Naruto In The World Of Beautiful CEO 83 Take The Pill Without Water

Naruto and Mingyu spent the rest of the time by watching tv and eating snacks, Mingyu leaned on his right chest as they cuddled on the purple sofa in the center of her room. She giggled at the scene showed beyond the screen of her TV, she picked two potato chips, delivering one into her mouth while another one into Naruto's. He playfully licked her finger also giving it a little bit prowess of his teeth, creating a shameful blushes time to time on the smooth land at the each side of her nose.

At this moment, Naruto patted her shoulder, "Hey, will you be busy for the next couple of the days?"

Mingyu raised her eyebrows and turned her face at him, "I think I am, you do remember that Yu Lei's Autumn exhibition is coming sooner right? PR will be busy promoting the event to the public and our work relation..."

"Yeah, yeah, I remember, as the matter of fact, what I am going to ask can be related to PR's job desc!" Naruto hugged her and bore his cerulean eyes to her, "do you remember Liu Corporation's Charity event?"

"Of course! How can I forget such an event especially after a horrible trouble befell on it..." Mingyu nodded.

"I have a friend that is part of the corporation and she asked me to accompany her into a long trip toward the orphanage outside of the city, almost reach into Shaanxi province, I think the village called Weinan..." Naruto rubbed his chin and stared at the ceiling.

"What? Naruto that's perfect! This invitation could help a lot in our exhibition's promotion also boosted up Yu Lei's name!" Mingyu snapped her body posture, facing him with a couple of widened eyes.

"Yeah, and she also allowed me to take three or four people together in order to help for the agenda, also letting me to bring any Yu Lei's trademark so long it is appropriate!" Naruto lashed out his smile, "I want you to come, and other sisters whoever available to join us!"

Mingyu frowned a bit, then she faced him again, "When we will go there?"

"Three days from now, she let us to make some preparation while she prepare hers, two days later, she has been invited to be a guest star in a famous talkshow, and she invite our CEO to appear together!"

"Hmm... while I do have things to do and had to meet some client, I think with the drop of Liu Corporation's name, I can push forward several meeting and postpone the other..." Mingyu touched her lips as it curled to the side, "yeah, I think I can make it!"

"Great!" Naruto leaned down and seized her lips with his thick one, Mingyu hummed in elation and hugged his neck, they make out for sometime until Naruto broke down the connection and left her soft lift vicinity, the reddish hue groomed on her cheek and the trail of translucent liquid improve the beauty within her dazed expression.

Naruto rubbed her lips and proceeded to kiss her forehead, "I left the rest who will join us up to you, you know all of them far better than me."

"Um..." Mingyu pasted her face on his chest and inhaled his unique male flavor.

She felt the sense of safety and peace coating her as the scent traveled through her sense, the thought of wanting him all for herself surged inside her mind but she quickly diminished such a selfish intention.

She closed her eyes, the image of his figure embedded deeply into the stem of her brain, marking a certain territory only for the memory about him and all the things he had done.

Naruto gently smiled, while rubbing the back of her head, he leaned into her ear, "Don't you think this is such like fast forward honeymoon for us?" With her eyelids stil shut, he continued, "The nature and fresh environment, far from the crowded buzz of the city, we will taste the sound of crickets at the nights, the howling of the owl, the sway of lushes trees...

At that time, the green smooth gra.s.ses will stay behind our back, stars will be our ceiling, and moon shall spots us with its reflected light...

In the morning, the first dew will drop onto our forehead, waking us in the remembrance of the friendly nature, our eyes will catch the couple of squirrels, watching us from above the branch of the tree, along with the colorful feather bird who sing a song of a morning hymn."

A light curve pulled the corner of Mingyu's lips, his words like a piece of puzzle fragments that one by one making the whole picture together, within her mind, a depicted scene of what he said start to become real, and they are both in it.

She could feel his strong arm underneath her head as they stared at the dark sky but spots of stars br.i.m.m.i.n.g it with lights. The far beyond thousand of galaxy's ember filled their eyes and the rounded while shy moon peeped at their tranquil moment.

Mingyu opened her eyelids and glanced at the man before her, Why you keep trying to make me fall harder for you? And it is succeed on the every attempt?

If this is a soccer match, perhaps you already become the player of the match who score the most.

Mingyu rubbed his face, the strong jaw but rounded chin, can she ever forget this making of the man anymore?

She brought forward her lips and touched the man's one, she coated it many times, pa.s.sionately colliding the soft meat together while her small tongue playfully hit around.

