Chapter 286: How Wonderful

Chapter 286: Chapter 286: How Wonderful

That feeling was strange, the more the Handsome Man tried to see clearly, the more blurred his vision became. Only when he diverted his gaze did everything become clear again.

"Long time no see."

The Handsome Man gave up trying to see the woman’s face clearly and showed her his signature smile.

"Servant has seen the young master."

The woman slowly stood up, bowing gracefully to the Handsome Man.

"Do you know why you’ve been transferred here?"

The woman shook her head slightly, her voice soft, making any man’s heart soften: "I’m entirely at the young master’s command."

"My mother has raised you for many years, originally to be my concubine. However, I currently have no lack of women by my side, and I don’t plan to have children right now, so let’s put aside the concubine matter for now."

"Yes."

The Handsome Man continued, "I’ve summoned you here because I want you to investigate a man named Li Muyun. I know very little about him at present, but it seems a mysterious organization is secretly protecting him. I want you to get close to him, as close as possible, and unearth all his secrets."

"Yes." The woman seemed to have no will of her own in front of the Handsome Man; whatever he said, she would do.

"I don’t know much about Li Muyun’s character, but I suppose he’s a normal man. With your beauty, it should be easy to control him. However, what I want is far more than that."

"Please tell me, young master."

The Handsome Man walked up to the woman, circled around her with a smile: "Mother said that you are her most satisfactory work, every part of you is carefully cultivated, a true piece of art. Originally, it would have been fitting for you to be my concubine, but I recently plan to pursue Wu Qiyi, to make her fall insanely, obsessively in love with me, and thereby gain complete control over Luanfeng Pavilion!"

The Handsome Man sat on the sofa in front of the woman, his leg crossed, his face wearing a confident smile: "From what I know, Wu Qiyi seems to have some interaction with that Li Muyun, and their relationship is not ordinary. Although I am very confident in my own methods, there’s only one chance to pursue Wu Qiyi—it must be successful! And you, you are the nail I’m driving into Li Muyun’s side. I want you to get close to them, understand all their habits, so I can initiate my strategy with Wu Qiyi. Afterwards, it’s about making Wu Qiyi and Li Muyun turn against each other, and then your mission will be complete."

"Yes." The woman nodded gently, thought for a moment, and asked, "Young master, for the sake of the goal, may I use any means?"

The Handsome Man stared for a moment, sizing up the woman, who was clad in a black coat which thoroughly hid her figure. He couldn’t see clearly, but remembering that she was his mother’s finest work, he couldn’t help but feel a tickle of desire.

Eventually, reason triumphed over primal lust, and the Handsome Man nodded, "Hmm, you are permitted to use any means necessary. Rest assured, even if that Li Muyun defiles you, I still grant you the status of my concubine."

"Servant thanks the young master," the woman bowed gracefully.

"Hmm, that will be all, you may leave now."

"Yes." The woman turned and left with graceful steps. After she exited, the Handsome Man gestured towards the two beauties beside him with a wave of his hand.

One of the women immediately knelt in front of the Handsome Man, her head slowly bowing...

The Handsome Man seemed to get into the act instantly, moving his head wantonly, like a shaking lion, now angry, now wild, speaking with unrestrained arrogance: "Li Muyun, I’ll have a fine game with you!"

"Ah-Choo!"

You pinched your nose and wiped it with a tissue, continuing to drive.

"Boss, you played too hard with sister-in-law last night, caught a cold?"

Zong Wangyue said next to you with a lewd smile.

You couldn’t be bothered with the kid, as for you, your relationship and identity with Zhao’er were set, no one could influence it, so you let others say what they would.

Jin Qi, who had been looking down in thought, suddenly looked up at you and asked, "President, was what that ghost woman said true?"

You nodded slightly and told Jin Qi, "Although it hasn’t been confirmed, it’s probably true."

"President, if that’s the case, we can’t ignore this matter."

"Indeed, not knowing would have been okay, but now that we’re aware, we must get involved," you said, seeing that the road ahead was clear and slowly stepping on the gas, "Let’s head back to school first. We’ll hold a meeting tonight."

Half an hour later, the student cafeteria.

You, Jin Qi, and Zong Wangyue got your meals and sat down in a relatively quiet spot, just about to start eating when you noticed the surrounding area was quiet.

Zong Wangyue looked up first, turning to look at the side. He chuckled and said to you, "Boss, Goddess Wu has arrived."

You were buried in eating, but upon hearing Zong Wangyue, you slowly lifted your head and—still chewing your food—turned to look toward Wu Qiyi walking in your direction.

Hmm?

You found it strange to see Wu Qiyi alone, and she, like you, carried a tray with freshly served food.

"May I sit here?"

Wu Qiyi’s voice was as soft and gentle as always, hard to refuse.

You shrugged, "What brought you to eat in the school cafeteria today?"

Wu Qiyi did not answer but came to sit down across from you.

She watched you quietly, and you observed her curiously in return.

Zong Wangyue and Jin Qi exchanged glances, picked up their plates, and stealthily left.

The tables in the school cafeteria were not large, designed for four seats. Both you and Wu Qiyi had empty spots beside you, and the table could only accommodate two trays. Now your tray edged against Wu Qiyi’s.

You suddenly realized that Wu Qiyi had chosen dishes you liked to eat. Of course, she liked them too because you two had dined together long ago and had surprisingly similar tastes.

"It’s nice."

Wu Qiyi suddenly uttered.

"Hmm?"

You didn’t quite grasp her suddenly introspective remark.

Wu Qiyi still offered no explanation. You sat by the window—looking up, you could see the lush view outside.

The Southern winter was not as desolate as in the North; instead, trees remained evergreen everywhere, rarely offering sight of withered trunks.

A window was left open, and the cool breeze from outside gently brushed, slightly moving Wu Qiyi’s hair.

You watched her quietly, and she gazed steadily back at you, your eyes reflecting only each other.
