CHAPTER 54: 051 DRESSED BEAST

The clouds and rain of Mount Witches, the ultimate joy.

Zhuang Xiyue almost died beneath him, and after not knowing how many times she had been taken, they finally came to a halt.

Yan Nanmo kissed her affectionately and carried her to the bathroom for a bath. Zhuang Xiyue was so tired, she didn’t even want to move a finger. This man was nothing but a beast in gentleman’s clothing, appearing proper by day but turning into a wolf at night, almost wishing to devour her completely.

When the two were lying side by side on the big bed, Zhuang Xiyue closed her eyes, wanting to fall asleep, but Yan Nanmo wouldn’t let her, playing with her hair, "Wife, you still haven’t told me who upset you."

Zhuang Xiyue lazily responded, "Who else but that Yun Shu..."

Yan Nanmo’s eyes suddenly darkened, "Yun Shu?"

"Yes, Yun Shen’s mother, the one who suddenly appeared. That woman is nothing but a cunning fox." Zhuang Xiyue felt a wave of irritation at the thought of Yun Shu.

"What has she done to you?" Yan Nanmo’s tone carried a hint of danger.

Zhuang Xiyue suddenly burrowed into his embrace, holding onto his lean waist, "Husband, I really want a daughter, do you know that? The first time I saw Yun Ya, I liked her so much. I’ve thought countless times how great it would be if she were my daughter, so I wanted to make her my goddaughter. But Yun Shu, she wouldn’t agree. What right does she have to refuse? She’s only looked after Yun Ya for a few days, what right does she have to make decisions for her?"

Yan Nanmo’s eyes dimmed. Xiyue had been injured when giving birth to Yan Ke and could no longer have children. It was all his fault, and he had always felt guilty about it. He knew that Xiyue had always wanted a daughter, but he was powerless to help, so he could only strive to treat her well, slowly dissipating the shadows in her heart.

He had seen Yun Ya a few times; she was certainly clever, but perhaps too clever for her own good, having lost a child’s innocence. And those eyes, inscrutable, were unsettling on a five-year-old, warranting caution.

He patted her shoulder and soothed her with a soft voice, "It’s not necessary to make her your goddaughter to like her. If the Yun Family is not willing, let it be. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"You’re annoying. If she can’t be my daughter, then I want her as my daughter-in-law. I’ve set my mind on Yun Ya as my daughter-in-law, and I’ll be furious with anyone who tries to compete with me."

Yan Nanmo helplessly said, "Yan Song is still so young, aren’t you thinking too far ahead?"

Zhuang Xiyue lifted her head from his chest, "Who said anything about Yan Song? He shouldn’t even dream of it."

Yan Nanmo: ...

Liang Yu, holding a document, knocked on the door of the President’s office.

Yun Shen stood before the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the cityscape from the top floor of the Ji Group Building.

"President, here are all the documents you requested."

Liang Yu placed the documents on the desk, glanced at Yun Shen’s silhouette, and quietly retreated.

After a while, Yun Shen walked over, picked up the documents from the desk, and began examining them closely. The more he read, the darker his expression became.

Bai’s was mismanaged, their stock price plummeting dangerously, teetering on the brink of collapse. Bai Lun was robbing Peter to pay Paul. Bai’s was now a tangled mess, and bankruptcy seemed inevitable. In such a state, whoever took over would inherit nothing but trouble.

Bai Ran’s motives were not hard to guess; she simply wanted to use the momentum of Yun’s to save Bai’s. Bai Ran was somewhat capable, but plotting against him was simply asking for death.

According to the investigation, Bai Ran led a chaotic private life, maintaining intimate relationships with several men at the same time. Just thinking of her being touched by so many men made him sick to his stomach...

The documents were crumpled in his fist, veins bulging on the back of his hand, his face as cold as ice.

"Come in."

Liang Yu pushed the door open and entered, "President."

"Arrange a meeting for me with President Ye of Shenghua."

——

Today is the third recording of the show.

When Jiang Li came to pick up Yun Ya, Yun Shu looked at this very refined and gentle man and smiled, "Teacher Jiang, thank you for taking the trouble with our Yun Ya."

Jiang Li nodded slightly, "Yun Ya is the most intelligent and diligent student I’ve ever taught."

Yun Shu’s gaze flickered, "Is that so?"

Jiang Li didn’t know the woman’s role, rumored to be Yun Shen’s girlfriend, but her demeanor seemed much more mature, and pairing her with Yun Shen felt somewhat discordant.

"May I know who you are?"

Yun Shu replied with a graceful smile, "I am Yun Shu, Yun Ya’s grandmother."

Grandmother?

Jiang Li’s surprise flashed briefly before he nodded politely, "Lady Yun, my apologies for the intrusion."

"You’re too formal, Teacher Jiang. As Yun Ya’s teacher, there’s an old saying: once a teacher, always a father figure. Please, feel free to visit our home often."

Considering it for a moment, Jiang Li said, "Yun Ya is of age to start primary school. I think she needs..."

"Teacher Jiang..." suddenly Yun Ya called out.

Jiang Li turned to see Yun Ya leading Yun Miao down the stairs from the second floor, the girl’s bright eyes looking up clearly, "Teacher Jiang, can we go now?"

Yun Shu disapproved, "Yun Ya, how can you interrupt like that? It’s very rude to interrupt someone while they’re speaking."
