Naruto In The World of Beautiful CEO
82 You grow in me
"M-marry you?!" Mingyu gasped and her exhaustion disappeared in the instant.
"Yeah," Naruto chuckled at her reaction, "and it's not a joke!"
He scratched his cheek, "Well, of course it's not in the near time, perhaps a month later? After all I still need to meet your parent and other proper arrangement."
"Naruto, what about your wife?" Mingyu said in a low tone, despite she felt gratified at his idea of getting marriage, but the current law only allowed a man to have one legal wife.
"What about her?" Naruto shook his head while happily laughing, "she still my wife, both of you will become my wife, or... perhaps three..."
"Are you planning our marriage in overseas?" Mingyu wrinkled her eyebrows.
"Why bother going out when we can have it here..." Naruto huffed in irritation.
"Naruto... I don't think that's possible, unlike other public administration, the marital department couldn't provide any sidetrack from the policy, that is why many big family up until today only admitted one legal wife despite they have many mistress," Mingyu frowned.
"Well, normally it couldn't, but I manage..." Naruto smirked, "don't you have a confidence in me?"
"I..." Mingyu startled, after a long time of silence and deep stare, she let out a sigh and rested on her head on his firm chest, "um, I suppose I let you handle it..."
"Woah, is that mean you are agree to become my wife?" Naruto laughed, he raised his body and hugged her tightly.
"Humph," Mingyu's cheek grew red, she fluttered her eyelashes at him, "should I?"
"Hehe, if you don't comply, then I am going to force you..." he smirked badly.
"Hee..." Mingyu lazily turned her face away from him, crossing her hands in the front of that marvelous breasts of her, "I like to see you try!"
"Alright don't regret it!" Naruto stretched his fingers and commenced the dances on her waist, "One Thousand Years of Misery!"
"Aaaah, stop it, ahahaa, Naruto, stop it, pffft, ahahahaah!" Mingyu wiggled her body around and tried to get away from him, but his fingers as if glued to her waist, whenever action she made , she always failed to get away from the ticklish feeling.
"Come on, come on, say yes or I won't stop, even in a thousand years!" Naruto clutched her body with his both legs, his fingers flashed on the luster land akin to a great musician.
"No! You can't do this, you can't force me, pffft ahahahahhaah this is unfair!" Mingyu playfully hit his body, trying her best to put the man's deed into a stop.
"Oh, it seems you can endure my technique... fine, let me see how you handle with this!" Naruto grabbed her leg and he raised it upward before launching an artillery toward her sole.
Mingyu thrashed around, with now his body beyond the reach of her hands and one leg held down, she could only laugh in helpless way.
"OK, OK, I give up, I'll marry you, you hateful man!" After suffered in a joy for a long time, Mingyu finally resigned with rugged breath and heaving chest, her body covered in sweat once more.
Naruto stopped his action, with a faint smile, he made a bunch of seals then grasped his own palm, under the observation of Mingyu's eyes, Naruto opened his hand after a while, something appeared on the center of his palm.
Mingyu focused her blurry eyes and startled at the thing he held.
It's a ring.
A plain blue colored ring that emitted a cool temperature and white icy mist. Naruto grasped her right hand and put the ring on her finger.
"I don't have a ring for the occasion so let this be a replacement for a while..." he let go her hand and watched how Mingyu absentmindedly trace the ring. He flashed a smile, "Although that ring is made of ice but it won't melted under normal temperature, even capable to sustain its form in a slightly higher climate."
He rested his fingers on her cheek, the smooth surface flourished with a gentle caress, "By the time it melt, I promise you a proper ring to have, so be patient until then, kay?"
His soft gaze and calm voice, combined with the swayed hand on her cheek, Mingyu's heart flooded with sweetness and joy, she rubbed against the ring many time as if unable to believe what thing just occurred before her, she didn't care about how Naruto can make this thing manifested within his hand or why this ring couldn't melt like other normal ice made thing, her finger not even felt cold after being trapped inside the ice ring, instead a soothing and comfortable sense lingered on it.
After a long time in her own world, Mingyu set her eyes toward Naruto, she smiled beautifully for the first time since they had met, the smile she mustered with all of her heart poured into it, conveying what she felt in the most plausible and simple way but bearing the heaviest graciousness that one can't easily comprehend.
It's like a smile of an innocent child when they first time received a new dress, or when they first time went into a zoo.
It's gratifying and pleasing to look.
Naruto stared in daze, as if a mysterious force invited him in, he leaned forward and kissed her lips, she reciprocate in passionate sense and they once again indulge in amorous activity.
(***)
Time had gone much further toward the west.
After a long time in deep loving intercourse, Naruto and Mingyu shared a sweetheart bath together, they went into the living room as their stomach grumbled in protest.
"Oh, I forget!" Mingyu snapped her mouth open in the instant, the way she walked still a bit funny since the weird sensation within her lower genital caused her much suffering.
"Forget what?" Naruto held her hand as they strolled into the living room, he had helped her ease the pain a bit with healing technique thus she capable to walk now albeit resembling a drunk person.
"Zu Liang had bought us a lunch and invite us to eat it together!" she frowned in helplessness.
"Zu Liang?" Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows before nodding his head, "oh, your neighbor and admirer! He still hell-bent on chasing you? Do you want me to pummel him into an obedient son?"
"Stop it, he had apologized to me for his recent ill behavior and sincerely treated us a lunch..." Mingyu slapped his chest, earning a fake painful twitched from his face.
"Well, judging by the needle, let's hope whatever he bought for us is still eatable," Naruto glanced to the clock that hung on the wall, he supported Mingyu's hand and they both went outside Mingyu's place.
Arriving behind a door belonged to the place at the other side, Naruto tapped his knuckle on it and waited together with Mingyu. They heard someone's talking behind the door then a few minutes later, the door swung open, revealing Zu Liang with a gruesome on his face and bitter eyes.
"Mingyu, I know that I made a mistake but isn't this a little bit too much?" his face darkened while frowning deeply.
Mingyu about to apologize but Naruto beat her to it, "We are sorry for the late, I have been distracting Mingyu and made her busy thus she forgot to mention your well intention act, I hope you can forgive her and let me repay it by treating you as well, sometime in the future."
Zu Liang glanced toward Naruto, a glint of coldness flashed before his eyes before he curled his lips and masked a kind of expression, "Oh it's fine, I am going to consider it as my punishment for my recent behavior, I shouldn't act like that, Mingyu is my friend and you are her boyfriend, thus you should have become my friend too!"
Mingyu didn't notice his unusual expression but for Naruto who had dealt with a lot of enemies, even a single weird thing won't miss by his eyes, but he didn't show any reaction to it, instead Naruto just smiled and rubbed the back of his head, "That is kind of you, Mingyu is truly bless to have a good friend around her."
Mingyu nodded her head in gratified manner, today just became better and better for her, not only she managed to retain her friendship with Zu Liang, she also had a fiance now and will get married soon.
Well, aside from annoying feeling that surge from her private part.
"Come in, come in, don't just stay in the hallway!" Zu Liang opened his door and waited beside the frame.
Naruto helped Mingyu walked in, her face groomed in redness at the thought of Zu Liang caught her weird manner in walking. True as she thought, Zu Liang wrinkled his eyebrows as soon as he saw her slow gait in attempt to sit on the couch in the living room.
Also the way Naruto intimately supported her make him uncomfortable and let out murderous glare, the strange and fearful thought popped out inside his mind, the way she walked, the time she took to show up before his door, and this bastard blonde made her preoccupied.
