My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Chapter 90 - Training A House Cat? (Bo Lifen + CEO)

  "... What if I tell you that I wouldn't exactly mind going for this more than once?" Bo Lifen averted her gaze from his and wished that she didn't have said it herself. Her teeth grazed slightly on her lip as she awaited him to refuse her. It was a vulnerable moment she hoped wouldn't backfire even if he said no.

"I don't mind it either."

She looked back at him in surprise, working her jaw for a moment. "You just agreed to it instantly… I'm not sure if I expected this or not." What exactly went through his mind right now? The man in front of her somehow had a wicked poker face when he wanted to. She glared at him. "It seems like almost all men are the same, aren't they? You refused me first, but now you're also interested."

Her remarks didn't elicit any reaction or visible change to his face. Maybe he wasn't just thinking so you couldn't read his expression? She honestly didn't know what it was with him that made her consider him attractive, and now she was unsure if she was happy or just confused. Even when she was the one who asked in the first place… 

A small chuckle escaped from him, "Well, perhaps it as you said—most men wouldn't be able to refuse a chance to be with a woman like you. At least it's mutual between the two of us. Do you not agree, Miss Lifen?"

There was truth in the fact that he said 'most' and she assumed that he would be one of the few that would ignore it… and yet she also wanted this? Her ears burned hotly, and she rubbed her face, "I'm going home now, goodnight." She needed to put her wits together first before she handled this situation with him.

Before he could make a remark about getting her home or anything like that—she ran away.

Perhaps this was a win for him tonight, but tomorrow would definitely be different! She threw one last look in his direction and shouted, "I'll contact you tomorrow about the pearl supplier—or something."

[ You Have Received 1000 Charm Points ]

Li Yang watched Bo Lifen disappear into the distance, heading for a beeline towards her great-grandmother's house. He didn't think that this would happen, but it was a fortunate event. He rubbed his chin, "I don't even remember reading this achievement when I checked the page."

"...Are you proud that you're able to make a woman like her become so confused that she had to run away?" The Panda hovered above his shoulder. "Because if you are—I'm both disgusted and impressed. Would have assumed that you'd get this with Ying Yue He and not her."

He scratched the back of his head and headed back to his house. "It wasn't my intention to confuse her, I simply said yes to her offer. It would be a great chance to collect Yin Qi again and perhaps finish the requirements given by the System." What would he get when he collected the necessary amount?

The CEO expected some reward for doing so.

"Don't give me that bull crap excuse again—she was hot for you, isn't that right? Even when she's not a target by the System." the Panda rolled its eyes. It crossed its grubby arms. "You didn't want to strip for the heavens, but you made out with her yesterday. Go figures you'd do something like that to annoy the heavens, but damn folks are… argh."

It was too frustrated to even say a word or had decided that it was far too much for him to hear. Either way, it was an opportunity for him to gather clues about the world that was far above him. Information he would store away for the future.

"I think it's a little different from what you're trying to imply." Li Yang stepped into the house and was glad he couldn't smell any weird pungent of sex right now—a telltale sign if his brother and the older woman were doing it in the living room. He instead walked towards the kitchen and finally said."The difference between the two is desire as you said, one is forced and the other simply came to be. At least, I think I would not suffer myself in such a situation that's close to selling my body."

"You humans are always so confusing."

"I suppose it is difficult for a Panda to comprehend," he said and didn't meet its eyes. He bit back a smile and waited for the inevitable.

The creature fumed, "For the last time, will you get it through your thick headed skull that I'm not a Panda? You are so infuriating when you want to be—woah, nice peach. It's plump."

The two of them would come across a certain sight in the kitchen, the fridge was open and a good portion of its contents were raided. Taiga was bent over and perusing the fridge, her butt sticking out. 

"If that's not a sign, I don't know what is? Eh?" The Panda glanced at Li Yang. "What do you think? I say you slap it and get it down in the kitchen."

Li Yang wondered if it really was a devil incarnated into a plush and unharmful Panda form. Either way—its temptation tactics were by far a jostle for him to do something interesting. Give the Celestial Heavens a show for them to enjoy with no concern for his own perception.

Perhaps to give in to baser needs.

He would do none of that.

Especially to a person he had barely met.

"... Miss Taiga, did you not like the sandwich and milk?" He cleared his throat and glanced around the kitchen and finally saw the empty plate and glass at the dishwasher. The CEO soon watched her pull back and reveal a white frosted face.

She had a lot of whipped cream on her cheeks.

"Someone definitely tastes sweet, huh?" the Panda waved a paw and motioned to her.

"Taiga found a cake in there! It was delicious." She licked her hand and gave him a toothy smile. "Thanks for the sandwich though, it was slightly burnt, but it was still good."

"You can't even make a proper grilled sandwich?!" The Panda pointed a paw at him and laughed. Before its face turned serious and accusing. "And why did you not tell me that you had cake in here?"

It occurred to the CEO that he had over one mouth to feed—for people that didn't even need to eat to live. He could only rub his forehead for a moment until he said, "I can't even quite remember having a cake in the fridge. Please do not make a mess in the bathroom in any case if your stomach hurts." He then went for his shelves and took out a box of tissue. He offered it to her. "You can have this or wash your face in the sink."

Taiga huffed and accepted the tissue. She began wiping her cheeks. "You're no fun at all."

"I've already heard that far more often than you think." He placed the box on the table and then glanced at her, "However, the scenario is still the same… I did not expect you to look for more food. You could have asked."

"Taiga is unpredictable then."

"Yes, but also rude," He said. "I don't think anybody else would have done this in another person's home. You could have waited at least, or if you weren't able to stop yourself… at least eat with a plate and fork." Li Yang had interacted with a lot of demanding people in the past, but this one would also be notable.

"Can't exactly ask the Bossman when you were busy flirting with that woman—what tea did she bring you, though?" Taiga looked at the thermos in his hand. Somehow unaffected by the scolding as she leaned closer to him and peered into his eyes. "Can Taiga have some? I can smell the wondrous effects."

"You can't return her to Shen Society tonight, can you?" the Panda rolled its eyes. "It's like letting an untrained cat into the house—it thinks that it's a god. I wouldn't want her around unless you can rein her in and train her? That's a kink, right? Discipline her now, 'Bossman'!"

The two of them didn't exactly share the same ideals, but for now, the creature had a point. 

Li Yang gave his bodyguard a look and then rested his hand on her head, "Stay still for a moment, will you?" He could almost imagine doing this to a child, but not to a spirit that was undoubtedly older than him.

… Taiga stopped, and he imagined that if one could have seen her true form that might have held the feline ears—it would have gone to a smoosh or flattened against her head. She gave him a pout but stayed in one place and actually quieted down.

It was far easier than he thought it would be. The CEO expected her to try to bite his hand or call this demeaning, but she paused and it gave him enough of a moment to think and consider what to do. She wasn't a target and just his bodyguard—and though he was usually nonchalant and laid back about things, the way she ransacked his kitchen was still a no-no.

He had been kind to his secretary.

Li Yang didn't think it would do well to be the same to her.
