Chapter 85: Spiraling Emotions
” Ahh! Jia Hao, I didn’t know you were taking a bath.” Su Lan was a bit surprised when she saw Jia Hao in towel once again.
” Haha, Why are you getting shy, Sister Lan?” Jia Hao chuckled lightly. ” It’s not like we didn’t see each other naked.”
” Oh gosh! Hao’er…Why you must make me remember that?” Su Lan gently berated Jia Hao as she blushed.
” Well, My brain always remembers beautiful sceneries.”
” Hmph, You are getting quite cheeky, Aren’t you?” Su Lan let out a small laugh before continuing.
” Actually, I wanted to ask you about something. Are you free tomorrow?”
” Why? Does Sister Lan wishes to go shopping with me?” Jia Hao jested.
” How do you know?” Su Lan was surprised.
” Huh?”
Jia Hao almost choked on his saliva when he realized what he asked jokingly was actually true.
” Um, I just wanted to take you to shopping and buy some clothes for you, Consider this as a treat from me.”
Jia Hao smiled lightly as he looked at Su Lan. ” Sister Lan, Do you think I am still annoyed with you for Li Bei’s matter?”
” I…” Su Lan lowered her gaze as she got caught.
” Haah, Sister Lan, Do you think I am such a petty minded individual?” Jia Hao laughed lightly. ” What happened, I don’t care about it anymore.”
” It’s not about that only.” Su Lan smiled. ” You also gave me such a precious gift like that song. I need to pay back, right?”
” So, How about tomorrow? I believe you are free?”
” Actually…I am thinking of taking Xing’er with me tomorrow.” Jia Hao didn’t hide. ” You know, She became a bit mad because I didn’t take her along with me.”
” Ah…Since that’s the case, we shall plan some other day.” Su Lan hurriedly spoke, But Jia Hao waved his hands.
” Nope, I don’t think so. How about we all three go out together? I am sure Xing’er won’t have any problem.”
” But…”
” No buts, Sister Lan. You are coming with us, and that’s final.” Jia Hao declared, making Su Lan nod.
” Fine, As you say, Hao’er.”

The next day, Jia Hao was sleeping peacefully. However, Su Xing’er walked inside.
” Jia Hao, Aren’t you going to come with me to the Southern Edge Dojo?”
” Mmm…Why are you waking me up…”
With a yawn, Jia Hao got up, rubbing his eyes leisurely. Hearing Su Xing’er, He realized he didn’t have any reason to go to Southern Edge Dojo since he already finished the daily quest there.
” Eh…Not today, I am not feeling quite good.” Jia Hao fell back on his bed.
” This brat…” Su Xing’er sighed as she turned around and left.
After a while, Jia Hao couldn’t sleep anymore. So, he got up and freshened up. When he went downstairs, he saw Su Yunqi was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching morning news on TV.
” Good Morning, Aunt Su.”
” Morning, Hao’er.” Su Yunqi smiled back. ” You didn’t go with Xing’er today?”
” Ehh, I was just feeling a bit tired. That’s all.” Jia Hao replied with a shrug, sitting beside Su Yunqi.” So, How is the business going, Aunt Su?”
” Oh, It’s smoother than ever.” Su Yunqi seemed to be excited when she was talking about her business.
” Recently, We got a few big orders, and if nothing goes wrong, we will be able to get two years’ worth of turnover at once.”
” And what about Li Tao?” Jia Hao asked in a curious voice. ” Is there any hindrance from him?”
” I won’t say no…His company is secretly trying to sabotage us.” Su Yunqi grumbled. ” However, They are doing it in such a discreet way that we have no proof.”
” Don’t worry, Aunt Su.” Jia Hao squeezed the palms of Su Yunqi gently as he spoke in a confident voice. ” I will try my best to solve Li Tao’s problem for once and all.”
Su Yunqi’s cheeks turned a bit pink as she looked at Jia Hao’s handsome appearance. However, she couldn’t help but be concerned about Jia Hao.
” Hao’er, I don’t think you should meddle in adults’ affairs. I don’t want to put a lot of burden on you.” Su Yunqi shook her head.
” I mean, You should rather spend your youth out there, No? Partying, hanging out with friends, making memories…”
” Aunt Su, I can still help you while maintaining my enjoyment, no?” Jia Hao spoke with a light smile. “Besides, I don’t like seeing you in trouble.”
” I love you, After all.”
” Oh….Eh? EHHH?”
Su Yunqi’s face froze as her eyes turned wide, looking at Jia Hao with shock.
” Oh! I…I mean… I love you as…Um, You understand! It’s not in…That way!”
Jia Hao feigned ignorance as he hurriedly tried to change the topic.
However, inwardly, he couldn’t help but praise his acting.
‘ Haah, Who in this heaven and earth would able to resist my charm?’
Su Yunqi also turned away as she rubbed her blushed cheeks. ” Oh, Hao’er, I understand. You don’t need to explain much.”
” Ah, Right, Do you want something to drink? Let me prepare some hot cocoa for you.”
‘ Oh god, Did Jia Hao just confess to me?’ Su Yunqi held the edge of the cooking counter as her heart was beating faster and faster.
‘ N-No, He just said it’s not…That kind of I love You. Yeah, He must be thinking of me as his family…’
‘ But…What if he isn’t? What if…’
She suddenly remembered the stained boxers of Jia Hao which she found in the laundry. She knew that Jia Hao had seen her fingering in her room.
Not to mention, her jerking him off at Lin Tao’s party, Su Yunqi felt like her mind was falling into a spiral of emotions.
‘ N-No. I must clarify our situation. I guess…I need to wait for the right moment.’
‘ Haah…How good it would be…No, Yunqi! What are you thinking about?’

Meanwhile, Jia Hao finished the hot cocoa and went out. Since there is still a lot of time before he takes Su Xing’er and Su Lan for shopping, he decides to address other important matters.
Suddenly, his phone received a message, about a meeting in a small cafe.
