Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife - Chapter 238 - 228: Exercise Restraint
Next, Chen Xiao gave Luo Qingli a detailed explanation on how to deal with Lu Rugao, while Zhang Yaqing assisted on the side. Before long, Luo Qingli was too exhausted to listen anymore. Zhang Yaqing then began listening attentively as Chen Xiao explained how to prevent Lu Rugao from targeting the Zongheng Chamber of Commerce. After catching her breath, Luo Qingli grew angrier the more she thought about it and also got up to assist Chen Xiao. Unexpectedly, not only did Zhang Yaqing not object, but she actually seemed to enjoy it.
That night, they whispered amongst themselves for a long time. Chen Xiao only grew more spirited, while the two women were suffering terribly. It was only when they could no longer endure it that they begged for mercy and fell into a deep sleep.
It wasn’t until the next afternoon that Luo Qingli kicked Chen Xiao out of bed, then furiously got dressed and stormed out.
Chen Xiao clutched his aching waist, grimacing as he stood up. This woman... she really doesn’t hold back!
Watching from the side, a smile played on Zhang Yaqing’s lips. Her face, now glowing with vitality, looked even more charming and alluring.
"What are you laughing at?" Chen Xiao asked, rubbing his waist as he sat on the edge of the bed.
"Wasn’t my assistance last night pretty good?" Zhang Yaqing smirked playfully. "When I teased her, her reactions were so over the top. It was just too cute."
It had to be said that Zhang Yaqing was a natural-born charmer, a true fox spirit personified. Luo Qingli was no match for her and had been led by the nose by Chen Xiao the entire time. As the ultimate victor, Chen Xiao naturally wouldn’t dwell on such minor issues. A shy ice beauty and a fiery enchantress... what more could a man ask for?
Zhang Yaqing’s supple body pressed up against him again. "It’s still early, how about we..."
"Didn’t you say you were tired last night? You were begging for mercy," Chen Xiao replied, tilting her chin up with a wicked smile.
"Last night was last night, and now is now," Zhang Yaqing said, giving Chen Xiao a coquettish glance. "You wouldn’t happen to be all bark and no bite, would you?"
How could Chen Xiao possibly tolerate such a provocation? Thus, it wasn’t long before Zhang Yaqing started making excuses again, claiming she had work to handle at the company. Chen Xiao had no choice but to let her go.
When the two of them came down to the living room, Luo Qingli’s face was frosty as she shot them a fierce glare. "Shameless!" In broad daylight, with other people in the villa, they don’t even try to be discreet!
Li Biyun’s cheeks were scarlet. She had also gone to bed very late. The noise from their "conversation" had gotten quite loud at times, making her intensely curious about what they were plotting. As a result, she’d discovered that not only was Luo Qingli awake, but so was Zhang Yaqing... This discovery opened up a whole new world for her. To top it off, Zhang Yaqing had emerged from Luo Qingli’s room this morning... At that thought, even her ears began to burn. Is Big Brother Chen’s back made of iron?
Robin, meanwhile, didn’t dare make a sound. In this situation, saying anything would be unwise. He simply had to play dumb, though he was secretly giving Chen Xiao a thumbs-up in his heart. Lord Chen truly lives up to his name! His medical skills are heaven-defying, his martial arts are formidable, and he’s the king of iron loins!
In the end, it was Chen Xiao who cleared his throat to break the awkward atmosphere. "So... Robin, tell Qingli about the current situation with the Luo Group."
"Alright!" Robin smartly seized the chance to change the subject and quickly briefed Luo Qingli.
Upon hearing his report, Luo Qingli narrowed her eyes slightly. Robin is truly remarkable, managing to leverage Lu Rugao’s substantial funds with just a small amount of capital. Though Lu Rugao seems to have the upper hand for now, she’s actually surrounded by danger. She’s acting so recklessly, trying to crush the Luo Group in one fell swoop, only because she thinks we’re short on funds. In reality, we have substantial capital at our disposal, not to mention a top-tier trader! Lu Rugao has already walked right into our trap.
"Next, we need to maintain this illusion and continue to lure her into investing more funds. That’s the only way we can swallow all her money in one go," Robin explained. "So, for the next few days, we’ll still appear to be at a disadvantage.
"But don’t panic. Everything is under our control."
Hearing this, Luo Qingli nodded.
However, Zhang Yaqing voiced her concerns. "Aren’t we biting off more than we can chew? The Lu Family isn’t to be trifled with. Maybe we should just quit while we’re ahead. I’m afraid of this plan backfiring.
"One hundred billion in cash is definitely not the limit for the Lu Corporation. If the Lu Family decides to go all-in against us, they can certainly raise more funds to play. I’m worried that if this turns into a bloody fight, we’ll all get dragged down."
Chen Xiao just smiled. "One hundred billion isn’t my limit, either. This is just me testing the waters.
"If the Lu Family really wants a fight to the death, they’d have to half-cripple themselves to see it through. They won’t recklessly gamble away a foundation built over centuries. Otherwise, if other hungry wolves smell blood in the water, it won’t just be us they’ll have to deal with. Everyone will pounce on them for a piece."
Robin chuckled as well. "Miss Zhang, rest assured. Lord Chen’s capabilities are far greater than you can imagine! Even if the entire Lu Family came at us, Lord Chen wouldn’t be afraid!" Forget Lord Chen, if I got serious and promised huge returns to some of those foreign financial magnates, I could gather enough funds to cripple the Lu Family myself.
Hearing both Robin and Chen Xiao speak with such confidence, the two women said no more. Since Chen Xiao was so self-assured, he must have a solid foundation for his confidence.
"I should get to work," Luo Qingli said, standing up.
"Me too." Zhang Yaqing also rose with a smile and gave Chen Xiao a kiss on the cheek. "As tempting as this den of pleasure is, I can’t keep being so indulgent."
With that, she walked out, her hips swaying.
After the two women left, Robin couldn’t help but give Chen Xiao a thumbs-up. "Boss, you’re incredible!" Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing are no ordinary women. In terms of beauty, charisma, career, wealth, and intelligence, they’re at the very pinnacle. For Chen Xiao to handle both of them... it’s just mind-boggling. That’s his charm. Unlike me, I can only rely on cold, hard cash. He sighed at the thought. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Li Biyun blushed slightly and stood up. "Big Brother Chen, I’ll go make something to eat."
A moment later, she returned with a bowl of boiled eggs.
Chen Xiao’s face darkened. "Why so many eggs?"
"To replenish your protein," Li Biyun replied. "The books say one must practice moderation, not overindulge. Big Brother Chen, you... you need to take care of your health."
After saying her piece, she shyly ran upstairs.
Chen Xiao felt a bit awkward. Finally, he peeled one of the boiled eggs and started to eat.
Robin, meanwhile, was laughing hysterically. "Lord Chen, she’s telling you to replenish your stores! Don’t drain your very essence."
"Stop your nonsense!" Chen Xiao kicked him. "Eat."
On the verge of tears, Robin could only join Chen Xiao in this torture. After letting out a breath that reeked of egg, he nudged Chen Xiao’s arm. "Lord Chen! I have a feeling... that little girl might have taken a liking to you, too."
