117: Help Huo Yunci

"I didn't expect Miss Gao to be so well-informed. If I were to hand over the Huo Family, would Miss Gao be able to help me pull Huo Liang down from the position of chairman?" Huo Yunci leaned forward, looking at Gao Ying.

Just as Gao Ying was about to refuse, she heard a system task.

【Side quest released: Help Huo Yunci completely take over the Huo Corporation. Task completion reward: Gold mine coordinates. Task failure penalty: host and Huo Yunci must spend one week on a deserted island.】

"Fugui! What kind of bizarre penalty is this?" Gao Ying was speechless upon hearing this penalty.

【Sister, you can't lose your temper at me. This penalty was set by the main system.】

"Fine, whether you need manpower or money, just say the word." Gao Ying didn't want to go to a deserted island, so she might as well help obediently.

"Then I'll trouble Miss Gao to provide the manpower and funds to get Huo Liang locked up as soon as possible. When that time comes, I will hand over the Huo Corporation to you." Huo Yunci's lips curled upward, carrying a hint of roguishness.

"Don't. I'll stick to the original plan; just give me ten percent of the shares when the time comes." Gao Ying didn't want to take over; she had already started several companies, all of which she had offloaded.

Seeing how Huo Yunci was dead set on getting rid of the Huo Corporation, she didn't want him to force her into taking over later.

It was fine to go to a company occasionally to handle business, but having her go every day was absolutely out of the question.

"That's true. In Miss Gao's eyes, the Huo Corporation isn't worth much, so why would you look at it differently?" Huo Yunci looked at her with a regretful expression.

After eating, they went directly underground.

This was Gao Ying's first time at an underground casino. It wasn't as noisy as she had imagined; on the contrary, it was very quiet.

After playing a couple of rounds, Gao Ying lost interest. It wasn't fun at all; it was just a contest of who had more money.

After playing for most of the day, she was a bit tired and prepared to go back to rest.

"Ying'er, the Huo Family is quite complicated. Why bother wading into these muddy waters?" In the car, Xi Yan frowned as he thought about the situation with the Huo Family.

"It doesn't matter. This Huo Yunci is alright, but his father's ambition is too great. Your three families must have sensed something by now, right? This Huo Liang is colluding with people abroad, wanting to become the big boss." This was also the reason Gao Ying wanted to do this task.

"Yes, the projects of the Xi Family, the Lou Family, and the Bai Family companies have recently been returned for no reason. Huo Liang is likely doing this to avoid detection, so the Huo Family's company has also had projects returned. It's just that the funds for the projects returned from their company are too small, which makes it hard not to arouse suspicion." Xi Yan knew this, which was why he didn't want her to wade into these muddy waters.

"Even if Huo Yunci hadn't said anything today, I wouldn't have let Huo Liang continue as chairman of the Huo Corporation. You and Jingyao are my people now; bullying you is the same as going against me. Isn't he trying to set a trap? Then let's see whose funds can hold out." Gao Ying was quite confident when it came to comparing who had more money.

"Heartless, where are you going tonight?" Gao Ying turned to ask the person in the back seat.

"Where you are, I am." Heartless only wanted to follow her now.

Ruthless had already called many times, but Heartless had directly blocked him.

Ruthless was so angry he almost sold the company.

He sent a message telling him to get the company listed, and then he couldn't be contacted anymore!!!!

Who acts like that? He really is a guy who forgets loyalty for the sake of beauty.

After venting his anger, Ruthless resigned himself to working; when that person came back, he would definitely give himself a one-year vacation.

He also wanted to taste the flavor of love!

"Baby, did you miss me?" Just as they arrived at Xi Yan's house, a video call from Lou Jingyao came through.

Gao Ying: "No. We just separated a few hours ago, what is there to miss?"

"Baby, you are so Heartless. I feel miserable missing you even after being separated for a minute, and you actually don't miss me." Lou Jingyao clutched his chest, looking at her with a wronged expression.

"Stop being glib. How is the matter with the Kang Family going?" Gao Ying really couldn't understand how the dignified young master of the Imperial Capital's Lou Family could be so absurd in private.

"Of course. Is there anything I can't handle once I make a move? In another week, the Kang Family will completely disappear from the Imperial Capital." Speaking of this, Lou Jingyao was still very confident.

Gao Ying: "Just make sure you know what you're doing. Bai Jue gave me an invitation today; the Bai Family is hosting a charity gala the day after tomorrow. Are you going?"

"Of course. That kid sent me an invitation too, but I can only see you the day after tomorrow. What am I supposed to do tomorrow? I have no motivation at all." Lou Jingyao looked at her pitifully.

"Lou Jingyao, can you be normal? Ying'er will be with me all day tomorrow, so stop thinking about it." Xi Yan used to ignore him when he acted so shamelessly.

But now it's different; there is no way he is going to win Ying'er's sympathy using this trick.

"You hung up on him; aren't you afraid he'll come cause trouble for you tomorrow?" Gao Ying looked at him with amusement.

"That guy is doing it on purpose; he just wants to disturb our time together." Xi Yan knew him well enough.

"Is Heartless settled in?" Gao Ying asked.

"He's settled. Now, in your heart and eyes, there can only be me. Don't mention any other man's name, or I will be sad." Xi Yan placed her phone on the nightstand and interlaced his fingers with hers.

"So domineering." Gao Ying lay on the bed, her black hair spread across the pillow, looking at the person on top of her with a smile in her eyes.

"Then does Ying'er like me being domineering?" Xi Yan leaned down and asked softly in her ear.

Gao Ying only felt a tingling sensation in her ear, a flush appeared on her face, and she gave him a glare with eyes as alluring as silk.

"In front of you, my self-control is really poor." Xi Yan chuckled softly, then kissed those red lips.

Seeing the ambiguous marks on her body that hadn't faded yet, Xi Yan's eyes deepened, and he deepened those marks even further.

It wasn't until the sky turned fish-belly white that the battle in the room finally ceased.

Looking at the person who had fallen into a deep sleep, Xi Yan finally revealed a satisfied expression.

The person who hadn't slept all night was in high spirits; one couldn't tell at all that he had been through a big battle last night.

Planting a kiss on Gao Ying's forehead and lips respectively, Xi Yan got dressed neatly and left the room.

At this moment, Heartless happened to be running back from outside. Seeing his beaming face, he felt a bit sour inside.

"Ying'er was exhausted last night, so I'll trouble you to take care of her. I'll go to the company after I finish making the meal." Xi Yan said as he walked toward the kitchen.

"No need, you just go. I'll make the meal." Heartless said, then went back to his room to shower.

Hearing him say that, Xi Yan took some milk and bread from the fridge as his own breakfast.

By the time Heartless came out, Xi Yan had already gone to work.

Having nothing to do, he took out his computer and started working.

At eleven o'clock, he went to the kitchen and simply made some food.

For the sake of Gao Ying's health, he opened the bedroom door and went in to wake her.

The person on the bed was still fast asleep, and the ambiguous marks on her exposed skin spoke of the intensity of last night.

"Ying'er, wake up and eat." Heartless sat by the bed and called to her.

"No, I'm so tired." Gao Ying mumbled, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Seeing this, Heartless got up and went out, and before long, he came back in carrying the food.

He helped her up, leaned her against himself, and began to feed Gao Ying.

"Be good, eat a little before sleeping again, otherwise it's not good for your stomach." Heartless coaxed her softly.
