[Morning of the Day]
Yang Chen groggyly opened his eyes and clasped his head, from the headache he was having now. He then suddenly felt an extra burden over his chest, so he looked down.
Yang Chen was surprised to see Ruoxi sleeping on her chest while slightly drooling, making her look cute.
Ruoxi felt a sudden movement, slowly opening her eyes and sitting on the bed. He then wiped his saliva on the side of his face with his sleeves before releasing the stifled yawns.
Ruoxi then looked at Yang Chen's shocked face and became confused. 'Why is Yang Chen in my room ... WAIT UP! YANG CHEN IN MY ROOM !!! '
Ruoxi quickly got off the bed and pointed at Yang Chen while her entire body started to tremble.
"Why are you in my room ?!" Ruoxi shouted at Yang Chen while her eyes slowly started to turn red as she was about to start crying.
Yang Chen heard Ruoxi's screams continue to hold her head as her headache started to worsen.
"Please be a little quieter."
"My answer!"
Yang Chen looked at Ruoxi with a flat face and said, "Look around first, then you will get your answer."
Ruoxi was still upset but still decided to take a look. 'uh? This isn't my room. Why am I here?'
Ruoxi then widened her eyes as she recalled what happened last night and her face flushed red. His entire face was as red as a tomato at this moment.
"If we ask you a question, then let me ask, why are you sleeping here?" Yang Chen asked confusedly.
Ruoxi did not know how to answer Yang Chen's question and started racking her brain about what to explain. He then suddenly thought of the most logical solution to do, in this situation.
Ruoxi suddenly ran out of the room at an incredible speed like a cute rabbit while blushing, not choosing to answer Yang Chen and escape.
Yang Chen was quite confused as to why Ruoxi left but did not decide to pursue the matter. He then healed his headache, as he would not endure this pain.
He then started to recall yesterday's matter with Jingjing and smiled bitterly.
"Huh .. I need to apologize to Jingjing, the next time I see her. Drinking is the dumbest idea I can think of."
Yang Chen then got up from his bed and took a quick shower before changing into casual clothes and heading down.
When Yang Chen managed to get down, he only saw Wang Ma but could not see Ruoxi anywhere and asked puzzledly.
"Good morning, Wang Ma, by the way where is Ruoxi?"
"Oh, good morning Young Master, Young Miss has already left for work, she is not even waiting for breakfast anymore. Sigh .. The girl sometimes won't listen." Wang Ma replied while shaking his head.
Yang Chen smiled tiredly when he could think of the reason, why Ruoxi left early for work.
"Young Master, I know I keep asking you to send food to Young Miss but can you ..."
Yang Chen smiled and said before he could finish, "It's okay Wang Ma and sure I will deliver Ruoxi's lunch."
Wang Ma happily smiled before going to serve Yang Chen breakfast.
When Yang Chen finished breakfast, he headed to his car with his lunch box, Wang Ma had just given him.

(Yu Lei)
Yang Chen was in front of Ruoxi's office and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Ruoxi was busy working on the administrative affairs ..well she was trying but could not maintain her focus as she kept on remembering this morning. 'I can't believe that I slept in the same bed with him ... what am I going to do now ?! Should I apologize or I make her apologize .. ahh! Ruoxi you are so stupid! '
Ruoxi did not even realize Yang Chen had already entered the room because she was too distracted with her thoughts.
"Ruoxi, you're there." Yang Chen said, breaking his mind.
"Yang Chen! Why are you here?" Ruoxi was surprised that Yang Chen was entering her office.
"You forgot to eat breakfast again .. You know, I thought we talked about it, not making Wang Ma worry too much about your health." Yang Chen said calmly but Ruoxi misinterpreted that she was crazy.
Ruoxi made a guilty face and said in a low voice, "I know .. but sometimes I get stuck with other things." Ruoxi's voice continued to decline during the end.
Yang Chen shook his head before smiling and putting the food on Ruoxi's table.
"Just don't keep doing this, okay .. 'cause I'm worried too."
Ruoxi did not respond because in her mind you could only hear Yang Chen's words repeated in her head. 'I am also worried, I am also worried ...'
