Chapter 283: A Gentleman Loves Beauty, but Approaches it with Integrity
Ouyang Bing certainly would not invite Xiao Yun to eat in bed. She simply called the cafeteria of the Criminal Investigation Team, arranged for a small private room, ordered a few dishes, and invited Feng Xia. The three of them had a simple meal together, without even any alcohol.
Most of the team members in the Criminal Investigation Team recognized Xiao Yun and were aware of his reputation. They also knew that their beautiful Captain had an unusual relationship with him, so no one was particularly surprised.
As the three of them came out of the private room, several female team members who had just finished their meal passed by and gathered around them, chattering like a flock of sparrows.
"Wow, isn't that Xiao the Hero? Two ladies conquered by one guy!"
"Yeah, Divine Horse situation! Our Captain is not easy to win over!"
"Captain Ouyang, I want to interview you. What made you notice this guy?"
"Right! Captain Ouyang, share your thoughts with us!"
Usually, Ouyang Bing maintained a cold demeanor throughout the day, but outside of work, she often referred to some female team members as sisters and spoke casually, making jokes freely.
However, she didn't expect these girls to openly discuss it like this in the Criminal Investigation Team. She felt a rush of embarrassment inside, while her facial muscles tightened.
"What nonsense are you all talking about? I was discussing work with Xiao Yun, do you understand?" Ouyang Bing shot a cold glare at everyone present.
Xiao Yun, with his hands in his pockets, smiled and criticized Ouyang Bing: "The eyes of the public are sharp; don't be so surprised. They say whatever they see; what does it matter?"
Looking at him, he resembled Ouyang Bing, a superior leader.
What do you mean by the crowd's eyes being sharp?
Ouyang Bing was both amused and exasperated by him; it turned out this guy was just a troublemaker. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "Xiao Yun, the discussion is over, so hurry up and get lost!"
Damn it, this woman changes her attitude faster than she flips a book! If she knew that I was actually her superior in the Dragon Team, she would probably be scared out of her wits if I revealed my identity!
However, Xiao Yun thought this way; he didn't want to expose his identity in front of her. Otherwise, he would find it hard to hear her call him a beast or a rogue again.
In his view, hearing Ouyang Bing call him a beast and a rogue was an indescribable pleasure, much like being invited to bed for some physical exercise.
"Hey, wife, are you really telling me to get lost like this?" Xiao Yun squinted his eyes and grinned at Ouyang Bing with a mischievous smile.
Ouyang Bing blushed as she glanced at the teammates watching from the side and shouted at Xiao Yun, "Rogue, beast, who’s your wife?"
"You're not my wife now, but that doesn't mean you won't be my wife in the future!" Xiao Yun became more spirited as he spoke.
"The revolution has not yet succeeded; comrades must continue to work hard!"
The onlooking teammates surprisingly cheered for Xiao Yun in unison.
Xiao Yun proudly clasped his fists toward the teammates and declared loudly, "Thank you all for your encouragement! I will definitely work hard to win over Captain Ouyang!"
Ouyang Bing was so furious that she turned around and left. She thought to herself, how could this guy be so oblivious? He had offended someone from the Flower Family, yet he acted as if nothing had happened and still had the energy to fool around here. Sigh, what am I even worrying about for him?
For this peculiar situation, Ouyang Bing felt a mix of anger and concern for him. Even she couldn't understand why, despite her initial aversion to those fickle men surrounding Xiao Yun, she had somehow become infatuated with him.
Seeing Ouyang Bing return to the office, Xiao Yun stepped out of the Criminal Investigation Team's door, eager to get home. He wanted to open the suitcase he had obtained from Han Ziqi to see what secrets it held that had angered the Flower Family enough to seek out the Criminal Investigation Team in Galaxy City.
After crossing a street, Xiao Yun stood by the roadside, ready to hail a taxi home when he suddenly heard a bright voice from behind him: "Mr. Xiao!"
Turning around, he saw a brand new Fiat 500 pull up beside him, and an extremely beautiful woman leaned out of the car—it was Miss Yukiko.
"Ah, Miss Yukiko! What a coincidence!" Xiao Yun smiled and nodded.
Miss Yukiko opened the car door and gracefully stepped out, smiling sweetly. "Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect to run into you here. Where are you headed? I'll give you a ride!"
Today, Miss Yukiko wore a pink pleated skirt that revealed her long, fair legs, complemented by a pair of exquisite high-heeled sandals with colorful nail polish on her toes. The soft pink fabric hugged her body, accentuating her proud figure, while her long black hair cascaded over her shoulders.
Her appearance immediately caught the attention of the men on the street, their eyes lighting up as they turned to stare at her, some with mouths agape as if they wanted to devour her.
"Ah, Miss Yukiko," Xiao Yun quickly replied, "there's no need to drive me. I just had a meal and want to take a walk to digest."
Miss Yukiko rolled her eyes at him; she had clearly seen him reaching out to hail a taxi just moments ago. How did it suddenly turn into wanting to take a walk?
