Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 104 Not Worthy to Lick Feet

It was Zhang Yaqing. Chen Xiao scoffed and stubbed out his cigarette, his expression clearly annoyed.

Swaying her hips, Zhang Yaqing got out of the car and walked toward him on her high heels. She squatted down and teased, "My, such a big man and you’re still holding a grudge?"

"Am I that petty of a person?" Chen Xiao’s face flushed.

This woman took his prescription and vanished for days. To say he was angry was an overstatement, but he definitely felt a knot of resentment in his heart.

Zhang Yaqing explained, "The company has been incredibly busy these past few days. It’s all because the prescription you gave was so effective that everyone has been forcing me to work overtime. I’m starting to get dark circles under my eyes. So, really, it’s all your fault."

"Come on," she said, taking his arm and leading him inside. "Let me buy you a couple of drinks to cool you down."

She was well aware that Chen Xiao was just throwing a childish tantrum. Naturally, she was happy to see him this way; it meant he cared about her. Her push-and-pull tactic had already achieved results that satisfied her.

Chen Xiao was reluctantly dragged inside.

Zhang Yaqing sighed. "I have to meet a client today, and he’s a bit difficult. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to be my human shield, Mr. Chen."

"A human shield?" Chen Xiao muttered. Just then, he saw a slick, well-dressed young man with a faint smile on his face striding toward Zhang Yaqing.

"Miss Zhang, I’ve heard so much about you!" the young man greeted her, his eyes narrowed.

"The pleasure is all mine, Young Master Xu," Zhang Yaqing responded with a smile. With others, she might not have needed to be so polite, but the man before her was the son of the head of the Yuncheng Commerce Department. Many things she wanted were in his hands. Thus, she had to be courteous.

As they shook hands, Xu Baian savored the feel of her soft, delicate hand, completely unwilling to let go.

"Young Master Xu, shall we go inside?" Zhang Yaqing asked, subtly withdrawing her hand.

Xu Baian reluctantly pulled his hand back. His gaze fell upon Chen Xiao and the way Zhang Yaqing was clutching his arm, and a wave of irritation washed over him.

"And this is...?" he asked, glancing disdainfully at Chen Xiao.

"My friend," Zhang Yaqing replied.

Xu Baian’s tone was displeased. "Miss Zhang, this is supposed to be a private conversation. Isn’t it a bit inconvenient to bring an outsider? Besides, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry is qualified to sit at the same table as me."

"And what makes you think you’re worthy of sitting at the same table as me?" Chen Xiao retorted, glaring at him.

He really couldn’t stand these pretentious show-offs.

"Well, well, quite a temper," Xu Baian sneered. "A pathetic loser like you isn’t even worthy of licking my shoes!"

"I’d find your mouth too filthy even if you offered to lick my ass," Chen Xiao shot back with a cold smile.

Xu Baian was enraged, the veins on his neck bulging. "Do you have any idea who you’re talking to?!"

His father was the head of the Yuncheng Commerce Department, one of the most powerful figures in the city right after the City Lord! The Zhang Family? Zhang Yaqing? So what! They still had to be polite to him, didn’t they? Who did this little brat think he was? How dare he get tough with him? Besides, the City Lord’s son was one of his closest friends! This was his home turf! What right did this guy have to act so arrogantly?

"Miss Zhang, I really don’t like this guy. Are you going to ask him to leave, or should I?"

Zhang Yaqing frowned slightly. "Young Master Xu, this is my business partner. His presence is essential for this collaboration. If you really don’t want to discuss it now, we can always reschedule."

With that, she turned to leave, pulling Chen Xiao with her.

Seeing her act so decisively, Xu Baian was stunned. Was this guy really that important? Was Zhang Yaqing willing to offend him just to keep this man around?

"Wait!" Xu Baian couldn’t hold back any longer. "Since he’s a business partner, then bring him in. If he’s a bumpkin, so be it. I can tolerate it."

Zhang Yaqing glanced at Chen Xiao, asking for his opinion.

Chen Xiao asked, "Is this guy important?"

"Quite important," Zhang Yaqing admitted with a wry smile. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Fine. You owe me one," Chen Xiao said, reluctantly following them into the private room.

Soon, at Xu Baian’s command, the waitstaff brought out their best service package.

Xu Baian boasted with a smug smile, "Miss Zhang, this is a level of treatment that only a select few in all of Yuncheng, like Young Master Li and myself, can enjoy. Every single dish on this table is imported. This red wine is from Fuk Vineyard in France, something that only people like the City Lord can typically order in this restaurant."

"They’re making an exception today because of me."

Zhang Yaqing smiled. "As Minister Xu’s son, Young Master Xu certainly deserves such treatment."

Puffed up by the compliment, Xu Baian shot a smug glance at Chen Xiao.

Look at this bumpkin, completely stunned, right?

Xu Baian swirled the wine in his glass. "Our circle is a little different from the business world. So what if your family is wealthy? Compared to us, you’re still not quite on the same level." His words, while pretentious, were also a thinly veiled jab.

"I heard from Young Master Li that the City Lord is here today to entertain a guest of honor, a super big shot from Dragon Soul! If we get a chance later, I’ll take you over to offer a toast."

"Miss Zhang, although you have a high status, you rarely get the chance to meet someone of the City Lord’s caliber in a private setting, do you?"

Zhang Yaqing nodded slightly. "Then we’ll be counting on you, Young Master Xu."

Chen Xiao was speechless. This guy was an incredible show-off. However, the big shot Xu Baian mentioned was probably his senior martial sister, Leng Baiyu. That meant he, the head of the Special Operations Group, was also riding on Leng Baiyu’s coattails. After all, Leng Baiyu had said that in special situations, even the City Lord of Yuncheng would have to listen to his arrangements.
