My CEO Harem Cultivation System

There were a couple of things that posed a problem to Bao—and it wasn't only because that Ying Yue He offered a hand out to it and attempted to befriend it as she might have done to some animal or a teddy bear. 

The entirety of the women surrounding Li Yang were not officially part of the harem.

Instead of choosing to spend his time on actually gathering the pre-approved list of women, the man was actually picking out the people he wanted to be with?

Heavens be damned that a man actually got his way with things, he needed to keep to the script! So Bao glared at Ying Yue He as she woke up earlier than Li Yang to prepare breakfast.

The Panda's gaze was trained on this disgustingly doting ex-secretary.

Well, it didn't take too long for Li Yang to get up to the smell of brewed coffee. Coffee or tea—which one did he prefer? That almost seemed like a trick question, because it was obvious to Bao that the man happened to like both.

Today though, the man padded over to behind Ying Yue He and then rested his chin above her head. He wrapped an arm around her waist and asked. "Why did you wake up so early?"

Ying Yue He blushed at the sudden gesture as she turned off the coffee maker—glad that there was something left in her pantry. It had been so long since she got here, that she was surprised that there was still something usable in her fridge. 

"Well, uh, I was about to go run to the nearest convenience store to buy something. My apologies, but I only have instant coffee, Mister Li."

"That's fine with me," he said. "You're a lot hotter than coffee anyway."

"Huh?"

"What?"

Both Ying Yue He and Bao stared at the man like crazy. Neither were aware that the man speaked nonsense when he just woken up—and Bao was actually present for at least more than several times during the man's actual wake up time.

"That is to say, I'd like to return with you to bed and just have you close to me. You're warm." Li Yang explained. "The bed is cold without you."

"Ohhh." Ying Yue He looked mildly relieved after hearing that. This was the old boss that she was used to—saying one thing that seemed completely out of character, but actually implying something else.

It led to some miscommunications and confusion in the past, but now, it was more of something akin to a word play  of some sort. Ying Yue He spun around and then hugged back the man.

If there was anything that may or may not have surprised her, it was Li Yang's desires not only for sex but also the cuddling and other touches that went along with it. While she was prone to assume that men just wanted sex, that was only one aspect of a person's desires, wasn't it?

"But I will still drink the coffee that you prepared for me. We can't let it grow cold." Li Yang decided after a moment of Ying Yue He's reply. Everything was so nice right now, but he still had things to go over through.

"I don't mind going back to bed if you want." Ying Yue He raised her head and looked at his face and noticed the seriousness in his expression. "Unless you have other things that need your attention and time?"

Li Yang gave her an apologetic smile. "There actually are matters that need my attention. But I want to make sure that you're safe."

"You don't have to worry about me. I'm a lot stronger than you think." Ying Yue He pouted.

"I'm aware of that, but I'd still prefer it if we kept it under the radar for a while. At least you." Li Yang was aware that if he were going to pursue Anna Song, it'd be impossible to hide himself from the public, and by proxy, the Liu Group.

But first and foremost was ascertaining what was the next step for Ying Yue He and him. If it was monetary problems, then as long as he recovered his accounts and it wasn't frozen—as his father once did to his older brother before kicking the guy out before—then he was good to go.

"Does it mean that you're asking me to find some other place to live in?" Ying Yue He asked.

"Possibly. Perhaps someplace that you can blend in?" Li Yang nodded. "I'll try to ask the Shen Society, but the sect that Taiga stays at also seems good, doesn't it?"

"O-oh… I certainly never heard of it." Ying Yue He brushed back some of her hair behind an ear and averted her gaze. 

"Taiga talks about it ever so often when she has the chance." Li Yang told her. "They're good people. Taiga even stayed there during the duration of my absence."

"I see."

He certainly needed to find Taiga and he hoped that she was alright after he left her with Bai Minghua. While he didn't expect anything from Narissa, he hoped that she'd be able to tell him where the Tigress left.

If worse came to worst, at least he knew where the both of them were.

Safety in numbers.

It was a little hard to believe, but there was no way that Li Yang could simply believe that they were able to leave the island without facing any sort of repercussions.

Then came the need to check on Luo Ju Di once again. Make sure that she's doing alright and everything was under control. Both her and Chunhua… he needed to get them someplace to stay. Well, after the physical therapy and the recovery process, but that meant he still needed to take care of it.

At least, he wasn't one to assume that they were going to live under one roof together.

Li Yang was bound to assume that those people would scour him for any weaknesses, and he'd rather not get them involved in any squabbles that he himself brought. Could he also get some safeguard for them?

The fact that his older brother and his girlfriend were ordinary people didn't mean anything to an organization like them, either, didn't it?

Now that it came to this, his mind drifted to his family to which he knows for a fact wouldn't actually accept any sort of help if he were to tell them that they were in danger. 

He was now realizing how easy it was to seek revenge if they knew who they were looking for. It was almost as if there was a giant 'Kill Me' sign plastered to their backs and Li Yang wasn't as heartless enough to let his own family die.

At least he knew that there was one person who wouldn't run the risk of getting hurt.

As much as he wanted to go check on Bo Lifen, at most, he could just send a text. Li Yang couldn't believe that she just left without a word last night, but it probably meant that she wanted some space for a while.

Or it was because she was not willing to risk her life with the dangers that surrounded him

Whether or not that was the case, Li Yang still needed to actually pour attention into his current mission. Was it best to put it on hold though? He knew he couldn't actually do that for real, but he'd also rather not stick a death flag on Anna Song if he could help it either.

But time was not on his side.
