No, he did not feel ready for this, but he doubted he ever would be. He had to do it though, for Yihao's sake. At least Xue Yang was with him, it was always easier to feel tough when he didn't have to do it alone. Obviously he also had bodyguards, but he didn't know any of them, not really, and Xue Yang had actually practised with him yesterday. Hauntingly, he had been good at the 'uke' role too, there was something he'd never be able to unsee.

But for now, it meant that he entered the warehouse with someone he sort of kind of trusted by his side and he could just try to stick to the script as much as possible. The biggest issue was Yihao recognising him, so the first thing that happened was Xue Yang walking in ahead of him and pulling Yihao up, covering his mouth, and pleasantly smiling at the other men in the room.

Chenglei nodded, but didn't bow. Important. He had to be a boss. "That's the boy?"

Obviously, but apparently rhetorical questions were necessary to really convincingly be an asshole.
