My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Out of all the adventures and experiences that Li Yang himself was acquainted with—one always needed to go home at the end of it. It was the reward one sometimes tended to forget. Glory, riches and power were one thing, but it was incomparable to the relief of reaching a place that was truly yours. 

Sanctuary. Haven. Shelter.

A place to turn to when everything was said and done. Somewhere to rest your feet, lay down your armor and preferably enjoy a warm meal with a loved one waiting for your return. 

The only question was… was there a home for him to return to?

It shouldn't have been that big of a deal because it was him. A former CEO with assets that numbered far more than any ordinary person can dream of and possibly with countless properties underneath his belt if one were to believe the reports.

Frankly speaking, he was not a wasteful person who owned too many things. His only problem was that going home to his place at approximately four in the morning where his brother and girlfriend might be staying made him less willing to travel.

The Celestial arrived in one the ports of Shanghai hidden from most and it left Li Yang with both Ying Yue He and Bo Lifen—and possibly the others from Shen Society back to their city. Each one of them hopefully having a place to turn to after all of the events that sequestered their night.

"Phew, I'm beat." Mou Gu was the first to break the silence and waved at them. "I'm going back home and taking a day off or two from operating my restaurant. Good to see you back, Ying Yue He—I'll see the rest of you guys around."

Hua Zhao followed in tow and said his farewell, "Yeah. My grandfather's going to riot for coming home late, so bye."

Behind them, the ship was then taken care of by someone else and taken away to its own port. That left Li Yang with both Bo Lifen and Ying Yue He who weren't exactly as lost as him.

"They're not going to report to Shen An Na?" Li Yang frowned.

"I think it will be done later after some rest." Bo Lifen explained with a shrug and bit back a yawn. "They're a more relaxed organization than they make you think."

"Of course." 

"You don't sound too surprised, do you?" Bo Lifen chuckled a bit.

Ying Yue He who was not blind or exactly deaf to know and realize that the two were talking so closely with one another. She reached for Li Yang's arm and hugged it to her chest. "What about you? It's quite late to be going back to your home Mister Li. You should stay at my apartment."

Li Yang smiled a bit. "If that's fine for you. I did not expect that you'd have your keys with you?"

Ying Yue He lowered her blouse's collar slightly and revealed a small necklace. "Spatial ring necklace? Don't you have one of yours hidden somewhere?"

"...I do." Li Yang found himself answering. He realized that it was probably a good ruse to have in the event that he was put at a difficult position and he was about to get robbed or plundered of his items.

Bo Lifen, who had been about to answer Ying Yue He about where she was going, turned her head away. She knew she was right when it came to certain people that she met. A rather possessive type if she had seen anyone—but then again, most people that she met with were far unwilling to share a loved one with somebody else.

It took a certain state of mind to be fine with it.

Or to have orders, rules, boundaries and a code of conduct in place, whether it be the classical harems of kings and great cultivators to the more modern and polyamorous relationships.

...But to Bo Lifen who was observing it at this moment. 

It may have to happen in a future discussion and not right now. While her own emotions to Li Yang's secretary were neutral at best, Bo Lifen was just glad that the man seemed fine and happy.

That was all that she really kind of wanted for him. Bo Lifen couldn't believe that she just wanted to see this guy happy for some reason.

...Perhaps she was willing to admit that it was because she felt a certain way around him. The two of them were sort of similar in some extent, that all Bo Lifen wanted was to see him be more at ease.

Not waiting for any more chances to excuse herself, Bo Lifen parted ways with the couple and left them to it. She was going to sneak back home and hope that her parents were still asleep. 

But before Bo Lifen actually left, she glanced one last time at the two.

Everything was just fine.

Naturally, that was a lie. Everything around Bo Lifen's own vision was spinning from all the revelations that were discovered and everything that went along with it. She needed a drink, or two. Maybe three cups, bottles maybe.

And she wasn't talking about tea, this time.

She looked dead.

It was almost as if one were looking at a crime scene created by her own decisions.

There were many regrets, things that she hadn't been able to tell him, but not as much as this one. Her eyelids were fluttering to a close as she croaked out a word. "Hah… I'm stuffed." 

Taiga coincidentally happened to be awake even at this time and was stuck in a coma. 

A food coma as she eyed the television screen with a sense of dissatisfaction.

There was a litter of bowls of popcorn kernels and other assorted snacks that she had on her movie marathon. Several cans of soda rolled across the floor and turned the five star hotel into a pig-pen.

It wasn't the best distraction from keeping her mind away from Li Yang—because she had seen the movies at least three times already.

Beside her, Blue Fish, or Narissa as the idol introduced herself, was twiddling her thumbs. With no idea whatsoever as to what led the man to leave Shanghai once again—and only returning just now based on the screen's interface, she was upset at the least.

Losing precious hours of beauty sleep—it was ridiculous. 

"That man… he's safe isn't he?" Narissa told herself that she wasn't going to worry the Tigress Spirit, but she couldn't stop her tongue this time. The man's curse from the gods, did it bring him somewhere dangerous, this time again?

Or did he buy a yacht and took that woman on a romantic boat ride somewhere?

"I don't know. That Tea Temptress may have sexual diseases we're not aware of—and Bossman doesn't like using condoms." Taiga explained. "You've slept with him already, right?"

Narissa nearly choked on thin air and threw the Tigress a look. "What are you trying to say?"

Taiga pouted. "I'm saying—er, Taiga is saying that she is aware of what's happening between Bossman and Bo Lifen. Plus, Taiga thinks that you've also had some relationship with him so that's why you're tolerating Taiga's presence, right?"

Narissa pursed her lips. "You're a lot smarter than you let on."

Taiga grinned at the remark. "Of course."

Before Narissa could give an answer, her phone suddenly beeped.
