Liu Yu nodded. He rubbed his fingers, âYes, but ever since you came back, our place has been much calmer than before. I havenât heard of anything big happening in this circle, the kind that can make people go crazy...â
Before he could finish, Liu Yuâs voice got lower and lower. He touched his nose guiltily and cleared his throat.
The manâs eyes were as sharp as knives stained with blood. If he dared to say another word, he would be cut in half.
âIâm just saying. Iâm not you, I donât ignore the outside world. Every day, other than work, all you do is stay at home, drink tea, and enjoy the scenery without paying attention to gossip.â Liu Yu pursed his lips, it was obvious that he despised the way that Huo Yunque lived his life. âSo, Iâm sure I know everything that goes on in this circle. For example, a few days ago, the second son of the Wang family got into a fight with someone over a woman at the club. He was even sent to the hospital. Meanwhile, the mistress of the Han Family got pregnant and forced her way to the head of the family. Also...â
âLiu Yu.â
Huo Yunque listened quietly for a while and gently raised his hand to interrupt him.
His voice was calm, and his tone was classy and refined.
âDid I hire you with a high salary so I could listen to your stories?â His dark eyes were calm, but Liu Yu swore that he must have seen the mockery in them.
âWell... I just wanted to express that thereâs something wrong with your behavior, it doesnât suit a young person of this day and age...â
Liu Yu braced himself. Under the manâs gaze, he could not continue.
âAre you done?â
Huo Yunque raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
âI g-guess...â Liu Yu was not sure himself.
Actually, he still had a lot to talk about!
âVery good.â
Huo Yunque flicked his sleeves and turned around.
With a gentle smile, he ordered slowly, âHuo Qi, take him to Royal View and ask Yi Ting to set up a stage for him so he can tell his stories. When heâs done, bring him back.â
Huo Qi chuckled. âYes, sir! I promise to complete the task!â
Liu Yuâs eyes widened like a frogâs as he watched the man walk away gracefully.
He then shouted, âMaster Huo! No! Iâm done talking now! Really!â
He liked to listen to gossip, but he didnât like performing in public!
Moreover, everyone in this circle knew him more or less. Among them, he was most familiar with Mu Jing and Yi Ting. If these two bastards saw him being sent to Royal View for storytelling, wouldnât they laugh their heads off?
Who knew how they would torture him!
Moreover, Royal View was a grand entertainment club. Since when did storytelling exist?!
âMaster Huo please spare me!â
Liu Yu screamed and was dragged away by Huo Qi. He put his arm around Liu Yuâs neck and smiled playfully.
âDr. Liu, come, what else do you have to talk about? Tell me.â
âIn your dreams!â
Liu Yu was so angry that he fell on his back. If it werenât for the fact that he couldnât beat Huo Qi, he would have fought with him long ago.
A scholar could be killed but not humiliated!
Ah! He was so angry!

Song Yaoyao was lying in the room, almost falling asleep when she suddenly heard a âbeepâ from the machine and the bed slid out.
A warm and thick palm pressed against her back and gently lifted her up.
âGege, I...â When Song Yaoyao saw it was him, she immediately grabbed his clothes and asked nervously, âHow am I? Am I really sick? Is it serious? Can I still be saved?â
Her eyes were red from nervousness as though she was distraught from the news of cancer or something.