Ruoxi's heart started to beat fast while blushing in confusion.
"Well, I think I should go now." Yang Chen said breaking Ruoxi apart in a daze.
Ruoxi continued to stare at Yang Chen's back as she left her office. You can't tell what he's thinking right now, but maybe it has something to do with the happy smile on his face.
-----
Yang Chen was walking down the hallway to head to the elevator but stopped in his tracks when Mo Qianni was walking towards him.
Mo Qianni looked depressed so she did not notice which direction she was walking.
"You're gonna stumble and fall, you know."
"Huh?"
Mo Qianni became startled and misplaced her steps which would make her fall in front of Yang Chen. But before he could fall, Yang Chen caught it by putting his hand on his waist and stabilizing it.
(AN: 😐)
Mo Qianni finally regained her awareness of the situation, blushing in embarrassment.
"Get your hands off!" Mo Qianni shouted furiously while still blushing.
Yang Chen removed his hand from his waist and said, "Sama-sama" before heading towards the elevator.
Mo Qianni gnashed her teeth before she remembered the reason she was so depressed. He then looked at Yang Chen's back and had and idea.
"Wait!"
Yang Chen turned around and replied, "Yes?"
"Do you know martial arts?" Mo Qianni asked with a hopeful look.
"Yes, right, why are you asking?" Yang Chen replied in confusion.
Mo Qianni was a little pleased but still asked with a hopeful look.
"Can you ... help me with something?"
Yang Chen crossed his arms and said with a straight face.
"And why would I do that?"
Mo Qianni was a bit disappointed but still decided to try again but this time with more effort.
"Please, can you help me?"
Yang Chen looked at Mo Qianni's pitiful face, sighed and said, "Huh .. alright, what do I need to help?"
Mo Qianni was now beaming happily but made her calm down and said, "I need to raise some money from a non-paying company and I need someone who knows martial arts if things go south.
Yang Chen nodded and said, "Lead the way."
The two of them headed to Mo Qianni's car which was a red Audi A4.
-----
While on the way, Mo Qianni suddenly said, "My name is Mo Qianni."
"Yang Chen."
After they exchanged their names, the rest of the journey was endlessly quiet.
15 minutes later, the two reached their destination which was an old office building.
When the two of them entered the building, they headed to the beautifully dressed receptionist who gave a dull look.
When the receptionist saw Yang Chen she gave a dazzling smile but when she saw Mo Qianni, the receptionist let out a frown because Mo Qianni was much prettier than her.
Mo Qianni did not bother to make small talk.
"We're from Yu Lei and we're here to raise funds from a business deal."
The reception glared at Mo Qianni before she smiled strangely and said as she moved towards the bad elevator.
"It's like this."
The two of them followed the receptionist to the elevator and headed upstairs.
When the elevator door opened, Mo Qianni pursed her cute nose from the scent of the incoming smoke. The floor was filled with all kinds of paper, beer bottles on the ground, and cigarette buds everywhere. Male workers are playing cards on a large table while women who dress very conspicuously, stick with men, but, let themselves be touched anywhere on their body with a smile on their face. You could say this is a place where gangsters usually gather and gamble.
When the men saw Mo Qianni's beautiful figure, they couldn't take their eyes off her. The women, on the other hand, gave Mo Qianni a hateful look as she stole all the attention from the men.
*whistle*
"Hey girly, how about you have a drink with us."
"Yes, we promise, you'll have the time of your life with us, hehe licked lips .
"Who according to*******that she gulp just because she's a little more, prettier than us, she acts all high and mighty."
Mo Qianni did not respond and just put on a cold face but inside she slowly started to feel fear because there were many people here and she just brought Yang Chen with her. Yang Chen, on the other hand, had an indifferent face and remained calm.
Suddenly the office door opened from the back of the room and a man in clothes that came from an expensive brand came out.
"About all the commotion, brother." The man said puzzledly before he looked at Mo Qianni and his eyes showed a predatory look with lust in them.
"My name is Guo Ziheng, how can I help this beautiful woman here." Guo Ziheng said with a polite action.
