Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 76 No Creditability

Although the two of them enjoyed their regular banter, Qin Lan was sharp-tongued and guarded, making them seem incompatible. Despite this, he could feel that she had feelings for him.

However, due to Luo Qingli’s presence, she had always kept those feelings deeply suppressed.

But he also understood that everyone had their own convictions. He respected Qin Lan’s desire to resolve matters on her own, but he would only give her two months.

If Qin Lan couldn’t solve the problem in two months, he would step in.

After Chen Xiao returned to the villa, he found Xu Yanran practicing in the courtyard. Her movements were methodical, executed with a certain flair.

Li Biyun was beside her, imitating her cultivation. In just a few days, her cultivation had actually reached the Middle Stage of External Strength—a rate of progress that was nothing short of miraculous. Taking down seven or eight ordinary men would be no problem at all.

By now, both women were drenched in sweat. Their tight-fitting training clothes were soaked through, perfectly accentuating their curves. The clingy fabric especially highlighted the fullness of their chests.

Chen Xiao glanced at them and asked Xu Yanran, "Did you teach her to cultivate this way?"

Xu Yanran snorted, a hint of pride in her voice. "Biyun is quite talented. She broke through to the Middle Stage of External Strength in just a few days! Of course, that’s thanks to my guidance."

Chen Xiao was speechless. "Her rapid progress has nothing to do with you; it’s purely because she refined the power within her body. The cultivation method you’re teaching her is wrong. It will only hinder her development!"

With that, he walked over to Li Biyun’s side. "Stop for a moment."

Li Biyun obediently stopped.

"Your stance and force exertion are wrong. The External Strength Stage is primarily about training a martial artist’s vitality and physical body—it’s about building physical strength! This is the most fundamental foundation for any martial artist."

"You have a mysterious power aiding you, which is great, but your body is too frail. During the External Strength Stage, you must improve your vitality and physical fitness."

SMACK! He slapped Li Biyun on her perky bottom.

Li Biyun’s face instantly turned as red as an apple. A strange sensation flooded her body, and she nearly collapsed into Chen Xiao’s arms.

But Chen Xiao’s expression remained serious. "Horse stance! Engage your thighs!"

Li Biyun didn’t dare to disobey and quickly followed his instructions. As she squatted, a sore numbness immediately spread through her thighs, and both her thighs and calves tensed up.

Chen Xiao’s hand rested on her waist. "Stabilize your core. Inhale slightly. Don’t let your waist collapse."

"Mhm," Li Biyun nodded shyly. Though his hand wasn’t wandering, she could still feel the heat radiating from his large palm, making her feel flustered.

"Unite your waist and legs. Train your lower body and build your core strength.

"When you punch, you need to relax your arms, shoulder blades, and back. You should feel like you’re throwing your entire body forward. Only by exerting force while relaxed can you unleash its full potential.

"When you kick, you can’t rely solely on leg strength. You must use your stride to whip your entire leg out like a lash..."

As Chen Xiao instructed her, he corrected her posture, which naturally involved a fair amount of physical contact.

Xu Yanran fumed as she watched from the side, stopping her practice. This guy’s "guidance" is just an excuse to grope Li Biyun all over! What an animal...

"Chen Xiao, are you just using martial arts instruction as an excuse to take advantage of Biyun?"

Chen Xiao put on a serious face. "You have a filthy mind. Don’t assume everyone else is as dirty as you are."

"Hmph! You’re no saint yourself!" Xu Yanran grabbed a towel to wipe her sweat and headed into the villa, the sway of her hips creating an exaggeratedly curvy silhouette.

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but take a few extra glances. Unlike Luo Qingli, Qin Lan, and Zhang Yaqing, Xu Yanran has practiced martial arts for years. Her physical proportions are simply heaven-defying, possessing a kind of healthy, athletic beauty.

Xu Yanran was still simmering with frustration. Yesterday, she had snuck into the kitchen to look for the Nourishing Facial Cream but had found no trace of it, leaving her thoroughly annoyed. Who is this guy hiding it from?

Chen Xiao followed her inside and teased her with a grin, "Looking for that Beauty Ointment?"

Xu Yanran shot him a glare. "I couldn’t care less about it!"

"I can give you some," Chen Xiao said.

"Really?" Xu Yanran’s face lit up.

"One million for a single use," Chen Xiao said with a cheeky smile, holding up one finger.

"You might as well just rob me!" Xu Yanran said indignantly. Then, her eyes glinted. "Let’s make a deal."

"Just pay up!" Chen Xiao wasn’t about to indulge her.

"Give it to me, or I’ll tell Qingli you didn’t come home last night," Xu Yanran threatened.

"You’re ruthless!" Not wanting any more trouble, Chen Xiao went to his room, grabbed some Nourishing Facial Cream, and gave it to her. "I won’t forget this."

Xu Yanran happily took the Nourishing Facial Cream. "Don’t worry. From now on, my lips are sealed."

Chen Xiao took a quick shower to rinse off the sweat and then headed to the Luo Group.

As he entered the CEO’s office, he saw Luo Qingli sitting primly at her desk, holding a document. When she saw him enter, she lifted her clear eyes to meet his.

"I heard you didn’t come home last night?"

That damn woman! She has no integrity! She took the cream and still ratted me out? Chen Xiao cursed Xu Yanran a hundred times in his head.

He feigned calmness. "That’s right. I had to take care of something. Why?"

"This is the Beauty Ointment I told you about," he said, tossing the Nourishing Facial Cream to her.

Luo Qingli stared at him for a long moment before finally looking away. "Does this stuff really work?"

She didn’t press him about where he had been last night. She’d heard from Xu Yanran that while Chen Xiao was out, that sly fox Zhang Yaqing had been with them the entire time. He probably didn’t have a chance to go fooling around, right?

"Give it a try. It might just change your entire worldview," Chen Xiao said confidently. "And don’t forget our bet."

Luo Qingli’s pretty face flushed. The terms Chen Xiao had proposed were deeply embarrassing... But now, I have to bite the bullet. If it can truly resolve this crisis, I’ll endure it, no matter how humiliating.

She extended a delicate finger and applied the Nourishing Facial Cream to her face.

A cool, soothing sensation spread across her skin... It felt very comfortable.

Fifteen minutes later, she went to wash the ointment off and stared at her reflection in the mirror, utterly disbelieving.

Unbelievable! This was absolutely unbelievable!

Not only had it lightened her skin, but it had also increased its brightness by a whole level! The most incredible part was that it had even cleared out all the impurities from under her skin!

Suppressing her wild joy, she dashed out of the bathroom, threw her arms around Chen Xiao, and planted several kisses on his cheek. "Chen Xiao! You’ve done something amazing!"

With this Beauty Ointment, she was confident she could dominate the entire beauty market.

She grew impatient. "I’m taking this to the R&D department right now to show them the effects. Then we can start production immediately!"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao simply smiled. "No rush. Don’t you still want to expose the traitor who betrayed you and teach Luo Linlin and her friends a lesson?"

"I’ll teach you how to kill two birds with one stone."
