”Just one second.” He said: ”I took one look at you when you entered the Rong house and I couldn't stop staring at you. Except that I was a little embarra.s.sed.”
I snorted. I really didn't expect that this rigid person could suddenly spout sweet nothings. At the pitch-black roadside, I simply took off my pajamas.
”Touch me.”
He asked: ”Touch where?” His heart was thumping, his throat dry.
”Right here.” I grabbed his hand and put in on my groin. He hastily withdrew his hand as if he had been bitten by snake. I laughed.
”Kiss me.” He obediently leaned over carefully towards my lips.
”Do you really like me?”
”Yes.”
”How much?”
”I don't know.” I like the feel of my naked body on his. Rong YuJiang is very st.u.r.dy. I reached into his pajamas and stroked his back muscles.
”Do you like me touching you like this?”
”I do.” He responded like a schoolboy. Must answer when asked. Clear and simple, incapable of deception.
**Sorry, I have no idea what these sentences mean.**
”YuJiang, call my name.”
”ShengSheng......”
”Keep calling.”
”ShengSheng, ShengSheng, ShengSheng.........”
I smile as if I'm Yang GuiFei's descendent in the night. Silently return to Rong mansion. The next day, the Rong father and sons were already in the middle of breakfast when I came downstairs.
”Good morning, Uncle Rong, YuJiang, YuTing.” There is a bowl of plain white congee in front of Uncle Rong. He said:
”Good morning ShengSheng. I wanted to ask the maid to call you downstairs for breakfast but YuJiang said that we should let you sleep-in after your long distance flight. That's why we didn't wake you.” I shot a quick look at YuJiang and caught sight of him overcautiously lowering his head to look at his own breakfast. I couldn't help but smile, curling up my lips to say:
”YuJiang is very attentive. Thanks to you, I managed to get a good sleep.” Rong YuTing interjected:
”That's right, big brother is attentive. ShengSheng, what are your plans today? I will act as your appointed driver.”
”There's no need for that. Papa said that since I'm here in Hong Kong, I should play less and learn from Uncle Rong. I think it would be better for me to follow all of you to Rong enterprise to observe.” I smiled as I lowered my head to hide my look of despise from Rong YuTing. It's much too late, Rong YuTing. This time you can't compare with the swift-footedness of your elder brother. I furtively looked at the warm and gentle Rong YuJiang. My heart suddenly filled with sweetness. Incomparably alluring, a feeling I have not experienced before this. That's right, the swift-footed one is actually me. I secretly laughted. After breakfast we all headed for the office. I declared in front of everyone that I wanted to sit in YuJiang's car.
”I really like this car model. Comfortable and reliable.” Rong YuTing who all along wanted to drive me had an unsightly look on his face but forced a smile and opened Rong YuJiang's car door for me. Sitting in the driver's seat, Rong YuJiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
”What is it? Are you afraid that I leaked out my intentions?” I asked.
”I didn't expect you to be so bold. Aren't you afraid that they would start to wildly speculate?” Sure enough, this well-behaved son behavior is back one night later. I groaned:
”The more evasive you are, the more people will suspect. These tactics you should learn a little.”
”Yes,yes, I don't understand.” The man laughs lightheartedly while driving, looking at me with eyes full of tenderness. I suddenly feel happy sitting like this by his side. I realized to my dismay and said to Rong YuJiang:
”You know what? You are inherently very seductive.”
”Oh?”
”That's because one look from you, and my heart leaps.” These words were half truths but he seemed to take them at face value. Happily glanced at me with his handsome face suddenly bright red. My heart leapt and I blushed. I couldn't help but imagine how it would be when he and I made love. This simpleton. Last night was such a good opportunity but he actually grit his teeth and restrained himself from touching me. I know there is an intense struggle in his heart. I feel a little moved with how he regards me with respect ----- but this respect is not at all what I wish for. Two men dressed in pajamas with unresolved feelings returned to their respective rooms. On top of that the pa.s.sionate kisses. The end result was me tossing and turning in frustration the whole night. Raining curses on the lovable but conservative Rong YuJiang. This really is the first time I've come across a man with such integrity.
