My father's inheritance is my mortal enemy.

After New Year's Day, Platinum Rui held its annual meeting. Shu Lang came to see Li Bo and invited him to attend the meeting. He also reported on Jiang Feng's work. Jiang Feng is a very ambitious person. He is quite dedicated to Platinum Rui, but he is too aggressive. Otherwise, he is fine.

Li Bo nodded, his gaze lingering on Shu Lang's neck.

"What's been going on lately?"

Shu Lang touched his turtleneck sweater and smiled, "No."

Shu Lang and Li Bo are extremely similar people; they can lie without batting an eye.

Li Bo didn't point it out, but calmly said, "You can ask me for help if you encounter any problems."

Shu Lang smiled: "I won't stand on ceremony with President Bo."

Li Bo didn't attend the annual meeting of PlatinumRay.

On January 10th, Li Bo bought a plane ticket to Northern Europe. He had been to Northern Europe before, and his visa was still valid. Before going to Northern Europe, Li Bo did not tell Zhou Yanshao in advance.

When he landed, Li Bo was still taken aback by the snow in Northern Europe. Fortunately, he had contacted the person Zhou Huiyuan had left behind to pick him up in advance, so he wouldn't be ripped off like a lamb in the cold by the drivers at the door who were asking for exorbitant prices.

Zhou Huiyuan's subordinates found Li Bo a warm hotel room with a fireplace. He warmed himself for a while before calling Zhou Yanshao. No one answered, which was expected.

Because the management of the ski training ground is so strict that even Zhou Huiyuan has difficulty intervening, he felt at ease sending Zhou Yanshao over.

Li Bo waited until sunset before Zhou Yanshao called back.

Li Bo spoke first: "[I'm in Northern Europe right now. Are you free? Would it be convenient for you to come out?]"

Zhou Yanshao was stunned: "You're in Northern Europe?"

"Zhihuai built a wine cellar in Northern Europe these past two years to store wine. It's been completed and accepted, so I came to take a look."

Where are you now?

"It's a bit far from the training base, about ten kilometers away."

Zhou Yanshao was silent for a moment: "Give me the location, I'll come find you."

Li Bo is an extremely perceptive person. If Zhou Yanshao immediately said he wanted to come and find him, it meant it was very convenient for him. If he didn't say so right away, it might mean there were some difficulties.

Li Bo reminded him, "I'll be staying here for half a month. If it's inconvenient for you, you can change to another day, but you'll have to ask your coach for leave first. Training is the priority right now."

"I know, give me the seat first."

Li Bo told Zhou Yanshao the location and instructed him, "If you want to come over, I'll have the driver pick you up. It's cold, and your hands aren't suitable for driving."

"understood."

Zhou Yanshao didn't come that night; the procedures for leaving the training base were very complicated, especially at this time. The next morning, Li Bo went to the wine cellar and, together with professionals, tested the humidity and temperature. After confirming that they met the standards, he signed off on the paperwork.

Li Bo was dressed lightly, wearing a mask, his nose was red from the cold, and his hands were stiff. The outdoors in Scandinavia was indeed not a place for people to stay.

The surveyor finished up and handed Li Bo a super sweet candy: "President Bo, you're not dressed warmly enough. Go to the car quickly, or you'll catch a cold. I'll finish up here."

"Thank you for your hard work." Li Bo got into the car, where the air conditioning was warm. He rubbed his hands together, and his phone rang in his pocket. Zhou Yanshao was calling him.

The application to leave the training base, submitted last night, has now been approved.

Li Bo and the surveyor arrived in two cars. After finishing up here, he had the driver take them to the entrance of Zhou Yanshao's base. Zhou Yanshao stood facing the wind, his silver hair perfectly matching the snow-covered Nordic landscape.

Zhou Yanshao got into the car, hugged Li Bo tightly, took off Li Bo's gloves, and put them in his arms to warm Li Bo. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand?"

"It's a work-related decision, made on short notice."

"Oh..." Zhou Yanshao was a little unhappy. He hadn't come to see Li Bo specifically. After warming Li Bo's hands, he started fidgeting. There was a partition in the back seat, so as long as the noise wasn't too loud, no one would notice anything unusual. Plus, the car was warm, perfect for doing anything.

