Chapter 190: Chapter 190: Won’t You Give It a Try?
"If you already know, then why are you asking me!" Yang Xiaofei pulled the blanket back over her face.
’Even though she was angry, she was also surprised by Wang Chenning’s sensitivity.’
’He’d actually guessed what she wanted to talk about.’
Wang Chenning once again pulled the blanket off Yang Xiaofei’s head. He naturally stroked her hair and said softly, "Luo Yuqing just told me that she wants to increase her investment in me. After hearing what happened tonight, she thinks even more highly of me. And she also said you’re more suited to be my wife!"
Yang Xiaofei’s hand, which had been about to pull the blanket back, froze in place. She stared at Wang Chenning in disbelief. "What does she mean by that?"
"I don’t know what she means. You can ask her yourself when you have time!" Wang Chenning said, playfully messing up all her long hair. Just as she was about to explode with frustration, he told her to lie down properly.
Yang Xiaofei finally stopped acting out and obediently lay down, ready to receive her treatment.
As Wang Chenning was preparing the treatment, Yang Xiaofei turned her head to the side and gave him a serious reminder. "I want to sleep. I haven’t been sleeping well these past few days. After the treatment, if you want to sleep here, take the guest room. There are clean clothes in the wardrobe. If you’re going back, just lock the door from the outside for me."
"Alright!" Wang Chenning agreed.
Shortly after the treatment began, Wang Chenning had sent Yang Xiaofei into a deep sleep.
Wang Chenning didn’t take advantage of her while she was asleep. When the treatment was over, he tucked her in, locked the bedroom door from the outside, and drove back to the university.
「The next day at noon.」
Wang Chenning was just finishing lunch when he received a call from Yang Xiaofei.
"Tonight, I’ve scheduled dinner with Li Mingyue, Li Mingchao, and their gang. You’re coming with me!" After explaining the evening’s plan, Yang Xiaofei added a reminder, "And when the time comes, don’t you dare hold back. Beat them until they feel the pain!"
"You want me to fight again?" Wang Chenning was a little speechless. "Are you really ordering me around like a husband?"
"It’s not a fight!" Yang Xiaofei, exasperated by his reaction, couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, "Do you ever miss a chance to tease me?"
"I did not!" Wang Chenning naturally denied it. "Last night, when I was treating you, you were fast asleep, unconscious, and completely at my mercy, and I didn’t even lay a finger on you!"
"Wang Chenning, are you trying to get yourself killed?!" Hearing him bring this up on the phone, Yang Xiaofei flew into a rage out of sheer embarrassment. "If you dare let anyone else know about this, I’ll kill you!"
"Tch, I try to be nice, and this is what I get!" Wang Chenning replied irritably. "Just look at how radiant your complexion is today. What kind of makeup could compare to my treatment? Not a single word of thanks, and instead you blame me. I’ll have to reconsider whether or not I should treat you next time."
"You can’t go back on your word. You have to do what you promised, or I’m telling your grandfather!" Although she was on the phone in her own office, Yang Xiaofei had completely lost her usual icy demeanor. The way she pouted was full of feminine charm.
She looked at herself in the mirror as she talked, quite pleased with her appearance today.
’That guy... his skills are really incredible. Not only did he give me a good night’s sleep, but he also made my complexion this radiant.’
Even she herself was growing more and more fond of the refined woman in the mirror, the one completely free of her usual stoic expression.
She knew full well that the man on the phone was like a drug to women. Once they came into contact with him, none of them could ever quit him.
The mere fact that he could use his medical skills to make a woman’s complexion so radiant was enough to make many women willingly place themselves at his mercy.
And she was no different.
Suddenly, a deep fear arose in Yang Xiaofei’s heart.
’If I really marry Wang Chenning one day, how will I fend off all the women who covet him?’
The thought of sharing her husband’s body and affection with other women made her feel absolutely miserable.
’Maybe it would be better to let him marry someone else, find a man I can control, and just be his lover for life?’ The thought startled Yang Xiaofei herself.
After ending the call with Wang Chenning, Yang Xiaofei stared blankly into the mirror for a long while, until her phone rang again.
「At 3:30 in the afternoon.」
Without notifying Yang Xiaofei, Wang Chenning showed up directly at her company.
Although it was only Wang Chenning’s second time at the Lingyang Group headquarters, there wasn’t a single person there, from top to bottom, who didn’t recognize him.
The moment he walked in, the lobby manager rushed forward to greet him, moving even faster than the hostesses stationed at the entrance.
The lobby manager led Wang Chenning to the private elevator that went directly to the president’s office and personally saw him inside.
As Wang Chenning walked through the lobby, the eyes of every employee followed him. After he entered the elevator, he became the sole topic of everyone’s conversation.
After exiting the private elevator, Wang Chenning didn’t have anyone announce him. Instead, he knocked directly on the door to Yang Xiaofei’s office.
"Come in!" After Yang Xiaofei’s cold, aloof voice came from inside, Wang Chenning pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the office, Yang Xiaofei was in the middle of a lecture.
Because the monthly plan had not been well-executed, the heads of several departments had been called into her office for a dressing-down.
When Wang Chenning entered, Yang Xiaofei caught sight of him. She was surprised for only a moment before continuing her lecture.
Only after she finished did she dismiss them.
As the department heads left, they merely shot Wang Chenning a curious glance without any other acknowledgment before lowering their heads and hurrying away.
"Showing up here without a word, are you trying to pull a surprise inspection on me?" Yang Xiaofei sat in her executive chair, resting her chin on her left hand and giving Wang Chenning a look that was half-smile, half-sneer. "You’ve certainly got some nerve. No one stopped you, no one announced you to me, they just let you walk right in. Acting like the supreme emperor, are we?"
Wang Chenning sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, a nonchalant look on his face. "If you don’t welcome me visiting you, just say so. There won’t be a next time."
Yang Xiaofei beckoned to Wang Chenning with her finger, signaling for him to come over.
Wang Chenning got up and walked over. He leaned forward, planting both hands on her desk, and looked down at Yang Xiaofei in her professional attire. "What are your orders, President Yang?"
"Our medical collaboration is about to be implemented. I’m prepared to give you a certain amount of shares. Or how about this: you could take a part-time position here, as a Vice President or something. What do you think?" Yang Xiaofei looked up at Wang Chenning with a faint smile on her face. "That way, you could come here openly every day!"
"Are you planning to turn your office into a bedchamber and play thrilling games here every day?" Wang Chenning reached out and lifted Yang Xiaofei’s delicate chin, grinning. "It’s true what they say, the more prim and proper a woman seems on the surface, the wilder she is underneath."
"Pervert!" Yang Xiaofei slapped his hand away and swiveled her chair to the side, showing him her profile. "If you took a part-time job here, maybe the entire Lingyang Group would be yours one day! I believe you have the ability to take both it and me. A chance to win both wealth and a beautiful woman... aren’t you going to give it a try?"
