Chapter 289 - 287: Evil Capitalist

"Lin Yingqiu, the one who came to you twice before—Madam Zhou."

Xu Qian glanced down at the appointment records on her phone. This woman was undoubtedly a top-tier client. Although she didn’t visit often, she spent a small fortune every time.

Yang Xun also remembered her. She was the first client he had ever served. He only found out later that Lin Yingqiu wasn’t Zhou Yuan’s mother, but his older brother’s wife. Like Xu Yue, she was a formidable businesswoman who managed her company’s operations, which was why she was always so busy. She had only been here twice; today would be her third visit.

During her first visit, Lin Yingqiu had sought treatment for postpartum issues—sagging breasts and loose skin. By her second visit, her condition had improved drastically, and she had even opted for some special services. Hearing that the client was Lin Yingqiu, Yang Xun immediately braced himself, giving the appointment his utmost attention.

"She’s been incredibly busy lately. The fact that she squeezed in some time just to see you means she highly approves of your work," Xu Qian said, patting his shoulder. "Do your best."

Yang Xun agreed and turned to prepare the room. He quickly tidied up the lounge, changed the sheets on the massage bed, and laid out the essential oils and fresh towels. Then, he sat by the bed and waited.

Time ticked by. It was already ten o’clock, but no one had walked through the door. Yang Xun took out his phone to check the time, frowning slightly.

Ten minutes later, Xu Qian called. Her voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction. "Lin Yingqiu’s side just called. She said a last-minute emergency meeting came up, so she can’t make it. She asked to reschedule for another day."

"Alright." Yang Xun put down his phone and leaned back in his chair. He had rushed all the way over here today, only to get stood up by the client at the last minute. Still, it wasn’t a total loss. It was rare to have some free time, so he could go home and spend it with Xu Yue.

He was just about to get up and change his clothes when the lounge door was suddenly pushed open. Xu Qian stood in the doorway with her phone in hand, raising an eyebrow at him. "Since your morning client canceled, you don’t have anything else to do, right?"

"I’m planning to go home and rest."

"What do you mean, go home? We should start a livestream right now! Don’t you want to make money?" Xu Qian walked in and casually shut the door behind her, her tone carrying an unquestionable sense of entitlement. "Those wealthy women in the chat room have been hounding me every day like their lives depend on it. Since you finally have half a day off, this is the perfect time to satisfy their cravings."

"You wicked capitalist." Yang Xun couldn’t help but laugh at her serious, calculating demeanor. "I was just about to go back and keep your sister company, and you had to ruin it."

"You keep her company every single day. Missing half a day won’t hurt. Besides..." Xu Qian took a step closer, lowering her voice as her sweet breath brushed against him. "Don’t you want to try out a new theme?"

Yang Xun looked into her sparkling peach-blossom eyes, feeling like there was a rather inappropriate idea hiding behind them. "What’s the new theme this time?"

Xu Qian blinked, her voice intentionally soft and teasing. "Our actual relationship. An illicit affair scenario between a husband and his wife’s younger sister. What do you think?"

Yang Xun fell silent for two seconds, his lips twitching slightly. "That’s a completely twisted sense of humor."

Xu Qian puffed out her chest confidently and winked at him. "The viewers reacted so enthusiastically last time, which proves that a lot of people are into this sort of thing! Besides, you don’t even need to prepare anything. Just act like your true self."

Leaning back in his chair with his hands resting behind his head, Yang Xun finally let out a helpless laugh. "Alright, you’re the boss. Whatever you say."

Beaming with joy, Xu Qian immediately pulled out her phone and started notifying the wealthy women in the chat room to build up some hype. The two of them then headed to the private room dedicated to livestreams and began their preparations.

Half an hour later, the lighting was perfectly adjusted, and the equipment was set up. Yang Xun changed into a loose dark gray T-shirt and a pair of shorts, sitting on the edge of the bed to wait.

Xu Qian was wearing a purple slip dress with a plunging neckline, exposing a patch of snow-white skin and her delicate collarbones. Her hair was loosely tied behind her head with a few stray strands hanging by her ears, making her look languid and carefree.

"Ready?" Xu Qian turned to look at him after adjusting the camera lens.

"As long as you’re ready." Yang Xun chuckled and reached out to tap the button to go live.

The moment the livestream started, comments flooded the chat like a tidal wave. Various special effects from virtual gifts exploded across the screen, almost completely obscuring the video feed.

"Good morning, ladies!" Xu Qian flashed a sweet smile at the camera. "We aren’t doing any overly complicated scripts today. We’re going with something real and thrilling."

She glanced sideways at Yang Xun, her voice carrying a hint of ambiguous teasing.

The chat immediately blew up with urging comments.

"What’s the theme? Tell us already!"

"Hurry up and start! I’ve already got my screen recorder ready!"

Xu Qian winked at the camera before turning around and walking over to Yang Xun, instantly slipping into character. With her alluring figure, she sat down sideways next to him and gently rested her hand on his arm. She kept her voice very low, yet loud enough for the microphone to pick up perfectly. "Yang Xun, have you been feeling a bit pent up lately?"

Yang Xun turned his head and glanced at her, playing along with a helpless tone. "Stop messing around."

"I’m not messing around. I just care about you, that’s all." Xu Qian’s fingers slowly trailed up his arm and landed on his shoulder. Her voice was light and soft. "Things have been inconvenient for my sister lately. It must be so hard for you to bear it all alone, right?"

Yang Xun didn’t answer, nor did he push her hand away.

Taking advantage of the moment, Xu Qian leaned in even closer, practically resting her body against his as she looked up at him with her alluring eyes.

The chat room had completely lost its mind.

"So it’s a forbidden affair with the wife’s sister! Who could possibly resist this?!"

"Qianqian is too good at this! What husband could hold back!"

"The immersion is too strong! I’m already starting to blush!"

Xu Qian tilted her head slightly, her voice intentionally dropping into a husky whisper. "Yang Xun, if it’s too hard to bear... how about I help you out?"

Yang Xun looked into her sparkling eyes. He remained silent for two seconds before grabbing her wrist and gently pushing her away.

"No. I can’t betray your sister," he said with utter seriousness.

"But my sister isn’t in good health. She can’t satisfy you. A hot-blooded man like you will go crazy if you keep holding it in," Xu Qian said in a sweet, delicate voice, letting her small hand slide onto his body.

Yang Xun’s breathing grew heavy, his eyes filling with desire.

"You say you don’t want me, Yang Xun, but your body is already reacting. Please, don’t hold back anymore. Have your way with me," Xu Qian murmured, her voice sweet enough to melt bones. Taking the initiative, she slipped off her dress, revealing her alluring figure.

Yang Xun stared at her with burning eyes. He then grabbed her wrist and pulled her forward, pressing her firmly down onto the bed.

Xu Qian let out a gasp, the sound carrying a hint of theatrical performance.

Looking down at her, Yang Xun spoke in a husky voice. "You asked for this."

Xu Qian lay flat on her back, her long, dark hair scattered across the white bedsheets. A thin layer of moisture shimmered in her peach-blossom eyes as the corners of her lips curled up slightly, looking just like a cat that had finally gotten its way.
