Because I Cannot Hurt You

The Annual Business Summit started at seven PM and businessmen from all around the cities parked their lavish Porsche and Lamborghinis as they stepped into the luxurious hall.

Everybody's eyes were on the Han, Zhu and the Liang families. The small to medium-sized companies entrepreneurs were eager and also nervous to finally meet. Everybody was going to take their chance in winning a score to work with them.

"Damn it, I am so nervous. I am prepared to meet Mr. Han Zhiyuan and have even practiced what to say, but ughhh!! I think I have forgotten my speech wuwu…"

One of the young entrepreneurs wiped his forehead covered in sweat. "You know that Mr. Xu Liang is so stern? I have heard rumors of how he frequently lashes out at his assistant. He is a difficult man to work with."

"It's the same with Mr. Zhu Xiaosi! I have opened my tech firm and it would be gold if he agreed to invest in my company. But I have heard that it is not easy to please him at all."

And just like that, rumors floated of the three demons who everybody feared to approach. They gulped, imagining their figures step in with cold and icy expressions. Their stern gaze would drive everybody off with just one sharp glance.

"Damn it, your son is walking too close to my daughter, Zhiyuan!" Liang complained.

"Will you stop it, Liang?" Ah Cy sighed.

Zhiyuan dryly said, "If they move any further than this, they would need cell phones to talk, Liang."

"Fine by me!" His nostrils flared. He glared at Xiaosi. "You traitor! Why aren't you helping me? You said that Chyou and Leina will be safe in their girl group!"

Xiaosi's mouth twitched. "It was your idea, not mine."

Liang whined. "You agreed to it!"

Zhiyuan was speechless. "You wanted to isolate my son? How cruel of you, Liang!"

Xinyi and Caihong chose not to step in their petty fights and just focus on their kids. Similarly, the kids' trio completely disregarded Liang's complaining and whining. 

Leina eagerly hopped up and down. "See? Dada bwing new dress!"

It was a cute, frilly pink dress.

Chyou's eyes gleamed and she shyly said, "Dada bought a new dress for me too!"

She twirled and giggled. Siying nodded hard and clapped. "Pretty!"

Caihong bent and grinned. "Hehe... Siying is looking so handsome today~~ You are just like a miniature Zhiyuan."

Siying furiously blushed and twiddled with his fingers, his cheeks burning red. He hid behind Xinyi's legs and buried his face. Xinyi chuckled. "Why are you hiding? Aunt is complimenting you. What should you say when someone says a nice thing to you?"

Siying slowly peeked out and shyly said, "Thank you, Aunt…"

Caihong laughed. "So cute!"

Leina and Chyou giggled. "Siying is cute."

Liang clutched his chest in pain. "Ah Cy...did you see? Did you just see that!?"

Ah Cy rolled her eyes. "What is there to see?"

"She called him cute! That means she likes him! That means she wants to marry him!"

Zhiyuan - "..."

"You really hate Siying, don't you?"

He indignantly said, "Of course, I cannot hate an innocent kid like him. He is just a child."

His mouth twitched.

"But I hate it when he gets closer to Leina! I won't ever allow that!" He glared at Zhiyuan. "He is bewitching my innocent daughter."

Xiaosi sighed. "You are so childish."

The others were dumbfounded as they speechlessly stared at the three supposed "demons" fighting like kids. They questioned if they were really adults or not.

Are they really the CEO of the prestigious companies that we heard about?

They expected to see a dangerous aura but here...

One of the entrepreneurs who had talked about how terrifying Liang was dared to approach them. "U-Um…"

Liang turned and raised his brow. "Oh!! Aren't you the one who has just started the Star Pharmacy chain? Bo Jing, right?"

Bo Jing's mouth dropped wide open. "Y-you know about me?"

"Of course, I do. I have my eye on every budding business in the medical field hahaha! I was going to talk to you today but great that you came here yourself," he nodded.

He wanted to faint.

The CEO of Xu Pharmaceuticals wanted to meet me!?

"Y-You are nothing like the rumors say…"

Liang curiously said, "What do rumors say about me?"

He nervously said, "That you are a tyrant and often lash out at your assistant."

"That is true!"

Bo Jing stiffened.

"I just want to spend some lovely time with my angelic daughter, but he always drags me to those boring meetings and interrupts my date! The assistant deserves a cut in his salary."

"..."

The poor assistant!

Zhiyuan smiled. "At this point, you should just make him the CEO. Don't you hang around in the Han Corps all the time? He doesn't deserve a cut, rather a direct promotion to the CEO's position."

Xiaosi chuckled. "I have specifically asked my security not to let Mr. Xu Liang enter S3."

Liang was heartbroken. "You two! Can't buddies meet and have some fun together?"

Ah Cy smacked him hard. "It is a problem when you only have fun and slack at work!"

The tense atmosphere in the Summit hall instantly relaxed with their presence.

"Dad!"

Caihong beamed on seeing An Guoting. He smiled and hugged her. "Caihong. And there is my Chyou."

"Grandpa!" Chyou hugged his leg and brightly smiled. 

"Aiya my granddaughter is so beautiful."

She blushed.

Xinyi politely smiled and nodded. An Guoting slightly nodded back.

"By the way, did you see Shuang?"

Caihong blinked her eyes. "Shuang is here too?"

"Yup. She plans to collaborate with more tech firms for her company."

"Oh, that's good!"

"But I cannot see her anywhere," he sighed. "Don't tell me she is dozing off somewhere…"

"I am not dozing off, Dad…" Shuang rolled her eyes.

An Guoting coughed. "My bad."

Caihong smiled. "It's been a long time. You said you would drop by my home once, but you didn't," she pouted.

"Ah…" Shuang faintly smiled. "I was just... figuring things out…" she whispered.
