Chapter 8

Yue Gu Zui read reports in the study room .

‘Boss looks like he’s in a good mood,’ Bai Yu Tian said .

Cheng Yi looked at Yue Gu Zui and he couldn’t tell what mood Yue Gu Zui was in . He wanted to learn from Bai Yu Tian about how to read their boss’ moods . Because the fox Bai Yu Tian knew when to use him as a bullet vest whenever their boss was in a bad mood .

Cheng Yi noticed a devious gleam in the fox Bai Yu Tian’s eyes .

‘I don’t know if boss’ good mood will stay after he hears the bad news,’ Bai Yu Tian said .

Cheng Yi instinctively moved away from Yue Gu Zui . If Cheng Yi planned to use him as a bullet vest, he feared their boss wouldn’t let him leave with an intact corpse .

Huyen Di reported how his group dealt with Mr Tao’s gang and he wisely sat on the sofa away from Yue Gu Zui .

‘Boss, Louis is injured,’ Huyen Di said .

Yue Gu Zui’s good mood disappeared and his face turned cold . Who would be able to injure Louis?

‘Was it Shu Tang Jue, Tan Lang’s gang?’ Yue Gu Zui asked .

‘Ah!’ Zhen Zhen cried out .

Zhen Zhen felt a cold wind passed her neck . It was Yue Gu Zui’s knife that was thrown past Zhen Zhen’s nose, deflected Huyen Di’s knife and landed on the floor .

Zhen Zhen wondered if she explained she was only passing by and she wasn’t eavesdropping on them if they would believe her . She was too scared to move .

‘Next time be gentler toward my woman,’ Yue Gu Zui said and glared at Huyen Di .

‘Come here,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

Zhen Zhen understood she couldn’t ignore Yue Gu Zui’s order . But she thought about how she ate him last night and she blushed .

Bai Yu Tian stood back to let Zhen Zhen walk toward Yue Gu Zui . She thought Bai Yu Tian was a gentleman until he opened his mouth .

‘Miss Zhen, why is your face red?’ Bai Yu Tian asked . ‘And why are you wearing thick clothes on a hot day?’

Zhen Zhen spent a lot of energy to search for a high collar thick top to hide the kiss marks on her neck . She wasn’t impressed by Bai Yu Tian’s hateful smile .

Zhen Zhen walked past the hateful Bai Yu Tian and Yue Gu Zui shamelessly pulled her onto his lap . She tried to stand but Yue Gu Zui wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered in her ear . ‘Don’t move . I love it when you take the initiative but now isn’t the time . ’

‘About last night… I didn’t do it on purpose…’ Zhen Zhen said .

‘Are you saying you refuse to take responsibility?’ Yue Gu Zui asked .

Zhen Zhen wanted to ask what responsibility . Wasn’t it the man who was supposed to take responsibility?

Zhen Zhen laughed awkwardly . ‘Let’s talk about world news . ’

Yue Gu Zui laughed at Zhen Zhen’s obvious awkwardness .

Cheng Yi spat his tea onto Huyen Di .

‘You’re filthy,’ Huyen Di said to Cheng Yi .

Yue Gu Zui thought it was hilarious Zhen Zhen wanted him to talk about world news instead of selling and buying weapons . It was like asking him to survive on eating air .

Zhen Zhen felt like she said the wrong thing and she quickly changed the topic of conversation . ‘Where’s Zhen Wu?’

‘Dad took our son to the park,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

‘Um,’ Zhen Zhen said .

Zhen Zhen ran out of questions to ask Yue Gu Zui and the room was silent for a while .

‘Zhen Zhen go pack your luggage,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

‘Why?’ Zhen Zhen asked . ‘Where am I going?’ Her eyes lit up . ‘Can I go home?’

‘Italy,’ Yue Gu Zui said .

Zhen Zhen’s eyes lost its shine, she pouted her lips and softly cursed Yue Gu Zui on the way toward their bedroom . ‘Toxic boss . ’

Cheng Yi heard Zhen Zhen’s soft curse and he spat more tea onto Huyen Di . Huyen Di slid along the sofa to avoid Cheng Yi’s unhygienic saliva .

Bai Yu Tian smiled . He pitied Zhen Zhen and deflected attention off her .

‘Boss, I heard Da Tu Li was in Italy,’ Bai Yu Tian said .

Cheng Yi thought the fox Bai Yu Tian knew how to push Yue Gu Zui’s buttons .

‘Huyen Di tell Chu Gian to immediately go to Italy to see me,’ Yue Gu Zui said coldly .

Yue Gu Zui walked past Bai Yu Tian to see if Zhen Zhen finished packing .

Cheng Yi picked up his tea cup and he looked daggers at the fox Bai Yu Tian . He drank his tea, rubbed Bai Yu Tian’s pitiful head and gave him his empty tea cup .

‘Yu Tian, you need to go to Italy too,’ Huyen Di said .
