Mr. Tycoon's Daring Wife

After having their meal together, Zhao Lifei was prepared to leave. This time, she would not be persuaded to stay any longer. She didn't want to remain in the office to discuss the proposal.

"Grandfather, I hope you don't break our promise." She reminded him, picking up her purse.

Zhao Moyao smiled at his doubtful granddaughter. The promise was that she wouldn't be dragged back into the office for at least 3 days after any consultation work. She was his top consultant, and despite how good she was at running a business, he could see the toll that it took on her.

She was traumatized by something and it was something that even two years of therapy have been unable to heal. Right now, he could only hope and pray she gets over her fear or else, her abilities were truly put to waste.

Yang Feng didn't object to her leaving this time, but that didn't mean he would be staying here. During the meal, he had contacted Yulong to attend the discussion in his place.

Zhao Moyao leaned back in his leather chair as he watched Yang Feng readily chase after his granddaughter.

Three minutes later, another man walked into the room, his face oozing with playful charm. Unlike Yang Feng whose expression was forever arctic and stony, Yang Yulong always had a mischievous smile on his face that hid all of the sins he had committed.

"Elder Zhao, I hope I didn't keep you waiting for long?" Yang Yulong sat down on the table but paused when he smelled something odd.

"Did you guys have scallops for lunch?" Despite his tall and slender frame, Yang Yulong was a major glutton known for his bottomless stomach. His keen sense of smell allowed him to detect his favorite food that just happened to be the only thing Yang Feng was allergic to.

"Your nose is as sharp as a bloodhound, Yulong. But yes, we had eggs steamed with scallops as a side dish." Zhao Moyao picked up the surprised expression on the Vice President of Yang Enterprise's face.

"I hope my brother didn't consume any. He's severely allergic to it." Yulong grabbed his phone, his eyes slightly wide with panic.

Zhao Moyao leaned forward, a frown on his face. Severely allergic? But he gladly ate the dish when Lifei had scooped it into his bowl!

"He consumed a spoonful of it-"

"A spoonful?! My apologies for interrupting, Elder Zhao, but where is my brother right now?!" Yulong stood up from his chair as he hurriedly sent a text Chen Gaonan.

"He left with my granddaughter." Zhao Moyao sighed at the mess the youngsters have created.

He wasn't surprised Yulong didn't run into Yang Feng. There were two private elevators leading to this floor, which meant Yang Feng and Lifei probably took one down just as Yang Yulong took the other going up.

Why did Yang Feng eat the scallop and say it's his favorite if he was allergic to it? Was he asking for a death wish?!

"Granddaughter? I thought you didn't acknowledge any of them." Yulong distractedly said.

Zhao Moyao tiredly leaned his cheeks on one propped up arm. "I acknowledge two of them. One of them is Zhao Lifei, my oldest." He said, clearly getting the facts mixed up.

She wasn't his oldest granddaughter, as a matter of fact, he had two older grandchildren, but Zhao Moyao didn't bother with them. He didn't even remember their existence!

"Zhao Lifei?" Yang Yulong lifted his head from the phone he was rapidly typing on. Why did that name sound so familiar?

He thought back to what his little Qinqin was rambling about a few days ago.

"Hm, is she acquainted with my little sister?"

"Yes, Xiao Fei is good friends with Yang Ruqin. If I remember correctly, my granddaughter's date to the banquet was supposed to be you." Zhao Moyao thought back to Zhao Lifei's words.

The security he sent for her reported that while she got picked up by one of the Yang family's cars, she entered the banquet alone. Due to the strict rules of the banquet, they couldn't enter the room. Instead, they were forced to wait outside in the hallway — per protocol. The same rule applied to everyone.

Yang Yulong snapped his fingers when a light bulb lit up in his head. Yes! That was the one! "It's so strange, isn't it? I was all dressed up and ready to escort her, but last minute, Feng-ge stopped me from going. The next thing I knew, I was sent to the main mansion for a lecture while he gets to accompany a beautiful woman." Yulong frowned at the unhappy memory.

He was pretty excited to see Lifei again after all these years. It was strange that she didn't remember him, especially when they used to be great friends when they were children. He guessed the years had been enough for their childhood memories to fade.

It was even stranger for Yang Feng to harshly intercept him and force him to not attend the banquet. He really wanted to go, but seeing his brother's fierce objection, he couldn't. To prevent Yulong from escaping, he even sent him back to the main mansion where his parents kept a tight leash around him! His brother was really ruthless. First, it was his younger sister, and then it was him. He couldn't wait to see his parents lecture Yang Feng for making them wait for him to start his own family. The man was already 27 and he had yet to bring home any woman to introduce to his parents.

Now that Yang Yulong thought about it, he remembered seeing a particular headline that has blown up recently. His parents had called him nonstop since Yang Feng wasn't picking up their calls. They wanted to confirm the news as they giddily imagined that a grandchild is in their near future. Unfortunately, Yulong didn't know if it was real or not.
