Chapter 122: Chapter 125: Women’s Heart, Needle at the Seabed_1

Zhang Miao chuckled, "Who in the Bounty World doesn’t have secrets? Yang Gang, can you decisively slap your chest and assure us that you’re not keeping any from us?"

"Hehehehe"

Yang Gang gave an awkward smile. He really couldn’t refute that because indeed, he’d been keeping secrets from Zhang Miao.

Like the matter of cell division.

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes and chose not to respond, returning to her cooking.

Watching Zhang Miao’s busy figure, Yang Gang gently smiled and said, "Sister Miao, even though you’re not that old, but you seem very mature."

As she was stir-frying vegetables, Zhang Miao helplessly replied, "What else can I do? A best friend, a little sister, and two little brothers all need me to look after them. If I weren’t mature, how would I cope? Can I really rely on you, father?"

Puff!

Yang Gang almost choked on his own spit.

Relying on that old fox of a foster dad? Might as well clasp your hands together and pray to God.

"Alright, quit your jabbering and go wait in the living room," Zhang Miao chuckled.

Yang Gang smiled and made his way back to the living room.

After a bit, a plated of braised pork, and sweet and sour pork ribs with a bowl of porridge and two bowls of rice were served onto the table.

All his favorite dishes.

Yang Gang put a piece of braised pork in Zhang Miao’s bowl, grinning and said, "Sister Miao, here you go."

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes, "Using my own dish to woo me, Gang, you’re such a sly one."

Yang Gang chuckled, picking up a piece of braised pork and gorging down on it, he said, "Sister Miao, I’m genuinely curious, you’re excellent at everything, don’t you have any weaknesses?"

"Hehe~Gang, prying into my weaknesses, what are you up to?" Zhang Miao teased with a gentle laugh.

Yang Gang scratched his head, "Nothing really, I’m just in awe of you."

"Stop messing around. Finish your food quickly; we need to go to the Yang family." Zhang Miao paused for a moment, looked at Yang Gang, thoughtfully added, "Gang, you have a very strong learning ability, why aren’t you learning to cook?"

"Little Xi didn’t let me learn," Yang Gang put another piece of the sweet and sour pork in Zhang Miao’s bowl as he spoke.

Zhang Miao laughed lightly and asked, "Do you know why Little Xi doesn’t want you to learn?"

"Why?" Yang Gang put down his chopsticks, looking dejected, "It’s definitely because she wants to control my food and scam me out of my meal cost."

Zhang Miao chuckled, "Maybe there are other reasons."

"Other reasons?" Yang Gang paused, "Like what?"

Zhang Miao laughed, "I dunno~. I’m Little Xi’s best friend, not the worm in her stomach. I can’t possibly know everything. Besides, women are like the needles at the bottom of the ocean—difficult to fathom."

She paused before chuckling, "Let’s eat up, the food’s going to get cold."

"Um..." Yang Gang didn’t think any further.

After eating lunch, the two of them drove straight to Yang’s villa.

The butler of the Yang family’s villa, Zhao Wei, was just about to go out. He saw Yang Gang returning home with a stunning beauty, his eyes flickering with an indiscernible glow.

Yang Gang inwardly cursed his bad luck.

Zhao Wei, the butler, had been with Old Master Yang for over a decade and was the second most trusted person by Yang Lin after his family. When Yang Gang first joined the Yang family, he had dealt with Zhao Wei. That time, Yang Lin had asked Zhao Wei to accompany him on a stroll around Hangcheng and ended up at Silver Moon KTV. As for what happened afterwards, everyone knew.

As far as Yang Gang was concerned, Zhao Wei was a shrewd old character with a suspicious personality who was really not easy to fool.

The Lamborghini pulled up next to Zhao Wei and stopped.

The car window was lowered, and Yang Gang popped his head out.

Zhao Wei bowed slightly, "Welcome home, young master."

Yang Gang nodded and smiled, "Uncle Zhao, are you heading out?"

Wei nodded, "I have to discuss some loan issues with Jin Xin Bank today."

"Alright, you go ahead with your work, Uncle Zhao," Yang Gang paused before adding, "Oh right, Uncle Zhao, is my sister home? This is her friend, Zhang Miao, she came to see my sister but couldn’t get through to her phone."

"Oh, I expect your sister is in surgery. They generally don’t allow mobile phones in the operating room." Zhao Wei pondered for a moment, then said, "You can have Miss Zhang wait at home, Yueyao and the others are all in the villa, they can entertain the guests."

Zhao Wei looked and Zhang Miao and said, "Miss Zhang, I have some matters ..."

Zhang Miao smiled, "Uncle Zhao, if you’re busy, go ahead and do your work. Yang Gang can show me around."

Zhao Wei bowed again slightly, then left.

Once Zhao Wei had gone, Yang Gang let out a sigh of relief, "Sister Miao, that man earlier was the housekeeper of Yang’s villa and the key aide in Old Master Yang’s business. The old man is shrewd and suspicious, it’s really hard to fool him. On the bright side, he is gone now."

