Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 277: My Woman

"No rush, there’s still time!"

Chen Xiao turned over.

Soon, the room was once again filled with sounds that could make one’s face turn red.

"Stud!" Lu Rugao, in the adjacent room, clenched her teeth at the embarrassing noises.

Is this guy really a bull?

Just after tormenting her, he’s already getting it on again with Zhang Yaqing?

She even suspected that Chen Xiao was a stick in his previous life.

Over an hour later, Zhang Yaqing and Chen Xiao emerged, faces flushed.

The others wore amused expressions, especially Robin, who looked at Chen Xiao with admiration.

Lord Chen had been working in the room for most of the day and still seemed full of energy!

What they didn’t know was that Chen Xiao had the Celestial Yang Body, with excess yang energy that turned into Yang Poison. Releasing some of it brought him a bit of comfort.

Zhang Yaqing pulled Chen Xiao out, explaining the current situation to him on the way.

Apparently, his parents met in the Capital City and were college classmates.

Her mother came from a prestigious family in the Capital City. Initially, her relationship with her father was harmonious, but a few years after marriage, she began to disdain his lack of ambition. She returned to the Capital City to rely on her family to continue her pursuits.

This time, she returned to make Zhang Yaqing marry a wealthy suitor she fancied. Learning of Chen Xiao’s existence, she was disdainful and ordered them to break up immediately so Zhang Yaqing could be with the rich suitor.

Hearing this, Chen Xiao felt a headache. Another incredibly difficult mother-in-law!

"My mom is very strong-willed, and with her good background, even my grandfather in the Zhang Family has to give her some deference."

"This time, you must make her obey. Otherwise, she’ll be a constant bother."

"She’s introduced several guys from noble families to me before, and even tried to get me to move to the Capital City, but I refused every time."

"This time, she’s back with a vengeance, determined to marry me off like a commodity. She wants you to meet her, to prove yourself so she stops bothering me."

"Don’t worry, I’ll get the job done," Chen Xiao replied with a playful grin. After a pause, he asked, "What’s the deal with the guy your mom is introducing?"

Zhang Yaqing shook her head, her eyes sparkling, "No matter how impressive he is, he’s not as impressive as you. Why should I care about him?"

"Makes sense."

Chen Xiao felt flattered by the compliment.

——

At the entrance of the Zhang Family estate.

As soon as Chen Xiao got out of the car, he saw several servants standing on either side, dressed in matching uniforms.

They exuded the aura of a grand family.

He had visited the Zhang Family before but hadn’t seen such an imposing setup. It seemed Zhang Yaqing’s mother was a woman who valued ceremony.

To put it bluntly... she loved to act superior.

Her description in Zhang Yaqing’s stories confirmed it.

Entering the Zhang Family’s main hall, Chen Xiao saw several people already seated at the dining table.

Even the usually carefree Zhang Wudao was dressed formally today. Old Master Zhang, wearing traditional clothing, sat with an air of authority. Beside him sat a middle-aged man who resembled Zhang Wudao, with a youthful elegance still visible beneath a short beard.

Next to him was a noblewoman who, though over forty, had the charm of mature beauty and carried herself with the extraordinary grace of a wealthy housewife.

This noblewoman cast an arrogant glance at the Zhang Family, but when she spoke with the young man beside her, she smiled flatteringly.

This must be Zhang Yaqing’s mother, Li Shuya.

The young man was cultured, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, resembling a charming but treacherous character from a film.

His name was Duan Baolin, the second son of the Capital’s Duan family.

The Duan family was associated with the Capital Lu Family, making them notable in the Capital City, ranking a level or two above Li Shuya’s family, the Li Family.

"I’m back," Zhang Yaqing called, entering with Chen Xiao’s arm in hers.

Instantly, all eyes turned to them.

"Brother-in-law!" Zhang Wudao called out without reservation.

He couldn’t stand his mother’s actions either.

After being away for so many years, she returned only to force his sister to marry a sissy.

Moreover, this sissy liked to act superior.

His words were filled with disdain for the Zhang Family, carried with a smug air.

He intentionally called Chen Xiao brother-in-law to shame Li Shuya and Duan Baolin.

Sure enough, discomfort appeared on Li Shuya and Duan Baolin’s faces.

"Mr. Chen!" Even Zhang Zongheng stood up to greet Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao felt a bit awkward, since he was now like a grandson-in-law to Zhang Zongheng. Previously, it was fine for Zhang Zongheng to call him Mr. Chen, but now it seemed inappropriate.

"Grandfather Zhang, you can just call me Xiao Chen." Chen Xiao politely said.

Seeing this usually rebellious Chen Xiao showing such manners made Zhang Yaqing smile. It indicated her place in Chen Xiao’s heart. If he didn’t respect her elders at all, it would mean he didn’t care about her!

"Xiao Chen, is it? Please, have a seat." Father Zhang said, smiling at Chen Xiao.

Compared to the nobleman Li Shuya brought back, Father Zhang found Chen Xiao more pleasing.

Though not a centuries-old prominent family, the Zhang Family is quite established in Yuncheng City.

Father Zhang never aspired to climb higher societal echelons, but Li Shuya thought otherwise. She left Yuncheng City for the Capital because she looked down on the Zhang Family’s humble status. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Li Shuya was inherently proud, assertive, and also admired power.

The couple had long been estranged in spirit.

He couldn’t understand Li Shuya’s behavior, and she looked down on his lack of ambition.

Thus leading to today’s situation.

Li Shuya glared at Zhang Yaqing, "Didn’t I tell you I was bringing guests today? You bring some random person into the Zhang Family, who will take responsibility for offending Young Master Duan?"

"And who is this? What’s his status? Did he get my permission to come to the Zhang Family?"

Li Shuya spoke aggressively, casting an arrogant glance at Chen Xiao.

Zhang Yaqing, undaunted, smiled lightly, "Mom, this is Chen Xiao, my boyfriend. Didn’t I tell you before, he’s my boy-friend."

Li Shuya’s face turned an ugly shade of blue, interpreting Zhang Yaqing’s actions as a provocation.

"Boyfriend? Did I agree to you having a boyfriend? Have I approved of him?!"

Zhang Yaqing maintained her elegant smile, "I’m an adult and have the right to choose my partner. Oh, and by the way, you’ve been so busy with your career over the past decade, neglecting me and my brother’s upbringing. Why take an interest in my boyfriend now?"

"You—" Li Shuya finally lost her composure. Zhang Yaqing’s rebuttal made her feel humiliated in front of Duan Baolin, losing her maternal authority.

"I gave birth to you, so you should let me control you! That’s the natural order! Do you want to be an unfilial daughter?" Li Shuya said coldly, "Make him leave immediately! You two aren’t allowed to see each other again!"

Chen Xiao spoke calmly, "Auntie, Old Master Zhang is the head of the Zhang Family. Since he hasn’t made me leave, what right do you have to make me go?"

"And, I want to tell you, Auntie, not to impose your will on Yaqing. She’s not only your daughter but also my woman."

"No one can make my woman unhappy."

"Including you!"

"Especially when you bring some random people to harass her, which makes me very unhappy too."
