"I," Li Yang paused for a moment, then understood, "Sorry, I just woke up and hadn't had time to come out."
"You still say that, hurry up and get out."
"Don't rush, I'll just..."
"Hurry up."
"I know, I know. Don't be anxious."
After a flurry of activity, Li Yang finally separated from Tang Xinyu. Seeing her flushed pretty face, he chuckled awkwardly and said, "You were the one who initiated this time, you can't blame me, right?"
"You still say that!" Tang Xinyu glared at him indignantly, stamping her foot. However, recalling the previous frenzy, she had no grounds to blame Li Yang. She picked up her clothes and hid behind the sofa to put them on.
Li Yang touched his nose. Women's hearts were truly like needles at the bottom of the sea, utterly incomprehensible. As the saying goes, the first time is awkward, the second time is familiar. They had been through it twice now; they had seen everything and done everything. What was the need to be so shy with him?
Pulling up his pants, Li Yang heard the rustling stop. He looked towards the sofa and said, "Are you done? If so, come out."
"I want to rest for a while," Tang Xinyu revealed only half her head, looking at him. "You should go."
"If I leave, what happens when Zhang Ziming and Mr. Zhao return with people?" Li Yang asked.
Tang Xinyu said, "After you leave, I'll leave here immediately too."
"I think you don't want to rest, you're just shy to see me?" Li Yang smiled and walked towards the back of the sofa.
Tang Xinyu was startled and quickly said, "You, what are you going to do?"
"Of course, I'm taking you with me." Li Yang walked up to her and picked her up directly.
Tang Xinyu cried out in surprise and pushed him with her hands, "I can walk myself, I don't need you, ah, Li Yang, you scoundrel, put me down quickly."
"Haha, just scream. Even if you scream your throat raw, I won't let you go," Li Yang laughed heartily, seeing her trembling with fear.
Tang Xinyu said fiercely, "You scoundrel, I'm not done with you."
"I'm happy to accompany you to the end," Li Yang said, carrying her as he walked out.
Mr. Zhao and Zhang Ziming were still lying on the floor, showing no signs of waking up. Tang Xinyu couldn't help but be astonished.
She had thought Li Yang would only deal with Zhang Ziming and the other person. She hadn't expected so many people to be sprawled in the corridor. "Who did this?"
"Besides your handsome and mighty boyfriend, who else could it be?" Li Yang chuckled.
Tang Xinyu was stunned. "You brought people to fight?"
"What do you mean 'brought people to fight'? I was more than enough to handle them by myself."
"You mean, you took them all down by yourself?" Tang Xinyu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
Not to mention others, Mr. Zhao had a bodyguard who was rumored to be a master of combat and had even won a championship in a fighting competition!
That was a formidable opponent not easily dealt with. How could Li Yang have handled them all by himself? "Are you telling the truth?"
"You don't believe me? How about I wake them up again, and you can ask them one by one?" Li Yang looked at her.
Tang Xinyu shook her head. "Absolutely not. If they wake up, we'll be in danger. Still, ah!"
Suddenly, Li Yang slapped her on the backside.
Tang Xinyu let out a soft cry, both angry and ashamed. "Li Yang, why did you hit my butt!"
"You don't believe your boyfriend, so do you deserve a spanking?" Li Yang said.
"You, you scoundrel."
"Yes, I am the scoundrel you can never get rid of, the one you think about day and night."
"Who thinks about you day and night? Don't talk nonsense."
"If not, why did you call me first when you were in danger, instead of looking for your second uncle?" Li Yang said with a smug smile.
Tang Xinyu opened her mouth, unable to retort. Angrily, she bit his shoulder.
"Ah, ouch! Are you a dog? You bit me before, and you're still biting me," Li Yang feigned pain and shouted.
Tang Xinyu was taken aback. "I, what did I bite you with before?"
"What do you think?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't!"
"Didn't? I'll take off my clothes and show you, there are still your teeth marks on it," Li Yang teased.
Tang Xinyu quickly said, "No, I don't want to see!"
Oh my god!
What did I eat before to be so crazy, to actually bite him and leave teeth marks? How embarrassing!
Seeing her reaction, Li Yang almost burst out laughing. "It's really nothing. When lovers are together, it's boring to always do it in the same position. Occasionally changing to new positions can increase each other's feelings, and it can also..."
"Stop talking, I don't want to listen, I don't remember anything," Tang Xinyu quickly covered his mouth with her hand. "Thank you for saving me. How about I treat you to a meal?"
"Okay, let's go eat then."
Not long after the two left the hotel, someone finally discovered Zhang Ziming and the others. They exclaimed, "Oh no, someone's dead. Quick, call an ambulance!"
"What? Someone's dead!"
After a moment of panic, Zhang Ziming and the others were rushed to the hospital.
Jiangcheng Bank, in the Governor's office.
A middle-aged man, around fifty years old, who bore some resemblance to Zhang Ziming, was staring intently at a few chess pieces on his desk. He chuckled coldly, "Among the eight great families of Jiangcheng, the Tang family, as a newly emerging force, lacks depth. It's a major weakness, but it also presents an opportunity for me."
"As long as my son can make the Tang family's young lady his wife, and then I can use loans as an excuse to take control of the Tang Group, stabilize the situation, and establish my prestige, the entire Tang family will be mine. It will only be a matter of time, hahaha!"
"Bad news, terrible news!" Suddenly, the office door was burst open, and a man in a black suit rushed in, looking flustered. "Governor Zhang, something has happened to the young governor!"
"What is it, rushing in like this? What kind of manners are these!" Governor Zhang's face turned cold as his pleasant dream was shattered.
He was aware of his son's character. Today he might be at one bar, tomorrow at a nightclub, or perhaps at some beauty's home, constantly chasing after women.
Although he found him useless, he only had this one son, so he doted on him and indulged him. "Secretary Qi, whose girlfriend or daughter has Ziming slept with this time?"
"No. None of that. The young governor was beaten up and is currently being treated in the hospital," Secretary Qi said anxiously.
Governor Zhang's face changed. "Wasn't he with Mr. Zhao? Call Mr. Zhao and ask him why my son is in trouble!"
"Governor, Mr. Zhao was also beaten and hospitalized!" Secretary Qi said bitterly.
Governor Zhang's face suddenly changed drastically. "What did you say?"
"A good-for-nothing who lacks maturity and only causes trouble!"
"Let's go, what are we waiting for? Hurry and prepare the car to go to the hospital!"
