Chapter 67: The Richest Man Went to Have a Barbecue
Upon hearing the words "family punishment," Gu Yanran immediately closed her mouth, though her eyes remained fixed on Li Yun, showing even a hint of anticipation at the idea.
No way!
What kind of maid had he raised?
Seeing Gu Yanran's expectant eyes, Li Yun couldn't help but avert his gaze. This maid definitely had masochistic tendencies.
It's said there's a condition called masochism syndrome.
It's a phenomenon where victims of a crime develop emotions for their aggressors and even end up assisting them.
Could it be that Gu Yanran was now in that state, beginning to depend on him?
It seemed he needed to continue testing her to confirm.
"What are you standing around for? Hurry and prepare food for your master! Do you want me to starve to death?"
"The food is ready; I was just waiting for you to return, sir."
"That's more like it."
Li Yun entered the villa, and as soon as he sat down, Gu Yanran served several dishes.
Sweet and sour pork, red-braised pork, steamed fish... most were meat dishes.
After all, after living together for so long, Gu Yanran had come to understand that Li Yun was someone who couldn't live without meat.
"Sir, please try this and let me know what you think. If something's not right, please tell me so I can improve."
Li Yun picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece of braised pork. Although it couldn't compare to a five-star chef's cooking, Gu Yanran's effort was commendable.
"Not bad. You've improved a lot since last time."
Seeing Gu Yanran's hopeful expression, this time Li Yun decided not to criticize her.
"Thank you, sir, for the compliment. I'll keep working hard!"
The recognition of her efforts made Gu Yanran beam with joy. It was the first time Li Yun had praised her like that, and for some reason, it brought her profound satisfaction.
Gu Yanran's expression pleased Li Yun. It seemed that the complete submission of this cold CEO wasn't far off.
...
At night.
In an ordinary boxing gym.
A man in his thirties, bearing a slight resemblance to Li Yun, was throwing punches continuously.
Punch after punch landed on the punching bag, leaving him drenched in sweat.
This man was none other than Li Jun, Li Yun's third brother and the president of Longwei Security, the largest security company in Jinling Province.
"Mr. Li, here, a towel for you."
A suited man nearby noticed Li Jun had finished and quickly offered him a towel with respect.
Don't be fooled by his serious demeanor; this man, known as Wu Ye (Fifth Master), was one of the top three leaders of Jinling's underworld.
Li Jun took the towel without hesitation, wiped his sweat, and tossed his gloves aside.
"What do you want?" he asked impatiently.
"Well, Mr. Li, there have been many changes in Jinling recently, and I thought..."
Wu Ye began explaining the situation but was cut off when Li Jun raised his hand and said, "Enough. I only deal with legitimate business. Do you want me to eliminate the other two forces so you can become the leader of the underworld? That would drag me into the mud."
"And besides, you want to involve my elder brother? He's a businessman, not someone like you who only knows how to fight. Don't count on it."
Li Jun had no interest in getting involved with the underworld. The Li family was a powerhouse in Jinling, and Wu Ye's matters were beneath their notice.
Li Jun put his gloves back on and resumed training while Wu Ye, desperate, tried to keep pleading.
"Mr. Li, can't you make an exception? I'm willing to serve you loyally from now on."
"Make an exception?" Li Jun replied coldly. "Don't you know my elder brother doesn't want anything to do with the underworld? If I do this, are you trying to sow discord between us as brothers?"
"Mr. Li, that's not it! I would never dare to provoke discord between you two!"
Terrified by the accusation, Wu Ye had no choice but to repeatedly apologize.
"If that's not the case, then you can leave."
"Lao Liu, escort him out!"
"Sir, excuse me, but I must ask you to leave," said a burly man as he gestured toward the exit.
Wu Ye knew that Li Jun was someone with absolute power. Compared to him, Wu Ye was nothing more than an insect, so he didn't dare to persist.
After sending Wu Ye off, Li Jun, still uneasy, picked up his phone and called Li Yun.
Within a minute, his elder brother answered.
"Hello, elder brother? What are you doing?"
"Having barbecue."
"What? Having barbecue? Seriously?"
Li Jun was stunned. How could the richest man in Jinling be eating barbecue? Was this a sign of changing times, or was he simply out of touch?
"It's just barbecue. Why are you so surprised?"
"Eh... No, it just seems odd to me."
"By the way, where are you? I have something to discuss with you."
"I'm at..."
After getting the address, Li Jun quickly took a shower and headed to the location.
...
At that moment, Li Yun was indeed enjoying some barbecue.
After eating Gu Yanran's cooking for so long, he had grown a bit tired of it. Besides, he thought it was a good time to "cool things down" with her to achieve better results later.
Of course, he wasn't alone; he was accompanied by Su Xiaowan, his lover and secretary.
"Mr. Li, are you sure you like this kind of place?" Su Xiaowan asked, surprised.
"What's wrong with it? It's just barbecue. Eat before it gets cold."
Li Yun grabbed a skewer of meat and began eating. The taste reminded him of his past life, when he used to enjoy some beer and barbecue after work.
Those were good times, though he knew he could never return to them.
