Billionaire's Long Journey of Chasing His Love-Chapter 74 - 069: Is Your Man Handsome?

"Is your man handsome?" Tong Airui's lips curved slightly as he looked at Yi Luowa.

"Handsome my foot!" Yi Luowa pouted.

"Women always say the opposite. If you're saying he's not handsome, that means he is." Tong Airui quickly leaned in and planted a swift kiss on Yi Luowa's soft pink lips. "There's ointment on the nightstand. Want me to apply some for you?"

Yi Luowa frowned and glared at him. He's gotten addicted to kissing her! And yet, even though he "bullied" her like this, why did she seem not to hate it at all? Yi Luowa gritted her teeth in frustration and clenched her fists tight.

Tong Airui glanced down at her raised fists, his voice teasing, "Planning to hit me again? One day, I'll tame you so thoroughly that you won't even be able to lift your hand!"

Yi Luowa lifted her foot and kicked his pant leg, "Get lost already!"

The car slowly came to a halt. Tong Airui raised an eyebrow and smirked, "I'll deal with you later. Don't run off!"

Yi Luowa shot him a fierce glare.

Tong Airui stepped out of the car, walked two steps, then doubled back. "Can't you grow a little taller?"

Yi Luowa froze at his abrupt question.

"Kissing you is too much work!" Tong Airui chuckled, his lips curving into a smile. "But if you can't grow taller, I guess I'll settle for you."

"You're the one who's built like a telephone pole, and you dare talk about others! Are you leaving or not? If you're not, I'll break a few more of your ribs with a kick!" Yi Luowa threatened, her glare fierce.

Tong Airui laughed heartily, clearly in a good mood, before strolling leisurely toward the car door.

Yuan Hang opened the car door, and Mi Chenxuan, Xiao Yu'er, and the other four ran over.

Mi Chenxuan poked his head inside the car, but before he could catch a glimpse of Yi Luowa, Tong Airui grabbed him by the collar and yanked him out.

Yi Luowa stood by the bathroom window, curiously peeking outside. Not far away, a formation of nearly three hundred people was marching closer and closer. Their shoulder patches bore the same emblem as Tong Airui's—the mark of the most mysterious and formidable Eagle Corps of Xiawu. They weren't soldiers but could accomplish missions soldiers couldn't.

"Attention! Salute!" The team leader barked an order, and all the members raised their right hands in unison. "Good day, Captain!"

Tong Airui raised his right hand and returned the military salute.

"Salute complete! At ease!" The team leader issued another command.

The members lowered their right hands in perfect sync, slightly spaced their feet, and gazed straight ahead at Tong Airui.

"Thank you for your hard work!"

"Not hard at all!"

Tong Airui's sharp gaze swept over the members' faces, his voice firm and commanding, "Under this blazing sun, practicing formations repeatedly isn't easy, let's not kid ourselves. But I need to remind you all: being here, you represent Xiawu. No matter how tough it gets, you must push through these fifteen days!"

"Understood, Captain!" The group of over three hundred responded in unison, their loud voices reverberating across the training field.

Mi Chenxuan and Xiao Yu'er were utterly thrilled. Mi Chenxuan practically couldn't contain himself as he glanced excitedly at Tong Airui. "Ca--Captain..."

Tong Airui shot him a sideways glare before calling out firmly, "Xiao Shan!"

"Present!" Xiao Shan jogged over and halted three steps away, standing at attention. "Orders, Captain!"

Tong Airui pointed at Mi Chenxuan and the other four. "These four backup members are temporarily under your supervision. Take them with you and train their formations."

"Understood!"

"Captain, can we wear the Eagle Corps' uniform?" Mi Chenxuan yearned to don the sharp military attire worn by the members.

"You can!"

Mi Chenxuan and his group exchanged elated smiles.

Tong Airui noticed Tong Qiang and Leng Chuting approaching. He turned to Mi Chenxuan and the others and commanded, "Join the formation!"

"Yes, sir!" Mi Chenxuan and the four immediately straightened their backs and ran to the formation's tail.

Tong Airui addressed Xiao Shan, "Continue with the training!"

"Yes, sir!" Xiao Shan saluted before leading the team onward.

Tong Airui glanced at the four trailing behind the formation and noticed they were actually walking properly. Satisfied, he strode over to Tong Qiang and Leng Chuting.

"If I didn't have you train my team members here, I bet you'd forget you even have an uncle!" Tong Qiang joked with a carefree smile.

"Uncle, don't you say that. Of all people, I could never forget you!" Tong Airui responded with a grin, dropping his voice to add, "I brought you a few bottles of good liquor—they should already have been delivered to your place by now."

"That's why you're my favorite nephew." Tong Qiang let out a hearty laugh.

Tong Airui laughed and turned his gaze to the slightly chubby Leng Chuting. "Sister Ting, you've recovered really well after having the baby, haven't you!"

Leng Chuting shot him a sharp glare. "Are you trying to piss me off?"

"Hahaha..." Tong Airui couldn't help but laugh.

Leng Chuting landed a punch on his shoulder. "You're still laughing! I've started wearing my husband's clothes, and you can't even spare a thought for my feelings!"

Yi Luowa, watching Tong Airui get hit, instinctively felt a pang of worry. But when she saw him stand like a rock despite the blow, she let out a calming sigh of relief and patted her chest.

Seeing the three laugh and chat as though they wouldn't leave anytime soon, Yi Luowa puffed her cheeks and ended up washing Tong Airui's shirt along with her own pants, hanging them on a rack together.

Once everything was tidied up, Yi Luowa walked out of the bathroom and sat on the bed, watching Mi Chenxuan and the group train. As she watched, her face inexplicably turned red. When Tong Beast kissed her earlier, she sort of... liked the feeling? But then she remembered her first kiss was gone forever now, and her lips pursed in frustration.
