Chapter 187

"Yinyin?" Fan Ziruo exclaimed softly. In her memory, He Yunxiao and Du Yinyin had no previous contact, so why were they suddenly in touch? "What does the Young Master want with Yinyin?" He Yunxiao, being clever, first asked Fan Ziruo how she felt instead of disclosing the reasons behind it. "Can Ziruo lend her to me?" He Yunxiao, being conscious of the sensitive nature of the request, asked with a hint of desperation. Fan Ziruo, with a wry smile, replied, "Yinyin is Yinyin, she is my sister, not my possession. I don't have the final say. You should ask her yourself." He Yunxiao thought to himself: If I ask myself, it means she's agreeing. He Yunxiao was aware of Fan Ziruo's capabilities. Instead of making her guess, he decided to provide a proactive explanation. "I've recently opened a store in the North Business Street. We still need a store manager. Originally, I wanted Ziruo to go, but I know you prefer peace and quiet, and that street is too noisy, so I didn't ask you. Yinyin, your sister, is a trustworthy person, and she has a cold temperament, able to deal with difficult people. So, I thought of asking her to help manage the business." Initially, Fan Ziruo felt a bit uncomfortable, given that her "fiancé" didn't seek her help for his store, choosing someone else instead. However, after hearing his explanation, she felt indebted to him. Fan Ziruo said, "Young Master, go and ask Yinyin yourself." Then kindly added, "My sister has a cold nature, if she says anything unpleasant, don't take it to heart." Although he received Fan Ziruo's approval, He Yunxiao didn't dare to leave immediately, instead lingered around her for a while, only departing when prompted. He Yunxiao had considered letting Fan Ziruo manage the bank for him. In reality, the reason of the "noisy street" wasn't the primary concern. The main reason was that the money from the bank was used to build influence and suppress the “Arena”. The original purpose of opening the bank was to rescue Jiang Jiejie. And Fan Ziruo, as well as Chuchu, were the "engines" of the "Arena". Making Fan Ziruo manage the bank would be like handing over New Year's money to her parents, with no possibility of getting it back. It had to be Yinyin. He Yunxiao found Du Yinyin's room without much difficulty. Knock knock. "Sister, wait a moment,” Du Yinyin's voice came from inside the room. After a moment, the sound emerged again. "Sister, didn't you have plans to accompany your lover this morning and write a novel? How come..." As the door opened, Du Yinyin didn't see the sister with a similar figure to hers. Instead, she saw a man's chin, then looked up... He Yunxiao made eye contact with the beautiful woman in front of him, then smiled and said, "Yinyin, don't you want to invite me in?" Du Yinyin blushed slightly and stepped aside, somewhat embarrassed, saying, "Young Master, come in quickly." He Yunxiao walked into the room, sniffing the faint orchid fragrance within the room, then involuntarily glanced around at the place where the previous battle had occurred. Sadly, he found no traces of the fight. Du Yinyin led He Yunxiao to the tea table and poured him a cup of tea. "Young Master, have some tea." After He Yunxiao took a sip and saw Du Yinyin still standing by, he said, "Yinyin, don't stand, sit down quickly. I have something to talk to you about." With He Yunxiao's permission, Du Yinyin sat next to him. "Yinyin." "Mm." "I want you to do me a favor." Du Yinyin didn't hesitate and replied, "Alright." He Yunxiao: "..." "Don't rush to agree, listen to what I have to say first." Du Yinyin gently shook her head, indicating that He Yunxiao didn't need to explain. "Yinyin trusts Young Master." He Yunxiao watched as Du Yinyin's charming words softly seeped into his ears, then reminded himself to stay focused and reward himself later. "Cough, Yinyin, let me first explain what it is that I want you to do..." He Yunxiao briefly introduced the current situation of the Daqi Bank and explained that her task was to be the public face of the bank, essentially playing a decorative role on his behalf. In general, terms like "decorative" and "public face" were used to describe puppets, but Du Yinyin's situation was different. She was a "family member" related to He Yunxiao and, eventually, the bank would become jointly owned by the married couple. Furthermore, with her capabilities, she could handle the job even if she were to genuinely take charge. Although it seemed like asking Du Yinyin to act as a proxy, it was, in fact, granting her ownership of a large company in the future. However, Du Yinyin didn't think about these details. She readily agreed since it was Young Master's request. "Alright." After discussing the matter at hand, He Yunxiao began to have some lascivious thoughts. As a young man in his twenties, there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Nevertheless, He Yunxiao was not in a hurry. Even though Du Yinyin was kind and obedient, he felt the need to play a little, as being too direct might seem like he had never been around women before. After taking a sip of tea, He Yunxiao marveled, "Yinyin, how did you make this sweet tea? It tastes good." Du Yinyin was perplexed. Sweet tea? "Young Master, this is Longjing tea, not sweet tea," she explained. He Yunxiao, feeling puzzled, said, "But it tastes sweet, try some." He handed the tea cup to Du Yinyin, who observed the slight redness of the area where He Yunxiao had sipped, but she restrained herself from acting similarly to what He Chunxiao had done to Chuchu. She delicately sipped a mouthful of the tea. "Is it sweet?" He Yunxiao asked. Du Yinyin shook her head. Subsequently, He Yunxiao got up, approached Du Yinyin, and then, leaning down, he attempted to taste the non-sweet tea from her. Du Yinyin's closed, pink lips stiffened for a moment, then loosened, and resistance crumbled before He Yunxiao's advances. She looked up, closed her eyes, ready to yield. Despite only initially tasting a mouthful of tea, Du Yinyin was forced to concede and allow He Yunxiao to drink two mouthfuls of the sweet tea she had in her mouth. "Yinyin, is the tea sweet?" He Yunxiao inquired. It was clear that Du Yinyin fully understood He Yunxiao's intentions. She nodded gently. With that, He Yunxiao raised the cup of tea and drank a mouthful, finding it unusually bitter. "So bitter. I'd like some sweet tea instead." Du Yinyin was clever and realized He Yunxiao's intentions. She picked up the tea and took a sip. "Master, the tea is no longer sweet," Du Yinyin's lips were glossy as she breathed slightly heavily. He Yunxiao wasn’t playing games. "What do you mean it's gone? Didn't you still have some?" Du Yinyin, with her hands resting on He Yunxiao's shoulders, whispered, "Master… Mmm… Ah…" He Yunxiao restrained himself, but his eyes hinted that he wasn't going to let Du Yinyin off that easily, indulging himself. During the intermission, Du Yinyin leaned against He Yunxiao's body. "Master, are you uncomfortable?" He Yunxiao was indeed uncomfortable and asked, surprised, "How did you know, Yinyin?" Blushing, Du Yinyin said, "Master’s situation, Yinyin has known for a while." He Yunxiao felt a bit embarrassed, realizing that Yinyin, who had been sitting on his lap, probably felt it and was too shy to say anything. Du Yinyin got up, crouched down, and knelt on the floor. "Master, don't move," she said, looking up at He Yunxiao. Chapter 188: Master, Don't Move Tl: Soothsayer.io
