322 Li Qiang-The Love Guru
"What's up Big Brother!" He came exclaiming in the room, without doing the courtesy of knocking as usual.
After having barged in his office in the middle of the day, he floppeddown on the seat in front of him without caring for the other man in the room who looked like he had just ran a mile with his demons chasing him.
Li Yuan rolled his eyes at his dramatics and waved off the HOD of finance department, the man bowed in gratitude mostly to the Young man's interruption and then left the room sprinting the rest of the way.
"Poor guy," Li Qiang muttered under his breath as he saw the man skipping several steps to reach the exit in fear of not being called back. His brother must be roasting him!
Then he turned back to his brother who was observing him critically with a placid look. He smiled and opened his mouth to say something when his brother cut him off.
"I have found the place for you," He proclaimed.
"That was fast," He mumbled under his breath. He wasn't even sure his brother would bother doing such errand but he had an inkling.
When his Big Brother had offered him that he will find him the place he thought it was going to take some time and he would be done finding one himself and would refuse his brother.
The Bachelor's Pad where he previously stayed then with his cousins and friends was no more the same so moving out was in order. They paid for it all together but as everyone was moving, though he could afford it. It was too big of a place for just one person so he decided to move somewhere more discrete.
He had other residence in his name that he had gotten in his Inheritance but they were either vacation villas or too big and far for him to live in.
Ji Zhou had gotten himself a girlfriend who he saw on is way here and would totally agree with his choice, the girl was a hot nerd. Yu Jian had finally moved in with his on and off girlfriend Su Qing, who is a world famous model and actor: the Country's and his childhood sweetheart.
Yu Wang and Jinag Cheng were hardly around for some 'business meetings' which he knew wasn't true but it wasn't like him to intrude in their personal matter they didn't want him to.
Li Yuan gave another dismissing glance at him then poured him and his younger brother some pomegranate extracted juice, It was wasn't like him to serve such but Lei Xinyi had denied him to drink and then if she smelled it on him, she was going to assume the worse… so healthy drinks it is.
Li Yuan was skeptical about his brother's actions. Li Qiang had refused any part in the company when the inheritance was distributed though he was one of the major share holders. He refused to work here.
He started doing freelancing though he could live a lavish life without having to work a day but he had aspirations and ambitions. Now he was starting a Tech company but refused to have him as an investor and was convinced that he could get them on his own.
From his intel he knew it wasn't true as he wasn't even pulling the Li card and was going by his mother's surname because he was stubborn on the entrepreneur pride sh*t.
He sighed and shook his head before serving him the drink; Li Qiang raised a brow at the choice of beverage but didn't comment. Another peculiarity to add to his brother behavior.
He took a sip of his drink and with an amused smirk, "I heard about the Lei girl." Li Yuan looked far from impressed as now the real reason of his visit was obvious. Gossip.
Straining another chuckle he clicked his tongue, "Who would have thought you would settle down that to with a woman who butt heads with you! Whoever I have thought about as a sister in-law, I always imagined a docile woman who tended to flowers and loved children."
Li Yuan gave him a bored look. It was no way surprising that he did know, he would find it surprising if he didn't. His brother had a habit of snooping around in his business 24/7 just in pursuit of gossip.
When Li Qiang had heard about the woman's background unlike other he wasn't spooked. Instead he supported his brother's choice. Her background just made her a stronger candidate for an Underworld King.
So if a need arises she can defend herself and won't live miserably like his mother and his brother's mother. And he remembered meeting her in the night club when she was pretending to be his brothers now ex-fiancé.
The girl was tactful and graceful in her cunning ways making her the perfect wife for a man on the summit.
He saw his brother face emerge a crooked smile on her name and sunk for some reason, "Trouble in paradise?" He couldn't help but blurt out.
"Your Sister in-law," He smirked at the sound of it then shook his head. He was celebrating too soon, "She doesn't see it like that."
He looked at him carefully trying to decipher his meaning. Did his brother just say a woman wasn't interested in him?! "She… doesn't like you in a romantic way?"
Li Yuan chuckled and shook his sarcastically in a dismissive way, "Oh, she does." Yes, she did but for her he was just some passerby guy who had a motive to be with her and when that motive will be achieved they will on their own ways.
He tried telling her mushy romantic bullsh*t, bought all the stuff girls liked, brought her to dates, even eff*ng proposed her but she was too stubborn to the fact that was obvious to her.
According to her everything in this world was 'give and take' deal.
He stared at the sweet sh*t he had been sipping for a month now just to impressing her with his tolerance to encourage her affection for him but even then all it did encourage is more do's and don'ts.
With a tired sigh, he shook his head, "She just doesn't want to believe it. She thinks I am f*cking around with her." He took a sip of the inconsolable drink he was drinking on her name, "If only she could see how she had f*cked me up!" He muttered bitterly under his breath. Bitter, because he liked every part of it and would do all of this over for her without regret.
He looked at his once playboy brother misery and hardly held himself back from taunting. If the girl didn't believe him it had to be for solid reasons. For instance his brother's history with girls should ring a bell.
The girl seemed to have really gotten into his brother's head if he was brainstorming pick up lines and planning date nights.
He knew instantly he liked the woman who was making his brother sweat and even more now that he knew it wasn't in the way her brother would like to sweat with her.
He loved his brother but a little effort was good even for his brother. He wanted to laugh manically.
But as he liked his jaw intact so he asked instead, "Did you tell her how she... f*cked you up?"
Li Yuan scoffed at the understatement, if she didn't know then nobody else did! "I can't be more obvious then black and white! She literally order me around like a thrall and I follow her every whim b'cause I f*cking love her!"
Love! LOVE! He said LOVE! Yes, definitely had f*cked up his brother!
Nodding his head hesitantly at the helplessly deranged state of his brother, he asked, "Did you tell her though?" His brother frowned in annoyance, a clear sign he hadn't so he continues like a love guru despite being single, "Sometimes the sharpest of women are dense when it comes to the matter of heart. If you confess your her at to her with some fancy dinner, she is bound to fall head over heels for you!"
Li Yuan deadpanned, "If I tell her straight, she would probably tell me to shove it up my a*s and then go make crazy decisions."
Li Qiang was bubbling inwardly, Damn! He had to meet his Awesome Sister-in-law, who had his brother wrapped around her little finger like that!
He kept his raging excitement inside and kept a straight face, "Put it out there, if it's meant to be this way she will even reciprocate and," He paused and shrugged, "And if she tried to run you can always go looking for Sister In-law."
Li Yuan frowned in contemplation but didn't speak any further and just as Li Qiang was looking for some pretext to invite himself in his place, Li Yuan spoke.
"Come to my place for Breakfast. The place was previously your sister-in-law's so you buy it and then sell it to me. You can live there because she may check up on you. She insisted on showing you the place on her own so don't be late."
