Chapter 246: What Is This? Moral Kidnapping

Chu Luo and Li Yan went upstairs to take a shower.
Li Yan said to her, “You sleep first. I’ll go to the study. Don’t wait for me if it gets late.”
Chu Luo knew what he was going to do and nodded at him.
Li Yan went to the study to deal with tonight’s matter, so she took a tablet and studied foreign languages.
When it was almost eleven o’clock, she received a call from Princess Anya.
Anya asked insincerely on the phone, “Chu, did I ruin your harmonious time with Li by calling you at this time?”
Chu Luo snorted and said straightforwardly, “If there’s anything, just say it. Don’t hold me up from studying.”
Anya was stunned. “You’re still studying at this time?”
Chu Luo replied, “Of course. Am I as free as you?”
Anya: “…”
Deep breaths came from the other end of the line. After a few seconds, Anya said, “Chu, you’re so not adorable.”
Chu Luo: “If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up.”
Anya: “Who said there’s nothing?”
Then, she said, “Has your cosmetics company started operating? The skincare products you gave me last time were really too awesome. I used it with my mother when I went back. We finished using them in just a month. I wanted to go to your company to buy it, but the door was closed. Hasn’t your company started operating?”
Chu Luo snorted in dissatisfaction and said, “It’s opening tomorrow.”
Anya was stunned again. “Since you’re opening tomorrow, why aren’t you advertising it first?”
Chu Luo said, “It’s all the same if we start advertising tomorrow.”
Anya’s tone was complicated. “Chu, I really wonder if you know how to do business. How can you advertise on the day you sell your products? Aren’t you worried that you won’t be able to sell them?”
Chu Luo said, “You don’t have to worry about that.”
Anya: “I don’t care. I just want to know when your products can be bought. I really need them now.”
Chu Luo smiled. “Help me do something now and I’ll get someone to send two sets to you.”
Anya immediately raised her guard. “What is it? I’ve said it before. I won’t do anything that will ruin my princess image.”
Chu Luo curled her lips. “Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let you do such a thing.”
Anya asked, “What is it, then?”
Chu Luo: “At 10 AM US time, our company will have a product launch. You can just be an invited guest.”
Anya was displeased. “I’m not going. As a princess, how can I do free labor for you?”
Chu Luo was silent for two seconds before saying, “I’ll take care of your and the Queen’s cosmetics from now on.”
Anya: “I’m not someone who lacks that bit of money.”
Chu Luo said, “You have to think carefully. I’m saying that I’m taking care of it, not that my company’s taking care of it. I have a beauty formula here that can make a person in her fifties or sixties look like she’s 30, and there are definitely no side effects. Are you sure you don’t want it?”
Anya stopped talking. It was obvious that she was tempted.
Chu Luo added, “If you like, I can give you 5% of my cosmetics company.”
Anya: “You’re so generous.”
Chu Luo said, “Definitely not… You have to be the ambassador for the company’s cosmetics products. Moreover, it’s only 5% of the US.”
Anya took a deep breath. After a while, she couldn’t help but growl at her, “Am I only worth 5% of the shares? And furthermore, only the US?!”
Chu Luo said, “Never mind if you don’t agree. Goodbye.”
Chu Luo hung up and called Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan was obviously very busy. After answering the call, Chu Luo first heard the sound of footsteps. Then, she heard his voice. “Little Boss.”
Chu Luo told him, “Get ready. Anya is coming soon.”
Chen Xuan responded and said to her, “The media have all been arranged by the Blazing Glory Corporation. I’ll upload the advertisement you shot.”
The product advertisement that Chu Luo, Tang Zhiyun, and the other three had filmed was already ready and waiting to be released at the branding press conference.
Chen Xuan’s tone carried a trace of a smile. “Yesterday, the regional general manager of the Blazing Glory Corporation even contacted me. When the time comes, they will publicize our products on ‘Battle of Lightyears’ for free.”
To a game that had reached the height that “Battle of Lightyears” had, there was no need to accept any advertisements to earn extra money. Chen Xuan couldn’t help but think: ‘Master Li really dotes on Little Boss. He probably can’t stand seeing her worry a little.’
When Chu Luo heard what he said, the corners of her lips curled up.
The two of them spoke for almost half an hour before hanging up.
There was still more than an hour until ten in the US. Chu Luo didn’t intend to wait until then.
Seeing that Li Yan wasn’t back yet, she got off the bed and walked towards the study.
Li Yan was sitting in front of his computer and staring at the computer screen. His aura was so powerful that it made one’s heart palpitate.
The moment the door opened, he looked up and the viciousness in his eyes disappeared.
“Why aren’t you asleep?”
Li Yan stood up and walked up to Chu Luo.
