Chapter 55: Chapter 55: This Shock Is Too Great

Luo Yaqian’s words struck Zhao Xiao’an like a bolt from the blue, leaving her utterly stunned.

Zhao Xiao’an, of course, knew Yang Xiaofei was engaged. She’d known Yang Xiaofei had a fiancé ever since their school days.

Zhao Xiao’an and Yang Xiaofei were the same age and were even classmates in both middle school and high school. Both were beautiful, came from good families, and had great figures, so they were always the center of attention for the boys—the talk of the school.

In high school, when romantic feelings first started to bloom for boys and girls, close friends would naturally share secrets with each other.

Yang Xiaofei had been deeply troubled by the burden of her engagement. Back then, Zhao Xiao’an had even looked down on her for it, saying things like, ’What century are we living in? How can you still entrust your lifelong happiness to your elders’ choices?’

You should date who you want, choose your own husband, and enjoy your own happiness—that was what Zhao Xiao’an had believed, and she had strongly urged Yang Xiaofei to break off the engagement.

’Imagine spending the rest of your life with someone you don’t know and don’t even like. How dull would that be?’

’A woman as outstanding as Yang Xiaofei would never have to worry about finding a husband.’

’There are countless sons of Yandu’s elite families who would line up to pursue her.’

After learning that Yang Xiaofei’s fiancé wasn’t even from Yanjing, Zhao Xiao’an had passionately told her that if she were in her shoes, she would rather run away from home than honor the engagement.

But she never in her wildest dreams imagined that the other party to the engagement that had bothered Yang Xiaofei so much was actually Wang Chenning.

She was completely dumbfounded.

Luo Yaqian wasn’t surprised by Zhao Xiao’an’s change in expression. She glanced at her daughter and continued, "From what I’ve heard, everyone in the Yang family, aside from Elder Yang himself, is against this engagement. Yang Xiaofei doesn’t approve of it either. You two were classmates, so I’m sure you know a little about it. The Wang family, on the other hand, is very eager for this marriage to happen. Wang Chenning probably came to Yanjing specifically to fulfill the engagement. The Li family wants to marry Yang Xiaofei to create a powerhouse alliance, so Li Mingchao’s conflict with Wang Chenning most likely stems from all this."

After a pause, Luo Yaqian asked Zhao Xiao’an, "Has he ever mentioned the engagement with Yang Xiaofei to you?"

"No!" Zhao Xiao’an shook her head numbly. Wang Chenning hadn’t said a single word about it.

But she knew that Wang Chenning had saved Yang Liansheng’s life.

’Setting everything else aside, that one act alone would be enough to change the Yang family’s attitude toward him.’

Zhao Xiao’an suspected that the Yang family’s secret support was the real reason Wang Chenning had gained the upper hand against Li Mingchao and acquired the Li Garden Hall.

’He must like Yang Xiaofei. After all, she’s gorgeous, has a great figure, and comes from such a prominent family. Her grandfather even entrusted her with managing the family’s affairs. If he marries her, he’ll be set for life and can just coast.’

’Countless men are pursuing her. Even I, a woman, admire her.’

’But then why is he so good to me?’

’He even kissed me today... kissed me so passionately I almost gave myself to him completely.’

"From what I’ve observed, he’s truly outstanding in every way. But because he’s so exceptional, he’s also very proud. He’s also an ambitious man. His trip to Yandu isn’t just to fulfill the engagement; he wants to establish a foothold here. Your aunt wanted to cooperate with him, but he didn’t agree right away, likely because he wants to secure more benefits and expand his connections. He’s the kind of man who can accomplish great things—calm, composed, and unshakeable in the face of trouble. From an objective standpoint, describing him as a man of exceptional caliber wouldn’t be an exaggeration."

Luo Yaqian sighed as she spoke. "This is everything I know for now, and I’ve told you all of it. You need to think carefully before you decide what to do. Don’t ask him or Yang Xiaofei about any of this unless they bring it up first. You’re a smart girl. I know you can make the most rational decision."

"Mom, I understand." Zhao Xiao’an’s mood plummeted from the clouds to the abyss, her heart filled with bitterness.

If it weren’t for the engagement, she could have ignored all of her mother’s worries.

She didn’t consider herself some airhead with a pretty face. Under the influence of her shrewd mother and aunt, her ability to handle situations was far beyond that of an ordinary person.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have become one of the network’s top hosts—their star presenter—in less than two years on the job.

There was no shortage of beautiful and talented women at the central television station, many with powerful backers, but few had achieved as much as she had.

Relationships with men were complicated, but Zhao Xiao’an wasn’t afraid.

’Worst case, we could have a passionate, whirlwind romance and then break up. It would just be another part of my youth to look back on with no regrets.’

’Sigh... why does he have to have a fiancée?’ she thought. ’If I get involved now, wouldn’t that make me the other woman?’

"Someone like him would actually be a good match for your aunt!" Luo Yaqian said with a chuckle. "A schemer against a schemer. He might even be able to tame our family’s little vixen!"

"Mom, I get it!" Zhao Xiao’an didn’t want to hear any more about it. "Since we’re already here at the Forbidden City, and it’s rare to see it in the snow, let’s just enjoy ourselves a little longer!"

"Alright!"

After Wang Chenning left, he went to find Yang Xiaofu.

It was already four in the afternoon by the time he arrived at her place.

After checking the injury on her foot, Wang Chenning smiled. "You know, it would be fine even without more treatment. You’ve pretty much recovered!"

"You have to treat it!" Yang Xiaofu huffed coquettishly. "It still feels uncomfortable. You need to get me back to normal!"

"Fine, fine!" Wang Chenning could only concede.

"Then I’ll go take a shower first!" Yang Xiaofu said with a giggle. "After the treatment, I’ll take you out for a big meal!"

"You haven’t even broken a sweat, so don’t bother with a shower. Today’s treatment is pretty simple," Wang Chenning said, stopping her.

He had no idea what this woman would be wearing after a shower. The two previous ambiguous situations after her showers left him with a lingering sense of dread.

’If my self-control were even a little weaker, something major would definitely happen.’

Besides, after the intimate moments he’d shared with Zhao Xiao’an, he didn’t want to have another similar encounter with Yang Xiaofu on the same day.

"Alright then!" Yang Xiaofu finally agreed.

Wang Chenning treated Yang Xiaofu’s sprained ankle again, then performed acupuncture on several points on her chest and abdomen.

To Wang Chenning’s surprise, Yang Xiaofu was wearing a pair of see-through panties today. He could vaguely make them out after he pulled down her long johns.

Moreover, while he was applying the needles to her chest and abdomen, Wang Chenning could feel her deliberately trying to draw his gaze to her breasts.

Her breathing was a bit ragged, and the rise and fall of her chest was quite pronounced, which made his mind start to wander.

Wang Chenning couldn’t help but wonder, ’Is this woman deliberately trying to seduce me, or is she testing me on behalf of Yang Xiaofei?’

In the end, Wang Chenning applied needles to a few other points, causing her to fall asleep.

’This solves the problem once and for all. Now she won’t know what I’m doing.’

After putting Yang Xiaofu to sleep, Wang Chenning gave her a proper treatment.

During the treatment, he discovered that the lingerie she was wearing underneath was incredibly sexy. She had clearly dressed this way just to seduce him.

As a form of revenge, Wang Chenning picked up an eyebrow pencil and wrote a line of words both above and below her navel: "Wang Chenning was here!"
