Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

Yu Bing had only locked himself in the study for a short while when he was already thinking, "I was born to die."

She couldn't think of any way to achieve what she wanted and hoped for without external help.

Frustration, anxiety, helplessness... all sorts of negative emotions filled her mind, vaguely shattering a corner of her unyielding self-esteem—she seemed to be more determined and less opposed to the idea of ​​borrowing Min Moyou's power.

She couldn't help but wonder if she had gone too far with Min Moyou just now—had she made him lose face by pointing fingers at him in front of the servants?

Then, she clearly heard from outside the study the voices of Min Moyou's subordinates arguing vehemently and Min Moyou angrily rebuking them.

It seems that Min Moyou's subordinates, who were the ones being targeted by her, actually took her words seriously and agreed with them, even at the risk of angering Min Moyou, to persuade her to do as she said.

Unconsciously, Yu Bing felt a surge of secret joy and guilt:

The secret joy stemmed from the fact that even the high-ranking and close subordinates of the Yu family elders, such as their stewards, hardly paid any attention to Yu Bing—although, despite Yu Bing being the apparent head of the Yu family, they dared not show it.

But he treated Yu Bing with perfunctory attitude, only going through the motions, and behind her back, he didn't take her seriously at all, and couldn't get her to do anything.

She had only been engaged to the Min family for a few hours, yet a high-ranking servant like Min Moyou's personal bodyguard had overheard her words and was paying close attention to her attitude...

How could she not be happy about this?

This feeling was something Yu Bing couldn't experience at the Yu family. She even felt that the disrespect she felt when Min Moyou ignored her suggestion, the feeling that hurt her self-esteem, had been repaired in some form without her noticing.

Since his subordinates are so sensible, then this young lady isn't so incapable of forgiving his little mistake, is she?

Moreover, I just became engaged to Min Moyou, and his subordinates are already so concerned about what I say...

If I marry into the family and become the mistress of the house, won't I be able to boss them around?

Well, it's still a bit too early to talk about marrying him off...

But! But! This trend is good!

Yu Bing became increasingly fascinated and satisfied with the power that she could easily seize—after so many years of fighting in the Yu family, she had only achieved so little, working herself to the bone with no hope in sight. Was it really worth it?

Inside the study, Yu Bing listened to the white doves and cuckoos outside the room remorsefully advising and begging for punishment from Min Moyou, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Amidst this joy, Yu Bing couldn't help but feel a pang of shame—such a loyal subordinate, and she had just told Min Moyou that people's hearts were unpredictable...

Sigh! I was so rash!

To doubt someone's loyalty based solely on one's own subjective assumptions is utterly lacking in clan spirit!

Yu Bing tilted her head, thinking of the figures of Bai Ge and Du Juan. In her mind, she automatically conjured up a scene where Bai Ge and Du Juan were clinging to Min Mo You's trouser leg, crying and begging him to listen to her, Yu Bing.

A slight smile played on her lips as she grew increasingly pleased with Bai Ge and Du Juan—if she were to marry into that family in the future, she would definitely ask Min Moyou to bring them over as her subordinates!

However, next, Yu Bing's heart skipped a beat when she heard Min Moyou's dissatisfied reprimand from outside the room—that's right! Why should such a domineering young master listen to his two subordinates?

He didn't intend to listen to Yu Bing's advice at first, and how could his will be changed in just a few words?

He actually wants to punish the white dove and the cuckoo?

He sounds really angry...?

What to do... what to do...

My momentary impulse to speak out has resulted in two such loyal subordinates suffering such injustice, all because they dared to offend the unreasonable Min Moyou in support of my views...

Moreover, the Min family behind Min Moyou is very likely an ancient family with strong feudal remnants—such families have always had a severe and terrifying style when it comes to corporal punishment of their servants!

Perhaps, after they are sent to receive their punishment, I will never see them again!

No!

I have to go save them!

How could I, Yu Bing, stand idly by and watch the loyal and righteous man who spoke up for me suffer the abuse of that scoundrel Min Moyou!

