Chapter 860: A Successful Man
“From the moment I saw her to the instant I brought my men over, not even 15 minutes had passed. Within this time, she had already taken down seven gangsters. She does have some skills up her sleeves.” With this kind of girlfriend, he would feel at ease no matter where he was. Xia Jinyuan had keen eyesight.
Xia Jinyuan shook the wine glass in his hand as he admired the night scenery. The smile at the edge of his lips appeared exceptionally gentle. “She’s not my girlfriend yet. She’s a senior high student. I still need to wait. She does have some abilities. Her goal is the same as mine too. I’m her goal.”
I’m her goal… From his calm tone, Hou Zi could hear a hint of boasting.
He had to admit that this was something worth boasting about. Any men would be jealous when they heard this. The lady that he liked viewed him as her goal… How could anyone not get envious?
Hou Zi just broke up so, in that instant, he lost all his interest to talk about Ye Jian with Xia Jinyuan. Most importantly, he didn’t want to hear this successful man boasting in front of him, a man who just broke up.
He changed the topic calmly. “The scenery is not bad, right? Do you feel like you’re looking down on all the small buildings?”
Hotel Caesar had 23 levels. Naturally, not all the levels consisted of hotel rooms. The hotel had two doors, one at the front and one at the back. From level one to level fourteen, it was the hotel. From level fourteen to level twenty, it was the office. Level twenty-three consisted of two rooms and one living room. Only the most trusted companions of Hou Zi can stay at this level.
For instance, Xia Yiwei and Xia Jinyuan.
There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of the sofa. If one pulled the curtain up, they would be able to get a bird’s eye view of the city view of the Southern Province.
Xia Jinyuan clinked glasses with Hou Zi and took a small sip of the wine. Then, he said slowly, “It’s lonely to be in a high position.”
He wanted to sleep but Hou Zi dragged him up forcefully. Was Hou Zi still hoping that he would say something pleasant? He really couldn’t say it.
“I asked you to accompany me to relax, not to anger me.” Hou Zi finished the red wine in his glass in a few mouthfuls. Then, he poured another glass for himself again. “I even brought this good French red wine out for you. Can you show me some face?”
Xia Jinyuan stretched his legs and replied lazily, “I can’t. Why does an old man need a youngster like me to give you face? You should be the one giving face to yourself. It isn’t something other people can give you.”
“I’m 37 years old. Am I old?”
“If you’re not old at 37 years old, do you think my sister is old? She’s already 34 years old.” Xia Jinyuan’s voice was a little cold. “Brother Zi, don’t expect me to say any nice words to you. My sister wants to marry but you don’t want to. Thus, there’s only one result. Each of you will live your own life. This is relief for her. It’s relief for you too.”
Hou Zi bit his lips until his cheeks tensed up. The sharp gaze from his phoenix eyes appeared as if he was about to kill someone. He said in a low and furious voice, “Do you think the two of us can get married? Who am I? Who is she? Who is the Xia family? Can we get married? Are we able to get married?”
“Do I dare to agree when she wants to get married? Will your Xia family dare to pass her to me?”
One of them was the boss of the underworld. His hands were tainted with blood and he had multiple enemies, so many that he didn’t even know who they were. He didn’t dare to get married. He didn’t dare to take the risk.
He stared at Xia Jinyuan with his bloodshot eyes. They looked like an arrogant phoenix that was crying; elegant, beautiful, but distant. “Old Sixth, you’re a man. Imagine if you’re in my position. Will you dare to do it?”
Dare? Why not? The person I love, the person who loves me is just beside me. Why won’t I dare to do it? I’m willing to risk my life for her! Don’t even mention my enemies or opponents!
