Chapter 146: Chapter 146: Why Are You Always So Indecent?
Wang Chenning had long known that Lv Qinglan, the assistant Yang Xiaofei considered her right-hand woman, had been bought by the Li family.
Wang Chenning found it hard to understand why Yang Xiaofei would still entrust Lv Qinglan with important matters, knowing all this.
He thought Yang Xiaofei was too confident. If Lv Qinglan conspired with others to backstab her one day, it would be too late for regrets.
Wang Chenning figured that if Yang Xiaofei were his opponent and Lv Qinglan his mole, he could easily control her.
He would just have Lv Qinglan put something in her tea—some subtle drug with a slow-acting effect that would take hold without her ever realizing. There was no way Yang Xiaofei could guard against that.
The woman’s overconfidence would be her downfall. He felt it was necessary for her to experience a setback.
"So you’re saying you want me to play along?" Wang Chenning didn’t let his thoughts show, a half-smile on his face as he gazed at Yang Xiaofei’s stunningly beautiful features. "Are you trying to give me more leverage against the Li family?"
"That’s only part of it!" Yang Xiaofei nodded. "Too many people resent me for taking over Lingyang Group, especially those in my own Yang family. They’re always pulling strings behind the scenes, planting their people in key positions, or secretly gathering dirt on me to stab me in the back when the time is right. Lv Qinglan is just one pawn I’ve already discovered. I intend to use her to unearth the others!"
Wang Chenning grinned. "So you’re using me as a pawn in this little game of yours?"
Yang Xiaofei stopped walking and tilted her head, looking at Wang Chenning. "I help you, you help me. It’s a win-win, isn’t it?"
"Alright," Wang Chenning agreed with a nod. "Fine, I’ll let you use me in your little plot. Will I have to sacrifice my body for the cause?"
"Why are you always so indecent?" Yang Xiaofei shot Wang Chenning a look before linking her arm with his again. "Let’s go. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Annual Conference has already started. We need to get there before the opening ceremony is over, or we’ll miss our chance to network with some influential figures who rarely make public appearances."
Yang Xiaofei had an excellent figure, and she was deliberately holding his arm tightly. As they walked, the soft, yielding contact inadvertently stirred something in Wang Chenning.
It was doubtful any man could refuse such contact, or claim to hate the sensation...
Seeing how bold Yang Xiaofei was being, Wang Chenning intentionally teased her back.
As a result, Yang Xiaofei’s face quickly flushed red.
"Pervert!" Finally unable to take it anymore, she let go of Wang Chenning’s arm.
"Tch. And who was the one making a move on whom?" Wang Chenning rolled his eyes in annoyance. "I wasn’t the one clinging to you!"
"You have the nerve to say that!" Yang Xiaofei looked like she was ready to kill him.
She had been careful to keep some distance when she took his arm, but this guy had deliberately brushed against her, making her heart race.
’The worst part is that he took advantage of me and then turned it around to blame me. What a total scumbag.’
But just as she was getting ready to tear into him to vent her frustration, Wang Chenning suddenly swept her off her feet.
Her body was suddenly airborne. With a cry of surprise, Yang Xiaofei instinctively threw her arms around Wang Chenning and held on tight.
And just like that, there was no distance left between their bodies.
The feeling of her warm, fragrant body in his arms, combined with that intoxicatingly soft pressure, instantly reminded Wang Chenning of his own virility.
Whether it was because she was intoxicated by Wang Chenning’s masculine scent or simply because she was too caught off guard to react, Yang Xiaofei actually forgot to struggle after he swept her into his arms.
It wasn’t until Wang Chenning gave her a mischievous pinch that she cried out and snapped back to her senses.
As she scrambled to get down from his arms, their bodies pressed even more intimately together.
Wang Chenning could clearly feel her body trembling, and he saw the blush spreading across her pretty face.
When her feet touched the ground, Yang Xiaofei’s legs felt a little weak, and she seemed unsteady. Wang Chenning quickly reached out to support her.
"President Yang, throwing yourself into my arms like this is going to shatter the romantic dreams of so many young women," Wang Chenning whispered in her ear as he steadied her. "Was that on purpose?"
In truth, there was no one else around, or Wang Chenning wouldn’t have dared to tease Yang Xiaofei so brazenly.
Yang Xiaofei was already completely flustered from being held and then steadied by Wang Chenning. Now, hearing him tease her like this, she pinched him hard out of a mixture of shame and anger.
"How can you be so shameless?"
Wang Chenning quickly caught her hand and, just like that, began leading her forward.
Yang Xiaofei struggled a few times, but couldn’t pull free. In the end, she let him lead her on, her face still blushing.
Thankfully, after they had walked a little way, Wang Chenning let go of her hand.
But Yang Xiaofei was no ordinary woman. She quickly composed herself, and the blush on her cheeks slowly faded.
When they reached the parking lot, Wang Chenning opened the car door for Yang Xiaofei, helped her inside, and then sat down next to her in the back seat.
Wang Chenning got into the car empty-handed, which surprised Yang Xiaofei. "You’re just going like that? You’re not bringing any of your medical equipment?"
"If someone really doesn’t trust my skills and wants to challenge me, we can just find a random set of needles there," Wang Chenning said with a laugh. "Don’t you think that makes for a better flex?"
Yang Xiaofei rolled her eyes. "Could you try to be a little more refined when you speak?"
"What’s wrong with speaking your mind? Look at Bai Qianxun—she lives with so much personality!" Wang Chenning reached out and pinched Yang Xiaofei’s cheek. "Putting on airs like you do all day, doesn’t it get tiring?"
"You’re impossible!" Yang Xiaofei slapped his hand away. "If you keep getting handsy, I’m just going to ignore you!"
"So ignore me," Wang Chenning said, disregarding her feigned anger and deliberately pinching her waist.
Yang Xiaofei couldn’t help but yelp, her entire body tumbling onto him.
Absolutely furious, she once again looked ready to fight him to the death.
Unfortunately, before she could even begin her flurry of ineffective blows, Wang Chenning caught her small hands.
She struggled with all her might, but couldn’t break free. Instead, she only succeeded in wearing herself out until she was panting for breath.
As she panted, she noticed Wang Chenning’s gaze, which had been fixed mockingly on her face, drift downward.
Her heavy panting made her chest rise and fall dramatically.
Her face flushed red again as he stared at her so openly.
But she also found it thrilling. So, she pushed out her chest and met Wang Chenning’s gaze head-on...
