Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife

"Dream on if you think I’m going to surrender!" Lu Rugao’s beautiful eyes blazed with ferocity. "The game isn’t over yet, and you’re already barking like a dog? There’s no way he can pocket this last ball! Stop deluding yourself!"

Although her words were tough, her posture betrayed just how tense she really was.

Chen Xiao chuckled. "Alright! It seems half a month won’t satisfy you. You’re determined to milk a whole month out of me, huh?"

Lu Rugao’s face turned deathly pale. When it came to trash talk, she was no match for Chen Xiao and Robin. Those two were just too vulgar, and she was always at a disadvantage when trading barbs with them.

Robin leered at Chen Xiao, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. "Lord Chen, as I sink this one into the hole, I’m wishing you a smooth entry of your own. Hahaha—"

His lascivious smile made Lu Rugao itch to slap him across the face.

So hateful! And if I really lose, will I actually have to keep my promise? Chen Xiao is afraid of nothing and no one. He wouldn’t possibly use this opportunity to forcibly take me away and lock me up... As she imagined the humiliating scenarios, she grew even more anxious. All I can do is silently hope that Robin makes a mistake on this shot.

However, Robin’s precise final shot shattered her delusions completely.

She had lost.

The moment she saw the ball drop into the pocket, Lu Rugao and the young socialites from Capital City behind her all turned ashen.

The corners of Chen Xiao’s mouth curled up. "Miss Lu, you’re not thinking of reneging on the bet, are you?"

After taking a deep breath, Lu Rugao said evenly, "Did I say something just now?"

"You said that if you lost, you would accompany me for a month," Chen Xiao laughed. "You don’t need me to teach you how to ’accompany’ me, do you?"

"Did I say that? Who can bear witness? Who dares to bear witness?" Lu Rugao scoffed. "Chen Xiao, don’t tell me you actually dare to lay a hand on me? Are you tired of living! If you touch me, my Capital Lu Family will never let you off. How about we both take a step back and pretend nothing happened?!"

Chen Xiao sneered as he advanced on her. "How about no? I’d much rather get a taste of the Lu Family’s young lady. It’d be a death worth dying for." As he spoke, he reached out to hook Lu Rugao’s chin.

"Boy, don’t touch Miss Lu!"

The young men from Capital City’s social circle behind Lu Rugao had no choice but to brace themselves and step forward, flailing their fists at Chen Xiao. Yet, he remained expressionless, simply flinging them away as if they were mere chicks.

As Chen Xiao closed in, Lu Rugao’s face turned white as a sheet. She pulled a gun from her waist and aimed it at him. "Take one more step..."

Before she could finish, a sharp pain shot through her wrist. The handgun was now in Chen Xiao’s hand.

With ease, Chen Xiao pulled Lu Rugao close. His aggressive gaze swept over her, burning with intense desire as it traveled slowly from her face to her elegant neck and down to the lofty peaks of her chest. She bit her lip and struggled furiously, but she couldn’t break free from his demonic grip. The feeling of being completely controlled and helpless filled her with indescribable humiliation. At the same time, Chen Xiao’s naked gaze made her feel as if she had been stripped bare. Being so unabashedly ogled by him caused an involuntary blush to creep across her skin.

Chen Xiao squinted, a wicked smile playing on his lips. "Serve me well for half a month. As long as you satisfy me, I’ll let you go immediately. How does that sound?"

"You wouldn’t dare touch me! If you really did, the Lu Family would never let you off!" Lu Rugao feigned calm. "You are indeed powerful, but my Lu Family has a Grandmaster Peak expert! Killing you would be as easy as lifting a hand! Don’t court death!"

"Is that so?" Chen Xiao smiled faintly. "What if I took you to my place and we lived together for a while? After I let that news slip, I could take the opportunity to propose a marriage alliance to the Lu Family. What do you think they would choose?"

At those words, Lu Rugao panicked completely.

Although I look down on this man, there’s no denying he has the sort of potential the Lu Family wants to recruit. The family didn’t reach its current status through brute force, but through marital alliances with other powerful families and forces. Our interests are all intertwined—one move affects the entire network. It’s how we’ve secured our position among the Five Great Families. If this man were to really force the issue and make it public, the Lu Family might actually agree to let him marry into the family and wed me, just to save face and recruit a promising talent like him... How could I ever accept such an outcome?

"Chen Xiao! You’re despicable!"

But just then, a furious shout cut through the air.

"Let Ruge go!"

The voice was powerful and thick with anger. Chen Xiao turned to see a handsome young man in white striding toward them with several people in tow.

Han Xin and the others let out a collective sigh of relief. "Young Master Jin is here! This guy’s luck has run out."

Jin Zilong, the scion of the Jin Family’s direct lineage—one of Capital City’s Five Great Families—was a renowned Martial Dao genius. He was also one of the four great commanders of the Capital Yulin Army and a devoted admirer of Lu Rugao. Years ago, he had boldly declared in Capital City that Lu Rugao was his woman and that anyone who dared to compete for her would be making an enemy of Jin Zilong. Consequently, no man had ever dared to get too close to Lu Rugao for fear of provoking his wrath. It was said the Lu Family had always intended to arrange a match between them. After all, with their comparable family backgrounds and his talent matched by her beauty, they were considered a match made in heaven—a more perfect pairing could not exist. Yet Lu Rugao had always kept Jin Zilong at arm’s length, treating him with cold indifference. But Jin Zilong had never given up.

Lu Rugao seemed to have grasped a lifeline. "Jin Zilong! Save me—"

Seeing the goddess of his heart held and humiliated so brazenly, Jin Zilong felt a tightness in his chest and burned with the desire to tear the man before him to pieces.

"Let Ruge go immediately!" he snarled, staring coldly at Chen Xiao. He strode forward with the imposing gait of a predator, his entire body radiating killing intent.

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow. "She lost a bet to me and has to accompany me for a month," he said coldly. "I’m just making her keep her promise so I can have a little fun. It’s perfectly reasonable. What’s it to you?" He then looked at Lu Rugao with a mocking smirk. "Is this your bootlicker?"

The word "bootlicker" struck a raw nerve. Jin Zilong’s eyes turned glacial. "Boy, today, I’ll make you pay for what you just said!" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Chen Xiao scoffed. "Looks like I hit the mark."

As he spoke, he lifted his palm.

SLAP—

His hand smacked down viciously on Lu Rugao’s shapely rear.

Her delicate body trembled from the impact on such a sensitive spot. A flush spread over her skin as tears of humiliation streamed from her eyes. "Chen Xiao, don’t go too far!"

"Too far?" Chen Xiao sneered, his hand brutally squeezing her supple flesh. "You’re my spoils of war. This is just the prelude. You think this is too much? If you can’t even handle a touch, how will you react when I strip you naked and throw you on my bed?"
