Month: December 2024 (Page 2 of 4)

       When the time on the monitor hit 00:00, the data on the platform’s settlement page was locked, and the finance department began an intense round of financial calculations. The busy anniversary week was finally over, and soon, the results would be revealed.

       Chu Yunhan paced around the office restlessly and almost bumped into the financial director who had walked in. He stared at the page in the other person’s hand, wanting to read it but not daring to look at it, and asked, “…how much is the increase?”

       “8.3%.” The financial director laughed. “Everyone is very happy. It’s really not easy.”

       Hearing this result, Chu Yunhan felt as if a huge firework exploded in his heart, and he was so excited that he wanted to jump up. However, due to the presence of the staff, he could only pretend to be calm. He coughed lightly, concealed his good mood, and said earnestly, “Well, it’s pretty good. Let’s give everyone a rest for the next week. Your department will have to work a little harder to pay out the bonuses.”

       As soon as the financial director left the room, he clenched his fists, made a gesture of victory celebration, and happily smashed the pillows on the sofa to the ceiling.

       He won!

       He finally got rid of Chu Yichen!

       From now on, he is free!

       Chu Yunhan couldn’t wait to go to his old house right now, throw this financial report in Chu Yichen’s face, and show him his results arrogantly. That guy’s face must be…

       When he thought of Chu Yichen’s face, his enthusiasm suddenly dropped by half. Even if that person knew he had won, he would probably just say ‘congratulations’ expressionlessly.

       What a bore.

       Anyway, the result was already set, so there was no rush; waiting a bit would make him appear more composed.

       Chu Yunhan was in a good mood and returned to Qinglan Villa. As soon as he entered the door, he picked up the chubby Auntie Song and spun her around three times.

       “Oh, Young Master, put me down quickly, I’m almost dizzy.” Auntie Song patted his shoulder in annoyance and said, “Why are you so happy today?”

       “My department store held a store celebration and made more than eight points more than last year in one breath. Isn’t it amazing?”

       “Amazing.” Aunt Song didn’t know what the eight points were, but she roughly knew that he would make money, and she was happy in her heart. But when she saw his haggard look, she felt distressed again and couldn’t help nagging, “Look at you, This hair, this beard… Oh my, your eyes are like those of a panda. How many nights have you stayed up? I’ll make you some wolfberry, lotus seed and white fungus soup. You can have a little after taking a bath, and then go to have a good sleep… “

       Chu Yunhan grinned and said, “Okay.”

       Seeing him go upstairs, Auntie Song couldn’t help but sigh, “I haven’t seen him so happy for a long time. He used to like to joke with us like this. Oh dear, if the Master knew that he was so capable, he would definitely be very happy.”

       Feng Tai, on the side, couldn’t help but feel emotional at the scene and sighed, “As long as Young Master is happy.”

       It was a sweet sleep, and he didn’t even have any dreams. Early the next morning, Chu Yunhan rushed excitedly to the old house. Unexpectedly, Chu Yichen left him in the study room, and he waited for more than an hour. The initial excitement turned into frustration while waiting. Chu Yunhan couldn’t help but want to go upstairs to find him but was blocked by Bai Xiao standing by the door.

       “What does this mean?” He frowned.

       “Young Master has asked you to wait for him here.”

       He lifted his wrist to reveal his watch, “I’ve been waiting here for almost an hour and a half. Where is he?”

       “Young Master Yun, if you don’t have the patience to wait, you might as well come back another day.”

       “Bai Xiao.” Chu Yunhan’s expression darkened, “If you feel unhappy that I hit you last time, you can hit me back. Stop putting on airs and throwing me attitude.”

       “Young Master Yun must be joking. How dare I.” Bai Xiao looked at him and said coldly, “You should know very well that the only reason you succeeded then was because I wasn’t on guard. You’ve never tasted the pain of being hurt by someone you’re supposed to protect because you’ve always been the one causing harm. But remember this: your reckless, wanton behaviour can only hurt those who don’t expect it from you.”

       “I don’t need you to lecture me.”

       “Of course, you don’t need to.” Bai Xiao raised the corners of his lips a bit mockingly, “I’m just a dog, so I’m not qualified to preach to you. I just need to keep an eye on this door.”

       Seeing the other party acting like this, Chu Yunhan said angrily, “Get out of my way!”

