Chapter 390

Although he still appears as aloof as before, a closer look reveals a touch of gentleness beneath his cold exterior.

Is that once icy beauty gradually melting away? How did Wu Liang manage to do that?

"Alright, alright! Everyone, hurry up and get on the bus!! You're not hot, but I am."

Yao Qing shook off her hand, which Wu Xingsheng had almost crushed, and laughed heartily.

A Great Vajra Palm strike landed on Wu Xingsheng's back with a dull thud.

"Master, the young master has a girlfriend now!"

Yao Qing leaned close to Wu Xingsheng's ear and whispered something.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Hotel Yao Qing Chosen

"Sir, are you sure you don't want to go back to live here? There are so many empty rooms in the house."

Yao Qing, who was holding the steering wheel, looked through the rearview mirror at Wu Xingsheng, who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, resting.

It's simply because of the young master's relationship that Wu Xingsheng doesn't want to have too much contact with him right now.

Moreover, the other party's return to Yanghai City this time was not for the young master's return, but to take care of some business matters.

Even if Wu Xingsheng doesn't show it on his face, he would feel uncomfortable having a father and son with an already strained relationship living under the same roof.

As for the young master, there's no need to mention him; he has never had any contact with the master.

If the young master suddenly had to wake up every day to see the old man's grumpy face, wouldn't that shock him to death?

Moreover, from Yao Shi and Milutin's perspective, if the master were always at home, it would also have a certain impact on them.

Especially for Milutin, with the master at home, she probably wouldn't be able to sneak into the young master's room early in the morning wearing only her underwear to play around anymore.

"Do you think that kid will welcome me back? Or do you think we'll get along well?"

Wu Xingsheng closed his eyes and let out a disdainful snort.

He truly had no intention of meeting Wu Liang, much less any intention of contacting that kid.

But the current situation is clearly beyond his expectations; he never thought that the kid would find a girlfriend.

And he even found the daughter of a company in crisis. What on earth is that kid thinking?

"Master, the young master has actually changed a lot. You will be very surprised if you meet him."

"Young Master Wu Liang is no longer the same wicked young master he used to be. Yao Qing's report should clearly record the changes in the young master."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Milutin turned around and explained to Wu Xingsheng the changes in Wu Liang.

She actually hoped that the relationship between the master and the young master could be brought closer, and that they wouldn't be so distant anymore.

These two are, after all, father and son, bound by blood. Young Master used to be a wicked scoundrel, but he has changed now.

The scoundrel of yesteryear is gone; the young master has come to his senses and become an outstanding young man.

Seeing the young master's change, the master should be more tolerant of him.

"..."

Wu Xingsheng glanced at Milutin, who was speaking up for Wu Liang, moved his lips but did not speak, remaining silent instead.

Milutin was absolutely right; Yao Qing's report clearly recorded every detail of Wu Liang's life.

At first, he thought that Wu Liang was doing this on purpose to show him that he wouldn't be able to keep it up for long before his true nature was revealed.

So, in order to better monitor that kid, he deliberately sent Yao Qing to Wu Liang's side.

But to his utter surprise, that brat actually had a breakthrough, and in such a short time...

"Sir, shall we just go to the hotel we booked earlier?"

Yao Qing interrupted Wu Xingsheng's thoughts.

"It's better to be a little further away from the city center, at least it will be quieter."

Wu Xingsheng waved his hand casually, not caring about such a trivial matter.

He doesn't care where the hotel is, but it would be best if it were somewhere away from the city center.

He dislikes noisy and bustling environments; he prefers sparsely populated outer ring roads and empty tourist areas.

"Alright, sir, please be seated. We'll be right there!"

After receiving Wu Xingsheng's permission, Yao Qing's lips curled into a strange smile.

Since Wu Xingsheng is being so casual, let's go to the hotel he scouted before.

Hmm, let him think carefully about where that hotel was again? Ah, I remember now...

"Sir, I have some questions for you. Could you please answer them for me...?"

"Yao Shi, I'm tired now."

Before Yao Shi could finish speaking, Wu Xingsheng raised his right hand to stop her.

He knew Yao Shi had a lot of questions to ask him, but now was not the time to explain them to her.

Moreover, this matter has nothing to do with Yao Shi, so there's no point in telling her.

"But sir, I hope you can explain to me why you stopped me and Mi last time..."

"Yao Shi, when did you become so rude? Have a piece of candy and be quiet for a while."

Yao Qing picked up a candy and flicked it directly onto Yao Shi's forehead.

He exchanged a glance with Wu Xingsheng without making a sound, and then nodded.

