I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 63 Lots of couples do tha

Meanwhile in Scarlet Hill.

When Luo Xiaolei woke up, Yu Chen was no longer in the bed. The little buns were still sleeping so she rose quietly.

She stretched her arms and then she yawned.

Luo Xiaolei looked around the spacious room, scanning every corner of it. She didn’t have the chance to survey the room last night but now that she was paying attention to all the details inside, Luo Xiaolei was somewhat impressed.

The walls were painted simply, mostly in white, with black and gray lining. There were no decorations hanging on the walls. There was a gray toned sofa by the window, two small wooden night stands near the bed, and the curtains covering the floor to ceiling windows were thick and white.

Looking at the thick curtains, Luo Xiaolei wondered if Yu Chen just changed them yesterday because from what she knew about him, this room should’ve been covered with dark curtains; she could even bet that the color was black.

And then, nothing. No TV, no books. Well, she saw his huge study containing everything a man of his caliber probably needed so she wasn’t surprised at not seeing any of those things inside his room. She could only deduce that Yu Chen was the type who would only enter his bedroom only to sleep.

Luo Xiaolei also headed to the changing room and Yu Chen’s wardrobe was as expected; manly and perfect. She could only whistle in amazement. She didn’t even know how to describe it. She could already tell what was inside those drawers even without looking. She didn’t open anything to have a peek so she didn’t see that more than half of the wardrobe was actually empty, and it looked like it was purposely left that way.

After her little morning tour, Luo Xiaolei finally went downstairs and an old man that seemed to be the butler greeted her with a warm smile.

"Good morning, Young Miss. I’m the butler here. I am Meng Rong. Very pleased to meet you."

"Good morning Mr. Meng, nice to meet you, too."

"Would you like to have your breakfast now?" he asked, politely but Luo Xiaolei shook her head as she smiled back at him.

"Thank you but I will wait for the kids to wake up."

"I see. Then, how about tea? Or coffee?"

"Uhm... please don’t bother. I’ll go to the kitchen myself if I need anything. Actually, I have been living alone for many years so I am not used being served. Hehe."

"I understand, Young Miss."

"Thank you. Uhm... did Yu Chen already leave?"

"Yes Miss, he left early for work."

"Oh, I see." Luo Xiaolei’s voice went soft. She may not have noticed it herself but she sounded a bit disappointed knowing that Yu Chen already left.

She turned her head to look outside and stared through the glass windows and then she walked towards the door and stood by the entrance. As she looked at the garden, something out there seemed to have caught her eye.

Curious, she moved towards the flower beds.

"Oh, no! Mr. Meng! The flowers are withering!"

she exclaimed, and the butler who just came out immediately approached her.

Luo Xiaolei was pointing at the withering flowers but when the old man saw them, an awkward smile carved on his lips.

"The soil is wet but why are they withering?" Luo Xiaolei asked. She seemed to be confused and bothered by the plants so the old butler started explaining.

"The truth is these flowers were just planted yesterday. This garden was originally filled with green plants that don’t bloom. So that’s why these flowers look like they are withering." He explained and Luo Xiaolei was surprised. Did Yu Chen ask them to plant these because of her?

"Eh? H-he asked these to be planted?!"

"Yes Miss. I think the young master was afraid that you’d think his home was rather bland and boring."

Luo Xiaolei’s eyes circled the moment she heard him. She blinked multiple times and then she returned her gaze to the flowers.

"I hope you don’t find this place boring, young Miss." The old man chuckled and Luo Xiaolei smiled as she shook her head.

"No. To be honest, this is not the place I expected him to live in but it’s really beautiful and quiet here. It’s a lovely place."

"I’m really glad to hear that, Miss Luo."

Luo Xiaolei and the butler continued chatting with each other, talking about the place until the twins woke up.

The trio ate their breakfast and then Guan Ye drove them to town.

However, when they arrived at her apartment, she was taken aback when Guan Ye told her that her family’s guards are there, obviously waiting for her.

"Miss, shall I drive them away?" Guan Ye’s voice echoed inside the car and Luo Xiaolei looked at him with a questioning look. This man, who was assigned as their driver, somehow looked friendlier than the Gu Jinyang she met yesterday. He had a look worthy to be called a hunk but Luo Xiaolei observed that he was also child friendly. He even managed to befriend Little Rui within just a short time.

"Huh? How are you going to do that?"

"I’ll fight them and then you go upstairs. The twins will stay here waiting for us." After hearing the man’s plan, a huge invisible sweat drop fell from Luo Xiaolei’s forehead. Er... what? You want to fight them?! Are Yu Chen’s guards always like this? Dealing with everything through physical fights?

...

Back inside Yu Chen’s office...

"Gu Jinyang."

As soon as Yu Chen uttered Gu Jinyang’s name, the man immediately knew what he needed to do and rushed out of the door.

"Sir, please wait!" he said. When the old man ignored him, Gu Jinyang quickened his pace and blocked the old man’s path by standing before him.

"Gu Jinyang, get out of the way. This talk is over." The old man’s gaze was sharp but despite his intimidating look, Gu Jinyang didn’t even flinch and just stood before him like a rock mountain, determined not to move.

"I’m sorry, sir."

"Sigh... Gu Jinyang, I know that every bit of your loyalty is dedicated to Yu Chen alone but you have to be on my side when it comes to this issue. Of all people, you are the one who knows best what’s at stake here!" The old man’s voice was getting colder. His calmness deteriorated as desperation started to spread across his eyes.

"I understand where you’re coming from, sir, but... I learned my lesson a long time ago. I will never go against his wish. I’m sure you already know that I will always follow whatever that he decides."

The old man’s sour face slowly turned calm as soon as he heard Gu Jinyang say the words ’I learned my lesson’. The old man stared at his eyes and he could only give in. He should’ve known that this person would never listen to him again. He couldn’t even get angry at him because he knew the extent of Gu Jinyang’s loyalty to Yu Chen.

"Sigh... there are times when you need to make a move without his consent. You are older than him, so you should know what the best thing is for him to do. You can’t be lenient all the time. You’re not his puppet; you are his right hand. I’m sure you understand what I mean." The old man’s tone became serious but Gu Jinyang didn’t respond anymore and by that point, Yu Chen had caught up them.

When Yu Chen finally stood before his grandfather, Gu Jinyang quickly moved back. He leaned on the wall as he watched the duo who were now in a glaring contest.

"Grandfather, you’re already old." Yu Chen started and the old man scoffed.

"Did you forget who am I? Let me remind you, my cheeky grandson. I’m the emperor of the business world." The old man said, proudly but those words seemed to have no effect to Yu Chen at all.

"That was five years ago."

"Hah! So what? Years are just numbers, my grandson."

"If I suddenly step down, won’t the enemies start to suspect that something might have happened to me? They might even think that I’m ill. Once they think like that, they will relentlessly attack to find out. They will see my absence as a chance."

"You don’t have to worry about that, I will announce that you, the great CEO of YU Empire finally found the love of your life and will be going for a month long honeymoon. No one will suspect anything if that’s the case and it’s the truth! Everyone knows that our main concern is producing an heir after all."

". . . grandfather, she just became my fiancée, not my wife."

"This is why I’m sending you home, you punk! Go home and make her your wife! Well, you can make babies first before marriage. Lots of couples do that."
