4. Taming Game
Liang Ze stood up at once, eyes fixed on Xie He. Shock and rage filled his eyes! He nearly started to interrogate Xie He...but he quickly realized that Xie He’s hands were bound behind his back and there were marks of being violently handled all over his body.... This meant that he hadn’t been willing. Xie He’s words were a secret warning not to expose their rtionship.
Liang Ze knew that there was something fishy going on at once. Although the rage billowed inside him, he was still a shrewd person. He did not lose control of himself. After some time...he asked in a surprised tone, “Father, what’s this?”
Liang Chengshan smiled. “It’s as you see.” After saying this, he turned to speak to Xie He, his smile turning meaningful, “Why did youe out?”
Xie He rested one knee on the sofa, leaning in close to Liang Chengshan. He smiled back, his narrow and long phoenix eyes looking indolent. His voice was hoarse. “You didn’t tell me I couldn’te out, so I came to find you...did I make a mistake?”
It had been difficult for Liang Ze to suppress his anger. When he saw Xie He look so submissive and seductive, he nearly ground his teeth to dust. He raised his voice slightly, asking again, “Father, you still haven’t told me what’s going on!”
Liang Chengshan didn’t want Xie He to show off his naked figure in front of Liang Ze. When he thought of how there had very likely been something between these two in the past, a trace of displeasure appeared in his heart. He slowly said, “Go back inside.”
“Yes,” Xie He said in a deferential voice. He stood up and headed back inside. Just as he was about to turn the corner, he slowly shook his head at Liang Ze at an angle Liang Chengshan could not see.
Liang Ze’s emotions wereplicated when he saw Xie He do this. He clenched his fists tightly.
Liang Chengshan looked at Liang Ze, voice low and imposing. “Sit down and we’ll talk.”
Liang Ze’s face was ashen. He slowly sat down, voice stiff. “Didn’t you tell me that you sent him on some business? What’s going on?”
Ridicule emerged in Liang Chengshan’s eyes. “That’s right. He didn’t perform well, so this is the consequence.”
Liang Ze’s expression changed slightly. He said, “He’s in the wrong for not performing well but can’t you give him another chance...?”
Liang Chengshan looked at Liang Ze with an indifferent gaze but did not respond to his question. Instead, he asked his own. “First of all, he’s mine. How I deal with him has nothing to do with you. Secondly, don’t you think you’re meddling too much, considering the two of you are only friends?”
There was a hint of displeasure hidden in his words near the end.
Liang Ze was good at reading people. He knew that Liang Chengshan was unhappy. If it were any other time, he would not continue down this line of questioning, but Xie He...how could he leave him be! Liang Ze braced himself and said, “He...after all... I sent him to you. If he doesn’t do things well, I’ll feel responsible...so that’s why I’m a bit more concerned about him.”
Liang Chengshan stared at him. A long timeter, his tone turned chilly. “How should I put this? He betrayed me and tried to kill me. Do you still feel responsible?”
This startled Liang Ze. He suddenly stood up and quivered. His tone changed. “Impossible!”
Liang Chengshan’s gaze turned dangerous. He slowly said, “Tell me, did you know about this?”
Liang Ze’s face was pale. He said at once, “No, I didn’t! And that can’t be possible. How could he betray you?”
Liang Chengshan continued to look at him, silent.
Liang Ze’s forehead was covered in a cold sweat. His mind was a mess. In the beginning, he had only been angry at Liang Chengshan for imprisoning Xie He and getting intimate with him. But now, all that was on his mind was Xie He betraying and trying to kill Liang Chengshan.... If it were true, then it was already extremely gracious for Liang Chengshan to not kill Xie He outright.
Moreover, as Liang Chengshan had said, Liang Ze had personally given Xie He to him. With Liang Chengshan’s personality, he might suspect Liang Ze.
Liang Chengshan examined Liang Ze’s expression, the cold slowly dissipating. At the start, he did suspect Liang Ze, but he could tell that Liang Ze didn’t know about this at all. His shock just now could not have been faked.... Since it was like this, he was willing to be a bit more tolerant with his son.
