Yu Se faintly heard the surname Xiao. Although various wealthy family forces were hidden throughout Longcheng, being able to tie into a familiar surname—
Yu Se’s first thought was Xiao Lin.
However, Xiao Lin already had a little delicate wife eagerly awaiting pregnancy; it was probably not this person.
Sitting to the side, Feng Cheng wore a deep gaze and couldn’t help asking, “May I ask, Uncle, which member of the Xiao family is it?”
To speak so audaciously, reaching such a level of arrogance and disregard for others as to treat the renowned Feng family like a marriage matchmaking vegetable market, leaving it entirely up to someone surnamed Xiao to pick and choose!
It was impossible to tell what kind of emotion Feng Yinchen’s tone held. In any case, he always loved speaking with a sharp and biting edge; no matter how pleasant the words sounded, they still carried a spicy flavor.
He said, “It is Xiao Junyao, the head of the Xiao family.”
The moment this name was spoken, the atmosphere inside the entire car cabin instantly froze.
Xiao Junyao, the current head of the Xiao family.
The name Xiao Junyao was no simple matter. He was a resounding figure throughout all of Longcheng, holding heavy power and possessing immeasurable wealth.
He was indeed even more formidable than the Feng family.
Seeing Feng Cheng fall silent for a brief moment, Yu Se immediately guessed that the head of the Xiao family must be a formidable character.
He couldn’t help feeling a bit of regret that he had miscalculated his judgment back then. Had he known Xiao Lin’s uncle was this powerful, he would have directly asked Xiao Lin for help at the time.
Now that the long-term cooperation contract had already been signed, wanting to back out at this point was probably far too late.
Feng Yinchen broke the silence by asking, “Is Doctor Yu by your side?”
Feng Cheng replied, “Yes.”
The moment his gaze crossed paths with Yu Se, it was as if he were pondering why the other person had suddenly brought up Yu Se’s name.
To this household, Yu Se was merely a surface-level family doctor, just like the special chefs and fitness coaches hired by the family.
Feng Yinchen said, “I’ll handle the Xiao family’s matter. Call Yu Se back.”
After hanging up the call, Feng Cheng said, “Uncle has never been an active person. You’re going over there shortly, so you should know how to speak, right?”
Yu Se replied, “I will strictly maintain confidentiality regarding the Third Young Master’s pregnancy, and it will never be probed out.”
Feng Cheng nodded, dropping him off and driving away after letting him out of the car.
Yu Se stood in place, bouncing the medical box in his hand slightly. He thought to himself that working for the wealthy was indeed trivial, but for the sake of Bai Fan’s hiding place, the hospital finding a new backer, and his ability to continue clinical research, everything could be tolerated.
This time Yu Se had learned to be smart. He asked Butler Jin for a route map of the estate, memorized it thoroughly, and guaranteed he wouldn’t get lost again before walking briskly toward the family head’s separate building.
Clearly, the interior architectural style Feng Yinchen favored was even more luxurious.
After all, beauties go well with beautiful scenery; a luxurious architectural style could better set off Feng Yinchen’s extraordinary temperament and elegant taste.
Yu Se accurately knocked on the door of Feng Yinchen’s bedroom, hearing the other person give a prompt response.
“Why so slow.”
It wasn’t an inquiring tone, yet it couldn’t exactly be called a reprimand either.
Pushing the door open while lowering his gaze in a submissive manner, Yu Se walked inside and explained indifferently, “I familiarized myself with the route map of the estate first to avoid getting lost again.”
Yu Se intentionally used the word again to subtly prod the other person.
I am not foolish enough to think what happened last night was a dream.
Yu Se instinctively clenched his palms; the sensation of that ice-cold, fierce weapon pressing against his palm was vivid enough to be unforgettable.
Especially since there were two of them.
Right, Yu Se retorted mentally, you also released a snake to bite my neck.
However, his demeanor remained indifferent, showing absolutely no clues whatsoever, including his internal complaints.
Feng Yinchen’s voice sounded as if it were coming from a distance, carrying a rare laziness as he said, “Indeed, the idiots in this family are simply too numerous. Having a few more clever people like Doctor Yu come to work will truly make people’s emotions a bit more peaceful.”
What?
He wasn’t answering me at all, he was actually praising me?!
