang had [Space Traversing Eyes], so he could see through a person’s thoughts.

Ever since the man entered the room, everything he said was the truth, plus there was a hint of sincerity in his words. This was also the reason why Su Yang easily believed him and was puzzled. ‘Is it really possible that Cao Qiguang is really here to seek peace?

‘If that’s the case, it’d be reasonable for him to be busy and can’t be here personally.

‘But... The interesting thing is that this man’s last sentence was a lie.

‘This means that Cao Qiguang isn’t that busy. So, he has the time, but doesn’t want to see me himself, so he’s sent his trusted aide to meet me instead.

‘Hmm... He doesn’t want to meet me, but wants to make peace with me?

‘Why though?

‘Is he showing his weakness so that I’d let my guard down and later catch me off guard?

‘Cao Qiguang must have an unspeakable secret.’

Just as Su Yang was wondering what Cao Qiguang was planning, the director of the legal department spoke again as he took out an iPad before passing it to Su Yang. “You may have a look at this video first.”
