Urban Genius Divine Doctor

Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Awkward Encounter

After Zhao Xiao’an had her fill of kissing him, Wang Chenning tried to get a little handsy, but she stopped him.

"Do you like me?" she asked, grabbing his hand and tilting her head with a playful look.

"There’s probably not a man in the world who wouldn’t like you, and I’m no exception!" Wang Chenning answered frankly. "When I’m with you, everything feels so natural and happy."

"Hmph!" Zhao Xiao’an pouted her pretty lips. "Then be my boyfriend!"

Zhao Xiao’an knew that a man as outstanding as Wang Chenning—one even Luo Yuqing approved of—was truly a rare find.

’I have to make the first move and not give anyone else a chance to beat me to the punch.’

’By tying Wang Chenning to my side and making him officially my boyfriend, I can fend off any other women who might have their eyes on him.’

This was the main reason she had taken the initiative to kiss him, despite having only known him for a few days.

Zhao Xiao’an wasn’t a particularly forward person; on the contrary, she was quite conservative. She definitely wouldn’t agree to taking things further so easily.

She also knew that men don’t cherish things that come too easily. She planned to use her body to keep Wang Chenning hooked, to make him stay infatuated with her.

Who would have thought that after she said that, Wang Chenning would reply, "You haven’t even properly pursued me yet. If I agree to be your boyfriend this easily, it would be far too hasty. You wouldn’t cherish something that came so easily. So, I’ll have to see how you perform before I consider it!"

Zhao Xiao’an snapped out of her shyness, her eyes widening as she stared at Wang Chenning.

Then, fuming with embarrassment, she rushed forward and unleashed a flurry of playful punches and kicks on him until he restrained her limbs and silenced her with his mouth.

In the end, she surrendered to Wang Chenning’s domineering tenderness.

After fooling around for over an hour, the two finally changed their clothes and went out.

As they left, Zhao Xiao’an took the initiative to link her arm with Wang Chenning’s, then shooed him into the driver’s seat.

"How about I let you drive my car, and you can pick me up and drop me off for work?" Zhao Xiao’an said smugly after settling into the passenger seat. "I really hate driving!"

Wang Chenning rejected the offer without a second thought. "That’s asking too much of me. I live at the university, which is so far from your place and your work. Are you trying to work me to death?!"

"That’s true. Then forget it!" Zhao Xiao’an had regretted the words the moment they left her mouth, so she didn’t press the issue. Instead, she brought up the program she had wanted to collaborate on with Wang Chenning.

The two chatted about these things all the way to the Forbidden City.

Zhao Xiao’an was clearly no ordinary person. After making two phone calls, she directed Wang Chenning to drive directly into a parking lot that wasn’t open to the public.

Then, led by a staff member, they entered through an employee-only entrance.

The Forbidden City after a snowfall was breathtakingly beautiful, and naturally, it was teeming with tourists.

Zhao Xiao’an chose a few areas inaccessible to ordinary tourists to explore, and she frolicked happily in the snow.

Wang Chenning used the camera and video camera she had prepared to take endless pictures of her.

And it had to be said, the famous host Zhao Xiao’an was incredibly photogenic even without makeup. Coupled with her excellent mood today, her face looked stunning in every shot, no matter the angle.

Her brilliant smile, in particular, was enough to make one’s heart skip a beat, whether seeing it in person or in a photograph.

Zhao Xiao’an also pulled Wang Chenning in for many photos together, and when she got excited, she even packed snowballs to throw at him.

It had been a long time since Wang Chenning had played with such abandon. Since Zhao Xiao’an was so unrestrained, he didn’t hold back either.

But just as they were having the time of their lives, two women suddenly appeared before them.

When she got a clear look at the two women who had walked up to them, Zhao Xiao’an was startled. "Mom? Auntie? What are you two doing here?"

