CEO is Picky but Handsome - Chapter 48

Early the next morning, the VIP waiting room.
Huo Zhun looked at the dawn, and for the 58th time, looked at Ye Ling with a look of “Do you really want to go”.
Ye Ling didn’t bother to pay attention to him. Ever since Ye Ling finished reading Mr. Mo’s information with superhuman speed yesterday and proposed a dozen of solutions for Huo Zhun’s reference, Huo Zhun’s look at him has been maintained in a state of trying to block but unable to find any good reasons to do so.
As a matter of fact, the moment Ye Ling saw Mr. Mo’s information, his own heart was a bit beat up.
Because the information was too little.
Even if Du Xing dug three feet into the ground, he could only find out Mr. Mo’s name, age, current address, and his life trajectory in the last five or six years. The rest, as if it was intentionally covered up, was nothing.
Therefore, Ye Ling can only rely on speculation to figure out his preferences and think about what to impress this old gentleman who lives in a simple house but has a fortune.
“Mr. Huo,” suddenly, the door to the waiting room opens, and Du Xing jogs over to report, “It’s all arranged, you can board the plane now.”
Before Huo Jun has time to react, Ye Ling has already stood up, “Thank you, let’s go.”
Du Xing glances at Huo Zhun in a difficult manner and doesn’t move. Ye Ling, however, was unwilling to wait any longer, he raised his feet to leave, however, just as his body moved, his wrist was grabbed by someone.
“Ye Ling,” finally reaching the moment of separation, Huo Zhun’s heart was filled with mixed feelings, “What I told you, you’ve memorized it, right? When you get there, our people will pick you up. All the clothes and food have been arranged, I also prepared a car for you, in the underground parking lot of the hotel where you live.You tell me the emergency contact’s phone number and address again, I’m afraid you ……”
“I’ve memorized it all.” Ye Ling interrupted him, backhanded him and smiled slightly, “I’m just going out to do something, can you not be so nervous?”
Ye Ling said while glancing at Du Xing beside him, as if he was afraid of Du Xing laughing at him. But how dare Du Xing laugh at him, in fact, Du Xing has the same concerns as Huo Zhun.
In fact, Du Xing has the same concerns as Huo Zhun. At this moment, Ye Ling’s risky behavior is not a wise move. But he has been counted as one of the most capable people around Huo Zhun, and he can’t get this old Mr. Mo by giving up his time and sincerity, and he can’t think of any other way except for Ye Ling to go out and do it.
Huo Zhun understands, so again do not want to give up, or to see him on the plane.
Huo Jun looked deeply into Ye Ling’s eyes and realized that love is different from other feelings. In the past, Ye Ling had been ordered to travel on business, and when he came to report, he mostly answered to indicate that he knew. But once in love, feel separated for a moment are heart-breaking difficult, not to mention Ye Ling this go, do not know when to come back, how many dangers.
His heart was indescribably bulging, he couldn’t help but exert his wrist, pulling Ye Ling into his arms and holding him tightly. Harder, harder, Ye Ling only felt that his waist was going to be broken by him. Then, the man took a deep breath between his neck, as if he wanted to memorize his taste, before letting go of him.
“Ye Ling,” Huo Jun pulls out a velvet box from his pocket and opens it, inside is a dazzling diamond ring, “This, I asked someone to make it when we came back from the island, and I’ve always wanted to give it to you, but I’m afraid of rushing around and annoying you. Now I give it to you, as a promise between the two of us, you wear it and promise that I will come back safe and sound, okay?”
Ye Ling didn’t comment on this, but the light in those eyes flickered, with no intention of refusing. Huo Jun then pulls up his hand and solemnly wears it into his ring finger.
The ring fits perfectly, and I think Huo Jun most likely took advantage of Ye Ling’s inattention to secretly measure the size of his finger. But when exactly was it?
Ye Ling looked at the sparkling star point on his fingertip and decided to come back and ask him again.
