Lust System: Harem Of Beautiful Women Chapter 813 Follow

After a few exchanges of pleasantries, Sebastian Ye waved for the waiter to bring the food.

This agritainment spot specialized in river delicacies: stir-fried green snails, crispy fried small river fish, and salt-and-pepper fried river shrimp.

Several plates of local wild vegetables were served, varieties Luis had never even heard of. There were no extravagant meat dishes, but everything looked appetizing, perfectly authentic countryside fare to go with rice or liquor.

Carter Peng opened the aged wine he had brought and said with great deference:

"Third Uncle, this is fifteen-year-old Yangjiang Daqu. The aged liquor goes down smoothly, please give it a try. If it suits your taste, I'll have a few more bottles sent over to you."

"That's very thoughtful of you!"

Sebastian Ye smiled with satisfaction.

What pleased him most was his son Luis's exceptional awareness. He had not only taken the initiative to wash and distribute the bowls and chopsticks but also fetched the wine decanter and cups, rinsed them with hot water, and then very courteously filled them for his father and the couple.

This showed a junior's humility and self-awareness, in the eyes of elders, this was the most commendable behavior. After all, in the adult world, the harshest insult was to call someone ill-bred.

The meal itself wasn't the main focus. After taking a few bites, Sebastian Ye raised his wine glass and said calmly, "Qingyu, Changqing, there are no outsiders here."

"Strictly speaking, your third uncle is getting on in years and shouldn't meddle. But your third uncle, like your father, wants to see you both do well."

"Especially at this critical juncture."

Sebastian Ye, having long held a high position, carried immense authority even as a close elder.

When he paused during his speech, the pressure was palpable, even Luis felt a faint chill of sweat forming.

All three juniors quickly held up their glasses with both hands in a respectful gesture, lightly clinking them against his at a lower level, observing full propriety.

Carter Peng downed his drink in one gulp, furrowed his brow slightly, and immediately declared with serious earnestness: "Third Uncle, rest assured. We're not children anymore. We'll act with due discretion."

As they ate and chatted over the wine, Luis remained silent, listening intently.

Carter Peng and Elara Ye were extremely deferential before this elder, reporting the situation as if courtiers before an emperor.

All the Sebastian family members were within the government system, while the Peng family mostly worked in media. This marriage was a powerful alliance.

Despite such formidable backing, Elara Ye felt immense pressure, because her rival Xeno was no pushover either.

Carter Peng wasn't standing idly by this time, but both sides were determined to win this deputy director position, yet neither dared to guarantee success.

Underhanded moves were made in the shadows, both sides reported each other's people...

Even Elara's driver had been bribed, and a listening device had been planted in her car. Every dirty trick imaginable had been employed.

Sebastian Ye frowned at the mention of the rival's name: "At his age, he's aiming for one final promotion before retirement. He's a formidable opponent, he'll give it everything he's got in this last push."

Elara Ye immediately said gravely, "Third Uncle, rest assured. We won't let our guard down, nor will we bring shame to the family."

"There's still one week of the review period left, then your applications will receive a response."

Sebastian Ye said coldly, "Be extra cautious during this time. The fact that even your driver was bribed is no laughing matter."

At this, both Elara Ye and Carter Peng lowered their heads in shame.

In the battle for political advancement, no tactic was too extreme. Elara Ye's driver was actually a relative of the Peng family, someone they should have known inside out.

Yet even such a person had betrayed them. This not only proved that Carter Peng had poor judgment in people, but also that Elara Ye lacked the ability to cultivate loyal subordinates.

This was a clear sign of incompetence. Among these elite families, there was an unwritten rule: everyone had connections, but if you wanted the family's resources and support, your capabilities would be assessed.

An incompetent fool would receive no support. Even this single blunder alone would be a laughingstock if it got out.

Sebastian Ye said no more. Watching his son silently refill the wine for all three, he smiled with satisfaction and said, "Qingyu, this period is highly sensitive. I've asked Luis to come over and serve as your driver."

"Wouldn't that be too much to ask of him?"

Elara Ye hesitated slightly.

