My CEO Harem Cultivation System

A young child lay in the hospital room all by herself, asleep and currently unaware of her surroundings for the first time. Tired and worn-out from spending her days at the hospital, Chunhua was fast asleep and it was one of those rare resting times without any nightmares plaguing her dreams.

While some of the people inside of the hospital were in degrees of shock with a body seemingly awakening a couple hours ago—and a nurse was pretty sure it had been a zombie and were afraid of some apocalypse. 

Chunhua actually managed to rest in peace and solitude.

It was at that exact moment that the door opened and a man and a woman stepped inside of the room to check up on her. Despite their busy lifestyle and having not actually been prepared for any sort of parenthood, they did their best to take care of the young child.

The now-current CEO of Olympian Corp visited his old friend and her daughter along with his girlfriend. Both of them met together at the hospital right on the dot to pick Chunhua up from here. 

"Oh, she's asleep." Gabrielle said with a sigh of relief.. She rested her hand on his shoulder and whispered quietly. "Must have spent the entire afternoon watching her mother."

Li Liang stared at Chunhua and softened slightly, "I really can't believe you just left her alone here, Gab. Surely Hirire can manage even without you around, right?"

"Geez, just because I don't own a multi-billion company doesn't mean I can let my business unattended. Besides, Chunhua's a big girl—or so she tells me in order for us not to worry. I think she wanted alone time to be with her mother and I respect that." 

"But I really did expect that he'd be here," Liang frowned slightly. He looked around the room that was bereft of anything that told of another visitor. Luo Ju Di herself did not have many friends in the city and neither did they mention this to the public. "I mean, he was all up in the news and…"

"Were you looking for me?" Li Yang appeared right behind the couple, with Taiga right behind him. The Tigress Spirit was clothed in what appeared to be shorts and a simple long-sleeved top which was a direct contrast to Li Yang's sharply dressed outfit. 

His older brother spun to his feet and immediately stared at him. "Yang, where exactly have you been for the past months? Did you not know how long you were gone—we thought you were dead!"

Li Yang stared at him and only managed a small smile. "Not much of a welcome is it?"

"You could have said something."

"I don't have excuses for that..." Li Yag started but kept his gaze on Luo Ju Di's body. In his gaze—something was already happening. "But it seems like we need to call the doctor."

"What?" 

Gabrielle glanced over her shoulder and her eyes widened. She immediately shook her boyfriend's shoulder, "Liang, Liang—Ju Di is waking up." 

Although their conversation was abrupt, Li Liang had to let it go as he and his girlfriend were quick to call some doctors. They didn't even just use the small button to call the doctors, but they went out of their way to grab any available nurses and other medical professionals around.

Li Yang let out a sigh of relief. 

Luo Ju Di's eyes bleared open and she slowly sat up—and yet she weakly just leaned up and stared at Li Yang. A part of her gazed at him unsurely but then she glanced around their surroundings. "How long was I out?"

"Nearly a year."

Luo Ju Di gazed at Chunhua asleep in the spare bed and her gaze softened, "I see… Thank you, Mister Li. I shouldn't have been gone for that long and yet I did. Chunhua looks like she grew a little taller—hah."

Li Yang stared at her. "You don't have to force yourself to move too much, you just woke up, Luo Ju Di."

"I don't like being stuck in here." Luo Ju Di said. "But I suppose it allowed Chunhua to be taken care of by you… or by your brother and his girlfriend?"

Her words made it seem like she never knew that he was gone. Maybe she didn't know it, but surely she should have remembered right? He didn't know how things worked for her while she was in the coma. "Something like that…"

"Well, you have my gratitude. I did not expect to be in this state—and for the expenses. I'll make sure to reimburse you," Luo Ju Di said. She was immediately taking things into account despite having just woken up.

"I doubt something like this is inexpensive, Ju Di," Li Yang said. He thought about her situation… and half-realized that he hadn't been that able to read reports about "Do you have medical insurance?" 

"Some but… I can't expect you and your family to cover my bills." There was a certain sense of pride in her words, refusing to accept his help.

On top of that, she made no mention of what happened in the other world, but that was alright. Either she didn't want to speak about it or had forgotten along the lines of journeying back here to the world.

"It's fine—you should take advantage of what you can, Ju Di," Li Yang said. "It may seem hard to accept this, but doing this won't affect my family at all. If you wish to avoid directly receiving money… then it's also easy to simply create a charity where the donations will come in."

Luo Ju Di stared at him and then sighed. "You don't have to make it that complicated. Fine, I'll accept your help so no need to go all over the loops."

"Good, then that's settled." Li Yang glanced at Chunhua. "Once you're feeling better and have recovered, we can start talking about the arrangements. I think Chunhua wants to stay with you, she wouldn't be here if she didn't… but I'd still like to take an active role when I can."

"Well, you're no longer the one running the company," Liang said from outside the door. He and Gabrielle returned with some doctors and nurses that immediately approached. "I had to take over when you left…so you do have some free time now."

Li Yang glanced at him. "Well, at least you finally did it for once. You have my thanks."

His older brother blinked, frowned at his tone but just sighed and nodded. "Alright, I suppose I can leave this situation to you now, then? It's been some time since Gabrielle and I had some time together, so we'll leave it up to you."

"Of course, take some time off if you want," Li Yang said. 

"Thank you, Liang and Miss Gab." Luo Ju Di managed to call out throughout the medical checkups that the nurses and doctors were conducting. All of them were mostly stunned that she had woken up at all.

"Hey, no problem—Chunhua is a cool kid, we didn't have any problems at all." Li Liang called out and waved. "I would stay a bit with Gabrielle but…"

"It's fine, visit me when things are better sorted here."

"We'll make it up to you, thanks!" Li Liang called out to her before he left with his girlfriend.

Once they were out, Taiga herself just crossed her arms over her chest and looked at Li Yang. While she was completely around and perfectly visible this time for everyone to see, her presence was still largely overlooked.

"Did your brother and his partner just ignore Taiga?"

"They were more concerned about my long absence, but I can introduce you properly if you wish," Li Yang said. 

"No, it's fine. Taiga doesn't care that much." 

He didn't expect that Taiga would mention something like that right now, but he was more than okay to comply if that's what she wanted. "You have your work documents from the Shen Society, right?"

"Taiga does, although erm… didn't bring it now." 

"Well, it's still alright, we can just use it for later if you still don't mind working for me. I didn't expect to see you so soon, but I'm glad I did." Li Yang said before he glanced over towards Luo Ju Di. 

While she seemed preoccupied with the check-up, Li Yang and Taiga sat outside of her room to just talk.

"Taiga is glad to see you too, but..." Taiga punched his arm and gave him a huge frown. "You still haven't given an excuse on why you left—so Taiga sort of understands why your family is acting all weird."

Li Yang winced slightly at the punch, but corrected her. "Liang isn't my only family, Taiga."

"But his girlfriend is part of your family too… and in a way, Luo Ju Di and Chunhua too," Taiga said and leaned back against the chair. It appeared like there was something on her mind. She fiddled with her hands for a moment and then eventually looked up at him. "If you wanted... Taiga can be part of your family too."

"Hmm?" Li Yang looked back at her. "What did you say?".

"Well, that is if you wanted to." Taiga pouted and quickly looked away. "Taiga's already part of both Shou Temple Sect and Shen Society, so it's your loss if you don't want Taiga around."

Li Yang chuckled and pulled her closer to him. "I was kidding, I'd be honored to have you as part of my family."

Taiga leaned back against him and rested her head on his shoulder. "...Does that make Taiga a step-mom or an aunt?"
