Chapter 227: Foxy Little Four

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Firstly, the Liu Family was as equally rich and powerful as their Xiao Family; secondly, they could see that Liu Chengyu really liked Xiao Rou a lot, so he wouldn’t treat her badly after they got married; thirdly, Xi Luoxian and Liu Gonghua were on good terms with Lin Ru. Xiao Rou needn’t worry about how to get along with Liu Chengyu’s family after she married into the Liu Family. Why couldn’t they figure this out?

Did they think he chose Liu Chengyu for Xiao Rou merely because the Liu Family was rich? To be honest, it was Rourou who would marry Liu Chengyu. What benefits would he get? He did this for his daughter’s good!

To be honest, he did have ulterior motives before, but after so many things happened, he just wanted to see Xiao Rou have a good future!

She was twenty-three years old, but she was still in high school. Although they had no problem with this, the people looking on in from outside would definitely gossip about her.

Xiao Hongyi was frustrated and at this moment in time Tang Xi wasn’t in a better mood than him. When she saw the dark circles under Qiao Liang’s eyes, she immediately got angry. “Didn’t you sleep last night?”

Qiao Liang started the car and said, “It’s okay. I’ll send you to the school first.”

“It’s not okay!” Tang Xi glared at Qiao Liang and said with frustration, “How can you come over to pick me up since you didn’t sleep last night? Don’t you know it’s dangerous to drive when fatigued? What if you have a car accident?”

“I’ll be fine.” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi. Perhaps he was glad that Tang Xi was concerned about him and there was a faint smile on his face. “I once didn’t sleep for three days and nights, but I didn’t have any car accidents, so don’t worry.”

“How can I be free from worry?!” Tang Xi glared at him and said seriously, “I’ll take you to a hotel nearby when you arrive at the school. Get a room and sleep there.”

“No.”

Tang Xi stared at him and Qiao Liang said, “I can’t fall asleep without you. I can sleep in my company. Let me send you to your school first.”

Tang Xi was so angry that she didn’t want to talk with him. Looking out of the window at the view, she refused to look at Qiao Liang. Seeing her turn her face away, Qiao Liang smiled. “Don’t be angry. I’m too busy recently. I worked too late last night, so I drank a lot of coffee and couldn’t fall asleep. Nowadays, I sleep much better than before.”

“You liar.” Tang Xi’s eyes became red. She asked herself, “Why did you bother to mind this?” in her heart and tried to hold back her tears. It had been quite a while before she said to Qiao Liang, “Don’t go to your company after you send me to school. Go home right away. I’ll go to your home by taxi after school.”

Qiao Liang looked deeply at Tang Xi, took Tang Xi’s hand and said in a low voice, “Don’t be angry. I’ll have Gu Yun pick me up after I send you to the school. I won’t drive myself. Don’t worry.”

Tang Xi was finally felt some relief at hearing this. She curled her lips. “Have you had breakfast?”

Qiao Liang answered, “I’ll ask Gu Yun to buy me some food on the way and I’ll eat some in the car.”

Gu Yun, who was sitting in his office and almost buried by piles of files, suddenly sneezed. He pulled out a tissue and wiped his nose. At this time, a man sitting beside him teasingly said, “Little Yun, which girl is missing you? Look at you. You’ve been working overtime for days and haven’t finished your work yet. Did you forget a date with a girl? Do you need me to go to the date in your place?”

“Get out!” Gu Yun kicked at the man’s chair and kicked him away, pulling out another tissue and wiping his nose. “I’ll ask Young Master for a pay raise. If he refuses, I won’t do so many different tasks! F*ck!”

The man said, “You should blame yourself. You chose Young Master instead of Seventh Young Master. Now you know how cruel Young Master can be?” With that, he smiled slyly. “But able men are always busy. We were transferred here as elites, but now we can only sit idle here. We really envy you for being so busy.”

Gu Yun glanced at that man with a smile and suddenly threw a pile of files that were in front of him towards that man, saying coldly, “You’re not allowed to have lunch if you don’t finish processing these files.” He then looked up at the others and said harshly, “If any of you dare bring Little Black any food, I’ll make him stay hungry forever! Do you hear me?”

The others answered at the same time, “Yes, Mr. Four!”

Little Black immediately surrendered and begged for forgiveness. “Mr. Four, I was wrong. Mr. Four, hit me! Kick me! Hit me to death! But please don’t do this to me! I can’t go without food! I can’t stand being hungry! Please!”

Gu Yun smiled. “Didn’t you just call me Little Yun? Mr. Big, how dare I hit you?”

Little Black pulled a long face. “Mr. Four, I was truly wrong. Please forgive me!” He could deal with these files. He could do anything, but he couldn’t stand hunger! Something suddenly occurred to Little Black and his eyes lit up. He volunteered, “Mr. Four, how about this? I’ll deal with all the files on your desk for you. Please let me have meal!”

Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, looked at the mountainous files on the desk and said flatly, “All of them!”

Little Black looked at the files, swallowed his saliva, and finally nodded after struggling hard with himself in his heart for a long time. “Alright! As long as I can eat!”

Gu Yun smiled and raised his eyebrows. “Deal.” He then looked at the long-faced Little Black. “You’re such an able person. I believe you can finish the job tonight. I trust you, Little Black.”

Little Black felt as if lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet. At this time, Little Five came in. When he saw Gu Yun smiling cunningly and Little Black pulling a long face, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yun. “Little Four, what’s up?”

Gu Yun smiled. “Nothing. Little Black is in such a good mood that he vows to finish all these files tonight. I just give him a chance to show his ability.”

The corner of Little Five’s eyes twitched and he looked at Little Black. Little Black almost burst into tears. “I’ll never ever tease Mr. Four again! I swear!”

Little Five laughed. “I knew not to do it since many years ago. Did you not know of this fact only until now?” With that, he took a look at Gu Yun. “Gu Yun looks harmless, but you’ll definitely regret it if you offend him. You’re too naive. Kids, get smart. Don’t make the same mistake again.”

Gu Yun smiled and didn’t speak. Little Black said bitterly, “Can anybody subdue him?”

“Yes.”

“Who is it?”

Little Five smiled. “Young Master.”
