Chapter 171: Chapter 171: Tender Warmth
"I’m not coming over!" Wang Chenning wasn’t scared of Luo Yuqing’s threat, of course, but he was afraid she might flip out, so he gave her a sliver of hope. "If nothing unexpected comes up tomorrow, I’ll come over and help with your conditioning!"
"Fine, tomorrow it is!" Luo Yuqing finally accepted, then immediately reminded Wang Chenning, "And let me tell you, you’re not to touch Zhao Xiao’an. At least not right now!"
"Something’s come up, can’t talk anymore!" Wang Chenning simply ignored her after that.
Just as Wang Chenning put his phone away, Zheng Qiuhang came in with a few people carrying food and drinks.
After setting everything down, Zheng Qiuhang had the other two people leave, personally attending to Wang Chenning herself.
Wang Chenning asked Zheng Qiuhang, "Did you let all those people go?"
Zheng Qiuhang nodded. "Yes, I let them go."
"Did they make a fuss?"
Zheng Qiuhang smiled. "Of course. They raised hell."
"So how did you handle it?"
"I slapped the three ringleaders twice each and threatened that if they kept it up, I’d have the hall’s security guards come and ’play’ with them. That scared them off."
"You’ve got some moves!" Wang Chenning gave Zheng Qiuhang a thumbs-up. "Looks like you’ve learned a thing or two from me!"
"But of course!" Zheng Qiuhang looked at him coquettishly, then, as if suddenly remembering something, she let out a soft sigh and lowered her gaze. "Everyone is saying I’m your woman. I tried to explain, but no one believes me. Brother Ning, what do you think I should do?"
Wang Chenning smiled. "Well, what do you think you should do?"
Zheng Qiuhang looked aggrieved. "Nothing has even happened, yet I’m stuck with this reputation for no reason. I feel so helpless!"
"If you’ve done nothing wrong, you have nothing to fear." Wang Chenning had no intention of making a move on Zheng Qiuhang right now, so he didn’t give her a chance to let her imagination run wild. "Let’s use this time while we’re having a late-night snack to talk business. I’m going to be very busy for a while. I might have to go abroad in a few days and won’t be back for at least half a month. So, if you have any issues, bring them up now, or I won’t be able to help you resolve them later."
Seeing Wang Chenning’s attitude, Zheng Qiuhang, who had originally hoped to fulfill her wish that very night, immediately adjusted her mindset.
She began by briefing him on the people she had recruited recently.
These people had all been recommended to Wang Chenning by Yang Xiaofei. Before sending them over, Yang Xiaofei had personally vetted each one, so their caliber was naturally a cut above the rest.
Coupled with the high salaries Wang Chenning was paying, they were all working very diligently.
"In another half a month at most, we can have them take up their respective posts. At that point, we can dismiss the staff Li Mingchao left behind." After bringing up this most important matter, Zheng Qiuhang added with a gentle smile, "The rest of them probably don’t care who the boss is; they’re just here for a paycheck. But don’t you worry. I’ll evaluate every single person carefully. If I find anyone problematic or who poses a potential risk, I’ll let them go!"
Wang Chenning nodded, affirming his confidence in Zheng Qiuhang’s capabilities.
After that, Zheng Qiuhang went on to report on the hall’s recent business performance and the progress of the plans she had implemented. By the time she was done, Wang Chenning had also finished his late-night snack.
"Go take a shower. I’ll help you with your conditioning, and once I’m done, I’m heading home to rest." Wang Chenning glanced at the time. "Showering plus conditioning, I’ll give you one hour."
Zheng Qiuhang understood the implication in Wang Chenning’s words and immediately agreed.
After making another pot of tea for Wang Chenning, she went to take her shower.
She didn’t try to seduce Wang Chenning again. After her shower, she didn’t put on revealing sleepwear. Instead, she wore a two-piece pajama set that left little chance of accidental exposure.