Chu Luo’s heart surged at the thought of what he had done for her. She wrapped her arm around his neck and tiptoed to kiss him on the lips.
This was the first time Chu Luo had taken the initiative. Li Yan narrowed his eyes and asked in a hoarse voice, “Little thing, do you know the consequences of teasing me at this time?”
Without giving her a chance to speak, he pressed his large hand against the back of her head and lowered his head to find her lips.
…
Only after a while did he let go of her, who was panting.
Chu Luo leaned her head into his arms and asked, “How much longer do you need?”
Li Yan looked at the top of her head and lowered his head to kiss her hair. He lowered his voice and asked, “Why? Can’t sleep without me hugging you, huh?”
Chu Luo felt the heat emanating from his body and patted his shoulder. She said, “Hurry up and finish your work. I’m going to sleep.”
“Mm.” Li Yan kissed her cheek again before saying, “At most half an hour more.”
Chu Luo looked up at him. “Who sent the people tonight?”
“There were people from the Qin family and others.”
“Mm?” Chu Luo thought of Duanmu Tian, whom she had seen in front of the stage. She told him about it and guessed, “Do you think the Duanmu family is involved?”
“The Duanmu family didn’t participate. But Duanmu Tian and Duanmu Rui must have participated.”
Chu Luo looked at him in confusion.
Li Yan said in a very indifferent tone, “The Duanmu family only has three male grandchildren in the second generation. Duanmu Rui and Duanmu Tian are biological brothers. Ever since Old Master saved me, they’ve felt that I should risk my life for Old Master and give all of Blazing Glory to the Duanmu family.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she frowned in displeasure. “What do you call this? Moral kidnapping.”
Li Yan’s lips curled into a cold smile. “It’s possible that they don’t know. Back then, when Old Master saved me, I told him that as long as he doesn’t touch my bottom line in the future, I won’t hesitate to help him if he has any instructions. The others have nothing to do with me.”
“Then… in the past few years, did they ask you to do anything, using the fact that Old Master had saved your life?”
“No.” Even if there had been such instances, he had quietly made them pay back double.
After a few times, they had realized that something was amiss and stopped looking for him.
Right now, the most they could do was harp on the fact that he owed Old Master a favor.
Chu Luo could guess what Li Yan meant.
She wriggled out of his embrace. “I’m going to sleep first. Hurry up.”
When Li Yan heard this, he let out a joyful chuckle.
After which, he leaned over and asked in a low and hoarse voice by her ear, “If you’re not asleep after I’m done, can I ask for some benefits?”
Chu Luo blushed and punched his chest before turning to leave.
As for whether Chu Luo was asleep when Li Yan returned to the bedroom after he was done with his work, one would know when they saw that the person hadn’t woken up by seven in the morning.
Li Yan sat on the edge of the bed and placed a glass of water on the bedside table. He wiped Chu Luo’s face which was red from sleeping and called out, “Luoluo.”
Chu Luo was disturbed from her dream and shrunk her head into the blanket.
Li Yan chuckled and lowered his head to whisper in her ear, “It’s seven o’clock. Don’t forget, you’re meeting the others at the technology building at around seven o’clock.”
The person on the bed still had her eyes closed, but three seconds later, they suddenly opened and she sat up.
Li Yan looked down with a scorching gaze.
Only then did Chu Luo realize that she was naked.
She quickly pushed his face to the side and, with her other hand, took the clothes he had prepared for her to quickly put on.
After putting on her clothes, she felt thirsty and saw the warm water.
Li Yan handed her the warm water.
Chu Luo drank and quickly got off the bed to wash up.
It took only a few minutes before the two of them were sitting at the dining table.
Li Yan said, “I’ll be very busy for the next few days too.”
Chu Luo nodded and didn’t ask him what he would be busy with.
She remembered the product launch in the US last night. After breakfast, she called Chen Xuan.
The moment Chen Xuan picked up the call, he said excitedly, “Little Boss, our product launch was very successful, especially our advertisement. At this time, the views have already reached tens of millions.”
Chu Luo was a little surprised. “So many people clicked?”
It had to be known that the product launch had only been for a few hours, and the advertisement had been released in “Battle of Lightyears” for less than five hours.
“That’s right,” Chen Xuan said. “We don’t have enough operators left. The number of people who want to buy products has exceeded our expectations, especially from the upper-class society of the US. Many people have already placed orders.”
Chu Luo smiled. “Mm, if too many people buy it, limit the purchase and appointments.”
Chen Xuan: “Okay.”
The two of them spoke for a while more before hanging up.
Chu Luo went upstairs to collect something, then went to the technology building to meet up with Tang Zhiyun and the others.
