So Pure, So Flirtatious

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Zhou Tianxiang was shocked. He didn’t expect Old Charles to be ruthless at this time, but Zhou Tianxiang was really in a difficult situation. He didn’t want to interfere with his daughter’s affairs. It was her daughter’s matter to love whomever she wanted. Zhou Tianxiang would only support and would not object.

Originally, he felt that he had already owed his daughter very much. He had not been at home for many years, and he did not fulfill his responsibility as a father, so he was even less qualified to ask his daughter to do anything!

However, now there was a rather serious problem. If what Old Charles told him was true, and really asked him to leave, then it would be a serious matter!

It was not that Zhou Tianxiang was reluctant to do this job. On the contrary, he was willing to return to Song Jiang to reunite with his family. After all, Mother Zhou’s business was also very profitable, and his daughter had grown up. He did not need to worry too much. His family of three could live happily together. How happy would that be!?

However, would Old Charles let Zhou Tianxiang go so easily? What did the Charles Family do? Zhou Tianxiang knew better than anyone else. He knew too much about the inside story of the Charles Family. Would Old Charles let him go?

Zhou Tianxiang was afraid that once he stepped out, the assassin sent by Old Charles would look for him and kill him directly. This was what Zhou Tianxiang was worried about.

So after Zhou Tianxiang was called by Old Charles to talk, he sat alone in his room, smoking. He had no clue how to solve this problem.

The internal telephone in the room suddenly sounded. Zhou Tianxiang was shocked and picked up the phone anxiously. The one who made the call was Old Charles!

“Butler Zhou, have you considered it?” The voice of Old Charles came from the phone, and it made Zhou Tianxiang feel very depressed.

“Master, this matter is a big deal after all. You have to let me think about it.” Zhou Tianxiang knew that all he was doing was stalling for time. He had no good countermeasure at all.

“There is nothing to consider. Just say if you can do it or not. I don’t have a lot of patience!” Old Charles said. “That’s it. Tonight, you give me a reply. Otherwise, you can leave immediately!”

“This… okay!” Zhou Tianxiang sighed. Whatever happens is meant to happen… It seems that I really can’t escape this disaster this time.

Old Charles hung up the phone coldly. Zhou Tianxiang had to make a decision as soon as possible. He only had less than half a day.

Since the first day Zhou Tianxiang started serving Charles Family, he knew that his life might not end well. Therefore, he rarely mentioned the matters over there to Mother Zhou and Zhou Jiajia; he just told them he was working for a big family. Although Mother Zhou was not very willing, Zhou Tianxiang could make a lot of money every year, and Zhou Tianxiang said that he would only be doing that for a few years, so Mother Zhou also agreed reluctantly.

But she didn’t know his inside story, so now, Zhou Tianxiang must confess to her with the current situation.

Thinking of this, Zhou Tianxiang sighed, picked up the phone, and dialed the phone of Mother Zhou on the other side of the globe.

“Hello, it’s me.” Zhou Tianxiang’s voice was a bit low.

“Old Zhou, what’s wrong? Why are you calling me suddenly?” Mother Zhou was slightly surprised. Generally, Zhou Tianxiang had a fixed time to call her, but today was obviously not the case.

“Something happened here…” Although Zhou Tianxiang did not want to say this, there was no other way. Some things needed to be explained in advance.

“What happened? What do you mean?” Mother Zhou became anxious, and she asked quickly.

“Actually, I have never told the truth to you and Jiajia about what I am doing here…” Zhou Tianxiang sighed helplessly, “I am actually working as a butler for an assassin group…”

“Ah!” Mother Zhou was shocked, and her tone was a bit unnatural. “Old Zhou, today is not April Fool’s Day. Are you kidding me?”

“No!” Zhou Tianxiang said affirmatively, “Dear, you listen to me. It’s all true… If I can work all the way until I retire, maybe they can still let me go, but now… I am afraid it will not work…”

“Old Zhou, then you work until retiring. It’s fine. I am not in a hurry. Jiajia and I will be waiting for you to come back!” Mother Zhou was shocked and said quickly.

“I’m afraid this won’t work…” Zhou Tianxiang said, “The family’s master has just made some very excessive request from me. I have no way to promise him…”

“What is the request?” Mother Zhou was a little excited. “Old Zhou, you just agree with whatever he requests. As long as you are alive, everything will be fine. Is he asking for money? I can give my money to him. We don’t want anything…”

“It’s not a question of money…” Zhou Tianxiang said with a bitter smile, “They don’t lack money… It’s not so good to say… It’s the son of the master. I don’t know how he went to Song Jiang, and he saw Jiajia. This is such a coincidence. I don’t know how he recognized Jiajia to be my daughter, and he fell in love with Jiajia at first sight, so the master just proposed marriage to me…”

“Ah?” Mother Zhou only felt that this thing was a bit too dramatic after listening. How is this possibly related? “Is your master using this as an excuse to eliminate you?”

It was no wonder that Mother Zhou would doubt that after all. These were two different places in two different countries. The master’s son went to Song Jiang. This matter sounded strange, no matter what.