       The two were in a stalemate when a voice sounded outside the door.

       “Bai Xiao.”

       “Young Master…” Bai Xiao turned around and saw Chu Yichen, a look of concern appearing on his face. His gaze immediately shifted to Hei Yu, who was standing beside Chu Yichen. Hei Yu frowned slightly and gave a subtle nod. Bai Xiao stepped aside helplessly and opened the door.

       Chu Yichen walked into the study and sat down on the sofa near the door. He seemed very tired, and his face was without colour. He looked at Chu Yunhan for a while and said, “Congratulations, you are free.”

       Unexpectedly, he was so straightforward. Chu Yunhan held the financial statement in his hand and suddenly felt at a loss. He coughed awkwardly and said, “Then I… will leave first.” When he walked to the door, he heard the man say softly, “Chu Yunhan.”

       He turned around.

       Among the huge walls of books surrounded on three sides, Chu Yichen sat on the sofa and looked sideways at himself. The sunlight casts in the mottled shadows of the trees from the window behind him, and the light and shadow divide the handsome face into two sides with different light and dark sides, one gentle and the other gloomy. Those black eyes seemed to be filled with misty night, and they seemed to be hidden in the shadow of the moon in the drifting clouds, making it difficult to distinguish. The man looked at him deeply, and after a long time, he spoke again, “All properties under your name will be under your control from now on. I will have all the information sent to Qinglan Mansion later.”

       He felt surprised, pursed his lips, and said, ‘Oh’. He then asked, “Is there anything else?”

       “Let Bai Yang follow you. He will be yours from now on.” The man seemed tired, sitting on the back of the sofa, slowly closing his eyes. “Now go.”

       Chu Yunhan walked slowly out of the door and looked back. Bai Xiao had closed the door to the study room. He paused for a moment and walked out.

       “Young Master Yun, where are you going next?” Bai Yang asked, opening the car door for him.

       He was stunned for a while and then said, “Go see my mother.”

       The car slowly drove away from the Chu family’s old residence. He watched the familiar scenery passing by the car window, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

       He won.

       He finally got rid of Chu Yichen.

       From then on, he was still the glorious Young Master of the Chu family.

       But why was the joy in his heart not as strong as he expected?

       Chu Yichen took away everything from him, forced him to submit with horrific methods, and even almost forced him to death.

       But why was the hatred in his heart not as strong as he expected?

       When he was about to leave, when he was finally free, and when he was looking at that man, what were these indescribable feelings stirring inside? It was as if something weighed heavily on his chest, making each breath feel stifled and uncomfortable.

       Maybe he had Stockholm Syndrome? Chu Yunhan shook his head vigorously and took out his mobile phone with some irritability to broadcast, “It’s me, where are you guys playing tonight, count me in.”

       It didn’t matter if he was in a bad mood. He just needed to have some fun.

       After visiting his mother in a nursing home, Chu Yunhan, dressed casually, finally returned to his long-lost nightlife.

       Loud music, swaying lights, wildly twisting bodies on the dance floor, all the unpleasantness was evaporated in the excitement and alcohol. Chu Yunhan had not been so free and unrestrained for a long time. He lazily leaned on the leather sofa in the VIP room and slowly drank the wine from the glass.

       “How come Eldest Young Master Yun has time to fool around with us today? Isn’t that department store going bankrupt because of you?” Lu Yao, who was sitting opposite him, said with a smile.

       “It didn’t close down, and I heard that the profits of the Golden Prosperity store increased a lot during its anniversary. Yesterday, my dad used him as an example to criticise me. He said that the mall I had been in for so many years was not as good as the Eldest Young Master Chu’s, which was there only for three months .” Zhang Fei put his legs on the coffee table and swayed.

       “Tsk, tsk, our Young Master Yun is really amazing.” Zhou Hua gestured with his thumb and said in a high-pitched voice, “I’m almost falling in love with you.”

       The other two burst into laughter.

       “Go away.” Chu Yunhan smiled. He kicked him, and said, “Remember to call me when you go out to play in the future.” After pausing, he added, “Also, I’ve taken over a few businesses, so let me know if there’s any profitable news.”

       Lu Yao said, “Hey, are you going to work seriously now? Honestly, did your iceberg cousin force you to do it?”

