Forced to Marry a Female Billionaire CEO-Chapter 591: I Will Work Hard, Director Wang

Wong Qifu met Xu Ke's curious gaze, her own eyes flickering for a moment before she smiled sweetly. "I don't know. I haven't thought it through."

The smile made Xu Ke's scalp tingle. "Cut it out and just tell me!"

When does she ever make that face when we're discussing serious matters?

"I really haven't thought it through," Wong Qifu laughed. "Ever since you refused to be my personal trainer, I haven't really had any ideas."

Hearing this, Xu Ke had a sudden realization. "So if I had let lust cloud my judgment and agreed to be your personal trainer, something bad would have happened?"

"Exactly." Wong Qifu nodded, then added, seemingly out of the blue, "So you might want to thank Siao Jia." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Xu Ke was taken aback by the name. "Why?"

"Wasn't it because you were afraid she'd get jealous that you rejected me?" Wong Qifu stated calmly.

Although her tone was light, it made Xu Ke break out in a cold sweat; it carried an inexplicable sense of danger.

"Not really. My main concern was your high status. If we had gotten too close back then, it might have caused trouble for you," Xu Ke said with a forced laugh.

Wong Qifu nonchalantly responded, "Is that so?"

Xu Ke fell silent, then quickly changed the subject. "Y-Yeah, something like that… Right. So according to you, if I had let lust get the better of me, assumed you were interested, and made a move, I would've been a dead man, right?"

Wong Qifu smiled. "Uncle Wu probably would have beaten you to death."

Xu Ke was speechless.

Good thing I stuck to my role back then and didn't do anything…

But after the scare, Xu Ke's thoughts shifted to the present. "What about now?"

"What do you mean, 'now'?" Wong Qifu asked, puzzled.

"If I made a move on you now, would I still be a dead man?" Xu Ke looked at Wong Qifu, his large hand coming to rest on her slender waist over her robe.

Wong Qifu's face immediately turned red. "Stop that."

"You keep talking," Xu Ke said quite earnestly.

It took Wong Qifu a fair bit of effort to pry his hand away, and she said, "So, it's simple now. In a little while, you're going to come with me on a trip to Haojing."

"That master sent a message asking me to bring you to see him before May."

"I've worked out the timing, and early April is the most suitable."

Xu Ke frowned slightly. "Why is the timing so awkward?"

"He's leaving in early May?"

Wong Qifu nodded.

Xu Ke said, "So we're not inviting him to our engagement?"

He hadn't forgotten that in a month and a half, he and Wong Qifu were set to be officially engaged. Even though their relationship was developing on its own, this master was the one who had brought them together. It wouldn't be right not to invite him.

"We will invite him, but the master travels all over. He probably won't come," Wong Qifu mused, then shook her head slightly.

"Then we'll just have to go to Haojing to thank him."

At the same time, I need to ask Xie Jiancheng which big shot gave him that bronze jue. Since we're going to Haojing in half a month, I might be able to find another Dragon Essence Item there.

Wong Qifu smiled and said nothing.

Xu Ke remembered something. "What's the master's name?"

"His real name is unknown. Everyone just calls him Mister Mu."

"Mister Mu…"

Xu Ke searched his mind, wondering if he had ever heard this name from his mentor. But after a thorough search of his memories, he came up with nothing.

Xu Ke then asked, "What is the 'great calamity' Mister Mu mentioned?"

Hearing this, Wong Qifu frowned. "That, I truly have no idea about."

"Could it be the Ye Family and the Huang Family?"

Xu Ke shook his head. "They're a bunch of buffoons. That doesn't seem likely."

"Stop with the wisecracks." Wong Qifu shot him a sideways glance.

Xu Ke chuckled sheepishly.

Thinking about something as vague as a 'great calamity' wouldn't get them anywhere. They could only shelve the thought for now and wait to see if any clues emerged. They weren't particularly worried about its arrival. After all, the worst it could do was kill them. And wasn't their life already filled with things that could do just that?

After they finished discussing the matter, Xu Ke contemplated for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.

Wait, does this mean Wong Qifu and I are going on a trip to Haojing? Hmm… this requires some serious planning.

"What are you thinking about?" Wong Qifu asked curiously, seeing the look of excitement on his face as he pondered.

"Nothing much. Just wondering if I should bring a gift for our meeting," Xu Ke chuckled.

"No need." Wong Qifu, still inexperienced in these matters, didn't pick up on the indescribable glint in Xu Ke's smile. She continued on her own, "Forget the gift. But you need to handle the things on your plate first, so you aren't all tied up at the end of the month."

"What things? Am I that busy?" Xu Ke asked instinctively.

This time, Wong Qifu was genuinely speechless. "Are you serious? You really don't think you're busy?"

"Huh?"

"Yihe Pharmaceuticals, the clinic at Global Square, your training with the Northern Dragon Guard, and the matters with the Assassin's Alliance. It's been almost ten days since the Martial Alliance selection tournament ended, so Long Capital will probably send a notification soon. And also…"

"Enough, enough, stop," Xu Ke groaned, his head suddenly throbbing.

"I don't even know how you plan to handle all that, and you have the gall to tell me you're not busy?" Wong Qifu said, laughing with exasperation.

A look of chagrin crossed Xu Ke's face. "Well, it didn't all come to mind at once…"

Having just returned from the trip to Sui City, his mind was set on relaxing, not on all his responsibilities.

Wong Qifu had an I-knew-it expression as she shook her head. "I knew you'd be swamped around this time."

"So, I've already done what I can to help you."

"Regarding Yihe Pharmaceuticals, I've sent someone to start talks with Zhou Qingzhi. I've looked into it for you; there are quite a few issues, but you'll have to handle them yourself from here on out. I won't interfere."

"I also inquired about the Martial Alliance selection for you. Apparently, Long Capital never expected you to win, so the main tournament originally scheduled for May will likely be postponed. You don't have to worry about that for now."

"Additionally, for the clinic, I've already asked Xiao Ya and Xiao Yi to go help out. Organizing the grand opening can be a little diversion for them."

"Moreover, you probably can't be at the clinic all the time, so I intentionally had someone drop a hint to Doctor Yang at the small building. He seems very interested in being your resident doctor."

"I really don't know why you, who are always running around, would want to open a clinic…" Wong Qifu finished, her tone flat.

After hearing all this, Xu Ke was nearly moved to tears. "How can you be so good to me…"

"You know what? Maybe I should just drop everything and be a kept man at home."

With a wife like this, who needs a career? I should just go home and lie down…

But Wong Qifu pinched the soft flesh of his waist, a smile that didn't reach her eyes on her face. "I'm waiting for you to provide for me, and what is this you're saying now?"

Xu Ke immediately admitted defeat. "I'll work hard in the days to come, Director Wang."

"Oh, get out of here…"