Liang Chengshan stood up. His tone was cool. “You will not interfere with the matter with Yang Ling from now on, understand?”
Liang Ze clenched his fists, not replying, and watched Liang Chengshan go in.
He stood in ce for a long time. In the end, he slowly turned and left. When he was back outside, he punched his car door. Despicable! He would definitely get to the bottom of this!
He didn’t believe that Xie He would betray them!
&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;&#k2026;............
Liang Chengshan returned to his bedroom and found Xie He leisurely lying down on the bed. His elegantly contoured, powerful body was on full disy. He was wless, like a Greek sculpture. When he saw Liang Chengshane back, he curled his lips into a smile, a charm that could melt ice emitting from his eyes.
Liang Chengshan only felt the me in his chest grow hotter. He was definitely the type to ruin someone if they were not careful. He walked over and peered down on Xie He, slowly saying, “You came out to see Liang Ze.”
He didn’t believe the bull abouting out to find himself at all.
Xie He smiled and asked, “Why would I want to see him?”
Liang Chengshan bent at the waist, staring straight into Xie He’s eyes. “Will you tell me why?”
Xie He shook his head. “I said that I came to look for you. You don’t trust me. Would you believe me if I made up a reason for which I would want to see Liang Ze? Anyway, we’re really just friends.”
Liang Chengshan sneered. “Friends that have slept together.”
Xie He spoke in an upright tone. “Friends with benefits are still friends.”
Liang Chengshan regarded Xie He for a long time, then spat out cold words. “You’re really a slut.”
And yet&#k2026;he still desired him anyway.
Liang Chengshan carried Xie He into the washroom and threw him into the tub.
..................
In the beginning, Xie He had been very calm. In the end, because of the pain, he couldn’t help but begin to struggle. But Liang Chengshan’s hold was like steel. He pressed him down, not allowing him to move a single inch. Not even Xie He could break free.
Liang Chengshan didn’t used to care about who Xie He slept with before. He didn’t have any ridiculous notions like wanting his partner to be a virgin. But since the other was now his, Xie He would now need to be punished if he was naughty and seduced other people. When he recalled how Xie He had exposed his naked body, not trying to cover it up at all while in front of Liang Ze, and thought of how they had likely been intimate in the past, he felt unhappy.
It had been many, many years since Liang Chengshanst felt jealousy. He had thought that he would never again experience such a ridiculous, meaningless emotion—an emotion that makes him lose all reason.
But now, he was indeed jealous.
After being tormented, Xie He went soft all over. He could tell that Liang Chengshan didn’t hold back. When Liang Chengshan let go of him, Xie He slipped right down onto the bathroom floor.
He forced himself to turn to look at Liang Chengshan, a smile ying on his lips. “Do you want to continue?”
Liang Chengshan pulled him over and entered him. He squeezed Xie He’s throat and bit down onto it. His voice was low. “Remember who’s the one f*cking you now. I’m not Liang Ze. If you make me unhappy, I’ll kill you.”
The corner of Xie He’s lips raised. He was enthralling to look at. “Got it.”
Liang Chengshan’s eyes darkened. He kissed the other. Only after being inside the other did he know that underneath the young man’s cold, sharp exterior, there was actually a wanton, bewitching side. He was both dangerous and sexy...like a drug he could get addicted to. From now on, he would be the only one to ever see this side of the young man in front of him.
【Ding, the target Liang Chengshan’s Favourability Value +5. The current Favourability Value is 70.】
..............................
【Xie He：Uncle Liang is very generous with giving me Favourability points. Indeed, when you get older, you get better at pampering others. I like him. Smile.JPG】
【444：O(∩_∩)O~】By pampering, Host dada means making him feel good everyday by f*cking him right? He’s just gonna keep smiling!
