Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 135: Chapter 135: A Pretty Tomboy

A member of the Li family brought Wang Chenning a pen and paper. After taking them, Wang Chenning dashed off a prescription and handed it to Li Baoguo with a chuckle. "Follow this prescription strictly, and I guarantee you’ll be fine for at least half a year!"

Wang Chenning’s penmanship was quite impressive. Li Baoguo’s eyes widened slightly as he took the prescription and read it. He immediately asked Wang Chenning, "And what about after that half a year?"

Wang Chenning just smiled. "That would have nothing to do with today’s birthday wishes or apology!"

Li Baoguo understood Wang Chenning’s implication. He stroked his beard, smiled faintly, and said no more.

Wang Chenning then rose and gestured for Yang Xiaofei to head to the inner hall with him, so they wouldn’t get in the way of others who were waiting to offer their blessings to Li Baoguo.

When Yang Xiaofei reached Wang Chenning’s side, she proactively took his arm and flashed him a sweet smile.

Many people were instantly petrified.

It wasn’t just Wang Chenning who knew that Yang Xiaofei was famous for her "poker face." The rumor was widespread in the social circles of Yanjing’s wealthy elite, and truly, almost no one had ever seen her crack a smile.

And absolutely no one would have imagined that Yang Xiaofei would, in front of so many people, proactively take a man’s arm.

Today, they had witnessed a miracle...

Unless you were a complete fool, it was impossible to misunderstand what was going on.

Li Mingchao and the others who had designs on Yang Xiaofei felt an overwhelming urge to either knock Wang Chenning out with a single punch or just stab him viciously.

The few people who had maneuvered for Yang Xiaofei to invite Wang Chenning along to the birthday banquet were all filled with regret. They had brought this humiliation upon themselves!

Li Mingchao, in particular, was so vexed he felt like slapping himself hard across the face.

What was this, if not him serving up his own face for Wang Chenning to slap?

After walking into the inner hall on Wang Chenning’s arm, Yang Xiaofei let go.

She still wasn’t entirely comfortable being so intimate with Wang Chenning in public.

Taking his arm earlier was merely a way of making a statement.

Bai Qianxun came over, clapped Wang Chenning on the shoulder, and boomed with laughter, "Young Master Wang, I really underestimated you. Today, I just have one thing to say: I’m beyond impressed! You’re the only young man around who would dare to make Old Master Li bow his head in public. To be so brazen and still be treated with such courtesy by the old master... you’re already a legend! Meeting a man of your caliber today has made this trip worthwhile!"

He then gave Yang Xiaofei a thumbs-up. "Xiaofei, you’ve got good taste!"

"Thank you," Yang Xiaofei replied politely.

But then, Bai Qianxun added, "You’d better watch out for Zhao Xiao’an and Luo Yuqing, though. Those two have sharp eyes, too. Keep a close watch on your fiancé, or they might just snatch him away!"

Without waiting for a reaction from either Yang Xiaofei or Wang Chenning, he let out another laugh and returned to his seat.

Yang Xiaofei shot Wang Chenning an expressionless glance. Wang Chenning, unbothered, happened to spot Yang Xiaodong furtively peeking around and quickly called out, "Yang Xiaodong, get over here!"

Since he had always been on good terms with Li Mingchao and was a frequent visitor at the Li family’s home, Yang Xiaodong was naturally present to offer his congratulations for Li Baoguo’s birthday.

However, he hadn’t wanted to run into Yang Xiaofei and Wang Chenning. Thus, he had been skulking around ever since he arrived, never imagining he’d be spotted by the sharp-eyed Wang Chenning.

Yang Xiaodong could only shuffle over dejectedly. After greeting Yang Xiaofei, he said he had some friends he wanted to go say hello to.

Seeing Yang Xiaodong try to bolt right after a quick hello, Wang Chenning wasn’t about to let him get away. He slung an arm around his shoulder and said with a chuckle, "What’s this? You see your own sister and brother-in-law and don’t even bother to come say hello? Are strangers more important than family?"

Wang Chenning’s use of the term "brother-in-law" once again shocked everyone nearby.

This was especially true for those who hadn’t seen Yang Xiaofei take Wang Chenning’s arm.

When these people saw that Yang Xiaofei didn’t react, as if tacitly confirming Wang Chenning’s claim, they were astounded. ’Is this guy actually the Yang family’s son-in-law?’

’No wonder he’s so brazen!’

Yang Xiaodong was mortified, but in front of his sister, he still softly addressed Wang Chenning as "Brother-in-law."

Wang Chenning dragged Yang Xiaodong along as he and Yang Xiaofei greeted several acquaintances. After making some small talk with Yang Xiaodong, he finally let him go.

As if granted a royal pardon, Yang Xiaodong broke free from Wang Chenning’s grasp and vanished in the blink of an eye.

A short while later, Wang Chenning saw Lin Annian enter with several other people to offer birthday congratulations to Li Baoguo.

Wang Chenning’s gaze immediately fell upon the group from the Lin family.

Lin Annian also immediately noticed Wang Chenning standing with Yang Xiaofei. However, his eyes only lingered on Wang Chenning’s face for a moment before shifting away, never to return.

However, a young person beside Lin Annian—someone slightly shorter, with longer hair and strikingly delicate features, making it hard to tell their gender at a glance—kept their eyes fixed on Wang Chenning. Their gaze held a hidden, murderous intent.

"The Lin family is here," Yang Xiaofei, who had also noticed Lin Annian and the others, immediately warned Wang Chenning. "The older man is Lin Annian’s father, Lin Chengping. The one next to Lin Annian is his sister, Lin Anning. She’s a tomboy, fierce and hot-tempered—even more so than you. Not even Bai Qianxun dares to cross her. Be careful. She’ll probably come looking for trouble soon."

Yang Xiaofei’s words were instantly proven true. Once her group had finished offering their birthday respects to Li Baoguo, Lin Anning headed straight for them.

Yang Xiaofei immediately took a step forward, positioning herself slightly in front of Wang Chenning.

"Hello, Miss Yang," Lin Anning said politely, greeting Yang Xiaofei before walking directly up to Wang Chenning. With a defiant look, she asked, "So, you’re Wang Chenning?"

Lin Anning had very attractive features, but they lacked feminine softness. Instead, they had a masculine ruggedness and boldness. Her eyebrows, in particular, were thick and long, even more defined than Wang Chenning’s.

Her clothes were also masculine—a leather jacket, jeans, and boots. Combined with her short, mannish hair and a chest whose curves were almost completely concealed by her attire, she was also very tall for a woman, standing at about five-foot-nine. It was genuinely difficult to tell her gender.

’This is a woman who’s handsome when dressed like a man,’ Wang Chenning thought, ’but would surely be beautiful in a dress!’

"I am," Wang Chenning nodded. After looking Lin Anning up and down, he asked with a smile, "What can I do for you, my good man?"

As he spoke, he gave Yang Xiaofei a subtle wink.

Yang Xiaofei caught his meaning and didn’t correct his choice of words.

"Who are you calling ’my good man’?" Lin Anning’s handsome face grew even colder. "You’ve got some nerve."

"My apologies, sir," Wang Chenning said, now feigning deference. "My eyes must be failing me; I didn’t realize your age!" He couldn’t help but continue the praise, "For a man of your... seniority, you’ve kept yourself in such amazing shape. I truly couldn’t tell! Do you have any secrets to share?"

Lin Anning nearly exploded with rage. She slammed her hand on a nearby table, ignoring the stares from onlookers, and roared, "Open your damn eyes and take a good look! This lady is not some stinking man!"
