Lu Chiwan’s face turned deathly pale from fright, instinctively searching for something to defend herself.
The bone soup on the table had been kept warm over a low flame and was still hot.
Lu Chiwan picked up the large pot of bone soup and directly splashed it out.
The two thugs were dazed by the sudden drenching.
Bang!
Seizing this opportunity, Wen Yunshen stood up, kicked one person down, and threw the other over his shoulder with a shoulder throw before locking the private room’s door and making a phone call.
The entire process took less than half a minute.
Lu Chiwan was still standing there holding the pot in a daze.
Wen Yunshen leaned against the wall for support, glancing back at her.
The handsome and gentle man now appeared somewhat disheveled, his entire left arm continuously bleeding, his clothes stained with blood.
Outside, there was chaos – the sound of kicking at the door mixed with the security guards’ angry shouts.
This restaurant was quite a famous upscale establishment, and the security guards had arrived relatively quickly.
Although the people outside had guns, now that they had alerted the restaurant staff, they wouldn’t dare to stay any longer.
Wen Yunshen caught his breath and reassured her, “It’s alright now. My people will be here soon. They probably won’t dare to stay much longer.”
“Oh, oh…”
Lu Chiwan still held onto the pot tightly, taking a step back while examining Wen Yunshen with full alertness, worried that he might be one of the bad guys too.
Wen Yunshen seemed to sense her thoughts and chuckled helplessly, “We just met an hour and a half ago, have you forgotten already?”
“Don’t worry, I’m not a bad person. I have a legitimate profession.”
“Who says bad people don’t have legitimate professions?”
“Don’t all the villains in TV dramas have legitimate jobs?”
Lu Chiwan retorted with one hand holding the pot while secretly reaching for her phone with the other.
“I’m a doctor.”
Wen Yunshen emphasized again.
“Even if you’re a doctor, you can’t… Oh oh oh, you’re that Professor Wen who specializes in andrology!”
Lu Chiwan finally realized, her eyes lighting up as she threw the pot aside with a clatter and rushed to support Wen Yunshen.
“Professor Wen, what happened? Did you fail to treat someone’s infertility and get targeted for revenge?”
Lu Chiwan suddenly became particularly enthusiastic, helping Wen Yunshen sit down while checking the door lock again before feeling somewhat relieved.
Wen Yunshen smiled wryly, “Probably something like that. I originally came here for a meal, but got ambushed right after going upstairs. I was injured and accidentally barged into your private room.”
He had actually planned to escape through the window from this private room, never expecting to encounter Lu Chiwan.
“Professor Wen, you…”
Before Lu Chiwan could finish, she received a call from A Xia.
“Young Madam, which room are you in? Something’s happened at the restaurant, all the guests are running out. Are you alright? I’m coming to find you.”
A Xia’s voice was filled with urgency, clearly worried about her.
Lu Chiwan quickly explained, “I’m fine, I’ll be downstairs soon. The criminals should have run away. Wait for me for a few minutes.”
After hanging up, she glanced at Wen Yunshen and asked, “Professor Wen, when will your people arrive? Do you need my help? My husband’s car is parked downstairs.”
“Your husband is here too?”
Wen Yunshen was taken aback.
Lu Chiwan shook her head, “No, it’s the family driver.”
“Oh, I was thinking since you helped me so much, if your husband were here, I could take his pulse for him.”
“…”
“Taking pulse?”
Lu Chiwan glanced at his continuously bleeding arm and fell into speechless silence.
If he didn’t get treatment soon, he might lose that arm, and he was still thinking about taking pulses.
However, thinking of Li Yanxing’s condition, Lu Chiwan lowered her voice and asked worriedly, “Professor Wen, since I’ve helped you, please be honest with me—what are the chances of my husband’s illness being cured?”
She was deeply concerned.
Li Yanxing wasn’t even thirty yet, but he had developed an impotence issue. If this continued, he might end up a eunuch for life.
“Actually…”
Just as Wen Yunshen was about to answer, a knock came from outside. “Young Master, are you in there?”
“Yes.”
