Guilongchao: I played the domineering CEO to the bone.

"boom!"

Min Moyou slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table with such force that the base of the glass cracked.

Yu Bing was startled by Min Moyou's sudden outburst and shrank back involuntarily, but thinking of the two loyal and righteous people, Bai Ge and Du Juan, who might be suffering from torment and hardship, she mustered her courage to face Min Moyou, who was like a mad beast.

"For my own good? Hah..."

Min Moyou chuckled.

"They speak up for you because they care about me? They make me listen to you because they care about me?"

"Who do you think you are?! What I do is none of your business to tell me what to do!"

"Who are you, and what am I?! Don't you even know that?"

"Or are you like them, unable to recognize your own place? You've raised them for so long for nothing, and instead of listening to me, you listen to an outsider."

"Why should I keep such an ingrate around?"

Min Moyou remained seated, his tone indifferent.

Faced with Min Moyou's words, which sounded like a reprimand or an interrogation, and a barrage of questions, Yu Bing was momentarily at a loss for words. She felt it would be impolite and unbecoming of her clan not to answer, so she could only respond softly to a few questions whose answers she clearly knew the answers to:

“I am the head of the Yu family, and you are the young head of the Min family. We are now engaged… You misunderstand. I didn’t mean to interfere with you. I’m not…”

Yu Bing was also a little numb. Although she knew that her fickleness was not good, she felt that as long as she showed Min Moyou that she did not care about Min Moyou's close relationship with Bai Ge and Du Juan, she could save the two loyal men from Min Moyou's clutches.

But why does he look so angry?

"Heh, engaged couple? The head of the Yu family?"

Min Moyou waved her hand, interrupting Yu Bing's stammering reply.

"Calling you my fiancée is an understatement!"

"It was your Yu clan that begged you to marry into my family! It was your Yu clan that insisted on giving you to me! With your mere Yu clan, even if I forced myself on you tonight, the so-called Yu clan behind you wouldn't dare utter a single word of dissent!"

"You still say you're not bossing me around? One minute you're trying to sow discord in front of my subordinates, telling me not to get too close, saying they're unpredictable... Fine, now my subordinates aren't on my side anymore, they agree with your views, and you're jumping out to say they're good people? And you want me to forgive them?"

"Are you trying to put me through a test of obedience or to twist my will? Are you trying to train me like a dog?! Or are you trying to use this opportunity to show favor to my subordinates, then poach people from my ranks? To steal my power?!"

"Yu Bing, Yu Bing... what are you really up to?!"

"I...I didn't...I didn't! I didn't think that! I...I just..."

Yu Bing frantically waved her hands in an attempt to explain, but her feeble and weak words made no sense—having never imagined such a situation before facing Min Moyou, Yu Bing panicked again, her mind going blank.

Ugh, it's happening again!

You idiot! Get moving!

Although Yu Bing's brain had almost stopped functioning, her political intuition, cultivated through long-term power struggles within the Yu family, still told her the real problem—she had unknowingly crossed a man's sensitive red line—power and dignity.

Dignity is another matter, but Yu Bing, who has been in the power struggle of the family for a long time, knows that for those in power, as long as an outsider touches their authority in the slightest, it is enough to cause the other party to think wildly, be vigilant and hostile!

Forget about close relationships like betrothed couples or family members; power struggles are far more brutal than you can imagine—when it comes to power, even brothers, sisters, fathers, and sons can turn against each other anytime, anywhere!

Its sensitivity is evident.

Yu Bing finally understood why Min Moyou was angry!

But she couldn't resolve it... This kind of misunderstanding can't be cleared up in just a few words!

Moreover, Min Moyou clearly doesn't intend to listen to her explanation right now!

Min Moyou was furious. He stood up from his seat, walked quickly towards Yu Bing, and raised his hand to slap Yu Bing across the face!

"call--!"

A cold, strong wind swept past Yu Bing's ears, and Yu Bing instinctively clenched her teeth and closed her eyes tightly...

But a second or two later, the pain Yu Bing had imagined did not occur.

Did they slap me so hard my face is numb...?

Upon closer inspection, I realized that the side of my face I had expected to be hit was now being gently caressed by a hand...

Min Moyou ultimately couldn't bring herself to hit him—having gone this far in her acting should have broken down Yu Bing's psychological defenses, right?

That's why it's a fictional domineering CEO. Real domineering CEOs slap each other without hesitation, starting from zero frames and doing it cleanly and neatly with a "pia" sound. Min Moyou even has a pre-cast animation.

"I'll only give you one sentence to explain clearly."