Moreover, if he could rescue them from Min Moyou, he might have a chance to poach these two talented individuals from Min Moyou!

Even if things don't go well, if I... well... if I have the chance, they'll remember this kindness and should listen to me even more.

What a great opportunity!

Yu Bing paced back and forth in the study, her fan tapping erratically against her palm.

Without realizing it, she had even come to regard the white doves and cuckoos as her subordinates.

How could he allow his subordinates to be bullied by Min Moyou?

Absolutely not!

Yu Bing, who had just paced back and forth in the study twice, suddenly realized there was no movement outside the door...

Oops!

Could something have happened to them?

No, I have to get out of here right now!

Yu Bing gripped the doorknob, hesitated for a second, then steeled herself, pressed the doorknob down, and peeked out.

............

Min Mo sat quietly at the dining table, sipping his drink. The candlesticks that had been placed on the table had burned out, but he hadn't turned on the room lights yet.

Moonlight streamed through the window, illuminating Minmo's dark and inscrutable face.

It's normal for Yu Bing to be angry because of his overly intimate relationships with other men, and to get upset and argue with him. Min Moyou can understand this himself—after all, Yu Bing is a young lady from a wealthy family, so of course she should have some temper.

But the problem lies in how to resolve this conflict, so that Yu Bing can accept Bai Ge and the others, and even more in the future... well, we'll see.

Should Min Moyou, the domineering CEO, apologize to Yu Bing?

Is that what you call an apology from a domineering CEO?

Who apologizes to a proper, domineering CEO?

Is a domineering CEO who apologizes still a domineering CEO?

Will you apologize?

Anyway, Minmoyou won't apologize.

Then the only solution is to make the other party apologize!

Even if I, Min Moyou, have done something wrong—I've been juggling multiple relationships and maintaining close ties with subordinates of the opposite sex—

You should be the one apologizing to me!

This is what a domineering CEO should be like!

Min Moyou rested his face on the armrest of his chair with one hand, while swirling the special drink in his wine glass with the other, pondering how to deal with Xiao Yubing.

"Click——"

A slight sound of the door lock turning was heard. Min Moyou looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the previously closed door to the study had been opened, and a small head wearing a hat popped out.

It was Yu Bing.

Yu Bing peeked out and looked around for a while—but she didn't see any white doves or cuckoos. So, the so-called punishment wasn't going to take place here...?

Yu Bing opened the study door completely and stepped out of the study. She looked at Min Moyou, whose expression was obscured by the moonlight, with a complicated expression, without saying a word.

The main problem was that I didn't know how to start the conversation, and when I faced Min Moyou directly, the light was dim, so I couldn't see Min Moyou's expression—I imagine his expression must be quite sour right now.

It seems like all of this was caused by just a few words I said... especially since I was the one asking for a favor...

Tch! You idiot! How could you be so fast?!

For a moment, Yu Bing felt a little scared—mainly because Min Moyou didn't say anything, just quietly looked at her—or maybe he wasn't even looking at her.

Several seconds passed, and Yu Bing decided to take the initiative to speak up and ease the awkward atmosphere—mainly because she felt that she couldn't drag it out any longer—she was afraid that Bai Ge and Du Juan were already suffering inhumane torture.

Any later and it will be too late!

How could Yu Bing sit idly by and watch her supporters be pushed into an abyss of unbearable suffering by her own hands?!

Absolutely not!

(At this moment, the dove and the cuckoo, unwilling to rest properly, were pestering the nightingale to ask what her first experience with Min Moyou was like... And to be honest, listening to the nightingale's description, they had a... well... feeling, it was quite worse than death.)

"Why aren't the lights on? Aren't you worried about the darkness? It's bad for your eyes."

Yu Bing started the conversation with a trivial remark, signaling her desire to communicate with Min Moyou. She then fumbled for the light switch and turned on the enormous crystal chandelier overhead.

With light, she could see Min Moyou's expression clearly, which would make it easier for her to deal with Min Moyou according to different situations later.

If all else fails, she should just give in. What's wrong with Yu Bing suffering a little for the sake of her loyal subordinate?