       “There’s no need to mention him..” Chu Yunhan glanced at him, “I’m here to have fun today. What’s so fun about him?”

       Zhou Hua looked at his phone and grinned, “I know you were busy some time ago, and I was afraid that you would get bored, so I specially called a few girls to come over to help with the fun. Do you still remember that Nuannuan?” Seeing his not-remembering-look, he reminded, “The model with big breasts and big butt, sexy as hell, and a baby face… Hey, that’s the one you took out for the night, gave her 20,000 yuan, and asked me to give the money back to you…”

       “Oh.” Now that it was mentioned, he did vaguely remember.

       “She became famous in an online drama a while ago, and her current net worth is not ordinary. I asked her several times but she never came. This time when I said you were here, she said she was free.” Zhou Hua looked at his phone, ” She said she would arrive in a short while and she would bring several young models from her company with her.”

       “It seems there’s some mutual interest; it all depends on whether Young Master Yun is heartless or not.” Zhang Fei joked.

       Chu Yunhan raised his lips and smiled but said nothing. He had indeed been in a state of high pressure and depression during this period. It would be nice to have a well-behaved girl to keep him company.

       As the name suggests, Nuannuan¹nuan means warm was very considerate, gentle and lovely. Once Chu Yunhan was released from the ban, he inevitably indulged and drank a little too much. He put his arms around her and entered the hotel’s dedicated suite. He was forced by Chu Yichen to accept a man before, and later, he was busy working in a department store. He had no time to find a woman to relieve his desire. Now, the other woman took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, making him feel hot all over.

       He opened the door and kicked off his shoes, lifted the woman and threw her on the big bed, then pressed her on her. As their lips and tongues intertwined, they had already taken off each other’s clothes. After some rubbing and teasing foreplay, he straightened his waist and penetrated into the already her already wet place.

       Nuannuan groaned and exasperatingly said, “Young Master Yun, be gentle. It hurts.”

       Chu Yunhan spread her white legs and used his full sexual organ to hit that tight and soft place without any gentleness. The friction ignited the pleasure, but as the movements deepened and desire surged, an unbearable feeling of emptiness lingered like maggots on the tarsal bones.

       Not enough…

       His body was clamouring for something more intense and exciting…

       He sped up his movements as roughly as a trapped animal. Nuannuan changed from moaning to crying under his merciless impact and finally couldn’t help but struggle hard. He had to slow down and lean forward to kiss and caress the woman’s tender body again.

       Then, Chu Yunhan discovered another terrible obstacle in his body.

       He was unable to ejaculate naturally.

       Whenever he was about to ejaculate, his body suddenly began to restrain itself and forcefully endure the gushing desire. This back-and-forth sexual intercourse eventually became a form of torture for both men and women. Just when he couldn’t release his orga-m for the third time, he screamed with red eyes, punched the bed hard, then rolled out of bed, rushed into the bathroom, and slammed the door.

       The cold water fell from his head, removing the heat from his body.

       He raised his face and leaned against the wall tremblingly.

       Chu Yichen, you turned me into a monster.

       You win.

       It was getting late, and Chu Yichen was leaving a social gathering. After getting in the car, he received a report from Bai Xiao.

       “Eldest Young Master just went to Lihao because of a dispute with an escort. According to the investigation, her name is Lan Xin. She is 38 years old and lives with her five-year-old daughter. Her husband has a gambling addiction, with several debts at a lending company and some external debts as well. She often physically abuses the mother and daughter and demands money from them. This time, Lan Xin was forced to try to borrow money from a customer. When the customer got angry, she was beaten. Eldest Young Master stopped him. After that, the Eldest Young Master ordered Bai Yang to mobilise some people from the East District to give Lan Xin’s husband a lesson, and…” He paused awkwardly and saw the man looking up at him, so he had to continue. He said, “And brought Lan Xin and her daughter back to Qinglan’s mansion.”

       Chu Yichen was slightly startled when he heard the words Qinglan Mansion. His handsome face looked a bit lonely under the flickering light outside the car window. He seemed a little tired. He leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes. No emotion could be heard in his tone.

       “Let him be.”

       How long had it been since he had been back here?

