Chapter 123: Chapter 123: A Bit Crazy
Wang Chenning knew Yang Xiaofu was wild, but he had still underestimated just how wild she was...
After more than ten minutes, Wang Chenning couldn’t take her clumsy, artless approach any longer and forcefully pushed her away.
"What are you doing, gnawing on me like that? You think I’m a piece of jerky?"
Yang Xiaofu blushed and giggled. "Well, I don’t have any experience. Not like you, you’re such an old pro. You’ve got to be incredibly experienced. Why don’t you teach me?"
"Oh, are all modern women this wild?" Wang Chenning pushed Yang Xiaofu’s face away. "What’s your game here? Are you trying to steal your own sister’s fiancé?"
"My sister has always said that she would never agree to this marriage, that she’d never accept you as her fiancé. I’ve been hearing it for years; I’m sick to death of it. And you don’t want to accept the engagement either—you went to explain things to my sister the moment you arrived in Yanjing. In other words, the engagement between you two is basically off. I’m not your sister-in-law, and you’re not my brother-in-law. We’re just an unmarried man and an unmarried woman. I’ve got my eye on you, so can’t I make the first move?"
Yang Xiaofu said all this with righteous conviction, without the slightest hint of embarrassment.
Seeing Wang Chenning’s dumbfounded expression, Yang Xiaofu propped her chin on her arm and gave him a domineering look. "What do you mean, ’modern women’? Hmph, don’t women from any era have the right to pursue the person they like? Besides, you saw me completely naked on the first day we met. The least you can do is take some responsibility for that."
As she spoke, Yang Xiaofu paid no mind to her own aggressive, almost menacing posturing. She grabbed Wang Chenning’s hand. "Anyway, you have to take responsibility to the end! Got it? To the very end!"
Wang Chenning smiled and used a subtle technique. When Yang Xiaofu found herself unable to stay upright and collapsed, he looked at her playfully and said, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll think less of you?"
"So what if you do? Who’s afraid of who!" Yang Xiaofu huffed. "If you’ve got the guts, then do something that’ll make me admire you!"
Although Wang Chenning had absorbed the memories of that worldly master, his own nature was still fundamentally in control of his body.
At his hot-blooded age, resisting such a temptation was simply too difficult.
So, he decided to throw caution to the wind.
But just as he was about to completely overwhelm Yang Xiaofu, he hesitated. He thought of Yang Xiaofei.
Seeing Wang Chenning hesitate, Yang Xiaofu took the initiative again. But with her complete lack of experience, it took her a considerable amount of time just to undo his belt.
Just as she managed to get it undone, the phone in Wang Chenning’s pocket started ringing.
Yang Xiaofu ignored it and continued her clumsy fumbling. In her carelessness, she knocked his phone onto the bed, accidentally hitting the answer button.
"Where are you?" Yang Xiaofei’s voice came from the phone. "Is Xiaofu’s treatment finished?"
The voice startled them both.
The hand Yang Xiaofu had on Wang Chenning’s belt froze in place, and all of his arousal was extinguished in an instant.
"Are you planning on coming over to check?" Wang Chenning reacted quickly, grabbing the phone. "Don’t you trust me with your little sister?"
"Yang Xiaodong needs to talk to her, but she’s not answering her phone!" Yang Xiaofei’s voice was as calm as ever. "He has a file on Yang Xiaofu’s computer, so I told him to go over and get it himself."
Yang Xiaofu didn’t make a sound, but she was leaning close to Wang Chenning, eavesdropping. When she heard that Yang Xiaodong was coming over to get a file because she wasn’t answering her phone, she nearly shrieked in alarm.
She clapped a hand over her mouth, shot a few frantic gestures at Wang Chenning, then grabbed her clothes and scrambled toward the bathroom.
Watching Yang Xiaofu’s elegant figure disappear, Wang Chenning told Yang Xiaofei that Xiaofu was fine. He explained that she just hadn’t been sleeping well, and with her period coming up, some symptoms were more pronounced. After his treatment, she should be okay.
Wang Chenning quickly changed the subject, telling her he had just discussed personnel arrangements with Zheng Qiuhang.
"I’ve already given her the files you sent me on those people. You could call it a test for her. We’ll see how she handles the assignments—whether she goes by her personal preferences or by their individual strengths."
"You should have a decent eye for talent, and I doubt Zheng Qiuhang would dare hold anything back right now. If you train her well, she’ll definitely become an excellent professional manager, a top-tier management talent." After talking about Zheng Qiuhang, Yang Xiaofei posed a question to Wang Chenning. "If you develop her into someone truly exceptional, I might just try to poach her to come work for me. If that day comes, would you let her go?"
"Aren’t you just jealous!" Wang Chenning laughed. "You’re worried about her being around me, afraid she’ll seduce me, so you’re making up an excuse to take her off my hands. Isn’t that it?"
"I am!" Yang Xiaofei admitted readily. "Anyone can see how deeply grateful she is to you. If you were to ask her for anything, she certainly wouldn’t refuse. With a person like that by your side, no fiancée would ever feel secure!"
"I’m actually speechless!"
"Don’t forget the birthday banquet tomorrow night!" Yang Xiaofei said, ready to end the call. "Why don’t you come to my office a bit early tomorrow, and we can go together? I’ve already prepared a gift, so don’t worry about getting one."
"An invitation to tour your company?"
Again, Yang Xiaofei admitted it readily. "Yes. Aren’t you the least bit interested in the company your own fiancée runs?"
"Alright!" Wang Chenning agreed after a moment’s thought. "I’ll come visit your Lingyang Group tomorrow, then. Just make sure you have some good tea ready to welcome me!"
Yang Xiaofei replied, "I can even come down to the lobby to greet you personally and give you the full VIP treatment. That should be satisfactory, right?"
Wang Chenning said with a look of exasperation, "You seem so different from when we first met. The change is so drastic, it’s almost unbelievable!"
Yang Xiaofei retorted huffily, "You’re still my fiancé. Why should I have to hide my true self from you?"
Once again, Wang Chenning was left speechless.
Just then, he heard the sound of a door opening, and Wang Chenning decisively said his goodbyes to Yang Xiaofei.
He had just hung up when the front door opened. Yang Xiaodong, looking quite handsome, walked in. His hair was styled in a small braid, and he wore a crisp suit underneath a long trench coat.
He didn’t see Wang Chenning as he came in and, assuming the apartment was empty, headed straight for the study.
But as he reached the middle of the living room, he saw him.
The moment he saw Wang Chenning, he froze on the spot. Horror visibly crept across his handsome face.
"Hey there, little brother-in-law," Wang Chenning said, walking out of the bedroom and greeting him politely.
Yang Xiaodong leaped back like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and shrieked, "Wang Chenning, what the hell are you doing here! What did you do to my sister?!"
