Shuang Qiao came to the Hongyun Brigade, not for the barbecue. They had serious matters to discuss with Luo Yang.
After a round of barbecue, Luo Yang took Shuang Qiao for a walk on the rural path. They reached a small earthen mound and sat down on the grassy slope, each holding a can of beer.
"My sister and I didn't used to drink, but since we started the company, we had to learn," Qiao Yousi said.
The cheeks of Shuang Qiao were flushed with a tipsy blush, looking enchanting.
"At school, we thought we could do anything. Only after coming out did we realize what it means that every trade produces its master. Everyone has their own strengths, and no one can excel at everything," Qiao Yousi sighed.
Though the sisters were exceptionally good at studying, business was not their forte.
The rice seedlings in the paddy field had grown robust, with the breeze creating continuous green waves stretching into the distance.
Looking at the waves of green, Luo Yang said, "Big Sister Qiao, the fact that you dare to challenge industries you're unfamiliar with also shows courage."
Qiao Yousi took the chance to say, "Niu Zai, you are our great benefactor."
That statement was a bit cheesy, but it was also true.
Luo Yang chuckled lightly, turned to look at them, glanced at their youthful and lively figures, and quickly took a sip of beer to cool himself down.
"How about this, I will keep my current product the same, but I will collaborate with you to produce another product, specifically for facial cleansing and whitening. What do you think?" Luo Yang said.
"You decide," Qiao Yousi happily said.
"Here's to our successful collaboration," Luo Yang raised his beer.
The three clinked their cans together, signaling agreement.
Qiao Yousi inquired about Wang Yunxiong, and Luo Yang briefly explained the situation.
"He's a very capable person. Part of the high-interest loans my company took was borrowed from him. He wanted to buy our company, but I disagreed," Qiao Yousi pondered.
"No wonder he seems very familiar with your company," Luo Yang said.
"He wants to buy our company, take it public to make a big profit, and then I guess he would just ruin our company," Qiao Yousi speculated.
At that moment, Qiao Zai Shui revealed that Wang Yunxiong was interested in both of them.
She disdainfully said, "He told us that as his mistresses, we wouldn't have to pay him back."
Qiao Yousi added, "He wants both money and pleasure."
Luo Yang indignantly said, "I will never let him succeed." After taking a sip of his beer, his spirit also rose, "I will protect you both for a lifetime."
Actually, he said this only out of a sense of righteousness.
However, to Shuang Qiao, it sounded somewhat differently.
"Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao..."
Luo Yang turned his head to see their faces redder, their expressions slightly bashful, and suddenly realized the ambiguity of his words.
So, he quickly explained: "Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, I'm not like him."
Seeing Luo Yang's serious demeanor, Shuang Qiao stifled a laugh.
"What I mean is, I don't have those kinds of thoughts. I'm very pure," Luo Yang earnestly said.
Shuang Qiao burst out laughing.
"Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, I truly want to protect you," Luo Yang grinned helplessly.
"Then just protect us," Qiao Yousi said shyly.
Luo Yang nodded, his mind urging himself not to have inappropriate thoughts.
However, as he glanced at their graceful figures, thrilling ripples of excitement emanated from below his abdomen, inexplicably delightful.
Ah, stop thinking about their bodies. Damn it, why think about a threesome now?
Seeing Luo Yang's sly smile, both of Shuang Qiao pursed their red lips.
"Niu Zai, you rejected Wang Yunxiong, but he won't give up. There's a saying in the county, it is said that there is nothing Wang Yunxiong wants that he cannot get," Qiao Yousi expressed her concern.
"So if I don't collaborate with him, he's going to target me?" Luo Yang smiled lightly.
"It should be. He's versed in both worlds," nodded Qiao Yousi.
Luo Yang downed the beer from the can in one gulp.
He was naturally optimistic. Had it been anyone else, just the affairs of the Lin Family would have had them frowning already.
Having gone through the incident with the Xie Dongyang brothers not long ago, Luo Yang had matured a lot.
When faced with troubles, he could calm himself and think.
Seeing Luo Yang deep in thought, Shuang Qiao exchanged glances. Qiao Zai Shui said, "Niu Zai, if it's us making things difficult for you, then we are really sorry. You can disregard us."
Luo Yang smiled and said, "Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, I've said I'd protect you and I won't go back on my word."
Qiao Da Shui smiled charmingly and softly said, "That's not what I meant. We're just worried you can't handle Wang Yunxiong."
With the matter of the Lin Family already troublesome enough, now there was Wang Yunxiong added to the mix.
This truly felt like a mountain was pressing down on him, but Luo Yang was open-minded, thinking that life was like a play, and a play like life. If a storm was to come, let it come fiercely; if he could survive, he'd have stories to boast about to the younger generation when he was old.
"Let's go, let's go eat some barbecue."
Luo Yang stood up and brushed off the grass clippings from his pants.
The three of them returned to the pond side, filled their stomachs and drank their fill, then Chen Jie suggested going to Zhu Li's bar to dance.
Among the beauties present, not many knew how to dance, only Zhu Li and Chen Jie.
But everyone was in high spirits, so no one opposed it.
Thus, after they packed up, they set off together.
At Zhu Li's bar, with jazz music playing, everyone wriggled their bodies; it didn't matter if they could dance or not, as long as they could move.
Xiao Daniu didn't come along; he didn't want people to say he and Zeng Xiaomei looked like a married couple.
As a result, Zeng Xiaomei also went home early.
In the dance floor of the bar, Luo Yang was the only man while the rest were women.
If he did not have X-Ray Ability, it would have been fine.
But being able to see the beautiful and graceful bodies of the beauties, watching them joyously swaying their waists, was like a group of concubines serving the Emperor, dancing a naked dance.
Luo Yang looked left and right, one moment there were surging waves, the next there were long legs opening and closing, each direction filled with the captivating aura of youth.
Everyone had drunk a bit; some were quite drunk, others mildly, but each beauty's face glowed with a rosy flush, their allure even more pronounced.
Initially, everyone swayed their own hips; Luo Yang could freely admire their delicate forms.
Later, the beauties joined hands and formed a circle, trapping Luo Yang inside.
Only then did they notice Luo Yang's emboldening scene below his belly, which made them both angry and amused.
Luo Yang could only let his arms hang and sheepishly smile, "I'm going to the restroom."
But the beauties disagreed, demanding that he dance or sing a song before letting him go.
Luo Yang couldn't dance, he had learned the tango from Zhu Li, but hadn't mastered it yet.
"I'll dance for you guys once I've learned it," said Luo Yang.
"Niu Zai, sing a song," Chen Jie said with a smile.
"I'll have Sister An sing for me," Luo Yang said with a laugh.
Forget whether An Yuying would agree, the other beauties already disapproved of having someone else sing for him.
Luo Yang had no choice but to sing "Two Tigers."
Finally, after he finished singing, the beauties bent over laughing, then let him go to the restroom.
Having stayed in the restroom for quite a while to cool down, Luo Yang returned to the dance floor where the beauties had already sat down to rest, their chests heaving dramatically.
Luo Yang swept his gaze around, almost being blinded by those surging waves.
