Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: A Poetic Romance

Wang Chenning didn’t know if Yang Xiaofu was being intentionally provocative or if she genuinely had feelings for him.

But all he could do was play the part of a perfect gentleman, a man of unwavering self-control.

After a few stern words of reprimand for Yang Xiaofu, Wang Chenning began her acupuncture treatment.

Wang Chenning was actually quite grateful he was born into a family of traditional medicine practitioners and that he had mastered the art of acupuncture.

Otherwise, he would never have had the chance to be with Yang Xiaofu like this, nor would he have ever had such intimate contact with an aloof goddess like Yang Xiaofei.

’Although he wouldn’t have any inappropriate thoughts while practicing medicine, in the midst of it all, he still had the kind of urges any man would have.’

’I can’t make a move on her openly, but just appreciating the view isn’t a crime, is it?’

’Besides, I can use this opportunity of helping her achieve perfection to make a few assessments.’

Yang Xiaofu was clearly unsatisfied with Wang Chenning’s lack of cooperation. As he administered the acupuncture treatment, she muttered incessantly.

"If anyone found out I’m often like this in front of you, my reputation would be ruined. How would I ever get married? No one would believe I’m still a virgin, would they?"

"Then what do you want me to do?" Wang Chenning retorted. "Marry you? Or take you as a concubine?"

"In your dreams!" Yang Xiaofu said with a look of disdain. "I would never marry a man like you who’s always taking advantage of women!"

"Fine, then I won’t give you any more treatments!"

"You’d be a dog if you went back on your word!" Yang Xiaofu huffed disdainfully. "A real man has to do what he promises!"

Wang Chenning decided to just ignore her.

After a brief moment of silence, Yang Xiaofu asked in a low voice, "Brother-in-law, have you ever thought about ravishing your little sister-in-law?"

"You have a gorgeous beauty like me lying right in front of you. Aren’t you tempted at all?"

"You’ve left me completely drained of energy. If you were to do something naughty, I might not even have the strength to resist, you know. I couldn’t even scream for help!"

"Shut up!" Wang Chenning snapped, his anger flaring. "There’s a limit to this teasing! If you break my concentration, I could accidentally paralyze you with a needle. Would that make you happy?"

Yang Xiaofu was so startled she immediately shut her mouth.

Fearing she would cause more trouble, Wang Chenning simply applied a needle to an acupoint that would induce sleep, sending her off to dreamland.

After finishing his work, Wang Chenning still took a moment to admire her figure.

As he covered her with a blanket, Wang Chenning sighed to himself. ’She really is quite perfect. I wonder which lucky guy will end up with her.’

After returning to his apartment and taking a shower, Wang Chenning went to the school gate to wait for Zhao Xiao’an.

At the school gate, he spotted a few suspicious individuals.

The men, who looked like Li Mingchao’s cronies, immediately pulled up their face masks and tugged their hat brims low the moment they saw Wang Chenning looking at them, then scurried away.

Wang Chenning sent a text to Li Mingchao: "Eldest Young Master Li, if I catch you pulling any more tricks, you won’t be getting tomorrow’s medicine!"

By tomorrow night, it would be seventy-two hours since Li Mingchao had taken the first dose of the antidote.

Li Mingchao replied immediately, insisting he wasn’t pulling any stunts and was just recovering quietly at home. He told Wang Chenning not to jump to conclusions.

He said he wanted to treat Wang Chenning to a lavish dinner the next evening to talk things over and prevent future misunderstandings.

"Actions speak louder than words," Wang Chenning replied, rejecting the dinner invitation. He added another reminder: "I’m a very petty person, and I never come out on the losing end."

"I just hope we can be friends!" Though Li Mingchao was seething with rage, his message was dripping with sincerity.

Wang Chenning didn’t reply.

Around four-thirty, he finally spotted Zhao Xiao’an’s car through the swirling snow.