“No… I can be sure.” Zhou Tianxiang sighed. “This time, I basically can’t escape. I will tell you about my Swiss bank account. There are still sixty million dollars in it. It’s what I have accumulated over the years. Because the number is really large, I didn’t dare tell you. Now, I will leave the money to you and Jiajia…”

“Wait…” Mother Zhou now really realized the seriousness of the matter. Zhou Tianxiang’s tone was already like making arrangements for his funeral. “Old Zhou, have you asked Jiajia about this matter? Are there any hidden stories and misunderstandings?”

“Not yet. I will call Jiajia in a while.” Zhou Tianxiang smiled bitterly, “But there should be no misunderstanding.”

“Can you agree with him first, then try to drag it out and plan this matter again? Or after you promised him, you can say that you want to go home and prepare, and then never return to Europe again. Anyway, he can’t do anything to you in the country,” Mother Zhou said quickly.

“Ai…” Zhou Tianxiang shook his head. “Don’t forget what the Charles family is doing. They are an assassin group! I will face the danger of being assassinated anywhere around the world. I might even put you two in danger!”

Mother Zhou had no concept of assassins, but after listening to Zhou Tianxiang, she was also very stunned. She did not know what to do.

“So… then… then… what do we do…” Mother Zhou had no solutions, and her voice seemed helpless.

“There is no way.” Zhou Tianxiang sighed. “Tonight is the deadline. Now, I will call Jiajia and then contact you again…”

“Okay, okay!” Mother Zhou was now flustered. She didn’t know what to do.

Zhou Tianxiang dialed Zhou Jiajia’s phone. At this moment, Zhou Jiajia was in the villa, chatting with Yang Ming along with Chen Mengyan and Lin Zhiyun via online video.

The phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number. Zhou Jiajia was stunned. She was hesitating whether or not to pick up the phone. After all, it was rare that Yang Ming wanted to chat with them today. Zhou Jiajia couldn’t bear losing the opportunity.

Yang Ming also saw Zhou Jiajia’s difficulty over there, so he smiled and said, “Jiajia, pick up the phone first. Maybe it is your family member. I have nothing to do tonight; I can keep chatting with you.”

“Then… I will go.” Zhou Jiajia nodded obediently. She went out of the room and picked up the phone.

“Jiajia, are you okay?” Zhou Tianxiang said with some emotions. His daughter was already so big. The time that he spent with her was less than two years.

“Dad?” Zhou Jiajia was stunned. She didn’t expect her father would call at this time, but she was somewhat surprised. “Dad, how come you’re suddenly calling me?”

“…Nothing. Dad just misses you. I wanted to hear your voice.” Zhou Tianxiang did not know how to speak. With Mother Zhou, he could tell his current situation unscrupulously; but with Zhou Jiajia, Zhou Tianxiang was afraid that if he talked too much, he would make his daughter worry.

“Dad, do you have something the matter?” Zhou Jiajia was also very sensitive. She was nineteen years old; she was not a little girl who knew nothing. Especially after the Wang Zhitao incident, it made Zhou Jiajia mature a lot.

Zhou Tianxiang didn’t think Zhou Jiajia was so sensitive. He only said two sentences, and she noticed something. He sighed helplessly. “Jiajia, do you know a person named Charles?”

“Charles?” Zhou Jiajia was astounded and fell into deep thought. The name was very unfamiliar; she had not heard of it. But since father asked this, it must be very important, so Zhou Jiajia thought carefully.

“You don’t know him?” Zhou Tianxiang didn’t expect his daughter to seem to know nothing.

“It seems like I remembered it. I have a little impression of him… There was one time when I had dinner with Yang Ming. A guy who was called Racer Charles talked to me. He seemed to be… fond of me…” Zhou Jiajia finally remembered who Charles was. “Why Dad? Why do you suddenly ask about this person?”

“Sure enough… he really knows you.” Zhou Tianxiang finally confirmed it. “Jiajia, you have to take care of your mother in the future…”

“Dad, what the hell are you talking about? Why are you acting so strange?” Zhou Jiajia was dumbfounded listening to it. What do I have to take care of my mother in the future? What about him?

“Nothing…” Zhou Tianxiang was most reluctant about his own baby daughter. He had never loved her since she was a child. Zhou Tianxiang still thought about how to fulfill his responsibility as her father after he retired a few years later, but now, it didn’t seem possible…

“Dad, you must have something. Tell me now. What the hell is going on?” Zhou Jiajia was anxious.

“Nothing; really nothing. Alright, Dad just wants to hear your voice.” Zhou Tianxiang was afraid that he couldn’t hold himself from crying, so he said quickly, “Okay, that’s it…”

“Dad, does Mom know something? I will call Mom now!” How could Zhou Jiajia just let him be? She was not stupid; she realized that something must have happened.

“Okay…” Zhou Tianxiang finally nodded. He felt that his daughter needed to know. After all, his daughter could inquire about the truth when she called her mother. It was better to tell his daughter himself.

