Villain Young Master Doesn't Want to Fall in Love with the Cute Domineering Female Lead Chapter 24

Yao Shi sighed helplessly at his words. Fine, since Young Master had made up his mind, anything she said would be useless.

Without defending her identity, she walked to Wu Liang's side and carefully leaned closer.

But the moment Yao Shi's small hand touched Wu Liang's shoulder, her slender jade hand trembled.

Suddenly, she froze like a block of wood, her beautiful eyes, like flowing water, widened, a hint of worry appearing.

Looking at Wu Liang's back, soaked with sweat, Yao Shi couldn't help but clench her fists, her knuckles turning white. Young Master was looking for her...

"Huh? What's wrong??"

Seeing Yao Shi frozen on the spot, Wu Liang turned his head and asked her in confusion.

Was she shy? But thinking about it, Yao Shi was, after all, just a nineteen-year-old girl.

Yao Shi had never had such close physical contact with a man before. It was perfectly normal for her to feel uncomfortable and distant.

"Yao Shi, if you feel it's not appropriate..."

"It's okay, Young Master. I was just thinking about something. You don't need to worry about it."

Just as Wu Liang was about to say something, Yao Shi crouched down and gently leaned against his back.

Feeling the warmth from Wu Liang's back, Yao Shi closed her eyes and murmured softly.

"Hey! I've been sweating a lot, and you're doing this..."

Wu Liang hadn't expected Yao Shi to suddenly press herself against him and quickly explained to her.

But as he felt the chill emanating from Yao Shi, Wu Liang's voice grew quieter and quieter.

Why was Yao Shi's body so cold? It was a coldness like that of a lifeless corpse.

"Young Master, let's go. We shouldn't keep Miss He Xue waiting."

Her pale, lotus-root-like jade arms wrapped around Wu Liang's neck like water snakes, hooking him in front of her.

Gently pressing her body against Wu Liang's back, as if shy, Yao Shi buried her head on his shoulder.

"Ah... okay... okay..."

Her fragrant breath blew past his ear, her soft body pressed tightly against his back.

Her boneless body felt soft and light, making him feel a little floaty.

His hands trembled slightly as he reached for Yao Shi's thighs. His palms, sliding over the black silk, felt a slight itchiness, yet were incredibly soft.

This was high-quality silk stocking material. Wu Liang couldn't help but touch them a few more times, the smooth, numbing sensation traveling from his palms to the depths of his mind.

Yao Shi's legs weren't particularly plump, but they weren't overly slender either. The feel was delicate and tender.

"Cough, cough, let's go."

Realizing he was acting like a pervert, Wu Liang quickly stopped his hands, his face slightly flushed as he spoke.

His hands cupped the inside of Yao Shi's thighs, and with a slight push, the delicate sensation stimulated his fingertips.

Taking a deep breath, Wu Liang silently recited a calming mantra hundreds of times.

Wu Liang now truly understood what kind of sage the ancient scholar Liu Xiahui was, who could remain unmoved even when a beautiful woman sat in his lap.

He was already struggling just by touching Yao Shi's thighs, let alone the absurd idea of having Yao Shi sit in his lap.

"Hoo... calm down... lust is a sharp knife..."

Taking a deep breath to admonish himself, Wu Liang suddenly stood up, but due to the excessive force, he almost fell backward.

He quickly took a few steps back to steady himself, which made his heart sink.

Yao Shi's weight was far too light. He hadn't expected her body to be so weightless.

This was not at all the weight of a normal woman, especially considering Yao Shi was a full meter seventy tall.

"Yao Shi, you..."

"Young Master, we should go."

Yao Shi tightened her slender arms, her face buried in Wu Liang's shoulder, a faint blush of red on her cheeks.

Her body, pressed tightly against Wu Liang, felt slightly warm. Yao Shi could even clearly hear her own heartbeat.

It echoed in her ears like a muffled drum. She had never experienced such a rapid heartbeat before.

Wu Liang's masculine aura constantly brushed against her face, further confusing her thoughts.

"Ah... um... let's go back..."

The words he wanted to ask got stuck in his throat. Wu Liang gave a helpless smile, tightened his arm, and strode forward.

He still couldn't get any information about her from Yao Shi.

But from what he could see now, Yao Shi was definitely not just an ordinary maid as depicted in the game's settings.

Yao Shi had an unknown past and secrets that were difficult to bear.

Since Yao Shi couldn't confide in him now, Wu Liang saw no need to force her. Letting things unfold naturally would be best.

He would eventually discover Yao Shi's secrets and everything about her.

"Young Master, do you think Miss He Xue will be angry?"

Yao Shi asked softly. The killing intent she had previously exposed was not something an ordinary person could withstand.

If Miss He Xue developed any negative opinions about her because of this, it would create a rift between Young Master Wu Liang and Miss He Xue.

She didn't want such a thing to happen. If there was any way to fix it...

