Chapter 36: Second Uncle Will Teach You Personally
Tang Liyue shook her head in amusement and exasperation. Finally, feeling a bit nervous, she opened Yu Mo Yuan’s WeChat.
She had saved his messages for last because she always had a strange feeling about him.
It was as if she should keep her distance.
During work hours, she was his assistant and had to respond to him immediately.
But now that it was after hours, when she replied was her choice.
Upon opening his chat, she saw two messages from Yu Mo Yuan.
【Yu Mo Yuan: Be at the private helipad on the east side of the estate at 9 AM sharp tomorrow.】
【Yu Mo Yuan: Also, bring the documents from my desk.】
Helipad?
Tang Liyue frowned in confusion and replied.
【Tang Liyue: Where am I going?】
Yu Mo Yuan replied instantly.
【Yu Mo Yuan: You’re my assistant. Where else would you go?】
Tang Liyue’s heart skipped a beat.
Wait… was he taking her on a business trip?!
She hesitated and tried to resist.
【Tang Liyue: I’ve only been working for a day. I don’t know much yet…】
Yu Mo Yuan’s response was merciless.
【Yu Mo Yuan: You’ve already called me ‘Second Uncle’ a few times. If you don’t understand something, I’ll teach you personally.】
“…”
Tang Liyue fell silent.
She was speechless.
She grabbed a pillow and buried her face in it.
If the salary were even slightly lower, she would have refused immediately!
But…
50,000 yuan a month plus a 100,000 yuan year-end bonus was too hard to resist.
Tang Liyue muttered into the pillow, “Yu Mo Yuan promised he wouldn’t touch me. Even if I go on this trip, it should be fine… right?”
Besides, she was already his assistant.
Even if she avoided this trip, there would always be more in the future.
She agonized over it for a long time before finally sending a lifeless reply.
【Tang Liyue: Understood…】
With a heavy heart, she fell asleep.
Meanwhile.
On the open-air deck of the OX cruise ship, floating in international waters…
Yu Mo Yuan and Qin Shi An stood side by side at the railing.
Behind them was a towering luxury ship spanning more than ten stories.
In front of them was the endless, pitch-black ocean.
Both men held glasses of wine, gazing at the moonlit horizon.
Qin Shi An Speaks: “The goods have been arranged. The transaction is in three days. This time, you need to oversee it personally.”
Yu Mo Yuan raised an eyebrow. “Oh? You have something going on?”
“Yeah.” Qin Shi An’s gaze softened. “Three days from now is the 22nd birthday of someone I like.”
His words piqued Yu Mo Yuan’s interest.
“You actually have someone you like? You’ve never mentioned it before.”
Qin Shi An chuckled. “There’s no point mentioning it to you guys, you’re all completely unromantic. Besides, she’s very obedient and pure, not someone who should know people like you.”
Qin Shi An was a traditional man, even a bit overprotective.
He could walk the knife’s edge himself, but he refused to let the people he cared about come into contact with any darkness in this world.
Just like how, despite being friends with Yu Mo Yuan and Yuan Suo for over a decade, he had never introduced his family or younger sister to them.
He had always shielded his precious sister, Qin Jiao Jiao, from the dangers of their world.
And now, the woman he liked would be protected just as fiercely.
Yu Mo Yuan’s Thoughtful Reply: “Speaking of obedient and pure… that reminds me of someone.”
Qin Shi An was surprised. He turned to look at Yu Mo Yuan. “You have someone you like too?”
“Not quite.” Yu Mo Yuan tipped back his glass, finishing the wine in one go, then curled his lips into a smirk.
“She just makes life a little more interesting.”
Qin Shi An raised an eyebrow. “Now I’m curious. Who is she?”
Yu Mo Yuan’s smirk deepened. “The wife that Zhao Zhiliu picked for Minchuan. Technically… she’s my niece-in-law.”
“Pfft!”
Even the ever-composed Qin Shi An couldn’t hold back his shock. The wine he hadn’t swallowed sprayed out instantly.
After coughing a few times, he gave Yu Mo Yuan a speechless look.
