Chen Yang didn't think too much about Su Qing's absence. After all, she was a grown woman and couldn't be expected to stay in the rented apartment all the time. She wasn't some kept woman he was hiding away.
Lying on Su Qing's bed, Chen Yang suddenly caught a whiff of her lingering scent.
The soft, warm fragrance made it seem as if Su Qing was right beside him.
Chen Yang felt himself getting aroused, but he didn't dare do anything on Su Qing's bed. If he left any traces, it would be disastrous. It was much better to secretly watch Su Qing shower from his own room to relieve his urges.
He had been running around for the past few days and was genuinely exhausted. Lying comfortably on the bed, he unexpectedly fell asleep.
At eleven o'clock that night, Su Qing returned. She was wearing a red dress that revealed her beautiful cleavage. Her hair was curled, and her whole being exuded an irresistible charm.
Su Qing opened the door and turned on the light, startled to see someone on the bed. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was snoring lightly, so tired that he didn't wake up when Su Qing came in.
Usually, Chen Yang's alertness was very strong. If an enemy approached, even silently, Chen Yang would sense it. It was an instinctive response to danger.
But Su Qing posed no threat to Chen Yang, so without any hostile intent or danger to stimulate his senses, he naturally didn't wake up.
Su Qing's eyes fell on the roses on the table, and her beautiful eyes immediately lit up with joy.
Although Su Qing had received many flowers before, even after her divorce, receiving flowers from Chen Yang felt different.
In Su Qing's mind, Chen Yang was a rough guy who didn't understand romance.
"He must be very tired," Su Qing thought, feeling sympathetic as she saw Chen Yang sleeping soundly. She moved quietly, not wanting to wake him.
However, Chen Yang still woke up.
Chen Yang sat up abruptly. He had been having a pleasant dream, imagining both Su Qing and Qin Moyao in bed with him. His mind was full of such fanciful thoughts.
This was the second time he had this dream.
While dreaming, he suddenly felt something was off.
What was wrong?
He realized that given Su Qing and Qin Moyao's personalities, they would never willingly engage in such activities together with him.
No, this had to be a dream.
So Chen Yang wanted to quickly finish things in the dream. But the more he thought about it, the clearer his mind became. Finally, with a jolt, he woke up.
Chen Yang was frustrated that his pleasant dream had been interrupted. He looked up and saw Su Qing.
Su Qing smiled charmingly, a smile that could captivate anyone. Chen Yang was stunned by her beauty.
Seeing Chen Yang's dazed expression, Su Qing covered her mouth and laughed softly, then asked, "When did you get back? Why didn't you let me know in advance? Have you eaten?"
Chen Yang looked at Su Qing's alluring outfit, then wordlessly pulled out his phone and glanced at it. Damn, it was eleven o'clock.
He immediately said, somewhat displeased, "Qing, why are you out so late? And dressed so... revealingly. Don't you know there are many bad people out there?"
Su Qing quickly examined herself in the mirror, then said puzzledly, "Is this really that revealing?"
Chen Yang got up and came to Su Qing. He immediately smelled alcohol on her. "You've been drinking?"
Su Qing nodded.
Chen Yang felt a surge of displeasure. Su Qing dressed like this, out drinking late at night, and only returning now.
What the hell was she doing? Was she on a date with some man?
Damn!
Chen Yang couldn't accept this. Although he was a bit of a playboy himself and hadn't officially started a relationship with Su Qing, if she was dating other men now, he would become furious and want to fight someone!
It's worth noting that Chen Yang was usually quite reasonable. But when he wasn't, he could be quite frightening.
"Are you jealous?" Su Qing suddenly asked with a mischievous smile.
Chen Yang was taken aback, then replied as if insulted, "Me? Jealous? Don't be ridiculous."
Seeing Chen Yang's reaction, Su Qing burst into laughter, her body shaking with mirth. Today, she suddenly found Chen Yang very cute. Usually, Chen Yang was either too carefree or too calculating and composed. But now, Su Qing felt that he was just an ordinary man, someone she could be close to.
So Su Qing softened her voice and said, "I had a class reunion today. We were singing karaoke until now. In the end, some male classmates escorted us home." She paused, then added, "If you don't like me going out like this, I won't do it in the future. Don't be angry, okay?"
Chen Yang suddenly understood and felt embarrassed. Damn, had his reaction been too strong? He quickly laughed it off and said, "I'm not angry. Why would I be angry? A class reunion is perfectly normal!"
Su Qing found Chen Yang's awkwardness even more amusing. But she didn't want to tease him further, afraid he might lose face. So she asked, "Are you hungry? How about I cook you some noodles?"
Chen Yang realized he was indeed hungry. He rubbed his stomach and said, "Starving!"