There are some things about my foolish younger sister that I can't learn just by constantly digging into them.

Especially the matter between the master and the young master, you are not yet qualified to get involved in it.

"Yes... Yao Shi knows she was wrong..."

Yao Shi glanced at Wu Xingsheng, who had closed his eyes and stopped speaking, and shook her head helplessly.

Indeed, she was just a maid in the Wu family. How could she have the right to question the master? Was she insane?

But she and Milutin would never admit to the master's previous heartless treatment of the young master...

.

Five minutes later

"You two go upstairs with the master first. The room number is 142B. I'll go park the car."

Yao Qing waved and smiled at the three people who had already gotten off the car.

He glanced at the luxurious and lavish Western-style hotel in front of him and smacked his lips.

Tsk tsk tsk, last time I came here to scout the place, I was so focused on following that girl that I didn't even notice how luxurious this place is.

"Then we'll go up first. Remember to take your suitcase when you come up."

Milutin reached out and patted the roof of the car, giving Yao Qing a sly smile.

Then he dashed towards the gate and rushed inside impatiently.

"Has she always been this active?"

Wu Xingsheng stared at Milutin, who was skipping and hopping towards the hall, his face dark with dismay.

In his memory, Milutin was not like this when he first met him.

Milutin was as cold as Yao Shi was from the beginning; all she felt for him was cold-bloodedness and murderous intent.

That's the kind of aura that only soldiers who have been on the battlefield and have hovered on the brink of death countless times can possess.

How come Milutin looks like a silly husky now, after only a few years?

"When I learned about Milutin, she was already like this."

After thinking for a while, Yao Shi slowly spoke.

Upon reflection, she realized she didn't seem to know anything about Milutin's past, only that he had once been a mercenary.

"Is that so... Hmm... This is fine..."

Wu Xingsheng murmured to himself, then smiled faintly.

Compared to the Milutin who used to be obsessed with guns, cannons, and rocket launchers, she's now practically an angel...

Chapter Thirty: Passing By

"Let's go inside first. Yao Qing will come to find us herself later."

Wu Xingsheng rubbed his tired shoulders and called to Yao Shi behind him.

He hasn't been sleeping well these past few days due to business commitments, which has caused his body to feel stiff.

Well, after we finish the formalities, let's send Yao Shi and Milutin away.

This also gave him some freedom, freeing him from the constraints of the maids, and allowed him to find a place to get a massage.

"Yes, sir."

Yao Shi nodded respectfully, easily picked up the heavy leather suitcase, and walked towards the main gate.

But halfway there, Yao Shi suddenly stopped and looked toward Yao Qing's location.

Something's not right. Something feels off.

"..."

Yao Shi fell silent as if she had thought of something.

Because everyone's attention was focused on the master, they didn't notice that Yao Qing had actually been behaving very strangely when she left home for the airport.

Since the master had specifically instructed Yao Qing not to leak the information, why would Yao Qing deliberately reveal the master's whereabouts to her?

Even though Yao Qing was under his coercion at the time, it would have been very easy for her to conceal the master's whereabouts if she really wanted to.

After all, they had no information about the master at all. If Yao Qing hadn't told them, they and Milutin would still have been kept in the dark.

But Yao Qing made no attempt to hide her intention to go to the airport to pick up the master, and even asked him to meet the master in person.

This deliberate provocation was no different from a reverse psychology tactic, which meant that Yao Qing had never intended to help the master conceal the fact that he had returned to Yanghai City.

But what benefit would this bring Yao Qing? And it would deliberately lure her and Milutin here...

"Hmm? This isn't the hotel I initially asked him to book."

Wu Xingsheng frowned slightly as he looked at the luxurious and magnificent Western-style hotel in front of him.

This wasn't the location he and Yao Qing had initially agreed upon. Why would Yao Qing suddenly send him here?

Although this place is quite far from the city center, he was not familiar with this hotel near the airport.

"Sir, you're saying this isn't the hotel you booked in advance?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Shi narrowed her eyes and carefully examined the hall in front of her.

It seems that not only he and Milutin were fooled by Yao Qing, but even the master was deceived by him.

What's so special about this hotel? What was Yao Qing's purpose in gathering her group here?

"Hmm, I'm not familiar with this hotel."

Wu Xingsheng and said in a low voice.

Although he didn't care much about where he stayed, he didn't expect Yao Qing to make this choice.

In the past, once he had made up his mind, Yao Qing would always do it efficiently and according to the requirements.

This was the first time he had seen Yao Qing refuse his request and act according to the other party's wishes.

But never mind, there's nothing to worry about. We can just ask Yao Qing when she gets back.
