I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 155 My babies

Yu Chen quietly followed his fiancée as they entered Star Castle Entertainment. Luo Xiaolei was still holding his hand as she kept glancing at him through her lashes. She was waiting for his reaction as he looked around the deserted lobby of the building’s first floor.

But he didn’t say a thing; he didn’t even ask why no one was around.

Finally, Luo Xiaolei stopped and faced him. She breathed in deeply as she stared intently into his eyes.

"About the agency, I’m not planning to sign up to any of those companies that want me." She started, letting go of his hand.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because, I don’t like having a boss. I want my boss to be myself." She grinned but her eyes serious.

"Meaning, this company is yours." There was no amazement in Yu Chen’s voice. He instead sounded like this was something he was expecting.

His reaction once again made Luo Xiaolei feel a bit suspicious. But then, knowing what kind of man Yu Chen was, Luo Xiaolei could only convince herself to believe that this man’s thinking was just so advanced that he could come up with a fact from the small crumbs of clues she may have left behind. He was Yu Chen, the devil prince, after all.

"Mm. This company was on the brink of bankruptcy three years ago." She began. "My mother left me some shares of the Luo Corporation. But of course, that small amount was a big deal to my family. My father constantly threatened me to give it up and sell the shares to him. Because all I wanted was to leave that house and live somewhere else peacefully, I negotiated with my father and sold my shares to him. Of course, I made sure that he would buy it at a very favorable amount. My father was desperate at that time to keep his position so he blindly agreed to my conditions."

"You actually tricked your own father." Yu Chen sounded amused.

"You’re not disappointed that I was capable of doing something like this to my own father?" Luo Xiaolei asked, a bit nervous.

"He deserved it," was the only thing he could say and Luo Xiaolei smirked.

"You’re not disappointed that there’s a tendency for me to actually be an evil scheming bitch?" she asked. Her eyes were narrowed as she looked at him.

Yu Chen dropped his face to the level of her eyes, holding her gaze.

"I don’t care even if you are." He replied, his eyes serious and his voice firm.

His answer made Luo Xiaolei feel a scorching heat in her heart. This man was at it again and she couldn’t help but let herself melt.

"So using that money, you bought this entire company." He uttered and Luo Xiaolei was pulled back to reality.

After clearing her throat, she continued her story telling. "I was actually lucky because this company was already about to file for bankruptcy at that time. The owner also completely lost hope so he shockingly sold it to me for an even lower price than what I would have been willing to pay. I didn’t use any tricks that time, okay?"

"I believe you. Since you already have your own company, why are you not signing yourself as your own artist?"

"Because I have another plan."

"Plan?"

"Mm. Come, let’s go upstairs." She said and dragged him towards the stairs.

The second floor of the building was where the music studio and the practice rooms were. Luo XIaolei first showed him the studio before they headed towards the practice room.

The moment Luo Xiaolei pushed the practice room’s door open, sounds of screeching shoes and loud music welcomed them.

Yu Chen’s eyes immediately fell towards the eight boys, ages ranging from 15-20 years old, dancing inside so tenaciously that they didn’t even notice that two people had entered inside their practice room.

Luo Xiaolei and Yu Chen just stood there watching their every move. Their dancing skills were sexy, fluid even, and they were undoubtedly exuding a heart stopping kind of charm, strong enough to hold anyone’s gaze to their rhythm and movements.

In Luo Xiaolei’s past life, these eight trainees who were under Star Castle signed on to another agency after this company’s bankruptcy. The boys were promising and extremely talented. Five of them were geniuses who could even produce their own songs. Luo Xiaolei was not a fan of any idol groups back then but the boys were just too popular during their debut that even a business woman like her just couldn’t ignore it. Many even speculated that they would surely become the biggest boy band that would ever rock not just Asian countries but the world. However, just a year after their very successful debut, a devastating scandal wrecked the entertainment world. Two of the boys were found dead and the investigation revealed that they took their own lives. The two were just 18 years old that time. They revealed in their last will the abuse and hellish life they suffered in the hands of their agency, including the fact that their CEO was actually selling them to crazy rich fans who were willing to pay hundreds of thousands and even millions just to spend one night with the members. The kind of life they suffered was too heartbreaking and gruesome that the government decided not to reveal any further information to the media. But because Luo Xiaolei was powerful at that time and chose this idol group as her company’s new ambassador, she learned about the cruel story by using her intelligence unit. Since that scandal broke out, the remaining six boys disappeared from the music industry like bubbles. Their dreams, their fame and even their future, ended just like that.

Their story broke countless hearts including Luo Xiaolei’s. Even though she was a vengeful, merciless woman during those times, she was upset and so enraged that she even sent support to annihilate the people who destroyed and maltreated them.

That was why, now that she was given a second chance, Luo Xiaolei was determined to save them from that gruesome, painful future ahead of them. They were the main reason why Luo Xiaolei decided to pursue not only music but also enter the entertainment industry. They were her secret weapons and she would do everything to make them the most successful boy band ever.

When the song was over, Luo Xiaolei clapped her hands, praising the ever so hardworking boys she was so proud of.

Her applause of course stunned the boys and they all snapped towards her as they panted.

"B-big sister!" one of the boys exclaimed and they were all about to rush towards her to greet her if not for a certain intimidating but gorgeous as hell man standing right next to her.

The boys stood two meters away from her – one meter further than their usual distance when greeting her. Their eyes were darting back and forth between her and the man.

Luo Xiaolei’s smile was warm as she looked at them.

"Didn’t I tell you guys not to exhaust yourselves too much?" she sighed before she looked at Yu Chen and smiled again.

"Yu Chen, meet my babies." She said and Yu Chen froze.

B-babies?!
