Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife

Chen Xiao didn’t deny it. He simply nodded and said, "She got drunk, and Qin Lan asked me to pick her up."

"So, you just left me here alone?" Zhang Yaqing, playing the drama queen, let tears well up in her eyes.

This left Chen Xiao feeling helpless. These women... why are they all the same? In the end, he could only use the same method on Zhang Yaqing that he’d used on Luo Qingli: silencing her before she could speak any further.

If Luo Qingli was beauty and Qin Lan was lush sensuality, then Zhang Yaqing was an absolute succubus. She was the epitome of seduction, a poppy flower that men found utterly irresistible.

Afterward, Chen Xiao lit a cigarette. These two women... they’re lethal. If it weren’t for his Celestial Yang Body, which made his abilities far beyond those of a normal man, he truly might not have withstood their combined assault. Adding Qin Lan to the mix... the very thought sent a shiver down his spine. No wonder ancient emperors died so young.

Zhang Yaqing lay in his arms, silently feeling his heartbeat. She gritted her teeth. "You really are a scumbag, clear as day!"

Chen Xiao chuckled. "And who was it, I wonder, who took the initiative to seduce me while I was still married to Qingli? Now you’re calling me a scumbag?"

Zhang Yaqing narrowed her eyes. At first, she’d only been driven by a petty desire to compete with Luo Qingli. She had just meant to tease Chen Xiao, never expecting to be the one who would fall so deep. But emotions are uncontrollable, aren’t they?

As the heir of the Zhang Family, she dared not claim to have wealth that could rival nations, but with the foundation of her family behind her, she had no need to use her body to trade for anything. Of course she would choose a man she actually liked.

Having spent so much time in high society, she had seen all sorts of sordid affairs. Most men were creatures who thought with their loins, possessing disgustingly low morals. Chen Xiao, on the other hand, while promiscuous, was passionate and loyal—a man with principles and true masculinity. He had stormed into her heart like a wild stallion, leaving her powerless to resist. What could she do? Life is short; seize pleasure while you can and leave no regrets!

Chen Xiao changed the subject. "A moment ago, I overheard from outside that there’s a banquet tonight. What’s that about? Are you planning to go?"

"Yes, there’s a medical exchange conference today, hosted by the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese Medicine Community," Zhang Yaqing said. "And William Dodge will be attending as a guest. For years, our domestic Chinese Medicine Community has been severely suppressed by Western powers. That’s why the community’s leading figures organized this conference—they’re hoping to gain recognition from the International Medical Alliance. And William Dodge is a key figure within the Medical Alliance."

Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is that so?"

Zhang Yaqing gave a bitter smile. "That’s right. Although Chinese medicine is powerful and is even recognized as such abroad, its development isn’t taken seriously enough at home. Overseas, Chinese medicine culture is now predominantly represented by the People of Yang Country.

"For instance, within the International Medical Alliance, one of the five permanent committee members is from Yang Country. They gained recognition from the Medical Alliance through their practice of Chinese medicine.

"And it’s precisely because of them that our domestic medical community has always been suppressed by the International Medical Alliance! As a result, the export of some of the Divine Land’s pharmaceuticals has been held in a stranglehold!

"Internationally, medicine produced in Yang Country now accounts for eighty percent of the market, while our domestic exports are restricted at every turn."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyes grew colder. Are they even worthy? The birthplace of traditional Chinese medicine is the Land of Shenzhou, yet these People of Yang Country have merely stolen a fraction of that knowledge. And now they have the audacity to subvert the natural order?

Zhang Yaqing smiled helplessly. "Even though there are people from our country currently holding positions within the International Medical Alliance, their ranks are low, and they have little say. To gain acknowledgment from the Medical Alliance, we need to demonstrate real strength.

"This William Dodge, although a foreigner, is extremely interested in the miraculous art of Chinese medicine. He has also contributed greatly to the promotion of our medicine. However, he currently believes that the medical standards of Yang Country are superior to those of our Divine Land. So... it’s quite a headache.

"This time, two of my Zongheng Chamber of Commerce’s products were blocked. The Luo Group suffered the same fate, and I don’t know why. Based on William Dodge’s usual conduct, he advocates for promoting Chinese medicine to the world for the benefit of humankind. He doesn’t seem like the type of person to do this. I suspect someone is causing trouble behind the scenes.

"That’s why I decided to come and see him."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao nodded. "Then tonight, let’s go meet this foreigner. If the opportunity arises, I don’t mind showing him which is superior: the medical arts of the Divine Land or the half-baked skills of those upstarts from Yang Country."

From Zhang Yaqing’s explanation, he got a general idea of who William Dodge was, but the fact that this foreigner favored the medical skills of Yang Country greatly annoyed him. This foreigner must just be sheltered. It was the first time he had heard of such a large-scale Chinese medicine conference, and he figured it wouldn’t hurt to check it out.
