Chapter 803: Untitled
“You’re daddy’s darling daughter, after all.” He casually completed the statement.
Xunuo raised her eyebrows happily and her eyes became even brighter. Ye Ningyuan beckoned her over, and she happily jumped into his embrace without saying anything and sat on his leg. He was taken aback and slightly embarrassed since he only wanted her to come over so that they could talk to each other. She looked at him with her big eyes, seemingly accusing him of his negligence.
“Xunuo, would you want to get a chair over here and sit on it? You’ll be uncomfortable if you sit on Daddy’s legs.” Ye Ningyuan felt very uncomfortable as he was rarely this up and close with women. He would normally hug Xu Xing, but that was not something he was uncomfortable with, considering it’s often out of formality. But An Xunuo…
An Xunuo shook her head and said, “Please. I really like it when Daddy hugs me. Remember how you would carry me and run around when I sat on your neck? There were also times I rode you like a horse.”
Ye Ningyuan secretly cursed. ‘Michael, just how f***ing much did you dote on her?’
“But you’ve grown up, and Daddy can’t carry you anymore.”
“Nonsense! Daddy can lift such a heavy rock so easily!” An Xunuo made an exaggerated gesture. He was at a loss as to how to respond to her childlike mannerisms. She nestled her fragrant, freshly-showered self in his embrace, and she even naughtily adjusted herself while incessantly picking up documents and asking him what they were.
She rubbed her little head in his embrace. Ye Ningyuan was exceptionally calm and forbearing. While his thoughts were inevitably running wild, thanks to a mature woman leaning into the hot-blooded him and seducing him unknowingly, any non-response on his part would be abnormal.
Sweat beaded on his forehead, and his relaxed body became tense. His pitch-black eyes became slightly darker. He really admired how he was able to explain to Xunuo all the indecipherable text on the document.
He carefully adjusted the woman in his embrace lest she figure out something was amiss. She, however, seemed to be working against him. She leaned back and tightly nestled herself in his embrace.
His muscles were so tense. Just as he was about to get her to get up, Green Dragon, carrying a bag of books, suddenly entered. As he entered, he said, “Big Boss, Little Yang found—uh…”
Green Dragon stopped in his steps. When he entered, he happened to see An Xunuo snuggling in their boss’ embrace as the latter carefully hugged her and cared for her as though she were some treasure that he could not bear to hurt. Their big boss seemed to be enduring something. Green Dragon, a guy, knew well what was going on. He was shocked at how his boss did have a response toward women…
Since he had no homosexual tendencies, he was safe. He was safe…
Since Ye Ningyuan was not one who got intimate with women, save Xu Xing whom he treated like a younger sister, nobody saw him get intimate with any women and people were guessing whether their boss had any special fetishes…
Little did he expect…
All was good.
To see Ye Ningyuan like this left Green Dragon gratified to the point he had no qualms losing a year’s worth of wages even as he went downstairs to beckon them to review the complete surveillance footage. A creepy smile broke out on Green Dragon’s face.
An Xunuo, seeing some stranger, did not speak and looked at him coldly. Green Dragon said, “Young lady, I had to go out in the middle of the night to buy books for you. Surely you don’t have to treat me so differently?”
Ye Ningyuan had also long noticed how An Xunuo treated him differently from everybody else. She was still cold and spoke little to everybody else. Bai Ye’s explanation was that his voice was the last voice she had heard before she blacked out.
“Drop the books and f*** off.”
“Yes, yes, yes…” Green Dragon profusely acknowledged and retreated to the door before peeking in and smiled teasingly. “Boss, she’s a juvenile, so you may want to think twice.”
Finished saying that, he disappeared in a flash.
An Xunuo was confused. “What did he say?”
Ye Ningyuan gently smiled and said, “Just ignore him and read whatever you like. If you don’t like any of these, I can buy them again.”
“Yay!” An Xunuo happily leaped off his leg and he heaved a long sigh of relief. Green Dragon’s words reminded him that Xunuo was a child at heart, and to think he…
His emotions were visible from his eyes. This was his first time being aroused by a woman… It was not the first. When he danced the Tango with her that night, he… Damn it! He attributed it to a regular biological phenomenon. Any healthy, hot-blooded young man would not be able to withstand such agony.
He did not feel this way toward…
“Daddy, are all these books mine?” Xunuo waved the Grimms’ Fairy Tales book in her hands.
Ye Ningyuan nodded. As his sexual desire faded, he was much more at ease and smiled. “Do you want to sit down there and do your reading? Daddy will be busy.”
“Sure!”
An Xunuo carried the books to the couch and took them out. Green Dragon’s men bought her over ten books that were either children’s stories or fairy tales. An Xunuo enjoyed reading them, and she occasionally smiled. She was good enough to not pester Ye Ningyuan.
Half an hour later, she carefully stood up, wore her slippers, and quietly slipped out of the study room. Ye Ningyuan looked up in slightly bewilderment when he saw her bring a blanket over, curled up in the blanket, and read on the sofa.
The group of them watching the surveillance footage downstairs looked at each other, speechless. “It ended like that? He didn’t take her and do her?” Black Tortoise was bewildered.
Rosefinch shook her head. “Big Boss’ response is classic! Let’s screenshot this.”
“Relax. Every day An Xunuo remains here is an additional opportunity.”
“Bingo!”
White Tiger blinked naughtily. “Green Dragon, you sure chose the worst possible time to bring the books up.”
If he were a few minutes later, he would wager, with his head, that Ye Ningyuan would definitely kiss An Xunuo. They clearly knew that their boss was a master at forbearance. He suppressed his desire to the point he sweated buckets and his veins throbbed.
“I think so too.” Green Dragon felt exceptionally conflicted.
Had he long known, he would have gone up later.
White Tiger plainly said, “It actually does not take much to see our boss get into the action. How Rosefinch convinces him is the key.”
“When did it become my business?”
“You’re the only lady present! If you could have a word or two with Miss Ophelia and teach her how to cultivate ‘father-daughter relationship’… Hehe… You get it, don’t you?” White Tiger said with a straight face.
“You’re too scheming!” The three of them threw him disdainful looks in unison, yet they wanted to try their luck.
Rosefinch was in a bind.
“Hey, she was originally here to kill our boss. You sure that’s okay?” Xuanwu said.
“Please be a bit more aware, will you? Have you seen our boss dote on anybody this much? When did you see him go to war for a woman? And when have you seen him get somebody to do something as childish as buy children’s books in the dead of night?”
