Chapter 279- Gloomy Blood Servant vs. Obsessive Vampire Prince (12)
Upon thinking of this, Mu Jin secretly nodded, feeling that he was truly a very qualified, thoughtful, and excellent lover.
Mu Jin did not expose Huangfu Yu’s behavior. After helping his partner choose a suit from the wardrobe, he quietly waited for him in the living room. After a while, the man finally came out dressed.
Seeing his partner in a tall and upright suit, Mu Jin secretly swallowed hard, wishing he could pounce on him immediately. The aura of an upper-class person was overwhelming; indeed, no matter which world he was in, his lover was always so dazzling.
Mu Jin suddenly regretted saying he would take Huangfu Yu out. With such a great man, exposing him to outsiders would only make others drool over his partner. Thinking of this, Mu Jin’s face darkened for a moment, but he quickly overcame the impulse to break his promise.
He silently opened the door and coldly gestured for Huangfu Yu to follow him.
Huangfu Yu did not understand why Mu Jin’s mood suddenly worsened after he changed his clothes. Unaware of the reason, he could only quietly follow behind Mu Jin.
Just now, Wallis had come to this room and talked to Huangfu Yu about the properties of the Malkavian clan, which were essentially the businesses of the Mu family in the eyes of outsiders.
He mentioned that they could go to the office building of the company together, where prepared materials were waiting. As for the staff below, he could dispatch them at will.
Huangfu Yu did not expect the handover to go so smoothly; it was clear that the other party was not withholding any information. Through Wallis, he finally understood Mu Jin’s identity: a third-generation vampire, the supreme leader of the Malkavian clan in Country H, and one of the most powerful vampires among those currently existing.
He was surprised that beneath the youth’s soft exterior lay such formidable strength. Even though he had long anticipated this outcome, it still made Huangfu Yu look at Mu Jin with newfound respect.
Moreover, when Wallis was speaking with him, he emphasized once again that their master had never directly fed on anyone or lived with anyone, which indicated that he was a special existence.
Huangfu Yu could sense the change in Wallis’s attitude toward him. When Wallis came to find him today, his demeanor was extremely respectful, likely due to the respect he held for Mu Jin.
Although Wallis had previously mentioned Mu Jin’s original name, for some reason, despite that name sounding long and grand, Huangfu Yu preferred the name the young man had chosen after coming to Country H—Mu Jin, which has an Eastern flair.
Speaking of which, although Mu Jin’s skin was paler, his facial features, aside from his ruby-like eyes, really did resemble those of an Eastern person. Perhaps because he himself was of Eastern descent, he felt that this name made him feel even closer.
As for Mu Jin, who was walking in front, he slowed his pace after covering a short distance, briefly waiting for the man before walking side by side with him. This was Mu Jin putting on a show for those below, supporting Huangfu Yu while also expressing his acknowledgment of him.
On the other hand, Mu Jin felt that his earlier temper had been somewhat childish and unwarranted, so he simply chose to let it go.
He had no worries about taking Huangfu Yu to the Mu family business center, nor did he plan to hide the man’s appearance.
The main power of the Huangfu family is concentrated in City A, while the influence of the Malkavian clan extends across the country. However, since the manor where their master lives is located in City S, the headquarters of the Malkavian clan’s business was also established in City S, which is some distance away from City A.
Huangfu Yu was forcibly brought to the manor by members of the Huangfu family and had been tied up in the car for a day and a night. This grudge Mu Jin had already noted. Perhaps because the Huangfu family seemed to have a natural fear of the Malkavian clan, they generally would not want to step into City S.
As for City S, Wallis managed the influence here like a tightly sealed barrel. Mu Jin was not worried that, before the male lead returned, anyone from the Huangfu family would dare to infiltrate their business.
However, halfway through the journey, Mu Jin suddenly thought of something. It seemed that the orphanage where the male lead was located was also in City S, so after he grew up, he chose to start his career there as well. So, was he now actually in the same city as the male lead, Huangfu Jian?
The male lead always had luck on his side, and the untouched dimensions were relatively fair. The protagonists in small worlds were generally just. Mu Jin considered that he might be able to make contact with the male lead.
While the Huangfu family had not yet found Huangfu Jian, it would be best to let the male lead know the true nature of the Huangfu family and Huangfu Hongzhi in advance. By the time Huangfu Hongzhi found Huangfu Jian and wanted him to work for him, the male lead would likely not be so compliant.
Today, Mu Jin did not have Wallis follow them around; he only brought a capable fifth-generation vampire as a driver and attendant.
The driver took Mu Jin and Huangfu Yu to the headquarters of the Mu family. Seeing the towering building and the splendid decorations, Mu Jin couldn’t help but sigh at how wealthy the Malkavian clan truly was, and then he calmly led Huangfu Yu inside.
