Chapter 6

Click-clack, flash!

Cameras flashed nearby. Liu Xiong’s eight bodyguards, who had been standing aside watching the drama unfold, immediately swarmed in and surrounded us.

Liu Xiong also snapped back to his senses. He scrambled to his feet, scanned the surroundings, and excitedly grabbed my arm.

“Master Qiao, let’s talk about this back at my place.”

A bodyguard asked, “Back to the hotel?”

Liu Xiong glared at him.

“The hell with the hotel! How can Master Qiao stay in a hotel? We’re going to my house. Go and get Master Qiao’s luggage right now.”

On the way to Liu Xiong’s home, he stuck by my side, practically trying to glue himself to me.

“Master Qiao, that thing you did just now… can you do it to me again?”

I responded by throwing a direct punch into his stomach.

“Argh!”

Liu Xiong let out a pained cry, clutching his gut, before looking up with a dazed expression.

“Master Qiao, did you miss? I didn’t get that same feeling this time.”

I shook out my hand and gave him a look of pure disgust.

“It’s too hot. Get away from me.”

Liu Xiong’s home was in Deep Water Bay. The location was nestled between mountains and water, with low hills on either side forming a ‘Double Gold Wealth-Gathering Formation.’ It was a rare Feng Shui Treasure Land.

Once we arrived at his luxury villa, Liu Xiong went out of his way to clear out the room next to his master bedroom for me. After settling in, I lay on a three-meter-wide bed, admiring the ocean view while flipping on the television.

Liu Xiong’s face immediately filled the screen.

“The wealthiest man, Liu Xiong, proposes on his knees in a hotel lobby! Who is this mysterious woman? Welcome to tonight’s edition of Gossip at 9:30-”

The footage was shaky as it broadcast the scene of Liu Xiong and me at the hotel, overlaid with gaudy, colorful captions.

“As you can see, the two left together in a car heading toward Liu Xiong’s luxury villa in Deep Water Bay. As everyone knows, Liu Xiong rarely brings women back to his private residence. The last person to receive such an honor was the A-list actress, Li Yingying. We now go live to our reporter connecting with Li Yingying, blah blah blah…”

What a load of nonsense. They really knew how to spin a yarn. I shook my head and sighed, turning off the TV.
