Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1494: Chapter 1509: No One Wants to Be the Mouse

”Yes, yes, yes,” Hao nodded repeatedly. ”But Brother Shan, what does Brother really mean by having us watch that little girl? The old man is in Y Country, he can find any girl he wants, why insist on coming to our small place to find such a plain-looking chick? To be honest, I think that girl isn’t even as pretty as our Sister Xiaoyi...”

Before Hao could finish, he got slapped on the head by the man, ”Don’t ask what you shouldn’t, and also, be careful in your actions. Report any situation immediately, that woman’s background isn’t simple, don’t let her notice and ruin Brother’s plans.”

Hao held his head and nodded continuously, ”Hey Brother Shan, I don’t understand. Since we’re not supposed to expose ourselves, why did Brother bid twenty-five million for those two diamond necklaces for that woman during the charity auction? Isn’t he afraid of exposing himself?”

”Do you know the consequences of doubting Brother?” The man lowered his head and took a sip of red wine, the fragrant taste lingered on his tongue as his deep eyes stared at the man beside him with a captivating light.

Hao seemed to remember something and shivered involuntarily, ”No... I don’t dare.”

The man suddenly laughed, ”Look at you being so timid. Have you not figured out Brother’s style after being with me for so long?”

Hao leaned forward, his eyes bright, looking eager to learn.

”Don’t you find it more challenging this way? Everyone loves the cat-and-mouse game, but no one wants to be the mouse.”

The man drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

Hao nodded earnestly, his thoughts churned multiple times, pondering the few words in his mind, he was about to speak a flood of praise but couldn’t come up with a suitable word despite thinking for a long time.

At this moment, a gentle voice penetrated his eardrums, ”Brother Shan, I’m back.”

Then, a waft of fragrance accompanied by a graceful figure flashed before his eyes, and the man suddenly had a warm, soft beauty in his arms.

The man hugged the woman, ”Did you have fun?”

The woman wrapped her slender arms around the man’s neck, smiling and nodding, ”Yes, had fun. Coming back to Nan’an, I feel alive again. The Imperial City is too cold, it’s still the southern weather and conditions that nurture people.”

”It’s good if you’re happy, then we won’t leave anymore, we’ll settle in Nan’an.”

”Really?” Hearing the man’s words, the woman’s eyes showed surprise, but upon seeing the smile in the man’s eyes, she turned away, seeming both angry and playful, ”Brother Shan, you’re teasing me again. In your line of work, how could you stay in one place? Nan’an is such a small city, how could it hold someone as significant as you?”

Hao and the others burst into laughter, ”Sister Xiaoyi is still so easy to fool. Brother Shan, aren’t you worried that letting Sister Xiaoyi open some fashion company will lead to her being deceived?”

”What are you saying! Brother Shan isn’t worried about outsiders cheating Sister Xiaoyi out of money, but about them deceiving her in love.”

The crowd laughed again.

”Hey, what are they doing?” asked Wang Xiaoyi, spotting a few people in the distance.

She had felt something was off when she entered the bar earlier, and now she finally knew what was wrong.

Where were the bar patrons now? At this time of day, the bar should be bustling.

Yet currently, only a few waiters were trembling behind the bar counter, and Brother Shan’s subordinates were surrounding a man who lay on the ground, uncertain if he was dead or alive.
