Chapter 1316 - 1309: Sister Xi’s Might (Part 2)
Song Xiaodong said lightly: "I just want you to recognize a fact. In this line of work, danger is everywhere, you can't always be the winner, at any time, you may lose your life. This is not only for you but also a reminder for your underlings."
"You..." Qiao Yunxi clenched her fist and said, "Do you think we want to be in this line of work? They haven't studied much, no one wants them for odd jobs, if they don't hustle here, should they steal and rob?"
"That's just an excuse. Nowadays, as long as you're willing to put in the effort, is there no way to make money? Even if it's moving bricks at a construction site, it's enough for them to live. People who aren't willing to work hard yet want to be successful - that's the real mindset of people in your circle."
"I am not!" Qiao Yunxi answered categorically.
"I know you're not. You do it to protect yourself. You're a girl, and a very beautiful girl at that. If you don't assert yourself, you'll be swallowed whole. I'm glad you've always been able to protect yourself well, but things are different now. I've found you, and no one will bully you anymore."
Staring at Song Xiaodong for a full minute, Qiao Yunxi then shook her head and said, "I can't go with you!"
Song Xiaodong looked at Qiao Yunxi and said, "Are you worried about your brothers? Afraid that if you leave, they'll struggle to survive here?"
Feeling that all her thoughts were seen through by Song Xiaodong, Qiao Yunxi felt unsettled, clenched her fist, and said, "Yes, they've followed me for years, they're my brothers through thick and thin, I can't abandon them."
Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "I admire your loyalty, so I can assure you, you can bring them along, I will arrange jobs for them."
"They're clueless, what can you arrange for them?"
"Don't they like to fight? I can make them security guards. If they train well in Kung Fu, I could turn them into bodyguards. Don't think being security or a bodyguard is disgraceful, the income in my company from doing that isn't low."
Qiao Yunxi's face still showed hesitation, but she was clearly tempted.
Song Xiaodong smiled again and said, "You're their leader, you need to think about their future. If they stay cooped up here, their lives will go nowhere, only by venturing out can they have opportunities – a man should have ambitions far and wide."
Qiao Yunxi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll talk to them later."
Song Xiaodong's smile widened, saying, "Yes, this is their opportunity, but don't force them."
"I understand." Qiao Yunxi nodded, then looked at Song Xiaodong and said, "If I go with you, what do you want me to do?"
Song Xiaodong met Qiao Yunxi's gaze, raised both hands to rest on her shoulders, and said slowly: "Yunxi, we have a very important mission, our future lives will be quite exciting, something you can't even imagine now. I'll tell you in detail once you're there with me."
"Important mission?" Qiao Yunxi asked with a puzzled look.
Song Xiaodong looked up at the starry sky, and said slowly: "Indeed! It's very important, trust me, it's beyond your imagination, I'll lead you down a different path in life."
"Okay! I agree!" After a moment, Qiao Yunxi nodded firmly though slowly.
When Song Xiaodong returned to the hotel, Feng Kexin and Qi Lanqin were still awake, both half-leaning on the bed in thin pajamas.
Seeing Song Xiaodong come back, neither of them got up. Feng Kexin smiled and said, "Yunxi agreed, right?"
She didn't even ask how the matter was resolved; such a small thing wasn't worth asking about.
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "She agreed."
Feng Kexin chuckled and said, "Didn't you ask her if she's... pure?"
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "She just agreed, asking that now might scare her off."
Feng Kexin pouted and said, "What's wrong with asking? If we knew she wasn't, we'd have to hold back, which would be quite tiring otherwise."
Qi Lanqin's face turned red at once; after tasting that pleasure yesterday, she wasn't as eager for further steps as Feng Kexin but had to admit that going a step further could be more pleasurable.
"Kexin, your skin's getting thicker now." Song Xiaodong laughed.
"Being shy before my brother would be silly. Hurry up and shower, we've been waiting for you all day."
"It's you waiting, not me." Qi Lanqin quickly distanced herself.
Feng Kexin laughed and said, "Lanqin, you made a deal, so you can only watch later."
"I..." Qi Lanqin wanted to agree, but the words stuck at her lips.
"Hehe..." Feng Kexin laughed cheerfully, saying, "See, you're always saying one thing and thinking another. Like if you like, being with our brother doesn't require you to be so reserved."
"I'm not talking to you." Qi Lanqin ducked her head beneath the blanket, refusing to come out.
Song Xiaodong burst into laughter and said, "I'm going to shower, wait for me."
The delightful atmosphere of the night need not be described, and after such an experience, the relationship between Feng Kexin, Qi Lanqin, and Song Xiaodong deepened, and the bond between the two sisters became even closer.
The bonds among women, under such special conditions, grow very easily.
Of course, it requires Song Xiaodong to perform well, otherwise, if he faltered quickly, it might lead to dissatisfaction between the two, as someone might feel left out of the enjoyment.
Now, the two must work closely, helping each other to reach a satisfying outcome, naturally enhancing their rapport and emotions.
The three enjoyed themselves in the hotel for two days, and on the third day, Qiao Yunxi came to find them. Today, she was dressed in a simple casual outfit, not hot like usual, and her face had no heavy makeup, appearing completely natural.
"Indeed a beauty." Feng Kexin quickly praised.
Qi Lanqin nodded and said, "Yunxi looks really good this way."
Feeling a bit awkward being complimented by the two, Qiao Yunxi said, "Not as pretty as you two."
Feng Kexin held Qiao Yunxi's hand and said, "Who says so, we're all similarly beautiful. Besides, you have a wild side, which men find really attractive, right brother?" Then she winked at Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Of course, a beauty like Yunxi couldn't be otherwise, are you all set?"
Qiao Yunxi took a breath and said, "Yes, I'm ready, and there are six brothers joining me."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "No problem, let's go together. I'll fulfill my promise to you."
Qiao Yunxi nodded, not speaking further.
At 2 p.m., Song Xiaodong led the group onto the plane.
With three princesses, he sat in first-class, while the other followers were in economy class, all visibly excited.
Although they didn't want to lose face, none had traveled afar or taken a plane before, resulting in some awkwardness.
Sitting beside Song Xiaodong, Qiao Yunxi looked out the window, feeling quite anxious. In her old neighborhood, she was a queen, but now venturing out with Song Xiaodong, she didn't know what future lies ahead. Yet, she knew this path would be better than the previous one.