The slightly older woman in the blue down trench coat was Zhao Xiao’an’s mother, Luo Yaqian, and the one in white was Luo Yuqing, whom he hadn’t seen in several days.

"Hello, Auntie. Hello, Auntie!" Wang Chenning was naturally surprised as well, but he only paused for a moment before stepping forward to greet them and introduce himself. "Ma’am, I’m Wang Chenning. I’m a doctor and currently a teacher at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

"Hello!" Luo Yaqian extended a hand to Wang Chenning. "I saw the report from Xiao’an’s interview with you, and I’ve also heard about you from Yuqing. It’s incredible that you’re so medically skilled at such a young age—hired as a professor at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, a chief physician at the First Affiliated Hospital, and the director of the TCM acupuncture department. Truly remarkable."

"You flatter me, Ma’am!" Wang Chenning replied with a smile. "It was just a series of fortunate coincidences, nothing worth mentioning."

"You’re too modest!" Luo Yaqian was all smiles. After sizing up Wang Chenning for a moment, she turned to Luo Yuqing with a laugh. "Yuqing, you were right. Chenning is truly no ordinary young man. He lacks the restlessness and arrogance of youth, and he has a distinctive bearing. He lives up to your praise!"

Luo Yuqing walked up to Wang Chenning and asked, a hint of teasing in her voice, "You don’t mind our sudden appearance, do you?"

"I haven’t seen you in a while, Auntie. Seeing you today, you’ve gotten even more beautiful," Wang Chenning said, looking at Luo Yuqing with a chuckle. "You must be here to see me about something, right?"

"Mom, Auntie, what are you two doing here?" Zhao Xiao’an, having recovered from her shock, asked with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance. "Don’t you have work today?"

"Strolling through the Forbidden City on a snowy day is a wonderful thing. No matter how busy you are, you have to put down your work and steal a moment of leisure," Luo Yuqing said, turning to Wang Chenning. "Don’t you agree, Dr. Wang?"

"Of course. It’s essential to balance work and rest in life." Wang Chenning nodded. "And you can’t miss out on beautiful scenery!"

Luo Yuqing rolled her eyes at him, looking annoyed.

With the sudden appearance of Luo Yaqian and Luo Yuqing, the snowy day’s romance inevitably came to an end.

Zhao Xiao’an was also an exceptionally clever person and knew what it meant for her mother and aunt to appear together. After they took a few more photos, she pretended to have just remembered something and said to Wang Chenning, "Didn’t you say you had a consultation with a patient this afternoon? It’s getting late, maybe you should head over early so the patient’s family doesn’t get anxious!"

"Alright, you all have fun then!" Wang Chenning naturally understood Zhao Xiao’an’s meaning and took the opportunity to take his leave.

"How about I give you a ride?" Luo Yuqing offered.

But Wang Chenning declined.

However, Luo Yuqing still walked with him for a short distance.

"Treat me to dinner tomorrow night. We can discuss the things we talked about, and then you can check my health. My ’relative’ is visiting, and I’m feeling all kinds of discomfort. That should be a piece of cake for you, right?"

"I’m not sure if I’m busy tomorrow. Let’s be in touch then," Wang Chenning answered noncommittally.

Luo Yuqing agreed.

As Luo Yuqing walked Wang Chenning off, Luo Yaqian was telling Zhao Xiao’an her impression of him.

"Girlie, you have good taste. Wang Chenning is truly outstanding, a perfect match for you!"

Zhao Xiao’an kept her head down, kicking at the snow with her foot, and said unhappily, "Just say everything you want to say."

"But have you thought about it? Can you hold on to him?" Luo Yaqian said softly. "To be so accomplished in medicine at such a young age... his achievements are beyond compare. There will surely be many people seeking him out, and he will quickly build an impressive network and resources. Plus, he’s very handsome. You should know, a man like that will have many women coveting him."

After a pause, she added gently, "And he’s also Yang Xiaofei’s fiancé. They have a marriage agreement!"
