Chapter 193: Untitled
“What did you say?” Third Young Master Ye’s face suddenly changed, shock written all over his delicate features. Was he hearing things? Blonde hair, green eyes, Louis? “Who did you say he was again?”
“Louis!” Cheng Anya plainly repeated. This kid was clearly shocked. If Louis was not somebody to be trifled with, he would only have greeted him out of formality and indifference had he come to City A earlier. This expression of shock, however, implied that Louis was an ace figure that could inspire fear in Third Young Master Ye. He was definitely strong and badass.
She had witnessed Louis’s character. He emanated an oppressive presence.
Although he had a face and character that could charm others.
Third Young Master Ye squinted dangerously. “Where did you meet him?”
“Downstairs!” Cheng Anya replied plainly. She felt a storm manifesting as she saw Third Young Master Ye’s blackened face. It was terrifying, and his cold presence surrounded him. Even Ning Ning, who was chopping carrots in the kitchen, could feel it as he raised his eyebrows.
It seemed that his daddy disliked Louis. The damn pervert was indeed detested by many, and even man-eaters like his mommy would be charmed by him. Ning Ning deftly cut the carrot into two.
‘I will hack whoever messes with my daddy into two!’
“Romantic encounter?” Third Young Master Ye pounced on the sensitive term in Cheng Anya’s reply and pulled her over with one hand. “What did he do to you? Did he cause these?” He looked down with a heavy gaze.
Louis’s character was controversy-worthy. Third Young Master Ye could not help but fume as he thought about popular opinion about him. Not only was Louis bisexual, but he was also a very perverted bisexual who took a special interest in some perverted antics. To put it differently, he had very strong sadomasochism (SM) tendencies. The Dragon Gate’s dossier on Louis in Italy revealed that he often put teenage boys and girls he fancied into sexual games which resulted in them being crippled or dying under terrible circumstances.
And he had a penchant for SYTs, such as those pure and innocent high school students. Whomever he took a fancy to, whether male or female, was unable to escape his grasp.
He was an extremely perverted man!
Cheng Anya, who was clearly an adult yet seemed pure and dressed like a tender girl, was definitely his type.
He had the impulse to rip open Cheng Anya’s shirt to check if she had been abused, and his gaze became even crueler.
“Third Young Master Ye… Calm down, calm down…” Cheng Anya poured him a cup of water. Third Young Master Ye would easily lose control of his emotions if they were stirred by something he especially cared about. This could have had something to do with his past, and Cheng Anya had a rich experience calming down his emotions. “I’m fine. These injuries were due to me falling down myself. As for Louis…”
She obediently and completely narrated her bone-chilling encounter with Louis to Third Young Master Ye.
“That sicko!” Third Young Master Ye suddenly burst out in anger. How dare he thirst after Cheng Anya? Third Young Master Ye felt his rage build up. Louis sure had a penchant for naive and young things, just like how Cheng Anya was.
Third Young Master Ye stared at her face angrily and could not wait for a few wrinkles, or age spots, to appear on her face. There was a certain viciousness to his gaze as though the innocent and demure Miss Cheng had committed some heinous crimes.
“Third Young Master Ye, calm down. Your son had also called him a sicko earlier!” Cheng Anya smiled as she was unafraid of his gaze. However fierce he was toward her, she knew that nothing much would transpire from it as her biggest guardian angel was watching over her from the kitchen.
“Do you have any feuds against Louis?” Cheng Anya asked curiously. Based on what she knew, Third Young Master Ye and Louis did not have any feuds with each other. Based on the few firearms and diamond smuggling attempts in these past few years, they were merely in the same business. Why did he have such a strong opinion about him?
Could it have been due to Old Master Ye?
“There are no grudges. I just dislike him!” Third Young Master Ye said. When Louis’s jade-green eyes looked at him, it felt as disgusting and gross as a cold snake wrapping itself around his throat.
He disliked the depression he emanated, his gentle attitude, his smile… and even his looks.
He disliked everything about Louis!
It was as though he was the plaque.
“Why do you still deal with him over the past few years despite disliking him this much?” Cheng Anya curiously asked. It was so hard to come by that Third Young Master Ye would dislike somebody to the point he could not tolerate the person, and this person whom she disliked because of Third Young Master Ye was a very unlucky person.
“He is a competent dealer in the diamonds and firearms smuggling trade as his routes are secure and no information is leaked out. Nothing can go wrong with him!” Third Young Master Ye said with a grim face. He, after all, had entered this trade as a middleman, and the routes that MBS International leveraged on belonged to Louis’s family. Once they got their feet wet in this trade, they could neither absolve themselves of the relationships and had to carry on in the trade.
Since the trade required neither huge amounts of time nor the need to meet in person, teleconferences or video conferences would suffice. No matter how much he disliked Louis, he could tolerate him for a few hours.
And he knew of Old Master Ye’s relationship with Louis. Pulling out would arouse suspicion. Hence, it made better sense for him to keep the show going. That kept on until today, when this guy became absolutely lucky and decided to play coy and baited the bigger players. He took over the entire Italian underground and forced the Dragon Gate to pull out of the power spheres of the mafia.
