Venerable Demon King & The Doting Immortal (QT) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223: Turned into a smurf

Han Xin remained silent, listening to Xiang Yu’s footsteps retreat. He waited until the silence confirmed that Xiang Yu had given up before walking to the chaise.

Han Xin, usually a rigid and disciplined man, lay sprawled on his chaise, slippers still on, staring up at the ceiling with a look of exasperation. He shouldn’t have agreed to let Xiang Yu stay here, but he had. The more Xiang Yu was in his life, the more impulsive, immature, and irritable Han Xin became. His character had deviated so strongly, doing things he would never normally do.

For instance, he openly defied his father just to keep Xiang Yu away from Han Jia. Xiang Yu was his man, so why should he share him with his half-brother? Everything he ever had, Han Jia wanted too, despite being older.

Han Xin rarely showed his claws to his father, but this time he had openly defied him for Xiang Yu. It wasn’t just that. He would constantly get angry when anyone approached Xiang Yu. At first, it was a simple pang in his chest, but now it had grown into a full-blown storm. Han Xin sighed and raised his hand, looking at his thumb before heaving another sigh. The fact that Xiang Yu had bitten him and he hadn’t retaliated by kicking him out was a sign of the power Xiang Yu had on him.

Lost in thought, Han Xin was startled by the ringing of his phone. Seeing it was the head of security, he picked up the call. "What is it?" he asked, his voice edged with irritation.

"Miss Peng is here at the gate. Should I let her in?" the head of security inquired. Han Xin had given strict orders that the seaside villa was on lockdown tonight. No one was to come in. Peng Xiu showing up was unexpected, but the head of security was only following instructions.

"Don’t let her in," Han Xin replied curtly. "Tell her to go back to the Reigh Tower or her apartment." He ended the call, feeling frsustrated.

He didn’t even want to think about how he felt kneeling in front of Xiang Yu’s hard crotch or when he saw Xiang Yu’s naked butt. It was one of the few places on the man’s body that wasn’t inked. He sat up in annoyance deciding to get some work done to rid his mind of Xiang Yu. At this point, he would work himself to death if he had to as long as he stopped thinking of those smooth, fleshy cheeks that looked as juicy as a ripe peach. "Damn," he swore realising what he was thinking. He got up in a hurry heading down to get his laptop and head to his office.

As he descended, he found Xiang Yu still engrossed in a game, chatting animatedly with Little Bai.

"Which bed do you want to sleep in? There are two beds in the room," Little Bai asked, his voice filled with innocent curiosity.

Xiang Yu focused on shooting a character that was acting cute on the screen and stuck his tongue out playfully. "Pick any," he replied nonchalantly.

Han Xin’s voice cut through the room, firm and unyielding. "No Xiang Yu, you are staying upstairs. The room is already prepared."

Little Bai nodded quickly, "Okay," and rushed back to the bedroom, leaving Xiang Yu slightly startled by Han Xin’s sudden presence. Xiang Yu pulled back his headset, a mischievous smile spreading across his face, his canine teeth glinting. "You are back for revenge?" he teased.

Han Xin’s body stiffened at the comment. He grabbed his laptop and hurried towards his office, trying to ignore the persistent thoughts of Xiang Yu. He couldn’t understand why Xiang Yu was so persistent, why he seemed to enjoy pushing his buttons.