His face twisted in ugly manner, he knew the sign of a girl finally became a woman, when the pure had gone, replaced with the mature and cultivated one, when the maiden had been corrupted with the world's pleasure.
He had taken many virgin too thus it wasn't hard for him to come into this conclusion.
Zu Liang clenched his fist as he glared dagger at the back of this man and woman couple, with a great effort, he tried to calm himself and approached the two as they arrived on the couch.
"What do you guys want to drink? Mingyu, I have your favorite apple juice on the fridge," he said in a forced smile after letting out a light snort.
Naruto gave him a brief glance, then turning his face at Mingyu, he said with a smile, "You shouldn't drink something cold yet, it wasn't good for your recovery..."
"Ah?" Mingyu startled, with a ruddy face she stared at her own tight and said in a small sound, "then I have... a hot tea..."
Naruto glimpsed at the lean man before him, "I have the same with her."
Zu Liang face became more ugly after hearing their conversation, it literally had been confirmed now that Mingyu is no longer a virgin!
Son of a bitch, how dare you!
Zu Liang really wanted to stride forward and punched the blonde in front until he broke his nose and jaw. In the term of duration of he had been knowing Mingyu, he should be the one who become her boyfriend or at least had the chance to sleep with her, he had spent many effort to please her and faked a lot of smile just to appease her.
Yet he only receive a thank you, thank you, and thank you!
I don't need your thank you, you bitch!
In order to hide his fuming in anger face, Zu Liang quickly went into a kitchen, unlike Mingyu's place, the room of his rent is much bigger, even had its own kitchen space that blocked by a wall, thus Naruto and Mingyu unable to see how he grabbed a mug and crumbled it to pieces with his own hand, out of frustration.
He first time met Mingyu when he visited an association in Zhong Hai's city, it can be said it's a love at the first sight, her mature temperament made him thought she was already married, he almost bailed on the idea of hitting her, after all he's not familiar with Zhong Hai's family structure, what if Mingyu's husband is a prominent man or a young master from a big named family?
A single finger from them could destroy his life and his enterprise, he's not stupid enough to risk his life to hit a woman belonged to the bunch of people like that.
But somehow he unable to resist the temptation to chat with her, eventually, he braved himself and came to say hello, her gentle smile and soft sound had fluttered the man's feeling, making him flew into the highest layer of the sky.
For someone in his thirty, he should be indeed already look for a woman to be taken as a bride, but his occupation had made him busy and most woman he met is yet to move his heart, some of them did but they no longer single, even already married.
He had dally with many women but all of them just for his fun time and pent up release, after all, work can be very stressful.
As he's getting more interested with Mingyu, he braved himself to ask her whether she married or not, but he didn't receive any answer instead just a faint smile before she left his association workplace.
With a bunch of research he conducted in order to gain information about Mingyu, he finally knew the truth about her condition which is abandoned by a long missing boyfriend, with the thought of considering that boyfriend is dead and not even from prestigious family, his conquest on courting Mingyu then started.
Grudge lingered inside Zu Liang's mind, he put the foods inside the oven and waited for it to be heated, he glanced to the set of kitchen knives that placed on their shelf not far from the oven, the thought of stabbing the blonde man and tore his throat became a ludicrous enticement.
But Zu Liang stayed his hand, he had things far better than brutalize and barbaric murder like that, With a cold smirk on his face, Zu Liang went into a cupboard and fished out something from it. It's a white color powder, huddled inside a transparent plastic. It's untraceable and undetected, quickly solvent under the mix of water, with only a few dose, this powder won't capable to bear the name of murder weapon, even can help your bowel movement if you ever had the hard time with it.
But if you put it in a larger dose...
Zu Liang curled his lips, sinister color blazing on those pair of black eyes. His ruthless plan didn't stop, he bent down once more and took out another thing from the cupboard, it's another powder with blue color now.
This thing bore no danger, not at all, but if you put it together with another dangerous things, it can serve as the delay for that dangerous thing to begin its reaction thus can be considered as the timer for a bomb to explode.
Zu Liang couldn't help but wanting to laugh for his ingenious plan, as long that hateful blonde man drinking the tea with this powder mixture in it, by tomorrow morning he will meet his demise, but by the time that happened, he would be no longer around here thus Zu Liang would be free from becoming a suspect.
And Mingyu could finally become his, it's no matter whether she was agree or not, if he had to take her by force, then he shall do it!
Enough of playing gentle cat, time to become a fierce tiger!
While Zu Liang was deep inside his hideous plan, he didn't realize that his murderous intention and gloomy aura had polluted the atmosphere around and easily sensed by someone who sensitive toward nature, like Naruto.
Even if your body got blocked by layers of concrete cement, his sharp sense could still feel the rotten, stink, ugly, and bitter aura beyond that wall. No matter how hard you tried to hide it, your aura will expose the true feeling that lurked inside your heart.
Lips could deceive, words could lie, eyes could trick, and hands could dismay.
But don't ever try to think you can hide your aura.
Only someone or something without heart or emotion could achieve this, but even the cruelest or the most psychotic murderer unable to become completely heartless.
Naruto frowned, he grasped Mingyu's hand and distracted her from the show that 40 inch LCD played, "Mingyu, how long have you been know Zu Liang?"
"Hmm?" Mingyu titled her head, then she set her eyes upward, "I think a year..."
"Do you know what he do for living?"
"Of course, he's a merchant, selling a bunch of stuff like furniture or garment by taking order from other city, sometimes he got one from other country too," Mingyu placed her finger on her lips, "he is very busy, I think within a month, I only met him in several occasion, but whenever we do, we have a good chat!"
She nodded her head and faintly smiled, then she noticed Naruto deep frown gesture, she became panic, "We are not doing anything beside chat! Please don't get the wrong idea!"
Naruto startled at her sudden exclaimed, he broke a chuckled and caressed her cheek, "Yes, I know... my Mingyu is adorable and obedient cat, how can you mew on random stray cat?"
"Uhh, who is your cat..." Mingyu frowned but the gentle caress on her cheek made her smile.
"Mingyu... is there any chance for you to live with me and my wife?" Naruto said in a hoping tone.
"Eh? You want to move in with you both?" Mingyu wrinkled her eyebrows.
"Yeah, aside from sooner or later you will be my wife, I am more comfortable when you are in the near distance, our home is too far apart."
"Hmm... while the thought about you worried about my welfare is comforting, but I am afraid I have to decline..." Mingyu shook her head then facing him in apologetic manner.
"Why? If you afraid of my wife, then you have nothing to worry about, she's actually take a liking upon you..." Naruto chuckled, his hand had moved from her cheek into her side hair, brushing them gently.
"Naruto... what she had accepted and acknowledged is my status as your lover, and I know it must be not easy for her to do that, when you tell her that you are going to marry me too, I believe she will have different feeling from me, perhaps she will bear an ill thought about me and no longer accept me as what I am...
Even thought she later will accept my status of being your second wife, I don't think she will agree of living under one roof with another her husband's wife. Naruto, a house akin to a castle for a king and a queen, there will be no a second king or a second queen there, no queen shall compromise on the power struggle and each of them will strive to be the only one.
I don't want that... I also want a place that solely only belong to you and me... a place where we tied our bond, indulged in our love, and shared the live together. A place where you are the only one who will see me in my weakest state and so do me to see you in your weakest state. And one day, I am going to conceive your child, and later having a small family of our own.