Mr. Mo’s full name is Mos Yun, he is seventy-four years old this year, and he lives alone in a high-class community in Ansong City, the capital city of the E country. He had been unmarried all his life and had no children, but due to his generous finances and hardy body, he was not worried about being old and unsupported for the time being. Ye Ling had studied his life trajectory for the past five or six years and found that this old gentleman still lived a life of deep indifference even though he received a large dividend from Phoenix Group every year.
This was one of the reasons why Du Xing could do nothing about him.
Talking in terms of money definitely did not work. Phoenix Group’s annual dividend is equal to the old man’s pension, and now directly buy out the future sunset life at a single price, in case something happens how to do?
Move people with love …… This old man’s life is still water without waves, and he can’t even see which thing he has a particularly strong hobby. Since he had no desire, what was the place to find a breakthrough?
Ye Ling rubbed his temples and picked up another piece of information by his side.
This was a list of Mr. Mo’s daily living events, recorded by Du Xing during the nearly one week that he was in E country to focus on Mr. Mo. As could be seen from the time, Mr. Mo’s daily life was very regular, one could even say stereotypical. He followed a strict schedule like a 16th century gentleman, and everything was carried out carefully.
But there was another fact that made Ye Ling pay attention.
The information recorded that on Thursday, the old man went to a store alone and purchased expensive red wine and tea, in which a certain kind of red wine that he liked very much was out of stock, and he had specially reserved it from the clerk. Du Xing noted the name of the red wine in the information, Ye Ling felt familiar when he first saw it, and when he thought about it carefully, he remembered that this kind of red wine was a kind of expensive red wine originated from F country, due to the scarcity of the production, it has always been priced at a price, no matter it was in the past or in modern times, it is the excellent props used by upstream societies to decorate their guests for banquets.
However, Old Mr. Mo regarded it as an ordinary item to be purchased.
Ye Ling thought, either, this is because Mr. Mo has more money than he can afford to spend, or, it is because Mr. Mo is used to drinking it, and doesn’t feel that this wine is expensive.
At the end of this page of information, Du Xing wrote that when he finally got two bottles of red wine delivered to Mr. Mo’s house after going through a lot of trouble, Mr. Mo did not show how obviously touched or happy he was. On the contrary, he wrote a check to Du Xing at ten times the market price, and calmly said, If you dare to follow me again and pry into what I do, I will directly call the police and say that you threaten my personal safety.
…… It s really oil and salt.
Ye Ling rubbed his eyebrows, and at this exact moment, he heard an unusual muffled sound coming from behind him.
The sound of “thud” was like someone’s fist hitting the seat, or someone stomping their foot hard.
At first, Ye Ling thought that it was just his own hearing. After all, this is Huo Zhun’s private airplane, and there are no outsiders in the cabin other than himself and a few staff members. Who would be so bored to smash the seats or stomp their feet? Immediately afterward, however, the muffled “thud” sounds continue to resonate with a strange frequency.
“Knock”, “Knock”, “Knock”, “Knock”……
Ye Ling couldn’t help but feel furious in his heart and subconsciously looked at the sound. The sound was intermittent, and it was actually coming from the bathroom.
Someone was banging on the door?
Ye Ling remembered that in order to ensure safety, strict security checks were mandated before the airplane took off. Today’s security was even done by Du Xing himself, absolutely foolproof. At the moment, the staff were all in the lounge and he was the only one in the workroom. Unless someone had mixed into the airplane without Du Xing’s knowledge, the situation in front of him could not be explained.
Who had sneaked into the airplane? And why did he expose himself in such a way as banging on the door?
Many mysteries coalesced in Ye Ling’s mind, which in turn called him to calm down. He backhandedly copied the steel thermos beside the desk, and step by step, cautiously approached the bathroom. Inside the door, the man was still banging on the door, the thumping sound unceasing. Ye Ling closed his eyes, moved his body three points toward the door, and fiercely kicked the door!
“Aaah!”
The person in the door was rushing towards the door, and with this push, he rushed straight out, hitting his head on the opposite wall, and all of a sudden he sat down on the floor in pain. Ye Ling was confused as soon as he saw who it was, and the next second, when another figure rushed out, he simply felt that this was the most ridiculous day of his life.