"Mr. Xiao, you aren't trying to avoid me on purpose, are you?" Miss Yukiko asked with feigned innocence and a pout on her rosy lips.
Seeing her expression was indeed endearing, it stirred something in Xiao Yun. This Island Nation woman seemed naturally charming; her skin was as fair as snow and water, and though she was petite, she was lively. He imagined that holding her close would bring about an entirely different kind of allure.
However, from Xiao Yun's perspective, he was currently in the process of "enduring" with Miss Yukiko. He certainly wouldn't easily give in to her; maintaining a somewhat distant relationship was best for now. He had learned from Lin Mengxuan that she had a boyfriend back in the Island Nation and that they were quite close. Therefore, he intended to keep her in suspense until she felt anxious enough to willingly submit to him.
Now hearing her say this, he chuckled and said, "Miss Yukiko, how could you think that? Do I seem like that kind of person?"
"Then what kind of person do you think you are?" Miss Yukiko was extremely annoyed; this Huaxia person was indeed difficult to deal with.
Xiao Yun said sadly, "I realize I am quite shameless!"
Miss Yukiko was taken aback; she couldn't believe he would say something like that.
"Why do you say that about yourself?" She tilted her pretty face, puzzled.
Xiao Yun replied, "Do you remember what I said when we first met in Jiang County? If you want to cooperate with me, you have to be my woman!"
Miss Yukiko's face flushed, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "I remember!"
Unexpectedly, this Island Nation woman also blushed; her shy appearance was quite endearing.
Xiao Yun's eyes swept over her proud curves as he licked his dry lips and said, "Actually, I liked you the first time I saw you. But later I realized that when I expressed my feelings to you, you didn't like me back. I finally understood that to love a woman, the first thing is for her to like you... Miss Yukiko, do you know why I avoid you? I feel truly ashamed in front of you!"
"Ah?" Miss Yukiko thought she must have misheard; was this really what Xiao Yun said?
Before she could react, Xiao Yun continued, "Miss Yukiko, I'm still saying the same thing: if you want to cooperate with me, you have to be my woman. But I need to wait for you to sincerely say that you like me—uh, a gentleman loves beauty but does so appropriately; a good man does not take what is not given. I am a principled person!" With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Miss Yukiko panicked: "Mr. Xiao, please wait a moment!"
Xiao Yun turned his head and asked, "Esteemed Miss Yukiko, may I ask what advice you have?"
"I..." Miss Yukiko felt an impulse to pounce on him and bite him to death, wanting to question him, "Are you deliberately showing off in front of me?"
Miss Yukiko secretly clenched her delicate fist and said, "What if... what if I say that I genuinely like you?"
Xiao Yun smiled and replied, "Impossible!"
Miss Yukiko asked, "Why?"
Xiao Yun said, "Because I don't believe it!"
"You..." Miss Yukiko said, "What can I do to make you believe me?"
Xiao Yun seemed to seriously consider this question. He pinched his brow with his fingers and said, "I tend to get confused in front of beautiful women. Honestly, I don't know how you can make me believe in your sincerity. How about this: whenever you suddenly make me feel something, it means we can be together."
Feel something?
What kind of feeling do you need?
Miss Yukiko put on a charming demeanor and said, "Mr. Xiao, it's fine. I'm confident that I can make you feel something for me!"
Xiao Yun looked at her well-defined and graceful features, smiling brightly as he said, "Alright, I hope the feeling you give me is vibrant and flavorful!"
"Then..."
Miss Yukiko threw him a flirtatious glance and said, "Let's just sit in my car and I'll drive you home!"
She really wanted to settle things quickly with him. Miss Yukiko realized that if she continued to hang around this Huaxia People, she would go crazy.
"No need, you can go. I have to take a walk and check out the beautiful legs in stockings on the street to enhance my appreciation for beauty!" Xiao Yun politely waved her off.
Miss Yukiko looked at Xiao Yun as if she were examining a monster for a while, then Wan'er suddenly smiled and said, "Alright then!"
Just as she was about to start the car, she heard Xiao Yun call out, "Wait a moment, Miss Yukiko! I forgot to tell you something!"
Uh, Miss Yukiko quickly leaned out of the car with a smile and asked, "Mr. Xiao, what is it?"
Xiao Yun said, "Well, the construction of the Production Base at Panlong Mountain is progressing very quickly. I am planning to hold a Flower Exhibition in the Galactic District soon to promote our Beauty Perfume brand. However, the Flower Exhibition requires funding. Could you support me again?"
"Didn't I already give you one hundred million? Is that not enough?" Miss Yukiko frowned.
Xiao Yun replied, "Considering the principle of earmarking funds, that one hundred million is allocated for other purposes. Of course, before the Flower Exhibition, I would like to invite you to visit our Spiritual Flowers at Panlong Mountain. You need to have confidence in your investment!"
Miss Yukiko felt like she might spit blood from what he said. Am I really going to lower myself and shamelessly try to get close to you, this Huaxia People, just to offer my body?
—Why do I feel so cheap in front of this man? The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
