"This tea is poorly made. You drink it," Wang Chenning said, not taking the cup. He ordered in a commanding tone, "Drink all of it, right in front of me!"
Yang Xiaodong’s joyous expression froze on his face.
’Son of a bitch! This is going too far!’ He was tempted to dump the scalding tea over Wang Chenning’s head.
But no matter what, he wouldn’t drink this cup of tea.
Just moments ago, while making the tea for Wang Chenning, he had spat in it.
Even if it was his own spit, drinking it would be disgusting.
’I’d probably puke up last night’s dinner.’
"If you don’t drink it, I’ll tell your grandfather and your sister about you spitting and wiping your snot in the teacup." Wang Chenning tapped his fingers lightly on the table, a cold smile on his face. "And I’ll have to reconsider whether or not I’ll treat your grandfather."
At Wang Chenning’s words, the color drained from Yang Xiaodong’s face.
In this family, Yang Xiaodong was most afraid of his grandfather and his older sister. His fear of Yang Xiaofei was probably even greater than his fear of his grandfather.
It was a form of familial dominance he simply couldn’t escape.
The two of them ganging up on him would probably result in a tragedy of hellish proportions.
What’s more, Wang Chenning was threatening to withhold his grandfather’s treatment if he didn’t comply.
If that really happened, quite a few members of the Yang family would want him dead by a thousand cuts.
"There’s nothing wrong with this tea. It’s a perfectly good cup. If you don’t trust it, I’ll drink it!" After weighing the pros and cons, Yang Xiaodong finally held his nose and drank the tea he had spat in.
After finishing it, he rushed to the bathroom.
The poor young master of the Yang family had already run to the bathroom four or five times during dinner.
After vomiting several times, Yang Xiaodong felt like he was half-dead. He didn’t dare provoke Wang Chenning again.
But Wang Chenning still wasn’t done with him. Only after ordering him to make tea three times and fetch fruit four times did he finally let him be.
Naturally, Yang Xiaodong’s resentment toward Wang Chenning deepened by several degrees.
When he got to his car, he took out his phone and made a call.
"Brother Chao, that country bumpkin absolutely humiliated me tonight! You have to get my dignity back for me." He roared excitedly into the phone, "He didn’t just humiliate me, he humiliated my sister and our entire Yang family! I want to tear him to pieces! I know you like my sister, and I think you’re the best candidate for my brother-in-law. As long as you help me get revenge and teach that hick from the sticks a lesson, I’ll make sure you become my brother-in-law. Okay, I’ll create an opportunity. I’ll treat you to tea then!"
The person Yang Xiaodong was calling was Li Mingchao, the young master from a prominent Yandu family who had been humiliated by Wang Chenning and Luo Yuqing. He was someone Yang Xiaodong greatly admired.
That evening, Yang Xiaofei had important matters to attend to. She also needed to wait for her grandfather, Yang Liansheng, to wake up so she could discuss something with him.
Therefore, after Wang Chenning had rested, she had her assistant, Lv Qinglan, take him home.
"Sis, let me take my brother-in-law home!" Yang Xiaofu, who had been hiding out of sight, heard Yang Xiaofei explaining to Wang Chenning why she didn’t have time to take him home herself and quickly volunteered. "I’m heading back to school anyway, so I can give my brother-in-law a ride!"
Yang Xiaofu’s repeated use of "brother-in-law" made both Wang Chenning and Yang Xiaofei uncomfortable.
In the end, Yang Xiaofei accepted Yang Xiaofu’s suggestion and let her younger sister take Wang Chenning back to the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Wang Chenning knew Yang Xiaofu had something to say to him, so he didn’t refuse her offer.
"Did you need something from me?" Wang Chenning asked, turning his head toward Yang Xiaofu after the car had left the villa. "You were avoiding me today. I thought you were pretending not to know me!"
"My grandfather, my dad, and a few of my uncles were hosting you. A junior like me can only stay on the sidelines." Yang Xiaofu also turned her head to look at Wang Chenning, a strange light glinting in her beautiful, large eyes. "I heard from Yang Xiaodong that you don’t like my sister and want to call off the engagement?"
Wang Chenning didn’t answer, asking instead, "If it were you, would you accept an engagement forcibly arranged by your elders?"
Yang Xiaofu replied with a sly look, "That depends on who they arranged for me. If he’s incredibly handsome and outstanding, then I’d accept!"
Wang Chenning: "..."
"Alright, alright, I’ll stop prying into your business!" Yang Xiaofu said as she drove. "Didn’t you say last time that you’d give me another conditioning treatment after my period ended? How could you forget?"
Wang Chenning gave a helpless smile. "Alright. So you offering me a ride was just an excuse to get me to give you a treatment?"
"You’re staying in the expert dormitory at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, right?"
"Yes!"
"My school is nearby. I don’t live on campus; I have a place outside. Why don’t you come to my place tonight to give me the conditioning treatment?" As she said this, a blush rose on Yang Xiaofu’s face. Her hands on the steering wheel grew a little stiff, and her heart began to beat much faster than usual.
"Alright!" Wang Chenning thought for a moment and agreed. "I happen to have my treatment kit with me, so I won’t have to go back and get it."
Half an hour later, Yang Xiaofu brought Wang Chenning to her own apartment—a high-end, tastefully decorated three-bedroom unit.
"It’s not as nice as my sister’s place, so don’t mind it!" Yang Xiaofu said with a playful tone after leading Wang Chenning inside. "Why don’t you have a seat for a bit? I’m going to take a shower. I worked up a sweat today, and I’m afraid I’ll stink!"
"Okay!" Wang Chenning nodded in agreement. "Shower and change into some loose-fitting clothes. It’ll be less of a hassle."
"Mm!" Face slightly red, Yang Xiaofu went to get a change of clothes.
About twenty minutes later, Yang Xiaofu poked her head out of her room. "I’m ready. You can come in!"
Hearing her, Wang Chenning got up from the sofa and walked toward Yang Xiaofu’s room.
After Yang Xiaofu followed his instructions and lay down on the bed, an indescribable sense of temptation washed over him.
Wang Chenning had to take a few deep breaths.
"Today, I’m planning to perform acupuncture on several points on your lower abdomen and chest," Wang Chenning asked Yang Xiaofu in a low voice. "It’s quite a few spots to needle, but the results will definitely be excellent. If you’re not comfortable with it, I can do what I did last time, but the effects will be much weaker."
"You’re the doctor. I’ll listen to you," Yang Xiaofu said shyly, her pretty face flushed red. "Whatever you think is best. I hope to get the best possible results from this treatment. I’m not one to avoid the doctor!"
As she spoke, she shifted her body and pulled at her nightgown.
The incredibly shy Yang Xiaofu, fresh from her bath, was already alluring enough. This gesture, in particular, sent Wang Chenning’s hormones into overdrive...
