Chapter 1144: Chapter 188: The Guest’s Request
“Tea!”
In the living room, Luo Pianqian brought two freshly brewed cups of hot tea to Luo Qiu and Nero — at the entrance of the living room, Ghost Baby was still leaning against the wall.
Unlike Luo Pianqian, who was pletely unguarded, Ghost Baby was on full alert.
“Are you making something to eat?” Luo Qiu picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then smiled at Luo Pianqian and asked.
The reason was simple. When he opened the door, this little guy was wearing an apron, busy running out, and there was something resembling flour on his face.
The boss pointed to his own cheek, and only then did Luo Pianqian react. He quickly wiped his face with both hands, “I’m making cake!”
“Cake?”
The little butterfly monster nodded, “Last time at the boss’s house, Sister You Ye taught me how to make cake. She said desserts can make people feel good. When I usually eat sweet things, I feel very happy too!”
“That’s your instinct.” Luo Qiu chuckled.
The little butterfly monster blushed and smiled… Ms. Nero silently sipped tea beside them, her eyes twinkling as she looked back and forth between the girl in the apron and the boss, her eyes slowly forming crescent moons.
Seeing ghosts, it’s rare to see the boss smile at outsiders, and in such a relaxed manner too.
“Is someone feeling down?” Luo Qiu suddenly asked.
“Well! Sister Long…” Luo Pianqian, who basically had no defense against the boss, nodded and was about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Ghost Baby, leaning against the wall behind, suddenly coughed twice.
Luo Pianqian immediately pursed his lips tightly… but who was the boss? He couldn’t have missed half a sentence of this conversation.
“How’s Ms. Long?”
“Sister Long… she’s… she’s… asleep! Not, not unhappy!”
“Are you hot?”
“No…”
“You’re sweating so much… your body can actually relax a bit, it’s too tense.”
The little butterfly monster… Luo Pianqian slowly turned her head, her eyes seemingly misty, looking towards Ghost Baby.
Ghost Baby was expressionless at this moment, coldly said, “Lord Long isn’t here. If you’re looking for her, you can leave. If you have anything to tell her, leave a message and I’ll pass it on later. We don’t entertain strangers here.”
Ms. Nero stood up at this moment, squinted, and a chilling killing intent began to permeate the living room… Ghost Baby frowned, this level of killing intent couldn’t help but make him react.
This level of killing intent was enough to instantly panic the little butterfly monster. She looked left and right, ultimately with a worried expression turning to the boss for help.
“It’s okay,” Luo Qiu said softly, “Is your cake ready? If it is, could you please let me and my panion try it?”
“Yes, yes! I’ll go get it right away!” Luo Pianqian nodded like a pecking chicken.
The thick killing intent suddenly cleared, Ms. Nero sat down carelessly, laughing, “Refill ~”
Watching Luo Pianqian walk away with her head down, Ghost Baby secretly let out a breath and took a deep breath again. His hands instantly lowered, and two peculiar daggers appeared in his hands.
“I didn’t mean to send Pianqian away, I really plan to taste it. I quite like this child, watching her grow bit by bit is quite interesting… getting off track.” Luo Qiu said calmly, “Actually, I didn’t mean to fight with you either… Mr. Ghost Baby, haven’t you thought why Ms. Su Zijun asked Ms. Long to stay in the room downstairs?”
“What do you mean?” Ghost Baby furrowed his brow but was inwardly shocked — did this person know everything?
“With so much going on outside, publicly and privately, Mr. Ghost Baby, don’t you feel that doing this is quite unreasonable?” Luo Qiu looked at Ghost Baby, slightly smiled.
“Is it… Sister asked you to e?” Ghost Baby looked at Luo Qiu suspiciously.
“I won’t disturb you for too long.” Luo Qiu stood up and walked out of the living room… he passed by Ghost Baby and walked out the door.
“Hey, boss, where are you going?” Just happened to meet the little butterfly ing back with food, “You’re not eating?”
Luo Qiu took a portion of the cut cake from the tray, “I’ll be back soon. Can you help entertain my panion for me?”
“Oh… okay.” The little butterfly monster nodded.
Luo Qiu walked towards the end of the corridor.