【Xie He：But anyway, I kind of miss my Little Brother Liang. Although I can’t sleep with him, he can at least give me some experience points. Therefore, I also love him.】
【444：......】
Liang Chengshan had indulged in Xie he for a very long time. Every day, he’d change up how he ‘yed’ with Xie He. He once again felt the passion he had had in his youth. No matter how much time passed, he didn’t feel bored with the other.
But as the head of an organization and the boss, he couldn’t be glued together with Xie He all the time. There were many things he had to do. Today, his bodyguard Kenny came to ask him when they would head out. The deal with Mr. Cohen required his presence.
Liang Chengshan muttered to himself for a while and then returned to his room.
He ced an outfit in front of Xie He and then undid his binds. He said, “Put that on.”
Xie He raised his brow, surprised. Liang Chengshan hadn’t let him wear any clothes, let alone let him see anyone else for the previous period of time. What did he mean by doing this today? But Xie He didn’t ask any questions. He just dressed himself calmly under Liang Chengshan’s unswerving gaze.
Liang Chengshan once again bound Xie He’s hands behind his back and breathed into the other’s ear. “Didn’t you say you were innocent? I’ll give you one more chance. Obediently stay by my side. Let me see whether you’re well-behaved.”
Xie He smiled at this. “You can trust me.”
Liang Chengshan gently stroked Xie He’s neck, eyes on the other’s face. Xie He had acted verypliant recently. There was nothing he could fault the other with. But this wasn’t enough to make Liang Chengshan trust him. However...it did make him want to make it true. He wanted topletely tame the other and not have him just be something to y with.
If this beautiful, stunning man wouldpletely and wholeheartedly submit to him, how wonderful would that be?
Liang Chengshan let go and said to Xie He, “Give me your leg.”
Xie He obediently lifted a leg, revealing his smooth ankle. Liang Chengshan held his ankle and pulled out a golden hoop. With a ck, it snapped into ce around his ankle. The golden hoop had a shing red light. It was a tracking device.
Liang Chengshan was satisfied with this. With a faint smile, he said, “Let’s go.”
Xie He looked indifferent. He followed Liang Chengshan out.
Kenny had waited outside for a long time. When he saw Liang Chengshane out with Xie He, his expression turned ugly. He had disliked this oriental youngster for a while now. He had tolerated him before, but the other had betrayed them already! And yet, Mr. Liang wasn’t willing to kill him and even kept him at his side. Why? It couldn’t be that Mr. Liang had fallen for that face?
Kenny gaze Xie He a fierce re. He threatened him. “You better be on your best behaviour. Otherwise, I’ll break all the bones in your body and then feed you to the dogs.”
Xie He had no interest in giving this subordinate a smile. He gave the other a cold nce, disdain in his eyes.
Kenny was provoked by Xie He’s nce. He nearly jumped at him. Before, he couldn’t beat Xie He, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger. But now, Xie He was just a prisoner. Both his hands were bound. And yet, he dared to act so arrogant? He couldn’t stop himself from grabbing Xie He by the cor, his knuckles crackling.
Liang Chengshan furrowed his brows slightly. He had always known that Kenny and Xie He did not get along. Furthermore, Xie He was still considered a traitor, so it was normal that Kenny hated him even more. But he didn’t intend on tolerating Kenny putting his hands on his people. With a frosty voice, he said, “Enough.”
Kenny could only reluctantly let go when he heard Liang Chengshan speak. He spat, with hatred dripping out of his voice, “I’ll let you off this time. If you dare betray Boss again, I definitely won’t let you off.”
Xie He narrowed his eyes slightly and finally smiled, shing his pearly-white teeth. His eyes curved into a smile. “I have to correct you. I didn’t betray Boss. Anderson was ndering me. And also...do you think that you can do anything to me with your abilities?”
He raised his tone at the end, clearly provoking the other.
Kenny had always been a hot-tempered fellow. How could he bear this? He clenched his fist, knuckles cracking. “You want to give it a try?”