The bright, warm-toned lights illuminated the room again, and Yu Bing's gaze immediately fell on Min Moyou's face—damn it! He has no expression at all! Just like that old scoundrel Yu Youming!

So, Min Moyou actually knows this essential course for young masters of powerful families?!

"Family affairs are settled? That was quick."

Instead of answering her question directly, Min Moyou asked Yu Bing a question in return, which was ambiguous. It was unclear whether she was genuinely admiring Yu Bing's quick ability to handle things or mocking her, as a puppet family head, for not being qualified to be involved in many family affairs.

Often, in a conversation, as soon as one party subconsciously answers the other's question, that party is already in a passive position in the conversation.

Unfortunately, Yu Bing, whose mind was elsewhere, had already fallen into a disadvantageous position in her conversation with Min Moyou.

"Well, it's done."

"I have been the head of the family for many years, and I am quite adept at handling those matters."

It's unclear whether Yu Bing caught the probing or sarcasm in Min Moyou's words—but she's particularly sensitive to these kinds of topics, and as the head of the family, even if it's just a figurehead, she represents the Yu family's reputation, and more importantly, her own face...

How can you say that once you leave the Wuli District, you have absolutely no chance to get involved in family affairs...?

Min Moyou nodded noncommittally, casually relinquishing the initiative to speak in the future, and remained silent.

So far, Yu Bing has not revealed any weaknesses that Min Moyou could exploit.

Could it be that the dramatic performance just now had no effect on her at all?

Min Moyou remained silent, and Yu Bing began to panic—she had finally managed to get the conversation going, and now it was over?

How could she possibly steer the conversation toward doves and cuckoos?

How could she then conveniently reveal her intention to get Min Moyou to let Baige and Dujuan go?

Moreover, she was the one who made Min Moyou distance herself from Dujuan and Baige, and now she's also the one making Min Moyou let Dujuan and Baige go...

Is this... perhaps a little bit?

Not quite right?

Forget it! Never mind! I'll just ask!

If I keep hesitating like this, what if they turn into dove sauce and azalea sauce by the time I ask the question...?

“Um… Min Moyou, what about your two subordinates? The two girls named Dujuan and Baige.”

"Oh, them..."

Min Moyou's response was calm, but deep down he already knew the weakness Yu Bing had revealed—sure enough, Bai Ge and Du Juan cried so bitterly, and Yu Bing was just too kind, righteous, and naive, unaware of the wickedness of human nature...

See, your conscience has been awakened, hasn't it?

Min Moyou felt that he had found a way to "deal with" Yu Bing:

"Those two guys who don't know their place, who have no respect for their superiors, and who don't recognize their own position have been sent to be severely tortured."

"I guess you'll never see them again."

"So, are you happy? Did it turn out as you wished? The future mistress of the Min family?"

(However, the white doves and cuckoos, who were frolicking under the guidance of the nightingale, each reached out their hands to the other, as if they were learning or practicing something. Their laughter was as clear as silver bells, how delightful!)

Upon hearing this, Yu Bing's pupils constricted sharply in fright—

Severe torture is about to begin!

Sure enough, they are being subjected to inhuman abuse right now because of me!

It's such a waste that they served such a cold-blooded feudal family!

Will I never see them again?

After torturing them, are they going to be slaughtered completely?!

No...no.......

No!

Finally, someone took Yu Bing's words seriously. I, Yu Bing, don't want them to die in such a miserable state!

But...but...

How could I possibly plead for them?

In what capacity and from what stand should I plead with Min Moyou on their behalf...?

Yu Bing froze on the spot, her breathing became very soft, and the movement of tapping the fan in her hand, which she had initially been trying to maintain her composure, stopped. Her lips trembled, but she could not utter a word.

Min Moyou deliberately avoided looking at him—he knew that it was only a matter of time before Yu Bing would yield to him for the sake of her kindness and justice.

"Could you... please let them off this time?"

Yu Bing hesitated before speaking.

"Actually... that's not what I meant..."

"They're all doing this for your own good... that's why..."
