Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Alright, I’ll Cooperate With You
Yang Xiaofei was about to cry out and struggle, but Wang Chenning helped her wrap her nightgown tighter around her. He then massaged her calf a few more times through the fabric.
An indescribably pleasant sensation spread from the massaged area, and Yang Xiaofei’s body couldn’t help but tremble a few more times.
Opening her eyes, she saw Wang Chenning looking at her with a mischievous grin, his hands kneading her calves. Yang Xiaofei was suddenly mortified.
’He’s touched me over and over, but I haven’t kicked him away. Instead, I’m just lying here, looking like I’m enjoying it. This is so humiliating!’
Yang Xiaofei felt she could never face Wang Chenning again. She thought about the cold facade she had maintained before and once again wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. The image she had painstakingly built over so many years had come crashing down after just one or two of Wang Chenning’s treatments.
"If you want your legs to become even more perfect and stay problem-free, just come find me from now on." After letting go of Yang Xiaofei’s legs, Wang Chenning said with a smile, "Knowing a friend like me, with my miraculous medical skills, will make your whole life more perfect."
Yang Xiaofei opened her eyes and looked at Wang Chenning. She wanted to say something, but the words wouldn’t come out.
Wang Chenning didn’t say any more, preparing to start the next part of the treatment.
However, while taking Yang Xiaofei’s pulse, he asked another question: "Are you about to get your period?"
Yang Xiaofei’s face instantly turned red again. She opened her eyes and shot Wang Chenning a slightly irritated look. "Why are you so concerned about that?"
"If I’m not mistaken, you’re already feeling a heaviness in your lower back, soreness in your legs, and some tenderness in your chest. You have all sorts of uncomfortable symptoms. It’ll be even more uncomfortable when your period actually starts!" Wang Chenning said very seriously.
"You sure seem to know a lot about women!" Yang Xiaofei’s face was flushed, but she wore a cold sneer. "Is this your usual method for hitting on women?"
"What’s it to you? It’s not like we’re anything to each other!" Wang Chenning ignored Yang Xiaofei’s anger and laughed. "Alright, fine, I’m a ’friend to all women,’ specializing in relieving all kinds of troubles for both unmarried and married ladies. Are you satisfied now?"
Yang Xiaofei rolled her eyes dramatically.
"Alright, since I’m treating you, I’ll naturally eliminate all your body’s uncomfortable symptoms!" Wang Chenning stopped teasing Yang Xiaofei. "You trusted me so much today, not even arranging for anyone to be with you during the treatment. I can’t betray that trust."
"I trust you!" Yang Xiaofei immediately flattered him. "I know you’re a perfect gentleman."
Wang Chenning didn’t waste any more words and began the acupuncture treatment directly.
After Wang Chenning began the treatment, she completely relaxed.
As the acupuncture began and a current of qi flowed through her body, she felt an indescribable comfort and completely let go of her guard against Wang Chenning. The physical desires she had deliberately suppressed also seemed to be awakening.
She yearned for Wang Chenning to make a further move. Although the thought was shameful, it was undeniably real.
Therefore, she didn’t resist Wang Chenning’s deliberate little flirtations.
When Wang Chenning’s hand brushed past her chest, she even let out a soft moan.
However, Wang Chenning made no further moves. After the acupuncture was finished, he began to pack up his tools.
"If you feel really uncomfortable in the next couple of days, you can tell me. If you need more conditioning, I’ll come over and help you again."
Yang Xiaofei nodded without saying anything.
’I know that if I keep asking him for acupuncture treatments, something is bound to happen, but I can’t bring myself to refuse.’
As Wang Chenning finished packing his tools and was about to leave, she suddenly sat up.
"Did you deliberately use some kind of trick to make me lower my guard completely?"
She was afraid Wang Chenning would look down on her and think she was a frivolous person, so she deliberately asked this question.
