Chapter 360: Am I Going To See Hades Again?
Xiling was bewildered. “What about Hades?”
Duoyao was embarrassed. She almost forgot Xiling was still around.
“What on earth happened?” Yan Molun sat at the side with a cigarette between his fingers. He still hadn’t gotten a clear picture of what happened up until now.
Duoyao lazily picked up a banana lying on the table, peeled it and took a bite. She mumbled, “Nothing much. It was just that Kang Anhe wanted to hook up with me but I refused, so he held a grudge and got the company to shelve me. I couldn’t stand it so I went to splash him with a bucket full of foul dog’s blood and pig’s blood in the afternoon.”
Yan Molun’s thick eyebrows knitted tightly together. He glanced at Duoyao through the dense smoke. “Troublemaker.”
Duoyao didn’t think he would blame her and she said angrily, “I already let him off easily by splashing him with dog’s blood. I initially wanted to slash his tires.”
Xiling felt a little trepidation when she heard that. “If you were to slash his tires and anything untoward happened to him, you would’ve broken the law.”
“That’s why I didn’t do it.” Duoyao pouted. “In any case, I wouldn’t feel good not venting my anger. However, I’m 80% certain he won’t dare to call the police.”
Yan Molun inhaled deeply before extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray. After the cigarette was out, he said as his face sank, “What I meant was that you shouldn’t have gone over to look for him alone. Do you know what the consequences are if you encounter a man with a bad temper? Beating you up would be considered letting you off easy. I guess you could be considered quite lucky. Did you run very quickly?”
Duoyao pouted. Alright, she had to admit that he did make some sense. She did run very quickly. Actually, she was also afraid of getting beaten up.
“If something like this happens next time, you should call me first,” Yan Molun said lightly. “Isn’t he just a young master of an entertainment company? I can just get someone to break his legs. You didn’t have to do such things yourself.”
The corners of Xiling’s mouth twitched. Alright, at first, she thought he was blaming Jiang Duoyao for offending Kang Anhe. In the end, he was more ruthless than her. If he was another man, she might’ve mocked him for being overconfident, but those words came out from Yan Molun’s mouth. The dangerous gloom in his eyes made it hard for people not to believe that he wasn’t being overconfident.
However, how powerful was his background that he could talk about breaking someone’s legs?
She couldn’t help but reassess Yan Molun again.
Duoyao was also smitten by Brother Molun’s aggressive tone. It was really very cool for a man to say such things calmly. After all, he was someone who could deal with Zhu Fenglei in minutes. She trusted his abilities. “There’s no need for that—I’m someone who loves peace. We don’t have to make it so violent.”
Xiling sighed silently. She didn’t know what these two were talking about. In any case, they didn’t seem to be the least bit worried. “Since you already decided to leave the company, I’ll be leaving first. I think Sister Shuang will ask me about the incident later.”
Duoyao looked at her reluctantly. She wanted Xiling to go with her. Xiling had been her assistant all this while, but it would be very risky for Xiling to stick with her. After all, it hadn’t been easy for her to get this far in the company. “Sure. If Sister Shuang asks you about it, just tell her the truth.”
She got up to see Xiling out. Xiling wasn’t in high spirits either. After all, the two of them were in Tibet together for so long and could be considered to have gone through thick and thin together. Besides, Duoyao wasn’t one who would put on airs, unlike some celebrities who appear to be amiable under the spotlight but beat and scolded their assistants privately, treating them like dogs. It wasn’t that Xiling didn’t want to stick with her, but it was just that it was too risky.
“Xiling, if I can terminate my contract successfully, I actually want to open my own studio. I hope you can work with me.” Duoyao was a little melancholic as she said, “Of course, that’s only if I can successfully terminate my contract. If I can’t, then forget it. I quite enjoy working with you. Although it’s normal for people to gather and separate at work, I’ll kind of miss the time I spent with you.”
Xiling’s eyes reddened. “Jiang Duoyao, can you not make it sound so emotional? I’m so frustrated.”
“It’s alright. If I can’t make it in the entertainment industry, then I’ll leave. I don’t have to beg the Kang Family to provide me with a means of living,” Duoyao said carefreely. “I’ll finish whatever work I have left in these next few days and I’ll also get a lawyer to help me with the termination of my contract.”
Xiling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. Sometimes, she kind of admired Jiang Duoyao’s carefree personality.
...
Yan Molun went back to the kitchen to cook. He held a frying pan in his hand and was cooking yam. Duoyao was hungry and the tempting smell made her walk over to take a look.
Yan Molun looked at her gluttonous expression scornfully and said, “I’ll hire a lawyer for you. You don’t have to worry about the contract termination; he’ll handle all of it.”