Upon reaching the company, we grandiosely entered the office. Simple furnis.h.i.+ngs, desktop piled high with files. One glance and I'm already well aware of how Rong YuTing throws all the toilsome work at his elder brother. I walked up to the files. Carefully divided files with neatly written instructions. This person is actually not stupid, with a conscientious work ethic.
”Papa's office is up one floor. YuTing's office is next door.” YuJiang closed the door and smiled at me.
”Did you tell me that to warn me not to be brazen in the office?” I narrowed my eyes at him. YuJiang smiled shyly and came over to stand at my side. I know he wants to sidle up to me but lacked the courage to be suave. I sighed and guided his hand to encircle my waist. That hand immediately tightened around my waist seemingly unwilling to ever let go.
”Does YuTing always take advantage of you?” I sneered.
”This type of younger brother will sooner or later swallow you up.” His refined and polished face showed no signs of change as he lowered his head towards my neck and breathed:
”Don't speak of YuTing this way. This is unavoidable when you're born into a rich and powerful family.” I suddenly remember the story of the Buddhist monk who felt pity for the hungry wolf that was about to eat him. Simpleton...... Scary to think how I have such a favorable impression of a simpleton. I stayed in YuJiang's office the whole day, looking at him busily working. His secretary and him just like him, born under an ill star. Carrying files back and forth like a spinning top. There was no activity on Rong YuTing's side. Definitely not hard at work like YuJiang.
”Papa has called for us for a little meeting. You coming?” Although I most have attending meetings, I find myself nodding my head as I was too used to having him in my sights.
”Of course I will go. I'm also considered a future shareholder.” I pulled his hand and left the office and ran into YuTing that was also coming out from his office. Rong YuTing's face changed slightly when he spotted our joined hands. This fellow who is probably used to be better at everything than his elder brother if probably furious at his failure in tempting me into his own hands. We entered Uncle Rong's presidential office together. Uncle Rong came straight to the point.
”Have you all seen this round of urban construction tender recruitment from the governement?”
”I have already seen it. I just had a meeting with the subordinate engineer.” Rong YuTing vied to be the first talk. I looked at YuJiang. He was just on the phone confirming all the details and should have a good hold on this subject. Who would expect him to say:
”It would be good to have YuTing handle this matter. He is very experienced with urban construction.” This project is a big undertaking. Why is he unwilling to vie for this in front of Uncle Rong? I furtively pinched him. No wonder you are always getting bullied! YuJiang silently suffered my pinch. I turned around to see Rong YuTing's arrogant manner and at once felt my hate for him increase. Coming down from the short meeting, our ears were full of Rong YuTing's boastful description of his own plan. I rolled my eyes a few times and finally calmed down. Once inside YuJiang's office, I asked him to his face:
”Why did you not open your mouth? Aren't you also capable of handling this?” His desktop was full of meticulous official doc.u.ments. All showing his obvious capability. He said:
”You don't understand.”
”Fine, you tell me. What is it that I don't understand.” He simply said:
”I am adopted. I am not papa's own son. Only YuTing is.” I was stupefied. Rich and powerful families undoubtedly will have a great deal of secrets. Among them there will be a lot of bits and pieces that are hidden deeply. Yet he calmly revealed this secret to me who he has just met for one or two days. Made me a little unsettled.
”Even YuTing doesn't know this.” YuJiang gave a wry smile. ”He wholeheartedly takes me as an adversary not knowing that I can't contend with him.”
”Then why did you tell me this?” He smiled:
”I don't want you to be resentful because of me.” Of course I am resentful because of him. All the work in the company is done by him , but the glory is all for Rong YuTing. In this manner, this Rong family eldest soon would probably not inherit a single cent of the Rong family fortune in the future. Looking at him seemingly like an oppressed willing-ox, I fell even more resentful.
