Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Bai Qianxun’s Instigation
Zhao Xiao’an didn’t go back with her parents. After leaving the Zhao family estate, she went straight to find Wang Chenning and Luo Yuqing.
By the time she arrived, Wang Chenning had already left Luo Yuqing’s place and returned to his apartment at the university.
When she heard that Wang Chenning was preparing to treat Wu Ziyue, Zhao Xiao’an immediately said she had come over to see how he did it and would treat him to a late-night snack afterward.
"You must be hungry after a treatment session. How about I treat you to a late-night snack?"
"Alright!" Wang Chenning knew Zhao Xiao’an had something she wanted to talk to him about, so he didn’t refuse.
By the time Zhao Xiao’an arrived, Wang Chenning was already in the middle of treating Wu Ziyue.
Before the treatment, Wu Ziyue told him to hold off on arranging treatments for her comrades until the weather was warmer. They still had missions to attend to.
"Just make the arrangements yourself, but don’t pick a time when I’m not in Yandu." Wang Chenning then told her he would be going abroad next month.
"Maybe when you go abroad, I’ll be abroad too," Wu Ziyue said softly. "I might even need your help!"
"Sure," Wang Chenning said. He understood what she was implying but didn’t press for details.
He hadn’t told Wu Ziyue that Zhao Xiao’an was coming over, so Wu Ziyue accepted the treatment as she always did—in the most open and unreserved manner.
After Wang Chenning’s treatments, her body had undergone a change akin to a rebirth.
Now, Wu Ziyue was extremely proud of her appearance and figure.
She had grown accustomed to being exposed in front of Wang Chenning, feeling not the slightest bit of embarrassment.
And as their sessions continued, the shift in her feelings for him became more and more apparent.
As Wang Chenning examined her before the treatment, she asked in a low voice, "Am I pretty?"
She actually wanted to ask if he thought she had a good body, but that would have sounded too provocative. So she only asked if he thought she was pretty.
"Of course you are." Fortunately, he had already let off some steam with Luo Yuqing. Facing a completely open Wu Ziyue, Wang Chenning was able to keep his heart as calm as still water.
He had to admit, though, that Wu Ziyue’s physique was far better than average.
Her body wasn’t just well-proportioned; it was toned and athletic.
Years of high-intensity training had given her a touch of androgynous beauty.
This touch of androgyny made her all the more captivating.
Wang Chenning was also well aware that Wu Ziyue’s flexibility was far beyond that of an ordinary person.
’She could probably pull off positions most people couldn’t even dream of.’
He could only sigh inwardly at the thought. ’Whatever man ends up with her will be one lucky bastard.’
He also knew that any man who ended up with a formidable woman like Wu Ziyue would need a strong heart and a high pain tolerance, or his life would be miserable.
After Zhao Xiao’an arrived, she didn’t go in to watch Wang Chenning treat Wu Ziyue.
She said a quick hello and then sat on the sofa, scrolling through her phone.
She could still feel the ripples from the post she’d made on her social media feed tonight.
A lot of people had left comments, and quite a few had sent her private messages as well.
Among them was a message from Li Mingchao.
"Wang Chenning went to treat your grandfather?"
Zhao Xiao’an replied, "Yes, he’s my grandfather’s personal physician now! Even Grandpa admits that no one’s medical skills are better than his!"
"My grandfather wants Wang Chenning to give him another tune-up, too. Our family is willing to pay a handsome fee! How about you ask him for me if he’d be willing?"
"I’m not asking for you!" Zhao Xiao’an refused, deliberately prodding him. "Don’t tell me you’re still scared of him after that beating he gave you."
Li Mingchao flew into a humiliated rage. He wished he could climb through the internet, slap Zhao Xiao’an a couple of times, and then stab Wang Chenning for good measure.
But he didn’t dare lash out, so he could only reply sheepishly, "I was just worried he’d still be holding a grudge about that unpleasantness at my grandfather’s birthday banquet!"
