Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 44: Coming to Find Us!

"This is a driving lesson I prepared especially for you. If you find it boring, I’ll watch it with you!" Luo Qingli said, taking out her phone and performing a precise search. Soon, a middle-aged woman with a mysterious smile appeared on the screen. The driving techniques she explained were also very simple. First, you must be gentle at the start, allowing the engine to fully lubricate. Shift into first gear and hold it for three to five minutes, then accelerate into second. After that, continue to skillfully brake and accelerate... 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Chen Xiao glanced at Luo Qingli uneasily. "Is this ’driving’ she’s talking about really what I think it is?"

"Ahem." Luo Qingli’s face flushed with embarrassment. She feigned calmness as she turned off her phone. "I was searching for a serious driving lesson video. Who knew this nonsense would pop up!" She quickly changed the subject. "By the way, I bought some new clothes. What do you think?"

Chen Xiao glanced at Luo Qingli, noticing she was wearing another very loose nightgown. "Sure," he said casually, "as long as you trust my taste."

Luo Qingli slowly undid the zipper of her nightgown.

Chen Xiao’s Adam’s apple couldn’t help but bob.

Underneath the nightgown was a black lace teddy. The dark fabric created a stark contrast against her milky-white skin, making for a stunning sight.

"So? Not bad, right?" Luo Qingli asked, pleased with his reaction.

"Very... breathable." Chen Xiao felt his blood stir. Who could resist such a tantalizing sight? Especially considering how conservatively Luo Qingli used to dress.

"And what about this?" Luo Qingli smiled slyly, lifting the hem of her pajama pants. The fishnet stockings made her long, snow-white, and supple legs look even more perfect. They stretched from her pale toes all the way to her rounded bottom, and the widening gaps in the mesh only intensified Chen Xiao’s urge to explore.

Chen Xiao felt a rush of blood to his head. Seeing his dumbfounded expression, Luo Qingli felt both triumphant and satisfied.

"You secured a billion-dollar contract for me today, so this is your reward. My period is irregular, but I’m on medication for it, so you can just..."

She had said all that needed to be said. Chen Xiao immediately dimmed the bedside lamp and rolled over...

After several rounds of lovemaking, Luo Qingli lay on the bed, her delicate body wrapped in the sheets. A satisfied blush spread from her pretty face down to her neck. After a long pause, she finally spoke. "I’ll heat up some soup for you to replenish your strength. You can’t just overexert yourself because you’re young."

Chen Xiao’s expression was grim. Thinking about his indulgence over the past few days, he felt Luo Qingli might have a point. However, this woman was getting stranger and stranger. They had agreed to a marriage of convenience, and she was an ice queen at first, but now she was being so proactive. Hopefully, it’s just my imagination. Maybe, just as she said, this is her way of rewarding me for the billion-dollar project. Our relationship is ultimately a transaction. At most... we’re just workout buddies hiding behind a marriage certificate.

Just as he was about to drift off to sleep, Chen Xiao felt a soft, warm body wrap around him. "Chen Xiao, actually, I bought that bouquet of flowers myself," she whispered. "My relationship with Zhang Yaoyang wasn’t really boyfriend and girlfriend. During my rebellious phase, I deliberately used him to anger my family. We were only ’together’ for three days, and we never even held hands."

Chen Xiao nodded faintly. "Got it."

"Are you still mad?" Luo Qingli asked tentatively.

"I believe you," Chen Xiao said, closing his eyes.

Meanwhile, in a hospital in Yuncheng City, Liu Yitong lay on his bed with a blissful expression as Xu Yanran sat beside him, peeling fruit with red-rimmed eyes.

"Yanran, the doctor said there’s nothing seriously wrong with me. I should be fine very soon. How about I take you to the movies in a couple of days?" He looked at her with affection, and like the seasoned player he was, he took the opportunity to grab her hand.

"Ah? The movies?" Xu Yanran blushed. She had never been to the movies with a man before. But something feels off. Liu Yitong is very forward with me, but I’ve always had high standards. I’m no stranger to such fervent gazes, and I don’t just feel indifferent to them; I find them a bit disgusting. The mysterious young man who rescued me that night, on the other hand, was exceptionally cold. It was precisely that aloofness, that look that seemed to disregard everything, that has haunted my dreams! Is Liu Yitong really the mysterious man who saved me that night?

Amidst her confusion, Xu Yanran forced a smile. "Senior Brother, I’ve been a bit busy lately. How about another time?"

Liu Yitong was startled. Judging by Xu Yanran’s demeanor, he had been sure he had her wrapped around his finger, so he never expected her to actually turn him down. This was completely beyond his expectations.

"Junior Sister Xu, although the doctor said I’ve recovered, I still feel a bit anxious... After all, you know..."

Hearing this, Xu Yanran felt a wave of revulsion. Why is Liu Yitong acting like such a creep? So what if he’s been... ruined? Is that such a big deal? Can you not be a man without *that*? His behavior is a world away from the hero who saved me that night, the one who was unmoved by beauty... My perfect image of him has shattered.

With this thought, she couldn’t help but ask, "Senior Brother, the weapon you used that night was so cool. What’s it called?"

Liu Yitong froze, then waved his hand dismissively. "It’s a family heirloom. Its secrets cannot be shared lightly. Please forgive me, Junior Sister." I have no idea what kind of weapon that guy used, how could I dare make something up? What if I expose myself?

Xu Yanran could only nod. My suspicions are getting stronger! That’s right! Chen Xiao! Could he know something? I have to go find him tomorrow and ask!

With that thought, she quickly said, "Senior Brother, I have something to take care of, so I’ll be leaving now. Please take care of yourself." Then she hurriedly left.

「The next day. Luo Group.」

Chen Xiao, who was snoozing at his desk, was jolted awake by a kick. He lifted his head and saw Xu Yanran standing before him.

"What are you doing here?" Chen Xiao snapped irritably. "I don’t want to see you!"

Xu Yanran snorted coldly, crossing her arms and looking down at him. "You think I want to see you? I came to ask you a few questions!"

"What questions?" Chen Xiao asked, digging a finger in his ear.

Xu Yanran demanded coldly, "Do you know something about that night? Tell me everything, right now!"
