Chapter 24

The door to Xiaoyun Xiao's room opened from the inside with a creak.

Hao Meng, hearing the sound, turned his head to see Xiaoyun Xiao standing there with a cold expression, looking like an ice queen. She had always been like this since childhood, rarely showing a smile, but she was very beautiful, exuding a queen-like aura. She had never lacked admirers, and in school, she always won the title of campus beauty, earning her the nickname 'Ice Fairy.'

Standing at 175 cm, she would be even more imposing if she wore 10 cm heels, giving men a sense of 'pressure.'

"Big Sister, you're home too!" Hao Meng greeted with a forced laugh. He had thought Xiaoyun Xiao was at work today!

In this house, Hao Meng was unafraid of anyone except this nominal 'sister,' whom he both loved and feared. However, in the eyes of outsiders, their relationship was not good.

Xiaoyun Xiao stood at the door and said coldly, "Come in, I have something to say to you!" Then she turned and walked back inside.

Xiaoyuxue, who was sitting next to Hao Meng, stuck out her tongue and handed him a pear 6, giving him a look of good luck. She then got up, laughing, and went back to her room with her phone and tablet.

Hao Meng got up from the sofa with a bitter smile. He really didn't know how to face Xiaoyun Xiao. This was one of the reasons he rarely came home!

Just as he reached the door, Xiaoyun Xiao pulled him inside, slammed the door shut, and locked it.

"Xiaoyun Xiao, you..."

Xiaoyun Xiao, with a cold face, didn't wait for Hao Meng to speak. She pushed him back onto the bed and straddled him forcefully.

With Hao Meng's current strength, he could easily throw her off, but he didn't dare. Sighing, he put his hands in front of his face and said softly, "Don't hit the face, don't hit the face!"

Hao Meng was afraid she would slap him. Actually, it was his fault. When Xiaoyun Xiao was in college, during a summer break, they had an argument. She was very arrogant back then, never giving Hao Meng a good look and often mocking him. Hao Meng wasn't one to back down, so he couldn't tolerate her.

In the end, unable to bear it, Hao Meng forced himself on Xiaoyun Xiao.

At that moment, Hao Meng was terrified, thinking his life was over.

Xiaoyun Xiao didn't scream or shout. She sat up with tears in her eyes and said coldly to Hao Meng, "Get out!"

She didn't report it to the police or tell Zhang Fang. Only the two of them knew. But after that, Hao Meng never dared to provoke Xiaoyun Xiao again, feeling guilty towards her.

"Put your hands down, I won't hit you!" Xiaoyun Xiao said coldly.

"Really?" Hao Meng looked at Xiaoyun Xiao through the gaps in his hands, hesitated, and then obediently put his arms down, smiling weakly. "Big Sister, can you get off me first? This is really uncomfortable for me." The key was that her position wasn't right.

"No!"

Hao Meng was stunned. Was this on purpose?

Xiaoyun Xiao bit her lip, a flush appearing on her face. She pulled up Hao Meng's T-shirt and leaned down to bite his chest.

It wasn't hard, and it didn't hurt, more like a tease.

What the hell!

Hao Meng felt dizzy, thinking, What's going on? Did Xiaoyun Xiao get some kind of shock?

"Xiaoyun Xiao, did you break up with someone?" Hao Meng asked softly, not daring to stop her, fearing that any pent-up anger might be unleashed on him.

"No!" Xiaoyun Xiao lifted her head and stared at him coldly. "I've never had a boyfriend, so how could I break up?"

"Then what are you doing?" Hao Meng was completely confused.

"I... want you!" Xiaoyun Xiao said, her face turning red, her breathing becoming rapid, and a hint of desire in her eyes.

Hao Meng stared at her, speechless. He thought, This is too direct, but her next actions left him with no time to think. Her intentions were clear: she wanted him, regardless of his consent. He was the 'bottom,' and she was the 'top.' He was passive, and she was active!

This is for real!

"Wait, they're all outside!" Hao Meng was startled. This was their home, and the whole family was outside.

Xiaoyun Xiao, with a stern face, pushed away Hao Meng's hand and said, "I know. Don't move. Just lie there for me. If you move again, I'll scream and let them all come in. Then see how you explain yourself."

Fine, she was being unreasonable. Hao Meng had no choice but to let her have her way.

For a moment, Hao Meng felt like a lot of grass was flying in front of his eyes. The mix of pain and pleasure made him shed tears in his heart. Ugh, damn it, he was being 'ruined'!

The storm raged, the rain pattered down, and Hao Meng felt like a little bird in a storm, tossed about in the wind and rain.

...

Xiaoyun Xiao lay on top of Hao Meng, taking a long breath and not moving.

After a while, she asked, "You're collecting scrap outside?"

"Um! Kind of." Hao Meng thought for a moment, then put his hand on her back, gently caressing it. It was smooth and silky.

"Is or isn't, what do you mean by 'kind of'!" Xiaoyun Xiao frowned, her face returning to its cold expression.

"What I'm doing now isn't really collecting scrap; it's called second-hand recycling." Hao Meng felt he needed to explain, as 'collecting scrap' sounded a bit derogatory.

Xiaoyun Xiao straightened up, her lips curling slightly. "Isn't that the same as collecting scrap?"

"..."

Xiaoyun Xiao got off, cleaned herself up, and put on her clothes. "That's not a proper job. How about this: come work at my company, and I'll talk to the manager."

"Big Sister, I'm starting my own business now!" Hao Meng got up from the bed with a bitter smile. He had no intention of going to work. With the 'recycling station,' he wasn't worried about making money. Overall, what he was doing was different from the traditional scrap recycling industry.

Xiaoyun Xiao looked at Hao Meng and said, "What if I 'ask' you to come to work?"

"Uh!"

"Think about it!" Without giving Hao Meng a chance to speak, Xiaoyun Xiao opened the door and went to take a shower. She was very clean and felt uncomfortable with the sweat on her body.

At the dinner table, the dishes were abundant, and several were Hao Meng's favorites.

"Happy birthday, Dad!" Hao Meng raised his wine glass, stood up, and smiled.

The whole family fell silent, looking at Hao Meng. His actions were completely unexpected. Everyone knew that he and his father didn't get along, but Hao Meng's current behavior was surprising, very surprising.

Hao Fula looked at his son with a mix of relief, happiness, and a bit of uncertainty.

Hao Meng clinked glasses with Hao Fula and drank the red wine in one gulp. He knew he had to say something, at least to let the family know what he was doing outside, so they wouldn't worry about him.

"Just now, my sister suggested I work at her company, and Dad also said I should find a suitable job. I know everyone is doing this for my good," Hao Meng paused slightly and then smiled. "But I think you all underestimate me. To put it simply, I already have my own business. I run a store specializing in second-hand appliances, and the annual profit is at least 500,000. Besides that, I'm also working on some second-hand phone business with friends, which should grow bigger..."