I believe... your wife also want that... so, it will be better for us not to stay under one roof..."
Naruto sighed as he heard her confession, it's true that Ruoxi perhaps accepted Mingyu as one of his lover but the moment she heard he's going to marry her too, she might not like it, maybe will shout angrily at him or giving him another cold shoulder...
But it's the risk he needed to take and he's not fear for accepting the consequence.
On the other hand, making them live together seemed not a plausible idea, not to mention Ruoxi is yet to agree to expose her identity toward Mingyu, and Naruto didn't know whether she will agree or not.
Making Mingyu lived with Jiang Wei also not good, Jiang Wei life is constantly in danger by assassination and underworld gangster problem, it will implicate Mingyu if she stayed there together.
Remembering Jiang Wei, Naruto rubbed his head, if he going to marry Mingyu, it seemed only fair that he marry her too, comparing to Mingyu or Ruoxi, his relation with Jiang Wei is far stronger, she had known his biggest secret, she even had share his power and now her blood also the same as him.
But with Jiang Wei situation, he didn't know she will agree or not, she's on her path of battling her father, he feared if he asked her hand for marriage now, her dream will falter and she soon hesitate, Naruto didn't want to be someone who obstruct her from her wish and dream.
People might say that nothing will change after they become husband and wife but the truth is, everything change.
Your wife wouldn't have the same thought as when she became your girlfriend, your husband might act different compared when he just your boyfriend.
It's nothing strange, it just how life is.
Mingyu sensed Naruto deep thought and troubled expression, she tilted her head, and she smiled gently, she lifted her hands and grasped his head, she put it on her shoulder and brushed his golden hair.
"Shuuush, don't think too much, let it flow and see how the future will unfold, it's a mystery to brave, you just have to face it and accept the consequence then strive for the better result next time...
You need to remember that we all love you, perhaps is not a blind love or utmost love that we will sacrifice everything for you, but you have place in our heart just like we did in you..
Remember, you not alone in this, for the better or the worst, we all here for you, I am here for you..."
Naruto widened his eyes as the scent of her hair filled his nose and drunk his mind, the gentle hand spoiled his head as if a mother nursing her child, Naruto felt this once, under the blossoming of sakura tree and in the middle of grassland clearing, soft thigh, gentle hand, black hair and blonde hair filled his eyes.
Numerous and complicated feeling rose within his guts but he ignored them and just closed his eyes, enjoying Mingyu's nursing like a child sought for his or her mother comfort.
Soon, Zu Liang came out from the kitchen with a tray on his hand, the moment he saw their intimate manner, he almost threw all the food to the ground and roared in anger toward them.
Motherfucker, bitch please, you guys in my home, have some decency will you?!
Are you guys trying to provoke me?! Is that it?!
Zu Liang clenched his teeth and cleared his throat, "Ahem!"
Mingyu glanced toward the source of the sound and remembered that they are not in her place, her face groomed in redness, she leaned to Naruto's ear, "Naruto, Zu Liang here, I let go your head, key?"
"Uhhm... five more minutes..."
Mingyu smiled bitterly and only let out apologetic face to Zu Liang. The sport like man twitched his eyes in annoyance, he really hated this blonde and wished nothing but thousand of curse fell upon him, he really expecting tomorrow news about someone's death without a proper explanation.
Let's see if Yama will laugh at your tease!
Zu Liang snorted, he strode forward without care for Naruto situation and said in a loud tone, "The food's here, eat it before it went cold again!"
Silent fell upon the room, but in this moment of tranquil, the temperature around the room dropped all of the sudden, both Mingyu and Zu Liang shivered.
"Hah, what the heck happen? Are the temperature's control broke?"
Zu Liang wrinkled his eyebrows, he placed the food on the table in the front of Mingyu and Naruto, then he rushed toward the temperature control on the wall not far from them.
He looked at the mechanism and noticed it set at the usual condition, he raised his hand and rotate them around but the nothing change within the temperature, in fact, it just getting colder and colder.
What the fuck happen here?
While he gritted his teeth at icy feeling on his skin, Mingyu felt warm coating her body instead, she didn't know for sure where is it come from but she assumed this thing happen in the fault of blonde within her embrace. She glanced at Naruto and noticed the blonde is stayed still as if he became a solid statue.
Worry started filling her heart but she didn't know what to do, she eventually just decided to continue rubbing his head in a gentle manner.
After five minutes of the man suffering in cold while the woman worrying in silent, Naruto opened his eyes, the cold temperature vanished almost in a heartbeat then he lifted his face toward Mingyu.
"Thank you, Mingyu..." he smiled but Mingyu could noticed the strange lights within his eyes.
"Do you want to return to my place? I cook you something..." She failed to understand, but the most thing she wanted to do now is to comfort the man before her.
Naruto shook his head, he glanced at Zu Liang who coated in thick blanket and stared around in confusion at the sudden return of the temperature.
"He already prepare us a food, it will be rude if we just leave, let's eat them!" Naruto pinched her cheek and proceeded to pick the food on the table.
"I am not really hungry, help me finish my food..." Mingyu fluttered her eyelashes to him.
Naruto chuckled as he understood her meaning, he dropped his plate, and picked up her, the food is a rice with chicken curry and several vegetables within it, it already not let out any steam anymore since the previous cold air had dispersed them.
Naruto scooped a spoonful of curry and offered it to Mingyu's mouth, the moment she about to eat it, he took it away and placed it inside his mouth instead, munching on it while let out taunting smirk.
Mingyu huffed in annoyance but soon he delivered another attempt and this time its really landed inside her mouth.
They ate in harmony while disregard the man who sat not far from them and wore an ugly face. His blood is brimming with an anger and almost explode like a nuclear blast.
"So, Mr... uh... what's your name again?" Zu Liang tried to strike a conversation but the way he expressed his forgetting Naruto's name without any hint of guilt at all.
Naruto glimpsed at him before resuming his activity toward Mingyu, "Uzumaki."
"Ah, yes, Mr. Uzumaki... what did you do for living?" Zu Liang nodded, then smirked in mocking manner.
Psk, typical question.
Naruto rolled his eyes while Mingyu appeared slightly angry, Zu Liang toned when asking this clearly smeared with bad intention.
"I am Mingyu's coworker, we work in the same department!"
"Eh? You also in Public Relation at Yu Lei?" Zu Liang wrinkled his eyebrows, the rumor he heard from his association in regard of Yu Lei's PR recruitment for men is supposed to be super hard, yet this man capable on entering them.
Is the rumor not true? Or this man use his relation to enter the department?
Zu Liang refused to believe this man had high competence quality, thus he started to ponder all negative way Naruto use to breach into Yu Lei.
But nevertheless, he also glad that Naruto's status just a common employee, even when he came from famous corporation such as Yu Lei International, but he still an employee who had the salary perhaps only three digit for each month.
Unlike him, who could easily gain five to six digit.
Pride started raising within his chest, he puffed out his firm pectoralis and straightened his back, as if tried to demonstrate his dominance over his wealth.
"Naruto are you thirsty?"
"Oh yeah."
"Here~"
Mingyu picked her glass and offered it to Naruto, he gladly sip from it and the next thing happened almost made Zu Liang blurted out his eyes.
Mingyu took a sip but she placed her lips on where Naruto placed his, as if they make an indirect kiss.
Son of a bitch!