"Don't worry, He Xue isn't fragile. I can tell she cares about you a lot."

Wu Liang smiled. Although He Xue looked as delicate as a little princess, she wouldn't hold a grudge against Yao Shi for something like this.

However, to help He Xue relax a bit, it seemed he'd have to use that method.

"Let's take a detour. There's a place I want to take you."

As if thinking of something amusing, a low chuckle came from beneath the KFC bucket hat.

"Young Master, why is everyone around us paying so much attention to us?"

Yao Shi felt the intense gazes of the passersby and instinctively covered her skirt.

She felt like the attention from the people around her was even greater than before.

"This wave, this wave is called the rage of the single dogs."

Wu Liang laughed heartily after feeling the stares that could almost devour him alive.

Aren't you guys impatient?

Chapter 38: Family and Business (Fire Scroll Bonus Chapter)

He Xue accompanied He Feng, sitting in the hospital room and silently watching over He Jingao.

Looking at He Jingao on the hospital bed, his expression gentle as he breathed evenly, He Xue's anxious heart finally relaxed.

It seemed he was out of danger. His previously pale face had regained its color, and his rosy cheeks indicated he was in good condition.

Although he hadn't woken up from the anesthesia yet, it was only a matter of time.

"Father..."

He Feng held He Jingao's hand and murmured softly. His father's palm was rough, like sandpaper.

This made He Feng feel very uneasy. In his memory, his father had always been optimistic and healthy.

He had never imagined his father would suffer from such a hidden illness. He hadn't been by his father's side for many years, so much so that he didn't even know his father was seriously ill.

As a son, he was a complete failure. He had failed He Jingao.

As a father, he had failed He Xue.

Cancerous mutations could be detected in the early stages, but he had never accompanied his father to the hospital for check-ups.

Moreover, his father was a stubborn person and would never go to places like hospitals without a good reason.

If only he had made time to come home and see him back then, his father wouldn't have to suffer like this.

"Father, it's okay. Grandpa is fine now, isn't he?"

He Xue, who had been silent, placed her hand over He Feng's to comfort him.

She knew her father was blaming himself, but she also understood him.

If it weren't for her father's constant hard work over the years, she wouldn't be living the life she had now.

From their impoverished family back then to owning a small villa in Yanghai City, it was all thanks to her father.

Without her father's efforts, she wouldn't have been able to study at Huihuangxing Academy, a place only prestigious families could afford to attend.

"He Xue, please forgive me, Father. I haven't been able to take good care of you."

"I swear to you, Father, I won't leave Yanghai City again from now on. I'll live here with you."

He Feng clasped He Xue's small hand in return, smiling with relief. The hands of the three generations held tightly together, not separating for a long time.

For He Feng, this home was his everything. If he lost his home, no amount of money would be useful.

He Xue had been cared for by her father since Reiko passed away, and he had given He Xue too little fatherly love.

He Feng had figured it out. He had earned enough money; there was no need for him to continue working himself to the bone.

He might as well use his spare time to spend more time with his daughter and his parents.

"Father? Are you serious??"

A light sparked in He Xue's dim pupils. She widened her eyes and looked at her father in disbelief.

She had never imagined she would hear these words from her father one day.

Could her father really let go of everything and return to her side?

"I, He Feng, swear that from today onwards, I will always stay by my family's side until I see you leave my protection."

"On the contrary, you're used to seeing me once every six months. Now that you'll see me every day, you're not allowed to complain."

He Feng crouched down and gently stroked his daughter's head.

He had finally understood. What he craved was family, kinship, not cold paper money.

"Father, what about your business...?"

It was impossible for He Xue not to be unhappy, but He Feng's business was so large that abandoning it wasn't an easy decision.

"Business? I'll let the business take care of itself. We'll see what happens."

"I've already made enough money anyway. What I want to do next is just be by your side."

He Feng was stunned at first, then stretched lazily with a look of indifference.

It had indeed taken a lot of effort for him to build his business to this point; he had gone through every kind of hardship imaginable.

But if he were to compare his family and his business, the latter was dispensable. What could possibly be more important than his own family?

"No! You can't just give up like that! That was your dream for many years!!"

He Xue frowned and reprimanded He Feng sternly.

How could he just give up? That was his father's hard work over many years, and more importantly, his father's lifelong dream.

Now that her father had finally embarked on the path to pursue his dream, how could she possibly let him throw it away for no reason?

If her father really did that, then she would become the sinner who restricted him.

"He Xue... you don't understand this..."

He Feng was startled by He Xue, who had suddenly stood up, but he quickly understood the reason for her anger.

Giving up on a dream was indeed a difficult choice, but if it was for his family, He Feng could accept the loss.

Moreover, it was simply impossible to balance family and business at the same time. To achieve that, unless...

"Mr. He Feng, would your company be willing to merge with ours?"

A bodyguard, who had been listening at the door for a long time, slowly walked up to He Feng's side.