Suspiciously, Yu Se raised his head, only to see Feng Yinchen still wearing that emerald-green silk bathrobe from the morning, standing in front of the jewelry cabinet selecting a wristwatch.
Compared to his jaw-dropping beauty in the morning, Feng Yinchen’s back was actually even more perfect. His narrow, slender waist divided his physique into a perfect golden ratio, particularly with his perky buttocks forming a picturesque landscape with his waistline.
Even though Yu Se was a desireless doctor who had never experienced any physical desires, he still couldn’t help marveling at this moment.
These buttocks are so asking to be spanked!
What surprised Yu Se even more was that Feng Yinchen was actually taller than him?!
Every time he saw the peerless beauty before him, Yu Se had been completely captivated by the other person’s flawless face, failing to notice at all that the other person’s stature was a full head taller than his own.
If anyone else possessed a beauty’s face alongside a towering frame, it would probably look exceptionally unharmonious.
Yet these two conditions merged within Feng Yinchen and were completely sublimated, resembling a match made in heaven that left people unable to pick out a single flaw.
Silently, Yu Se once more gave Feng Yinchen’s appearance a full score in his heart. Excluding those two terrifying dicks, Feng Yinchen would be the prime candidate for the moon in Yu Se’s ocean and the person in his heart.
Feigning composure, Yu Se said, “May I ask where Mr. Feng feels uncomfortable? Do you need me to come take a look for you?”
Having selected an emerald-jade wristwatch that happened to echo the green of his eyes, Feng Yinchen said, “I want to go meet the head of the Xiao family today to discuss marriage matters; having a doctor present is better.”
With that, without specifically looking at Yu Se, he extended his hand toward the bed, and the small black snake coiled among the bedsheets lazily climbed up his arm.
If it were a little puppy or a Persian cat, Yu Se would probably prefer it more.
Just thinking about how this snake followed its owner, one pressing down upon his body, the other biting his neck, made Yu Se unable to like it.
Moreover, Yu Se was utterly baffled as to why a doctor like him needed to be present when the Feng and Xiao families met to discuss a marriage alliance.
Could it be out of fear that a fight would break out?
Probably not. After all, they were both respectable people.
While his mind was wandering, Feng Yinchen had already put on a white three-piece tailored suit, walking gracefully and charmingly up to Yu Se. Fluttering his emerald-green eyes, he smiled alluringly and said, “Kept you waiting, Doctor Yu, let’s go.”
Fascinated by his suddenly enlarged face and smile, akin to a traveler who had never tasted meat suddenly presented with a lavish imperial feast, Yu Se realized this was his habitual trap: weaponized beauty. Subconsciously taking half a step back, he offered the courtesy: “You flatter me, please lead the way, Mr. Feng.”
Feng Yinchen no longer forced the matter, simply casting a calm glance at the snakebite marks tightly wrapped within the collar of Yu Se’s shirt. Stretching out a finger to stroke the head of the little black snake, he took the lead in walking out the door.
Yu Se silently warned himself not to obsess over appearances anymore and to pay more attention to boundaries. Therefore, during the car ride, he sat in the front passenger seat and did not share the rear cabin with Feng Yinchen.
Throughout the drive, Feng Yinchen chose to close his eyes and rest. His beloved little snake wasn’t mischievous either, neatly pressing its head close against its master’s cheek.
There was an eerie sense of interdependence to it.
Looking through the rearview mirror, Yu Se took in this bizarre scene of a beauty and a snake sleeping together.
He reflected once again that being born beautiful brought many benefits; sleeping while hugging a branch could be praised as a beauty’s spring slumber, while hugging a snake could also be lauded as dancing with spiritual creatures. The beauty of this world always seemed to be exceptionally lenient toward the good-looking.
After about a two-hour drive, they finally arrived at Tiansheng Tower, the venue agreed upon with the Xiao family.
Yu Se prepared to get out of the car and open the door for the beauty. After all, having decided to latch onto this big shot’s coattails for the future, he still needed to be quick-witted and helpful.
Feng Yinchen, who appeared to be asleep, suddenly spoke in an indifferent tone, “Doctor Yu, you only need to follow me.”
Hearing this, the driver immediately got out, first opening Yu Se’s car door and carefully shielding the doctor with his hand before hurriedly going to open the door for the family head.