She pried open the lips and tangled their tongues together, the wrestled between the pinkish spear began and neither wanted to raise the white flags. She pushed him backward and sat on the top of his torso, with body bent downward, she tucked her strand of hair behind her ear and ravaged his lips as if no day will come after tomorrow.

(***)

The everlasting make out progressed too long that the bright sun became sleepy and went into its slumber, the lunar looked into its left and right before creeping out from whenever hole it previously hid.

Naruto stood outside the building while stared at Mingyu who stayed in the front of the double leaf door.

"So... I'll see you at work?" Naruto chuckled while softly set his cerulean eyes at the purple-orange streak haired woman.

Mingyu nodded, with a light curve on her lips, she said: "I'll see you too..." She paused before another ruddy color smeared her face, "Honey..."

Naruto startled at the special name she reserved for him, eventually he laughed, "Alright! Sweetheart, see you soon!" He strolled forward while his upper body still faced at her direction as he waved his hand.

The night time in Sunday moment came a bit peaceful than usual days, perhaps people already prepared for another busy time in the next day or school hours for students.

Naruto usually just going to flash his way toward home, not to mention the distance that quite far, but he refrained himself from doing so.

After he had make quite a distance from Mingyu's building, Naruto paved his way toward a dark alley, with several turn and confusing corner, he stopped and said without turning around, "Seriously, we have just met for a day, but for you to like me this far even put on effort stalking me..."

"I am quite flattered, Zu Liang."

From the dark corner of the alley, a figure with a thick coat and head cap strode out, his face twisted in an ugly way and filled with hate for the blonde.

Naruto still didn't turn around as if the figure behind him held no danger or a slightest significant for him.

Zu Liang twitched his lips, with a pair of sinister lights in his eyes, he said: "How long have you been noticing my action?"

Naruto lifted his shoulder slightly, "Since the second I left Mingyu's apartment building."

"Then why you didn't try to get away? Or pick a cab to go home?" Zu Liang frowned.

"Aww, if I do that, I would have miss the chance to meet my fan..."

"Who's your fan?!" Zu Liang growled, his face became grim with darkened tone, "Mingyu should have been mine if not for your interference..."

"Well dude, let me make this clear," Naruto waved his hand but still faced the same direction as Zu Liang, "with me or without me, Mingyu wouldn't be able to accept your feeling because inside her heart, she only hold true love for her ex."

"He is dead, what's the use of true love for someone who rot in the ground and decay in the sea, I believe with my effort, Mingyu soon will fall into my embrace, I believe I can wear down her believe and make her forget about her ex!" Zu Liang spat his words at Naruto.

"He is not dead..." Naruto frowned, then he glanced at the dark sky with a faint smile, "as someone who hold her dear, I want the best for her happiness, thus I believe her ex is still alive somewhere, perhaps one day, he will return, and when that time come, Mingyu will have to choose."

A genuine soft gaze filled the pair of cerulean eyes he possessed, "And I support the decision she will make, even if that mean I have to disappear... "

Naruto's tone is full of care and believe, it even make the wind swayed his attire gently and warm atmosphere caressed his skin.

But Zu Liang didn't care with his lamentation, he only curled his lips in disdain manner, "Heh, you are fool then for believing in such a nonsense, if her ex ever going to be alive, then I am going to do just like what I am going to do to you..." He squinted his eyes, "I am going to make him disappear once again..."

"For a merchant you certainly have a lot of confidence in doing such a deed..." Naruto chuckled.

"I have been traveled into many places and countries, dealing with a variety of people, let it be them who walk under the light or those who lurk in the dark..." Zu Liang smirked, a cold visage flashed before his eyes, "do you know the recent breakthrough in drugs department?"

"Should I care?"

"You will be soon..." Zu Liang slanted his lips, "government had secretly undergo the test of the new prototype of drugs that can enchant someone's attribute for twice if not trice fold of their current one.

Strength, speed, stamina, regeneration, reflex, just name it all, and they shall enchant it all.

A samples from a population had been chosen to receive the drugs treatment, they had succeeded on increasing them in a small scale, but as the test progressed and developed further, the samples started showing a sign of abnormality, from strange behavior to a violent tendency, thus the researcher made a conclusion that albeit the subjects attribute received the boost stimulation but it also damage the very core of human themselves, their brain.

Since the result is still unacceptable and dangerous, the drugs is yet to distribute but several people manage to get the hand of it, those who work in underworld gangster definitely interested in such rare item, and merchant who could provide it for them will have the sea of gold await for them."