"They're from Yu Lei and they're here to collect his debt." Said the receptionist who came with Mo Qianni and Yang Chen, smiling playfully.
As soon as everyone heard this, they laughed.
"Hahaha, so they sent another one from Yu Lei and this time, it's a beautiful girl, we must be lucky!" Shouted a bald big muscle man as he licked his lips while staring at Mo Qianni's body.
Guo Ziheng heard this became even more excited while his lust grew bigger.
"The beautiful woman forgets all her debts and comes and drinks." Guo Ziheng said this time as he walked towards Mo Qianni, not hiding his evil intentions.
Guo Ziheng was surprised when he saw Yang Chen because he only paid attention to Mo Qianni because of her beauty.
"Young man, you know, nothing will change even if you try to act like a hero." Guo Ziheng said while frowning.
"Yang Chen what are you doing ?! We gotta get out of here." Mo Qianni said in a low voice. Although he disliked Yang Chen, it was because he was the one who was tied up in this mess.
"Do you really believe, they'll just let us go freely." Yang Chen replied nonchalantly, making Mo Qianni bite her lips in frustration when that realization hit her.
"Then what should we do ?!"
Yang Chen did not reply and simply continued to look at the crowd of men who had ferocious gazes, waiting to pounce and beat him up.
Gou Ziheng grew impatient saying, "Since you are unwilling to stop this stupid act, you will die here. Baldy, you're up."
The big bald muscular man from before was walking towards Yang Chen with a cruel smile.
Mo Qianni heard Yang Chen was about to get killed and saw the muscular man approaching they started to feel fear and she subconsciously held onto Yang Chen's clothes tightly because she was so scared right now.
Baldy will do a straight punch like an idiot because he believes his strength is superior.
"Take this!" Shouted Baldy.
Yang Chen simply raised his arm, intending to catch Baldy's fist, making everyone start laughing at him.
"Hahaha, he probably thinks he's a superhero with red robes and letters" S "on his chest!"
"Stupid it's not" S ", this ..."
But before he could finish what he said, he became shocked and so did everyone on what they had just witnessed. Yang Chen actually caught Baldy's fist with his bare hands!
Yang Chen then began to put pressure on his grip making him scream in pain.
"Argh! ******** release!" Baldy screamed in pain as he used both of his hands to try and escape from Yang Chen's clutches.
Yang Chen did not respond and exerted more pressure on his grip until you could hear the sound.
*Crack*
"Azhghh !!!" Baldy fell to the ground while holding his broken hand.
Yang Chen then kicked his stomach like a ball.
* Bam *
Baldy hit the wall before vomiting a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Quiescent. No one chose to say anything, they could not say anything after what they had just watched.
Guo Ziheng was startled before he turned serious and took off his upper clothes, revealing his muscles.
The crowd that had just come out of their shock when they saw Guo Ziheng being half-naked, started cheering loudly.
"Boss, you got this!"
Guo Ziheng grinned as he acted arrogant and sneered, "You may have taken that stupid muscle head but don't compare me to him."
Yang Chen suddenly felt enough and used his True Qi to pressure him to kneel.
Guo Ziheng who was about to charge at Yang Chen to attack, when he suddenly felt a huge pressure on his back, making him kneel down instantly. He was having trouble breathing with this pressure, it felt like the countless large stones we have today left him unable to get back up. Of course, Yang Chen barely used True Qi because Guo Ziheng was not even a cultivator.
Everyone was at a loss as to why Guo Ziheng started kneeling in front of Yang Chen.
"Boss, what are you doing ?! Wake back!" The crowd shouted at Guo Ziheng.
Yang Chen turned to look at Mo Qianni and said, "Follow." before walking over to Guo Ziheng who was kneeling.
Yang Chen then grabbed Guo Ziheng's hair and started dragging him like a dog all the way to his office. Guo Ziheng tried to squirm but the pressure was not possible. Mo Qianni followed as she stared strangely at Yang Chen.
"Hey, where, you go with our boss, brother go after ..."
But before the crowd could finish, Yang Chen stared at all of them, making them stop in their tracks. It only took one gaze from Yang Chen for all of them to shut up and move away from fear.