Wen Yunshen responded and took out his phone. “Let’s exchange contact information. I’ll tell you more later.”
“You can ask me anything you want at any time in the future.”
“Don’t worry, as a doctor, I uphold basic professional ethics and will absolutely protect my patients’ privacy.”
“Great!”
Lu Chiwan’s eyes lit up, her lips curling into an unstoppable smile. Her bright, lovely face was clearly written with immense joy.
This was an expert others had to wait in long queues to see, and she had effortlessly secured the privilege of consulting him anytime!
“Professor Wen, you’re such a good person. I’ll pay the consultation fee according to the hospital rates every time I ask a question. Thank you so much.”
“Stay seated, I’ll get the door.”
Lu Chiwan hurried over to open the private room’s door.
Wen Yunshen’s subordinate was startled to see a young girl in the room.
“I’ll take my leave now, Professor Wen.”
Not wanting to involve herself in others’ affairs, Lu Chiwan grabbed Yao Meizhu’s things and quickly left.
Wen Yunshen stood up and walked to the window, glancing down. He soon spotted that graceful figure in white.
The young girl seemed to be in high spirits, chatting and laughing cheerfully with the female driver who had come to pick her up. Her smile was pure and clear.
He looked up at the sky—as blue and pristine as it had been all day.
“Young Master, your wound needs to be bandaged immediately.”
The bodyguard standing nearby felt helpless seeing his young master ignoring his bleeding arm while intently watching the young girl.
So many girls usually pursued the young master, yet he never showed any interest in any of them.
“Hmm.”
“Look into Young Master Li’s wife.”
Bodyguard: “?”
Wife?
Wife?
Wife?
The young master is interested in someone’s wife…
And it’s Young Master Li’s wife?
This could be troublesome.
“Young Mistress, are we heading back to Brocade Creek Bay now?”
A Xia started the car and asked.
Lu Chiwan rubbed her slightly full stomach, worried about gaining weight, and shook her head. “A Xia, I’d like to go to the mall for a stroll.”
“Alright.”
A Xia nodded.
She was responsible for taking care of Lu Chiwan’s daily needs and, in short, unless under special circumstances, she followed Lu Chiwan’s instructions.
They ended up shopping until evening.
Once Lu Chiwan entered the mall, she couldn’t stop herself. She visited seven or eight accessory stores in a row, picking out numerous small items.
Earrings, bracelets, necklaces, all kinds of hair accessories.
While carrying the bags, A Xia kindly reminded her, “Young Mistress, the jewelry counters are upstairs. You could go there.”
These were all cheap trinkets costing just a few dozen yuan—weren’t they too inexpensive?
“But these are pretty too.”
“I want to buy so much. If I go upstairs, I’m afraid I might bankrupt A Yan.”
Lu Chiwan insisted, so A Xia didn’t press further. While Lu Chiwan was busy selecting items, A Xia quietly reported the day’s itinerary to Lin Mu.
A Xia had been hired by Lin Mu.
To be precise, she was also considered Li Yanxing’s subordinate, responsible for both taking care of Lu Chiwan’s daily life and monitoring and protecting her.
Lin Mu glanced over the report—everything seemed normal, and Li Yanxing was aware of Yao Meizhu’s visit.
The only thing he didn’t know about was… the visit to the Andrology department.
Lin Mu felt this information was significant, so he reported it to Li Yanxing as soon as the meeting ended.
“Brother Yan, your wife went to the hospital today.”
Li Yanxing frowned. “Is she unwell?”
“Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
With that, he strode quickly toward the door. “Cancel tonight’s gathering—”
“Wait, she went to see an andrologist.”
Lin Mu hurriedly added.
Li Yanxing: “…”
That girl still refuses to give up.
He rubbed his temples, feeling irritated.
He thought he had dodged this issue, but now it seemed to be getting more complicated.
“Let’s go to Silver Charm tonight after all.”
Li Yanxing, who had initially planned to go home, changed his mind.
This was a personal gathering—a few brothers had invited him.
