Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 36 Couldn’t Hold It In

Luo Qingli and Zhang Yaqing were the two gems of Yuncheng City. One was a cold beauty, the other as fiery as she was seductive, and both were the dream girl for countless men.

They glared at Chen Xiao for a good while but found nothing commendable about him, which made their teeth itch with hatred. What the hell does this bastard have going for him?

Zhang Yaoyang’s eyes blazed with fury. He had returned home in glory, his career a success, only to learn that Luo Qingli had flash-married some country bumpkin. He was so angry he could have spat blood.

But then he reconsidered. Luo Qingli had always been proud; she would never look twice at such trash. Her current rivalry with Zhang Yaqing wasn’t born from genuine affection for Chen Xiao, but rather the indignation of having her toy stolen. She would never give her body to him. Her virginity must still be intact, and this was the perfect opportunity for me to take advantage of her vulnerability!

With this in mind, he strode over, looking down on Chen Xiao. "I don’t know what damned use a country bumpkin like you is, sneaking in here... and on top of that, you relied on a woman to get you in."

"You’re a disgrace to all men!"

"Someone like you isn’t even in our league. Why are you trying to force your way in?"

Chen Xiao looked up. "Get the hell away from me."

"You, a country bumpkin who got in by riding a woman’s coattails, dare to talk to me like that?" Veins bulged on Zhang Yaoyang’s livid face. "Are you tired of living? Do you know who I am? The vice president of Gaotong Group’s Jiangnan branch!"

"Gaotong Group has always had a close partnership with Wushuang Corporation! Believe me, with just one word from me... you’ll be thrown out of here today!"

"Kick me out? Why don’t you try?" Chen Xiao stared back with a roguish glint in his eye. This is my Senior Sister’s turf; why would I be afraid of this guy? If he really gets pushed, I’ll toss this poser straight into a dung pit right here and now!

"This is getting interesting." The onlookers grew even more excited. Now it was two men fighting over a woman. However, Gaotong Group was an international behemoth. Even a vice president of a regional branch was an untouchable figure for the average person. What gave this guy the nerve to stand up to Zhang Yaoyang?

Suddenly, Zhang Yaoyang’s cold gaze swept to the side, and he beckoned to the staff members maintaining order.

The workers ran over, trembling. "Respected guest, what can we do for you?"

With an arrogant expression, Zhang Yaoyang questioned them coldly, "If I recall correctly, President Lu explicitly forbade any riffraff from entering and disturbing the event. Shouldn’t this low-class piece of dogshit be thrown out immediately?"

"This..." The workers looked utterly conflicted. This man had been brought in by Zhang Yaqing; how could they dare to expel him so casually?

"Mr. Zhang, why such a temper?" Just then, a figure with a charming smile approached. "Give the Xu Family some face. You’re a man of status, so why get into such a big fight with a country bumpkin?"

The newcomer was none other than Xu Yanran. She was exceptionally graceful, and her mature yet slightly proud and crisp demeanor captivated many of the men present.

As arrogant as Zhang Yaoyang was, he didn’t dare act condescendingly toward Xu Yanran. He immediately chuckled, "Alright. For Miss Xu’s sake, I’ll drop it."

Xu Yanran was the current leading figure of the Xu Family, and Jingtian Club was the Xu Family’s territory.

She then raised her glass to the crowd. "Welcome, everyone, to the banquet at Jingtian Club. As the hosts, my Xu Family offers you all a toast. However, the true guest of honor today is President Lu, so I won’t steal her spotlight."

Everyone politely raised their glasses in response.

Luo Qingli hurried forward. "Aunt Xu, thank you for your help with that matter last time. Allow me to offer you a personal toast."

Xu Yanran’s face flushed slightly. Only she knew that Jiang Tiannan’s concession had nothing to do with her. But in front of so many people, she couldn’t admit it. Forcing herself to keep up the pretense, she simply smiled and raised her glass to Luo Qingli, taking a delicate sip of red wine.

Then, she turned to Chen Xiao and said coldly, "For Qingli’s sake, I’m giving you a piece of advice. Stop causing trouble and creating headaches for her, or you’ll just need someone else to come and bail you out again!"

"Psycho. You can get lost, too," Chen Xiao cursed. I wish I hadn’t bothered saving this woman last night. Her mouth is so vile—is stomping on me her idea of fun?

"You..." Xu Yanran was furious. "Fine, ignore my advice. You’ll regret it sooner or later! I won’t stoop to arguing with your kind. It’s beneath me."

"Yanran." At that moment, a tall young man with sword-like brows, star-bright eyes, and a commanding presence approached, flanked by a group of other young men and women.

"Brother Liu, you’re here!" When Xu Yanran saw the newcomer, her eyes lit up with admiration and a hint of infatuation.

The man was Liu Yitong, sent by Dragon Soul to help her deal with Jiang Tiannan. Both his Martial Dao prowess and his status within Dragon Soul were higher than hers.

Liu Yitong had arrived just last night, and Jiang Tiannan had died. After some analysis, she had concluded that aside from Liu Yitong, no one in Yuncheng City’s younger generation was capable of killing Jiang Tiannan. Wasn’t it obvious who the mysterious man that saved her was?

That was why, after receiving the notice from her superiors last night, she had spent the entire time looking forward to meeting the knight in shining armor who had rescued her from peril. That was why she had invited him to Jingtian Club. And now, seeing Liu Yitong in person—not only graceful but also strikingly handsome—her heart fluttered even more.

She raised her voice, her tone filled with reverence. "Allow me to introduce everyone. This is Brother Liu Yitong from Dragon Soul, and he is a Second Level Commander!"

Xu Yanran’s single sentence set the entire venue abuzz.

Dragon Soul was a special organization within the Divine Land, a name synonymous with power and mystery. Those who could enter were top-tier Martial Dao geniuses, one in a million, who also had to be proficient in firearms, reconnaissance, and many other skills. A Second Level Commander was an existence far beyond their reach. To think such a distinguished young talent would grace their presence! It left them all feeling rather starstruck.

A small smile played on Liu Yitong’s lips; he relished being the center of attention. Seeing a top-tier beauty like Xu Yanran gazing at him with such tenderness sent him to cloud nine. Perhaps with just a little nudge, I could capture Xu Yanran’s heart and joyfully take the beauty home...

"Everyone, I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Jiang Tiannan is dead! And he died at the hands of Brother Liu!"

Xu Yanran had transformed into Liu Yitong’s number one fan, hyping him up to the crowd. She even recounted the story of how he had heroically saved her from peril the previous night.

It was clear to anyone with eyes that Liu Yitong had captured Xu Yanran’s heart... or more accurately, the grand hero who had saved her had.

Their admiration for Liu Yitong grew with every word they heard.

Only Liu Yitong stood there in total disarray. When did I kill Jiang Tiannan? How could I not know about it myself? He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but when he saw Xu Yanran’s gaze, so thick with worship and adoration it was practically palpable, he swallowed his words.

Xu Yanran continued to boast, describing the events of the previous night in vivid detail.

Suddenly, Chen Xiao let out a sharp laugh.

Even though I disguised myself last night, I’m still half a head taller than Liu Yitong—how could she mistake us for the same person? Is this woman blind or just an idiot?

His laughter was piercing in the dead silence. Every head in the room swiveled toward him.

Seeing all the strange looks, Chen Xiao forced his laughter down. "Sorry about that. I really didn’t mean to laugh, I just couldn’t hold it in."
