Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 135 - Wei Zihuan
"Okay," Luo Qingli nodded, but an indescribable emotion rose within her. She remembered the agreement they had made earlier. After Chen Xiao helped her accomplish three things, would their connection really come to an end? For a moment, the atmosphere grew strangely awkward. Chen Xiao collected himself, then went downstairs to wash up and eat.
Xu Yanran was sitting in the living room and gave Chen Xiao a strange look when he came down. Chen Xiao touched his nose awkwardly. Despite his thick skin, he also felt uncomfortable about what had happened the night before.
Xu Yanran said sarcastically, "You don’t look like someone who’s injured."
Chen Xiao responded nonchalantly, "I may have some minor injuries, but my basic functions are still there."
Xu Yanran huffed and turned her face away. When she interrupted their intimate moment yesterday, she’d felt an emptiness inside after leaving their room—a touch of sourness, and even a bit of jealousy. This inexplicable feeling had scared her. But what right did she have to be jealous? Chen Xiao and Luo Qingli were a legally married couple. What was she? Ever since she found out Chen Xiao was Chen Yanzu, she hadn’t admitted it, but a trace of inexplicable affection had taken root in her heart. Deep down, however, she knew she shouldn’t harbor such inappropriate thoughts about Luo Qingli’s husband. Xu Yanran, oh Xu Yanran, you must be truly desperate to actually have feelings for this guy! She wished she could slap herself a hundred times to wake herself up. But can emotions truly be controlled by reason? A bitter feeling washed over her.

On the top floor of the Zhang Group headquarters, inside the CEO’s office, Zhang Yaqing sat ramrod straight at her desk. She was dressed in professional black business attire, her long legs clad in silk stockings, and her eyes were intently fixed on her computer screen.
She was now starting to prepare for the development of the two medicinal formulas Chen Xiao had given her. With the resounding success of the Nourishing Facial Cream as a precedent, she had absolute confidence in Chen Xiao’s abilities.
Her thoughts and ambitions were similar to Luo Qingli’s. First, she would conquer the domestic market, dominating it completely before laying the groundwork for overseas expansion.
She, too, had thought of the new port in Yuncheng City. It was a crucial gateway for international trade. If she could get a foothold there, it would bring immense convenience and benefits for any future overseas exports, regardless of the industry.
As her mind drifted, the door to her office was suddenly flung open. A tall young man clad in black strode in with a defiant smile. He had a scar at the corner of his eye, and his irises were small, showing the whites beneath them, which added a ferocious glint to his otherwise handsome face.
Seeing the young man, Zhang Yaqing immediately narrowed her eyes. "Wei Zihuan, you have some nerve, daring to barge in here. Aren’t you afraid I’ll have someone kill you on the spot?"
Wei Zihuan laughed uproariously. "Yaqing, we haven’t seen each other for so many years. Why are you screaming for my blood the moment we meet?"
He gave a mocking smile and shrugged. "The security here is too weak. They couldn’t stop me."
With that, he flopped into the chair opposite Zhang Yaqing with an arrogant air and lit a cigarette.
Zhang Yaqing frowned and immediately called the security department to have him thrown out.
Wei Zihuan grinned. "I told you, I’ve already taken them all down."
His face suddenly loomed close to hers. "You don’t seem very happy to see me back, do you?"
"Not only am I not happy, I’m disgusted." Thinking about what Wei Zihuan had done in the past made her feel nauseated. He was lucky that Zhang Zongheng had let him off with his life back then.
Wei Zihuan sneered, "I did so much for the Zhang Family, and how did they treat me? That old man crippled one of my legs and threw me out like a dog. I struggled for years on the outside, but I’ve finally made a comeback! This time, I’ll make every last member of the Zhang Family regret what they did to me."
Zhang Yaqing said coldly, "The Zhang Family never wronged you. We gave you the dividends you deserved, but your greed was insatiable. You ran illegal businesses on our turf and even skimmed from the family’s accounts! You’re an ungrateful traitor."
Wei Zihuan’s voice grew hoarse. "This world is survival of the fittest. Your family was foolish, which gave me an opening. Your family was full of false benevolence, which is why you let me go and gave me this chance to come back."
"Now, your Zhang Family, this old clan that has lorded over Yuncheng City for decades, is nothing to me, Wei Zihuan. Zhang Yaqing, I’ll give you a chance. If you willingly spread your legs and submit to me, I might spare the Zhang Family. How about it?"
Wei Zihuan suddenly gripped Zhang Yaqing’s chin, his eyes glinting with a sick, obsessive fervor. He had grown up in the Zhang Family, but he was always just an outsider living on their charity. Zhang Yaqing, on the other hand, was the revered young miss of the family, showered in glory—an existence he could only long for but never reach. Until the day he was expelled, he wasn’t even worthy of looking her in the eye! But now, everything was different. Wei Zihuan was successful, with his own backers. The Zhang Family meant nothing to him, and Zhang Yaqing, the once-untouchable goddess, had lost her sacred aura in his eyes. His desire to possess her now was nothing more than a lingering obsession.
Zhang Yaqing, her chin still in his grip, remained unfazed. Her voice was laced with contempt. "No matter how much time passes, you will always be filthy, lowly trash who’s unfit to be seen in public. You think you’ve returned as some triumphant king, but to me, you’re just a joke. The way you stand here, trying to show off how powerful you’ve become, only serves to mask your own insecurity and inferiority. Wei Zihuan, you’re still as pitiful... and laughable as you always were."
Her casual, dismissive words were like knives stabbing into his heart.
He glared at her, flushed with shame and anger.
"See? There you go again with your impotent rage. It seems I was right about everything," she said, mercilessly rubbing salt in his wounds. "You should be grateful my grandfather didn’t deal a crippling blow back then; otherwise, you’d be a cripple now. I’m surprised your leg even recovered."
Wei Zihuan scoffed. "Held back? It cost me a fortune to slowly heal this leg. Luckily, I met an important figure who took a liking to me. He gifted me an Elixir that made me whole again. Zhang Yaqing, I really don’t understand how you can still act so superior in front of me. Like I said, the Zhang Family means shit to me now!"
Their statuses had been completely reversed! How dare this woman still put on such a high-and-mighty act in front of him?
The overwhelming rage made him lose all reason. He abruptly lifted Zhang Yaqing and slammed her down onto the office chair, viciously prying her legs apart...
"Let’s see you act so pure and mighty after I’ve had my way with you!"