“En, you quickly tell me then.” Seeing her father loosened his mouth, Zhou Jiajia also breathed a sigh of relief and held the phone tight.

“Actually, Dad is not doing business abroad…” Zhou Tianxiang said, “I am working as a butler for an assassin group instead. They are engaged in some assassination business. I am the head butler of this family; I am responsible for some complicated affairs… …If it goes well, the family’s master might let me retire safely for the fact that I have worked hard for half a lifetime… But now, I am afraid I can’t.”

“Why? Dad, did you do something wrong?” Zhou Jiajia was shocked. Although she was shocked that her father was working for an assassin group, Zhou Jiajia had a strong mental capacity; she didn’t have too many doubts. After all, she didn’t think that her father would lie to her at this time.

“I have to start from the beginning…” Zhou Tianxiang said, “That Charles, in fact, is the Young Master of the Charles Family I serve. I don’t know how he went to Song Jiang and met you… but according to my master, he fell in love with you at first glance, so my master to proposed to me a marriage today. He wants you to marry his son… and he gave me two choices; I have to give him a reply before tonight – Either I let you marry his son, Charles, or I leave the Charles family…”

“Then just leave. How great is that you can come back and live with Mom?” Zhou Jiajia didn’t understand why her father was worried. This is a good thing, right?

Moreover, that Charles is actually the young master of the family that my father serves. Isn’t that amazing? Zhou Jiajia was a little confused. But it seems that Charles seems to be afraid of Yang Ming, right? So, what is Yang Ming’s identity?

Zhou Jiajia had long been suspicious about Yang Ming’s other status, but she never asked, because she didn’t think it was necessary. She liked Yang Ming; no matter what Yang Ming did or what identity he was, he was still Yang Ming who was the person she loved. Therefore, Zhou Jiajia didn’t ask more.

But now things were getting more and more complicated. Zhou Jiajia would inevitably think of Yang Ming.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

“How can it be so simple!” Zhou Tianxiang sighed and said helplessly, “I know too many secrets of the Charles Family, and this time I am going against them; it’s not a proper retirement. I can feel the anger from the master’s eyes. I’m afraid that if I leave, an assassin will immediately come and kill me…”

Zhou Jiajia frowned. If it is as my father said, then the matter is serious!

“Is there no room to maneuver?” Zhou Jiajia didn’t like the Charles at all. She could never marry Charles, but she was also worried about her father’s safety. For a time, Zhou Jiajia fell into a dilemma.

“Hehe, rest assured, Jiajia. Dad won’t force you to do anything. It’s just that Dad can’t wait to attend your wedding; I can’t watch you put on a wedding dress…” As Zhou Tianxiang spoke up to here, his voice was somewhat sobbing. He was afraid that he could not restrain his emotions, so he quickly said, “Okay, Jiajia, Dad wishes you happiness…”

After that, Zhou Tianxiang hung up the phone. He was not afraid that Zhou Jiajia would do anything stupid for him, because the headquarters of the Charles family was very secret. The people who weren’t the same as assassins wouldn’t know where they were, so Zhou Jiajia couldn’t find him. Even if Zhou Jiajia gives up her relationship to save him, she couldn’t find this place.

Therefore, Zhou Tianxiang would only tell Zhou Jiajia about the original situation of the matter. He was not afraid of having any consequences.

“Dad…” Zhou Jiajia still wanted to say something, but she noticed that the phone call ended. She shook her head helplessly. Although she could use technology to hack the mobile phone operator’s network and search the transit server of the phone layer by layer, and then finally determine the number of the call, it would take quite a while! Father said that he needed to reply “tonight.” Even if Zhou Jiajia was a hacker, she couldn’t achieve it in such a short amount of time!

Zhou Jiajia sighed and walked back into the room with worries. She wanted to call her mother, but she also knew that Dad would definitely continue to talk to her mother at this time.

“Jiajia, are you back? Just now, Yang Ming asked why you were away for so long; he starts to miss you already!” Chen Mengyan saw Zhou Jiajia come back, and she couldn’t help but tease.

“Oh… hehe…” Zhou Jiajia smiled forcibly.

“Jiajia, what’s the matter?” Chen Mengyan saw Zhou Jiajia’s smile was very unnatural, so she asked with some doubts.

“Nothing…” Zhou Jiajia didn’t want to influence everyone talking in such a happy moment because of her mood.

“Jiajia, who called you? What happened?” Yang Ming was the best at reading others’ faces. Although he was far away, he could still see Zhou Jiajia being low-spirited from the camera.

“No… nothing…” Zhou Jiajia forced a smile. “I am… I am a little uncomfortable…”

“Jiajia, you look a little absent-minded now. This lie is really too fake.” Yang Ming frowned. “We are a family now. What else can’t you tell me?”

“I…” Zhou Jiajia couldn’t control her emotions under Yang Ming’s pressure. Her tears couldn’t help but fall down. “Yang Ming… Can you save my father…”

“Your father? What happened to your father?” Yang Ming was astounded, then he asked.
