Cheng Yang's smile was radiant as he called out in a sweet voice.
Su Xing felt her mood lighten without reason when she saw this sunny young man. She smiled back, but then noticed Cheng Yang's BMW and couldn't help but wonder, "This car?"
Su Xing didn't think Cheng Yang had enough money to afford a car, let alone a BMW. Would someone who could buy a BMW live in a $300 per month low-income housing unit?
Obviously not.
Cheng Yang then explained, "This is my boss's car. I'm currently working as his driver. Come on, Sister Xing, get in." He then politely opened the passenger door for her.
He opened the front door, naturally intending for Su Xing to sit next to him.
Su Xing got into the car.
Afterward, Cheng Yang also got in and started the vehicle.
Su Xing said with slight surprise, "I didn't know you could drive."
Cheng Yang laughed and said, "I used to be in the army, and I learned it there."
Su Xing nodded in realization.
Cheng Yang then asked, "Shouldn't we go pick up Little Xue first?"
Su Xing replied, "No need. It's Friday, and my mom has picked her up."
It wasn't surprising that on weekends when Su Xing had to work, she couldn't take care of Little Xue.
Cheng Yang asked curiously, "Sister Xing, are your parents from around here in Binhai?"
Su Xing said, "Yes."
Cheng Yang asked, "Then why don't you live with them instead of renting a place?"
After all, Su Xing's living conditions were quite difficult.
After asking, Cheng Yang noticed a hint of bitter smile on Su Xing's lips.
Cheng Yang immediately said considerately, "If it's inconvenient to talk about, it's okay."
Su Xing said, "It's nothing that can't be said. You saw my ex-husband today, right? Back then, my parents didn't approve of me marrying him, but I insisted. Now look at the mess I'm in – I can only blame myself for being foolish. This is my punishment, so whatever bitterness there is, I have to bear it myself."
Cheng Yang sighed slightly and said, "Parents will always blame their children, but there's no need for you to make things difficult for yourself. I believe your parents don't blame you."
Su Xing said, "But I blame myself. It is what it is, and I think my current situation is pretty good."
At that, Cheng Yang didn't say more.
Su Xing then said, "Oh, I said I'd treat you to a meal. What would you like to eat?"
Cheng Yang grinned and said, "Whatever Sister Xing likes, I'll have the same."
Su Xing smiled. Then she asked, "By the way, you're not from Binhai, are you?"
Cheng Yang said, "No, I'm from a remote mountain village that you wouldn't know even if I told you."
"What about your parents?" Su Xing asked.
Cheng Yang paused slightly, his gaze suddenly becoming complicated.
This year, Cheng Yang was twenty-four years old. As far back as he could remember, he had lived with his master in the great mountains of the Greater Xingan Range.
It was his master who raised and taught him martial arts. At sixteen, his master arranged for him to go abroad on a mission. Afterward, the master disappeared and could no longer be contacted.
Cheng Yang ended up joining a mercenary group.
His outstanding skills and intelligence quickly made him stand out. However, the leader of that mercenary group eventually could not tolerate him and tried to kill him.
Cheng Yang realized this in advance and escaped. In a rage, he established his own mercenary team, the Blood Wolf Mercenaries.
Within five years, the Blood Wolf Mercenaries became a top-tier team. Cheng Yang, the Wolf King, dominated the field.
As for his parents?
That was Cheng Yang's greatest puzzle. He didn't know who his parents were and felt that he was a person without roots.
"I have no parents or relatives," Cheng Yang said. "As far back as I can remember, it was my master who raised me, but now he's gone missing too, and I don't know where he is."
Su Xing was stunned. She had thought her own life was gloomy enough, but compared to Cheng Yang, it seemed insignificant. Unconsciously, Su Xing felt a sense of intimacy with Cheng Yang.
The car was filled with Su Xing's natural body fragrance, an intoxicating scent.
Su Xing said, "I'm sorry."
Cheng Yang grinned and said, "I'm used to it."
"So, do you have any plans for the future? Like finding a girl and starting a family?" Su Xing asked.
Cheng Yang laughed and said, "I'm just a brute with no money, car, or house. What girl would want to marry me?"
Su Xing said, "You shouldn't say that. You're a great young man, and a good girl will definitely like you."
Cheng Yang snickered and said, "What about you, Sister Xing?"
Su Xing paused, her face reddening, and simply said, "You're like a little brother to me, of course I like you."
Cheng Yang found it amusing in his heart. Silly Sister Xing, if only you knew your little brother had already seen you naked.
This topic wasn't suitable for further discussion.
In the end, the two found a random restaurant to sit down at.
Cheng Yang did want to drink some alcohol and get Su Xing drunk, then see if anything wonderful could happen afterward. However, Su Xing directly refused to let Cheng Yang drink, saying he had to drive later.
Cheng Yang was frustrated and secretly grumbled to himself, it seemed he definitely couldn't drive next time.
Just as he was feeling disappointed, Su Xing suddenly said, "But we can take the food to go and drink at home."
Cheng Yang was immediately delighted.
Of course, Su Xing was feeling melancholic and suddenly wanted to drink.
After packing up the food, Su Xing also bought a bottle of Jian Nan Chun liquor and around ten cans of beer.
Half an hour later, they drove back to Su Xing's place.
Su Xing's rental wasn't large and seemed a bit messy, not particularly tidy.
Moreover, as soon as Cheng Yang entered, he saw some panties and a black bra on the bed. His eyes went wide, and Su Xing's face flushed red as she hurriedly gathered those items and stuffed them under the covers.
"I overslept this morning and didn't have time to tidy up," Su Xing explained self-consciously.
Cheng Yang laughed and said, "My place is even messier."
Afterward, they set up the alcohol and food on the table and started drinking.
Cheng Yang was so excited!
Whenever Su Xing said she wanted to drink, he didn't stop her.
His mind was filled with fantasies, all of Su Xing taking a shower in glorious detail. He didn't know how many times he had imagined being intimate with Su Xing. Now that she was right in front of him, how could he not be excited?
Moreover, Cheng Yang wondered if Su Xing had intentionally suggested drinking to create an opportunity for them?
Getting herself drunk to give someone else a chance!
Before long, Su Xing's face was flushed red. At this moment, she looked exceptionally charming and adorable, like a little girl.
They drank cup after cup, and finally, Su Xing was truly drunk.
Cheng Yang, however, remained sober as he carried Su Xing to the bed, feeling both excited and conflicted.
"Damn it, should I be a beast or not be a beast?" Cheng Yang muttered.