Min Moyou's eyes revealed a mixture of emotions, each accounting for a quarter: pity, incomprehension, hatred, and madness.

So that Yubing knows: if she can't give a reasonable explanation today, she might not have a good ending...

Yu Bing forced her useless body to stop trembling, and then commanded her useless brain to start working again—she had to recall her mindset when she said those words, and then retell them in a way that Min Moyou could understand.

The most important thing is to calm Min Moyou down so that everything can be discussed.

Yu Bing couldn't help but give a bitter laugh—he had come to save the loyal and righteous, but now he was in a predicament, like a clay Bodhisattva crossing a river—unable to even save himself.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Bing noticed that Min Moyou's patience was gradually waning, so she stopped considering it too much—since she hadn't initially harbored any of the negative thoughts Min Moyou mentioned, she might as well just clearly state her own thoughts and let Min Moyou make her own judgment.

She, Yu Bingtang, is upright and innocent! Why would she need to fabricate any pretty words to coax him?!

But while she felt confident inside, she didn't say it aloud:

"When I saw you... I realized... you hadn't even fed your fiancée yet, and you were already feeding your subordinate. I felt uncomfortable, and that's why I... slipped up..."

"Besides, what I said wasn't without reason! I didn't know they were so loyal... I overheard them in the study later... and then I realized... they were clearly very loyal, yet they were punished because of me, and I... felt a little guilty. That's why..."

So you're jealous?

Min Moyou, seeing Yu Bing stammering, interrupted again—"Huh? There's actually an unexpected surprise?"

Yu Bing glanced at Min Moyou's gradually calming face, hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice:

"...If I just admit that I'm jealous, will this matter be over?"

"That's not enough. You need to promise me that you won't have any more objections to my close subordinates in the future."

How could Min Moyou let such a good opportunity slip by?

Upon hearing this, Yu Bing's face darkened.

Ok!

Although it is a political marriage, it is very possible that they will become a couple who respect each other but are not truly together – this situation is quite common in family-arranged marriages.

But wasn't Min Moyou's request a clear message to Yu Bing: Min Moyou has an ambiguous relationship with his subordinates, but you can't interfere!

Although the parties in a political marriage may not have feelings for each other but have certain needs, and they may be aware of how much they want to have fun—but it's inappropriate to bring this up in public.

It's like rubbing Yu Bing's face, as a "wife," into the ground.

Yu Bing is currently facing this situation. Min Moyou's attitude and behavior make her look bad—but she knows that Min Moyou has no room for refusal, so she can only try to make more demands to make up for it.

For example, take the opportunity to save two loyal and righteous people!

"I agree to everything, please let them go, okay? They've really been loyal to you, I..."

"You have no room to bargain with me."

Min Moyou finally understands why those domineering CEOs love to interrupt others—because interrupting others is fucking satisfying! The kind of satisfying feeling!

"Okay...I admit...I...said...things I shouldn't have said because I was...jealous."

"I also promise that I will never again interfere with your close relationship with your subordinates."

"Is it okay...?"

Yu Bing signed the unequal treaty and surrender apology in utter humiliation, her whole being seemingly drained of its spirit—her dignity (her pride) had ultimately been shattered by that man...

"Sure, but are you sure you don't want to say something nicer?"

"Maybe if you do something good, there will be room for maneuver."

Min Moyou's expression returned to calm. Clearly, he was very satisfied with the results of this battle—but he wouldn't mind achieving even more.

"What do you mean?"

Yu Bing came to her senses, and Min Moyou's hand was no longer caressing her face.

Do you want the cuckoo and the white dove to live?

The question posed by the Fujianese ink derives from a different topic.

Yu Bing took a deep breath. She couldn't imagine what kind of humiliation awaited her—but having gone this far, and with Min Moyou making it clear, she might as well listen first...

If she succeeds, she will have successfully rescued two loyal and righteous people who have suffered because of her, and will also have the opportunity to bestow favors on Dujuan and Baige—that would mean that she, Yubing, has a little bit of a foundation in the Min family and by Min Moyou's side.

But Yu Bing also knew to act within his capabilities; if things were truly beyond his control, then he could only apologize...

"what do you want?"

Min Moyou opened his arms slightly and replied nonchalantly:

"Then it depends on your performance."

Yu Bingxin understood immediately—this meant he wanted her to throw herself into his arms, right?

Ugh, this is so embarrassing! There's no way I could do that!

But... if it's for the lives of two loyal and righteous men, and given that she and Min Moyou are engaged...