Zu Liang curled his lips, "I believe you already get the idea..."

"So you as the lucky merchant sell such items to them, bla bla, you get rich and what? You going to batter me to death with money?" Naruto chuckled.

"Of course not..."Zu Liang frowned, his face getting darker, "I am going to show you the prowess of the drug..."

"And make you take it to the grave, that Mingyu only belong to me!"

*Bam!*

In the instant, the lean man disappeared from his initial spot and arrived behind Naruto, he lashed out his hand and aimed it hard toward the golden hair in front, the air even let out a booming sound. Zu Liang believe with such a swift movement, Naruto wouldn't be able to reach in time and he will suffer a great damage into the back of his head, which can cause an instant kill for anyone with weak structure.

Naruto tilted his head to the side and raised his arm along, as Zu Liang's hand pa.s.sed beside his right ear, Naruto pushed his right elbow and hit the man's face with it.

*Bang!*

Zu Liang stumbled several steps backward with a red mark on his face.

Naruto looked at his elbow and rubbed it slowly, "Hard indeed, but I had fight someone harder before..." Naruto glanced to him over his shoulder, a taunting smirk adorned his lips, "I guess the so called enchantment drugs is not so awesome as you think."

Zu Liang widened his eyes, with a denial on his face, he angrily shouted and made another attempt to punch Naruto's head.

Naruto dodged it to the side, he grabbed Zu Liang arm with his left hand, he punched it once then swiftly decked Zu Liang's waist, he bent his body and went beside Zu Liang's right side while twisting his arm along, he swept Zu Liang's right leg and let go his arm at the same time, making the lean man fell flat into the ground.

Zu Liang felt his face became numb at the impact toward the concrete ground, he also felt pain on his arm and sprain on his shoulder.

Naruto stayed, a smirk manifested on his lips, "Power increase indeed, defense became immeasurable, speed turn unfathomable, but a fight not a mere punch or kick, just because you suddenly can crush a stone with a punch doesn't mean you suddenly can fight..."

Zu Liang rose on his feet, he gritted his teeth and clenched his hands in anger, he fished out something from his pocket, it's a pill case. He popped it open and chucked one pill into his throat.

"Woah, you can take a pill without a water, that is awesome!" Naruto clapped his hands.

"Joke while you stil can..." Zu Liang sneered, "the next thing will make you scream in fear!"

"Aaarghh!"

Zu Liang roared as his muscle bulged all of the sudden, vein popped out from his temple and his eyes filled with red thread.

'Fascinating,' Naruto grinned, his palm made a provocation gesture, "Come on, don't be shy~"

"Die!" Zu Liang sprung out, his speed and agility seemed increase in a high degree!

Less then a second, a tall figure showed right before Naruto's eyes and he hammered down his enlarged fist.

Naruto use both hands to block the incoming impact, the dull sound sparked in the atmosphere.

In a swift manner, Zu Liang launched his left hand and struck his fist to Naruto's abdomen.

Naruto didn't dodge the incoming attack, he instead lashed out his right fist and jabbed Zu Liang's throat with it.

No matter how strong your body enchantment, five things will always be your weakness: Throat, eyes, joint, foothold, and male private part.

"Gack!"

Zu Liang felt a pain on his neck and the inability to breath freely, he stumbled backward, his hands about to grasp his own neck.

Naruto didn't let this chance go away, he strode forward, performing several hit on Zu Liang's body, started from his abdomen, then he went into Zu Liang's knee, as the enemy fell into his knees, Naruto hooked punch his face several times, right and left, making Zu Liang became dizzy and blood spew from his mouth, along with a few of his teeth.

Naruto finished his attack by grabbing Zu Liang's hair and slammed his face into Naruto's right knee.

Nose broke and forehead bruises.

Zu Liang fell into his back and his body painfully wiggled. Naruto didn't proceed further, he looked for a trash bin and sat on it, both arms crossover his chest.

"You know, I am not with Mingyu just because she's beautiful or hot, to be honest, I have met many woman far prettier than her, what attracted me to Mingyu is that I understand what she's feeling, waiting for the happiness she sought to arrive despite many enticements came to stray her path.

What you want from her is not just move on from her feeling but also make her forget the existence of her ex, this is unacceptable because that's what she is today, her memory of her ex that build her into the woman that attract your attention."

"Hahaha!" Zu Liang wiped his b.l.o.o.d.y nose, a crazed appearance filled his face, "what a bulls.h.i.t, I don't believe someone can be that significant to her, she already like that from the beginning, it's her inborn characteristic!"