It was a bit strange, but Luo Pianqian still habitually walked into the living room with the food — only to see Ghost Baby now standing at the entrance to the living room.
He wasn’t leaning against the wall anymore.
“Mr. Ghost Baby, what’s wrong with you?”
“I… can’t move.” Ghost Baby’s eyes were filled with horror.
Luo Pianqian was taken aback, but suddenly felt a weight on her shoulder, then felt something grip her chest, frightening the little butterfly monster to let out a sharp “Tweet” sound.
“Indeed, quite substantial…” Only to hear Ms. Nero patting the little butterfly monster’s shoulder, blowing hot breath in her ear and laughing, “Ah, the boss asked you to entertain me~”
…
The sound of knocking.
“Ms. Long, may I e in?”
In the basement room, Long Xiruo, who suddenly heard a sound, furrowed her brows… thought she was hallucinating — but the possibility of her hallucinating was nearly non-existent.
This guy… how did he e?!
But before Long Xiruo could think about how to react, the door was already open, and Luo Qiu’s familiar face instantly collided with Long Xiruo’s line of sight.
In an instant, Long Xiruo kicked her legs — the door was open, and the first thing she thought of was to leave this place.
Unexpectedly, when she rushed past Luo Qiu and out the door, she hit something soft, and her body suddenly stopped… China’s Little True Dragon turned angrily, “What do you mean!”
Luo Qiu looked at the room… everything here was a mess, basically nowhere intact, everything had been smashed.
Without answering Long Xiruo’s question, Luo Qiu walked into the room, reached out, and restored the fallen chair and tea table to their original state. After this, he placed the plate with the small fork holding cake on the tea table, “Pianqian said you were unhappy and wanted to make some dessert to cheer you up. Ms. Long, won’t you eat?”
“Heh.” Long Xiruo sneered, “It’s quite an honor, really. How did I deserve to have Mr. Luo, the big boss, personally bring me food at my doorstep?”
“That child, she’s really worried about you.” Luo Qiu said softly, “Guess she wasn’t very skilled yet, made herself look like a painted cat, even messed up her hair.”
“I warn you, you’d better not lay a finger on Pianqian!”
“Ms. Long, quite frankly,” Luo Qiu turned around, “do you have the ability to resist right now? It seems like all you can do now is smash the things in this room.”
Her hands formed fists beneath her, lightly trembling — clearly not out of fear, but due to inner unrest.
But she soon released her fists, raised her hand, and sneered, “Unexpected, Mr. Luo the big boss, seems you have a way with harsh words too? I thought, you’re one to wear a mask to the end… what, no one around, showing your true face?”
“The cake, won’t you eat it?” Luo Qiu smiled, suddenly asked.
“You came looking for me, for what?” Long Xiruo stared at Luo Qiu, “To see me like this?”
“Really won’t eat?” Luo Qiu asked again.
“Are you annoyed?”
Luo Qiu sighed, “Then… I’ll begin. I’m sorry, Ms. Long, for the offense that’s about to occur.”
“What?”
Long Xiruo was momentarily stunned, not reacting in time, when she felt something pulling her body, forcing her to walk towards Luo Qiu… As she got closer with every step, the Godly Land’s true dragon felt an unprecedented fear.
“What… what do you want to do?” Getting closer and closer, this face… and the words he’d said… getting closer and closer, “What… what exactly are you trying to do… Let me warn you, don’t think about doing anything rash!!”
However, Luo Qiu remained expressionless, sitting on the chair. At this moment, Long Xiruo had already walked to his side and slowly bent over onto Boss Luo’s lap… Yes, she bent over.
This posture not only made Long Xiruo feel terrified, but also ashamed and furious. She was shocked, furious, and embarrassed, roaring, “You bastard!! What are you trying to do!!”
Pa——!
In an instant, the impact on her buttocks caused Long Xiruo’s pupils to dilate… The world in her eyes seemed to turn black and white.
She only felt the sound of the slap resonating in her mind, like heavenly thunder, nearly shattering all her nerves… Several seconds passed, and she still couldn’t react.
But obviously, the offense being referred to was now clear.
“You… what did you do to me…” Her neck turned with great stiffness, looking at Luo Qiu’s profile, shock was overshadowed by disbelief and a blank stare.