Just a perfectly reasonable hug could save two lives... It's absolutely worth it!

Since we've already come this far... well... what else should we do?

Go, Xiao Bing!

you can!

After a wave of self-hypnosis, Yu Bing finally took a small step closer to Min Moyou, leaned forward slightly, wrapped her arms around Min Moyou's waist, and gently leaned into Min Moyou's embrace...

It's warm...it's spacious...it's intensely hot...it's so comfortable...

"that is it?"

As the soft jade embraced him, Min Moyou still seemed somewhat dissatisfied.

Oh, right!

He means to say something nicer, right?

"Hmm...you...are very handsome."

"Alright. Nightingale, let them go."

Min Moyou took the opportunity to pull Yu Bing's body closer, climbing up her slender, supple waist...

(At this moment, the cuckoo and the white dove, who were already extremely envious after Nightingale's explanation (showing off), were green with envy—was it really that comfortable? Nightingale only stopped her teaching and enlightening process after hearing Min Moyou's order.)

"Yes, Master"

A voice answered from the empty room, and Yu Bing was completely bewildered as to where Nightingale was speaking.

Yu Bing's anxiety finally subsided.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up and you've achieved your goal... well, it's late, shouldn't we rest now, my fiancée?"

While Yu Bing was still immersed in joy and relaxation, Min Moyou pulled Yu Bing towards the bedside.

Yu Bing's heart sank again.

"No, no, that's not something an engaged couple should do! I, I, I'll just sleep in the study tonight."

"No, it can be. It's just lying together, nothing more."

As for what happens next, like "I'll just sleep and not do anything inappropriate," "I'll just hug and not touch," "I'll just touch and not move," "I'll just... not..." only Min Moyou knows.

Min Moyou was determined to do things his own way, and Yu Bing was dragged along by him.

Oh no! Yu Bing is in big trouble!

"Don't do this! If you keep doing this... even if you get my body, you'll never get my heart!"

"Didn't we agree that once I admitted I was jealous, that would be the end of it? Why do I still have to...?!"

Min Moyou did not respond; Yu Bing had to save herself!

"Min Moyou! You don't want to just marry a pretty face, do you? I'm very capable, if..."

At this point, Minmoyou responded:

"Then I'll see just how capable you are."

"No! I'm not talking about things that can only be done after marriage!"

Yu Bing tried to pry open Min Moyou's hand that was pulling at her, while continuing to talk.

"I mean, I'm very capable. Whether it's managing people, money, or handling affairs, I can do it all! If you... if you don't use force and talk to me... talk to me properly, then I can become your capable wife. I can help you handle things and guarantee you can be a comfortable head of the household!"

"So, so! For my sake! Please respect my wishes! When I... when I feel it's right, I will... give myself to you..."

"May I?"

Having heard this far, Min Moyou had already pulled Yubing to the bedside, but ultimately chose to let her go.

"You've convinced me."

The moment Min Moyou released Yu Bing, Yu Bing escaped several meters away from Min Moyou like a rabbit, finally running unsteadily towards the study.

"Thank you... Well then, goodnight!"

"boom."

He said goodnight, but closed and locked the study door with remarkable speed.

"Sigh... Is it really that serious..."

Min Moyou watched this dramatic scene with a mixture of amusement and exasperation—when did the young and mature head of the Yu family, who was usually calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain, become so insane...?

"White dove, cuckoo, are you still there?"

Min Moyou seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

"Master, I am here."

White doves and cuckoos appeared in a flash, standing guard around Min Moyou.

"Go ahead, and play your part completely."

Du Juan: "What acting?"

White Dove: "Your subordinate understands, Master is wise."

After saying that, the white dove led the bewildered cuckoo away.

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

Inside the study, Yu Bing's heart pounded with excitement as she finally escaped danger—it was so thrilling! So exciting!

I almost got...

fine! fine!

When Yu Bing finally relaxed, she felt a strong sense of weariness wash over her. Come to think of it, the day had been so eventful that it could have been made into a movie, and it had really taken a toll on her.

Yu Bing dragged her weary body to the spacious desk, adjusted her position, and slumped onto it, her consciousness gradually fading...

But before her consciousness completely faded into darkness, she vaguely heard some noises, and then a warm and comfortable blanket was draped over her.

A familiar soft murmur reached my ears—the voices of white doves and cuckoos, sounding weak and feeble.

They said to her:

"thank you....."

Yu Bing's lips curled up, and the last thought that flashed through her mind was: It's safe!

And so, she drifted off to sleep with this sense of accomplishment and sweetness.