“Huo Xiao Ming, are you alright!” Ye Rui tightly hugs Huo Xiaoming, who has a bag on his head, and painfully blows on his wound, “Does it hurt? Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt, it’s fine.” Huo Xiaoming is still acting like a strong man even though he’s clearly in tears from the pain. He backhanded Ye Rui into his arms, comforting him while patting Ye Rui’s back like a small adult, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid, I’m fine!”
“I’m not so good!” Ye Ling picked up the two children with one hand, “Can you guys explain to me what’s going on?”
Ye Ling has always been gentle, to the two children that is never a sentence of heavy words, at this moment, apparently the fire top to the extreme, that terrible expression is not inferior to the cartoon in the big monster.
The two children were scared and shivered, for a while, Ye Rui only mumbled and asked, “Dad, are you going to elope with Uncle Huo?”
“Huh?” Ye Ling immediately felt a big thunder strike down.
“You told me last …… night that you’re going away, maybe for a long time.” Ye Rui pulled his fingertips and whispered, “Huo Xiao Ming said that you guys are going to elope.”
Ye Ling looks at Huo Xiao Ming with a face full of black lines, and the latter looks at him with a face of certainty, as if to say, “That’s right that’s right, that’s what I think!” .
“Didn’t I entrust you to Uncle Huo’s care? If I were to elope with him, who would take care of you? I can’t elope alone.” Ye Ling bent down.
“So you’re here to examine the elopement site!” Huo Xiaoming jumps anxiously, “Otherwise why would you go all the way to Country E!”
What kind of logic is this ……
Ye Ling had a headache for a while, “Even if I’m going to inspect the location, then what are you guys following me here for? To wreak havoc?”
The two kids nodded in unison.
“Alright, you guys win.” Ye Ling sighed, “I’m going out this time for official business. Huo Xiaoming, your father’s business has encountered a crisis, we need to find the second largest shareholder and have him transfer the shares in his hands to your father to help him consolidate his control over the business. I went to Country E to find the second largest shareholder.”
Compared to Ye Rui’s blank sheet of paper, Huo Xiaoming, as the group’s heir, had been exposed to many things in the mall. Of course he knew that his dad had recently encountered some crisis, but he didn’t understand exactly how big of a crisis it was. Subconsciously, he felt that his father was the most powerful, and could defeat all the bulls and snakes, so he didn’t take this matter seriously at all. Thus at this moment, once Ye Ling said it, he understood it hazily and hesitantly said, “Really?”
“You can ask your father now, there is radio communication on board.” Ye Ling says, “Your dad must be anxious too if he can’t find you.”
Huo Xiaoming is skeptical and follows Ye Ling towards the radio phone machine. When he walks in front of it, he suddenly turns back and asks again, “Are you really not going to elope with my dad?”
“I’m not in that kind of relationship with your dad.” Ye Ling said.
“Forget it then, I won’t ask, I believe you!” Huo Xiaoming takes a step and jumps three feet away from the microphone, as if a moment closer and President Huo’s raging anger will directly slap him twice through the microphone. Huo Xiaoming had learned a saying in the past called those who know what’s good for them are good at what they do, and he felt that he was a good at what they do, so he immediately monkeyed over to Ye Ling and pampered himself, “Uncle Ye, I’m hungry, I want to eat. Rui Rui and I didn’t have breakfast and we’re already starving!”
Ye Ling originally wanted to get angry with them and tell them to realize the seriousness of this matter. But with Huo Xiaoming hanging onto him like this, he suddenly lost his temper, and when he looked at the teary-eyed Ye Rui, his heart was even softer like a piece of cotton candy, so he couldn’t help but let out another sigh and said, “Alright.”
