The Kings

Let"s see, the next closest hotel is almost twenty minutes away from here. Ruby Courtyard Hotel is the only hotel in this area because the owner owns most of the land around here. It was to eliminate compet.i.tion, and it worked splendidly. Most of the tourist will book with Ruby Courtyard versus a hotel twenty minutes away. Plus, Ruby Courtyard has excellent rating and reviews by prestige people.

Ruby Courtyard Hotel wasn"t just a place where you book a room for a night. This place has casinos, garden viewing, movie theater, and etc. The hotel even has a shopping center with high brand names, it was created to target wealthy clients. There are so many things you can do here without having to leave at all.

"Did you want to shower first or..." Mu Yi closed the door behind him, "Together?"

Oh G.o.d, what happened to the cold, indifferent demon, Mu Yi? I believe I"m better off spending the night in Tang Liang"s room. At least my body will be safe there.

"I"m going back to my annoying nephew number three," I brushed past Mu Yi. h.e.l.l, I"ll be delivering myself to the devil by staying in this room.

"No," Mu Yi slammed the door that was barely opened by Anong, shut. He trapped her between his long arms not giving her any s.p.a.ce to escape.

That took me by surprise.

"Scare?" Mu Yi leaned in closer, pushing Anong against the door more.

"Haha..." I nervously laugh, trying to keep myself composed. Ohh, we are entering the danger zone! The danger radar was going off in my head repeatedly. "C-Ceo Mu, let"s not do this now..."

I was too afraid to turn around. It might be more dangerous to face Mu Yi than have my back towards him, I think.

Mu Yi frowned when Anong changed her way of calling him, it was like she was playing with his feelings. One second she was calling him Yi then turn around to address him as CEO Mu. Making them sound distant and not familiar with one another.

"Later then?" Mu Yi teased, pushing her even closer to the door. Maybe, she"ll take the hint he doesn"t like the way she called him. "In an hour? In a minute? Or in a second? I prefer seconds."

"Ahhh!" I yelped being pushed unexpectedly. Naturally, I resisted his second push. How did "let"s not do this now" turn into hours straight to seconds? It means we should never do this now or ever from the way I said it!

We were only inches apart before we were literally touching each other. Talk about touching, I felt something hard against my bottom.

Immediately, Mu Yi released Anong from being caged between his arms, "Stupid."

"Huh? Who did you call stupid!" I whip around to face Mu Yi head on. I was smart by choosing to leave, okay!

Mu Yi lightly flicked Anong"s forehead, "What naughty thoughts are going through that small head of yours."

Naughty thoughts? It wasn"t like I want to have these thoughts, but your action these past few days justify all my running away. Except for the first time I ran from him on the reunion day with my ex-cla.s.smates. I was shocked to see Mu Yi, so instinctively my feet just took off.

"It wouldn"t look good for Tang Liang"s image if you were spotted going in and out from his room." Mu Yi crossed his arms, it was to prevent him from losing control.

He made it sound like he was concern about Tang Liang"s image and giving her advice on how to stay away from paparazzi"s eyes. When really he was really trying to convince her to stay with him.

"True," I murmured, not being suspicious of Mu Yi"s explanation. He wasn"t wrong. Truthfully, it wouldn"t be a big deal if Tang Liang"s aunt was spotted in his room. The only problem is that no one knows I am his aunt, and any pictures of me going to his room will be blown out of proportion. Another unnecessary scandal. "But..."

I try to find any valid reason to not share a room with Mu Yi. It might be me who jumps on him tonight... Kidding.

"No. But." Mu Yi forced Anong into the bathroom to take a shower. He didn"t give her another chance to find a reason to leave before shutting the door on her.

Woah, this bathroom had almost everything I need to make this my for "tonight bedroom". There is the sink for water, a wooden bench for the bed, and a bunch of towels for a blanket and pillows. Well d.a.m.n, might as well sleep in the bathroom. The safest place in this entire room right now.

Outside the door, Mu Yi flopped down on the bed taking in deep breaths. With Anong standing in front of him defensively, he wasn"t sure if he was able to control himself. He couldn"t believe what a wild animal he was whenever Anong was around him. No, the bed was making him have random "thoughts" again.

So, Mu Yi went out on the balcony to let in the cold summer air. He realized he made the wrong move earlier when he kept pushing her against the door. His lower part was alright at first when he had lightly touched her, only when she resisted the second push. It got worst, coming in full touch with her behind.

Mu Yi groaned, leaning against the balcony and covering his face with his hands, "s.h.i.t."
