Yesterday by Feng Nong

Hong Kong, the so-called 'Pearl of the Orient', welcomes me with open arms. Just as I'm entering the Rong family mansion, I see that the Rong patriarch is already standing by the door.

”A difficult journey eh, ShengSheng.” the master of the house greets me.

”Uncle Rong.” I politely answered him with a familiar kiss.

I don't know if this old man would mind my Western-style greeting. After all, Hong Kong is a place that still steeped in tradition. Nevertheless, he smiles and accepts my kiss. Dressed in a clean-cut suit, is the ever carefree Rong YuTing, hand in pocket, lightly smiling showing his white teeth.

”We were all looking forward to your arrival.”

”Sorry to disturb everyone.”

I'm a little unhappy with acquaintances using my familiar name. It could be that this is how people from Hong Kong express affection.

”I was only going to stay in Hong Kong for a little while. I didn't expect father would tell me come inconvenience Uncle Rong.”

”Your father and me are old friends. Please don't be reserved and treat this place as your own home. ”

Uncle Rong was all smiles. I exchanged a few more pleasantries with the two of them before noticing a silent onlooker in the background.

”Oh, YuJiang, you too come over and meet ShengSheng”

Uncle Rong brings the taciturn person before me.

”ShengSheng, you are already familiar with YuTing but I don't think you know my eldest son, YuJiang.”

”Welcome to Hong Kong.”

He extends his broad palm. Examining this bashful man, I suddenly feel like smiling.

”How are you? Looks like I will be inconveniencing you.”

I intentionally squeezed his hand. Aware of my intention, he only replies with a polite smile. Looks like this eldest Rong son has a halo on his head. However, lacking the perceptive and resourceful qualities of his younger brother, YuJiang is most probably at a disadvantage when it comes to succeeding the company.

”Young master Huang, I have already placed your luggage in the your room.”

The maid who helped me with my luggage politely informed me.

”Thank you.”

I released Rong YuJiang's hand and turned around to Uncle Rong saying: ”I would like to first take a bath. The long distance flight was very tiring.”

Uncle Rong replied: ”Take your time and properly rest a little. We will wait you to join us at dinner. I specially instructed the kitchen to prepare French cuisine as I was not sure if you would be used to Chinese dishes.”

I returned a grateful smile while preparing to go upstairs.

Rong YuTing quickly came over: ”I'll bring you to the guest room. Follow me.” Worthy to be called the polished second son. Ready to take this opportunity to make a favorable impression on the son of an important director. I follow him upstairs. At the corner, I turned my head and caught sight of Rong YuJiang that was still standing in the living room. Coincidentally, Rong YuJiang also just raised his head to look at me. Seemingly following my movement upstairs. Meeting my gaze, he smiled lightly and nodded. I responded in kind and followed Rong YuTing's prompting into the room.

After a comfortable bath, I was almost too lazy to move. Can't help resenting father turning my relaxing vacation into something like this. Asking an old friend to keep an eye on me. On the surface, the convenience of provided meals and accommodation. In reality it is to keep me from my mischief. On top that, looking for an opportunity to forge connections with the new Rong generation. Crafty old man. When does he ever stop thinking about his business dealings. No use in complaining, the host family is waiting for me to join them at dinner. I graciously changed my clothes and headed downstairs.

”Sorry for taking my time in the bath.”

The three Rong family members were already seated in the s.p.a.cious dining room. A few dishes have already been served.

”Not to worry. You arrived at just the right time.”

Smilingly Rong YuTing said: ”Looks practically alike.” This person always effortlessly gives off an approachable vibe. I flipped my freshly coiffed hair, realizing that Rong YuTing and myself were dressed in matching white colored casual clothes. He constantly glanced over at me from behind gold wire framed gla.s.ses. Compared to him, Rong YuJiang appeared excessively introverted. Dressed in a conventional black suit with matching black framed gla.s.ses. Black framed gla.s.ses that are seldom seen in today's fas.h.i.+on. Rong YuJiang's attire gives off an even more docile feel.

”Elder brother Rong's are very unique.”

