Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 148 Seize the Opportunity

Forget men, even as a woman, she felt a twinge of jealousy! She couldn’t even begin to imagine how comfortable he must be, surrounded by such a bevy of beauties... Why on earth? What right did this guy have to live with so many beautiful women? Could it be because of his... impressive assets?

Remembering the sensual moment from earlier in the room, Li Kani’s pretty face flushed. A dark Chapter in my life! Utter humiliation!

The other women were also eyeing this unfamiliar woman with curiosity.

Luo Qingli raised an eyebrow. "You are...?"

Chen Xiao walked in from behind them. "Don’t bother with her. She’s just an ordinary yet overconfident girl."

"Who are you calling an ordinary yet overconfident girl?" Li Kani’s composure shattered. She was a top-tier beauty with wealth to match!

"If the shoe fits," Chen Xiao scoffed.

Recalling her earlier remarks, Li Kani’s face instantly turned crimson.

She glanced at the other women and cleared her throat, trying to feign composure. "Don’t look at me like that. Rest assured, I’m not interested in this guy."

With that, she made a show of leaving coolly.

So embarrassing, so utterly embarrassing! I wish I could escape this place right now.

As soon as Li Kani left, the women began to subtly press Chen Xiao for details about her. He explained everything, though he conveniently skipped over the sensual incident that had occurred in the room.

As the woman who considered herself his main partner, Luo Qingli appeared calm on the surface. After hearing Chen Xiao’s explanation, however, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Li Kani was gorgeous and had a stunning figure, she and Chen Xiao were merely new acquaintances, destined to have few interactions.

In contrast, that vixen Zhang Yaqing poses a much greater threat.

With a cool expression, she said, "The bidding day for the New Harbor project is the day after tomorrow. You’d better be prepared. Don’t drop the ball at the critical moment."

"Understood," Chen Xiao nodded.

Zhang Yaqing’s gaze, however, held a trace of playfulness and deeper meaning.

Chen Xiao felt a bit guilty under her stare.

Xu Yanran felt an inexplicable pang of jealousy. How is this guy surrounded by so many top-quality beauties, one after another? But then again, I don’t even seem to have the right to be jealous...

Li Biyun blinked her big eyes, looking at Chen Xiao with a touch of adoration. If I ever look for a man in the future, it has to be someone as impressive as Chen Xiao. With him setting such a high bar, I’m afraid no other man will ever be good enough for me.

After finally escaping the women’s blatant and subtle questioning, Chen Xiao went upstairs, intending to take a nice, comfortable bath.

However, when he entered the bathroom with his clothes, he found Zhang Yaqing already waiting inside. She was clad in nothing but a thin nightgown, a smile on her face as she watched him.

Chen Xiao rubbed his nose. "What are you doing here?"

"Waiting for you, of course," Zhang Yaqing’s voice carried a hint of seduction. "Be honest, your relationship with that girl from earlier isn’t so simple, is it?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. He coughed lightly. "You’re overthinking things. We’re just acquaintances, nothing more."

Zhang Yaqing’s lithe body pressed closer, her voice playful. "You still smell of another woman’s perfume... and another, more... particular scent."

"I have a very sensitive nose," Zhang Yaqing said with a sly smile, licking her red lips as she grabbed him in a certain place. "Are you trying to take a bath now to wash away the scent and destroy the evidence?"

Chen Xiao’s face darkened. Is this woman part dog? How could she possibly smell that?

A faint smile played on Zhang Yaqing’s lips. "It seems you don’t want others to know about this. I can keep your secret, but you have to agree to one condition."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao felt a sense of helplessness. "Alright, name it."

"You gave me two prescriptions before, right? I’ve been secretly developing them and preparing for a market launch. The research results have been quite promising. So, just like Luo Qingli, I plan to conquer the domestic market before immediately expanding internationally.

"Therefore, I also want a piece of the pie from this government-led New Harbor project.

"You have a good relationship with Li Buyi, so why don’t you help me secure it?"

Chen Xiao’s expression grew serious. "This New Harbor project isn’t up to Li Buyi to decide. All I can say is that I’m qualified to be in the running."

Hearing this, Zhang Yaqing’s eyes narrowed into crescents. "Fine, then. Go and fight for it for me. When you succeed, there will be a reward waiting for you."

As she spoke, Zhang Yaqing provocatively stroked him through his pants, leaving him flustered and feeling as if his whole body was on fire.

Chen Xiao’s face darkened. "Stop stringing me along with empty promises. You already stood me up last time."

Zhang Yaqing withdrew her delicate hand, smiling sweetly. "Last time, you were the one who didn’t seize the opportunity. Whether you can seize it this time... is all up to you."

With that, she sashayed out of the bathroom, her slender waist swaying as she went.
