The two of them spent several hours at the beach. Since they had that once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity to talk about their feelings, they talked much more. Ye Wei especially talked more, pouring out her troubles and thoughts to Eleven.
She, in these past few days, rarely had a chance to relax.
Eleven looked at the mansion teasingly and laughed. “Go open the door and free them. You are really mean.”
“We’re not too different, so how dare you call me out on that!” Ye Wei laughed. The two of them ignored the men as they were not going anywhere today. Ye Wei clapped her hands and seemed frustrated. “I’m really forgetful! I should have taken a photo of that.”
“You’re not afraid of barfing?”
“How could I? They have really nice faces and figures that perfectly fit my definition of attractiveness.” Ye Wei smiled gorgeously as though she wanted to see them gangbang each other.
Eleven shuddered. That was nothing short of wicked.
Before the two of them parted ways, Eleven suddenly said, “Wei Wei, you just drank Eve’s Temptation.”
“So?”
“Don’t you know what that cocktail does?” Eleven raised her eyebrows. She used to joke about how she would learn to bartend and concoct a glass of Eve’s Temptation for Su Man so that Su Man, in his sexual frustration, would be in such agony that he could only ask her to fulfill his needs.
As she recalled the brazen Ye Wei, a smile broke across Eleven’s face. Despite many things happening, she was still her old carefree and brazen self.
“I know! If I didn’t, why would I have them chug that?” Ye Wei laughed and waved her hand. “Just go and don’t miss me too much, okay? You said you would be back after half a year, so honor that promise and come back for me, okay?”
“Okay!” Eleven gently replied at her silhouette. She would probably be back in less than half a year’s time.
Who knows?
She forgot to remind Ye Wei the immense after-kick that Eve’s Temptation had. If the men had one too many and became intoxicated on them, they would become aroused extremely quickly. Ye Wei, with her great capacity for liquor, would not become drunk, but…
She assumed that she had a huge capacity for liquor and was okay after drinking it. The after-effect of the liquor would only gradually consume her after a few hours. By then… She shook her head. Oh, well. Since she had been with Mo Jue for so long, she probably gave him her body and heart. Her worries about her being taken advantage of were unfounded.
Mo Jue had it easy.
After talking to Eleven, she knew that Mo Jue and her used to really like each other and decided not to be too calculative about other things. As she had nothing else weighing on her, she was visibly happier.
With the troubles of the past few days gone, Ye Wei returned to the headquarters of the Mafia with a smile on her face. When she returned, she heard a growling roar from upstairs. Birmingham, in his laziness, sent a piece of intelligence much later. While it was neither pressing nor serious, little did they expect Mo Jue to take it out on him for a full ten minutes in his study room. While Mo Jue was not somebody to raise his voice, he would coldly stare at you with his purple eyes and cause everywhere to freeze over. That, along with his occasional roar, was nothing short of intimidating.
Mo Jue’s Knights of the Apocalypse stood at the stairwell and broke into a thin sheen of sweat.
“Miss Ye, where exactly have you been?”
“Waah… Miss Ye disappeared because you were just that bad! Why are you taking it out on us instead? It’s so unfair!” Miss Cloud rambled in indignation.
Wind dope-slapped her. “Quiet! Unless you want to be exiled to Africa, just shut up!”
“Women are indeed the cause of all chaos…” Lightning seemingly shook his head to express his helplessness. Their second master was someone who could forsake his empire for a woman when Ye Wei disappeared for just a moment.
He seemed to become extremely unhappy whenever Ye Wei was out of his sight. They, not too long ago, were still extremely puzzled at how Mo Jue had his eureka moment as he did not seem to flare up when he calmly returned from the square after losing sight of Ye Wei.
They finally congratulated Mo Jue on making sense of everything. Little did they expect Mo Jue’s calm to metamorphosis into a storm after Ye Wei went missing for hours. A storm brewed, and they were all reprimanded.
Mo Jue even rejected the coffee that was slightly warmer than usual. He was really…
Mo Jue’s Knights of the Apocalypse agreed with what Birmingham said. They were starting to miss their big boss. With him, they didn’t have to thread with such trepidation. If they had to thread with such trepidation day in day out, they would have lost their minds long ago.