Naruto sighed, "I take it she never tell you about what she's like before met her ex?"

Zu Liang twitched his lips, despite he knew about her past but mostly in general description such as how long she and her ex had been together, what moment they met, and other general stuff.

She never tell him that she's a wild and uncultivated woman before, acting like a boy. Or her bitter feeling whenever she mention about her ex.

That probably because Zu Liang himself also only care for Mingyu in the present, he only care to conquer her, to make her his without even consider Mingyu's burden.

He didn't now the gentle smile she gave him whenever he asked about her ex not only bore a joy but also sorrow and pain. Thus Zu Liang will never understand what Mingyu's going through.

Naruto... is different, not only he know someone true emotion based on their aura, he also had seen that smile many time in the past. The smile that brought him the greatest pain.

Because he knew what they mean, but he choose to ignore.

Zu Liang raised his body and stood on his feet, he stared at the blonde in front with hate on his eyes but mixed with a flavor of fear.

It was true about what this blonde mention in regard of fighting, if two inexperience people struggle in a fight, most they know are throwing punch and kick, the winner are the one who hit the hardest.

But when it comes to experienced people, they will clash in technique and skill, the one who would win is the one who can counter his enemy's strike with his technique and overcome the incoming attack with his skill.

Zu Liang realized the man in front of him actually had a knowledge in a fight, this bringing him a great of a trouble.

Perhaps he could defeat him if he took another pill...

But the allowance limit of taking it was only twice for certain amount of times, if he took another, not only his brain could crumble but the repercussion after it's over can damage his body greatly.

Zu Liang clenched his hands, the thought of failing to kill the man he hate almost making him cough a mouthful of blood.

But the side effect also cannot be ignore...

Naruto stared at Zu Liang who froze in his spot with red face as if he would explode at any moment, Naruto let out a sigh, "Look, I usually won't let something as danger as you to be alive, especially when you are this close around Mingyu, but I give a chance to walk away, if you promise no longer chase after Mingyu. Don't worry, you can stay at your old place, h.e.l.l be friend with her if she allow you to. Mingyu previously considered you as her friend, and believe me man, don't let such a chance walk away, who knows maybe in the future because you are a friend with her, she introduce you into someone that can replace her within your heart.

As a man, I give you an advise, take this chance, as a human, I also give you an advice, take this chance.

Give up now and live for another day. There is no honor or glory to cheer if you lay behind the funeral board."

Zu Liang listened to Naruto's words with closed eyes, soon the flushed anger on his chest resided, albeit his muscle still bulge, veins marked his skin, and eyes filled with red thread, but something on his visage that no longer appeared grim and depressed. Instead, he seemed peaceful.

Zu Liang opened his eyelids and stared briefly at the man before him, the genuine serene expression this man wore as if he hold true to his words and the real meaning within it.

His face became bitter, then a wry smile appeared on his lips, it's a wry one but held no malice.

"No wonder Mingyu take a liking upon you, you are really out of the kind."

Naruto waved his head, "I am the same as you, a man with a lot of mistake and unfulfilled wishes, we both love the same person but we don't have to be enemy, Mingyu is not belong to anyone, she's her own person, it's up to her, which she's like..."

Then he grinned brightly, "Alas, we both can't beat that hateful ex of her, that make us even~"

Zu Liang startled, looking at Naruto who grinned with such relaxed face at the person who just try to kill him brought a different sense inside his heart and complicated emotion, after a long time of silence, Zu Liang sighed and he let out chuckle, "Yeah."

(***)

In the Dragon villa, inside one of the houses, Ruoxi yawned as she close a heavy book on her lap.

Being a CEO is a work without an hour, while an employee's work duration had been set up by the city's regulation, no one care about CEO's period.

In the weekend, while normal worker can enjoy the watching tv cable series or went into shopping with a friend, CEO like her had to read a book or company's monthly report to prepare for a future plan. At anytime and anywhere, she always had to be ready whenever the situation raised up.

Who said that after the company became bigger, CEO job would become easier, the bigger company mean more facility here and there, the increasing need in labour force, more budget need to manage, and many other thing.

Ruoxi stood from her chair and stretched her body, her beautiful curve appeared on the outline of her long sleeve shirt and black short pants.

She left the desk and watched the outside scenery behind the gla.s.s toward the balcony.

The moon appeared bright today, as if it lit with excited l.u.s.ter.

