The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 34

Prev | Directory | Next

[When is Uncle Yan coming over? I still need to talk to him more about starting the entertainment company.]

Suddenly, a voice flashed through Yan Xuan's ears. He thought Mo Keyu had started talking, but when he turned to look, she was just staring down at her phone, and no one else in the room had reacted.

He tapped his own forehead. Maybe he was still a little out of it from just getting off the plane.

[Second Young Master knows more about this stuff anyway. He should be back soon, since he got kicked out by his Zhaozhao last night.]

Yan Xuan's eyes widened. He was one hundred percent sure Mo Keyu hadn't moved her lips just now, but he'd heard something in her voice again?

Wait a sec—could he read minds?!

He looked over at the nearby servants. They didn't react at all.

A moment later, Yan Fangping walked over. "Yueqian will be here soon. Keyu, go ahead and start eating."

"I'll wait for Sister Yueqian," Mo Keyu replied politely.

[Everything on the table is my favorite! What's taking Sister Yueqian so long? I wanna eat, wanna eat, wanna eat—my mouth's watering already.]

Now Yan Xuan was completely certain—that voice was connected to Mo Keyu.

He looked over at his dad. Yan Fangping didn't look surprised at all, though the corners of his mouth did lift a bit.

Outside the door came the sound of high heels clicking across the floor, getting closer.

The door opened, and a stunning woman walked in. Her fitted office outfit made her look even more polished and impressive.

Yan Yueqian glanced coldly at Mo Keyu without saying a word, then went to sit next to Yan Xuan.

"Yueqian, this is your Uncle Mo's daughter, Mo Keyu. You've met a few times before," Yan Fangping said, but before he could finish, she just went, "I know."

"Keyu's thinking about starting her own company. Since you're already running Moonlight Entertainment, maybe you could help her out a bit?" Yan Fangping cut straight to the point.

Yan Yueqian looked a bit impatient. Sure, the girl was the daughter of her father's old friend, but they barely knew each other—why should she offer her any insider tips? She was already busy enough with her own stuff, and now she'd have to mentor someone too?

She was about to say something when a childish little thought popped up:

[Uncle Yan's so nice, going straight to the point like that.]

That innocent tone caught her off guard. She gave Mo Keyu a suspicious look, then glanced around the room. It seemed like no one else had heard it... but Yan Xuan's expression looked a little weird.

"I'll... take a look first," Yan Yueqian said, neither agreeing nor rejecting outright.

"Yueqian, don't brush this off. You've gotta help Keyu out with this. Your Uncle Mo and I go way back. You don't remember, but he used to carry you around when you were little," Yan Fangping said.

"Alright, alright, I got it," Yan Yueqian replied half-heartedly.

Just then, her phone went off with a specially set ringtone.

She picked it up, and when she saw the message, the serious look on her face melted into something that almost looked like a smile.

Right then, the system's gossip radar suddenly activated and started chattering away in Mo Keyu's ears again.

[The one texting is Miss Yan's duck*. He was originally just a regular little duck she met at a club, but because he's hot and sweet-talking, he recently got promoted to her golden duck.]

(*a C-slang, a male escort or a gigolo.)

[Huh?]

Last time, the system had been too focused on talking about Second Young Master Yan. As for the eldest Yan daughter, everyone around said she was powerful, so Mo Keyu hadn't really asked the system about her.

[Host, it's pretty common for rich women to keep pretty boys, but...]

[But what?]

[Her duck has issues.]

[What kind of issues?]

[He looks like a ripped muscle guy, charming and good at sweet-talking, but in reality, his body's done for. He's all show, no go.]

[Maybe she just wanted a platonic relationship?]

[Nah, the guy's wrecked because he was too wild when he was younger. He's completely ruined now. Miss Yan even bought him a luxury car. But behind her back, this golden duck thinks she's easy to fool. Right now he's texting her while cuddling up with other babes.]

[Wait, so Miss Yan's duck is using her money, driving her car, and hooking up with other girls?]

Mo Keyu was honestly amazed by the diversity of species out there. A duck like that, just relying on his sweet mouth, could actually rake in that much?

[But seriously, how could a domineering CEO babe like her get scammed by someone like that?]

[Maybe it's her first time keeping a duck. Lack of experience. Sometimes when you've been at the top too long, you get lonely and just want someone around for fun.]

[Still, I feel like if she keeps that guy around long-term, he's definitely gonna turn into trouble.]

Mo Keyu was so absorbed in the system's commentary that she didn't even notice how quiet the room had gotten.

But Yan Fangping and Yan Xuan, who had been listening, didn't understand any of it. What duck? What domineering CEO babe? Were they talking about Yueqian?

Yan Xuan, fresh back from overseas, took a second to register—wait, were they saying his sister was keeping a duck?

They'd never heard anything about Yan Yueqian having a duck. All they knew was she was always busy with work and barely came home.

Even Yan Fangping had been trying to set her up with someone lately, thinking she was about the right age to settle down.

Only Yan Yueqian's expression had suddenly turned sour.

No one in the room had said a word. She hadn't told anyone about the duck, but that voice kept echoing in her head, even saying the guy wasn't "clean."

At the same time, the pretty boy was still sending her texts—several of them now—saying he was staying home cooking, asking what she liked to eat so he could learn to make it for her. The messages were super wholesome, like he was just some little househusband.

She had asked him about his background before. He said he came from a poor family, parents divorced when he was young, grew up drifting around, and only got into that line of work because he had no other choice...

He always said he'd been forced into it in the past. That ever since he met her, it was like his life finally saw light. He promised to turn over a new leaf and be with the one he truly loved.

But now, Yan Yueqian—who was used to navigating the ruthless world of business—fell silent.