”Eh?” Seemingly not expecting me to speak to him. He looked up at me stunned.

”Oh? I'm used to this set of gla.s.ses. I've worn them for many years.”

”Seems sentimental. This type of people attach importance to emotions.”

I smiled at Uncle Rong.

Uncle Rong said: ”ShengSheng, YuJiang is quite reserved. Please don't take offence.”

”How could I? One look and I can tell that we would get along very well.”

Someone at the side lightly coughed. I turned around and caught sight of Rong YuTing's uneasy expression. Rong YuTing brought a piece of steak to mouth, chewed and swallowed before asking me: ”ShengSheng, where do you plan to have fun? I'm the best guide there is in Hong Kong.”

”Won't I get in the way of your work?”

”As the host, I must of course act like one.”

I refused to accede, leaving an indifferent smile on my face. The reason why these two sons are so eager to accommodate me, apart from my father's share in Rong's company stock, is also because I also have a powerful adoptive father. Before I came, mom already told me that the compet.i.tion for succession in the Rong family had already reached the white-hot stage. Looks like Rong YuTing is already going all out to best his older brother. On the other hand, the pitiful Rong YuJiang calmly lowers his head and slices his steak oblivious to the impending crisis. He has essentially no vigilance, or maybe he is well aware that he is no match for his brother and resigned to the outcome. Why don't I comply with my fathers wishes for my visit here with the Rong family. If not only for my own personal excitement, looking on dispa.s.sionately is quite stimulating and amusing. Furtive look at YuTing's plate revealed that he had cut his steak to little pieces, quite like what I myself had done. He caught my looking and cracked a joke at the apparent similarity of our ways. I told myself that he one that is good at using calculated actions to seek affection.

”Rong 2nd brother...”

”ShengSheng, just call me YuTing.”

”YuTing, you're such a busy person. I think it would be better to ask Rong elder brother to accompany me wander around.” Once again, Rong YuJiang raised his head, stunned.

Turned his head towards Uncle Rong: ”Pa, my Sha Tou Kok land development plan is not yet...”

”Alright, I won't bother Rong elder brother.” I opened my mouth, not waiting for him to finish speaking after realizing his unwillingness. I HuangSheng am not used to being refused. Rong YuTing smiles on the side. I wonder if he always shows such an expression when his older brother carelessly offends someone. After dinner, I looked to my left and right. Looked like I learned a little something at dinner.

_________________________________________________________________

While sleeping in the room, I suddenly felt thirsty in the middle of the night. I got up and headed downstairs myself to look for the kitchen. After all, as a newly arrived guest, I did not want to put on airs and summon the maid to deliver water upstairs. The design of wealthy mansions are in fact, all about the same. Less than a minute, and I found the kitchen. Sauntering over, I discovered that the light was on. Don't tell me that the calculative Rong YuTing actually foresaw that I would be thirsty and is patiently waiting for me. My own merits I am well aware of. Relying on my considerable good looks and family pedigree, I am more than used dealing with influential people. Flirting among men. Often a dance will wind up dancing to bed. As a born businessman, each romp in bed carries the flavor or a business transaction. My old man never really had an issue with my irreputable deeds mostly because of this _____ my liaisons have served him well in certain difficult situations. Looking at Rong YuTing today, I'm already well aware that he has every intention of playing with me. Not only will he be able to show me off, he would make use of my varied influential connections to his benefit. Hmph! He has severely miscalculated! Snickering, I entered the kitchen. I immediately froze. Surprisingly the one seated next to the little table is none other than Rong YuJiang. Changed from a suit to pajamas, black framed gla.s.ses nowhere to be seen. Slowly drinking mouthful after mouthful from the beer bottle in his hand. Silently looking at his back, I found his silent drinking manner extremely s.e.xy. I like thick broad backs. Honestly speaking, Rong YuJiang's appearance is not even a little inferior to Rong YuTing. It's just that there is always something concealing his brilliance.

”Secretly drinking in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid that Uncle Rong will catch you?”