That just made Zhao Xiao’an even angrier. "Then go ask Yang Xiaofei! She’s the one who brought him there that day!"
Li Mingchao didn’t dare press Zhao Xiao’an any further. He actually sent a message to Yang Xiaofei, asking for her help.
Yang Xiaofei, for her part, didn’t refuse. "Treat us to dinner tomorrow, and you can ask him about it in person."
"Deal!" Li Mingchao was overjoyed. "Then I’ll treat you both to dinner tomorrow night."
When Wang Chenning finished the treatment, he saw the message from Yang Xiaofei.
"We’ll see tomorrow. If nothing comes up, I’ll have dinner with him," he replied, giving a noncommittal answer.
Yang Xiaofei immediately sent another message: "It’s been a while since you came over for my treatment. Why not come over tonight?"
"Inviting a man over after ten at night? Aren’t you afraid something might happen?"
But Yang Xiaofei feigned indifference. "Didn’t you say you find me repulsive and have no interest in me? What do I have to be afraid of?"
"Some other time. I’m out of energy for today," Wang Chenning refused, not falling for her bait. "I’ve already treated three people tonight. Any more and I’ll probably be so tired I’ll cough up blood."
Yang Xiaofei got angry and stopped replying.
When Yang Xiaofei ignored his teasing and went silent, Wang Chenning felt a pang of disappointment.
After cleaning up, Wang Chenning finally called Zhao Xiao’an over to go get their late-night snack.
"How about you take me to see your club?" Zhao Xiao’an asked, smiling at Wang Chenning. "Your President Zheng is a national treasure, not to mention incredibly capable. I need to get on her good side. Otherwise, she might not even give me a discount next time I want to come by."
"Alright," Wang Chenning agreed.
Just as they got into the car, Wang Chenning got a call from Zheng Qiuhang.
"Brother Ning, a rich kid named Bai Qianxun just showed up at Li Garden Hall. He brought a huge group with him, and they’re all acting really arrogant. I’m afraid they’re here to cause trouble again!"
"Bai Qianxun?!" Wang Chenning paused for a second, then chuckled. "Eldest Young Master Bai actually came all the way to our place to hang out? In that case, I have to go over and have a couple of drinks with him personally."
Zheng Qiuhang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Wang Chenning was coming.
When Wang Chenning walked into the club with Zhao Xiao’an, Zheng Qiuhang immediately came forward to greet them.
She knew, of course, that Wang Chenning’s relationship with Zhao Xiao’an was even closer than his relationship with Yang Xiaofei, so she didn’t dare show any disrespect, greeting them with utmost deference.
Wang Chenning told Zheng Qiuhang to go back to her duties; he would go see Bai Qianxun himself.
As Wang Chenning led Zhao Xiao’an into the "Qingqiu Pavilion" that Bai Qianxun’s group had booked, Bai Qianxun was in the middle of scolding one of his lackeys.
The lackey, another rich kid, was complaining that the servers Li Garden Hall had assigned to them weren’t pretty enough and that their service wasn’t enthusiastic enough.
When a server tried to explain, the guy flew into a rage and threatened to tear Qingqiu Pavilion down.
When Bai Qianxun saw this, he immediately started berating his crony.
Wang Chenning and Zhao Xiao’an happened to walk in just as he was laying into his crony.
Bai Qianxun froze for a second when he saw Wang Chenning and Zhao Xiao’an enter, but he immediately walked over to greet them.
"Well, this is a surprise!" Bai Qianxun said cheerfully as he walked up to them. "Xiao’an, I’m really jealous of Chenning, always surrounded by beautiful women. The other day, he showed up at Old Master Li’s birthday banquet as Yang Xiaofei’s fiancé, and today he’s here with us as your boyfriend. All I can do is envy him!"
Bai Qianxun’s words instantly silenced the private room...
