Chapter 40 The CEO's Runaway Omega And Three Little Buns 18

Li Shiyu held the helm of his clothes tightly as if he felt guilty but He Yuan knew it was a farce as the omega's eyes said differently.

Zhang Jun tried to grab Li Shiyu but the omega shook his head and took a peek at He Yuan. This caused the alpha to glare at He Yuan. "What?"

He Yuan shook his head. "Nothing, I just enjoy watching clowns display."

"You-" Zhang Jun stopped and took a breath to calm himself. "I left a document in your room. I'm done with all your evasion, make sure to sign it."

Oh. He Yuan quirked a brow. The divorce papers were finally here? He only laughed as he walked up to the room. His laughter increased when he went through the terms on the divorce papers. Zhang Jun really took him for a fool.

A clause in the agreement stated that Li Yexi was to return the 5% shares that had been given to him in exchange for a meagre two hundred thousand and a house. There was no clause however that prompted Zhang Jun to also return the 5% shares of the Li corporation.

He Yuan laughed coldly as he tore up the agreement. Zhang Jun was a greedy piece of shit. He knew clearly that the shares in Li Yexi's hands were worth over two million and yet he was going to offer four hundred thousand and a house worth five hundred thousand. Such a cheapskate.

He Yuan was about to go up in flames of anger when his phone suddenly rang. It was one of the shareholders in the Zhang corporation, the biggest shareholder apart from the Zhang family.

He had asked for a meeting with the man earlier. Since the Zhang conglomerate was going to go through a crisis in the near future, he decided to sell off the 5% that Li Yexi owned. Money was better.

He grabbed a different file from the safe, picked up his keys and went downstairs again. The alpha and omega were cuddled close to each other and Zhang Jun was about to open his adulterous mouth to ask about the documents when He Yuan strode out the door and closed it with a bang.

888 laughed. [So fierce.]

He Yuan drove over to a classy restaurant. The shareholder had already reserved a booth and was waiting inside.

The good looking alpha adjusted the lapels of his suit and chuckled when He Yuan came in. "I didn't dare think you were being serious. Is your husband aware of this?"

He Yuan shrugged, he wasn't here to chat. "Whether he is aware or not has nothing to do with you. Do you want the shares or not?"

The alpha laughed. "What is your price?"

He Yuan threw the file on the table. "Two point five million."

The alpha looked over the documents and smiled as he signed the papers and wrote a check. He had written two point eight million instead. He Yuan frowned.

"You seem like a pretty smart omega and beautiful too. How you managed to get yourself tangled up in Zhang Jun's drama is beyond me, how about we-"

He Yuan scoffed as he stood up. "If this is you trying to flirt with me, then you may as well give up. I'm not interested. The deal is done so have a good day." And then he walked out of the private booth.

There was no way he'd get involved with somebody like that. First, this body wasn't his and Li Yexi was going to take over once his task was complete and second, he wouldn't touch anything that was remotely connected to Zhang Jun or his company with a ten foot long pole.

888 chuckled. [You know, some taskers don't mind indulging once in a while. Even if the body isn't theirs.]

He Yuan froze. "So they go about sleeping with other people using a leaser's body? What of when they return?"

888 shrugged. [The leasers would just have to suck it up I guess.]

He Yuan opened the car and got in. He wasn't comfortable with the idea of using another person's body to have sex or be in a relationship for that matter. It was clearly doomed to fail. The taskers would have to return sooner or later.

Imagine a leaser returning to his or her body only to find out that the tasker had used it to indulge. That was the height of violation. How on earth did the tasker expect the leaser to deal with the relationship they left behind? Pretend as if they were the main object of adoration or break up and hurt the other person who would be thinking that they were dumped for no reason?

Whichever way you look at it, someone would get hurt so it was better for the taskers to just focus on their own jobs and not mess with a leaser's love life!

He Yuan drove to a park after. He was suddenly pissed. Was there any way for a tasker to actually find love without messing up a leaser's life? He wasn't planning on falling in love or anything.

Heck, he didn't even know what love truly meant but he wanted to be sure that when he indeed fell for someone, this so called job wouldn't be his downfall. Thinking of it, the taskers seemed a bit pitiful. Spending all of eternity alone.

They were alone because even if they managed to fall in love with someone in a task realm, that love ended once the leaser returned. No such thing as your partner following you after death. You both had to part ways for good.

888 materialized next to He Yuan on the bench. There were people walking about the park, but they couldn't see him. He looked to his host and sighed. "Do you regret it?"

He Yuan laughed. "Why should I? Compared to a love that I might never find, living forever seemed much better. It's easier for me because I've never been in love anyways. I'm good with it. I just feel bad for others who put their hearts on the line."

888 smiled. "You're an empath aren't you? Sometimes I feel like you care so much about too little and that might cause you to be swallowed up by people who are tougher in this line of work."

He Yuan looked to 888 in surprise. "Are we really having a deep conversation right now? I thought you hated the very thought of my existence."

888 stared at the sky. "Being bound to a novice isn't the nicest feeling. If you mess up and get yourself killed, I'm going with you, no questions asked."

He Yuan stared as 888's glasses glinted in the sun. The system was in an all black wear. Black blazer, black shirt and jeans, black boots. He only ever wore black and even if he was just sitting and doing nothing, he looked more like the top boss of some top secret assassin organization.

He Yuan sighed. The systems were actually the most pitiful in this situation. They were bound by layers upon layers of restrictions and still had their survival bound to the taskers.

If the taskers made a stupid decision, it affected them too. The worst part was that they didn't really have much of a say. Even if a system should advise a tasker against a particular decision. The tasker could refuse to listen but where does that place the systems?

"Why don't you quit?"

888 laughed and the cerulean blue eyes behind the glasses twinkled. "We're not like you guys. There's only one way out for us and that's total obliteration."

He Yuan's heart shook and he impulsively raised his hand to stroke 888's long silver hair, he looked a bit crazy to the passersby. "It must really suck to be a system."

888 glared at He Yuan and pulled away from his host before sighing. "You don't know how much."