She remember her first time handle Yu Lei under the tutelage of her grandmother, by the time she admitted to the hospital, Ruoxi had been replacing her position as the CEO and managed her baby. Ruoxi loved being near her grandmother, her venerable and loving voice always made her comfortable and couldn't help wanted to be spoil. Even when she was already in such a lady age, Ruoxi always acted spiteful in front of her and a.s.sumed a child behavior.

But her grandmother never angry, even when she making a mistake in managing the company, her grandmother will patiently explained it to her, and slowly made her understand.

After she pa.s.sed away, part of Ruoxi's heart also missing, gone under the soil toward the place she couldn't forever retrieve. No one help her withstood the burden on taking care the company, w.a.n.g Ma and Qianni can only do so much but none of them capable as worth as her grandmother.

She became cold and distant, there is the time when she just briefly respond to w.a.n.g Ma or ignore Qianni completely. Luckily, both person understood Ruoxi's situation and they never bother with it.

Ruoxi raised her fingers and pressed her smooth temple, she could feel a slight comfortable pressure being applied to them but it wasn't enough to relieve her ache.

The problem with Xu Zhihong also brought her a lot of stressful situation, she understood that several problems she faced in company came from his influence over her work relation. There was this time when the usual fabric producer that used to work with her company, all of the sudden demanded for more payment, albeit they are still under one contract.

They said the fabric material had some difficulty and the labor also slow at their work, after she took her time in researching for the information behind the case, turned out the fault lay behind Xu Zhihong's influence in corrupting some executive on the fabric company and giving their labor a lot of hard times.

Without had much other choice, Yu Lei in the end resigned and they made a new contract, but the price they demanded is too unreasonable that Ruoxi didn't have a choice but forcing her hand.

She blackmailed the CEO of the fabric company in attempt of s.e.xually hara.s.sing her.

She felt no guilty over the thing she had did, even after she heard a lot of labor was fired by the fabric company. Yet it only hold for so long, after the problems concluded, that feeling... surged inside her, the uncomfortable sense of using other people in our whim, especially when they are not in fault, the lost of many people's job, this pain of picturing how they eat or where they live, whether they are starving or not...

It's a painful stabbed feeling that sometime kept her at night, even unable to sleep properly. She poured all the guilt into her work and promised herself such situation no longer occur. But she could only do so far.

Mistakes will always been made, as she not a G.o.dly being.

A mere mortal, with a lot of burden on her shoulder.

*Tap!* *Tap!*

Ruoxi's ear twitched with the sounds of knocking on her door, she heaved her chest, and fixed her complexion, she glanced toward the door and flashed out a faint smile, "Come in..."

The door swung open, the figure that appeared instantly brightened her heart and dispersed the gloomy thought, with that little smile on his face, this person akin to a sun that delivered her into a dawn and braved a new day with a cheerful thought.

"Hey, I heard you didn't eat anything yet..." the person strolled in, his face as if never know the bound of sadness or grief. He always smile, looking strong for her eyes to feast.

"Um, I am not hungry..." Ruoxi waved her head, the person arrived before her then pull her soft body into his embrace.

"That wouldn't do, what if you had fallen ill?" the man st.u.r.dy body surrounded her like a boiling teapot but not hot enough to harm her, instead, it's warm and good to be hugged.

"Mmm," Ruoxi rested her cheek on his chest, a lazy and meek young lady temperament manifested on her expression. Anyone who saw the usual arrogant and cold CEO now akin to a mild concubine like this perhaps will scream that the world had gone end.

"Do you want me to take you eat outside?" the person buried his face on her fragrant hair.

"I don't wanna eat~" Ruoxi honked her mouth cutely. The cold CEO turned out can act cute like this.

"Then how about... if we go somewhere special?" the person didn't get mad with her temperament, he just grinned cheekily.

"Where we are going to go?" Her crystal black eyes lit with expectation.

"Well it won't be special anymore, if I told you now~" the man slanted his lips.

"Humph, jerk~" Ruoxi curled her lips, then she left his embrace, turned him around and pushed his back, "then get out now, I am going to change my clothes and you not allowed to peek or I am not going anywhere~"

The man with blonde hair shook his head in a helpless manner, "Yes, my princess..."

Ruoxi giggled as she closed the door behind him, she stopped for a while and traced the door with a gentle gaze.

Grandma, why I am happy when he's around?

Grandma, you said there will be the day that I will feel happy if I see a person, feel sad when he leave, feel miss when he gone, and feel dear when he speak.

Grandma, I ask you what I am going to do if I found someone like that?

You said in a simple answer: "My dear Xixi... you marry him."
