My CEO Harem Cultivation System

[ Total Charm Points: 35263 ]

This was all that Li Yang had for himself to use—and truth be told, he wasn't exactly sure what to give a Mermaid. At least someone who was supposed to be in his harem. He hadn't expected for things to get revealed so quickly that he didn't even get the chance to… make her fall in love with him?

Or at least learn of what she desired more and to give it to her.

However, this wasn't so bad. Except for the lack of a 'gift', the CEO had a feeling that she was possibly going to agree if he gave her a good one. It sounded a bit materialistic, but that was all she simply asked for instead of demanding his attention or anything like that.

A burst of chuckles erupted beside him and Bao appeared over his shoulder, "Well, at least she didn't eat your heart out, eh?"

"What?" the CEO raised a brow. He tilted his head at the creature. "I don't have a heart to give, Bao."

The Panda's face became slack, "I know you're trying to be funny—but I actually meant devouring for real. Geez, do you think everything's a metaphor?"

The CEO shrugged in response.

"Are you not freaking out? I just said she consumes hearts—"

"And there are legends that speak of other creatures that devour livers and vampires who suck blood. I do not think she'd do it though if she's living with humans, either way, I do not think one can impose human morality." The CEO frowned slightly and considered his chances of getting a perfect present via the Mystery Box and immediately disregarded it. "What do you think would be a suitable gift—"

"I ain't helping you."

Li Yang sighed inwardly, but thought about other options. The Mermaid seemed to be aware of the Shen Society, so there was that option of them knowing what her kind enjoyed, and yet there was another person he could approach for this in proxy.

It so happened that he could reach out to at least one of them.

. . .

Ying Yue He nearly had a panic attack when she realized that her boss wasn't returning after his excuse of 'going to the bathroom'. Her pulsed race, and she craned her neck back now and then that she didn't even garner much enjoyment when she finally saw the celebrity.

"Woah, there's a lot of you—what's your name, Miss? Want to take a picture?"

She didn't pay attention to any of that.

Instead, the secretary moved to the back of the crowd to avoid trouble and attention. Ying Yue He was stuck in her own train of thoughts. "Had he decided to leave me here?" she asked. There was a trace of worry in her tone, but she shook her head.

Her boss wasn't like that.

Perhaps he didn't want to see the singer Sun Aoyun and thought it was a waste of time, but he wasn't petty to just up and abandon her. Ying Yue He could grasp her boss' personality, and even though the two of them were involved in cultivation—she didn't know how he stumbled upon it—he was still the same dependable Mister Li Yang she knew.

If anything, this situation had simply brought the two of them together!

So where was he now—?

She didn't think she had super senses, but amidst the crowd, she finally saw him. Her boss was approaching another woman—!

A group of women, even!

. . .

"Do you think he'd sign my arm, Lifen?" Her co-worker, Daiyu, pulled down her sleeve to reveal her arm. "I have my marker in my purse."

Bo Lifen raised a brow and then smirked, "Are you planning to get it tattooed?"

"What if I am?"

"Hey, that's a little too much," Suyin said. "I'm just going to get this shirt signed and then I'll auction it—"

"Woah, I'll buy it."

"You guys…"

Bo Lifen had bought tickets for her employees as a reward for working hard. And so she was actually looking forward to meeting Sun Aoyun—until somebody cleared his throat. Bo Lifen glanced automatically, and she wished she didn't.

It was Li Yang.

The woman wanted to avoid the man after what had happened in his car and pretend like it never happened—at least until she finally got over it and be able to look at him straight in the face. But somehow he also happened to be here? Was he some kind of stalker? She didn't want to say that he was, especially because she did see that he came with someone else.

So what was he doing here?

"Miss Lifen?"

"Huh?" Suyin glanced over him. "Woah, it's the one that visited the tea shop."

"Yes, that was me." He inclined his head and greeted the women before looking back at her.

Bo Lifen rubbed the back of her neck, "Is there anything that you need from me?"

"I wanted to get the contact number of your friend Han Jing? I have some queries," he said.

His answer made her look up at him in surprise, before she dug her hand into her pocket and yanked out her phone. If the man wasn't going to make any indications about what had happened, then that was fine with her. She practically shoved her phone in his face, "Here you go."

"Ah, yes, thank you." He took a picture with his phone and then smiled. He nodded briefly, "Thank you for the time, Miss Lifen and my apologies for bothering you and your friends at this hour. I'll leave you be." The CEO didn't take any second longer to turn around and leave her and the others be.

"Now who was that?" Daiyu asked with a smirk. "He visited our shop?"

"To visit Elder Sister Bo Lifen."

"It's because we have our business with one another," She grunted and looked away. "Anyhow, we better squeeze into the crowd if you guys really want to get autographs."

"Woah, she changed the subject."