“Who’s afraid of you?” Xie Heughed coldly. He then took a step back, stepping onto the couch and then springing off of it. His powerful leg sent a kick towards Kenny’s front! His movement was so quick you could hear the swish of the air as he kicked.
Kenny had been ready. He lowered his head and dodged, reaching out to grab Xie He by the leg. But just as he was about to make contact, Xie He suddenly withdrew the leg and then thrust his knee upwards towards Kenny’s throat!
Kenny’s expression changed and he staggered backwards to avoid the attack. Right at this moment, Xie He jumped off the ground and encircled the other’s neck with his legs. Unstable, Kenny fell to the ground. Before he could react, Xie He’s leg was already pushing down on his neck!
He couldn’t breathe. Faced with death, he lost all sense of propriety and reached out, wanting to pull out his gun!
Liang Chengshanbed his bangs back, sighing quietly.
He had stopped Kenny because Xie He was at a disadvantage. But Xie He still provoked the other. Therefore, Liang Chengshan hadn’t intended to protect him again. It would only make his subordinates frustrated if he were to appear too biased. He had thus decided to let Xie He suffer a bit.
Who would have expected that Xie He would exceed his expectations. Even without his hands, he had nearly killed Kenny. Liang Chengshan could also tell that even with this, Xie He had been holding back.
Liang Chengshan really appreciated Xie He. This was the wild and dangerous beauty he liked. No matter what, he was always so dazzling he couldn’t look away. But...he still wasn’t very well-behaved.
Liang Chengshan muttered to himself and then said to Xie He in a cold voice, “Come inside with me.”
Xie He didn’t hesitate to get off Kenny’s body when he heard Liang Chengshan speak. He followed the other in, eyes downcast, and looked wronged. “Are you angry? He’s the one who provoked me first.”
Liang Chengshan didn’t n on indulging him. His gaze was slightly cold. “I had stopped him already.”
Xie He was silent. He then looked up, frustration shing through his captivating eyes. Suddenly, he said, “He’s definitely talked badly about me in front of you. He looks forward to the day he can drive me away from your side. Otherwise, why would you doubt me so quickly?”
Liang Chengshan was startled. For a moment, when he saw the frustration in Xie He’s eyes, he almost believed him....
The young man acted like a hunting dog that had been spurned by his master and was worried about losing his favour. Now, without his master’s affection and trust, he wondered if other people were vilifying him. But in reality, Kenny would never be able to influence Liang Chengshan’s decisions.
Liang Chengshan reached out to caress Xie He’s soft hair, a trace of pity shing through his eyes before disappearing very quickly.
【Ding, the target Liang Chengshan’s Favourability Value +2. The current Favourability Value is 72.】
Liang Chengshan could not deny that his fondness for this person was ever-growing. But...he could not indulge in him because of this. This was because he could never forget that this deferential young man, who seemed to have no faults, had turned around and tried to take his life with a determined and callous gaze in his eyes.
When he was obedient andpliant, he would make him feel loved and worshipped. But in the next moment...he would not hesitate to be hostile, ruthless, wild and difficult to tame.
Liang Chengshan said, “Turn around.”
Xie He was confused but he turned around anyway. He then felt his lower half meet with the cool air. Liang Chengshan pulled open a drawer and pulled something out, inserting it inside of Xie He. He then helped Xie He put his pants back on and then said in a dull tone, “Now we can go..”
Xie He pursed his lips, a tantalizing, watery light at the edges of his eyes. He nced at Liang Chengshan, grievance filing his eyes, but the other continued making his way over to Kenny.
Being looked at like that by Xie He, Liang Chengshan nearly wanted to press Xie He down right there and do him once. However, he had business to attend to. He only gave Xie He a frosty look. He had no intentions of withdrawing.
Xie He knew that Liang Chengshan would not change his mind. He could only follow the other out. Every step was torturous.