Zu Liang almost wanted to bit on his own shirt as envy filled his heart at their intimate manner.
What's the importance of wealth when you don't get the girl or the woman? So many gold but the woman you like chase other instead? This got stolen feeling is too damn hurt!
Also they had been eating and drinking from Mingyu's portion, there is not powder put within her thus his plan is yet to success.
His face getting darkened but soon his eyes brightened, "Mingyu, I remember about the souvenir I brought from my last work trip, wait, I get it for you!"
He stood up from his spot and rushed inside his own room, Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows but Mingyu just shook her head in helpless manner.
Soon, Zu Liang came back from inside and gave the packet toward Mingyu, "Here Mingyu, when I am there, I passed by a jewel shop and the stuff inside reminded me of you!"
Mingyu smiled, she grabbed the packet, holding it with one hand then faced him again, "Thank you!" Then she placed the packet on the table and continued eating the food with Naruto.
Zu Liang excited face froze, with a doubt in his tone, he asked, "Aren't you going to open it?"
"Umm, I will but perhaps later, I am eating now..." Mingyu glanced at him for a brief, her mouth chewed on the vegetable.
"But it's no longer held much value if you postpone it..." Zu Liang frowned.
"What did you give her? food?" Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows, his mouth bit on the stainless spoon.
"I said I am passed by a jewel shop, why would I buy a food in there? Why they even serve one?" Zu Liang shook his head, is this man deaf? Or is he stupid? Perhaps he never see a jewel shop before... pfft what a lamer.
"Oh, you said you passed by a jewel shop, I thought you just passed by and didn't buy anything, sorry!" Naruto waved his hand in a careless manner.
"Whatever," Zu Liang rolled his eyes then ignoring the stupid blonde man, he glanced at Mingyu, his eyes full of expectant, "Mingyu opened it now! Please!"
"Hah, why you are so persistent..." Mingyu sighed in lamentation, she glanced at Naruto as if seeking for his approval, this gesture earned another twitched from Zu Liang's lips.
Naruto shrugged then nodding his head, Mingyu chuckled, she grabbed the package and slowly opened it.
Zu Liang eyes grew in excitement per her fingers movement, every time they danced in untying the rope his heart would jumped in elation.
Mingyu dabbled with the package for sometime before it revealed a small square box within it. Her eyes widened a bit then they returned to normal, Zu Liang excitement fell slightly at her brief surprise but he didn't put too much trouble with it. When she saw what is inside, she definitely will jump in happiness.
He had spent a fortune to buy this from the jewels clerk, even had loan several of his asset in order to buy it, not only this is a very rare item, but also became the object of adoration of most collector in the world.
And he was lucky to be able to gain it and gave it to the woman he adore.
He waiting for her to jump into his embrace and saying thank you many time, perhaps repay it with several exclusive act.
Zu Liang no longer care about another man presence inside the room, he just want Mingyu and all about Mingyu.
Mingyu stared at the small box with complicated eyes, is not she worry whether she will feel something toward it, rather she didn't want to cause a bad mood toward Naruto, she glanced to him for the last time, but the blonde man just stared at her with faint smile and careless expression.
She became a little upset at his attitude, another man about to give her a present, why don't you show a slight worry?
"Mingyu, open it!" Zu Liang roared and gave Mingyu a scare.
Shaking her head, Mingyu stared at the box and lift its case slowly.
"..." Soon, silent looming inside the room, Zu Liang already went mad at the image of Mingyu leaped into his embrace and conveyed her graciousness. But that the moment never came as Mingyu just stared at the stuff inside with wrinkled eyebrows.
Was she got dumb because too happy after seeing the item?
Yeah! She must too happy that she unable to respond.
Don't worry Mingyu, this father will await for your soft body until the end of the time!
"Zu Liang, is this what I think it is?" Mingyu expression shadowed.
"Yes, Mingyu, yes! I spent so much on it, but don't worry, for you, every single cent is worth!"
Mingyu raised her body, with the box on her hand, she strolled toward Zu Liang who already in joy for the moment he awaited shall arrived.
Mingyu stood before him and seconds for another seconds, the time had arrived.
For the box to fly into his face!
"You pervert!"
Mingyu glared at him with hateful eyes, she never expected the man to dare giving her such an item. Zu Liang stumbled backward and rubbed his nose, his eyes smeared in confusion colors, he thought she will throw herself not the box back into his face, he roared at nonsense thing she did, "Mingyu what the fuck are you doing?! Why the fuck you throw the box at me?! Don't you fucking recognize the ring?!"
"What ring?! You pervert! Make sure you check the item before you gave it to a person!" Mingyu didn't back down, she clenched her fist and teeth, "I really wrong about you, I can't believe you dare giving such a thing to me, from now on, don't you ever dare to greet me again!"
"Mingyu, what are you saying?!" Zu Liang crouched and grabbed the box, "look, this is Amethyst Ri-"
He halted his speech all of the sudden as he saw the item inside the box, its a purple oval thing with a small rotor stuck on its surface, both Mingyu and Zu Liang was not an innocent person thus they recognize such thing from those erotic films.
Naruto stood up and whistled, "Woah, I can't believe you are this brave man, I never dare to do this..."
"Mingyu... this is not... not... this is isn't..." Zu Liang face became pale, he stared at Mingyu with fearful eyes.
Mingyu didn't bother listening to his explanation, "Naruto let's leave, I don't want to be here anymore!"
Naruto nodded, with a relaxed appearance, he went closer into Zu Liang and grabbed the self assistance pleasure item from his hand, Naruto winked his eye, "Thanks for the gift bro, you are one brave lad, go to the nearest brothel and have yourself to be spoiled there!"
Naruto supported Mingyu's hand and they strolled outside the room, leaving the absentminded and soulless Zu Liang alone in the desolate room.
(***)
Back at Mingyu's place, she hugged Naruto arm and acted like a spoiled child, "OK, now return the item back to normal~"
"Oh, you know?" Naruto chuckled and let out his badly smirk.
"Humph, you did such a trick before, why stopping you from doing the same," Mingyu honked her mouth, then curling her lips, "By the way, you are a pervert and hateful man!"
"Yes, yes, I am plead for guilt then shall accept the pervert title for the rest of my life~" Naruto raised one hand.
"Stop playing, show me real the appearance~" she said as she clung on his arm.
Naruto chuckled, he pushed out two finger and touched her forehead, soon the item image went blurry then slowly form into a small ring with amethyst gemstone stuck on its crown.
Mingyu eyes glittered at the sight of her favorite color embedded on the accessory, she grasped and stared at it for a while.
Naruto scratched his cheek in bitterness, yeah, such thing of course will attract woman, the misfortune for such a poor guy like him who wouldn't be able to buy his women with such valuable thing.
Mingyu nodded then she turned around and curled her lips, "Give me your pinky!"
"Eh?"
"Give me!"
Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows and did as she asked, she grasped the finger and put the ring on it, it didn't go in smooth since his pinky still bigger several inches from the ring's diameter.
But Naruto didn't bother with such calculation, he blinked his eyes and observed her action with funny feeling.
Aren't you the one who receive the gift? Why putting it on me?
"Hehe~" Mingyu held his hand and brought it to her face, she let it touched her face and she gave it a kiss, "my favorite color for my favorite person, this is such a perfect occasion."
Naruto almost broke a laughter from her behavior, he shook his head, "You are such a weird person..." then he encircled her waist and pasted it to his body, "but I don't hate it, in fact..."
