Chapter 85 Something priceless

Yu Chen’s men were utterly quiet. It was already a huge shock to them that Luo Xiaolei actually managed to calm this boss who was supposedly impossible to tame and yet, what was this? They were seeing another shocking event! When they saw their boss being kissed, god knew just how long they all held their breaths in great anticipation for what would happen next. Almost all of them thought that it wouldn’t work but their boss actually ended up fainting? Just because of a single kiss?!

They, too, didn’t know what to feel after seeing that. They didn’t even know if they should laugh or cry from joy. Well, seeing their terrifying boss fainting in the arms of his fiancée was too much for them. They couldn’t even believe their eyes! He was the man who was capable of making his enemies pee their pants and faint in fear just by appearing before them, face to face, and yet a mere girl could actually make him collapse?

The men were too dumbstruck that they could only stand there and watch in silence, except of course, for a certain someone who was still energetic enough to risk his life just for the sake of his gossiping stomach.

Gu Wei was lying like a spy ninja on top of the van, eavesdropping. His hands were covering his mouth, of course, for him to hold his laughter and keep himself hidden. He almost burst out of control when he heard Yu Chen honestly admitting his inexperience. He was frustrated because he thought he shouldn’t have revealed such a secret to her. Well, he knew about those girls who loved the overly possessive and sexually active or lustful type of men so he felt like it was a bad idea. What if Luo Xiaolei was one of those kind of girls?

However, his worry slowly ebbed away and the reason was because he didn’t expect that their supposedly inexperienced boss would effortlessly turned things to his favor. Who would expect that this man, who just fainted over a kiss, was now asking his girl to coach him so smoothly, as if it was something so natural to him? He didn’t even actually ask for it directly. He made it seem like it was Luo Xiaolei who had offered herself to coach him.

’Damn it boss, I didn’t know you had this kind of talent hidden in you!! You’re supposed to be an inexperienced virgin! You sound so shameless now!! Ah... it looks like the phrase ’never underestimate a virgin’ is true!!’

While a certain someone was talking to himself, he finally heard a voice again, making him shake his head and continue shamelessly listening.

"Y-you want me to teach you?" Luo Xiaolei’s voice was still with disbelief. But Yu Chen simply nodded solemnly, as if he was asking a great master if he could be her disciple.

And then, before she knew it, Luo Xiaolei ended up having a battle inside her head... one saying stop this now or she will be digging herself deeper into a hole with him in it and the other part of her says to jump in with both feet.

Luo Xiaolei swallowed air before she gazed at the man again. She had a feeling that she was being trapped by this big panda’s scheme but the instant she felt the seemingly persuasive power of his eyes, again, she didn’t know why but she couldn’t utter even a single ’no’.

"W-well, it’d be bad if you faint every time you kiss someone so... fine, I’ll coach you. But Mr. Yu, my service pay is quite high you know?" Phew... somehow, Luo Xiaolei managed to at least say something that could light up the awkward mood. She even smiled mischievously at him, to make her lame joke more effective. But...

"I don’t care about the pay. I can give you whatever you want in return." He replied with serious, sincere voice, leaving Luo Xiaolei about to choke again. H-hey, big panda, humor me please...

And before Luo Xiaolei could reply, Yu Chen spoke again.

"What is your request? Please state it." he said and then there it was again, that peculiar look in his eyes which seemed to be a black hole sucking her in, not letting her go if she wouldn’t answer him.

Luo Xiaolei wanted to be mischievous about her answers but because of Yu Chen’s solemnness, she didn’t notice that her mood was already shifted as well. And then, she was instantly serious.

"Hmm... can I ask?" Luo Xiaolei started. When the man nodded, she tilted her head slightly and continued. "If you’re going to buy my service, how much would you pay?"

Yu Chen dropped his face to the level of her eyes, not averting his gaze off her. "Even if you sell your service to me, I won’t buy it. Because anything you do aren’t something I could buy. Money isn’t worthy enough." He said with a firm and honest voice.

"But you just said you will give whatever I want."

"I don’t believe that what you want is money."

". . . How could you be so sure?"

"No particular reason. I just don’t believe that you want money."

". . ." Luo Xialei pressed her lips tight before she opened her mouth again. "So, if you’re not going to pay my service with money what would you give me?"

Yu Chen fell silent. Their eyes held, and then the silence between them deepened.

Luo Xiaolei was intrigued. So intrigued that she could hardly wait for his reply.

"Something priceless." He finally answered.

Luo Xiaolei blinked. She waited for more but nothing followed those two words anymore, causing her curiosity to skyrocket.

She was about to ask again and force it out of his mouth when... suddenly, a certain angry monster inside her stomach growled. Luo Xiaolei was speechless. She can’t believe that she had completely forgotten about her hunger. When did she became this ravenous about him?

"I’m sorry, I’m keeping you from dinner." Yu Chen’s voice turned apologetic and then he held her hand. "Let’s go home, you need to eat." He continued and before Luo Xiaolei could speak, Yang Jin who already walked closer to them as soon as he saw Yu Chen moving away to leave, stopped them.

"Miss Luo actually had a small wound so let me treat her wound first." He said and Yu Chen’s aura instantly turned menacing. He looked at Luo Xiaolei with wide eyes and then he hastily brushed away her long hair which was covering her nape. When he saw blood on her skin, his eyes dilated.

Luo Xiaolei was immediately alarmed by his reaction. Afraid that his rage will consume him again, Luo Xiaolei quickly held his face, pulled him closer to hers and bumped her head on his.

"I’m totally fine, okay? This is just a little scratch so don’t be angry again please. We need to go home now. My stomach is begging." She pleaded and gladly, Yu Chen listened to her and he calmed down. He took a deep breath as he squeezed his eyes. When the man opened his eyes again, Luo Xiaolei quickly dragged him away towards his car.

...

While Luo Xiaolei’s wound was being treated by Yang Jin, the gossip guy, Gu Wei, suddenly appeared behind Yu Chen who was currently standing beside the car, watching.

"Boss... that something priceless the world could never afford, don’t tell me you’re actually talking about your body." He whispered, grinning like a bob cat, causing Yu Chen to slowly turn to him. Gu Wei flinched, expecting a deadly glare, but to his surprise what he expected didn’t happen.

"That’s right. The only thing I have aside from money is myself after all." Yu Chen immediately admitted, causing Gu Wei to almost choked himself to death. Oh my god!! I-I-I was just joking and yet I ended up being right again?!!!
