Chapter 757: A Special Request
Everyone burst into laughter, imagining the expression on that old man’s face.
"I think it was too lenient. He must have harmed many girls. If I were there last night, I’d make sure he could never have children!"
Cheng Ruonan voiced her dissatisfaction fiercely, making a clawing gesture with her hand.
All the men present felt a chill down there and instinctively shrank back. Both Gao Peng and Kong Lingchuan, who had originally thought Cheng Ruonan was stunning, now felt apprehensive. This woman was truly fierce.
Yang Cheng, slightly speechless, then started talking about company matters.
"The procedures will be finalized tomorrow, and the company can officially get on track. You two must clock in daily without slacking off."
He raised his hand and pointed at the two spoiled young masters.
Unexpectedly, the two didn’t show any impatience but seemed quite expectant, quickly nodding in agreement.
"Brother Cen, I’ll definitely perform well and not embarrass you."
Gao Peng grinned, having already seen Yang Cheng as his elder brother.
Yang Cheng nodded and asked, "Have you contacted your dad recently? How’s he doing abroad?"
"I called him yesterday; they’ve settled down and seem to be okay. I’m hoping they come back soon!"
This was Gao Peng’s first long separation from his family, and he couldn’t help but miss them. Yet, he didn’t want to go abroad; he just wanted to stay with Yang Cheng.
"Don’t return for now; everything seems calm only on the surface."
Yang Cheng’s serious tone instantly raised a concern in Gao Peng’s heart.
"I understand. I’ll call my dad later, maybe after a few months. There’s nothing important for him here, he might as well be on vacation abroad."
Gao Peng knew Yang Cheng’s suggestion had its reasons, and he didn’t need to ask more, just trust him.
Just then, Yang Cheng’s phone rang. Upon seeing the number, a flash of joy appeared in his eyes, and he immediately answered.
"Little Yang, there’s some news about the thing you asked me to look into."
These words made Yang Cheng’s heart skip a beat, and he quickly asked, "Elder Qin, where is it, and what’s the price?"
"The item does exist. The seller’s company is struggling financially and wants to sell the Sun Essence Gold for a billion, but there’s a special requirement."
Elder Qin paused and continued, "The seller’s daughter has a rare illness, so you must go to Lin Zhou City to treat her. Only after she’s completely cured will they sell you the Sun Essence Gold."
As soon as he spoke, Cheng Ruonan, who had been listening in, couldn’t help but interject, "That’s excessive! Wanting medical treatment and then asking for a billion!"
"Ruonan."
Yang Cheng spoke, stopping her, and then said to Elder Qin on the other end of the phone, "I have no issue with the billion price, but I can’t guarantee curing the illness, and I can’t stay away for too long."
Although his medical skills were now exceptional, the world’s ailments were numerous, and he might not be able to cure them all.
For instance, treating Ni Qingyao, he had to travel all the way to Luochuan and stay in Hidden Cloud Village for a long time before curing her.
But now with Gong Jian’s predatory gaze, he couldn’t abandon Kong Lingwen in Zhonghai. If Gong Jian struck while he was away, it would be a calamity for the Kong Family.
Elder Qin sighed and said, "Ah! Honestly, I’ve asked many friends for you. They all say Sun Essence Gold is extremely rare; even if there is some, it’s owned by wealthy people who wouldn’t sell it for money—only this company’s financial troubles forced them to sell it to save themselves."
"Thank you, Elder Qin, I understand your point. Let me think about it and I’ll give you an answer tomorrow."
After he hung up, Yang Cheng felt a bit heavy-hearted. Things had become complicated again, like being stuck in a dead-end cycle.
He went upstairs, lay in bed, and thought that he should visit the Gong Family tonight to probe what kind of experts they had.
After some time, as he was almost drifting off to sleep, the door suddenly knocked.
He didn’t respond, for the door wasn’t locked anyway, and indeed, it opened the next moment. Two very soft footsteps crept in, like thieves.
Though his back faced the door, he could tell the intruders were Cheng Ruonan and Cheng Qiyue. They had a distinct fragrance, easily recognizable.
"Is he asleep?"
"Sleeping so early, after battling Kong Lingwen hundreds of rounds last night, must have worn him out, dog man!"
"Let’s not disturb him, let him get a good sleep."
"Then wasn’t all our preparation for nothing? Haven’t had a chance to cuddle him properly for ages; I really miss that feeling, Sis, don’t you?"
Cheng Ruonan complained, pulling Cheng Qiyue’s arm and shaking it.
"Of course, I do. But this is the Kong Family; we can’t mess around too much."
Cheng Qiyue whispered persuasively, pulling her to leave.
At this point, Yang Cheng suddenly turned and asked with a smile, "What are you planning in secret?"
"Ah! You scared me!"
Cheng Ruonan exclaimed and then pounced on him, pounding him with her fists, coyly saying, "You were pretending to sleep, eavesdropping on us, naughty man!"
"I was just about to drift off, and it’s you who snuck in and disturbed me, then blamed me."
Yang Cheng caught Cheng Ruonan’s small hand, gave a tug, and pulled her into his arms.
Cheng Ruonan had an enchanting figure, her chest extremely voluptuous beyond his grasp, yet her waist was slender enough to hold.
Before this, he had never seen someone with a naturally captivating figure; Cheng Ruonan was truly a born seductress.
"Annoying! We came to cheer you up, and you’re blaming us for bothering your sleep."
Cheng Ruonan pushed against his chest, her fingertips lightly trailing sensitive spots, expertly teasing him.
Lately, with Kong Lingwen monopolizing Yang Cheng, she hadn’t had the chance for intimacy—now she was ravenous, indifferent to the setting, determined to relish while Kong Lingwen was still asleep.
Seeing Yang Cheng awake, Cheng Qiyue locked the door and joined them at the bedside.
With an outstretched hand, he pulled Cheng Qiyue into his embrace too, delighting in having them both close, dispersing much of his inner gloom.
"Don’t be so rushed, let us show you the surprise we prepared."
Cheng Ruonan nudged him away and stood, unfastening the long coat’s buttons one by one, then opening it wide to reveal her impeccable physique.
Witnessing this, Yang Cheng’s eyes widened as Cheng Ruonan wore a halter strap body-hugging dress underneath, scarcely covering the essential spots.
Her pair of slender legs were clothed in fishnet stockings, donning high heels, causing him to almost have a nosebleed.