It was just the usual eating, drinking, and merrymaking, which held little appeal for him.
But the thought of returning to Brocade Creek Bay and facing that girl’s interrogation made him reconsider.
He figured it would be better to find a private room at Silver Charm and get some sleep.
At least that way, he wouldn’t have to deal with her scheming to sleep with him the moment he returned.
“Young Master Li, Fourth Young Master is waiting for you in the main hall.”
Silver Charm had seven floors in total.
The first floor was a bar—a vibrant scene of dazzling lights, lively music, and crowds of men and women enjoying themselves.
The pulsating beats assaulted the eardrums relentlessly, while on the dance floor, a group of enthusiastic partygoers swayed and danced wildly, completely lost in the moment.
Li Yanxing’s friends had secured a spot with the best view and were drinking while waiting for him.
When he arrived, three men and four women on the sofa all stood up.
“Brother Yan, it’s not easy to get you to come out! How many times have I invited you?”
The man in the middle squeezed through, patted Li Yanxing’s shoulder, and greeted him warmly.
This man was the most striking in appearance among the group, slightly younger than Li Yanxing, with a pair of particularly captivating peach blossom eyes.
He was Qi JinYan, the owner of Silver Charm—the most famous clubhouse in the southern city—also known as Fourth Young Master Qi, and a close brother of Li Yanxing.
He was the one who had organized tonight’s gathering. The others nearby smiled obsequiously and greeted, “Young Master Li.”
“I thought we were going to a private room?”
“What’s so interesting about staying here?”
Li Yanxing cast a disdainful glance at the gyrating crowd on the dance floor, and suddenly, a delicate, charming figure flashed through his mind.
As a result, his disdain for the dancers only intensified.
They were nowhere near as captivating as that girl—not even a single strand of her hair could be matched.
“Brother Yan, if you don’t like it, why are you still looking?”
Qi JinYan teased mischievously as he leaned closer.
A slightly younger man nearby, acting like a lackey, promptly took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Yanxing with both hands.
Then, he offered another to Qi JinYan.
This man was Han Ze, Qi JinYan’s sidekick and also quite familiar with Li Yanxing.
Li Yanxing continued to watch the women dancing on the stage, but his mind was fixated on Lu Chiwan.
He usually paid little attention to such scenes, but tonight, he felt an unusual urge to observe and compare—only to realize… there was simply no comparison.
Han Ze, ever perceptive, noticed Li Yanxing’s rare interest in the women and quickly pushed a scantily clad, curvaceous beauty toward him. “Go on, entertain Brother Yan properly.”
The beauty had been practically glued to Li Yanxing with her eyes since he arrived.
Seizing such a golden opportunity, she didn’t hesitate for a second and immediately moved to sit on Li Yanxing’s lap.
At that moment, Lu Chiwan was scrolling through her phone in the car.
She was watching a livestream from a beautiful streamer she often followed.
This young streamer had a unique style, and today’s livestream had abruptly shifted from a Sichuan restaurant to Silver Charm.
Livestreaming was prohibited at Silver Charm.
The streamer hid in a corner, secretly broadcasting, and the camera quickly panned across the scene.
“Li Yanxing!”
As it happened, the camera captured the exact moment a bold woman threw herself at Li Yanxing.
Though it was just a brief glimpse, too fleeting for the livestream viewers to clearly make out,
Lu Chiwan saw it clearly.
How could she not recognize him? That was her husband!
Furious, Lu Chiwan burst into tears on the spot, exited the livestream, and with trembling hands, called Li Yanxing.
Li Yanxing didn’t answer.
A moment later, he sent her a message: “Busy. Have business to discuss tonight. Go to bed early, be good.”
“Be good? Be good my foot!”
Bang!
Lu Chiwan slammed her hand hard against the passenger seat backrest, startling A Xia, who was driving. “Young Madam, what’s wrong?”
“A Xia, turn around. Head to Silver Charm!”
“Huh?”
A Xia was bewildered. “Young Madam, why are you going there?”
Through gritted teeth, Lu Chiwan spat out two words: “Catch him cheating!”
