When Wang Chenning carried the freshly bathed Zhao Xiao'an to bed, she suddenly started playing games. She wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, refusing to give him a chance to get handsy.
"You horrible man, you just want to take advantage of me!" Zhao Xiao'an said, blushing and pouting. "I'm not going to fall for your tricks so easily!"
Wang Chenning, of course, understood what she meant. If he wanted her, he'd have to make some sort of promise. In short, she needed a sign of his intentions before she'd be willing to do anything intimate with him.
"Then what do you want me to do?" Wang Chenning asked, lying down beside Zhao Xiao'an and watching her with a grin. "How about I give you a massage first? You've been exhausted these past couple of days. I can help you unwind. Don't worry, my skills are top-notch. I guarantee you'll feel completely refreshed!"
"No!" Zhao Xiao'an huffed. "What are we? We don't have a title, no official status. And you still want to take advantage of me? I'm not falling for it!"
"My future children will call you Mom. Is that good enough?" Wang Chenning chuckled, pinching Zhao Xiao'an's hot cheek.
Zhao Xiao'an's face flushed a deep crimson. Her long eyelashes trembled, and her delicate lips parted slightly. Even her slender neck was tinged with a faint blush, making her look utterly irresistible.
"You're infuriating!" Zhao Xiao'an swatted his hand away. "I'm not having your babies!"
In the instant she let go, Wang Chenning deftly pulled back the blanket. Before she could react, he had slipped under the covers with her.
Zhao Xiao'an let out a small shriek and pushed him a few times, but she soon gave up the struggle and melted into his embrace.
Wang Chenning didn't hesitate to kiss her. He then pulled out all the stops, and it wasn't long before he had completely dismantled the last of her resistance.
"I'm a little scared!" Zhao Xiao'an suddenly tensed up just as Wang Chenning was about to make his move.
In truth, she had already cast aside all her reservations when she'd decided to come over tonight.
But now that his advances were imminent, she was nervous and frightened all over again. Being in a hotel room instead of her own home seemed to strip away her sense of security.
Wang Chenning was rather surprised she was still this nervous. 'After all our intimate moments before,' he thought, 'I figured she'd be able to face this calmly by now.'
All he could do was be as patient as possible and hope she would relax.
After some effort spent soothing her, Zhao Xiao'an finally relaxed.
At the critical moment, Wang Chenning's phone, lying off to the side, began to ring tactlessly.
When he saw the caller ID showed Wu Jingyi, Wang Chenning ignored it and continued with his important business. But unexpectedly, Wu Jingyi was just as tactless; when he didn't answer the first time, she immediately called back.
"Just get the phone!" With a sudden burst of strength, Zhao Xiao'an shoved Wang Chenning off her and pulled the blanket back over herself.
Wang Chenning had no choice but to answer.
Having been interrupted at such a crucial moment, Wang Chenning was naturally in a foul mood.
However, after Wu Jingyi explained the situation, he couldn't stay angry with her.
Wu Jingyi told Wang Chenning that Pu Zhengyang was inviting him to a traditional medicine conference organized by the South Koreans for the following day.
She relayed the full message she had received from Pu Zhiyun on Pu Zhengyang's behalf.
Pu Zhengyang's plan was to compete with him at the South Korean traditional medicine conference the next day, in front of an audience of South Korea's most famous doctors.
The specifics of the competition would be discussed by both sides once they arrived at the venue.
"Our delegation was already scheduled to attend this conference tomorrow. In fact, it's the most important event on our itinerary for our visit to Seoul!" Wu Jingyi added that there would certainly be South Korean news media at the competition, and they might even arrange a live broadcast.
"We'll deal with it when we see them tomorrow, then," Wang Chenning said. He asked Wu Jingyi to handle all the preparations and to get a PowerPoint presentation ready for him, just in case.
After hanging up with Wu Jingyi, Wang Chenning pounced on Zhao Xiao'an again.
"We should do a live broadcast of your competition tomorrow, too," Zhao Xiao'an said, stopping Wang Chenning. She was completely serious. "Let me request approval from my director at the station. What do you think about us arranging a channel to broadcast your match live tomorrow?"
"Let's worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Let's finish what we started today first!" Wang Chenning had no intention of quitting halfway.
They were just one step away from the finish line; he didn't want to be bothered with anything else, no matter how important.
'It was bad enough that Wu Jingyi interrupted us,' he fumed silently. 'How can I let Zhao Xiao'an get sidetracked now!'
"Let me just ask for approval now, otherwise it'll be too late!" Zhao Xiao'an pushed Wang Chenning away, grabbed her phone, and made a call.
Wang Chenning had no choice but to let her, though his hands didn't stop their mischievous exploration.
Zhao Xiao'an pressed his hands down firmly, stopping their roaming. She pleaded with him to behave and let her arrange this important matter first.
Once the call connected, Zhao Xiao'an laid out her plan directly. She argued that the live broadcast was guaranteed to attract a huge audience and could even become a massive, cathartic display of patriotism.
Her director on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before asking, "Are you certain he can win?"
"Absolutely!" Zhao Xiao'an replied with complete confidence. "Wang Chenning's medical skills are more profound than even the top traditional medicine masters in our country. And our top masters are already a cut above the so-called famous doctors in South Korea. I'm sure he'll win, and he'll make it look easy!"
"Alright. I'll schedule a two-hour live broadcast for you, from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. If that's not enough time, we'll adjust it on the fly."
"Great, thank you, Director. I'll coordinate the details with the relevant colleagues." Without another word, Zhao Xiao'an crisply ended the call.
Wang Chenning had initially found the two phone calls to be a complete buzzkill, ruining the atmosphere he had worked so hard to create.
He never expected that after the two calls, Zhao Xiao'an would not only truly relax, but even take the initiative.
When he began to stir her passion once more, her earlier apprehension was gone. The two phone calls had unexpectedly acted as an emotional catalyst.
And so, Wang Chenning no longer held back.
After another ten minutes of building the mood, Wang Chenning sensed that the time was right.
After a passionate kiss that left Zhao Xiao'an nearly breathless, Wang Chenning whispered in her ear, "I promise to make you truly happy."
A low cry escaped from deep in Zhao Xiao'an's throat. She didn't answer his words, but simply wrapped her arms and legs tightly around him.
Wang Chenning didn't let the opportunity pass this time. With patience and experience, he slowly broke down every last one of her barriers.
The storm soon broke…
Like a sailboat cutting through stormy seas, Wang Chenning navigated the heart of the vortex. With the most beautiful movements in the world, he composed the most perfect symphony…