He leaned forward and blew her ear, "You grow in me."
"Yeah," Naruto chuckled at her reaction, "and it's not a joke!"
He scratched his cheek, "Well, of course it's not in the near time, perhaps a month later? After all I still need to meet your parent and other proper arrangement."
"Naruto, what about your wife?" Mingyu said in a low tone, despite she felt gratified at his idea of getting marriage, but the current law only allowed a man to have one legal wife.
"What about her?" Naruto shook his head while happily laughing, "she still my wife, both of you will become my wife, or... perhaps three..."
"Are you planning our marriage in overseas?" Mingyu wrinkled her eyebrows.
"Why bother going out when we can have it here..." Naruto huffed in irritation.
"Naruto... I don't think that's possible, unlike other public administration, the marital department couldn't provide any sidetrack from the policy, that is why many big family up until today only admitted one legal wife despite they have many mistress," Mingyu frowned.
"Well, normally it couldn't, but I manage..." Naruto smirked, "don't you have a confidence in me?"
"I..." Mingyu startled, after a long time of silence and deep stare, she let out a sigh and rested on her head on his firm chest, "um, I suppose I let you handle it..."
"Woah, is that mean you are agree to become my wife?" Naruto laughed, he raised his body and hugged her tightly.
"Humph," Mingyu's cheek grew red, she fluttered her eyelashes at him, "should I?"
"Hehe, if you don't comply, then I am going to force you..." he smirked badly.
"Hee..." Mingyu lazily turned her face away from him, crossing her hands in the front of that marvelous breasts of her, "I like to see you try!"
"Alright don't regret it!" Naruto stretched his fingers and commenced the dances on her waist, "One Thousand Years of Misery!"
"Aaaah, stop it, ahahaa, Naruto, stop it, pffft, ahahahaah!" Mingyu wiggled her body around and tried to get away from him, but his fingers as if glued to her waist, whenever action she made , she always failed to get away from the ticklish feeling.
"Come on, come on, say yes or I won't stop, even in a thousand years!" Naruto clutched her body with his both legs, his fingers flashed on the luster land akin to a great musician.
"No! You can't do this, you can't force me, pffft ahahahahhaah this is unfair!" Mingyu playfully hit his body, trying her best to put the man's deed into a stop.
"Oh, it seems you can endure my technique... fine, let me see how you handle with this!" Naruto grabbed her leg and he raised it upward before launching an artillery toward her sole.
Mingyu thrashed around, with now his body beyond the reach of her hands and one leg held down, she could only laugh in helpless way.
"OK, OK, I give up, I'll marry you, you hateful man!" After suffered in a joy for a long time, Mingyu finally resigned with rugged breath and heaving chest, her body covered in sweat once more.
Naruto stopped his action, with a faint smile, he made a bunch of seals then grasped his own palm, under the observation of Mingyu's eyes, Naruto opened his hand after a while, something appeared on the center of his palm.
Mingyu focused her blurry eyes and startled at the thing he held.
It's a ring.
A plain blue colored ring that emitted a cool temperature and white icy mist. Naruto grasped her right hand and put the ring on her finger.
"I don't have a ring for the occasion so let this be a replacement for a while..." he let go her hand and watched how Mingyu absentmindedly trace the ring. He flashed a smile, "Although that ring is made of ice but it won't melted under normal temperature, even capable to sustain its form in a slightly higher climate."
He rested his fingers on her cheek, the smooth surface flourished with a gentle caress, "By the time it melt, I promise you a proper ring to have, so be patient until then, kay?"
His soft gaze and calm voice, combined with the swayed hand on her cheek, Mingyu's heart flooded with sweetness and joy, she rubbed against the ring many time as if unable to believe what thing just occurred before her, she didn't care about how Naruto can make this thing manifested within his hand or why this ring couldn't melt like other normal ice made thing, her finger not even felt cold after being trapped inside the ice ring, instead a soothing and comfortable sense lingered on it.
After a long time in her own world, Mingyu set her eyes toward Naruto, she smiled beautifully for the first time since they had met, the smile she mustered with all of her heart poured into it, conveying what she felt in the most plausible and simple way but bearing the heaviest graciousness that one can't easily comprehend.
It's like a smile of an innocent child when they first time received a new dress, or when they first time went into a zoo.
It's gratifying and pleasing to look.
Naruto stared in daze, as if a mysterious force invited him in, he leaned forward and kissed her lips, she reciprocate in passionate sense and they once again indulge in amorous activity.
(***)
Time had gone much further toward the west.
After a long time in deep loving intercourse, Naruto and Mingyu shared a sweetheart bath together, they went into the living room as their stomach grumbled in protest.
"Oh, I forget!" Mingyu snapped her mouth open in the instant, the way she walked still a bit funny since the weird sensation within her lower genital caused her much suffering.
"Forget what?" Naruto held her hand as they strolled into the living room, he had helped her ease the pain a bit with healing technique thus she capable to walk now albeit resembling a drunk person.
"Zu Liang had bought us a lunch and invite us to eat it together!" she frowned in helplessness.
"Zu Liang?" Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows before nodding his head, "oh, your neighbor and admirer! He still hell-bent on chasing you? Do you want me to pummel him into an obedient son?"
"Stop it, he had apologized to me for his recent ill behavior and sincerely treated us a lunch..." Mingyu slapped his chest, earning a fake painful twitched from his face.
"Well, judging by the needle, let's hope whatever he bought for us is still eatable," Naruto glanced to the clock that hung on the wall, he supported Mingyu's hand and they both went outside Mingyu's place.
Arriving behind a door belonged to the place at the other side, Naruto tapped his knuckle on it and waited together with Mingyu. They heard someone's talking behind the door then a few minutes later, the door swung open, revealing Zu Liang with a gruesome on his face and bitter eyes.
"Mingyu, I know that I made a mistake but isn't this a little bit too much?" his face darkened while frowning deeply.
Mingyu about to apologize but Naruto beat her to it, "We are sorry for the late, I have been distracting Mingyu and made her busy thus she forgot to mention your well intention act, I hope you can forgive her and let me repay it by treating you as well, sometime in the future."
Zu Liang glanced toward Naruto, a glint of coldness flashed before his eyes before he curled his lips and masked a kind of expression, "Oh it's fine, I am going to consider it as my punishment for my recent behavior, I shouldn't act like that, Mingyu is my friend and you are her boyfriend, thus you should have become my friend too!"
Mingyu didn't notice his unusual expression but for Naruto who had dealt with a lot of enemies, even a single weird thing won't miss by his eyes, but he didn't show any reaction to it, instead Naruto just smiled and rubbed the back of his head, "That is kind of you, Mingyu is truly bless to have a good friend around her."
Mingyu nodded her head in gratified manner, today just became better and better for her, not only she managed to retain her friendship with Zu Liang, she also had a fiance now and will get married soon.
Well, aside from annoying feeling that surge from her private part.
"Come in, come in, don't just stay in the hallway!" Zu Liang opened his door and waited beside the frame.
Naruto helped Mingyu walked in, her face groomed in redness at the thought of Zu Liang caught her weird manner in walking. True as she thought, Zu Liang wrinkled his eyebrows as soon as he saw her slow gait in attempt to sit on the couch in the living room.
Also the way Naruto intimately supported her make him uncomfortable and let out murderous glare, the strange and fearful thought popped out inside his mind, the way she walked, the time she took to show up before his door, and this bastard blonde made her preoccupied.