But what she saw was Boss’s gaze, cold to the extreme, and his hand which had been raised and fell again… The hand, once again aiming to strike the same spot.
“No… don’t!!!”
Pa——!!
Another crisp, clear slap sound.
“Bastard, you jerk, I will kill you!! I’m going to kill you!! I’ll kill you!!! Ah!!!!”
Three strikes down!
“Bastard!!!”
The fourth strike falls…
…
Luo Pianqian thoughtfully raised her head, having a feeling she’d heard some strange noise.
“Don’t stop, now, this level of service wouldn’t do, little sister~~”
“I’m sorry!”
Hearing Nero’s voice, the lady with butterfly wings promptly started massaging her shoulders again… thinking that it was something difficult. If it was just this, then it was nothing.
At the pet hospital, she often massaged the shoulders and backs of those waiting, “Ms. Nero, is the pressure okay?”
Nero leaned against the lady with butterfly wings’ chest, squinting her eyes, giving a thumbs up, “Excellent!!”
“As long as you like it.”
She stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth, swallowing it down in just a few bites, “Are you worried about your dragon sister?”
“Did Boss go to find Sister Long?” Luo Pianqian paused her hands.
“Why, do you want to end up like that one, being punished to stand?” Nero glanced at Ghost Baby at the living room door, “I’m afraid if you stand for too long, it might not be good for your waist, little sister.”
But Luo Pianqian shook her head, solemnly saying, “I know, if Boss wants to do something, no one can stop it… not even Sister Long can do anything about it.”
“Oh, I see, you’re afraid that my boss will do something bad to your dragon sister, aren’t you?” Nero chuckled, “Let me tell you, my boss really likes doing all kinds of things to girls~”
“Boss is not that kind of person!!”
Soft as cream, the lady with butterfly wings in an instant unusually turned firm, her heavy tone left Nero a bit stunned. She tilted her head up, looking at the chin of the lady with butterfly wings.
“Really! Boss is very nice to people; he would never do bad things to anyone!!”
Nero sneered, “Are you so sure? Can you see everything he does? Perhaps he only shows you what you wish to see, while in essence, he’s a devil in human skin?”
“Don’t you dare talk about Boss like that!! If you keep saying that, I, I will, I will…”
“Hmm?” Nero blinked unflinchingly, “What will you do?”
“I… I…” Luo Pianqian closed her eyes, tightening her fists, blushing, “I’ll get angry!!”
“Pfft… hahaha!!!” Nero clutched her belly, kicking her legs in laughter on the sofa, her eyes nearly squeezing out tears.
“What are you laughing at, I… I’m being serious!!”
“Alright, alright, I won’t say anymore.” Nero restrained her laughter, “Besides, I’m afraid if I go back, I might never leave again; at home, there really is a devil.”
Luo Pianqian blinked, indicating she didn’t understand.
Nero shook her head, picking up the last piece of cake, ready to take a bite, “Boss might actually be a good person…”
“Hey!! That’s the last piece, it’s for the boss!”
The cake raised to her lips halted, as she looked at the anxious, blushing little butterfly, mumbling, “I’m starting to understand why Boss likes you so much.”
“Eh?”
Nero chuckled, and right in front of Luo Pianqian, in two bites, she ate the final piece of cake, revealing a smile only a mischievous child would have.
…
Pa——!
She couldn’t even remember how many times it had been now.
In this hidden basement, only the almost identical in intervals and intensity sounds of the slaps rang out.
The Godly Land’s true dragon had gone from cursing initially—she couldn’t resist, her body wouldn’t move—to silence… until now, her eyes were hollow.
Finally, Boss’s hand stopped—at least breaking the previous interval’s timing.
This caused Long Xiruo to mechanically and slowly lift her head—at this moment, a mirror appeared before her, and in the mirror, the reflection of the current scene was evident.
Her appearance, her humiliating posture of being slapped, the man in the mirror was staring at her in the mirror.
“What can you do?” Luo Qiu asked slowly.
His palm was raised once more, the mirror showing this motion as if in slow motion, clearly visible to her.
This time, he said, “You can’t do anything.”
The sound of speaking and the sound of the slap overlapped one another.
