Chen Xiao smelled the faint scent of peaches emanating from Zhou Wanrong at such close range, his old face flushing slightly.
"You... you scoundrel!"
Zhou Wanrong's fur completely bristled. Disregarding the possibility of losing control of the steering wheel at any moment, she made a move to twist and struggle, like a beautiful snake.
But then, she felt the warmth of Chen Xiao's palm as if it were a hot compress on her lower abdomen. Her lower back, where he had touched, also felt warm, and her abdominal pain gradually lessened. Her body felt light, as if she had just taken a breath of oxygen, and she was stunned into silence.
Noticing that Zhou Wanrong's complexion was rapidly regaining its rosy hue, Chen Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked with concern:
"Deputy Director Zhou, are you feeling better?"
Zhou Wanrong's eyes, nose, and mouth were all focused on driving. Instead of answering, she asked a question, her tone still cold:
"Don't I have a name?"
Chen Xiao was slightly taken aback and quickly corrected himself:
"Zhou... Sister Zhou..."
Rolling her eyes repeatedly, Zhou Wanrong corrected him coldly:
"Do I look that old? Call me Wanrong!"
"What?"
Chen Xiao was stunned again, then shook his head repeatedly:
"No, no, no! Wanrong... Sister Wanrong, after all, you are my supervising teacher, and you are three years older than me..."
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed Zhou Wanrong's beautiful eyes grow colder and immediately retracted his hand in fright.
"You..."
Zhou Wanrong felt a strange sense of loss and hesitated to speak. Her beautiful eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, but she concealed it well, saying matter-of-factly:
"Why did you stop suddenly? Continue massaging, I'm in so much pain!"
As she spoke, she even puffed out her chest.
Chen Xiao nodded repeatedly and placed his hand on Zhou Wanrong's abdomen again. The mysterious wordless golden formula in his mind spun rapidly, and his Wugou Bone Setting technique became more proficient. He gradually became engrossed, losing himself in the process, to the point where he didn't even notice which places Zhou Wanrong had driven past.
After an unknown period of time, Zhou Wanrong, whose heart had been pounding uncontrollably, stopped the car at the entrance of the "Born Beautiful" beauty salon. She then pretended to be indifferent, opened the door, and got out, saying without looking back:
"Wait in the car for a moment, I'm going inside to pick up a friend."
Thinking of Bai Jing's intention to purchase the secret formula for the White Jade Emerald Cream, Chen Xiao couldn't help but be curious about the scale of the "Born Beautiful" beauty salon. Seeing Zhou Wanrong about to enter the establishment not far away, he couldn't resist opening the door and chasing after her:
"Sister Wanrong, I'll accompany you."
"This..."
Glancing at the security guard at the entrance, Zhou Wanrong looked somewhat troubled:
"Born Beautiful is a membership-based high-end private beauty salon, only allowing annual cardholders in and out. You don't need to get an annual membership card worth tens of thousands just to accompany me inside, do you? Unless..."
Before she could finish speaking, Zhou Wanrong suddenly shook her head as if mocking herself:
"You'd better wait in the car. Here are the car keys."
Chen Xiao was unwilling to give up and asked:
"Unless what?"
The security guard, the first to see Chen Xiao get out of Zhou Wanrong's car, had already been secretly jealous. Seeing Zhou Wanrong actually hand the car keys to Chen Xiao, his jealousy intensified, and he interjected sarcastically:
"Unless you have our Boss Bai's private business card!"
Zhou Wanrong heard the security guard intentionally making things difficult for Chen Xiao, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed. She quickly explained to Chen Xiao in a low voice:
"Chen Xiao, I heard that the boss of Born Beautiful rarely gives out her private business card. After all, having her private business card allows you to enjoy all the beauty services of Born Beautiful for free..."
"Really?"
Chen Xiao was suspicious and quickly took out the exquisite business card Bai Jing had given him:
"Sister Wanrong, is this it?"
The security guard was shocked, his face filled with awe. Zhou Wanrong couldn't help but exclaim:
"You... how do you have it?"
Chen Xiao explained nonchalantly:
"She wanted to buy my unique secret formula, so she gave me this."
"This..."
Zhou Wanrong's expression became even more exaggerated. She racked her brain but couldn't figure out what unique secret formula Chen Xiao possessed that the Born Beautiful beauty salon would be interested in.
The security guard, who had been looking down on them earlier, quickly bowed and scraped like a pug, saying:
"Esteemed sir, beautiful lady, welcome to our establishment!"
As he spoke, he quickly called for a beautiful waitress to attend to them.
Jingling the exquisite business card in his hand, Chen Xiao sneered:
"Aren't you going to check if the business card is genuine? What if I forged it?"
The security guard lowered his head, trembling, and smiled apologetically:
"Esteemed sir, you jest. I am just a doorman, how dare I question your identity?"
The beautiful waitress who hurried over also cautiously invited Chen Xiao and Zhou Wanrong inside, not daring to breathe heavily the entire time.
Soon, Chen Xiao and Zhou Wanrong were led to the door of the beauty room where Zheng Youen was located. From the slightly ajar door came heart-wrenching screams:
"Ah—it hurts so much—Dr. William—is your medicine really okay—I'm in so much pain—ah—"
"Youen!"
Recognizing her best friend Zheng Youen's voice, Zhou Wanrong was instantly terrified, her face drained of color. Chen Xiao, with his benevolent medical heart, did not hesitate and burst through the door.
