Fang Yao sprawled on her bed, bored. For the past few days, all she had done was eat and sleep, then sleep and eat. It was... wonderful. This was the lazy life she had always dreamed of.
Bo Hanmo had taken Bo Zhe to the company to experience life as an entry-level employee, so he couldn't take Fang Yao out to fight... ahem, to have fun. As for Bo Miao... Fang Yao's stomach growled, and she sprang off the bed.
"System, where has my sister-in-law been these past few days?"
"Ahhh! Fang Yao, I'm dragging you down here right now! I'd only just fallen asleep when you woke me. Do you think everyone can skip work like you? Do you have a death wish?!"
Clutching her head, Fang Yao collapsed onto the bed. What had gotten into the system? A sudden scream like that could scare someone to death.
The system wanted to spit in Fang Yao's face. A voice appearing beside your ear when you were sleeping most soundly could scare you to death! Good thing the system was a Ghost Messenger. Otherwise, Fang Yao could look forward to the eighteenth level of hell when she died.
"System, are you rebelling? Who do you think I came here for? You're usually offline. How was I supposed to know you'd suddenly come online? How is that my fault?" Fang Yao retorted with a frown. How could she have known he was there?
System: ...
His anger went out in an instant. She had a point.
The system shook his head to clear it. He had almost let her lead him astray.
Fang Yao: Tsk. ┐(:´ゞ`)┌
The system narrowed his eyes. He could have sworn he'd heard a tsk. Fang Yao looked up at the ceiling and whistled, as if it had nothing to do with her.
The system scratched his head, still grumpy from being woken. "You'd better have woken me for a matter of life and death."
"Oh, nothing that serious. Go back to sleep. I'll ask the little assistant where my sister-in-law's been these past few days."
"She's off dating someone. Unlike you."
"What's wrong with me? I'm doing better than she is, thank you very much. I'm already married." Fang Yao knelt on the bed, hands on her hips, and laughed.
"Sure. What kind of married woman sleeps in a separate room from her husband? You're worse off than a single dog." The arrow struck home. Fang Yao swayed, and it was the system's turn to grin.
At his mocking tone, Fang Yao ground her teeth. A vein bulged on her forehead as she raised her little fists and punched the air several times.
Just wait until I see you again. You're dead.
The Underworld Emissary looked at Fang Yao as if she were an idiot. He was already dead. How much deader could he get?
Fang Yao knelt motionless for a moment. Then, in a flash, she was no longer on the bed.
She leaned over the second-floor railing and looked down.
"Big brother, get home quick. Our little sister brought some random guy home." Bo Zhe looked deadly serious. Even as he spoke on the phone, he shot the man a warning look.
Take the hint and get out. You're not good enough for my sister. Bo Zhe jerked his chin toward the door.
Bo Miao's boyfriend glanced up, then ignored Bo Zhe outright. Bo Zhe nearly jumped with rage.
"Second brother, watch what you're saying! What do you mean, 'some random guy'? Show some respect." Bo Miao rolled her eyes and shoved Bo Zhe. Did he think she hadn't seen him threatening her boyfriend with his eyes?
Bo Zhe was beside himself. Bo Miao's boyfriend smiled.
"Miaomiao, don't be angry. Second brother only said that because he cares about you. I don't mind being called some random guy." Bo Miao's boyfriend considerately made excuses for Bo Zhe.
He nestled against Bo Miao's shoulder like a delicate little bird. All he lacked was a dainty pinkie in the air. Goose bumps rose on the Bo Family's arms. Old Master Bo, in particular, wanted to gouge out his own eyes.
Never had anyone acted so effeminate in front of him.
"Atian, you're so sweet. Unlike him. Hmph. Here, have some tea. I made it with your favorite leaves." Bo Miao gazed at her boyfriend, deeply moved.
Holy shit, men can be green tea too? He's even more green tea than the women. I've learned something new today.
Pfft!
Cough, cough, cough!
The Bo Family were startled by Fang Yao's thoughts, and she had floored them once again. Could she stop popping up where they least expected her?
Tea sprayed all over Bo Miao's boyfriend's face. After a stunned moment, he wiped it off, then looked at Bo Miao with aggrieved eyes.
Miaomiao, I've tried so hard to be considerate of you, but your family...
Bo Miao understood his look. Her heart ached as she carefully wiped his face with a tissue.
Baby, please put up with it a little longer for me.
Fang Yao stared, dumbfounded, at the green-tea performance below and the silent exchange between Bo Miao and her boyfriend.
Reading the message in his girlfriend's eyes, Bo Miao's boyfriend felt a pang. Fine. They were Miaomiao's family, and he intended to spend his life with her. A little early testing was no big deal. He cheered himself on.
Bo Hanmo was baffled by Bo Zhe's out-of-the-blue call. What was that brat up to? Since when did Bo Miao have a boyfriend? Why hadn't he heard about it?
Wait. Had Bo Zhe just said Bo Miao had brought her boyfriend home?!
Bo Hanmo could no longer concentrate on work. He got up and left.
"Boss, what's wrong?" Assistant Fang opened the door to find Bo Hanmo hurrying out of his office.
Had something happened at the company, or had the young madam gotten into another fight?
"I'm going home. Call me if anything comes up." Bo Hanmo reached the elevator in a few strides.
Assistant Fang reached for the elevator doors but missed them. He could only watch it descend. "Boss, I'll come too! I can drive!"
Assistant Fang lowered his head in defeat, stubbornly finishing his thought. He wanted to see the young madam in action! The secretaries watched his expression, itching to know what had happened.
Biting a handkerchief. o(╥﹏╥)o
Bo Hanmo had heard only "Boss." The rest hadn't reached him.
Bo Hanmo got home as fast as he could, mainly because of one thing Bo Zhe had said: he knew the guy. He had seen him at a bar two days earlier, bragging about himself with outrageous arrogance. The guy had said he'd taken a fancy to a woman recently and hooked her with just a few words.
At the time, Bo Zhe had felt sorry for the unlucky woman and been glad his own sister hadn't run into a man like that. Today, fate had slapped him in the face.
<(  ̄︿ ̄)︵θ︵θ︵θ︵θ︵☆(>口<-) Foshan Shadowless Kick!
Bo Zhe had no objection to Bo Miao dating, but her boyfriend's character mattered. And this guy? Bo Zhe despised him. →_→
"What does your family do? My big brother might know your father." Bo Zhe crossed one leg over the other and was about to ask more when Bo Hanmo came home.
Bo Zhe uncrossed his legs and sat up straight. Bo Miao stopped snuggling with her boyfriend. Old Master Bo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Hanmo, you're..." Before Old Master Bo could finish saying "back," his eldest grandson walked straight past him.