His face twisted in ugly manner, he knew the sign of a girl finally became a woman, when the pure had gone, replaced with the mature and cultivated one, when the maiden had been corrupted with the world's pleasure.
He had taken many virgin too thus it wasn't hard for him to come into this conclusion.
Zu Liang clenched his fist as he glared dagger at the back of this man and woman couple, with a great effort, he tried to calm himself and approached the two as they arrived on the couch.
"What do you guys want to drink? Mingyu, I have your favorite apple juice on the fridge," he said in a forced smile after letting out a light snort.
Naruto gave him a brief glance, then turning his face at Mingyu, he said with a smile, "You shouldn't drink something cold yet, it wasn't good for your recovery..."
"Ah?" Mingyu startled, with a ruddy face she stared at her own tight and said in a small sound, "then I have... a hot tea..."
Naruto glimpsed at the lean man before him, "I have the same with her."
Zu Liang face became more ugly after hearing their conversation, it literally had been confirmed now that Mingyu is no longer a virgin!
Son of a bitch, how dare you!
Zu Liang really wanted to stride forward and punched the blonde in front until he broke his nose and jaw. In the term of duration of he had been knowing Mingyu, he should be the one who become her boyfriend or at least had the chance to sleep with her, he had spent many effort to please her and faked a lot of smile just to appease her.
Yet he only receive a thank you, thank you, and thank you!
I don't need your thank you, you bitch!
In order to hide his fuming in anger face, Zu Liang quickly went into a kitchen, unlike Mingyu's place, the room of his rent is much bigger, even had its own kitchen space that blocked by a wall, thus Naruto and Mingyu unable to see how he grabbed a mug and crumbled it to pieces with his own hand, out of frustration.
He first time met Mingyu when he visited an association in Zhong Hai's city, it can be said it's a love at the first sight, her mature temperament made him thought she was already married, he almost bailed on the idea of hitting her, after all he's not familiar with Zhong Hai's family structure, what if Mingyu's husband is a prominent man or a young master from a big named family?
A single finger from them could destroy his life and his enterprise, he's not stupid enough to risk his life to hit a woman belonged to the bunch of people like that.
But somehow he unable to resist the temptation to chat with her, eventually, he braved himself and came to say hello, her gentle smile and soft sound had fluttered the man's feeling, making him flew into the highest layer of the sky.
For someone in his thirty, he should be indeed already look for a woman to be taken as a bride, but his occupation had made him busy and most woman he met is yet to move his heart, some of them did but they no longer single, even already married.
He had dally with many women but all of them just for his fun time and pent up release, after all, work can be very stressful.
As he's getting more interested with Mingyu, he braved himself to ask her whether she married or not, but he didn't receive any answer instead just a faint smile before she left his association workplace.
With a bunch of research he conducted in order to gain information about Mingyu, he finally knew the truth about her condition which is abandoned by a long missing boyfriend, with the thought of considering that boyfriend is dead and not even from prestigious family, his conquest on courting Mingyu then started.
Grudge lingered inside Zu Liang's mind, he put the foods inside the oven and waited for it to be heated, he glanced to the set of kitchen knives that placed on their shelf not far from the oven, the thought of stabbing the blonde man and tore his throat became a ludicrous enticement.
But Zu Liang stayed his hand, he had things far better than brutalize and barbaric murder like that, With a cold smirk on his face, Zu Liang went into a cupboard and fished out something from it. It's a white color powder, huddled inside a transparent plastic. It's untraceable and undetected, quickly solvent under the mix of water, with only a few dose, this powder won't capable to bear the name of murder weapon, even can help your bowel movement if you ever had the hard time with it.
But if you put it in a larger dose...
Zu Liang curled his lips, sinister color blazing on those pair of black eyes. His ruthless plan didn't stop, he bent down once more and took out another thing from the cupboard, it's another powder with blue color now.
This thing bore no danger, not at all, but if you put it together with another dangerous things, it can serve as the delay for that dangerous thing to begin its reaction thus can be considered as the timer for a bomb to explode.
Zu Liang couldn't help but wanting to laugh for his ingenious plan, as long that hateful blonde man drinking the tea with this powder mixture in it, by tomorrow morning he will meet his demise, but by the time that happened, he would be no longer around here thus Zu Liang would be free from becoming a suspect.
And Mingyu could finally become his, it's no matter whether she was agree or not, if he had to take her by force, then he shall do it!
Enough of playing gentle cat, time to become a fierce tiger!
While Zu Liang was deep inside his hideous plan, he didn't realize that his murderous intention and gloomy aura had polluted the atmosphere around and easily sensed by someone who sensitive toward nature, like Naruto.
Even if your body got blocked by layers of concrete cement, his sharp sense could still feel the rotten, stink, ugly, and bitter aura beyond that wall. No matter how hard you tried to hide it, your aura will expose the true feeling that lurked inside your heart.
Lips could deceive, words could lie, eyes could trick, and hands could dismay.
But don't ever try to think you can hide your aura.
Only someone or something without heart or emotion could achieve this, but even the cruelest or the most psychotic murderer unable to become completely heartless.
Naruto frowned, he grasped Mingyu's hand and distracted her from the show that 40 inch LCD played, "Mingyu, how long have you been know Zu Liang?"
"Hmm?" Mingyu titled her head, then she set her eyes upward, "I think a year..."
"Do you know what he do for living?"
"Of course, he's a merchant, selling a bunch of stuff like furniture or garment by taking order from other city, sometimes he got one from other country too," Mingyu placed her finger on her lips, "he is very busy, I think within a month, I only met him in several occasion, but whenever we do, we have a good chat!"
She nodded her head and faintly smiled, then she noticed Naruto deep frown gesture, she became panic, "We are not doing anything beside chat! Please don't get the wrong idea!"
Naruto startled at her sudden exclaimed, he broke a chuckled and caressed her cheek, "Yes, I know... my Mingyu is adorable and obedient cat, how can you mew on random stray cat?"
"Uhh, who is your cat..." Mingyu frowned but the gentle caress on her cheek made her smile.
"Mingyu... is there any chance for you to live with me and my wife?" Naruto said in a hoping tone.
"Eh? You want to move in with you both?" Mingyu wrinkled her eyebrows.
"Yeah, aside from sooner or later you will be my wife, I am more comfortable when you are in the near distance, our home is too far apart."
"Hmm... while the thought about you worried about my welfare is comforting, but I am afraid I have to decline..." Mingyu shook her head then facing him in apologetic manner.
"Why? If you afraid of my wife, then you have nothing to worry about, she's actually take a liking upon you..." Naruto chuckled, his hand had moved from her cheek into her side hair, brushing them gently.
"Naruto... what she had accepted and acknowledged is my status as your lover, and I know it must be not easy for her to do that, when you tell her that you are going to marry me too, I believe she will have different feeling from me, perhaps she will bear an ill thought about me and no longer accept me as what I am...
Even thought she later will accept my status of being your second wife, I don't think she will agree of living under one roof with another her husband's wife. Naruto, a house akin to a castle for a king and a queen, there will be no a second king or a second queen there, no queen shall compromise on the power struggle and each of them will strive to be the only one.
I don't want that... I also want a place that solely only belong to you and me... a place where we tied our bond, indulged in our love, and shared the live together. A place where you are the only one who will see me in my weakest state and so do me to see you in your weakest state. And one day, I am going to conceive your child, and later having a small family of our own.
