Before Li Bingxue could finish speaking, several burly men disguised as street thugs, alerted by the news, rushed towards where Yasuo had parked his car like specters.
Without a word, Jun Dao, like an eagle grabbing a chick, swiftly bundled the defenseless Li Bingxue into the car and confiscated her phone, smartwatch, and other communication devices.
The night in the old district returned to its quietude.
The next morning, Chen Xiao was awakened by Jun Dao's phone call:
"Doctor Chen, may I ask if your girlfriend's name is Li Bingxue? According to her confession, under the manipulation of Lei Qingfeng and a Death God leader named Yasuo, she attempted to lure you out of Jishitang last night. Fortunately, I intervened in time, or the consequences would have been dire. However, the Dragon King has made his stance clear: if she is indeed your girlfriend, she will be released immediately upon signing a non-disclosure agreement..."
Hearing that Li Bingxue had tried to harm him first thing in the morning, Chen Xiao, even if made of clay, couldn't stand it. With his morning grumpiness, he interrupted Jun Dao without hesitation:
"Handle it by the book. I don't know her well."
Accompanied by a captivating perfume scent, Chen Xiao, who was pulling on his pants after hanging up the phone, was surprised by Song Nuan, dressed provocatively, tiptoeing into the room. The key Chen Qing had given her yesterday jingled softly in her hand.
Her fiery red lips parted slightly as she peeked into the room, her voice laced with seductive charm:
"Darling, the sun is already high. Hurry and get up for breakfast..."
Before she could finish, she was startled to see Chen Xiao, completely bare-chested, by the hospital bed, zipping up his pants. She froze on the spot, her delicately made-up, charming face instantly blushing to the roots of her ears.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that Chen Xiao, who appeared somewhat thin and slender when clothed, possessed such a perfect, masculine physique.
Of course, she didn't know that Chen Xiao's physique had transformed thanks to the mystical Great Dream Vajra Divine Art. But she was certain that Chen Xiao's body was the most perfect she had ever seen among the high-end male models and in fitness centers across various countries. For a fleeting moment, she even thought she was looking at the statue of the world-renowned David.
No! In her eyes, Chen Xiao's physique was perhaps even more perfect than David's!
The more she looked at Chen Xiao, the hotter her cheeks became, and her pounding heart leaped into her throat.
Prior to this, due to Chen Xiao's handsome appearance and incredible medical skills, she had indeed developed a slight liking for him, wanting to engage in some casual flirtation. But at this very moment, she clearly felt that she had fallen for Chen Xiao completely, revealing a shy demeanor towards her crush uncontrollably:
"I... I'm sorry, I... I didn't know you were getting dressed..."
Before she could finish, her face flushed and her heart racing, she fled the room as if escaping.
"I..."
Chen Xiao, almost caught in the buff, was also taken aback. By the time he reacted, Song Nuan had already vanished without a trace. He stood there, speechless, wanting to say something but unable to.
After getting dressed and going out, he saw the table laden with a variety of delicious-looking breakfast items. Song Nuan was about to throw away the packaging box for "Partridge Sky" from the trash can, and he couldn't help but laugh and cry:
"Miss Song the second, so your top-notch culinary skills, which my mother raves about, are all from takeaway from Partridge Sky..."
Song Nuan had been pretending for the whole day and was afraid that Chen Qing, still asleep in the inner room, would hear. Flustered, she quickly pounced in front of Chen Xiao, covering his mouth with her hand, and explained with a blushing face:
"I... I've rarely cooked since I was young, but... but I will definitely improve my cooking skills. I promise... I promise not to let my future husband and mother-in-law eat takeout every meal."
In just a short while, she had inexplicably put on a slightly knee-length, chic jacket. While it was more modest, her tall and sexy, perfect figure still swayed gracefully, exuding charm.
Smelling the faint, intoxicating fragrance on her fair fingers, Chen Xiao couldn't hold back any longer:
"Unless Miss Song the second compensates me for the loss of being seen without my clothes, I'll tell my mother..."
Suddenly, she tiptoed slightly and planted a fleeting, light kiss on Chen Xiao's cheek. Song Nuan, blushing, playfully chided him and interrupted:
"Is this compensation enough?"
With that, she quickly slipped into the ward where Chen Qing was recuperating:
"I... I'm going to wake up Aunt Qing for breakfast. You... you'd better not say anything out of line and contradict me later."
