Gorgeous Female Tenants

"Well, since that’s the case, I won’t push you anymore. Take your time to think it over. The doors of our company are always open for you!" Qian Wantong laughed heartily.

After saying that, he started eating again. After a satisfying meal, Huang Kunsheng took his leave first; he looked very unwell and left in a hurry.

Qian Wantong and Xu Xiangbei chatted for a while longer, and then, feeling a bit tired, wanted to go upstairs to rest.

"It’s getting late today; why don’t you all stay at my house? As for me, I’m feeling a bit fatigued, so I’ll go upstairs to sleep. Feel free to help yourselves!" After speaking, he turned to instruct Qian Duoduo.

"Radiant Light, take good care of Mr. Xu for me!"

Finally, he was assisted upstairs by the maid and the bodyguard.

Xu Xiangbei felt it was getting late and was too lazy to drive. Plus, he had drunk some alcohol, so he decided to sleep at Qian Duoduo’s place as it was convenient.

Qian Duoduo arranged separate rooms for Xu Xiangbei and Xu Wanqing on the first floor. The rooms were very large and spacious, with everything one could want, no less than a five-star hotel. In some aspects, they even surpassed such hotels.

Soon after, Xu Wanqing came by to visit.

"Have you changed your ways? Not taking advantage of such a great opportunity? That’s the Shengshi Business Group, worth forty or fifty billion! They want you to be the general manager; without even mentioning shares, your yearly salary would likely be tens of millions. Plus, once Elder Qian passes, wouldn’t you be the biggest shareholder? No matter how you look at it, you’d have over a hundred billion, yet you rejected it, completely unlike your style."

She carefully scrutinized Xu Xiangbei, her eyes speaking volumes, as if asking: what’s your hidden agenda?

"I’m not someone who sees money and gets greedy; I’m an upright gentleman. Besides, saving Elder Qian was purely due to humanitarian spirit and brotherly friendship with Qian Duoduo. I never thought about any returns; it was fully motivated by the spirit of Lei Feng. How can you think of me so narrowly? It’s like judging a gentleman with a petty man’s heart!" Xu Xiangbei looked helpless.

"I know you too well. Tell me, are you playing hard to get?" Xu Wanqing continued scrutinizing him, clearly incredulous.

"Playing hard to get? Do you think I’m envious of a general manager position? Let me tell you, I’m the president of the Thunderbird Group and the largest shareholder. That’s a billion-dollar company, so my net worth is tens of billions. I’ve never lacked money. Also, with my medical skills, making money is easy. Just opening a clinic, you’d be surprised how many wealthy people would be willing to spend their fortunes seeking my treatment."

Xu Xiangbei spoke earnestly, sticking to the facts, not wanting the beautiful woman to think he’s a scheming, sinister man. His tone was filled with an air of grandeur, righteousness, and kindness.

"But didn’t you have conditions to save me? Clearly taking advantage!" Xu Wanqing retorted bluntly; she couldn’t stand Xu Xiangbei’s act of being straightforward.

"As the old saying goes, you gain some, you lose some! I’m friends with Qian Duoduo, so saving his father out of loyalty is understandable. But I have little connection with you, right? Miss Xu, asking a small reward for saving you is reasonable. Is there such a thing as a free lunch? Clearly not."

Seeing her unresponsive, Xu Xiangbei continued to explain: "Besides, I wasn’t taking advantage. I never forced you; it was entirely voluntary. We didn’t even sign a contract or a pledge, just a verbal agreement. If you backtrack and burn bridges later, I wouldn’t be able to bite you, right!"

Xu Xiangbei continued speaking with a trace of helplessness on his face.

"I’m someone who keeps promises. I say I’ll do it, and I won’t back down. If you’re worried, I can write you a pledge right away!"

Xu Wanqing bit her lip and spoke each word deliberately.

"There’s no need for a pledge; I trust you!" Actually, Xu Xiangbei had words he didn’t say: If you backtrack, it wouldn’t matter much to me.

He never sought returns while saving others. Besides, he couldn’t bear to see a young and beautiful woman like Xu Wanqing perish; it’d be such a waste!