Kenny stood outside. He had seen them go in, only toe out a whileter. Xie He looked dejected and his steps were unsteady. Although he didn’t know what happened, he guessed that Liang Chengshan had punished Xie He. His mood thus became better. It seemed like Boss hadn’t be muddleheaded. He knew that this traitor could not be indulged.
He didn’t dare provoke Xie He, so he ignored him, protecting Liang Chengshan as the other left.
Liang Chengshan had an appointment with Mr. Cohen of the XZ media group to discuss things at a restaurant. Liang Chengshan didn’t just run shady businesses, he also had many legalpanies as well. He had investments. Today, he was speaking to Cohen about the other’stest movie that was to be shot. This was a good moneyundering technique. Liang Chengshan really liked it. He could spend a lot of money and then get it all back clean.
Xie He had a coat on. That way no one could see his hands behind his back. His willpower was also quite good. Although the toy’s vibrations were very strong, he gritted his teeth and didn’t make a sound.
Mr. Cohen was a very gentlemanly-looking elderly man. He had cooperated with Liang Chengshan several times before. For him, partnering with Liang Chengshan was a win-win situation. This was because blockbuster movie production costs were very high these days. They could easily reach several hundreds of millions of dors. Moreover, there were certain risks involved with them. It was not easy to get a rich investor.
When he saw that Liang Chengshan hade, he ardently shook his hand and then asked him to sit. He then introduced the youngdy next to him.
The project this time was a sci-fi blockbuster. The female lead was a female idol who was currently very popr, Jessie. She had flowing blonde curls and was sweet and charming. Although she was a Westerner, her skin was very nice. She looked like a graceful beauty.
Jessie was not unfamiliar with these kinds of asions. She didn’t feel conflicted at all. Instead, she was excited. She didn’t mind being a mistress for someone like Liang Chengshan, who had money and influence, wasn’t that old, and was quite a captivating gentleman.
If Liang Chengshan liked her, she wouldn’t have to worry about investments or movie offers anymore.
Jessie gave Liang Chengshan a graceful smile. “Hello.”
Liang Chengshan smiled back and nodded his head politely. He did not speak much. He knew what Cohen was trying to do by bringing Jessie here. If it were before, he might have had her for the night if he had fancied her. But now, when he thought of Xie He’s delicious taste, he found himself devoid of interest in anyone else. They were all the same. He found them dull.
But Jessie didn’t seem to n on giving up. In the beginning, she still actedl well-behaved, but after having some alcohol, she began to glue herself to Liang Chengshan’s side. When Liang Chengshan smelled her perfume, he absentmindedly turned to look at Xie He.
Xie He leaned against the wall. His head was lowered and he wasn’t moving. He wasn’t paying Liang Chengshan any attention whatsoever.
Suddenly, Liang Chengshan felt a bit unhappy. Did Xie He not see what Jessie was trying to do? It looked like he didn’t care who Liang Chengshan slept with.... When he thought of this, Liang Chengshan thought that he must be going crazy. When faced with Xie He, preposterous thoughts would form in his head.
Liang Chengshan wasn’t in a good mood. He had no interest in getting involved with a celebrity. He gave Jessie a cold look.
Jessie’s expression froze when she met Liang Chengshan’s cold eyes. She was terrified. She had heard about Liang Chengshan’s background before. Seeing that he really wasn’t interested in her, she could only back off helplessly. She didn’t dare continue to pester him.
Cohen became curious upon seeing this. He thought Jessie was an otherworldly beauty. No man could resist her. He had thought that Liang Chengshan would be interested in her as soon as heid eyes on her. Who would have expected that he would reject her? He couldn’t help but ask, “Liang, you don’t like her? Or is it because of the partnership that time....”
Liang Chengshan smiled. “No, the partnership was wonderful. This has nothing to do with her. I’ve just been trying to behave in a proper manner to improve my character as ofte.”
Cohen: “....”
Xie He really hadn’t been paying attention. But regardless, he really didn’t care about Liang Chengshan’s sex life. Right now, he was busy with himself. He couldn’t even make any provoking remarks. He just really wanted to lie down on a bed somewhere and not think about anything.
