The resort director saw that Young Master Tianye’s face was dark, so he didn’t dare to linger. He took the phone and left Tianye’s room.
Just after leaving, the resort director wiped the sweat from his face and turned away, returning to the lobby.
Before the director could enter, a security guard ran up and urgently stood in front of him, stammering, “Director, director, the front desk has many people….”
The frustrated director saw his subordinate was so useless and shouted, “What’s the rush?”
Here is the edited article:
The subordinate got up from the ground, aggrieved, “No, it’s not fear. You haven’t seen their lineup. They’re at the front desk. I’ll take you to see.”
The resort director scoffed, “What nonsense, there’s no lineup I haven’t seen.” He knew well that behind him was the Tian clan, and no force in the world would dare to easily make a move against them.
Crossing the lobby, the resort director led more than ten subordinates to the front desk.
Wow, what a lineup.
From the front desk entrance all the way to the roadside, it was full of people, all standing motionless. Everyone had a shaved head, wore sunglasses, and looked strong. The director could see they were all carrying guns.
There were at least three hundred people, and with this equipment, they would completely overwhelm his resort.
He walked up to these people and carefully asked, “May I ask, where is your boss?” The director knew they were challenging him and the Tian clan, which wasn’t a big deal, but he wanted to know whose subordinates they were.
Those people continued standing still, ignoring the director.
After a long while, the boss finally walked out from behind the crowd.
Standing in front of the director, he coldly stared at him without speaking.
The resort director was intimidated by the boss’s demeanor and carefully asked, “May I ask, who are you?
The man shook his neck and said, “Si Kun.” He was Si Kun, Si Xiaoshuang’s father.
The resort director hurriedly bowed, “So it’s Master Si. I didn’t know you were here, please forgive my lack of welcome.” He also knew something about Si Kun’s relationship with the chairman, so he wasn’t as afraid.
Si Kun said, “Go call Si Xiaoshuang and Tianye.”
The director was terrified. Si Xiaoshuang was currently with Hui, and if Si Kun found out, he would definitely destroy the resort.
The director quickly said, “Master Si, please wait. I’ll call them right away.”
Chapter Thirty-Three (1)
At this moment, Si Xiaoshuang and Hui were holding hands, coming out of their residence to go eat. Several security guards ran towards them from the front door. “Miss Si, your father is here, at the front desk.” The guard finished speaking, bent over and catching his breath…
Si Xiaoshuang and Hui heard this and almost went crazy.
With Si Kun’s keen eye, he could see through everything. If he discovered that Si Xiaoshuang was with Hui and not Tianye, the consequences would be severe.
Si Xiaoshuang and Hui stood there in a daze for a moment, then turned and ran towards Tianye’s residence.
At this time, Tianye was still sleeping soundly in his room, completely unaware of the outside world.
The resort director ran over again, standing by Tianye’s bed, calling him softly.
Tianye was trying to turn over and sleep, but was still woken up by this old man. Young Master Tianye was very angry. He sat up and shouted at the resort director, “What are you doing again? Looking to get beaten?”
The resort director stood there with a bitter face, looking at the sleepy Young Master Tianye and softly said, “Young Master, Master Si Kun is here.”
However, Young Master Tianye was still proactive, putting on his clothes and running towards Si Xiaoshuang and Hui. In his view, Si Kun was much more terrifying than the monsters in a haunted house.
Tianye, Si Xiaoshuang, and Hui met halfway between their two residences, lost in questions and contemplation.
The three of them walked together, looking at each other uncertainly.
Tianye spoke first, “Do you all know?
“Then he looked up and down at Si Xiaoshuang and Hui’s attire.
Tianye pointed at Si Xiaoshuang and Hui’s clothes and shouted loudly, “Matching couple outfits? Are you trying to get us killed? Hui, take it off for me.” Tianye was furious at the matching short outfits Si Xiaoshuang and Hui were wearing.
Si Xiaoshuang and Hui finally realized their most serious mistake. Hui took off his top and exchanged it with Tianye.
As they walked in, Si Kun saw Tianye holding his daughter’s hand, which made him very happy. He quickly stood up from his chair and greeted them with a smile.
Si Xiaoshuang hugged Si Kun affectionately, “Dad, you’re here, I missed you so much.”
Si Kun casually responded to his daughter and looked up at Tianye, “How is it going here?”
Tianye looked respectfully at Si Kun and said, “It’s pretty good. Xiaoshuang is well-behaved. I’m sorry we didn’t tell you we were suddenly here. Are you here on vacation?”
Hui, standing behind Tianye, could only lower his head and listen to others talking. His heart was complex, with thoughts of reexamining his own identity and resentment towards Si Kun’s appearance affecting his mood.
Si Kun observed Si Xiaoshuang and Tianye for a while, finding no suspicious signs, and then said relaxedly, “I’m going to Mexico to discuss an oil deal, and I’m passing through here. Would you like to come to Mexico with me?” Si Kun had a unique talent – when he made requests or inquiries, people always felt like it was an irresistible command, unless you had more power than him.
Tianye stood in front of Hui, suddenly patting his shoulder, startling the daydreaming Hui. Tianye laughed and said to Hui, “Don’t worry, it’s nothing, it’s just that we must return to Hong Kong, otherwise Si Uncle’s subordinates might be secretly following and photographing us at any moment.” Tianye’s words meant that Si Xiaoshuang and Hui would now have to switch to underground work, and Tianye himself would have to continue pretending.
Hui nodded, looking at the equally troubled Si Xiaoshuang and laughing, “As long as Young Master and Xiaoshuang are not in trouble, I don’t mind… Haha.”
Hui’s laughter made Tianye and Si Xiaoshuang feel heartache – it was his compromise, his sacrifice, protecting their friendship and love.
For anyone else, this might not be a big deal, but Tianye and Si Xiaoshuang had long considered Hui as a brother and lover. His role would never change because of Si Xiaoshuang’s father, never.
Si Xiaoshuang leaned against the window, no longer speaking, tears flowing down her cheeks, falling to her chin and jawbone, merging and finally congealing. She did not want to distort anything with her actions. She wanted her tears to dry naturally. These dried tears contained all her love. With her actions, she told herself not to betray Hui, never.
Tianye and Si Xiaoshuang, along with Hui, boarded the special plane heading directly to Hong Kong. Entering the cabin, it was still the same empty space, the same empty seats, with Si Xiaoshuang and Hui sitting in the corner where they had initially sat facing each other, only this time with emotions that had passed, embracing and smiling.
Tianye still sat by the window where he could clearly see the cloud tips.
Still those eyes that made people feel intimidated, his white and sturdy arms resting on the table, supporting his chin with its top-tier perfect lines, turning his face away, looking outside.
Lingering, a sorrowful intimacy.
Gradually, beautifully…
Chapter Thirty-Four (1)
Of course, the plane still landed steadily at the Tianzu Airport in Hong Kong. Still so magnificent, so prosperous, making people nostalgic, making people fond, though now somewhat less intimate.
