Chapter 137: Requests and Promises!

Now it wasn't like the two of them went for it the moment he arrived home—far from it. The CEO did say wait. Similar to most functioning and well-adjusted adults, Li Yang found himself getting welcomed by his daughter and the smell of something cooking in the kitchen.

This would have to take priority first before anything else that might have occured.

"Uncle Yang, you're back!" Chunhua ran up to him, not exactly jumping into his arms, but a warm welcome that had been non-existent in his pre-System days. "Welcome back home!"

"Thank you."

Even in the past times that his brother visited and dwelled in his house, it was still incomparable to right now. Light, sound and life filled the place to such an extent it wasn't fair to compare it to before.

"Uncle Yang, where's big sis Taiga?"

Li Yang blinked. Of course she knew that the Tigress Spirit was around, but he didn't expect her to look for the spirit. "She's outside and working. Let's not disturb her for now. How is your fish?"

"Pinkie ate the pearl in one huge gulp!" Chunhua copied the fish's o-shape mouth and then motioned animatedly. "And then its scales started glowing like rainbows!"

"I see, that's great." He needed to check if it was still normal or it was an evolution. A monster evolution type of fish? He would figure it out later.

Chunhua shyly said. "Maybe we need a bigger fish bowl, Uncle Yang?"

"Perhaps an aquarium, or I can have a fish pond created outside of the house…" And explicitly warn Taiga to protect it at all costs.

"Will Pinkie have other fish friends?"

"Hmm, we can see if Pinkie likes to have friends. Maybe once it, er, she is bigger." Even if the child didn't know who he truly was, she was more than happy to give suggestions.

Li Yang himself would have thought back thrice before speaking back to an adult in a situation like this if he had been a child. This outspoken and happy go lucky nature of hers was something he wished to continue.

"Dinner's ready!" his brother called out from the kitchen.

Chunhua grabbed and tugged his hand. And thus the family would have dinner together. Li Yang brought out some for Taiga. The thought that this was a bit close to feeding an outside pet came to Li Yang's mind, but he didn't say it aloud.

Taiga would be ready and prepared for any seconds he could have given her.

And though she may have insinuated something right after eating—

"Taiga is still hungry. Will you feed her something else?" She was looking at him like some piece of meat to be consumed. 

He shook his head. "I still have to wash your plate and I can't stay out for too long without arousing suspicion."

"Can't Taiga sneak into your room?"

Li Yang stared at her. "Are you in your heat or mating season?" Somehow it felt like there were still aspects of her that were very primal and attuned to her instincts. She once called him boring and smelled like bamboo but now she wanted to jump on him.

"No?" She tilted her head at him. "But you promised! We can lock the door so Chunhua can't get in."

She even gave him a solution in the event he brought up his daughter.

It wasn't like he didn't want it. The time and tension from back in the car might have ended and faded now, but it wasn't hard to get back in the mood. 

Especially when she was incessantly begging him for it. Despite being of feline ancestry—she was giving him a doe-eyed look now. Her hair swayed slightly in the night's chill wind and she was giving him a pout. Her lips accentuated by such a motion.

Taiga stepped closer to him and hugged his arm, deliberately brushing the side of her breast on him. The warm and soft swell of her chest readily pressed on him. "Don't you want to relax after work, Bossman? This is free of charge too!"

It might as well have been included in how much it cost to have her as a bodyguard, but he chose not to say a word.

She already had a certain amount of confidence in trying to seduce him. Or perhaps she still felt like it was included in her job repertoire.

He hoped it wasn't the case.

"I have other things I need to do, so we have to be quick." he said at last. It didn't seem like she'd stop bothering him if things didn't go her way tonight. 

"If you're quick, we have no problems!" She grinned at him. 

"And sound-proof." Li Yang added. He had no idea what kind of person Taiga was in bed, whether or not she was the type to squirm quietly or let out her voice so it was best to be prepared.

Taiga stifled a laugh and waved a hand. "The Veil is a quick solution. Nobody will see and hear a thing."

"I think Chunhua can see it right past it." 

"Oh. She's good." 

The Tigress Spirit looked thoughtful at the mention of it and even impressed. It was as if his daughter's skills were off a different set than a cultivator's and couldn't be detected.

"Do you wish to back out then?" he asked.

"No." She gave him a childish pout. "Stuff like this is natural, Bossman! No harm in letting kids know what it's like."

The idea of getting caught by his own daughter made him balk slightly. And yet with some awe, he said. "You have no hint of shame."

"Nothing's shameful!" She gave him a cat-like grin and then waved. "Race you to the room then, Bossman! I'll take charge of the bathroom too to smell extra fresh and nice!"

In this instance, she might turn out to be the only one he'd take to bed.

Author's Note: This was definitely not planned. But if the story demands it to happen, it shall. Kit-kat, have a plot break to get another "plot" tomorrow xD It only took us about less than twenty chapters to resume to smut. I wonder if this is the magic number or less is more?