“What are you doing?” Ye Wei curiously looked at them who huddled by the stairwell.
Cloud, with a look of complete thankfulness, quickly leaped down and brought her up. “You’re finally back! The second master couldn’t find you and has gone on an utter rampage. Birmingham, in all brotherhood, has been standing up for us. Quickly go in and save him.”
“Miss Ye Wei! Please bring a cell phone whenever you go out in the future! If you don’t, the second master will assume that you’ve eloped with some other man.”
“Thunder, watch your words before the second master wallops you.”
Ye Wei was at a loss for words.
She peeked in and saw how ugly Mo Jue’s immaculate face was. Birmingham scratched his head and looked dejected as he obediently took flak.
He repeated ‘Big Boss, I love you. Big Boss, I miss you’ countless times in his heart.
“Miss Ye Wei, why aren’t you going in?” Cloud curiously asked Ye Wei, who was hiding all over the place.
“Why should I become collateral damage?” Ye Wei retorted.
Mo Jue, when angry, was properly intimidating like Yama. His purple eyes were so cold it sent a chill down her heart. How could people be this terrifying when they were angry?
“Dearest madam, the second master will not scold you.”
“I’m not going!” Ye Wei immediately refused. As she was about to return to her room to rest, Cloud keenly and quickly pushed Ye Wei into the study room door. Ye Wei frowned. “Cloud! I’ll take care of you in a moment.”
“I’m back! What are you doing? And why are you throwing such a tantrum?” Ye Wei innocently walked toward Mo Jue. Birmingham looked at her as though he saw Mother Mary. Ye Wei utterly despised how he entertained others whilst being so obedient before Mo Jue.
It took one to keep another in check.
Ye Wei waved her hand and Birmingham quickly turned around before scooting away.
As Mo Jue looked at her solemnly, the cold gaze in her eyes gradually disappeared to give way to a slight cold. He coldly grunted and did not ask where she had been. He roughly grabbed a document on the table and opened it before looking at it and utterly ignoring her.
Ye Wei broke into laughter and walked over. She, hugging his neck, collapsed into his embrace. Having been with Mo Jue for so long, she would be able to figure out how to coax him despite how tempestuous he could get. Once she slightly teased him and kissed him, all his anger would simply disappear. Mo Jue could only hug her and stare at her angrily. He could only squeeze “Get off me!” through gritted teeth.
While he was screaming for her to get off him, he grabbed her waist even harder.
Ye Wei smiled gorgeously in his embrace and raised her eyebrows teasingly. “Dear Gorgeous Mo Jue, are you sure you want me to get off?”
Mo Jue looked at her solemnly and held her even more tightly. Ye Wei sighed. “Okay, then. Even Mr. Gorgeous is angry, so I’ll return to my room to rest before coaxing you again.”
Ye Wei feigned squirming out of Mo Jue’s embrace. He grabbed her waist hard so that she would fall back into his embrace. He asked with a solemn look, “Who allowed you to leave?”
“Mo Jue, there are times I feel like hacking open that mind of yours to see what twisted nonsense it’s filled with. Why are you just so messed up to the point of panicking as heck when I was gone for a while?”
“Who said that I was panicking?” Mo Jue denied as he tried to explain himself. “Birmingham’s laziness resulted in him slipping up and hence my scolding. It has nothing to do with you.”
“Really?” Ye Wei asked teasingly.
Mo Jue stared at her hard before suddenly leaning in and kissing her lips hard. It was not too long before he squeezed between her teeth and sucked on her tongue.
He kissed her so deep he almost kissed the deepest part of her mouth. He kissed her lips so hard as though he wanted this kiss to be seared into their memories for eternity.
Ye Wei, in a rare show of gentleness, replied to him gently. She only pushed him away when she was almost out of breath. As they struggled to catch their breath, a secret frustration flashed through Mo Jue’s eyes. God knew how hard he had to keep himself from doing her all these nights when he slept with her. There were times he wished he could just do her and not worry about anything else.