"Of course I could make you lose your guard completely. I could even use acupuncture to make you do something proactively." Wang Chenning looked at Yang Xiaofei with a calm expression. "But I’m a doctor with professional ethics, and I’m never worried about finding a girlfriend. I’m this good-looking, I possess such exquisite medical skills, and I’m not short on cash. So, if I wanted to, I wouldn’t lack for women. I have absolutely no need to resort to such tricks."
Yang Xiaofei fell silent.
After a moment, hugging her knees, she called out softly, "Wang Chenning!"
"What is it?"
"I hope we can stop thinking about the marriage contract for now and just get to know each other as friends, okay?" Yang Xiaofei looked at Wang Chenning very seriously. "If we grow to like each other as we date, then we can continue with the engagement. If we don’t end up liking each other, or if one of us falls for someone else, then the engagement is void. Is that okay?"
Wang Chenning was very surprised by Yang Xiaofei’s directness and audacity. ’This woman’s personality is so complex,’ he thought. ’I have no idea what kind of person she really is!’
Yang Xiaofei bit her lip and continued, "Besides, we can cooperate in many ways. Before you came to Yandu, your grandfather already spoke to me about this! If you’re willing, I can help you establish a pharmaceutical company. I’ll take full responsibility for producing your research results and for subsequent research. All profits will be yours!"
Wang Chenning looked astonished. "Meaning, you’ll help me set up and run this company for no compensation, you won’t take a single cent of the profits, and you’ll even cover a lot of the costs out of your own pocket?"
Yang Xiaofei didn’t deny it. "Are you willing?"
"This is too good to be true," Wang Chenning said with a laugh. "Just be honest. What’s your ultimate goal?"
"Cooperation always involves the pursuit of benefits," Yang Xiaofei said, her expression turning blank again. "Many investments require you to put up money at the beginning before they turn a profit later. And some investments aren’t looking for monetary gains."
"So, President Yang is playing a very big game of chess."
"Give me a straight answer!" Yang Xiaofei struggled to maintain her composure. "Are you willing to cooperate or not!"
"If I say no, are you not going to let me leave today?" Wang Chenning joked. "Are you going to imprison me long-term and force me to agree?"
Yang Xiaofei gave him a cute eye-roll and replied grumpily, "That’s right! If you don’t agree, I won’t let you leave!"
"Oh, right. Didn’t you say you brought me a gift from Europe? Where is it?"
Wang Chenning was deliberately changing the subject, and Yang Xiaofei was naturally very angry.
However, she still got up from the bed, threw a trench coat over her nightgown, and retrieved the gift for Wang Chenning.
Yang Xiaofei’s gift to Wang Chenning was a Vacheron Constantin TRADITIONNELLE. The domestic counter price was around 670,000 yuan. The price wasn’t exorbitant, but the watch was exquisitely crafted and suited Wang Chenning’s temperament perfectly.
"Alright, seeing as you gave me such a good-looking watch and have been acting rather cute today, I’ll agree to cooperate with you!" Wang Chenning reached out and pinched Yang Xiaofei’s cheek, saying with a chuckle, "If I refused such a precious gift from such a beautiful girl, that would be just too cruel!"
SLAP! Yang Xiaofei knocked Wang Chenning’s hand away from her face and said sternly, "Until I’ve decided to accept you, you are not allowed to get handsy with me!"
Wang Chenning held up his hands. "But I only agreed to cooperate with you. I didn’t agree to be your fiancé!"
"..." Yang Xiaofei’s flushed, pretty face turned cold again.
"If you want me to be your fiancé, you can’t expect it to happen with just a few words. You have to show some proper sincerity, right? It’s said that for a girl to chase a boy, there’s only a thin sheet of paper between them, but at least you have to be the one to poke a hole in it!" Wang Chenning spread his hands, a teasing look on his face. "I’ll give you a chance. For the next little while, you can use every trick in the book to pursue me. If you can move me, then I’ll agree!"
Yang Xiaofei really wanted to take a knife to Wang Chenning’s smug face, but in the end, she just ground out through clenched teeth, "Are you sure?"
"I’m sure!"
"Good!"
