“You’re welcome. It's just a thing of lifting my finger.” Yamaguchi Eiko’ s eyes glittered with admiration. She wanted to avoid the silence between them, so she said, “I happen to be going on a trip to Tokyo when I return home, how about taking you out for dinner then?”
Kerry smiled, “I’m afraid I can’t.”
“Why?” Yamaguchi was a little surprised.
Kerry answered with some tenderness, “My wife doesn’t allow me to eat alone with another woman.”
she froze and asked with shock, “You’ve married?”
“Yes, and my child is almost a year old.” Although he hadn’t met him yet.
Almost instantly, as if deflated, Yamaguchi lost all her enthusiasm, whose tone was with disappoint, “Your son must be cute. Excuse me, I’m going to the restroom.”
Kerry politely made a gesture of letting her go. After she left, he turned into a poker face again.
Nighthawk couldn’t help but admire inside as he watched beside him. His boss was still awesome, making her quit so easily. If it was him, he wouldn’t know what to do at all, but he felt that it was because he had too little practical experience.
Sky City
During the days when Kerry was not here, Venus lived a very quiet life. Sometimes at noon she called Xuan Chu to eat together.
“I heard that Kerry has gone abroad?” He asked casually.
“Well, America, for business. But I don’t know what it is, for he didn’t say and I didn’t ask.” Venus said without changing her face. They had talked about their strategies before Kerry left.
Xuan Chu glanced at her, “Are you sure he put the rest of the map in that Jindun company?”
“That’s right.” Venus was positively sure.
Xuan Chu considered for a moment and said, “It’s definitely unrealistic to ask Kerry to take us there to get it, so find a way to ask for the number and we’ll find someone to go in.”
Venus was surprised that it could be this easy.
“Who do you want to do that? I’ve heard the security system at the vault is pretty tight. Will this work?”
Xuan Chu smiled, “At least we need to have a try.”
“That’s a good idea. I’ll ask for the number of his case as soon as I can.” Venus pretended to exclaim, “I’ve never thought a vault could be so vulnerable. Is he your men or his?”
Xuan Chu sipped his lemon tea and said, “I’m a businessman, of course he’s the one who uses such tricks.”
“By the way, you have a good relationship with that guy.” Venus teased.
Xuan Chu laughed and didn’t say anything.
Venus continued to ask, “I’m really curious, you, the young master of Hong Kong’s Chu family, have everything you want, so why do you get involved in this crap?”
Seeing she was so naïve, he sighed, “What’s so hard to figure out about this? Don’t you know that people’s desire for money is endless? Everyone loves money.”
Venus really wanted to scold him, “In order to get what you want, you kidnap my son?” But she didn’t say it.
“You really help him a lot, so aren’t you afraid that guy will end up taking all the treasure and not giving you a penny?”
“Impossible.” Xuan Chu directly denied.
Venus was carefully asking, “Impossible? As you just said, man’s lust for money is endless.”
“I believe him.” Xuan Chu said firmly.
Venus was surprised that he actually trusted someone so much, and suddenly she thought of something in her mind, looking at him with a strange gaze, “Xuan Chu, you and him are more than just friends, right?”
Xuan Chu looked up at her without saying anything.
“Really? Really?” Venus got excited.
Xuan Chu was a little annoyed for his secret being spotted. He picked up Mapo Tofu with his chopstick, coldly answering, “You speak too much today.”
This really aroused her curiosity, so she did not pay attention to the tofu and directly put into her mouth. The spicy instantly assaulted her taste bud, making her suddenly back to consciousness.
“Ah, hot, hot.” Venus screamed and drank a large mouthful of water. Until she couldn’t feel it, she blamed Xuan Chu, “Why so annoying? It almost kills me.”
Kerry, of course, didn’t care to take this advantage. Seeing the meter was shown 239 yuan, he took out three 100 yuan cashes from the wallet and said, “Thank you for driving me home at night. Keep the change.”
The driver immediately smiled with joy, taking the money and said, “Thank you so much,”
The person on duty at the gate saw it was Kerry, he was surprised for a few seconds, and then quickly opened the gate.
“Young master, welcome back.”
Kerry nodded and strode inside.
Ye’ s house was silent at night, with countless insects using the lawn as a stage to play a grand symphony.
Walking down the road to the villa tonight was extraordinarily different, because there was a sweetheart waiting for him.
Returning to his room, Kerry took a shower to wash off his sweat and dust and then he came to Venus’ s room.
The door had been locked.
But could this door stop Kerry?
The bed was huge, but Venus only slept at the corner. She was on her side with her legs slightly bending, like a fetus. Kerry took off his clothes and slept on her side, placing his hand carefully on her waist. The two looked like two spoons attached together.
Kerry felt comfortable smelling her scent and he soon fell asleep.
In the morning
Venus slept until she woke up naturally. Turning over, she felt her hand on something hot, and sat up in shock from the bed.
Wasn’t that Kerry? When did this guy get back?
Kerry was a light sleeper, so as soon as Venus moved, he woke up. He opened his eyes to see Venus staring at him, who was a little short of breath, with incredulity in her eyes. He grinned and said, “Good morning.”
“When did you get back?”