Jumping up in surprise, he turned around to look at me. Smiling embarra.s.sedly: ”Looks like it's you.” I could make out his attempt to conceal the worry between his eyebrows. Naturally, the inability to strike back at his younger brother in this power struggle, how can he not worry.

”I was a little thirsty. That's why I'm bold enough to commit a petty theft, coming to the kitchen to steal a little drink of water.”

”I'm sorry. It's our oversight. We forgot to tell you that there is a fridge hidden in your bedside nightstand. Ai, that is of my design, resulting in guests always unable to find the fridge.” He guiltily apologized sincerely. All of a sudden, I find him very interesting. I s.n.a.t.c.hed away his beer with a flick of my hand. I looked straight into his eyes and pressed my lips on his. He widened his eyes, seemingly a little at a loss, causing me to giggle happily. Turning on my seductive eyes, I said: ”Really not willing to take me sightseeing, have some fun?”

How many financial notables have succ.u.mbed to my seduction? How could Rong YuJiang resist?

”I....” He even started to breathe unevenly: ”Tomorrow I have to....”

”Who said anything about tomorrow? Are we not allowed to open the Rong mansion gate at night?” I reached over and grabbed his hand. His jerky reaction suggests that he is not used to a man's seduction.

”Dressed like this?”

”Don't tell me Hong Kong forbids wearing pajamas in the streets.” I dragged him out to the garage and forced him into his sportscar. Picked a random point on the GPS and asked Rong YuJiang to bring me there to have some fun. It was a well-made car. Smooth and steady yet fast. I opened the car window and let the wind rush in.

Rong YuJiang while driving had no choice but to look at me: ”The A/C is running out.” I turned around and smiled sweetly at him. He immediately blushed up to his ears and turned back to look ahead. Not knowing the reason, I suddenly feel the urge to seduce. This naive fella has yet to taste a man's seduction. I casually unb.u.t.toned my pajama top, allowing the wind to strike at my chest. Screeching brakes as we almost collided into a tree by the roadside.

”You...you...” The driver looked at me while breathing unevenly.

”Don't tell me exposing one's chest in the car is forbidden under Hong Kong law?” I raised my brow. He looked at me for a long time.

Calmed down, and regaining his former gentle manner: ”Put them back on ok, you'll get the chills.” I really dislike people that resist my charm. I suddenly pulled him up by his collar.

”YuJiang, have you tried it with a man?” I asked breathily into his ear. Truly entertaining. The younger brother wants to seduce me while I fail to entice the older brother.

He struggled not to get up and wrinkled his brow: ”I'm not gay.”

”Ha! You think I am? It's the trend of the world these days. Playful trysts in high society, who wouldn't have a go?” I've always hated prudes. More than willing to mess them up. However, this naive person's expression is really amusing. I couldn't help myself from provoking him.

”Kiss me.” I ordered him.

”Why?”

”Then why did you agree to accompany me so late in the night? What more in pajamas.”

”Don't be unreasonable.” He furrowed his thick black brows looking at my lips that I had delivered to his doorstep. Was he getting a headache from my provocative behavior or was it his sensible nature wrestling with his impulsive side? I leisurely watched him. More often than not, it is the most proper, most traditional, most obedient, most introverted people that succ.u.mb to such taboo matters. Rong YuJiang being one of them. Such a night, with such a good atmosphere, dressed like this, and above all with me confidently oozing with s.e.x appeal. How can Rong YuJiang not fall into this trap? Sure enough, he submits and lightly kissed me. I smiled. Once again I've ruined something. I have lured this perfectly behaved young master Rong into a seductive abyss. My old man would surely benefit from this. Rong YuJiang's kiss was very tender. Although not extremely skilled, it was very pleasant. A very sincere feeling.

Hearing me giggle, he asked: ”Why are you laughing?” One kiss later and his voice was unexpectedly full of tenderness. His deep voice leaving me a little drunk. Not all like those who could jump into bed one night and act like nothing happened the day after.

”Do you like me?” I asked with my head held high.

He looked at me and earnestly replied: ”I do.”

I sneered: ”Just for how long have you known me? One minute and you've already fallen for me?”