“You’re even more sexually frustrated, huh?” Ye Wei teased and obediently snuggled into his embrace. She had her doubts too. He looked like he had a hard time keeping to himself and almost lost it every night. Was he really poisoned?
Ye Wei was in even more doubt.
“Where have you been?” Mo Jue gently played with her hair as he ran his coarse fingers across her cheek. He missed this feeling so much that he was unknowingly enthralled in it.
“I went to the beach to catch some fresh air.” Ye Wei smiled and described what happened today save Eleven. When Mo Jue heard it, he was at a loss whether to cry or laugh. “You’re really…”
“Am I just that talented enough to the point people have designs on me? They deserve it, and for all you know, they won’t be able to crawl out of bed for the next few days. I gave them quite a handsome dosage.” Ye Wei smiled evilly.
Mo Jue was at a loss as to whether to cry or laugh.
He was gradually steaming away. She was away looking for fun so happily to the point others became envious of her. If he were present, he would never allow them to have it easy by emasculating them.
Whoever dared to tease his woman was asking for trouble.
“Wei Wei, am I such a bore to be around with?” Mo Jue asked.
Ye Wei gently smiled as she caressed his face and teasingly said, “Haha, that isn’t easy! Even the gorgeous you know that I’m bored? Finally had a conscience I see?”
Mo Jue saw her gorgeous smile which did not have the coldness and tension from the past few days. He felt happy and hugged Wei Wei and solemnly said, “Let’s stop bickering, shall we? Once this period has passed, I’ll accompany you to do whatever you want.”
“Are you serious?” Ye Wei’s eyes lit up.
Mo Jue nodded his head. “That is very correct!”
“Very well, then. I’ll trust you this once.” Ye Wei laughed. “I should get something out of the way first. I did not have an argument with you. It was you who picked an argument with me. Hmmph! If you upset me next time, you’ll have to come and coax me first. Get it? If you don’t, the household rules await you!”
“What kind of household rules?” Mo Jue curiously asked.
Ye Wei raised her eyebrows in high spirits. “You could choose whether to kneel on an abacus or run your hands against the laundry board.”
As Mo Jue thought about it, he became flustered.
Ye Wei tapped his shoulder calmly and looked at him intently. “Mo Jue, trust me that bit more next time. We have a very long way to go.”
He trusted her too little, always afraid that she would leave him. It was perhaps because of his past that he had one too many uncertainties about her. Eleven once said she was like the wind that would not wait for anybody. It was this reason that Mo Jue would overact whenever he had the slightest suspicion.
Actually…
There was no need to.
This gust of wind had tried holding back for him.
Mo Jue looked at her deeply without saying a word. A moment later, he nodded hard. “Very well.”
He would.
He did not know how to trust her, but he would learn how to trust a person.
‘Wei Wei, you are the first person I really like. There are many things I do not know, and all I wanted was to keep you by my side at all costs. I hence made mistakes and took unnecessary detours because of my pride. I couldn’t put down my pride and ask people. This is why we wasted so much time.’
‘You were also in the wrong by not saying anything and looking aloof about it. If you often told me where I had gone wrong and what I should do, I would have entered your heart long ago.’
At least, they did not have to suspect each other.
Mo Jue hugged her and felt content. He solemnly said, “Wei Wei, please tell me what I’ve done wrong in the future, okay? I am afraid of losing you and hence did many things that went overboard. If I have done wrong, please tell me what I should do, okay?”
Ye Wei looked at him intently. ‘Hm? When did he get it?’
“I’ll say it now.”
Mo Jue nodded.
“Do not have people tail me. I hate people stalking me 24/7. It makes me extremely uncomfortable.”
Mo Jue pondered and nodded unwillingly.
“I’ll be the center of all things. You will not do anything that displeases me!”
Mo Jue was slightly unhappy and he pondered for a moment longer. “That’ll depend on the situation.”
Ye Wei rolled her eyes. “Let’s call it a day for now. I’ll tell you when I think of it.”
When she rambled on casually, Mo Jue suddenly regretted it.
How the heck did he manage to tolerate Ye Wei’s overbearing character?