"So, when can you start treating me? After your last treatment, I felt a bit better, but there’s still some pain left, not completely cured." Xu Wanqing was very concerned about her condition, as it could be life-threatening.

The most precious thing in this world? One’s life. The cheapest thing in the world? In many people’s eyes, it’s also life. Just someone else’s life, a cat, a dog, a flower, a grass, even though they are lives too.

"I can treat you right now. My True Qi has recovered considerably. Although it can’t completely cure you this time, it can stabilize your condition temporarily."

Actually, Xu Xiangbei could completely cure her, but he was casting a long line to catch a big fish. He wanted to take things slowly, giving him more time to bond with Xu Wanqing. Using his charm to win people over and advance his grand ambitions.

That’s what Xu Xiangbei thought in his heart, but he wasn’t sure how things would play out in reality.

"Thank you!" Xu Wanqing’s face carried a hint of blush, clearly unused to saying such words.

"No need, why not take a bath in my room?" He gestured grandly towards the bathroom nearby.

"Huh? Didn’t we agree that only after I’m cured, we could...?" Xu Wanxin’s face showed pain and hesitation.

Though she knew she’d eventually come into such a scenario, it came too soon for her, leaving her completely unprepared, caught off guard.

Xu Xiangbei heard her words and saw her shy face, laughed: "What are you thinking? I meant for you to take a bath to relax your body, to increase blood circulation. It’d be more effective when I treat you later! If you want now, I don’t mind; at worst, I sacrifice my life for friendship!"

"Oh, I’ll take a bath now, don’t think weird thoughts. Hurry with the treatment, don’t think about anything until I’m cured!" Xu Wanqing wished she could find a hole to hide in, blushing, running into the bathroom.

"Remember, raise the water temperature; it’ll help dispel the cold, and dry off properly. Dry your hair, don’t catch a chill!" Seeing the aloof general manager turn into a frightened little rabbit amused Xu Xiangbei.

"Got it, don’t peek!" Xu Wanqing’s voice came from the bathroom, accompanied by the sound of flowing water.

Aren’t you encouraging me indirectly? Xu Xiangbei thought to himself, feeling a warmth in his heart as if he were being tickled by a cat.

Listening to the sound of water from the bathroom, seeing the blurry, enchanting shadow on the door, his body became increasingly restless, almost uncontrollable, his mind imagining beautiful scenes, feeling dry-mouthed.

Several times he wanted to rush in and see, but ultimately resisted. This was indeed a struggle!

Xu Xiangbei tried doing other things, but whether reading, looking at his phone, using the computer, or practicing, nothing could calm his mind.

Finally, he had to recite the Clear Heart Spell and operate the Ancient TaiChu Scripture, finally calming down, feeling empty yet tranquil.

"What are you doing? I’m done with the bath," the melodious voice pulled him back.

Xu Xiangbei opened his eyes and was amazed!

A delicate oval face, slightly round, rosy, so fair, it was a heavenly creation, matched with a head of gorgeous black hair, only ’perfect’ could describe it. Her shoulders were like two white jade lambs, wrapped in a white robe showcasing her perfect figure, truly protruding where needed, hollowing where appropriate! Below were her long legs, stepping on a pair of maroon slippers, revealing fair, rosy calves, altogether a beauty emerging from the bath.

Xu Xiangbei, who had been calm, felt restless again, with a rush of heat, blood surging to his head, almost spraying out his nose, luckily holding it back perfectly.

"What’s wrong? Why are you staring at me?" Xu Wanqing looked at Xu Xiangbei with bright eyes, with a small drop of water on her eyelashes, sparkling, making him uneasy.

"You’re tempting me to commit a crime!" Xu Xiangbei swallowed before regaining his composure.

"Don’t do anything rash!" Xu Wanqing hadn’t realized how alluring she was.

But thinking about being alone with him, plus she just got out of the bath, basically wearing only a robe, if Xu Xiangbei used force, she’d lose too much.

"Little beauty, I’m coming!" Xu Xiangbei saw her expression and suddenly had a brilliant idea, acting impatient.