In this battle of power and trade, he supported Rus and helped him establish several ties in secret. All the substantial effort and material that went into establishing these ties went to waste, leaving Third Young Master Ye extremely displeased.
With an additional dimension to the unhappiness, it became more than a dislike!
This visit to City A was clearly not as straightforward as it seemed!
But he did not expect him to hit on Cheng Anya. F***!
“Daddy, have I not reminded you before that you should look to Chu Li for a playmate? He has guaranteed you that.” The young kid swung the cleaver in his hands, implying that his daddy would mess up Chu Li badly had the latter had the gall to do in his daddy.
“Go f*** yourself! Where does the father put his face if he is earning his son’s money?” Third Young Master Ye jokingly scolded as a smile glinted in his malicious and insidious gaze.
Cheng Anya was stunned into silence…
Ning Ning, “…”
‘Third Young Master Ye, did you have to be this blunt?’
‘Daddy, I actually do not mind!’
Ning Ning quietly retreated back to the kitchen to continue with his cooking whilst Cheng Anya bit her lip. The father and son were in cahoots with each other, and she was thankful that she was not a policewoman, as that was her childhood ambition, lest she became schizophrenic thanks to this father-and-son duo.
“What else did he tell you apart from these?” Third Young Master Ye’s focus returned to Louis.
“Apart from swearing that he would make me his, that was about it. He did not reveal his identity and tried to accost me through an encounter. He probably did not expect baby to recognize him.” Cheng Anya smiled.
Third Young Master Ye looked at her with a malicious and insidious gaze. He had an icy look, to which Cheng Anya protested. “What kind of gaze is that? What are you trying to say? It’s not even my fault, no?”
“You dare to say that you were not aroused by Louis?” Third Young Master Ye knew how much of a man-eater she was. Given how delicate Louis’s features were, it would be surprising if she were not dazed by him. What a man-eater!
“How did you know?” Cheng Anya was surprised. He was just too good.
Third Young Master Ye must have X-ray vision!
“F***! I knew you would!” Third Young Master Ye was extremely unhappy and furious. ‘Cheng Anya, you man-eater! How dare you seduce others with your looks!’ He could not help but wonder whether his delicate looks was the reason she got together with him seven years ago.
Third Young Master Ye’s face became more sinister as he stared at Cheng Anya with gritted teeth. Cheng Anya felt innocent as she had not done anything in particular.
Women along the street would give a handsome man a couple more looks, and Third Young Master Ye surely wouldn’t deprive her of her rights, would he?
“Third Young Master Ye, you are digressing. The focus now is Louis, not me! Please do not get the order wrong!” Cheng Anya smiled. She was a little at a loss for words as he… became jealous extremely easily!
“Let’s get married!” Third Young Master Ye mentioned marriage for the first time as he felt a sense of urgency. With her being married to him, anyone who was trying to hit on her was clearly dead meat. This would prevent any sicko from openly challenging him when he lacked a basis to retaliate.
No!
The faster they got married, the safer!
“Be a good boy and buy a pillow from the supermarket!” Cheng Anya said coldly. It was faster to dream, and such a bully in Third Young Master Ye wanted her to marry him. Third Young Master Ye, asking for somebody’s hand in this manner was surely too cheap!
Third Young Master Ye tried to overwhelm her by staring at her coldly.
Not wanting to appear weak, Cheng Anya stared back at him!
Fireworks flew and Third Young Master Ye felt a little defeated. “What will it take for you to be willing to marry me?”
“Your attitude in asking for my hand was bad!” Cheng Anya gently reminded him. “Have you seen anybody proposing while looking like they want to completely gobble somebody up?”
“What kind of attitude do you want?” Third Young Master Ye asked patiently as he gritted his teeth. He wanted to completely gobble her up.
“For a start, a candlelight dinner, 9999 roses, and you going on your knees!”
“You buy a pillow from the supermarket too!”
“Oh, okay, let’s go buy it together!” Cheng Anya replied. She did not understand how they ended up talking about marriage when they had started off talking about Louis.
They had digressed!
Just then, the doorbell rang. Ning Ning could not open the door as he was cooking. Third Young Master Ye’s self-confidence had taken a bloody hit as his proposition was rejected. He stared at Cheng Anya and was unwilling to help. “Go open the door!” Cheng Anya ordered him like a queen as she hit him with a magazine.
Third Young Master Ye stood up unwillingly and went to open the door. The first thing that entered his eyes was a large and lovely bouquet of roses.
“May I ask if Miss Cheng…”
Smack!
Third Young Master Ye’s first reaction was to slam the door and keep the excruciating roses and noise outside the door!
He was angry!
How could somebody with such a bad taste send her such a large bouquet of flowers?
Was she having a bull run when it came to romance?
‘F***!’
It would be so much easier to pluck morning glories from the park!
What a way to save money and effort!
