Rarely affectionate

Lang Bai developed the habit of not reading the entertainment section of the newspaper during this year.

The reason was that it happened the morning after his birthday party.As he was sitting at the breakfast table, propping his hangover head on one hand, and flipping through the morning paper with the other, he suddenly heard poof—!

A mouthful of tea was sprayed out.

The headline on the entertainment page is unusually eye-catching: "Absolute secret, adopted son becomes biological! The Yuan family group will face a core power change!!"

Then in the gorgeous first line, it starts like this:

"When Mr. Yuan, who was raised in a deep boudoir and rarely seen by others, appeared at the birthday party, we have reason to believe that he has been well-bred for a long time. The 'adopted son' A Bai, who is loved by his father, speaks fluent English, She accepted the media interview with a smile on her face, she was gentle and polite from beginning to end, as beautiful and quiet as a young girl."

Lang Bai's first reaction was that this newspaper definitely has a grudge against me!You must have accidentally offended them before!

But when he moved his eyes to the media photos, he himself felt speechless.The gorgeous oblique angle shows a close-up of his half body, except for the slightly shorter hair, the outline of the smiling face...

I don't think so, but when he and Yuan Cheng are standing in the same photo, the contrast is not so obvious...

Lang Bai touched his face, very disapproving.Although he looks like his mother, his facial features are very sharp and profound, and his contours are soft only when he smiles falsely at the media.It was only because of the problem with the angle of the snapshot that he appeared to be "beautiful and quiet like a girl"!

Lang Bai put down the morning paper blankly, and kept making psychological hints to himself "I've forgotten about this".

However, on the second night, he suddenly found that many small newspapers and online entertainment reviews had reprinted that report!Although the emphasis was on the vibration of the Yuan family's power center, and the girly comment was just a copy of the original text, but the overwhelming repetitive information stimulated Lang Bai's sensitive nerves again and again...

Lang Bai stayed up all night that night because he couldn't sleep.

He tossed and turned on the bed, finally got out of bed in pain, and began to read the boring financial statistics of the Skull and Bones.

A sensitive and suspicious personality like Lang Bai is very easily influenced by outside comments.The subtle stimuli from the outside world will leave a deep impression on his mind, making him force himself to recall over and over again, and then he is repeatedly stimulated.

He himself is a person who is very easy to read other people's minds, and he is also a little narrow-minded and very open-minded.This kind of personality seems a bit neurotic to ordinary people, although it is not serious, it will make Lang Bai feel very unpleasant.

He took the most direct way to solve this problem-never read the entertainment section of the newspaper again.

Since then, he has developed a strange habit. Before reading the newspaper every day, he would ask Yuan Cheng to pull out the entertainment page, and only leave him the social and financial page. After making sure that there is no sensitive information, he will start reading.

Yuan Cheng couldn't help but laugh at his habit.

The white one started amidst the chaos.

An adopted son who has not been given the Yuan surname and is not yet an adult has nothing to do, but an adult descendant of the Yuan family has more responsibilities.Although he has not officially taken over the group affairs, the various things in the family are not worrying at all.

First of all, his fund account as a family member was finally freely controlled by himself. Yuan Cheng knew that he had no reason to be in charge of his youngest son's financial situation, so he could only ask him to submit his own credit card statement every month.Immediately afterwards, he was allocated a small house within the scope of the Yuan family's mansion. If he wanted and Yuan Cheng agreed, he could move in by himself, far away from his father.

Moreover, whether Yuan Cheng is willing or not, he must let the justifiable young master Yuan take over part of the group's affairs.Because Lang Bai was going back to the United States to go to school, Yuan Cheng allowed him to participate in the operation of the arms route from the United States to Mexico, but asked him to notify his father before making a decision.

Lang Bai was noncommittal about this.

Yuan Cheng knew that he probably couldn't control him, but what did it matter?In just one quarter, more than [-] million funds have been circulated from the United States. The huge and complicated operating system is like a giant, and even experienced mall veterans may not be able to win it all.

Lang Baicai, how much does he know?How much will he do?In the end, I didn't have to turn to my father for help!

Power is not just given when you say it, or taken when you say it.If you don't have that much ability, you won't be able to wield that much power.If you want to be brave and have to force yourself to do everything, you will either make a mess of everything in the end, or you will exhaust yourself to death.

He is still too tender, Yuan Cheng thought.Just like a bird that just took off, it can't wait to flap its immature wings, but after all it has to follow its parents to fly.

