My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Note: It\'s a Taiga chapter with heartwarming scenes. Fluffy. Character Development Chapter. Optional?

If there was to be an omen of truth in the delirious thoughts of a secretary, enough needed to be said. Some things just happened and it couldn\'t be changed or avoided. There was both good and bad in the world, and sometimes, things sucked. Pretty badly.

Taiga could have been a good example of it—could have complained about it all and then some, but the Tigress Spirit hadn\'t questioned it and only accepted things as they were. She had been eating a tuna sandwich when the CEO stepped back into his bedroom for a breath of air.

"Oh." She blinked and stared at the man… that somehow almost smelled like fish to her. She wrinkled her nose but raised a hand.. "You\'re back, Bossman."

A look of surprise crossed his face. "Miss Taiga, you\'re here."

"Where else would Taiga be?" She raised a brow. "You didn\'t bring Taiga along for your date with your secretary and then stayed a night away. It can\'t be helped that Taiga is here unless you wanted her to go away." She had spent most part of her day yesterday going around the area of the neighborhood, trying to clear her head and sniff out potential threats.

The man gazed at her with a serious look. "Have you only seen the sandwich now? I left it here yesterday morning."

"It\'s still good and something mundane like a one-day-old sandwich can not poison Taiga\'s body." She chomped it down in one bite and then wiped her hands. "Are you going to spend your day with Taiga now? Or at least bring her along this time to wherever you will go?"

Instead of answering, the man just stepped over to his bed and then laid down. "In a minute or ten, I\'ll be leaving, once I get the coordinates for Luo Ju Di\'s current accommodations from Ying Yue He… I think I have to meet my daughter formally."

"Daughter?!" Taiga\'s eyes widened. "Taiga didn\'t know that!"

"I did not know of it either until much recently, so you haven\'t missed much." The man\'s eyes were now closed, as if trying to take a quick nap before he went about his days again.

It was like the man still hadn\'t been able to use qi fully—the tigress narrowed her eyes and quickly noticed the stronger amount of qi gathered in his body and meridians. It was almost like he had leaped like a fish into several stages in just one night!

"What happened last night?" she asked.

"I slept with someone—" the CEO halted and then opened an eye. "I suppose that is not what you were looking for, though."

Taiga scrunched up her nose. "You rejected Taiga\'s offer, but then went around with someone else. Taiga should be hurt, but unless you have cultivated through absorbing your partner\'s qi, Taiga is asking about your cultivation progress—the meridians in your body are now flowing with more vital energies at superior rates than when we had last met. Did you go through a process of breakthrough? Or did you go through some heavenly enlightenment?"

"I broke through the bottleneck I had last night, which I believe was only possible through your valuable input when we sparred. I wouldn\'t have gained a new technique without you, and for that, you have my gratitude."

Taiga could somehow tell that the man had somewhat changed by a tiny bit. Not that she had known him a lot to give an accurate gauge of his attitude, but was it because he became a little more talkative? 

Regardless, she dismissed his words. 

"If the Bossman wanted to, he could actually be a smooth-talker, huh? At least when your guard is down, Taiga observes—it seems like it\'s best to talk with you when you\'re tired."

"Is that so?"

"Mhmm."

"I think it applies for everyone, Miss Taiga." In doing so, he once again closed his eyes.

She gave a shrug and then watched the man still lying down on the bed. He wasn\'t moving and was far too relaxed in his position—a wicked grin crossed her lips and then she performed a belly flop atop his stomach. Which earned her a loud grunt from the CEO, taken aback and possibly hurt to some extent.

He raised his head slightly, only to see her sprawled horizontally on him. "Miss Taiga?"

"Before you actually say a thing—Taiga isn\'t that heavy." She stuck a tongue at him.

One didn\'t even need to be a cultivator to detect it in the air. Perhaps minute traces of negative qi could help, but it was easy enough to notice that the man was tired. Possibly taken aback by everything happening around him and for someone like Taiga, all she could do, and all she wanted to do was stretch and lay back down.

"Is it not uncomfortable for you to rest like this?"

He had no complaints about her being this close then? She chuckled and stretched. "Not at all, Bossman. Taiga thinks this is fine, she\'s getting paid by the hour she\'s with you, right? It\'s nothing too troublesome and Taiga doesn\'t have to jump through hoops or anything that grand."

"Indeed, you don\'t." The man might have cracked a smile for a second, although Taiga wondered if she had been mistaken until he took a deep breath. "We\'ll have to leave in ten minutes, if I fall asleep, wake me up."

"If? Take a catnap, it seems like the Bossman had been busy pounding all night, eh?"

He didn\'t give a reply immediately, but then said, "I don\'t have to answer that."

Taiga only stifled her laughter and nodded. "Yes, Bossman doesn\'t have to answer to Taiga, but if you have questions for Taiga, then she would probably answer it."

A silence would come after her words, possibly the CEO mulling over a question for her, preparing and thinking of a way to address her—but then she heard a slight snore. Which made a pout cross on her lips, but then she gently eased up from above him to give him a moment of recuperation. She looked at his slumbering face and then petted his hair.

Ten minutes didn\'t really seem enough.

Author\'s Note: Some of you may already have Best Girls in your mind, especially with the (hopefully) awesome sex and banter scenes, but there are times where there is fluff and fluff must it be. I hope you didn\'t skip xD Regardless, thanks for reading!