While Wang Chenning was helping her with the conditioning, she didn’t try to tease him with her actions or words.
This left Wang Chenning quite satisfied.
’This woman isn’t just smart; she’s tactful. She’s definitely worthy of my trust.’
After leaving Qingyun Hall, Wang Chenning went to Zhao Xiao’an’s place after all.
Considering she had come to interview him right after returning from Europe, Wang Chenning was willing to give her a little "comfort."
He used his fingerprint to get into Zhao Xiao’an’s apartment, and after quickly washing up, Wang Chenning slipped into her warm bed.
Zhao Xiao’an was fast asleep. When Wang Chenning slid into bed, she just mumbled a little and went right back to her deep sleep.
Wang Chenning pulled Zhao Xiao’an into his arms, and they slept like that until broad daylight.
The next day, Zhao Xiao’an woke up even earlier than Wang Chenning.
When she opened her eyes and saw Wang Chenning lying beside her, she was both surprised and overjoyed.
She didn’t get up right away, nor did she wake him. Instead, she just watched him quietly for a while.
Wang Chenning was handsome even in his sleep, and Zhao Xiao’an’s heart filled with tenderness as she watched him.
She pressed her whole body against Wang Chenning’s, and when she wrapped her long legs around his, she felt something unexpected and immediately blushed.
Wang Chenning was startled awake and immediately understood what was going on.
"Launching a sneak attack on me, are we?" He reached out and pinched Zhao Xiao’an’s nose, teasing, "To think a beautiful girl who looks as pure as jade would do something like this!"
Zhao Xiao’an’s embarrassment instantly turned to anger. She once again unleashed her Nine Yin White Bone Claw, preparing to give Wang Chenning a proper punishment.
Of course, Wang Chenning wasn’t about to let her succeed. He was afraid the inexperienced woman wouldn’t know her own strength, so he grabbed her hand and promptly counterattacked.
Zhao Xiao’an was no match for Wang Chenning in either strength or experience. In just a few seconds, she had lost all ability to resist.
Not that she wanted to resist.
"You’ve seen, and you’ve touched. Isn’t it time for you to make me perfect?" Zhao Xiao’an said, her eyes full of allure as she enjoyed Wang Chenning’s gentle touch. "I know my figure has its flaws. You have to make me perfect!"
"Too bad I didn’t bring my tools!" Wang Chenning chuckled slyly. "Besides, the tool I brought with me can’t be used right now!"
Zhao Xiao’an froze for a second before she understood what Wang Chenning meant.
"You jerk, you just love teasing me!" She tried to get her hands on him again, but when she couldn’t, she resorted to begging Wang Chenning. "Can you let go of my hands? I won’t misbehave. Just let me feel it! Xiaowang!"
But Wang Chenning kept a firm grip on her hands.
Unwilling to give up, Zhao Xiao’an tried another tactic. She not only gave Wang Chenning a long, passionate kiss but also turned herself into a seductive siren, winding her body around his.
Wang Chenning couldn’t take her passionate assault. His heart finally softened, and he let go of her hands.
"Hmph! From now on, you can only belong to me!" After subduing "Xiaowang," Zhao Xiao’an said with a triumphant look on her face, "You’re mine exclusively for life, got it?"
Wang Chenning didn’t answer with words, only with a gentle response of his own.
Zhao Xiao’an didn’t refuse. In fact, she returned Wang Chenning’s gentleness with double the intensity, making him feel a warmth and bliss that was almost too much to handle.
"Stop teasing me!" Wang Chenning finally had to beg for mercy. "Good heavens, woman, whatever you say, goes! Otherwise, how am I supposed to get through the rest of the day?"
"So you mean I have to take full responsibility for this?" Zhao Xiao’an pressed herself against him. "Is that it?"
Wang Chenning’s heart began to race. "Of course that’s what I mean!"
"I knew you were thinking that, you perv!" Zhao Xiao’an huffed, giving Wang Chenning a pinch before burrowing her head under the covers...