Both she and her husband knew Luis's true identity. Given the composure Luis had shown, they felt reassured, he should be capable enough.

The most important qualities for a driver were trustworthiness and discretion. Luis should be able to meet those requirements. But would this illegitimate son be willing?

"Do you have any other choice? If the bureau assigned another driver to you, you wouldn't feel at ease either."

Sebastian Ye said bluntly, "The results will be out in a week. If you lose, the Peng family won't fare well either."

"I understand, Third Uncle!"

Carter Peng's expression turned serious. He raised his glass toward Luis and said, "Luis, we're entrusting everything to you. Your sister's and brother-in-law's futures rest on your shoulders."

"We're family, no need for formalities!"

Luis readily agreed.

Because a voice echoed in his mind, the system's notification:

"Ding... Side mission: Sister's Infidelity."

"Ding... Within one month, without using any items or resorting to violence, make Elara Ye willingly sleep with you and ejaculate inside her."

"Ding... Mission reward: One random blind box."

He hadn't expected the system to suddenly issue a side mission.

This was an unexpected boon. Looking at Elara Ye, whose seductive charm surpassed even Guan Xiumei's allure, Luis naturally accepted with pleasure.

His current main missions were all hellishly difficult. This new side mission seemed relatively achievable, practically a gift from the system.

"Alright, you two stay cautious during this time."

Sebastian Ye said in a deep voice. "Be on guard against all dirty tricks. As long as nothing goes wrong, I think Qingyu should have more confidence in herself."

"I have matters to discuss with Luis tonight. Tomorrow, I'll have him report to you."

Elara Ye and Carter Peng were perceptive enough. They exchanged phone numbers with Luis and then took their leave.

Sebastian Ye settled the bill and took Luis into the car.

Inside the vehicle, he squinted and smiled, saying, "Luis, this isn't really a big problem. The main thing is I'm not stationed here anymore, and Waller is busy with his own work."

"After all, we're family. If you ever need anything, don't hesitate to ask your sister Qingyu."

Sebastian Ye's eyes were filled with gentle warmth. He patted Luis's shoulder and said, "Originally, I didn't want to disturb your life too much. But this time, I also missed you. I wanted to see how you've been doing lately."

"Everything's going well!!"

Luis still felt somewhat unaccustomed to this kind of paternal affection and caring gaze.

Sebastian Ye brought Luis back to his small courtyard and instructed his driver Yong to go buy some more snacks to go with the drinks.

Then he opened the fridge, took out some beer, and smiled, "Luis, tell your dad, what have you been busy with lately?"

Luis had a few beers with him and gave a general rundown of his current situation, including moving into the villa and the details of those business ventures.

Yong soon returned with a table full of snacks to go with the drinks, mostly simple cold dishes and braised items.

After dropping them off, he left, knowing this was a rare moment of relaxation for Sebastian Ye and not wanting to intrude.

"Self-media, so that's those short videos, huh."

Sebastian Ye furrowed his brow slightly after hearing this, then immediately smiled and said, "It's fine to keep it small-scale. To be honest, those little ventures of yours won't make much money anyway."

"It's good that you don't have to handle everything yourself. At least you don't have to live such a tiring life."

"Staying away from big business is a wise choice. All those big shots I've seen, ambitious as they were, many of them wore themselves out and ended up with all sorts of health problems."

"Speaking of which, your sister Elara and brother-in-law Carter are in charge of that sector. If you need any help, just say the word, it's no trouble at all."

He stayed with Sebastian Ye chatting until past ten. His father was a bit tipsy and, being used to early nights, headed upstairs first.

Luis settled into the same room as last time. But since it was still early and he wasn't sleepy, he pulled out his phone to pass the time.

When he opened his phone, he saw a flood of notifications. Several groups had messages, including from his sister-in-law Nancy.

Deewa and Chloe had also sent messages. When he tapped them open, it was a bunch of follow links.

Luis clicked on them and saw it was the accounts they had registered: Boss Lady Xin, Boss Lady Tong, Boss Lady Jiajia.