When Yang Chen brought Guo Ziheng into the room, he threw him onto the floor without mercy in the world and stopped suppressing him with his True Qi.
Guo Ziheng did not feel the terrifying pressure again starting to pant.
Yang Chen turned to Mo Qianni and asked, "How much does she owe?"
Mo Qianni was puzzled at Yang Chen's question before she remembered the entire reason they had come to this trash can.
"400.000."
Yang Chen nodded, "Alright now, go and wait in the bathroom for a bit before I call you."
"Huh? Why would I do that ?!" Mo Qianni asked angrily.
"Don't ask and go!" Yang Chen shouted out loudly.
Mo Qianni became a little afraid of Yang Chen's sudden cry and ended up going to the bathroom but not before giving her a final look.
When Mo Qianni left, Yang Chen secretly made a sound barrier. He then looked at Guo Ziheng who had just stabilized his breathing.
"You hear me, now pay the debt."
"I won't give you the money!" Shouted Guo Ziheng firmly as he stared straight into Yang Chen's eyes.
Yang Chen closed his left eye and put both of his hands into his pocket.
"Custom yourself."
Suddenly Yang Chen opened his left eye and you could see a red glowing bird-shaped symbol. This symbol is called Geass.
"I, Hades, command you, obey me!"
Guo Ziheng trembled in fear when he saw Yang Chen's eyes change but when he heard the words of authorization, he was confused before something happened inside his brain.
Guo Ziheng then got up and saluted each of them. You can see his eyes changing as well, making his pupils glow red.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"You're gonna pay off your debt."
"Yes!"
Guo Ziheng then wrote a check with the correct amount and handed it to Yang Chen.
"Good, now get rid of yourself."
Guo Ziheng then proceeded to punch himself and flop himself.
(AN: He will never remember being brainwashed and seeing Geass.)
(AN 2: Code Geass: "The power of absolute obedience.")
Yang Chen then moved Guo Ziheng's unconscious body into the closet and deactivated his Geass along with the sound barrier.
"You can get out now."
Mo Qianni came out of the bathroom and looked at Yang Chen.
"Here.", Yang Chen said as he handed the cheque to Mo Qianni.
Mo Qianni was surprised that Yang Chen actually managed to collect the debt.
"W-How .. do you do it and where is the man?" Mo Qianni asked puzzledly while looking around.
Yang Chen grinned and replied, "Easy, I just told him to pay and he did, he then ran away."
Mo Qianni could not believe her words turned her head and crossed her arms.
"Hmmm!"
"All right, let's go now." Yang Chen said he wanted to leave this place.
Mo Qianni nodded and followed Yang Chen outside the room.
As they walked through the floor, Mo Qianni stuck close to Yang Chen because she was still afraid that these people would attack them. The crowd did not even try to get close to Yang Chen, they only gave way for him because they still felt fear from the previous incident.
The two of them left the building and got into Mo Qianni's car.
While they were on their way back to Yu Lei, Mo Qianni suddenly said with a grateful smile, "Hey, Yang Chen."
"No problem, Miss Mo."
"Qianni's fine." Mo Qianni said because she did not want to be called Mo at all times.
Yang Chen nodded.
The rest of the car drive is spent in a comfortable silence.
When they managed to return to Yu Lei, Yang Chen would head to his car.
"Well Qianni, I'll see you." Yang Chen said goodbye to Mo Qianni.
"Wait, Yang Chen!"
"Yes?"
"Are you busy ... today?" Qianni asked with a red hue on her face.
Yang Chen thought for a while and replied, "No."
"I want to pay back so .. how about I buy you some food," Qianni said in a small voice towards the end.
"certain."
Qianni was a little happy that she did not reject the invitation.
"Okay, let's exchange numbers and I'll send you the address."
Yang Chen nodded and the two of them exchanged numbers before they said goodbye to each other since Mo Qianni was still working.
(AN: Forced, I know. By the way, the MC will not accept a new lover before he confronts Ruoxi about Rose, but it may take some time because the MC has not fallen for her while Ruoxi slowly begins to fall for her. .)
