196 Disobedient

Ming Liuyi mumbled, “I’ve already wiped it off, so shouldn’t you let me go?”

Yao Zizhou responded, “How disobedient.”

As he said this, he took Ming Liuyi’s hand and put it to his lips. Yao Zizhou flicked out his tongue and licked off the icing from her hand bit by bit.

Once he had licked everything clean, Yao Zizhou gave her a look as if he was not satiated yet. He said, “How delicious. Next time, you should slather more, my dear.”

Ming Liuyi turned beet red, and her voice turned coquettish as she said, “Stop messing around. We still have important matters to discuss.”

Yao Zizhou pressed close to Ming Liuyi and nuzzled her with the tip of his nose. Ming Liuyi acted as if she was being teased, and she stretched out her hand to lightly push Yao Zizhou away. Ming Liuyi asked, “Are all preparations for tomorrow complete?”

Since Ming Liuyi would not allow him to kiss her, Yao Zizhou could only lean on her shoulder and nuzzle against her neck, breathing in deeply like an intoxicated man. Yao Zizhou’s hair made Ming Liuyi feel ticklish, and she gently nudged at him.

Yao Zizhou whispered into Ming Liuyi’s ears, “I’ll only let you push me away twice. No more than that. If you try to push me away again, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to get out of bed tomorrow.”

Ming Liuyi was rendered speechless. She was seated on Yao Zizhou, and the rising body temperature between them gradually invaded her senses. She struggled to get up.

Yao Zizhou continued to put on a gentle expression even as he laid his head on her shoulder and hugged her tightly. He spoke hoarsely, “Don’t move. Just let me hug you for a while longer.”

Ming Liuyi sensed certain changes stirring in Yao Zizhou and immediately did not dare to move anymore. Yao Zizhou continued hugging her for a while longer before he reluctantly let her go. He said, “You can escape today, but you can’t escape tomorrow. When the time comes, I will collect all my dues with interest.”

Ming Liuyi hurried into the bathroom and pretended that she did not hear him.

Once both of them have washed up, they lay on the bed together.

Yao Zizhou said calmly, “I have two plans tomorrow. If Yao Ziyang does not cross the line, I will leave him some breathing room. If he does, I will double everything he throws at me.”

At the moment, Yao Gui and Ji Yue’s safety did not need Yao Zizhou’s concern. His only priority was Ming Liuyi.

Yao Zizhou lifted his hand and gently stroked Ming Liuyi’s ear. He said, “Once all the arrangements are complete, you just have to be your most beautiful self, and watch the show as the Madam of the Yao family.”

Ming Liuyi responded, “Don’t you need me to help out in some way?”

When Yao Zizhou heard this, he laughed a little and said, “Come to think of it, I do. If you feel overly emotional tomorrow, be sure not to cry buckets.”

Ming Liuyi said in slight confusion, “This… It’s the internal conflict among your Yao family. What would I become emotional about?”

Yao Zizhou did not respond to that, and only kissed her forehead lightly. He said, “Rest well. Have a good sleep.”

…

Everything was peaceful in the villa, but over at Yao Ziyang and Cai Rixi’s place, they were completely restless.

Yao Ziyang said, “Rixi, you head home first. Tomorrow you will have to attend the birthday banquet with your parents. Tell your parents to stay calm tomorrow.”

“Are you sure everything will work out fine tomorrow?” Cai Rixi asked.

Yao Ziyang narrowed his eyes, as though he could already picture what would happen the next day. He said, “The funds have been fully accumulated. And the smear campaign against Yao Zizhou was also sent out. I can’t wait to see the look of panic on his face.”

Cai Rixi nodded, got up, and instructed the driver to send her back to the Cai residence.

Upon walking through the door, Cai Rixi noticed that her parents were still in the living room, as if they were waiting for her.

Seeing that both were there, Cai Rixi said, “Dad, mom, I happen something to tell you.”

Cai Wenlun heaved a soft sigh and said, “Then, you go first.”

Cai Rixi said, “You’ve seen how Yao Zizhou behaved. During dad’s birthday, Yao Zizhou acted impertinently and was even deluded enough to want to buy over the Cai Group. How despicable! Tomorrow, during Yao Zizhou’s birthday banquet, Yao Ziyang intends to pay back all his deeds and take away everything belonging to Yao Zizhou. Yao Ziyang will also rise to the position of CEO of Yao Corporation and cause Yao Zizhou to completely lose face! Once that happens, our Cai family will be fully secure.”

Cai Rixi spoke very quickly and did not give Cai Wenlun the chance to cut in. She continued by saying, “So, no matter what happens tomorrow, don’t panic. When you’re asked to speak up, you just have to offer your support to Ziyang. This way, Ziyang will be able to properly protect the Cai family.”

Cai Wenlun could see that Cai Rixi was obsessed with the idea, and knew that no matter what he said, Cai Rixi would not listen to him anymore.

Cai Wenlun asked a question which he was deeply concerned about, “Rixi, I would like to ask you about something. Back then, how did you manage to get Ming Liuyi to become the bride substitute?”