"Hmm ..." Zhang Miao laughed, "Gang, you really are working hard as an actor. Xiaorou told me that the Yang family has two extraordinary beauties, you must be enjoying yourself."

Yang Gang smirked, "That’s defamation, Gu Xiaorou!"

They parked the car and went straight to the front courtyard, where the Husky usually roamed.

Some of the other servants watched them pass, but they were of lower rank and didn’t dare to ask many questions.

Yang Gang and Zhang Miao successfully reached the front courtyard. Just as they entered, the Husky, looking ferocious, lunged at Yang Gang.

Damn it!

Come on, you’re just a Husky, not a Tibetan Mastiff!

God, you must have mistaken your own breed!

Yang Gang was furious.

Zhang Miao whistled, and the Husky turned and lunged at her instead.

Zhang Miao quickly took a bell out of her pocket, gave it a light shake, and the bell emitted a melodious tune.

The hot-tempered Husky, upon hearing the bell sound, faltered, then laid down on the ground and fell fast asleep.

Yang Gang was surprised, "Sister Miao, is that bell of yours the magical artifact from the legends?"

Zhang Miao rolled her eyes, "What magical artifact? Do you think we live in a fairytale? Have you been watching too much Harry Potter?"

"Then why did this savage dog fall asleep at the sound of the bell?" Yang Gang asked, puzzled.

"It’s similar to how humans can fall under hypnosis. It’s not just humans who can fall under hypnosis, animals can too." Zhang Miao explained casually.

"Hypnosis on animals? That’s impressive, Sister Miao, can you teach me? Once I learn it, I’ll be able to tame this savage dog in no time." Yang Gang said.

Zhang Miao glared at Yang Gang, "It requires talent. You think anyone can just learn it? And Gang, you’re missing the point. You don’t even know what the root of the problem is."

Zhang Miao paused, then looked at Yang Gang, "From the past, you’ve never been liked by animals. Do you know why? It’s because you don’t like them. Communicating with animals is just like interacting with people. First, you need to understand their habits, respect their customs, and treat them as important partners, not just as mice-catching cats or watch dogs. Animals are actually very smart, don’t underestimate them."

Then Zhang Miao’s gaze fell on the Husky, "Right now, I’ve just momentarily hypnotised it, but that does not mean it is tamed. After about half an hour, it will wake up. The hypnotic state causes a temporary olfactory memory disorder in the dog, making them forget the scent of their previous owner. During this period, you need to sit beside the dog and let it gradually get familiar with your scent. This is the first step to improving your relationship with it."

"Okay." Yang Gang obediently sat next to the Husky.

After half an hour, the Husky woke up, but was once again hypnotised by Zhang Miao. Yang Gang continued to sit by its side.

This cycle repeated for approximately two hours. The time required for hypnosis increased towards the end.

Zhang Miao’s forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, and she was beginning to look tired.

Seeing this, Yang Gang quickly said, "Let’s call it a day, Sister Miao. According to my calculations, Yang Fei should be back soon as she has no classes in the afternoon. Should I take you home?"

Zhang Miao nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, Yang Gang drove Zhang Miao back to Gu Xiaorou’s apartment.

As he was leaving, he ran into Gu Xiaorou in the lobby.

The woman seemed distracted.

Yang Gang pulled out two tickets to the "Gallows" underground rock concert from his pocket, waving them in front of Gu Xiaorou, and asked with a smile, "Xiaorou, see what this is?"

Gu Xiaorou took a quick glance, her reaction quite indifferent.

Damn, really?

Isn’t a crazed fan supposed to react differently??

"So the other ticket is for Sister Miao? You know, Sister Miao is quite fond of rock music too." Gu Xiaorou indifferently responded.

Yang Gang was taken aback, then said, "Eh, I forgot that Sister Miao likes rock music too when I bought the tickets. Well, let’s give this ticket to Sister Miao, I won’t go."

Gu Xiaorou was taken aback, "You want to accompany me to the concert?"

"But there are not enough tickets..."

Before Yang Gang could finish speaking, Gu Xiaorou snatched the ticket, grinned and said, "Although Sister Miao likes rock music, she doesn’t like places that are too noisy. How about we go together?"

"Uh..."

Before Yang Gang could respond, Gu Xiaorou laughed and said, "It’s decided then. You’re accompanying me to the concert tomorrow night."

Yang Gang thought about it, he had nothing planned for tomorrow night, and he had originally intended to accompany Gu Xiaorou anyway. Hence, he nodded in agreement.

After that, Gu Xiaorou went upstairs and Yang Gang drove back to Yang’s villa.

By the time he got back to Yang’s villa, Yang Fei had already returned.

She was holding a ticket and said, "Gang, could you accompany me to Husk’s piano concert tomorrow night?"