“I know you’re rebellious, but you’re not actually eyeing your own niece-in-law, are you? You really want to make things even worse between you and Minchuan?”
Yu Mo Yuan set down his glass. “But this time, it was Minchuan who deliberately sent her to my bed.”
Qin Shi An’s expression twisted in disbelief. “That’s something Minchuan would actually do?”
Yu Mo Yuan, however, remained indifferent. “It doesn’t matter what he does. As long as it makes him feel better, let him play his games.”
“So… can you guess what he’s really trying to do?”
Yu Mo Yuan fell silent for a moment, then finally said,
“Minchuan is no longer the person he used to be. I can’t read his mind anymore.”
Let Minchuan do whatever he wants.
It was better than being a walking corpse.
If Minchuan wanted to push Tang Liyue toward him, then he’d simply accept it.
Tang Liyue might be a little naive, but she was pure-hearted, beautiful, and had a great body. He had no reason to reject her.
As for Minchuan’s true intentions in doing this…
He didn’t know yet.
But one day, he would.
Qin Shi An, uninterested in Yu Mo Yuan’s family drama, downed the last sip of his wine and said,
“I’m leaving OX to you for now. I’ll be back in a week to take over again.”
“Leaving tonight?”
“Yeah, going back to spend some time with my parents and Jiao Jiao.”
“Alright then. Get lost.”
Qin Shi An’s Unexpected Dilemma.
Qin Shi An returned to his room, picked up his charging phone, and prepared to board his private jet.
But the moment he grabbed his phone, it started vibrating non-stop.
He glanced at the screen, countless missed calls from Qin Jiao Jiao.
At that moment, she was also spamming him with WeChat messages.
And the content?
Only one thing.
【Qin Jiao Jiao: I want to be the assistant to the CEO’s assistant at Yu Group!】
The assistant to the CEO’s assistant?
Wouldn’t that mean she wanted to work under Yuan Suo?
When did she and Yuan Suo even get to know each other?
Qin Shi An’s brows furrowed tightly. He replied:
【Qin Shi An: No.】
Qin Jiao Jiao responded instantly.
【Qin Jiao Jiao: Then I’ll tell Liyue that you were the one who gave her that necklace!】
【Qin Jiao Jiao: I’ll also tell Mom and Dad that you have ties to Yu Mo Yuan!】
【Qin Jiao Jiao: AND I won’t take Liyue to Ming Yue You You for her birthday in three days, so you won’t even get to see her!】
Qin Shi An’s face darkened.
He gave in.
【Qin Shi An: Fine. I’ll make arrangements in a few days.】
Qin Jiao Jiao wasn’t satisfied.
【Qin Jiao Jiao: No! I want to start tomorrow!】
Qin Shi An sighed, massaging his temples in frustration.
He finally sent a voice message:
“Got it. I’ll talk to Yu Mo Yuan.”
Qin Jiao Jiao giggled and sent back a voice reply:
“Hehe, big bro is the best! Love you the most~”
There was nothing Qin Shi An could do when it came to Qin Jiao Jiao.
All he could do was give in to her wishes while also making sure that Yuan Suo voluntarily kept his distance from her.
Before boarding his flight, he called Yu Mo Yuan.
Yu Mo Yuan picked up, and Qin Shi An got straight to the point:
“My sister wants to be Yuan Suo’s assistant.”
Yu Mo Yuan was clearly surprised.
“You’re not keeping her sheltered anymore? How does she even know Yuan Suo?”
“I have no idea, but let her be. Can you arrange it?”
“I can, but Yuan Suo is resigning in a month to focus on running MX.”
MX, their underground business, an internationally infamous assassins’ organization.
Qin Shi An replied, “That works out perfectly. I don’t want them getting too close anyway. Just let Jiao Jiao play around for a month, consider it life experience.”
Yu Mo Yuan agreed.
“Alright, I’ll handle it.”
After ending the call, Qin Shi An boarded his plane, flying back to City A overnight.
What he didn’t know, His return would lead him to just barely miss the one person he truly wanted to see, Tang Liyue.