"It’s so hard to drive in the snow! What’s normally a twenty-minute drive took me a full forty minutes!" Zhao Xiao’an complained as soon as Wang Chenning got in. "The car kept skidding, and I almost hit someone a few times. Good thing I’ve got quick reflexes, or we’d be waiting for the cops and the insurance adjustor to show up right now!"

Wang Chenning said, a bit sheepishly, "Why don’t I drive then? You can take a break."

"I was waiting for you to say that!" Zhao Xiao’an flashed a sweet smile, wasted no time in moving to the passenger seat, and buckled her seatbelt.

The heat was on in the car, so Zhao Xiao’an took off her down jacket. Her tight-fitting sweater underneath outlined a truly striking figure.

With the seatbelt pulled taut across her chest, Wang Chenning found his gaze drawn to her prominent curves every time he glanced at the passenger-side mirror.

The temptation he’d just faced with Yang Xiaofu hadn’t fully dissipated, and emotions he could normally keep in check now threatened to erupt.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiao’an didn’t seem to notice a thing.

"I’ve been swamped these last two days!" Zhao Xiao’an said, smiling at Wang Chenning. "There’s been so much to do, but it’s also been incredibly rewarding. I’ve finished writing up the two show proposals I told you about. I’ll walk you through the details in a bit. I’m hoping we can have them produced by mid-March."

Wang Chenning smiled and agreed. "Just tell me what you need me to do. I’ll cooperate fully!"

"Oh? So agreeable?"

"It’s because you’re beautiful!"

"You’re teasing me again!" Zhao Xiao’an rolled her eyes at him. "I’m not that pretty, and my figure isn’t anything special!"

"Well, in my eyes, you’re gorgeous, and your figure is incredible," Wang Chenning praised, completely deadpan. "If I ever find any imperfections, or if there’s anything you feel is imperfect, I’ll find a way to make you perfect!"

Zhao Xiao’an’s face lit up with surprise. "For real?"

"You’re still doubting my medical skills?"

"Okay! When I have some free time, I’ll come to you for a treatment!" Too embarrassed to continue the topic, Zhao Xiao’an quickly changed the subject. "Luo Yuqing told me you had another run-in with Li Mingchao a couple of nights ago?"

"Even you guys know about that?" Wang Chenning asked, a little surprised.

"Luo Yuqing said Li Mingchao suffered a huge loss and even gave you the Li Garden Hall. Is it true?"

"When did she tell you that?"

"Just an hour ago!" Surprise filled Zhao Xiao’an’s eyes. "She said she was floored when she found out. You two had such a huge clash, and in the end, he was the one to back down to you? And apparently, no one was helping you. How did you manage that?"

"I fed him poison. I have the antidote."

"What?!" Zhao Xiao’an’s face went pale. "You can do that?"

Wang Chenning just smiled, a hint of smugness in his expression.

"Aren’t you afraid of retaliation from the Li family? Li Mingchao and his father, Li Weizhang, will never let this go," Zhao Xiao’an sighed. "Luo Yuqing said that when Li Jian’an found out, he smashed one of his favorite decorative pieces. You have to be careful. Luo Yuqing is the one who started this whole mess, so if anything happens, just drag her into it!"

"None of you have ever told me what kind of family the Zhao family is, or why everyone’s so afraid of Luo Yuqing." Wang Chenning glanced at Zhao Xiao’an. "How about you tell me about it in a little while?"

Zhao Xiao’an suddenly looked uncomfortable. "How about... we talk about that some other time? Or, you could let Luo Yuqing tell you herself!"

"Alright," Wang Chenning didn’t press the issue. "Today is for romance, not for buzzkill topics."

"Who said anything about being romantic with you!" Zhao Xiao’an retorted, a little flustered. "Aren’t we just getting dinner and watching the snow?"

Wang Chenning just smiled and didn’t reply.

Neither of them could have predicted that something would happen that night that they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
