Chapter 35 - Ruby Roulette.
Yang Dao dressed up in a black formal shirt and beige trousers accompanied by Black flat base sneakers and wore a beige strapped chronograph watch on his wrist. This set of clothes was in contrast to Feng Yun's white and red combination. She wore a long-sleeved white blouse with Red-colored pants. She wore a pair of white stilettoes and a red strapped watch. Her fair jade-like face was added an immeasurable amount of charm when she put on a pair of ruby earrings on her ears.
This pair was out for blood today. Yang Dao complimented Feng Yun when they met after breakfast, "Sister Yun, you always look so pretty." he clasped his chin with his index finger and thumb.
Feng Yun smiled and replied, "Just like how you always look so charming, Young Master." she copied Yang Dao's gesture. They both exclaimed in unison, "Got it."
Then they looked at each other and laughed. Feng Yun spoke, "You wait for a second Young Master, I will grab something you are missing." with that, she quickly walked to her cloakroom and came out after a minute. She walked up to Yang Dao and carefully pinned a brooch to his patch pocket. She caressed the brooch gently and said, "Young Master, this broch is something I bought with my first ever earning. It may not be as valuable as a gem but it is definitely a charming one. I hope you don't mind it."
Yang Dao turned and glanced at a decorative mirror on the wall. The brooch was shaped like a lotus blooming. Yang Dao nodded and said, "Sister Yun. I don't mind. Also, do you have a red eye shadow?"
Feng Yun nodded said, "It is inside my cloakroom. I will get it for you." and soon after another trip to the cloakroom she bought Yang Dao a palm-sized box. The box was marked with a brand name that Yang Dao did not recognize at all. Regardless, he glanced at the maid standing at the side and said, "Sister, can you get me a chair?"
The maid reacted quickly and found him a chair. Then Yang Dao said, "A handheld mirror as well, please." the maid again went out of the living room. Yang Dao sat Feng Yun on the chair took the box of eye shadow from her and opened it swiftly. He smeared his fingers with the eye shadow and said, "Close your eyes, Sister Yun."
Yang Dao was very good at art. He was capable of painting with his fingers. One of his paintings was bought by a patron visiting his orphanage at a boggling 3 million price. All of which he donated to the sick children's medical treatment in the orphanage. Feng Yun closed her eyes. She has seldom used makeup on her face. Yang Dao moved his fingers gently yet gracefully. His thumb stroked the upper eyelid along the lashes very skillfully. If someone asked Feng Yun she would say that she did not feel the touch of Yang Dao at all.
Yang Dao gradually increased the pressure as he moved outwards and even the surface of touch had increased. Then he used his clean fingers and blended the makeup with the real skin. He backed off and saw the maid standing with a mirror in her hands. Yang Dao smiled and took the mirror from her and spoke to Feng Yun, "Sister Yun, you can open your eyes now."
Feng Yun opened her eyes and she was stunned for a moment when she glanced at the mirror. The woman in front of her was so beautiful. She knew it was her, and she was aware of her beauty but after Yang Dao's touch her image has gone up by two levels. She smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Young Master."
Yang Dao shook his head and said, "Jade looks better when it is clean and carved."
Feng Yun nodded her head and stood up. She said, "Shall we go now?"
Yang Dao nodded and the two people came out of the house they did not take the chopper but a luxury car. They entered the garage outside the courtyard and Yang Dao spotted a car and he stopped in his tracks. The silver-colored car had a bright red trimming around the corners. Yang Dao spoke as he shook his head, "I wonder, who bought this beast after a day it was released. Quinn, only one model was ever produced by Torque Motors. I have to say, they outdid themselves with this. Equipped with an 8 cylinder engine twin-turbo, 1,479 horsepower, 1,180 pounds/feet torque. 286 miles per hour. The whole thing is carved out of Vibron, the strongest and lightest natural alloy in existence. Even the engine block and drive train are made from this metal as well. Powered by Crypto nation's best vehicle assist system. They didn't cut any corners here. The interior, don't get me started. Sister Yun, be honest, did they made this for you specifically?" he pointed a suspicious gaze at Feng Yun.
Feng Yun at this moment like a child turned her head away. She knew what this gaze meant. She hesitated and spoke, "The four of us bought out Torque Motors a few years ago. And decided that when the Dao Child will meet the four of us, this will be his gift. I forgot to have it parked here."
Yang Dao had his mouth wide open he couldn't believe these crazy people will spend so much for just a gift. he was moved and scared silly by this gesture. Didn't this mean that if someone messed up with him? His four familiars will slaughter the world for him. This thought scared the shit out of him.
He closed his mouth and without another word he sat down in the back seat of a commercial luxury car. Feng Yun sat down with him and the already driver started the vehicle. Usually, the people would have a car waiting on the porch but Feng Yun had a thing for riding different cars for different kinds of schedules. The garage was as big as a 5 bedroom penthouse. And this was only the first level. She had stored her most favorite cars on this level.
Usually, she would drive a two-seater sports car on her own. Today she was going to meet with the 'big shots' so the big boss car was needed. Though, she did not expect Yang Dao to go silent as soon as she told him the origins of that vehicle. Yang Dao was a kid and her master. She was unable to hide anything from him, it was a condition set by their bond. She was also able to sense the turmoil inside Yang Dao's heart. She did not speak to quell this storm. Yang Dao had to decide for himself on how to deal with this. She had complete trust in Yang dao and that he would be able to solve this momentary trouble.
The car moved smoothly on the road to the ruby tower. Yang Dao glanced outside the window and suddenly a smile appeared on his face, he mumbled, "Your actions decide whether there will be chaos or serenity."
He entered a state of nothingness and they reached the office edifice. Only when the vehicle stopped did Yang Dao woke up. He smiled at Feng Yun and said, "You guys need to hold back on the gifts a little."
Feng Yun showed him a wry smile and they both went upstairs under the admiring and envious gazes of the staff. Yang Dao fished out his cell phone and dialed Mikhail Goldberg's number. The call connected and a voice that did not belong to Mikhail sounded.
"Hello, Mr. Yang, I am Khal Goldberg. Mikhail is my son." the tone was very excited.
Yang Dao handed the phone to Feng Yun directly and said, "You ask him who is coming and who is not. I am not very familiar with these guys."
Feng Yun took over the phone with a smile on her face. She spoke in a cold voice, "This is Feng Yun, president of Phoenix group. Chairman Goldberg, you are welcome to come over and have lunch with me and my Younger brother Feng Yang Dao." her personality changed drastically. Yang Dao shook his head helplessly, after all, he himself was like this.
On the other side of the phone, Khal Goldberg was shocked. He did not expect Feng Yun to talk to him over the phone. In his stupor, he responded, "Yes, President Feng, I and the others will come surely."
Feng Yun replied, "Welcome. We have lunch at 1.30 noon. Be on time. My time is precious." she did not wait for his reply and hung up the call. Yang Dao spoke, "You are so cool dealing with these guys."
Feng Yun chuckled and said, "You will get used to it Young Master. These people don't deserve softness."
Yang Dao nodded and then sat down on the couch while Feng Yun took her desk and started working. Yang Dao asked suddenly when he got bored, "Say, Sister Yun, when will I meet the other three people? I like that car a little, you know." he raised his head and kept glancing at the ceiling. Feng Yun saw this and smiled, Yang Dao was, after all, a child. She said, "We can arrange for special coaching for you in driving a sports car at a race track. You can get any car you want except for that one."
Yang Dao glanced at her and rolled eyes as he said, "Go, go, work. You tease me. Humph." Feng Yun chuckled and the two spent time in silence waiting for the 'big-shots to come.