The original owner had been in a deep sleep for too many years and was clearly out of touch with the times. However, the aura of authority and calmness remained. It seemed the people below had been instructed by Wallis, as they eagerly entered the elevator, demonstrated the operation, and only pressed the button for the top floor after Mu Jin stepped inside.
Mu Jin was satisfied with the other party’s performance. After all, the original owner had been awake for only a short time over the years, spending most of it in a secret chamber in deep sleep.
The manor’s environment was very antiquated; some electrical devices could be considered decent, but there was completely no elevator in the old mansion, which was not multi-story. Let alone multimedia and the internet— the original owner was completely unfamiliar with those.
So, when the secretary sent from below entered with a flattering smile, placing several significant project documents and a computer containing the company’s cultural materials in front of Mu Jin, he simply sat there quietly without responding for a long time.
Just as the secretary was about to explain the documents to Mu Jin in detail, he waved his hand, signaling for the secretary to leave. Once the room was left with just himself and Huangfu Yu, he glanced at the man beside him and instructed, “Come here and teach me how to use these.”
Huangfu Yu was taken aback for a moment upon hearing Mu Jin’s words. He had just been thinking about how Mu Jin had remained expressionless while listening to the secretary for so long without taking any action, only to realize that he didn’t know how to use these devices.
However, it made sense. The other party had been asleep for many years, and technology had developed so rapidly; it was quite normal for him not to have come across these things.
So, Huangfu Yu patiently sat beside Mu Jin and carefully explained how to use these electronic products. He even picked up the phone the secretary had prepared earlier and downloaded many interesting video apps and software for Mu Jin, hoping to help him understand this world more quickly.
In the sea of consciousness, 003 looked at Mu Jin pretending to be ignorant with great difficulty, recalling the years when his host founded an internet company, developed games, and dabbled in hacking. He sighed deeply. Indeed, his host was completely shameless when it came to ingratiating himself and taking advantage of others.
Seeing Mu Jin’s expressionless face, yet acting as if he didn’t know how to type or use these devices—he insisted that one could not just talk to him but had to lean in and whisper in his ear. One could not just show him but had to half-embrace him and teach him hand-in-hand to get through it.
003 decisively turned his head away, his feline face twitching in disbelief, feeling he couldn’t bear to watch and didn’t want to face this pair of dog boys flaunting their affection.
However, before 003 could finish his complaints, he was pulled back by a paw from the black panther beside him. Teng Gen looked at 003, who appeared completely disheartened, and raised an eyebrow.
Wagging his tail contentedly, he gently swatted the little black cat’s rear and said with a smile, “Enough! Stop watching them. You still haven’t finished your grooming task for today.”
Upon hearing this, 003 glanced at this big shot who, after adapting to the system space, could control his energy and hadn’t slept since, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
With a paw, he ruffled his feline face. 003 could only resign himself and extend his barbed little tongue. He closed his eyes in resignation and began to lick the fur around the black panther’s mouth.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to learn how to use modern devices, Mu Jin subtly and overtly took advantage of Huangfu Yu. Afterward, under Huangfu Yu’s astonished gaze, he declared that he had learned how to use modern mobile phones and computers.
Mu Jin even pointed to his phone and said matter-of-factly to Huangfu Yu, “Hand over your phone and save my number.”
Huangfu Yu shook his head helplessly; his phone had been taken away long before he arrived in this city. He could say that when he was sent to the Malkavian clan’s manor, he had brought nothing with him other than the clothes he was wearing.
Mu Jin obviously realized this as well, so he directly picked up the phone on the desk and instructed the people below to immediately buy a similar phone. Soon, a new phone was delivered to Huangfu Yu.
As soon as the phone was handed to Huangfu Yu, Mu Jin exchanged phone numbers with him. When he saw that Huangfu Yu had saved his contact as “Xiao Jin,” Mu Jin felt delighted.
He quietly saved Huangfu Yu’s number as “Lover” on his phone. Although he initially wanted to change it to “Husband,” he felt that doing so would undermine his character. After careful consideration, he decided to stick with “Lover.”
After teaching Mu Jin how to use the phone and computer, Huangfu Yu began to focus on his own work. After all, he was now an employee and needed to perform well in front of his boss.
So, by the next day, although Mu Jin was still in the same office as Huangfu Yu, he once again took on the role of a mascot. He lounged comfortably on the soft sofa, playing on his phone or using the computer to binge-watch shows.
As for Huangfu Yu, he quickly familiarized himself with the current status of the Malkavian clan’s business while also dealing with the backlog of documents from before.
Huangfu Yu was a highly capable person. His decisions were decisive, and his handling methods were skillful. One could say that if the Huangfu family hadn’t deliberately suppressed him and refused to grant him authority, Huangfu Yu would have been able to showcase even more of his talents.
But what did it matter how competent he was? In Huangfu Hongzhi’s eyes, Huangfu Yu was just a worthless adopted child. Raising him to this age was merely to send him to the Malkavian clan as a replacement.
