[Fanfic Love O2O] Hao Mei's Alluring Smile Ch 3

Title: Hao  Mei’s Alluring Smile Chapter 3
Genre: Fluff
Pairing: Hao Mei/KO
Summary: K.O.'s Worries.

Noblesse oblige is where moral obligation of those of high birth, powerful social position are required to act with honor, kindness, and generosity of their stature. It could also be defined as the belief that the wealthy and privilege are obliged to help those less fortunate. 

To his credit K.O. knew how wealthy those in the upper echelon were in the world, even with Marxist beliefs of economy in China. It did not meant that everyone was equal, but rather there still exists a pyramid of those in power and those without.

His families were considering middle class to poverty level. The man he loves belong to a family that was consider well off because they work in business and earn astonishing amount of money. Hao Mei’s birth and records in University were well kept from the social echelons of those he went around.

Amazing really, how well hidden Hao Mei was and how scary enough they were that they wanted their only son to take over the family business. Feng Teng a conglomerate business in its third generation inheritance is large and big in wealth.

However, Hao Mei’s family wasn’t as large as theirs, but they were within the ten high families and it is evident that said parents love their son enough. That it puzzles him greatly, how he was only given so little money to survive that he 

appears to be poor as a church mouse.

Just that one single screaming match in the work place was enough to inform K.O. that poor as he was he had absolutely no access to his credit card or funding, that there was a shouting match and Hao Mei wasn’t on good terms with his family until he show them he was able to get through University without their help. 

It attracted K.O. so much because Hao Mei wasn’t a second generation that was given everything like a Prince, but rather he worked hard to instill his belief of what he wanted. Merit as it were was indefinite and K.O. love that about that complaining child in his life.

A man’s man as it was he fitted the person in his mind and it seem that child never changed. Living with Hao Mei and eating breakfast, lunch, and dinner with him was relaxing. 

Being able to see his face and ensuring the craziness the kid went through was not boring at all. 

“K.O.!” Hao Mei ran like a puppy wanting attention and K.O. couldn’t help listen to him as he typed out code after code. “Let’s go have food!”

K.O. nods his head and finished up what he wanted to type quickly before setting the securities back into place and shutting down the computer. 

Hao Mei was chattering happily and pressing his leg near his arm seeking comfort, he slowly pushes out and looks at Hao Mei noticing the red marks on the kid’s neck. He narrows his eyes and slowly swerves his eyes over to Yu Ban Shan and Qiu Yong Hou whom didn’t look as ruffled, but they were clowning around grapping each other. 

 

It didn’t settle in him and he felt jealous of those two taking up Hao Mei’s attention and worse the marks left on him. He needed to disinfect him somehow.

Glancing down at Hao Mei he lean forward and whispered softly, “You got a bug bite, I have medicine.”

Hao Mei winces at K.O. fingers touching the sore portion of his neck, “Ah…it’s not a bug bite.”

K.O. was insistent as he tugs Hao Mei off to the bathroom, “It is.”

The men watches K.O. lead off Hao Mei and looking sly Ban Shan nudges Yong Hou at the two retreating figures.

“Hey. How long until that ice man cracks?” Ban Shan grin wildly.

Yong Hou thumbs his nose and gave a smirk, “Let’s bet on it.”

“Fine. I already bet on three months from now.” Ban Shan snickers while looking around carefully, “Third brother said two years.”

Rubbing his chin Yong Hou narrows his eyes in thoughts, “Okay. I go for six months.”

Sliding out his book of bets as Ban Shan names the little black book, he listed down Yong Hou words, “And what is the amount?”

“I say 1,000 yuan.” Yong Hou rubs his hands together.

Life certainly was different Wei Wei considered as she watches through the bosses office and noted how the other men behaved.

 “What are you looking at?” Xiao Nai’s commentary interrupted her thought process.

Feeling embarrassed Wei Wei grab her bottle of juice and sip through the straw. The incredible pressure of her boyfriend’s stare was unnerving sometimes, “Your comrades are up to something about.”

Xiao Nai quirk an eyebrow and drew up his right hand to his cheek and gave a pressing stare, “They are just betting on Hao Mei and K.O.”

Wei Wei eyes widen in wonder, “How does Great Master know this?”

“K.O. asked me permission to sign up for another year.” Xiao Nai said, “Meaning his and Hao Mei’s relationship are going well and all I have to do is dangle Hao Mei in front of him.”

“Senior Hao Mei is not a commodity, Great Master.” Wei Wei sighs inwardly at how cunning her man is, it was admirable and incredibly scary. 

“I do it for this company.” Xiao Nai gave a smug smile, “It improves efficiency and employee morale.”

“How does Senior K.O. and Senior Hao Mei’s relationship factor into good morale?” Wei Wei sniffs and places down her drink challenging Xiao Nai to tell her. 

“Wei Wei. You need more fish head soup.” Xiao Nai replied and picked up his drink gracefully taking a sip. 

Sometimes, Wei Wei was jealous of how her handsome boyfriend was able to make the most common motions look so fluid and graceful. It was a wonder he didn’t turn out like Senior K.O. and Senior Hao Mei, but then his personality would make any man go nuts with how stubborn and mulish the man was.

A few minutes swept through and Wei Wei worked on the problem and slowly she directed her ire at the great master, “I don’t need fish head soup.” She grabs her food box and pouts, “Just because you think that company drama is all good.”

“Oh?” Xiao Nai look was all satisfactory. 

“You believe that Senior Hao Mei would complain less because he is fed well and has K.O. to be buddy with. Senior Ban Shan and Senior Yong Hou are entertained by playing the game with Hao Mei and distracting K.O.” Wei Wei was fumbling in her thoughts.

“And what else my wife?” Xiao Nai set down his drink and cross his legs deliberately.

“The whole company would be watching and it relieve their stress from just work and you get Senior K.O. to work for you and Senior Hao Mei wouldn’t be as stuck or crabby.” Wei Wei said triumphantly. 

Xiao Nai uncrosses his leg and lean closer to Wei Wei, “Wife you forgotten one important fact.” He presses Wei Wei deeper into the couch and whispered near her ear, “I get more time with wife.”

A spluttered response was from Wei Wei and she contemplates if that was wise at all for her health.

Xiao Nai’s phone vibrated. Backing away he went to pick up his phone, Wei Wei breathes a sigh of relief. 

A spluttered response was from Wei Wei and she contemplates if that was wise at all for her health.

	Yu Ban Shan: Third Brother. Stop flirting with your wife and decide if we are going out to eat or not.
	Qiu Yong Hou: I joined in the betting! Why did you bet 2 years for KO and Mei Di.
	Xiao Nai He: Not joining. Go eat with the group. I bet because I felt like it.
	Yu Ban Shan: Don’t go over the top with Third Sister in Law. This is a work place.
	Xiao Nai He: It is up to her.
	Qiu Yong Hou: Okay. Should I let the group know that we all can eat outside?
	Yu Ban Shan: You are no fun. Do you always have to get me in the end?
	Xiao Nai He: Yes. Bye.

Wei Wei gave an inquisitive look at Xiao Nai after glancing to the window to see the men hurrying up packing whilst Ban Shan was giving a wink and Yong Hou drag him out of the door.

“What is going on?” Wei Wei asked.

“Men’s Talk.” Was the only words she could get out of Xiao Nai.
