The Strongest Master Venturing Urban-Chapter 354: Didn’t You Say You Wouldn’t Touch Me?

Here is the translation of the text:

Faced with this sudden interrogation, Chen Bin’s heart fluttered in fear.

He hurriedly explained, "That girl was a former colleague of mine. She does seem to like me, but we have absolutely never done anything inappropriate. Besides, my sister knows about her and me."

Seeing Chen Bin’s sincere demeanor, Yuan Qian reluctantly responded.

"You better watch yourself. If you dare hurt my cousin, I won’t let you off!"

"Cousin, rest assured. My sister is carrying my child. I would never betray her."

Yuan Qian let out a snort but said nothing more.

At that moment, Chen Bin asked further.

"By the way, when can I be discharged from the hospital?"

"About a month from now!"

"A month? Can’t I leave earlier? Staying here is really unbearable."

Chen Bin was not the type to sit idle. The thought of spending a whole month in the hospital made him uneasy.

Yuan Qian replied firmly, "No way. Your injuries are serious. If you leave early and there’s a complication, you might have to stay even longer next time!"

"Then could you transfer me to Dragon Mountain Hospital? I still have work to do!"

Chen Bin was actually worried that Ye Hong and Feng Huzhou might take advantage of his hospitalization to stir trouble, which would be disastrous.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Qian nodded.

"A transfer is possible, but not until half a month later. The county’s medical facilities can’t compare to those here."

Chen Bin understood that Yuan Qian was doing this for his own good.

With a heavy sigh, he reluctantly agreed.

At this moment, Ma Juan entered carrying lunch.

She didn’t recognize Yuan Qian, so she went straight to Chen Bin and helped him sit up.

Yuan Qian grew even more annoyed at Ma Juan’s appearance.

In truth, Yuan Qian had informed Xu Ruoxuan about the situation here on the first day Chen Bin was admitted.

However, Xu Ruoxuan didn’t seem angry at all; instead, she mentioned that having someone willing to care for Chen Bin made her life easier.

Since Xu Ruoxuan wasn’t bothered, Yuan Qian, as her cousin, had no grounds to say anything further.

After shooting a cold glance at Ma Juan, Yuan Qian turned and left.

Having been on a diet of nutrient fluids during his hospital stay, Chen Bin immediately gobbled up the food upon catching its aroma.

During this time, Ma Juan became curious about Ye Pei’s attempted assassination.

She directly asked, "Brother Bin, what grudge does that Ye Pei have against you to make him go this far?"

"His wife was my colleague. Some time ago, they had a fight at home, and she stormed off in anger. Coincidentally, I ran into her and escorted her to a guesthouse to settle down. When he found out, he insisted that something was going on between us, and then... well, here we are."

Ma Juan turned to look at Chen Bin, her eyes full of suspicion.

"If he just suspected you, he wouldn’t get this worked up, would he? You and his wife..."

"She’s pregnant! I’m not interested in pregnant women!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Juan finally felt reassured.

But then another worry crept into her mind.

If she became pregnant in the future and Chen Bin lost interest in her, what would she do?

In the afternoon, some officers from Public Security came by.

During questioning, Chen Bin didn’t hold back, embellishing the incident while recounting it.

After the officers left, Xiong Wubing and others arrived to visit Chen Bin.

Seeing that Chen Bin was in good spirits, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The next morning, while Chen Bin and Ma Juan were deliberating over what to eat, Cao Sanjin showed up.

Chen Bin was about to get out of bed to greet him, but Cao Sanjin quickly stopped him.

"Don’t move around. Just stay in bed."

Chen Bin nodded slightly and shot Ma Juan a look.

Understanding that a high-ranking official had arrived, Ma Juan promptly left the room without hesitation.

After sitting down, Cao Sanjin immediately expressed concern.

"How are you feeling now?"

"Much better."

Seeing Cao Sanjin looking rather drained, Chen Bin assumed it was because he was worried about him.

He quickly apologized, "I’m sorry for troubling you."

"As long as you’re okay. By the way, I heard the person who attacked you is Ye Hong’s son?"

"That’s right. He was trying to kill me. Before this, in Dragon Mountain, he almost murdered his wife and mother-in-law. He’s still wanted, too."

Furious, Cao Sanjin slammed a fist onto the hospital bed.

"That damn Ye Hong again! As a secretary of the County Committee, how could he let his son turn into such a mess? Does he think he can keep his job?"

Seizing the opportunity, Chen Bin revealed everything he knew about Ye Hong’s secret illegitimate daughter.

Cao Sanjin was utterly shocked.

"I didn’t think Ye Hong would dare do such a thing! If you can find the child, I’ll make sure he steps down!"

Chen Bin felt a surge of joy hearing this.

Then Cao Sanjin asked, "By the way, who was that girl who just walked out?"

"Her name is Ma Juan. She’s a friend of mine from when I worked in Qingshi County..."

Chen Bin proceeded to explain Ma Juan’s background.

Learning that Ma Juan had secured the distribution rights for Bailing Wine thanks to Chen Bin’s help, Cao Sanjin didn’t inquire further.

After all, such kindness would naturally warrant reciprocation, so it made sense for her to help out.

As for Cao Chenxi, his precious daughter, he certainly wouldn’t let her do such caregiving tasks.

"What did the doctors say about your discharge date?"

Chen Bin replied, "At least a month. But considering my position, they’ll let me transfer back to Dragon Mountain Hospital after half a month."

"Alright. Health is the foundation of all endeavors. Don’t push yourself too hard."

After his words ended, Cao Sanjin got up and said, "Time’s running out. I need to head to work. I’ll visit you again when I have time." ƒreewebɳovel.com

"Alright, take care."

As he reached the door, Cao Sanjin turned back hesitantly.

He seemed about to say something but eventually left without a word.

A week later, Chen Bin had recovered significantly.

Though still inconvenienced in many ways, he was mostly capable of taking care of himself.

Initially, he planned to ask Ma Juan to go home and have a caregiver assist him instead.

But Ma Juan outright refused, choosing to do everything herself.

Even for Chen Bin’s trips to the bathroom, she insisted on helping.

Since Chen Bin was in a special hospital room for cadres that only had one bed, regulations prohibited adding another.

Every night, seeing Ma Juan sleep hunched over the edge of the bed made him feel deeply empathetic.

That night, he tentatively offered.

"Xiao Juan, how about joining me on the bed? It’s quite spacious."

After a moment of hesitation, Ma Juan looked wary.

"I’ll lie down, but this is a hospital. You better behave yourself."

"Oh come on, I’m in this state—how could I possibly do anything to you?"

For some reason, after hearing this, a faint sense of loneliness flashed through Ma Juan’s heart.

Once she climbed onto the bed, she curled up in Chen Bin’s embrace.

Relishing the long-lost warmth, she felt at ease.

Just as sleep began to set in, she suddenly felt a firm grip on her chest.

Her eyes flew open as she asked with feigned indignation, "Didn’t you say you wouldn’t touch me? So now..."

Before she could finish, Chen Bin’s lips sealed hers.

Soon after, she felt a large hand roaming freely across her body...