       Chu Yunhan got out of the car and looked at the European-style building before him, feeling a little sad. Since his father’s death, and after his mother couldn’t bear the blow and was sent to a nursing home due to her mental issues, he rarely returned to this place called ‘home’.

       At first, he lived in an apartment under his name, but later, he spent his time in hotels or vacation villas, and days went by like that. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to come back; it was just that every time he stepped in here and saw those familiar faces and things, he couldn’t help but remember the happy days from the past, which only made him even more uncomfortable when he was alone.

       After getting the news, the old housekeeper, Feng Tai, who was waiting at the door, saw him. His eyes were a little moist, and he said, “Young Master, you are back.”

       “Yeah.” He laughed, “Uncle Feng, you should wear a bit more at night. It’s not good to be so concerned about your appearance.” As he walked inside, he continued, “You missed me, didn’t you?”

       “Yes, we all miss you very much.” Feng Tai’s voice was choked with sobs. He watched Chu Yunhan grow up and also watched him encounter changes in his parents. Although they had a master-servant relationship in terms of status, he always treated Yunhan as his son emotionally. He understood why Yunhan didn’t come back, and he was willing to wait here for him to come back.

       “Young Master is back?!” A mellow female voice rang out. The fair and plump woman hurried out in a coat. When she saw Chu Yunhan, she cried with joy and complained, “Young Master, how can you leave this family and leave us alone?!” and simultaneously asked, “Are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I’ll cook it for you.” When she caught sight of Lan Xin and her daughter following behind, she paused for a moment, her eyes lighting up, “Young Master, this child isn’t…?”

       “Auntie Song, she is my friend.” Chu Yunhan knew she was thinking the wrong way again. He couldn’t laugh or cry. He touched his stomach and said, “I’m really hungry. Make us something delicious, okay?”

       “Okay, okay.” The round, plump woman, disappointed after her failed attempt at gossip, went off to cook.

       Over there, Feng Tai had already made tea and brought it over, and he didn’t forget to prepare some biscuits for Yuanyuan. Lan Xin thanked him repeatedly, and the thin Yuanyuan stared timidly at the cookie jar in his hand, not daring to take it. She was only five years old and did not yet understand the complex world of adults. She only knew that her father was easily angry and would hit her when he was angry, so she did not dare to do anything, not even to call him ‘Daddy’. Her mother was often beaten and would always cry while hugging herself. Her mother also had to make money to support herself. She worked very late and was very tired, so she couldn’t ask for this or that.

       Seeing this, Chu Yunhan knelt down, took a biscuit and threw it into his mouth, then handed it to her, grinning, “It tastes good. Try it?”

       Yuanyuan’s big eyes stared closely at Chu Yunhan in front of him. She remembered that this uncle had just come to the house with many people dressed in black and then said, “Don’t do anything in front of the child.” Then, the men in black dragged her drunk father out. She didn’t ask where her father was, and her mother didn’t tell her. Her mother only told her that this uncle’s surname was Chu and that he would protect them. This uncle was different from my father—he was very beautiful, very clean, and spoke very softly. He even asked someone to find warm clothes for her to wear so for her he wasn’t scary.

       “You really don’t want it? Then I’ll take it.” Chu Yunhan shook the jar.

       Yuanyuan bit her lip and mustered up the courage to reach over and take a piece. He kept looking at the other person’s face the whole time, like a wary little animal.

       Chu Yunhan didn’t move and kept smiling at her.

       She finally put the cookie into her mouth, took a bite, and mumbled a thank you.

       “Is it delicious?” he asked.

       She nodded.

       “It’s all for you.” He handed over the jar. Yuanyuan looked up at Lan Xin, somewhat surprised. Lan Xin’s eyes were red as she said, “Just take it.” Only then did the little girl accept the jar, immediately expressing her thanks.

       “You should let her go to kindergarten and spend more time with her.” Chu Yunhan stood up and said to Lan Xin.

       “I saved money before and wanted her to go, but then…” She thought of her husband, who was worse than a beast. Filled with both hatred and guilt towards her daughter, she couldn’t continue speaking.

       “I will take care of Yuanyuan’s tuition. Your husband should not cause trouble again in the future. You can live here for the time being. Don’t go to Lihao anymore. Uncle Feng will arrange a job here for you. Cleaning or helping in the kitchen will not be very tiring. The salary will be higher than before, and you can spend more time with Yuanyuan. If you don’t want to work here, I can ask someone to find another job for you.”

