Chapter 136 - An Offer On The Way Back Home
Did she not want him to take her home?
Words like that were enough to cause a shortcircuit in the mind of Ying Yue He.exe even when the Confession protocol had gone successfully—
Her imagination ran wild, the synapses in her brain electrified until she realized that it was definitely not an invitation to sleep with her. There were other people inside of Li Yang's house. But even she was still wrong in her assumptions.
"I want to make sure that you get home safe, Miss He," he said.
His offer to Ying Yue He wasn't necessarily bringing her to his own home, contrary to the expectations of the creature and hers, but in bringing her to her own home..
Back to her apartment to be exact.
Li Yang wanted to offer her a safe ride and found no reason for her to stay in his office when he was already going himself. Ying Yue He gave him a sheepish smile.
"Can you drop me off at the Shen Society's office instead? I'm a bit inspired by Taiga to grow stronger so I'll try to head there and train a bit."
The CEO blinked, but then nodded.
Her resolve was there and who was he to stop her? But Li Yang found himself curious. "Who exactly is training you there when Miss Taiga is with me?" It was much better that his secretary consumed high-quality materials, but spiritual qi cultivation was different and so instruction was needed.
"Mou Gu when he's free." She shrugged. "Whoever is available actually."
Li Yang only remembered two other people who could train her. "You mean Hua Zhao and the quiet guy?"
"Yeah, Song. Hua Zhao not so much, since he's a martial artist and still in university. And Mou Gu's got his own work cut out for him." she explained.
Where exactly had been these people during the Tyrannical Merfolk incident?
He would have to find out about it at a later time, but he finally brought his secretary there and she gave him a warm wave before she proceeded to go inside of the building.
Taiga gave him a look from the backseat of his car. "Can I go in front now that's she gone, Bossman?"
Li Yang blinked. "Well—"
"No questions asked. I'm fitting there." She would end up moving over to the shotgun seat and gave him a smile. "Now it's Taiga's turn to be here."
"You sat there when we were on the way to the office this morning."
"Doesn't matter." She relaxed in her seat and glanced at him. "Can Taiga rest her head in your lap?"
"I'm driving—"
She still scooted over to the side and managed to rest her body in the somewhat uncomfortable compartment area and lay her head on his shoulder. Taiga was being unnecessarily clingy with him, but she was still playing it off as being sleepy.
Which she was probably.
If the cute yawn she gave was any indication. And her half-lidded eyelids were a give away to her thoughts. Perhaps she really just enjoyed the close contact with him and Li Yang tried not to be distracted, lest the two of them end in an accident.
"Try not to get a hard-on, Bossman."
"Why would I get one?" he idly asked. His concentration was fully on the road and getting home on time.
"Because Taiga is resting on your lap and men get boners at weird times. It would poke Taiga in the head when she's supposed to be resting."
"Did you do a lot today to get this tired and warrant the opportunity to rest on your employer?"
"You don't want Taiga resting her head on your lap?"
"You are slightly heavy."
"Not funny!" She pouted at him. "You're not doing yourself any favors by treating Taiga this way."
"Will you be quitting? I only meant to tease."
"Taiga didn't know you were capable of that."
"Really?"
"Really."
It was going to be a long ride home indeed. The CEO shifted slightly in his seat and took a deep breath. Sometimes the anatomy of the human body really did work in strange moments and had a peculiar timing.
The Tigress Spirit yawned. "Taiga thinks something is poking her head, Bossman."
"Ignore it." he grunted.
Her eyes bleared open and she stared up at his face. "Eeeh? Taiga could have offered a blowjob!" She proceeded to give him a toothy grin, her canine fangs showing off.
Li Yang took note of the sharp teeth, before looking back on the road. "While I'm driving? It'll go down on its own."
"Bossman is no fun."
"I'd rather not risk it," Li Yang said.
"This is heavily tinted right?" she asked. Not exactly understanding his reluctance.
"I'm driving."
"Then pull over to the side!"
He hadn't expected someone who snuggled so closely to him was this demanding, but one activity did often lead to another. Li Yang just didn't expect he would be dealing with this so soon.
Somehow, the incident in his room seemed to have been forgotten entirely by Taiga, or she was offering this as a way to get things back to normal.
"Are you always this horny, Miss Taiga?" he asked.
"No? But I can smell some stuff in this car so look who's talking, Bossman."
"..."
"You can't lie to the nose!" She grinned proudly.
Li Yang didn't pull over at all, instead he tried to make conversation with her. "I think dogs are supposed to be the ones with greater acumen to scent, not felines."
"Cultivation can be used to enhance the senses and mine are always turned on."
"As you are now?"
The question was enough to render her speechless for a moment. Perhaps she thought he wouldn't rise to such a bait or make a remark like it. He chuckled and continued on with his driving. "If you really are interested, then let's schedule it some other time. We have to get home for now, Miss Taiga."
"... are you serious, Bossman?"
"I am. But for now, I hope you can wait."