”Why not challenge?” I bit my lip: ”The adopted son also has the right of inheritance.” He paused slightly and gave me a disapproving look. Such blind devotion, since ancient times have also met with the same sad end. With me at his side, of course it won't end in such a pitiful condition. I secretly clenched my fist and regarded myself as a hero to help those who were oppressed. Looks like the psychological tests I have taken were right. I really am the impulsive type. But why should I not be impulsive for the sake of this lovable yet meek YuJiang. Maybe this plan will also be beneficial to my family. Can't say I'm sn.o.bbish. It's just that in my position, I can't but consider such things. Since it's settled, I will start my plan of playing the redeeming hero ------ Rong YuJiang's redeeming hero. Of course I have to first enlist some support. That very evening, I called my dad.
”Pa, what do you think of the Rong family internal power struggle?”
”What power struggle? Rong YuTing is already the clear winner.”
”Not necessarily. I want to help Rong YuJiang.”
”Oh? Why?” This old man can only be persuaded by profit. I said:
”Rong YuTing is devious. Rong YuJiang is honest and considerate. You as a shareholder should look for a president with a good character. Furthermore, it would be easy to control an honest and straightforward person.
”Rong family is such an old and ill.u.s.trious family. You think you can influence it?”
”Just sit back and watch. However, when I need the shareholder influence, Pa, you have to help me.” Pa did not utter a sound on the phone but I know he is already persuaded. Perhaps he has already shua shua shua written down the takeover Rong enterprise masterplan in his hand. After chatting on the phone, I lied down on my back on the bed. Momentary overcome with lofty ambitions. Kick open the firmly grasped in Rong YuTing's Rong enterprise and let the adopted Rong YuJiang take over. Can't explain why I truly want to help Rong YuJiang. Don't tell me I have already fallen in love with this person. I shake my head. This can't be, all my life I have never fallen in love with someone so quickly. My loins start to warm up as I remember the sweet moment when YuJiang hugged me in the office this morning. Let's just say it is for the sake of the Huang family. After all we already have a significant investment in this Rong enterprise. After all, it would be better to have Rong YuJiang at the helm, than to have to deal with Rong YuTing in the future. Finding an excuse for myself, I finally feel at ease and fell asleep.
Half dreaming and half awake, I suddenly sense movement before my eyes. I woke up with a start. One look and unexpectedly it is YuJiang sitting at my bedside. I feel a little pleasantly surprised.
”It's you.” I pat my frightened out of my mouth heart. He said:
”It's me.” He lowered his head and lightly smiled: ”I can't sleep, thinking you might be once again looking for water to drink, so I've come to check on you.”
”But my room door is locked. You broke into my room in the middle of the night to check if I might be thirsty?” He said embarra.s.sedly:
”I have the key.” I suddenly feel that he is actually quite smooth. p.r.o.ne to tempt people and start trouble. With ten thousand types of amorous feelings towards him I laugh:
”Looks like you had prepared the key a long time ago. At any time can request illicit s.e.x with Rong family's guests.” I boldly lift one of legs and put it on his shoulder and watched his fl.u.s.tered manner. The look in YuJiang's eyes were dying to eat me up into his belly but his manners remained as proper as always. He took my leg and gently placed it back on the bed. He pulled the coverlet over me:
”Be careful not to get chilled. The A/C in Rong house is especially strong.”
”I'm not cold.” I purposely revealed my delicate fair ankle and waved it under his eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head and caught my ankle and stuffed it under the coverlet. ”YuJiang, do you truly like me?” Seems like I have already asked this question before. But there's no harm in asking once again.
”I do. Truly.” I discovered that I have fallen in love with his voice.
”I want to work together with you.”
”OK. With your status, you can absolutely partic.i.p.ate in the executive council.”
”I want you to accompany me everywhere wander about.”
”Wait until I've finished the work at hand, and I will properly accompany you.” After chatting for almost half and hour, I yawned and narrowed my eyes. YuJiang stood up and gently kissed my forehead. I closed my eyes, too lazy to keep them open. I grasped his pajama front firmly and brought his mouth towards my lips. I brought YuJiang's breathy kiss into the insides of my mouth. Tender and leisurely like thin rivulets flowing freely over moss covered rocks.
”Go to sleep.” He whispered in a low voice in my ear. I entered into a deep deep sleep.