He calls in the staff and tells them to hurry up and prepare some food over. He also personally dialed Huo Jun, telling him that the two children were here, telling him not to worry. The children were lost, and even if they were lost for a while, it appalled Huo Jun so much that he almost didn’t hit the wall.I heard that the children even slipped into the airplane to follow the sky, Huo Zhun was furious, directly on the phone roaring:
“Surely Huo Xiaoming this little brat flirted with! Don’t spoil him! Take off your pants and beat him hard! Ye Ling you don’t feel sorry for the child, this child is just less disciplined, any trouble dares to break! Hit him! Hit him hard! A good beating will teach him a lesson!”
The microphone missed the sound, and Huo Xiaoming heard every word in his ears, scaring him so much that he shivered and couldn’t even swallow his food. Ye Ling looks at him like that and is angry and amused, soothing Huo Jun for a couple of moments, hanging up the phone, turning back and saying, “Let’s see if you still dare in the future.”
Huo Xiaoming looks at Ye Rui in despair, with an expression of dying soon.
Ye Ling couldn’t help but let out a laugh, reaching out and peeling an egg for each of the two children, saying, “How did you sneak in?”
Huo Xiaoming doesn’t say anything, and Ye Rui looks at him and speaks for him.
“We stayed up all night last night, and when we saw you guys get up, we hurriedly hid in the back trunk of the car and followed you to the airport.” For the sake of convenience, Ye’s father and son also borrowed Huo’s house last night, “Huo Xiaoming said that his father would definitely have to arrange for his own plane to send you away, and that he’d flown on that plane many times, was familiar with it, and knew where to hide where he wouldn’t be found, so he brought me to sneak up here.”
“Uncle Duchene usually inspects the plane three times. After the third time, he will report to my father and personally escort him to board the plane. We can use this time to sneak in, and since we’re kids, all no one will notice us.” Huo Xiaoming lowers his head and interjects sullenly, “After coming in, we’ve been hiding in the bathroom. Anyway, the door was closed, so no one would open the door specifically to see. When the plane takes to the sky, no one will rush us down.”
It sounds like a good method, it’s just ……
“Then you guys will be locked in the bathroom?” Ye Ling asked.
“I don’t know who unlocked the bathroom ！！！！” Huo Xiaoming slaps the table and growls, “The plane hasn’t even taken to the sky yet, we don’t dare to make a sound, and with our eyes open, we hear that someone has unlocked the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Pfft!”
Looking at Huo Xiaoming’s little red-faced face, Ye Ling can’t help but laugh out loud. As soon as dad laughs, Ye Rui also laughs. Huo Xiaoming is left headless by this father and son’s laughter, and lowers his head to hatefully eat his eggs.
Before the meal is finished, Ye Rui is already yawning. He hasn’t slept all night, and he’s already sleepy at this point. Ye Ling then told the two children to go to bed. The lounge has prepared a bed, Ye Rui fell asleep as soon as he dipped his pillow, Huo Xiaoming wrapped his arms around him from behind, his face buried deep in Ye Rui’s neck, and in a short while, he was breathing evenly.
Ye Ling leaned over the bed to accompany them, flipping through some of the documents in his hand. I don’t know how much time has passed, but he lowers his head and suddenly meets Huo Xiaoming’s gaze.
That pair of gazes were dry and straightforward, staring at Ye Ling without a moment’s notice, and many things in that gaze were nearly undisguised.
Sure enough, he didn’t sleep.
Ye Ling put down the documents in his hands and lowered his voice: “Actually, you yourself don’t believe that I will elope with your father, right?”
“I saw you kissing my dad.” Huo Xiaoming rolls over and sits up, still with his legs crossed, “Do you love him?”
Ye Ling choked for a split second, then smiled, “Do you understand what love means?”
“I understand, my mom told me.” Huo Xiaoming says, “When I was very young, my mom told me. Love is wanting to be with this person very much, I go wherever he goes, I get anxious when I don’t see him, and when I see him I’m so joyful that I smile. When I love someone very much, I want to hug and kiss him. If kissing him isn’t enough, you’ll want to marry him and have a beautiful child for him. I know, you’re a man, children can’t be born. But what about the others? Do you have anything else?”
