Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 34: An Unexpected Encounter at the Door

Chapter 34: Chapter 34: An Unexpected Encounter at the Door

Then, a dense mass of text flooded into his mind. After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, a trace of ecstasy in his eyes.

There really is a way... It seems my biological parents knew about my special constitution all along and had already arranged the complete solution for my Celestial Yang Body!

He had been tormented by Yang Poison for many years and thought his life was nearing its end. Now, at last, he had found a cure for his special constitution within the Jade Pendant.

He began to slowly digest the information. According to the Jade Pendant, to counter the corrosive effects of the Yang Poison from his Celestial Yang Body, he needed to strengthen his physical constitution. By using rare medicinal treasures to enhance his body, he could cultivate the Mysterious Yang Body. Only in this way could he suppress his deadly constitution from the inside out.

However, upon seeing the list of medicinal ingredients, Chen Xiao couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. The ingredients listed were all treasures so rare they were difficult to find even once in a century. Being well-versed in pharmacology, he was intimately familiar with these ingredients and knew just how precious they were.

Though disheartened for a moment, his eyes quickly filled with resolve. The heavens gave me this special constitution and tormented me for so many years, wanting me to submit to my fate. But I, Chen Xiao, am determined to defy the heavens and change my fate! I refuse to believe... it can truly defeat me!

Plagued by Yang Poison from a young age, Chen Xiao’s character had already been tempered. The heavens might want him dead, but he adamantly refused to accept his fate.

From the Jade Pendant, Chen Xiao also learned a little about his biological parents. Although there were only a few brief notes, he gathered that they had been pursued by enemies. They were forced to abandon him at the foot of a mountain to ensure his survival.

Kunlun Realm? Did my parents come from that place, or did they go there? Chen Xiao’s gaze deepened as he learned about this place from the Jade Pendant. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

He had many questions, but for now, he could only suppress them. The most pressing matter was to find these rare medicinal ingredients to extend his life.

After taking a deep breath, Chen Xiao calmed his mind and prepared for bed. Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Who else could it be?" Luo Qingli’s voice came through. "I called for you several times just now, but you didn’t respond. What’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing, you can go back." Chen Xiao felt somewhat exhausted after processing the vast amount of information.

"Really nothing? Open the door and let me see." Luo Qingli sounded doubtful. Could those tonics have been useless? That makes no sense. I heard they were highly nourishing! He should feel incredibly potent after taking them, how could they be ineffective?

"Go back. I’m resting."

After he said this, Luo Qingli saw the light in the room go out. Seeing this, she could only return to her room in frustration. This blockhead! Have I lost my charm? It’s only been a few days since our wedding! she fumed silently. She pulled the quilt over herself, feeling vexed. Tossing and turning, she couldn’t sleep all night...

「The next morning,」

Chen Xiao called Lu Wushuang as soon as he woke up.

"Junior Brother, what’s up? Missing your Senior Sister already?" Lu Wushuang’s somewhat languid voice came over the phone.

"Senior Sister, how could I not miss you? See? I’m calling you first thing in the morning," Chen Xiao said shamelessly.

"Cut it out!" Lu Wushuang laughed. "You little rascal, you only ever think of your Senior Sister when you need something. If you have something to say, spit it out. Don’t beat around the bush."

Chen Xiao said, "I heard your Wushuang Corporation has a project up for bid worth one billion?"

Lu Wushuang pondered for a moment. "The bidding you’re talking about does exist... The Luo Family is one of the bidders. It seems you want to pull some strings for that woman of yours?"

"Senior Sister is brilliant!" Chen Xiao beamed.

"Hmph! Has that woman bewitched you in just a few days?" Lu Wushuang’s tone was tinged with sourness. "You’ve never asked me for anything before. I can’t believe the first time you ask for a favor, it’s for her..."

Chen Xiao explained, "It’s because I promised her something. I agreed to do three things for her in exchange for her returning the Jade Pendant to me."

Hearing this seemed to mollify Lu Wushuang. "Fine. The project is hers."

"I knew Senior Sister pampers me the most!"

"Come to the Jingtian Club this afternoon," Lu Wushuang said. "I’ll be waiting for you."

"I’ll definitely be there!"

Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. He never liked being indebted to anyone. Once he fulfilled the three promises to Luo Qingli, he could leave with a clear conscience.

After practicing his cultivation while seated on the bed for an hour or two, Chen Xiao left his room feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

Luo Qingli was, as usual, not at home.

At noon, he received a text message from her: "I might be busy until very late tonight."

Chen Xiao sent a brief reply, changed into some presentable clothes, shaved, and tidied himself up before heading out. After all, today was his Senior Sister’s event, and as her Junior Brother, he couldn’t afford to embarrass her.

「Half an hour later.」

Chen Xiao’s figure appeared in front of the Jingtian Club.

The Jingtian Club was one of the largest high-end clubs in Yuncheng City. Owned by the Xu Family, it was a gathering place for the powerful and wealthy, and it was usually bustling with activity. Today, however, it was much less crowded because Lu Wushuang had booked the entire venue. Only those with an invitation from the Wushuang Corporation were qualified to enter.

Unsurprisingly, Chen Xiao was stopped by the security at the door and asked for his invitation.

Chen Xiao gave a wry smile. Looks like I’ll have to call Senior Sister...

However, just then, a voice like a silver bell came from behind him. "I’m an invited guest at today’s banquet. I can take him inside with me, right?"

Chen Xiao turned around. To his surprise, it was Zhang Yaqing.

Today, Zhang Yaqing was wearing a black dress and high heels, her slender legs wrapped in black stockings. She looked elegant and striking, radiating the aura of someone in a position of power. Yet, an underlying coquettish charm emanated from her very being.

The guard at the door naturally recognized the daughter of the Zhang Family and didn’t dare to stop her. "Miss... Miss Zhang... of course, you can bring someone in." Heck, she could bring in a whole group if she wanted!

"Let’s go!" Zhang Yaqing smiled sweetly, moving to take Chen Xiao’s arm and walk inside with him.

But at that very moment, another Maybach sped up and parked beside the club. A refined-looking young man holding a set of keys stepped out of the driver’s seat. The passenger door opened, and Luo Qingli emerged with a smile on her face.

She was holding a bouquet of flowers and walking toward the entrance, talking and laughing with the young man. But the moment she looked up and saw Chen Xiao, her expression changed dramatically.

"Chen... Chen Xiao?"

She quickly hid the flowers behind her back, lowering her head guiltily. After all, she had just texted him that she would be busy late into the night, only for him to catch her getting out of a car with another man.

The scene instantly became awkward.
