Chapter 618 Discussion of the Condition
Xu Xiangbei held Hu Qingyu and was just about to leave the room when he heard the "clack... clack..." sound, the crisp sound of high heels striking the floor.
Looking over, he saw a woman with a complexion like peach blossoms, a waist like a slender willow, and a pair of phoenix eyes. Her delicate features made her look like the embodiment of both angel and devil. She wore a pink mid-length fashion trench coat, exuding an innate noble elegance, with black five-inch high heels.
Two female bodyguards followed behind her, wearing black sunglasses and light blue casual clothes. However, each of these women exerted no less pressure on Xu Xiangbei than the scarred men.
"What’s going on? What happened," the moment the woman arrived, she saw the scarred man and a group of bodyguards lying on the ground. Her face showed a surprised expression, but she quickly disguised it and then looked at Li Jie to ask.
"Oh, it’s nothing, just having a little showdown with them," Xu Xiangbei spoke first before Li Jie could say anything.
He gradually extended his hands, and before Xu Wanqing could react, he stepped forward and held her alabaster-like hands: "Hello, Miss Xu Wanqing, it’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Xu Xiangbei."
He continued to lovingly caress her hands, as white as snow.
"Let go!" Xu Wanqing’s face turned slightly red, she said coldly. Li Jie, standing beside Xu Xiangbei, was already sweating nervously, as Xu Wanqing was seen by many as an ice beauty, even a thorny rose that shouldn’t be touched. Until now, he hadn’t seen any man touch Xu Wanqing’s hand except Xu Xiangbei.
"Oh... I’m so delighted to see Miss Xu that I temporarily forgot myself!" Xu Xiangbei reluctantly retracted his hand, still sniffing it by his nose, and commented: "So fragrant."
Xu Wanqing glared at Xu Xiangbei and through clenched teeth said, "Don’t you want your hand?"
"I can offer it to you, really. Not just this hand; you can have all of me," Xu Xiangbei smirked wickedly.
Xu Wanqing didn’t bother with Xu Xiangbei, turned to look at Li Jie, and inquired about the specifics of what had happened.
Xu Xiangbei stood at one side, not uttering a single word but sizing up Xu Wanqing meticulously, with a gaze suggesting that he’s ready to devour her like a lamb ready for slaughter.
"Alright, I understand what’s going on. Since this is a personal vendetta between Mr. Xu and President Huang, we won’t interfere!"
Xu Wanqing paused and continued addressing Xu Xiangbei and Huang Shiyong, "However, to express our apologies, tonight all expenses that President Huang and Mr. Xu incur at our KTV will be free."
"We’re all here to have fun, no need to make things awkward—the most important thing is to enjoy ourselves!"
"Clap... clap... clap..." Xu Xiangbei started applauding, "As expected of the general manager of Jinshang KTV, she knows how to handle things—not just beautiful like a flower, but also smart and wise."
Xu Wanqing’s expression remained unchanged upon hearing Xu Xiangbei’s compliment. She had heard such flattering remarks countless times before. However, Xu Xiangbei’s next comment made her instantly furious.
"She is simply the perfect choice for a wife. I wonder if General Manager Xu has ever considered me? I, Xu Xiangbei, am handsome and charming, able to strategize in literature and lead in warfare, possessing both wisdom and allure, talent and virtue in equal measure..." As Xu Xiangbei continued promoting himself endlessy.
Xu Wanqing waved her hand to interrupt him, "Enough, I understand, Mr. Xu is excellent, but because you are too outstanding, I actually feel like I can’t match up to you. I’m merely a woman without talent or virtue, how could I possibly deserve someone as excellent as you?" She emphasized the word ’excellent,’ inwardly cursing Xu Xiangbei for his shamelessness.
Xu Xiangbei discerned the underlying meaning of her words but didn’t care. Instead, he responded earnestly: "It’s okay, I won’t dislike you. If you feel you can’t be my wife, you could be my concubine. By the way, I have quite a few wives already. Sigh, being outstanding really leaves no choice!" Xu Xiangbei sighed deeply as if dealing with a huge problem, dissatisfied with his own excellence.
Xu Wanqing was rendered speechless by his words, her face flushed red with anger, at a loss for how to retort as she angrily turned to leave.
Li Jie, on the side, was nearly stunned. Xu Wanqing, experienced in the business world, having seen all sorts of situations, was rendered speechless after just a few sentences from Xu Xiangbei.
Xu Xiangbei stepped forward, held her hand, and hurriedly said: "Don’t leave so quickly; we could get to know each other more. Who knows, you might discover more of my merits and become irresistibly attracted to me."
Xu Wanqing was truly angry, lifting her leg to kick towards Xu Xiangbei’s lower region, yet Xu Xiangbei turned, pulled her into an embrace, leaving her face red—partly from shame, partly from anger.
As she was about to instruct her two female bodyguards to teach Xu Xiangbei a lesson, Xu Xiangbei whispered something in her ear that left her dumbfounded.
"You’re having menstrual irregularities." Xu Xiangbei blew gently in her ear, whispering.
Xu Wanqing’s mind went blank; this was her little secret, known only to herself and the doctors she’d visited. These doctors were of high reputation and wouldn’t disclose patients’ secrets, and she had paid a lot to keep things under wraps.
"You investigated me?" Her voice was icy, as if from Hell, instantly freezing the surrounding atmosphere.
"Forgot to tell you, my other identity is a doctor—I can bring people back from the brink, specializing in menstrual irregularities," Xu Xiangbei continued whispering in her ear, pleasantly inhaling the fragrance from her hair.
"You..." Xu Wanqing shook off his hands, pointing at him wanting to say something but swallowing the words.
"Don’t doubt me. I’ve already checked your pulse when I held your hand earlier! Do you experience severe lower abdomen pain twice a month, feeling like being pricked by needles, with extreme cold alternating with extreme heat, almost like Purgatory? But it only lasts about half an hour, and usually occurs around one or two in the morning." Xu Xiangbei smirked, confidently revealing his understanding.
"How do you know?" Xu Wanqing was astonished, Xu Xiangbei’s account of her symptoms was precise, almost as if he understood her better than she did.
"I’m a miracle-working doctor, far superior to ordinary doctors, aren’t I? I believe you’ve consulted almost every doctor in Jiangcheng, maybe even reached out to famous doctors in Yanjing? Yet nothing worked out, right?" Xu Xiangbei continued.
"Yes!" At this point, Xu Wanqing seemed to be hit where it hurt, unable to do anything but follow his train of thought, even starting to believe Xu Xiangbei.
"Do you think this place is appropriate for discussing medical issues?" Xu Xiangbei looked around.
"Follow me to my office! Everyone else, attend to your tasks," Xu Wanqing told Li Jie, then led Xu Xiangbei and Hu Qingyu, along with her two female bodyguards, to the fifth-floor office.
"Miss Hu, could you step out for a moment? I have a private matter to discuss with Mr. Xu." Xu Wanqing smiled at Hu Qingyu, looking like peach blossoms.
"Alright, I’ll wait for you outside," Hu Qingyu said, then walked into the outer lounge.
"You two can leave as well!" Following that, Xu Wanqing turned to instruct the two female bodyguards.
"General Manager?" The two female bodyguards looked at Xu Xixiang, a guarded expression on their faces.
"Don’t worry, I have it under control. Go entertain Miss Hu!"
"Alright then," the two bodyguards reluctantly agreed, and exited, closing the door.