Huo Xiaoming’s eyes shone brightly as he looked at him, the child remembering his mother’s words with conviction. Ye Ling reached out and touched his head, asking, “Do you remember about mom?”
“I remember, they think I don’t, but I actually remember a lot.” Huo Xiaoming lowers his head, “Mom was very pretty and very good to me. I remember she used to hug me when I was little and would take me to the dessert store to eat cinnamon soup. Every time I did something wrong, she would cover for me, and I remember one time when dad wanted to beat me, she hugged me and cried and cried and cried, and dad stopped beating me. Then we went to the store together to eat roast goose.”
Ye Ling looks at him tenderly, Huo Xiaoming averts his eyes, suddenly a pang of sourness runs through his heart.
“They didn’t tell me, and I thought that mom really just went far, far away and would come back someday. But then I realized that mom is gone, and I’ll never see her again.” Huo Xiaoming lowers his head, bean-sized tears smashing onto the bedsheets one by one, “I became a child without a mommy, and all I had left was daddy. I don’t like my dad being with someone else, and I don’t want someone else to be my mom! I’ll take good care of my dad, my dad doesn’t need anyone else to take care of him! So I …… I’m going to destroy! Whoever wants to be with my dad, I’ll sabotage him!”
“So you encouraged Rui Rui to follow you here because you want to sabotage?” Ye Ling asked, “But your dad isn’t here, what are you going to destroy?”
“I ……” Huo Xiaoming bites his lower lip, the row of small white teeth biting his lip red and red, “I don’t know. I want to, follow over and talk about it.”
Ye Ling laughed softly.
“I did kiss your father, but we’re not that kind of relationship yet.”
“Why?” Huo Xiaoming is puzzled, “He likes you a lot, don’t you like him?”
“No, I don’t dislike him, I like him a lot.” It’s strange that feelings that were originally difficult to say out loud are said so calmly and smoothly in the face of a child. Ye Ling pulled the corner of his mouth and said softly, “I just …… can’t figure out some things.”
“What things?” Huo Xiaoming asked.
“A lot of things.” Ye Ling furrows her brows, “For example, I’m afraid that I’ll cause a burden to your father, that I’ll make him tie his hands and lose his favorite freedom.”
Compared to Ye Rui, the mode of communication between Ye Ling and Huo Ming is more similar to that of a friend. He had never treated Huo Ming as a ten year old; in fact, the boy was more mature than the adults in some ways. He was willing to communicate with Huo Ming in a more honest way, even if the content of the topic was already beyond Huo Ming’s age. Thus when Huo Ming asked, Ye Ling naturally answered.
“So you must go to Country E?” Huo Ming is indeed a smart child, “You’re afraid that you’ll become a burden to father?”
“That’s just one of the reasons.” Ye Ling patted his furry head, “Also, I want to share your dad’s worries.”
Huo Xiaoming lowers his head and thinks about it, he feels that the feelings between adults is really a bad account, so he decides to just ask the simplest one.
“Then will you stay with my dad?” Huo Xiaoming asks, “If dad doesn’t mind you being a burden to him?”
“It’s not a matter of mediating or not minding, even if he doesn’t mind, I can’t be so capricious. Besides ……” Ye Ling lowers his head, a smile in his eyes, “Do you like me being with your dad?”
“I …… like it, right?” Huo Xiaoming said, “I don’t know, it wasn’t even like this before. My dad is happy with you, and I’m happy to see you staying at my house. I can’t bear to see you go, and I want you to move here.I don’t understand, it never used to be like this ……”
He lowered his eyes, his long lashes casting rows of black shadows underneath them. He seemed to be seriously thinking about many things, and it was as if Ye Ling could see clearly through this furry head to the celestial battle in his head.
After a long, long time, Huo Xiaoming lifted his head and solemnly announced as if he had finally made a major life decision after this deep thought.
“Uncle Ye, let’s make a deal!”
Ye Ling raised his eyebrows, “What?”
“In the future, I’ll hand my father over to you,” Huo Xiaoming swept a glance at Ye Rui by his side, “You hand Rui Rui over to me!”