Lang Bai did not waste much time in Hong Kong. After the genealogy matters were arranged, he immediately prepared to leave for the United States to continue his studies.

On the night before leaving, Yuan Cheng helped him pack his luggage.Originally, Yuan Cheng didn't need to do this kind of thing at all, but since he insisted, Lang Bai couldn't refuse, so he could only sit by the side without saying a word, watching Yuan Cheng help him fold the clothes one by one with great interest. packing.

"You know? It's snowing in New Haven. I've ordered a coat for you and delivered it to your apartment at school. I've had someone prepare a waterproof long windbreaker and boots on the plane. When you get off the plane Remember to put it on."

Lang Bai's voice was obedient, but his expression was indifferent: "Yes, father."

Yuan Cheng glanced at him, and suddenly took out a pair of underwear from the suitcase: "Are you wearing a size thirty inches?"

"..." Lang Bai was silent for a few seconds: "...so what?!"

"It's not good, Dad is very relieved. You only had a 28-inch waist when you left. Clothes are really hard to buy, and even ordering is very troublesome..."

Lang Bai stood up suddenly, and rushed out without looking back.

Yuan Cheng laughed, and when he passed by, he grabbed his youngest son and strangled him into his arms: "Yo, are you angry?"

"……No."

Yuan Cheng touched his face, "You're just angry. But I'm very surprised, you used to hide any dissatisfaction in your heart, and you were resigned on the surface, why are you willing to put your emotions on Lian's face now?" Is it? You will flatter Dad like this."

Lang Bai waved his hand, instead of pushing Yuan Cheng away, he grabbed and twisted him instead.Yuan Cheng had practiced before, and this was a light and delicate move, neither hurting the younger son nor letting him break free, forcing Lang Bai to one side of his body, and Yuan Cheng naturally hugged him around the waist, the whole body Ling Kong hugged him.

"father!"

Lang Bai's voice sounded a little annoyed.

"Hey, let me hug you for a while."

"father!"

Yuan Cheng pushed Lang Bai down on the bed, wrapped one hand around his body, and buried his head on his slender neck.Lang Bai was so pressed that he couldn't even move, he could only turn his head to one side very unhappy, and remained silent.

Most of Yuan Cheng's body was pressed on him, and the weight should not be underestimated. Once pressed down like this, Lang Bai's breathing became a little difficult.After ten minutes of patience, seeing that Yuan Cheng had no intention of getting up, Lang Bai finally couldn't help but struggled slightly.

"Don't move!" Yuan Cheng ordered in a low voice, and then threatened: "Be careful if you move again, I will bully you."

Lang Bai immediately calmed down and closed his mouth.

"...Okay, I'm scaring you." Yuan Cheng patted his youngest son's face, "I've only been back for a few weeks and I'm leaving, let me give you a good hug first... Do you think life will be easier if you leave me? The official business of the American Army Fire Line can exhaust you, and the people below can annoy you to death. In the past, your father took care of you when you caused troubles. In the future, you will be responsible for yourself. It’s really not reassuring..."

Yuan Cheng paused for a moment, and Lang Bai felt a hot breath on his neck, as if his father had sighed.

"I was just your father in the past, and I will be your boss in the future. Many things are not so simple...you don't even understand."

In the room, only a small lamp was turned on by the bedside, and the orange light was dim.Lang Bai stared at the shadow in the air without moving, and said after a while, "I won't cause you any trouble."

Just as Yuan Cheng was about to say something, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and he quickly walked to the door.

Normally, as long as Yuan Cheng was in his youngest son's room, no one would dare to come in and disturb him, because Lang Bai's room was not next to the corridor, and to enter his bedroom, he had to pass through Yuan Cheng's large living room first, while most people in Without permission, you can't approach Yuan Cheng's residence casually.

Those who can drive straight in without saying hello at this time, needless to say who it is——

"Abai, can I come in?" Yuan Xiao's voice sounded outside the door, "I'm your brother."

The muscles of Lang Bai's whole body were tense, and he stared at Yuan Cheng with stiff eyes: "Father..."

In fact, the sound in the room was difficult to transmit to the outside, but his father's yelling was almost as light as the air, trembling as if he would die at any time.

Yuan Cheng had a bad taste, so he didn't let go immediately, he hesitated on purpose.The gap of a few seconds almost made Lang Bai breathless, he could only stare at Yuan Cheng with his eyes wide open, his eyes were extremely vigilant, like a small animal with fur all over its body.

"Abai?" Yuan Xiao knocked on the door, "Are you there?"

