My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 1005: The Difference Between a Female Companion and a Girlfriend

There was no malice in his words, just pure teasing and curiosity.

Li Shengxiao ignored him. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm

Instead, Rong Yan turned her head, only to gaze up at the man’s sternly chiseled jawline, and said in surprise, "Li Shengxiao, did this round involve a wager of ten million?"

Could they dare to make it even more thrilling?

The distinguished man casually tightened his grip on her hand, leading her to hold the golf club, and answered nonchalantly, "It’s just a little game."

Rong Yan, "..."

Alright, his idea of a ’little game’ was a casual bet of ten million.

"Do you know how to play? If not, I can teach you."

Ever since she had arrived, the arrogant man’s attention had completely focused on her, to the extent that even Han Cheng, who was also playing, seemed to become invisible.

Did he really want her to go on?

Rong Yan took a deep breath, pushing back all her astonishment. Compared to ordinary people, the entertainment circle was already lucrative and luxurious. But next to this group, the entertainment industry’s luxury seemed embarrassing to flaunt.

"I know a little."

"Then will you play by yourself?" Li Shengxiao released her hand, gently gathering her stray hair by her ear, his eyes filled with indulgence.

The meticulously dressed Xia Xue was also watching Rong Yan, seeing how Li Shengxiao doted on her. Filled with real envy and jealousy, almost as if possessed, she bit her lip. Intending to prove herself, she looped her arm through the man’s, tilting her head up coquettishly and said, "Mr. Han, look, Mr. Li is teaching his lady how to play golf. Can’t you let me join in too?"

"Join in?" Han Cheng raised his eyebrows, his chiseled features remaining nearly the same as before, yet exuding an underlying coldness, ruthlessly disengaging her hand, growing somewhat unhappy, "Baby, I don’t have Mr. Li’s boldness to just let you ’play’ with ten million."

"You also need to be well-behaved, don’t mistake me for Mr. Li."

For him, beautiful women were merely embellishments to add a touch of elegance, useful for making appearances in social settings.

To those who could earn him face in public, he didn’t mind spending a little to flatter them. But ten million was out of the question.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t afford it, it just wasn’t worth it!

Despite her strong composure, Xia Xue knew he was just toying with her. Faced with such humiliation, her expression stiffened. Her face turned alternately red and pale, finally settling on ashen. Her eyelashes trembled as she covertly glanced at Rong Yan, who was protected in Li Shengxiao’s arms, then thought of her own disgraced self. In awkward misery, she tightly bit her lips, her strong teeth almost puncturing the skin. She endured the humiliation stiffly, pale-faced and obediently apologizing to the man, "Mr. Han, I’m sorry, I was foolish. It won’t happen again."

"Hmm. Good to know you understand. If you behave, only then I can continue to bring my baby out. If you don’t, I might just have to find another well-behaved baby. You need to understand your place and not get carried away by what others have. Understand?" Han Cheng glanced at her sidelong, speaking unhurriedly.

Xia Xue’s complexion worsened, and she bit her lip, nodding earnestly, "I understand."

...

Throughout the rest of the event, Xia Xue behaved exceptionally well, just like a pretty pet Han Cheng would bring along. When needed, she came close obediently; when not, she stayed subtly at the sidelines with a keen sense of her surroundings. Even every time Han Cheng changed his golf club was Xia Xue running back and forth, serving him personally, more diligently than the nearby staff.