Thinking about it, Yu Se figured that if Feng Yinchen was an emperor, his current identity was that of an imperial physician. Although he was also serving people, he couldn’t steal the eunuch’s job.
Feng Yinchen rarely brought bodyguards when going out, so Yu Se felt quite relaxed. Carrying his medical kit, he followed behind like a tiger striding through a forest as they walked into the restaurant.
The people from the Xiao family were also considered low-key; aside from the two bodyguards stationed at the entrance, they hadn’t brought many people along.
Feng Yinchen was respectfully invited to enter the Heavenly Grade private dining room, where two people sat before a massive dining table.
One was Yu Se’s acquaintance, Xiao Lin, while the other was the actual mastermind pulling strings behind the scenes for the Xiao family, Xiao Junyao.
Yu Se had privately assumed Xiao Lin’s appearance was handsome and bold, until seeing his elder, Xiao Junyao, who turned out to be an even more mature and handsome man with thick eyebrows and large eyes, exuding an air of righteousness, definitely a serious, earnest, and resolute type.
Xiao Junyao and Feng Yinchen looked completely different, but both possessed the aura of someone in a position of authority, impossible for anyone to overlook.
The moment Xiao Lin caught sight of Yu Se, Yu Se flashed him a smile with a quick reaction, implying that he was currently working, so please understand.
Since Xiao Lin was accustomed to the business world, there was no need for him to proactively greet the other person just to prove he was intimately familiar with a mere doctor.
Furthermore, Yu Se following Feng Yinchen through the door also held certain hidden benefits in the dark.
Acting as the junior among the four present, Xiao Lin took the initiative to introduce to his own family’s uncle: “This is Mr. Feng Yinchen, the chairman of Hongji Traffic and Engineering Corporation.”
Traffic and Engineering Corporation?!
Yu Se was directly shocked by these four words. This represented the investment, construction, and operational management of express highways, cross-river bridges, railways, and other transportation infrastructure both inside and outside Longcheng, all controlled by the Feng family!
Thinking of the tolls he paid for the roads he traveled and the subway fares he paid for the subways he took, a portion of which ultimately flowed back to the Feng family’s Hongji Group, Yu Se instantly felt that even if the person he was serving wasn’t a real emperor, he was still a flesh-and-blood local emperor!
Following the simple introduction by Xiao Lin, Xiao Junyao, who sat upright, seemed entirely unmoved, instead saying indifferently to his nephew, “Step outside first. I’ll discuss this matter with Mr. Feng myself.”
The implication was that Yu Se could not stay either.
Thus, carrying his medical kit, Yu Se walked out of the room alongside Xiao Lin and closed the door behind them.
Only then did Yu Se proactively greet the backer, saying, “The little madam’s August prenatal checkup is coming up. Do I need to pay a home visit tonight?”
Xiao Lin’s thoughts seemed tied up inside the room. Once he completely processed Yu Se’s words, he responded in a dazed tone, “Huh? Oh.”
“Yan Yan’s prenatal checkup.”
Xiao Lin seemed deeply concerned with Xiao Junyao’s marriage alliance issue. His gaze unconsciously pierced through the closed door, as if he could penetrate that wooden barrier to see Feng Yinchen and the straight-backed Xiao Junyao inside.
Yu Se could largely understand this sense of tension.
Interests among wealthy families were complex and intertwined; adding one more heir had a subtle impact on equity distribution and the division of power.
It was just that Xiao Junyao wasn’t choosing anyone else, opting instead to directly seek a marriage alliance with the Feng family, and as everyone knew, all three young masters of the Feng family were male.
Wait, males could also get pregnant in this melodramatic world, especially since Third Young Master Feng Zhile already had a situation on his hands.
Could it be!
Yu Se’s heart leaped uncontrollably without reason.
Could it be that Xiao Junyao might also take a fancy to Feng Yinchen?!
Without knowing what kind of feeling this was, even though he felt these two strong players joining forces would also be great, Yu Se still felt hollow at the bottom of his heart.
Until the heavy private room door opened, revealing a leisurely-looking Feng Yinchen.
Yu Se stared into his face, feeling very calm and tranquil.
Then, with supreme venom, Feng Yinchen dropped a sentence on Yu Se: “Did you prepare quick-acting heart-saving pills in your medical kit? The person inside might need to take some.”