"dad……"

Yuan Cheng finally smiled, and while sitting up, he took advantage of the situation to pull his younger son up from the bed, and helped him smooth his hair with his own hands, and carefully straightened his messy skirt.

After finishing all these in a slow manner, he turned his head and said lightly to the door: "Come in."

In fact, Lang Bai didn't have to feel nervous at all. When Yuan Xiao heard his father's voice, he was much more frightened than Lang Bai!

"Father, father? Why are you here?!"

"Hey, I can't come?"

Yuan Hao stammered a bit: "No, no, of course that's not what it meant, I just didn't expect my father to be there...Ah Bai is leaving tomorrow, I'm just here to see him off..."

"I'm also here to see him off." Yuan Cheng casually blocked the eldest son back, "I didn't expect you to come. I haven't seen you at home for the past two days. I thought you left Hong Kong."

Yuan Xiao only bowed his head to listen to the training, but did not answer.Both father and son knew very well that he hadn't left Hong Kong, but hadn't returned home. He deliberately avoided his father and his men. This passive resistance was like protesting against his father, expressing his dissatisfaction.

How could he be satisfied? Including Lang Bai, who had always been his adopted son, in the family tree, and specially notifying the whole of Hong Kong, this in itself posed a major threat to Yuan Xiao's status!Everyone knew overnight that he was no longer the only candidate for the next chairman!

If it was just an ordinary boy, then it would be included in the family tree if it was included in the family tree, and Yuan Xiao could bear it even if he pinched his nose-but it was Lang Bai!Lang Bai, who even Yuan Cheng suffered from in his hands!

Yuan Hao knew very well that his young brother had a mind and cruelty beyond his age. Once he was given power, he would definitely do something like Yuan Cheng's slaughter of blood relatives back then!

On the night of Lang Bai's birthday party, Yuan Xiao left the house, and later on various occasions that required him, the eldest son, to appear in front of him.He was expressing his protest. As his father, Yuan Cheng knew it very well, and even Lang Bai saw it.

But no one pointed it out, and everyone knew it.

"These few days will be deducted from your annual leave this year. If you have to go out in the future, first say hello to your subordinates. If I disappear without a word for a week, what will you think? Since those people have dinner with you, you We must learn to be responsible to them." Yuan Cheng stood up from the bed, and very smoothly picked up the coat he had put on the back of the chair before, "Brother, you have seen it before, let's go. Leave some time for Lang Bai to clean up by himself luggage."

Yuan Xiao opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something to Lang Bai, but in the end he just smiled stiffly: "Okay. Then, have a safe journey."

Lang Bai lowered his head docilely: "Thank you, brother."

The two passed by each other, Yuan Xiao hardly had any time to stay, and Yuan Cheng stared at them from the beginning to the end.Until Yuan Xiao walked out of the room, he could feel the heavy pressure brought by his father's sight.

"...Father, don't you think I'm going to do something bad to Ah Bai?"

There was obviously a lack of confidence in Yuan Xiao's voice, but he was just trying to pretend to be relaxed.However, Yuan Cheng didn't intend to point it out, but asked him lightly: "How could it be? Do you think I will allow brothers to kill each other right under my nose?"

The two walked down the long corridor. The carpet was so soft and thick that they could barely make any noise.When he reached the stairs, Yuan Xiao couldn't help but whispered: "Wang's family, at least say hello, father."

The Wang family is Yuan Ju's mother family, and although Yuan Ju's grandfather is out of business, his uncle is still in power.

"I recognize my youngest son, why should I greet outsiders?"

"..." Yuan Xiao was choked up for several seconds without speaking, and his face became stiff, "But Ah Bai clearly—"

"Yuan Zou," Yuan Cheng interrupted the eldest son, "Your biggest shortcoming is that you have the chance to win, but you always lose your composure. Your younger brother is just the opposite of you in this regard, he can get out of a dead game , and you always end up in a winning situation. Sometimes the only way to win is to stand still, understand?"

Such a direct comment seemed unacceptable to Yuan Xiao, but before he could refute, Yuan Cheng waved his hand and went straight down the stairs.

"...Father!" Yuan Xiao gritted his teeth suddenly: "You should be on the plane to Seattle tonight, why did you appear in A Bai's room?!"

Yuan Cheng paused, and quickly replied calmly: "Just pretend not to know about things that have nothing to do with you."

"But father—"

"This is an order."

Yuan Zhen couldn't say a word, and watched Yuan Cheng walk away.