       Lan Xin’s tears rolled down, and she choked up, “I want to. I want to… I don’t know how to thank you anymore. Really, I really… thank you…”

       “Why are you crying again?” He laughed helplessly and said jokingly, “I remember you always said that you were a tigress. Tigress don’t cry so easily.”

       She couldn’t help but smile and wipe away her tears. In a harsh living environment, she was accustomed to being covered in armour and struggling alone. Only when she had a solid shoulder to rely on did she reveal the softest side of a woman.

       Lan Xin understood that Chu Yunhan was just repaying the favour she had done for helping him. These things might not be worth mentioning to Chu Yunhan, but to her, this man pulled her and Yuanyuan out of the mire and saved their lives. Starting tomorrow, everything will be different.

       After settling the mother and daughter, Chu Yunhan happily drank the seafood porridge made by Auntie Song and took a shower. It was already midnight. He lay down in his room and looked at the family photo placed by the bedside. His fingers brushed over the old man’s smile and his parents’ faces little by little, with a gentle light in his eyes. His eyes slowly turned to his high-spirited self, smiled, and finally stopped on the face of Chu Yichen standing aside.

       He still remembered the day the photo was taken. The elders were laughing and talking, and the children were playing. He stood between them and secretly stretched out his fingers behind Chu Yichen and Chu Minran’s heads to make bunny ears while taking pictures. His father scolded him.

       Sure enough, he would always recall the past in this house and smile bitterly. After experiencing betrayal, escape, detention, struggle, r4p3 and suicide, looking back at old photos and thinking of the close companionship when he was young, it felt like a lifetime ago.

       In the still photo, young Chu Yichen looked at him silently with his black eyes. Chu Yunhan suddenly felt a little upset and placed the photo frame face down on the bedside table.

       I’m almost there. With just a little more effort, I can get rid of this person.

       He covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep.

       Lan Xin and her daughter were left in the care of Feng Tai, which made Chu Yunhan feel at ease. The next morning, he went to work with renewed energy. He needed to focus all his efforts on winning the tough battle to increase sales by eight percent. As the store’s anniversary week approached, he became busier, spending all day in the office. Unfortunately, the closer he got to the critical moment, the more problems arose, like a student about to enter an exam room suddenly realising they forgot to bring an eraser or that their pen was out of ink. Though these were minor issues, they kept his nerves on edge.

       A few days later, the anxious student Chu Yunhan finally faced this major test. The seven days of the anniversary week felt like the shortest seven days of his life. Although they extended the operating hours by four hours each day, it still didn’t feel like enough.

       He did not have high hopes for an increase in offline sales. He only hoped to remain relatively flat, focusing mainly on online sales. Since the store’s opening, Chu Yunhan, who was closely focused on the backend data of the website, had hardly had much rest. He drank one cup after another of coffee. After three days, he almost fell into a strange state of confusion and excitement, with dark circles under his eyes. With stubble on his face and messy hair, Bai Yang forced him into the office restroom and finally fell asleep.

       In a daze, he felt someone sitting down next to him and gently stroking his hair. The warm touch was a little familiar, and the light fragrance in his nose was also a little familiar. He wanted to avoid that hand, but he didn’t have much strength. He couldn’t even open his eyes to see who it was. So he could only drift off into one strange and bizarre dream after another. It was an uneasy sleep, and he woke up an hour later. No one was around him except for a thermos bucket on the table containing fragrant wild ginseng and chicken soup.

       Chu Yunhan took a sip and asked Bai Yang, “Where did the soup come from?”

       “Auntie Song made it and had it delivered.”

       He stared at Bai Yang for a while without saying anything. Then he lowered his head, finished the soup, and said, “Tell her not to bring it again.”

       “Yes.”

       He had always had a discerning palate and was very sensitive to the flavours of food. This soup had been on the bland side, with a light flavour and soft chicken, not made by Aunt Song. He had tasted this kind of chicken soup before.

       In the Chu family’s old house, it was Auntie Wang’s work.

       Who brought the chicken soup? Who was the person in the dream just now that he couldn’t see clearly?

       Since the other party wanted to hide it, he didn’t want to reveal it.

       Chu Yichen, you came to see if I can win, right?