Li Bo was forced to raise his chin, his turtleneck sweater under his suit was pulled up, and he stepped back, his hand resting on the cold car window. Zhou Yanshao grabbed his hand back: "The car window is cold."

Li Bo wasn't dressed warmly enough; he was even wearing a coat, making him look very formal. He completely ignored the weather in Northern Europe, which is why the surveyor told Li Bo to go back to the car—he was genuinely worried that Li Bo would get too cold.

Li Bo let Zhou Yanshao kiss him freely, his hand stroking Zhou Yanshao's silver hair, his lips red, and reminded him, "There are people in the car."

Actually, the car partition was quite soundproof, but it didn't work for Zhou Yanshao. He didn't like anyone hearing Li Bo's muffled groans, not even a little bit.

Zhou Yanshao pulled Li Bo into his arms, carefully protecting Li Bo's head, and kissed Li Bo: "I'll deal with you when we get back to the hotel."

Li Bo sat on Zhou Yanshao's lap, his head resting on his chest, asleep. He hadn't even taken off his glasses. Zhou Yanshao gently held him, his hands inside his clothes, pinching Li Bo's waist. Just this was enough for him.

When the car arrived at the hotel, Zhou Yanshao draped his coat over Li Bo and led him into the hotel. The driver was stunned when he saw this, but quickly regained his composure.

Although the driver worked in Northern Europe, he had heard a little about what was happening in Beijing.

Li Bo has an unusual relationship with Zhou Huiyuan, and now he's so close to Zhou Yanshao...

The driver was shocked by what he saw. To be honest, Li Bo's face was indeed attractive to both men and women. He was handsome, a refined yet roguish type, and had a great presence. He was extremely serious at work, and it would be very attractive to see how someone like that reacted in bed.

There are quite a few homosexuals in Northern Europe, and it's much more open than in China, so the driver wasn't surprised at all.

There was no one in the elevator. They went up to the top floor, where there was underfloor heating. Li Bo had just woken up after sleeping in the car and had no idea how unbearable Zhou Yanshao had been on the way. His anger, which had been raging the whole way, was already burning right in front of him.

Zhou Yanshao lifted Li Bo's chin and kissed him all the way into the room. Li Bo's hands were trembling. When he opened the door, he dropped the room card. When he bent down to pick it up, Zhou Yanshao simply lifted him up with one hand, opened the door with the other, and went straight to the bed.

The clothes fell from the front door into the bedroom. Zhou Yanshao pulled the curtains shut and stood in front of the bed. Li Bo rubbed his forehead, feeling a little scared. While Zhou Yanshao hadn't yet lost his beastly nature and was still able to talk, he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said seriously, "I have a document for you to sign. Take a look first, I'm going to take a shower."

"no."

Li Bo got out of bed, pressed the man down, sat him on the bed, straddled him, leaned against Zhou Yanshao, pulled Zhou Yanshao's hand, and made Zhou Yanshao help him unbuckle his belt. He gave him a little treat and then comforted him, saying, "Being obedient is very important."

This whole process is like training a dog.

Zhou Yanshao, taking advantage of the situation, also removed the sock clip from Li Bo's trousers. "Fine."

Li Bo handed a share transfer agreement to Zhou Yanshao, promising, "I'll return it to you later."

Zhou Yanshao frowned slightly: "Did Zhihuai's people make things difficult for you again?"

Li Bo couldn't bear to lie: "This time it's something else."

Zhou Yanshao didn't ask any more questions and signed the contract.

Li Bo took a shower and then made Zhou Yanshao happy. Afterwards, Zhou Yanshao held Li Bo tightly and fell asleep, but Li Bo couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

Under the light, he saw that Zhou Yanshao had injuries all over his body. His knees were bruised and his ankles were swollen, but he acted as if nothing had happened, not saying a word to him, not even a complaint or a word of sympathy.

Li Bo only learned about the festering wound on Zhou Yanshao's palm after Zhou Yanshao fell asleep and he held his hand.

They had only been apart for half a month, and Zhou Yanshao was already like this.

Li Bo didn't know, nor dared to imagine, how Zhou Yanshao had survived the two years he was away.

Have I become accustomed to such injuries? Or am I simply keeping quiet to avoid worrying him...?
