Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 354: Surprise

In the end, Chen Xiao got his wish and successfully experienced the roles of a female investigator, office secretary, air conditioning worker... and so on, with full attack speed and firepower!

Zhu Baixi was overwhelmed, yet playful and reluctant to stop, after many pleas for mercy, she came back for more.

In the end, it was Chen Xiao who carried her, soft as a heap, to the side to change the bed sheets.

The two of them embraced and fell asleep.

The next day, Zhu Baixi wore a face of resentment. Having endured double the attack speed, she felt she could barely stand. Although it was pleasurable, she wouldn’t recover for several days.

Chen Xiao said, "I need to return to my sect soon and may have to cut off contact with the outside world for a while. I came by this time to see if you’re in any trouble and help you sort it out a bit."

"Oh, right, the money you lent me earlier is all in this bank card. During the stock market war between the Luo Family and the Lu Corporation, I made about fifty billion, and over ten billion of that’s your interest."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Baixi was a bit astonished, "Over ten billion?"

She could hardly believe it.

She had lent Chen Xiao twenty billion and got over ten billion in interest in return?

"Yeah, fifty billion divided into four parts, isn’t that not over ten billion per part?"

"Aren’t you keeping some for yourself?" Zhu Baixi asked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll take the money and leave you, and you’ll end up homeless?"

Chen Xiao gave her a playful slap on her shapely part, "Then you better be careful of my triple attack speed in anger. Besides, with my looks, where can’t I find someone willing to take care of me?"

Zhu Baixi shot him a glance, "Not serious at all!"

Triple attack speed would surely be too much for her to handle!

She feared she’d perish from dehydration in under three minutes.

Nevertheless, his gesture moved her deeply. Despite being a bit of a flirt, his feelings for her were genuine. He gave her over a billion without hesitation.

This was why she found Chen Xiao so captivating.

Although she was a few years older than Chen Xiao, she spent the first half of her life under the shadow of Jiang Baifeng. It wasn’t until she met Chen Xiao that she truly found love.

So, even though she was terrified last night, she still chose to face it with Chen Xiao.

Even if it meant facing death.

Chen Xiao gently touched her cheek, "I have to leave today. While I’m away, be careful. You can use Tang Jianxiong for help. Since his life is in my hands, as long as he’s not foolish, he won’t dare defy you."

Zhu Baixi nodded, but she understood clearly that Tang Jianxiong was under Chen Xiao’s control only temporarily. Unless it was absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t trouble him.

Otherwise, once Tang Jianxiong broke free from control, he would bear a grudge.

But, before leaving, Zhu Baixi couldn’t bear it and held Chen Xiao tightly again.

They indulged in another round of passionate affection.

It wasn’t until Zhu Baixi fell into a deep sleep that Chen Xiao gently covered her with a blanket and left.

Afterward, he directly headed to Zhonghai.

——

At this moment, in Zhonghai, inside the Qin Corporation office.

Qin Lan sat on her office chair, tiredly rubbing her temples, when her private phone rang.

Upon seeing it was a call from Chen Xiao, a faint smile appeared on her face.

Once the call connected, her voice carried a hint of grievance that couldn’t hide the underlying joy.

"You heartless man, you finally remembered me? I thought you’d forgotten all about me."

She missed Chen Xiao as well.

On the other end of the line, Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "Why don’t you open the door and take a look?"

Qin Lan was taken aback, then hurried over and opened the office door.

Chen Xiao stood outside, holding a bouquet of flowers in a flamboyant manner.

Qin Lan chuckled, "Why did you come suddenly, without telling me in advance?"

"Wanted to surprise you." Chen Xiao smiled, "Are you surprised, caught off guard?"

"After such a long time, what surprise could I possibly feel?" Qin Lan rolled her eyes at him but accepted the flowers he handed over.

"It’s not that I don’t want to see you, just been really busy lately. I even went to the Philippines and almost lost my life." Chen Xiao sighed wistfully, then changed his tone.

"However, amidst hundreds of armies, I managed to get you a gift."

As he spoke, he took out a jewelry necklace from his pocket and said seriously, "This is a treasure from the Manla Family estate, a token of love from the Philippines Emperor to his wife. I found it suits you so well, so I casually brought it back for you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan’s eyes filled with worry, "When did you go to the Philippines? And faced danger? Could it be... you’ve something to do with the upheaval in the Manla Clan?"

Although she wasn’t part of that circle, as a top player in the business world, she had heard about the current situation in the Philippines, the well-known news being the downfall of the Philippines Emperor Manlard and the Manla Clan.

"It’s a long story, let me come in and explain slowly." Chen Xiao sighed lightly, placing the jeweled necklace around her snowy white neck, "So beautiful, it suits you perfectly!"

He clicked his tongue in admiration, "What’s with the Philippines Princess wearing this necklace? Compared to you, it’s like an ugly duckling to a swan. Only you deserve this priceless necklace."

Qin Lan giggled, fingers gently caressing the necklace on her neck, her eyes full of tenderness and joy, "When did you become so glib?"

What woman doesn’t like her man complimenting her?

"I’m just telling the truth."

Chen Xiao said seriously, "As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. A great beauty like you is the only one worthy of this necklace. Otherwise, I wouldn’t risk my life to fetch it back for you."

Later, Chen Xiao told her briefly about the events in the Philippines.

He slightly altered the storyline.

For instance, he glossed over the danger he faced rescuing Leng Baiyu, instead emphasizing how he killed Manlard, then dived back into danger to get the necklace from the estate amidst countless soldiers just to bring it to her.

This left Qin Lan deeply moved, leaning gently against Chen Xiao’s chest, her tears soaking his clothes, her eyes full of compassion.

She couldn’t imagine what kind of danger Chen Xiao had faced in such circumstances.

Chen Xiao couldn’t help but lament, as a certain ancestor once said: when a woman likes you, she’d unhesitatingly believe you even if you say a cat can punch the earth apart.

The ancestor also said—

If you truly love a woman, don’t let any tears or water flow from her eyes.

Chen Xiao decided to uphold these words to the end.

Qin Lan said, "Earlier, my secretary mentioned she needed to come in and report about something."

Chen Xiao raised an eyebrow, "Should I step out for now? You two can get to work."

Qin Lan took his hand, "No need, I’ll keep the door closed and she can report from outside."

Pausing, she then smiled warmly, "Of course, if you prefer not, that’s okay too."
