Chapter 64 - Promise

Long Ying looked at the door with his silver eyes. His lips curled up into a smile. "How unexpected that my woman is actually your woman's best friend, Liang."

"I should be the one saying that," Zhang Liang replied calmly. He looked at Long Ying. "I thought that the two of us can live our separate lives without interfering with each other, but it seems impossible with this condition."

"I stand by my word before. Dragon Clan will never make things difficult for you."

"I'm the same. The military won't interfere too much as long as you don't go overboard."

Zhang Liang didn't really want to have a chat with Long Ying if it was unnecessary. The two of them had met during his time serving in the military because the military was chasing after him. They were seen as criminal that have to be apprehended because of their doings. 

Yet at the same time, the authorities didn't really put their best effort and only sent a weaker team to chase after Dragon Clan.

Through coincidence, Zhang Liang met with Long Ying when the latter was wounded. He could have just handed him to the authorities, but at that time, Zhang Liang wanted to make a deal. He might be part of the military, but he still valued his family and his own life. Since Dragon Clan focused in the capital city, it was also the place where he stayed most of the time.

Zhang Liang helped out Long Ying to return back and the two of them agreed to never bother with one another. Dragon Clan will never accept any request that was related to Zhang Liang's family, but that didn't extend to his far relative since Zhang Liang himself didn't care. Zhang Liang will use his connection in the military to make it easier for Long Ying to stay there without the need to worry.

Of course, Long Ying shouldn't act overboard.

Long Ying nodded. "I want another thing too. Make sure that your little wife never got hurt. I don't want my woman sad because you didn't take care of her well."

After that meetings, the two of them kept contact with each other. Zhang Liang's connection in the military was not that deep but there was still some. Of course, if he wanted to get connected to the higher ups, he would need more influential people but so far, that connection was enough.

It was not like Long Ying planned to get involved in something nasty to the point that he offended the entire nation either.

And through that one meeting, Long Ying also get acquainted to some influential people who had large influence in their own circle. Some of them were easy to talk with while some others… were a pain in the *ss.

Zhang Liang arched his eyebrows. "Even without you saying that, I will surely do it. Though, I want to ask the same to you."

"Heh, I'll be fine on my own. As if I'll let anyone touch my woman." Long Ying's eyes glowed in dangerous light. He already made that promise to himself when he first decided to bring Yu Yan into his life. Seeing her crying and suffering alone was torturing, so he wished that he could share her burden by bringing her to his world.

Even though Zhang Liang knew that the underworld was more complicated, he didn't have any interest to pry deeper. He merely looked at Long Ying. "I won't let you off if you make my wife's sad, so you better keep that in mind."

Long Ying smirked. "You know that I have the same opinion, right?"

"Indeed."

The laughter from the room interrupted their conversation. It was clear the two of them have fun with each other. The two men could only sigh helplessly. They couldn't get along with one another because of their difference, but they needed to tolerate each other's presence.

At the very least, when their women were visiting each other.

Klek!

Yu Yan walked out first. She smiled when she saw the two of them. "Ying, I want to go back to work."

Long Ying arched his eyebrows. He shot a glare at Zhang Liang, who merely passed him a cold gaze. Zhang Liang was not involved in this decision at all and Long Ying hated the fact that his woman was working in Zhang Liang's company.

"You can just stay at home…"

"No. I want to work as manager and make my way to the top," Yu Yan replied firmly.

Long Ying sighed. "Liang, transfer her to your main company in the capital city."

"And you expect me to just agree to your words?"

Long Ying shot a glare. "I'll send you one of my men to help protecting your company in the capital city."

"I want two."

"…Fine."

Feng Mian was amused when she saw the two men bickered. She looked at Yu Yan and patted the latter's shoulder. "Heh, become a director or even higher. I'm sure that you'll be able to achieve that position."

"Sure."

Zhang Liang arched his eyebrows. "Are you doubting my people?"

"No, but I just think that Yan'er is great. Sooner or later, she should be able to make it to the top."

"I don't mind. As long as she can prove her work and also make sure that she didn't get involved in the underworld that much."

"Not that much," Yu Yan replied. "Just enough to destroy my so called family that didn't deserve that relation."

She had been wondering whether Feng Mian would be that worried about her or not after she disappeared into the night with just a letter. Seeing Feng Mian again, she was even more determined to win this fight with her shameless family members. 

"Since you two have met with each other, let's go back," Long Ying said and stood up. He looked at Yu Yan. "You're staying with me."

Yu Yan pursed her lips. She noticed that Feng Mian was looking at her amusedly, but she merely shrugged. "Next time, you should share the juicy story. I'll share mine."

"Yan'er!"

"Sure."

"Mian'er!"