I believe... your wife also want that... so, it will be better for us not to stay under one roof..."
Naruto sighed as he heard her confession, it's true that Ruoxi perhaps accepted Mingyu as one of his lover but the moment she heard he's going to marry her too, she might not like it, maybe will shout angrily at him or giving him another cold shoulder...
But it's the risk he needed to take and he's not fear for accepting the consequence.
On the other hand, making them live together seemed not a plausible idea, not to mention Ruoxi is yet to agree to expose her identity toward Mingyu, and Naruto didn't know whether she will agree or not.
Making Mingyu lived with Jiang Wei also not good, Jiang Wei life is constantly in danger by assassination and underworld gangster problem, it will implicate Mingyu if she stayed there together.
Remembering Jiang Wei, Naruto rubbed his head, if he going to marry Mingyu, it seemed only fair that he marry her too, comparing to Mingyu or Ruoxi, his relation with Jiang Wei is far stronger, she had known his biggest secret, she even had share his power and now her blood also the same as him.
But with Jiang Wei situation, he didn't know she will agree or not, she's on her path of battling her father, he feared if he asked her hand for marriage now, her dream will falter and she soon hesitate, Naruto didn't want to be someone who obstruct her from her wish and dream.
People might say that nothing will change after they become husband and wife but the truth is, everything change.
Your wife wouldn't have the same thought as when she became your girlfriend, your husband might act different compared when he just your boyfriend.
It's nothing strange, it just how life is.
Mingyu sensed Naruto deep thought and troubled expression, she tilted her head, and she smiled gently, she lifted her hands and grasped his head, she put it on her shoulder and brushed his golden hair.
"Shuuush, don't think too much, let it flow and see how the future will unfold, it's a mystery to brave, you just have to face it and accept the consequence then strive for the better result next time...
You need to remember that we all love you, perhaps is not a blind love or utmost love that we will sacrifice everything for you, but you have place in our heart just like we did in you..
Remember, you not alone in this, for the better or the worst, we all here for you, I am here for you..."
Naruto widened his eyes as the scent of her hair filled his nose and drunk his mind, the gentle hand spoiled his head as if a mother nursing her child, Naruto felt this once, under the blossoming of sakura tree and in the middle of grassland clearing, soft thigh, gentle hand, black hair and blonde hair filled his eyes.
Numerous and complicated feeling rose within his guts but he ignored them and just closed his eyes, enjoying Mingyu's nursing like a child sought for his or her mother comfort.
Soon, Zu Liang came out from the kitchen with a tray on his hand, the moment he saw their intimate manner, he almost threw all the food to the ground and roared in anger toward them.
Motherfucker, bitch please, you guys in my home, have some decency will you?!
Are you guys trying to provoke me?! Is that it?!
Zu Liang clenched his teeth and cleared his throat, "Ahem!"
Mingyu glanced toward the source of the sound and remembered that they are not in her place, her face groomed in redness, she leaned to Naruto's ear, "Naruto, Zu Liang here, I let go your head, key?"
"Uhhm... five more minutes..."
Mingyu smiled bitterly and only let out apologetic face to Zu Liang. The sport like man twitched his eyes in annoyance, he really hated this blonde and wished nothing but thousand of curse fell upon him, he really expecting tomorrow news about someone's death without a proper explanation.
Let's see if Yama will laugh at your tease!
Zu Liang snorted, he strode forward without care for Naruto situation and said in a loud tone, "The food's here, eat it before it went cold again!"
Silent fell upon the room, but in this moment of tranquil, the temperature around the room dropped all of the sudden, both Mingyu and Zu Liang shivered.
"Hah, what the heck happen? Are the temperature's control broke?"
Zu Liang wrinkled his eyebrows, he placed the food on the table in the front of Mingyu and Naruto, then he rushed toward the temperature control on the wall not far from them.
He looked at the mechanism and noticed it set at the usual condition, he raised his hand and rotate them around but the nothing change within the temperature, in fact, it just getting colder and colder.
What the fuck happen here?
While he gritted his teeth at icy feeling on his skin, Mingyu felt warm coating her body instead, she didn't know for sure where is it come from but she assumed this thing happen in the fault of blonde within her embrace. She glanced at Naruto and noticed the blonde is stayed still as if he became a solid statue.
Worry started filling her heart but she didn't know what to do, she eventually just decided to continue rubbing his head in a gentle manner.
After five minutes of the man suffering in cold while the woman worrying in silent, Naruto opened his eyes, the cold temperature vanished almost in a heartbeat then he lifted his face toward Mingyu.
"Thank you, Mingyu..." he smiled but Mingyu could noticed the strange lights within his eyes.
"Do you want to return to my place? I cook you something..." She failed to understand, but the most thing she wanted to do now is to comfort the man before her.
Naruto shook his head, he glanced at Zu Liang who coated in thick blanket and stared around in confusion at the sudden return of the temperature.
"He already prepare us a food, it will be rude if we just leave, let's eat them!" Naruto pinched her cheek and proceeded to pick the food on the table.
"I am not really hungry, help me finish my food..." Mingyu fluttered her eyelashes to him.
Naruto chuckled as he understood her meaning, he dropped his plate, and picked up her, the food is a rice with chicken curry and several vegetables within it, it already not let out any steam anymore since the previous cold air had dispersed them.
Naruto scooped a spoonful of curry and offered it to Mingyu's mouth, the moment she about to eat it, he took it away and placed it inside his mouth instead, munching on it while let out taunting smirk.
Mingyu huffed in annoyance but soon he delivered another attempt and this time its really landed inside her mouth.
They ate in harmony while disregard the man who sat not far from them and wore an ugly face. His blood is brimming with an anger and almost explode like a nuclear blast.
"So, Mr... uh... what's your name again?" Zu Liang tried to strike a conversation but the way he expressed his forgetting Naruto's name without any hint of guilt at all.
Naruto glimpsed at him before resuming his activity toward Mingyu, "Uzumaki."
"Ah, yes, Mr. Uzumaki... what did you do for living?" Zu Liang nodded, then smirked in mocking manner.
Psk, typical question.
Naruto rolled his eyes while Mingyu appeared slightly angry, Zu Liang toned when asking this clearly smeared with bad intention.
"I am Mingyu's coworker, we work in the same department!"
"Eh? You also in Public Relation at Yu Lei?" Zu Liang wrinkled his eyebrows, the rumor he heard from his association in regard of Yu Lei's PR recruitment for men is supposed to be super hard, yet this man capable on entering them.
Is the rumor not true? Or this man use his relation to enter the department?
Zu Liang refused to believe this man had high competence quality, thus he started to ponder all negative way Naruto use to breach into Yu Lei.
But nevertheless, he also glad that Naruto's status just a common employee, even when he came from famous corporation such as Yu Lei International, but he still an employee who had the salary perhaps only three digit for each month.
Unlike him, who could easily gain five to six digit.
Pride started raising within his chest, he puffed out his firm pectoralis and straightened his back, as if tried to demonstrate his dominance over his wealth.
"Naruto are you thirsty?"
"Oh yeah."
"Here~"
Mingyu picked her glass and offered it to Naruto, he gladly sip from it and the next thing happened almost made Zu Liang blurted out his eyes.
Mingyu took a sip but she placed her lips on where Naruto placed his, as if they make an indirect kiss.
Son of a bitch!
Zu Liang almost wanted to bit on his own shirt as envy filled his heart at their intimate manner.
