My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 290: Chapter 0290: He Mengji’s Suggestion (Part Five)_1
 

The next morning, Ye Xiong woke up and the person beside him was already gone.

Because he came back too late last night, by the time he had finished showering, it was almost twelve o’clock.

Ye Xiong didn’t know if Yang Xinyi was not too tired or if she was worried about her father’s illness, but she didn’t show much interest in Ye Xiong’s kisses.

Ye Xiong couldn’t have his way, so he could only hold her and sleep through the night.

In the past, holding a beauty in his sleep would have driven Ye Xiong crazy, but now, he had begun to get used to it.

Or rather, he had started to become numb.

Downstairs, Tang Ning was sitting in the living room, while Yang Xinyi was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.

Chen Xiao and Vermilion Bird were nowhere to be seen early in the morning.

“Where are those two?” Ye Xiong asked Tang Ning.

“Knowing you were back, they didn’t come home at all last night,” Tang Ning said.

“They didn’t come back all night? Where did they go?” Ye Xiong asked curiously.

“You ask me, whom I am going to ask?”

These two, could they really have taken a liking to each other?

Tang Ning, lying on the sofa playing games, wore denim short skirts, and habitually cocked her legs high up, through which one could easily see deep into her thighs.

“No sense of decorum, for a girl,” Ye Xiong reminded her.

“So what if I’m exposed, you’ve seen it all before anyway,” Tang Ning said.

Smack!

A slap landed on her thigh, causing Tang Ning to cry out in pain.

“Cousin-in-law, that hurts!” Tang Ning said, rubbing her thigh and making a face.

“You know it hurts, but do you care about decency?”

After scolding her, Ye Xiong then went over and sat down at the table.

Tang Ning put down her game console, ran over, and asked, “Cousin-in-law, are you going to take me to school today?”

“Sure.”

“Yay, that’s great,” Tang Ning exclaimed happily.

After breakfast, Ye Xiong took Yang Xinyi back to the company, and then he took Tang Ning to school.

On the way, Tang Ning had all ten fingers twisting around each other and her eyeballs rolling, seemingly deep in thought about something.

“What are you thinking about?” Ye Xiong asked curiously.

“Cousin-in-law, I’ve been having trouble lately,” Tang Ning suddenly said.

“What trouble?”

“There’s a classmate at school who keeps chasing me, and it’s driving me crazy. I had no choice but to tell him I have a boyfriend, but he didn’t believe me, unless I show him my boyfriend, so…”

“So you want me to disguise myself as your boyfriend to make him give up?” Ye Xiong asked.

“Cousin-in-law, you’re really smart.”

“It’s not that I’m smart; it’s just that this kind of scenario is what you girls like to use the most.”

“After class today, he will definitely be bothering me again, and you’ll have to help me then,” Tang Ning said.

“Okay then!”

“Yay, cousin-in-law, you’re just the best,” Tang Ning said, hugging Ye Xiong’s arm and exclaiming with joy.

Alas, you can be happy, but every time you get excited, don’t rub your chest against someone’s arm!

Ye Xiong was speechless.

After taking Tang Ning back to school, Ye Xiong originally wanted to go back to the hotel to check on Sister Hua, but He Mengji’s figure popped into his head, and he thought he’d better go see her.

Moreover, he also had some matters to consult with her.

For some reason, whenever Ye Xiong encountered a problem and wanted to consult someone, the first person he thought of was Phoenix, and the second was He Mengji.

Thinking of Phoenix was natural, given that she was his former boss and they had worked together for years, familiar and trusting each other. As for thinking of He Mengji, it was mostly because of her own allure.

She was a member of the Huaxia Think Tank, and whether in terms of EQ or IQ, she was not someone the average person could compare with. With her help, Ye Xiong felt like he would have an extra edge.

After calling He Mengji and learning she was at Fuhua Hotel, Ye Xiong drove there.

Upon arriving at the hotel, Ye Xiong went straight to He Mengji’s office.

At the office door, Thirteen stood like a guard, but upon seeing Ye Xiong, he didn’t stop him and just nodded.

Ye Xiong truly admired the man’s dedication; not many bodyguards take their job as seriously as he did. Couldn’t he just find somewhere to sit and watch from a distance? Didn’t standing around like that get tiring?

“Have you eaten breakfast?” Ye Xiong asked casually.

“Yeah.”

“Go for a walk, relax a bit. Even bodyguards need to rest, right?”

“No need.”

“There are a lot of beautiful waitresses in the hotel.”

“Not interested.”

“By the way, I’ve always had a question I’ve wanted to ask you.” Ye Xiong suddenly said mysteriously.

“What?”

Seeing Ye Xiong get serious all of a sudden, Thirteen thought it must be something important.

“Are you really a virgin?” Ye Xiong whispered.

Thirteen’s face turned green and then red. Then, the corners of his mouth twitched as he seemed to struggle to respond.

The unpredictable changes on his face made Ye Xiong burst out laughing.

Teasing an honest person felt quite good.

“I’m going to the restroom.”

After saying that, Thirteen turned and left.

What a blockhead.

As he pushed the door open, He Mengji was standing inside the room.

In front of her was a large blackboard with a star chart pinned on it. There were thousands upon thousands of tiny stars. At first glance, the multitude of dots flickered, making one’s head spin.

He Mengji was staring intently at it, not blinking an eye until he came in. Then she asked, “Did you tease Thirteen again?”

“I find him amusing, just teasing him a bit,” Ye Xiong said with a smile.

He walked over to the star chart and looked at it, asking, “What’s this?”

“A star chart, it helps with memory training,” He Mengji turned her back to the star chart and said, “Would you please remove a few stars from the star chart? Any at random.”

Ye Xiong went over and plucked four small stars from different parts of the chart.

The stars were about the size of grains of rice. Removing one barely made any difference to the overall chart.

“Are you done?”

“Done.”

He Mengji then turned back around and fixed her gaze on the star chart, squinting her eyes.

Five minutes later, she pointed out the exact locations where Ye Xiong had removed the four stars, without missing a single one.

“Your memory is incredible!” Ye Xiong exclaimed, impressed.

The star chart had at least tens of thousands of stars. To memorize them all, how powerful would one’s brain have to be?

Ye Xiong had only glanced at the star chart and it had made his eyes go blurry.

“It’s all about training,” she replied.

He Mengji walked over to her desk and sat down before saying, “I heard you went on a trip recently. When did you get back?”

“Got back last night. Came to see you first thing in the morning. How about that, am I a loyal friend or what?” Ye Xiong looked at her and smiled.

He Mengji was the kind of woman who grew more attractive the more you looked at her. Not exactly beautiful but still charming enough that Ye Xiong couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

“Don’t compare me with those lovesick women of yours. I’m not buying it. So tell me, what do you want today?” He Mengji saw right through Ye Xiong’s ulterior motives.

“Smart women are trouble!” Ye Xiong sighed and said helplessly, “I came here today to visit you, but yes, I also have something I need to discuss with you.”

Then, Ye Xiong explained the grudge between Long Tianya and himself, as well as his current situation, without omitting a word.

He also mentioned that Li Chunpeng and Long Lan could seek revenge on him at any time.

He Mengji had nearly died trying to kill the Skeleton and could absolutely be trusted.

Moreover, her mind worked better than most people’s. At times like this, she could probably offer him good advice, which was the most important reason he came to He Mengji.

“Do you know what you need to do the most right now?” He Mengji asked after listening.

“Defend or attack?”

“Neither.”

He Mengji shook her head, then said, “What you need to do now is to establish your own power organization. Only then can you face all the dangers that may come, and only then will you have the qualification to fight against the Beast Organization.”