“That’s impressive.” Duoyao looked at his calm and mesmerizing profile. She was simply idolizing him. “Would that be... creating too much trouble for you? I feel like I’ve been troubling you ever since we got together.”
Yan Molun glanced at her. “You are quite troublesome. Why don’t... you make it up to me in some other aspects?”
He glanced at her chest as he said that. Duoyao also lowered her head to take a look. When she realized what he was hinting at, she blushed completely. “Fat hope. You almost killed me with the pain last time.”
“Then what should we do?” Yan Molun had a helpless look on his face. “Then should I still help you? After all, you seem quite sorry to inconvenience me.”
Duoyao bit her lip and glared at him. She snorted. “Whatever.”
After saying that, she stormed out of the kitchen angrily.
Yan Molun smiled. Half an hour later, he came out with the chicken soup and side dishes. Duoyao was still sitting on the couch gloomily.
“You’re not eating?” Yan Molun raised his brows.
Duoyao turned her face over. She was so enticed by the aromatic chicken soup that she didn’t care for preserving her face. She walked over and took a sip of the chicken soup. It was thick and sweet.
Yan Molun glanced at her satisfied little face and found her funny. He reached out his chopsticks and put a drumstick in her bowl.
Duoyao looked at the enticing drumstick covered with a golden gleam and she was stunned. She turned around and looked at Yan Molun, who was eating silently at the side. Suddenly, she felt touched. She thought for a while and put the drumstick in his bowl.
He looked up. “What are you doing?”
“Letting you have it,” Duoyao said with a smile. “Has no one given you a drumstick before?”
Her smile could make one dizzy. Yan Molun stroked her little head. “Since you’re so kind, I will eat it.”
“Mm, mm.” Duoyao nodded.
After Yan Molun finished his drumstick, he said, “Don’t be so rash the next time. No matter what it is, think it through. You already have a boyfriend, do you understand? Most men aren’t as easy to deal with as you think. You were just lucky this time.”
His tone was low. Duoyao was stunned for a moment. She nodded. “Alright, I get it. I’ll ask you for help next time, alright?”
Yan Molun said, “Mm. Continue going to work as per usual tomorrow. I’ll have your contract terminated quietly within a week without the media finding out.”
“That’s... impressive.” Duoyao took in a deep breath of air. “By the way, Brother Molun, Uncle Molun, what on earth are you?”
“No matter what I am,” Yan Molun got her some side dishes and continued, “as long as I can find the source of the Kang Family’s fears, I’ll have a way to settle it. Every industry is the same. As long as you have a strong backing, no one would dare to offend you.”
Duoyao thought it made sense and nodded vigorously. It seemed as though Brother Molun had a very strong backing. She had accidentally found herself an omnipotent robot cat.
...
At night, Duoyao came out after her shower. Yan Molun was already lying on her two-meter-wide bed. Actually, her bed was quite huge and she could sleep vertically or horizontally on it. However, Yan Molun was quite big, and all of a sudden, he made her bed look small and narrow.
On top of that, Yan Molun was lying bare-chested. His feet were hanging off the bed.
Duoyao climbed into bed nervously. She looked at his proportionate body. He was so tall that even her bed wasn’t long enough for him.
“I think you need to custom-order another bed next time.” Yan Molun suddenly turned his gaze away from his phone as he spoke to her.
“It’s because you’re too tall.” Duoyao pouted. “And the bed has to be wider. Your shoulders are so wide.
“Mm.” Yan Molun reached his long arm out and pulled her into his embrace. She didn’t know what body wash he used, but the scent made every pore of this man open up.
Duoyao shuddered nervously. Her eyes couldn’t help but widen. “Am I going to see Hades again?”
“No.” Yan Molun kissed her chin. He said with a low and hoarse voice, “I won’t go in tonight.”
Duoyao pouted. “I don’t really believe you. You always lie to me.”
“You can trust me one more time.” Yan Molun smiled. “If I don’t keep my promise this time, you have the right to point your finger at me and say that I don’t keep my promises in the future.”
Duoyao was in a dilemma. He had already made it sound so solemn. He must be serious.
Just as she was thinking that, Yan Molun flipped over, laying on top of her. Duoyao swept a glance at his healthy, bronze skin. She couldn’t help but gulp. “Do you work out regularly?”
“Not really. I just do some boxing with my friends occasionally.” Yan Molun raised his brows. “What do you think about my body?”
Duoyao licked her dry lips and said as her eyes darted around, “It’s okay.”
“It’s okay?” Yan Molun laughed softly. He wasn’t very satisfied with this answer. “But many women say I have a very good body.”
Although his body charmed Duoyao so much that she was a little dizzy, she still managed to catch on to the keywords “many women”. She glared at him. “It seems like there were quite a number of women who have seen your body.”