What's the importance of wealth when you don't get the girl or the woman? So many gold but the woman you like chase other instead? This got stolen feeling is too damn hurt!
Also they had been eating and drinking from Mingyu's portion, there is not powder put within her thus his plan is yet to success.
His face getting darkened but soon his eyes brightened, "Mingyu, I remember about the souvenir I brought from my last work trip, wait, I get it for you!"
He stood up from his spot and rushed inside his own room, Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows but Mingyu just shook her head in helpless manner.
Soon, Zu Liang came back from inside and gave the packet toward Mingyu, "Here Mingyu, when I am there, I passed by a jewel shop and the stuff inside reminded me of you!"
Mingyu smiled, she grabbed the packet, holding it with one hand then faced him again, "Thank you!" Then she placed the packet on the table and continued eating the food with Naruto.
Zu Liang excited face froze, with a doubt in his tone, he asked, "Aren't you going to open it?"
"Umm, I will but perhaps later, I am eating now..." Mingyu glanced at him for a brief, her mouth chewed on the vegetable.
"But it's no longer held much value if you postpone it..." Zu Liang frowned.
"What did you give her? food?" Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows, his mouth bit on the stainless spoon.
"I said I am passed by a jewel shop, why would I buy a food in there? Why they even serve one?" Zu Liang shook his head, is this man deaf? Or is he stupid? Perhaps he never see a jewel shop before... pfft what a lamer.
"Oh, you said you passed by a jewel shop, I thought you just passed by and didn't buy anything, sorry!" Naruto waved his hand in a careless manner.
"Whatever," Zu Liang rolled his eyes then ignoring the stupid blonde man, he glanced at Mingyu, his eyes full of expectant, "Mingyu opened it now! Please!"
"Hah, why you are so persistent..." Mingyu sighed in lamentation, she glanced at Naruto as if seeking for his approval, this gesture earned another twitched from Zu Liang's lips.
Naruto shrugged then nodding his head, Mingyu chuckled, she grabbed the package and slowly opened it.
Zu Liang eyes grew in excitement per her fingers movement, every time they danced in untying the rope his heart would jumped in elation.
Mingyu dabbled with the package for sometime before it revealed a small square box within it. Her eyes widened a bit then they returned to normal, Zu Liang excitement fell slightly at her brief surprise but he didn't put too much trouble with it. When she saw what is inside, she definitely will jump in happiness.
He had spent a fortune to buy this from the jewels clerk, even had loan several of his asset in order to buy it, not only this is a very rare item, but also became the object of adoration of most collector in the world.
And he was lucky to be able to gain it and gave it to the woman he adore.
He waiting for her to jump into his embrace and saying thank you many time, perhaps repay it with several exclusive act.
Zu Liang no longer care about another man presence inside the room, he just want Mingyu and all about Mingyu.
Mingyu stared at the small box with complicated eyes, is not she worry whether she will feel something toward it, rather she didn't want to cause a bad mood toward Naruto, she glanced to him for the last time, but the blonde man just stared at her with faint smile and careless expression.
She became a little upset at his attitude, another man about to give her a present, why don't you show a slight worry?
"Mingyu, open it!" Zu Liang roared and gave Mingyu a scare.
Shaking her head, Mingyu stared at the box and lift its case slowly.
"..." Soon, silent looming inside the room, Zu Liang already went mad at the image of Mingyu leaped into his embrace and conveyed her graciousness. But that the moment never came as Mingyu just stared at the stuff inside with wrinkled eyebrows.
Was she got dumb because too happy after seeing the item?
Yeah! She must too happy that she unable to respond.
Don't worry Mingyu, this father will await for your soft body until the end of the time!
"Zu Liang, is this what I think it is?" Mingyu expression shadowed.
"Yes, Mingyu, yes! I spent so much on it, but don't worry, for you, every single cent is worth!"
Mingyu raised her body, with the box on her hand, she strolled toward Zu Liang who already in joy for the moment he awaited shall arrived.
Mingyu stood before him and seconds for another seconds, the time had arrived.
For the box to fly into his face!
"You pervert!"
Mingyu glared at him with hateful eyes, she never expected the man to dare giving her such an item. Zu Liang stumbled backward and rubbed his nose, his eyes smeared in confusion colors, he thought she will throw herself not the box back into his face, he roared at nonsense thing she did, "Mingyu what the fuck are you doing?! Why the fuck you throw the box at me?! Don't you fucking recognize the ring?!"
"What ring?! You pervert! Make sure you check the item before you gave it to a person!" Mingyu didn't back down, she clenched her fist and teeth, "I really wrong about you, I can't believe you dare giving such a thing to me, from now on, don't you ever dare to greet me again!"
"Mingyu, what are you saying?!" Zu Liang crouched and grabbed the box, "look, this is Amethyst Ri-"
He halted his speech all of the sudden as he saw the item inside the box, its a purple oval thing with a small rotor stuck on its surface, both Mingyu and Zu Liang was not an innocent person thus they recognize such thing from those erotic films.
Naruto stood up and whistled, "Woah, I can't believe you are this brave man, I never dare to do this..."
"Mingyu... this is not... not... this is isn't..." Zu Liang face became pale, he stared at Mingyu with fearful eyes.
Mingyu didn't bother listening to his explanation, "Naruto let's leave, I don't want to be here anymore!"
Naruto nodded, with a relaxed appearance, he went closer into Zu Liang and grabbed the self assistance pleasure item from his hand, Naruto winked his eye, "Thanks for the gift bro, you are one brave lad, go to the nearest brothel and have yourself to be spoiled there!"
Naruto supported Mingyu's hand and they strolled outside the room, leaving the absentminded and soulless Zu Liang alone in the desolate room.
(***)
Back at Mingyu's place, she hugged Naruto arm and acted like a spoiled child, "OK, now return the item back to normal~"
"Oh, you know?" Naruto chuckled and let out his badly smirk.
"Humph, you did such a trick before, why stopping you from doing the same," Mingyu honked her mouth, then curling her lips, "By the way, you are a pervert and hateful man!"
"Yes, yes, I am plead for guilt then shall accept the pervert title for the rest of my life~" Naruto raised one hand.
"Stop playing, show me real the appearance~" she said as she clung on his arm.
Naruto chuckled, he pushed out two finger and touched her forehead, soon the item image went blurry then slowly form into a small ring with amethyst gemstone stuck on its crown.
Mingyu eyes glittered at the sight of her favorite color embedded on the accessory, she grasped and stared at it for a while.
Naruto scratched his cheek in bitterness, yeah, such thing of course will attract woman, the misfortune for such a poor guy like him who wouldn't be able to buy his women with such valuable thing.
Mingyu nodded then she turned around and curled her lips, "Give me your pinky!"
"Eh?"
"Give me!"
Naruto wrinkled his eyebrows and did as she asked, she grasped the finger and put the ring on it, it didn't go in smooth since his pinky still bigger several inches from the ring's diameter.
But Naruto didn't bother with such calculation, he blinked his eyes and observed her action with funny feeling.
Aren't you the one who receive the gift? Why putting it on me?
"Hehe~" Mingyu held his hand and brought it to her face, she let it touched her face and she gave it a kiss, "my favorite color for my favorite person, this is such a perfect occasion."
Naruto almost broke a laughter from her behavior, he shook his head, "You are such a weird person..." then he encircled her waist and pasted it to his body, "but I don't hate it, in fact..."
He leaned forward and blew her ear, "You grow in me."