【Xie He：To tell the truth, I don’t really care if Uncle Liang wants to y with me, but it’s not very good to make me stand in punishment. I graduated years ago. Besides, corporal punishment is inhumane.】
【444：......】
【Xie He：If he doesn’t finish up soon, I can onlyy down.】
【444：...Why don’t you keep going for a little longer?】
【Xie He：Hehe. ?? 】
Liang Chengshan wanted to punish Xie He, so he didn’t pay him any attention. He took his time, discussing business. It took almost half an afternoon before he and Cohen finalized the arrangement. Both sides were very satisfied. Cohen took Jessie with him and left.
Xie He could not bear it anymore. He was relieved when he saw that it was over. He gnashed his teeth and slowly headed out. But after making it to the underground parking lot, his legs gave out and he fell to the ground.
Liang Chengshan had kept an eye on Xie He the whole time. He admired Xie He’s ability to persevere for so long without making any noise. He reached out to carry Xie He into the car’s backseat.
Xie He’s upper halfid against Liang Chengshan’s chest. He parted his lips and couldn’t help but moan, both his eyes misty. He said in a hoarse voice, “I was wrong.”
Liang Chengshan cocked a brow up. “Oh?”
Xie He looked at him, appearing wronged. “I will be good from now on. I won’t beat up anyone so casually.”
Liang Chengshan smiled, his deep eyes peering into the other’s. “You were half right. Whether you beat others isn’t important. What’s important is that you’re obedient.”
Liang Chengshan brought Xie He home and f*cked him once ruthlessly. He then threw the thing that was inside Xie He onto the ground, a satisfied expression on his face.
Xie He had thought that he would go crazy from it all. In the end, he couldn’t move an inch. Although his body wasn’t delicate, Liang Chengshan was still able to do him so hard he felt like he had died ande back to life.
..............................
From that day on, Liang Chengshan didn’t shut Xie He in the house all day again. He would asionally take him out, especially if he were to go on a business trip.
Liang Chengshan would not be overcautious or indecisive when there was something he wanted.
Right now, what he wanted was Xie He, so he possessed him without any hesitation and ced him by his side. Furthermore, when he was with Xie He, he felt younger. He once again felt yearning. He didn’t hate this feeling. Rather, he loved it so much he couldn’t break free of it.
Since leaving Liang Chengshan’s home that day, Liang Ze had been mulling over how to go about inquiring about Xie He. He was Liang Chengshan’s son, so there were people willing to suck up to him. But Liang Chengshan had ordered this information to be locked down, so no one was willing to tell him much. They just said that Xie He had let a traitor go and that Liang Chengshan had been furious.
Liang Ze was skeptical though. He had known Xie He for a rather long time. He didn’t want to believe that Xie He would betray them. Moreover, if Xie He was really a traitor, how could Liang Chengshan spare his life? He even kept him by his side and showed special favour towards him. He had heard a lot about Liang Chengshan and Xie He being together.
With Liang Chengshan’s history of using cruel methods against traitors, there was no way he’d be this tolerant if Xie He were a traitor.
Liang Ze hated this. He thought that Liang Chengshan had taken a liking to Xie He but Xie He hadn’t been willing, and that was why Liang Chengshan had used such a method against him. This was something he believed Liang Chengshan was entirely capable of doing.
Today, Liang Ze heard that Liang Chengshan had brought Xie He to thepany, so he rushed over. Liang Chengshan had never given him a chance to see Xie He, so Liang Ze had spent a lot of time to work out a n. He would take advantage of the short period of time when Liang Chengshan was out of the office and sneak in. That way, he’ll finally be able to see Xie He again.
Liang Ze’s chest was full ofplex emotions. This was the first person he had ever fallen in love with but it was so hard just to see him.
He had never regretted sending Xie He to Liang Chengshan’s side as much as he did now. He shouldn’t have listened to Xie He. If he hadn’t let Xie He go over, he would still be his.