Su Qing smiled knowingly and said, "Wait here, I'll make you some noodles." With that, she turned and went to the rented kitchen.
Chen Yang watched her beautiful figure leave, feeling a warmth spread through his heart.
The comfort Su Qing gave him couldn't be replaced by any other woman. Many times, he wanted to lose himself in Su Qing's gentle care. Occasionally, he would even think about starting a family with Su Qing and living happily ever after.
But every time this thought arose, he would break out in a cold sweat, feeling that such a life would be terrifying.
Only when facing Su Qing did he feel so conflicted.
About ten minutes later, Su Qing brought Chen Yang a steaming bowl of noodles with shredded pork. She also gave him a can of cold beer, knowing he liked it.
At the table, Chen Yang sat down, happily drinking cold beer and eating noodles. He felt this was the greatest pleasure in life. At the same time, he casually said, "Oh, right, Qing, the flowers and this bag are for you." He handed her the designer bag.
When Su Qing saw the bag, she was overjoyed. Her beautiful face flushed with happiness.
"I love it," Su Qing said.
Chen Yang chuckled and said, "I'm glad you like it."
After accepting the bag and flowers, Su Qing sat down next to Chen Yang. She asked softly, "Did everything go smoothly these past few days?"
Chen Yang nodded and said, "Very smoothly."
Su Qing smiled slightly and said, "That's good."
She didn't ask for details.
This was Su Qing's wisdom; men don't like to be questioned too deeply. If a man wants to talk, he will naturally do so.
Chen Yang cared about Su Qing's feelings and felt that she should know about the Golden Age Bar situation. He took a bite of noodles and a sip of cold beer before saying, "Qing, I bought the Golden Age Bar."
Su Qing was surprised and asked, "You mean that haunted house we saw the other day?"
Chen Yang nodded and grinned, saying, "Bought it for two million."
Su Qing felt dizzy and asked, "What are you going to do with that haunted house? Do you want to open a bar with it? But..."
Chen Yang said, "I've resolved the supernatural incidents inside. Don't worry, Qing. The Golden Age Bar is worth at least ten million. In other words, we've already made about eight million before even starting."
Su Qing was still worried and said, "But even if you've resolved the supernatural incidents, people still won't dare to go there."
Chen Yang said, "Don't worry about that. Tomorrow, Qin Moyao will bring the police to open up Golden Age, and there will be a special report. After that, we'll renovate Golden Age and create a ghost-themed bar based on its characteristics. This bar will be very unique and should attract many young people."
Su Qing was stunned, then quickly realized how novel Chen Yang's proposal was. Creating a ghost-themed bar based on Golden Age's reputation was a unique feature no other bar could have. It was Golden Age's advantage.
It was possible that this bar could become incredibly popular.
"You've been so busy these days, all for this bar?" Su Qing asked, her eyes full of tenderness.
Chen Yang said, "More or less."
Su Qing said softly, "You've worked so hard."
Chen Yang grinned, not making a big deal out of it.
After finishing the noodles, Chen Yang felt it was time to leave Su Qing's place. He said goodbye to Su Qing, and although he wanted to kiss her goodbye, he restrained himself.
Su Qing, being shy by nature, certainly wouldn't take the initiative to kiss Chen Yang.
After returning to his room, Chen Yang took a shower. Having slept earlier, he was now full of energy.
So he began practicing the Great Sun and Moon Technique on his bed.
The effects of the Ultimate Golden Pill hadn't fully manifested yet. Chen Yang took a deep breath, circulating and refining the drug's effects within his body.
He felt his internal energy becoming even more robust.
However, he still couldn't breakthrough to the realm of the Golden Pill. That thin membrane remained impenetrable.
Soon, the sound of running water came from the bathroom.
Chen Yang had been holding back for too long, and hearing this sound immediately excited him. This was his greatest pleasure!
He quickly rushed to the wall and removed the loose brick.
Sure enough, Su Qing was there to take a shower. She had almost completely undressed and was taking off her last piece of underwear.
Chen Yang watched, incredibly aroused, and took care of himself right there.
Afterward, he returned to bed satisfied, feeling that life couldn't get any better than this.
Meanwhile, after Qin Moyao returned to Binhai that day, she first called her father. The father and daughter had a pleasant chat.
Then, Qin Moyao received a call from the Sixth Bureau of National Security in Beijing. It was from Director Shen Monong, thanking Qin Moyao for capturing Li Yang.
Qin Moyao didn't want to take credit in front of Shen Monong and gave the credit to Chen Yang instead.
Shen Monong had actually investigated Qin Moyao and knew she was from a prominent political family. But she was more curious about how Qin Moyao had managed to capture Li Yang.
When Qin Moyao explained, Shen Monong finally understood...
