"So, He Ming has already left the Capital?"
Hou Qingxu, the eldest son of the Hou Family, wore a mocking expression.
This is his private mansion, also one of the Hou Family's properties. It is fully equipped with various entertainment facilities, including conference rooms, event halls, artificial hot springs, indoor golf courses, etc.
He was soaking in the pool at that moment. "What, when you invited him, you didn't mention my name?"
He slightly raised his chin, glanced at the female assistant beside him, his gaze sweeping over her shapely figure, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
"I reported it, but He Ming still refused and left immediately," the female assistant replied with a smile. She was Hou Qingxu's confidante and both feared and fawned over this young master.
"Hmph, what a big mouth he has. I can't even get him to come." Hou Qingxu didn't really care about He Ming; he was just a country bumpkin who'd gotten lucky. He was just annoyed that He Ming hadn't given him face. He was willing to condescend, and the other party dared to refuse?
The most important thing about a dog is that it must be obedient. A disobedient stray dog just needs to be trained!
"Go and inform Yan San to bring that ghost back. It can become intangible and immune to physical attacks; I'm very interested in it."
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away." The female assistant's heart trembled slightly when she heard the name Yan San. You should know that Yan San is a well-known Ghost Tamer in the Capital. He is always arrogant and ruthless, but no one knows that he is just a lackey kept by the Hou Family.
"Tell him to be decisive when he takes action, and not to make such a fuss like last time, when I had to clean up the mess myself."
Hou Qingxu emerged from the pool. He had an ordinary appearance, but a very good physique. His well-defined pectoral and abdominal muscles, as well as his developed latissimus dorsi muscles, proved that he regularly exercised.
He values his health highly because he enjoys life and needs to be in good health to fully enjoy it.
Before becoming Ghost Tamer, Hou Qingxu had a professional fitness team and nutritionist. He insisted on scientific fitness and studied combat and martial arts, which is how he developed a muscular physique that would make women scream.
As he stepped naked from the pool, a voluptuous, long-legged beauty immediately draped a towel over him. Another beauty with a baby face brought him a glass of light blue, slightly cloudy drink.
Hou Qingxu downed the drink in one gulp, a look of extreme comfort on his face. The Longevity Potion, which was priceless to many Ghost Tamers, was just an ordinary beverage to him. So even though he had become Ghost Tamer, he was still fearless and had no worries about his lifespan.
As he lay on the beach chair, the baby-faced beauty immediately leaned over and silently massaged every muscle in his body.
"Hiss~" He couldn't help but make some unseemly noises.
Just as the sex scene was about to begin, an uninvited guest suddenly barged in. A young woman in a black dress walked over with a clattering clatter. She wore no makeup, had a beautiful face, a pure temperament, and a hot figure. Even Hou Qingxu, who had seen countless beauties, couldn't help but take a second look.
"You bastard, you're messing around outside again!" The beautiful woman bit her lip, suppressing her anger, and with a flick of her wrist, several photos rained down on her. The photos showed a young-looking high school girl in a school uniform.
"It was one thing for you to associate with people in the entertainment industry before, but now you're even going after students? You're shameless!"
"Huh?" Hou Qingxu dismissed the others, sat on a beach chair, picked up the photo, and realized it was indeed his former lover. It was true that she was a student, but she had taken the initiative to come to him, so he could only reluctantly accept it.
"Is this what you're trying to say? It was consensual, so how am I shameful?"
"Hou Qingxu! That girl is a minor!" the woman in the black dress said sharply.
"She should be an adult by now." Hou Qingxu grinned, revealing a wicked smile. "Ning Yun, although you are my fiancée, you have no right to interfere in my private life. When you were chasing after those minor celebrities, calling them 'Gege,' I didn't care, did I?"
What's wrong with a marriage based on mutual benefit where each person goes their own way? He seeks out beautiful women, she seeks out handsome men; as long as they don't have any illegitimate children, they can pretend they don't know. Why tear things apart and make both sides look bad?
Hou Qingxu is a very confident person. With his status and power, there are plenty of people willing to curry favor with him, a mutually beneficial arrangement. Isn't Ning Yun quite happy when she's with Giegie?
"Shut up! I'm not like you! If you dare do this again, I'll break off our engagement!" Ning Yun said coldly. She only admired the looks and talent of celebrities and would never do anything inappropriate.
Upon hearing her words, Hou Qingxu felt a surge of anger rising within him; this was utterly a case of the pot calling the kettle black! However, he remained outwardly calm, only promising, "I'm sorry, Ning Yun, I understand what you mean. You should understand; I was just a little overwhelmed by my emotions."
"I have feelings for you. Being with other women is just a physical urge, nothing more than playing around. It's those women who actively pursued me who were seducing me. I'm a normal man, and I hope you can understand."
"From today onwards, I promise I will never have anything to do with that high school student again. Don't worry, I will only be responsible for you for the rest of my life!"
Hou Qingxu felt his explanation was flawless. In his understanding, no matter what kind of woman she was, she wouldn't dislike a man who truly loved her. This was because a large number of women needed a man's "affirmation" to satisfy their vanity and acknowledge their value in society or family.
Hou Qingxu knew that in Ning Yun's eyes he was a real scumbag, but he insisted on acting like a scumbag who was madly in love with her, and that even if he slept with other people, she was still the one he thought of!
"I'm not serious about any other woman; I only love you. If you hadn't always been indifferent to me and broken my heart, how could I have acted so recklessly and depravedly?"
Hou Qingxu's mouth kept spouting nonsense, saying that all melodramatic romance dramas follow this formula: women are willing to deceive themselves into believing that scumbags and prodigal sons have turned over a new leaf, giving up the whole forest for one tree.
However, this approach clearly didn't work on Ning Yun; she just found it cheesy. "We're all from the same social class," she thought. "You've seen countless beauties, but I'm surrounded by plenty of handsome men too!"
What sweet talk haven't I heard? Only a naive young girl would fall for it!
Others are just too embarrassed to call out your clumsy, cheesy pickup lines because of your status!
Ning Yun was too lazy to continue arguing, "Hou Qingxu, there's no need to tell any more jokes. Look at this."
She took a document out of her handbag.
Hou Qingxu put away his nonchalant attitude and reached out to take it.
"You dare to poach talent from Headquarters? You're really something. Aren't you Hou Family afraid of getting into trouble?" Ning Yun stared intently at Hou Qingxu's face, not wanting to miss a single micro-expression.
