Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Floored by Her Words

Zhao Xiao’an’s proposal took Wang Chenning by surprise.

He understood the significance of her suggestion.

Last time, Zhao Xiao’an had made a high-profile announcement that Wang Chenning would become Zhao Jiefang’s personal physician. This was, in effect, a clear declaration that the Zhao family held Wang Chenning in high regard.

For someone to still be coming after Wang Chenning under these circumstances was already crossing a line.

If Zhao Jiefang were to make a direct statement at a time like this, it would tell everyone that the old man of the Zhao family was displeased with what had happened and was throwing his full support behind Wang Chenning.

After that, if anyone dared to make a move against Wang Chenning again, the consequences would be completely different.

"When the time comes, I’ll invite him, and you can help put in a good word. But let’s not force the issue, or it might backfire."

"Mm, okay!" Zhao Xiao’an agreed with Wang Chenning, nodding obediently.

After that, they didn’t bring the matter up again and simply relaxed and enjoyed their time together.

Zhao Xiao’an was thrilled to finally have the chance to go out alone with Wang Chenning.

Throughout the day, she was either holding Wang Chenning’s hand or linking her arm through his.

Wang Chenning took many pictures of Zhao Xiao’an, and at her request, they also took many intimate photos together.

The two of them stayed at Yuanming Garden until four-thirty in the afternoon.

Zhao Xiao’an received several calls from work. She didn’t want to answer them at first, but since Wang Chenning also said he had things to attend to, she ultimately went in for some last-minute overtime.

After parting ways with Zhao Xiao’an, Wang Chenning finally called Yang Xiaofei.

"Something came up, so I don’t have time to stop by your company!" Wang Chenning told Yang Xiaofei, adding that he would just head over with Yang Xiaofu.

Yang Xiaofu had sent Wang Chenning several messages, all asking about their dinner plans for the evening.

Wang Chenning texted her back, saying he could go with her.

"I want to take your luxury sports car for a spin!" Yang Xiaofu said, sounding very excited.

So, Wang Chenning told Yang Xiaofei that he planned to go over with Yang Xiaofu.

Yang Xiaofei was a little disappointed, but she didn’t insist on anything and told them to come over together.

While Wang Chenning was waiting for Yang Xiaofu, he got calls from Wu Jingyi and Chang Qingfeng.

Wu Jingyi asked if Wang Chenning had plans for the evening and if he could come give them a lecture.

Chang Qingfeng, on the other hand, wanted to report the latest progress on the laboratory design to Wang Chenning.

Wang Chenning had put Chang Qingfeng in charge of many aspects of the laboratory he was planning to build.

And Chang Qingfeng hadn’t disappointed him, working on the project with dedication and diligence.

"How about tomorrow at noon?" Wang Chenning told them he had something very important to do that night, and that they should contact him again the next day.

This left Wu Jingyi very disappointed, and Chang Qingfeng felt it was a shame as well.

Wang Chenning drove to the entrance of Yandu University to pick up Yang Xiaofu.

Mindful of the recent online posts about Wang Chenning, Yang Xiaofu kept a low profile.

When she came out to meet him, she was wearing a hat and glasses, making her nearly unrecognizable to anyone who didn’t know her well.

When she came out, Wang Chenning moved directly to the passenger seat and let her drive.

"I’m planning to buy another car in a couple of days!" Wang Chenning intended to give this one to Zheng Qiuhang and get himself something more low-key to drive.

Lately, Zheng Qiuhang had been the one using the sports car most of the time anyway.

Wang Chenning wasn’t fond of this type of car, and the events of the past couple of days had convinced him to be even more low-profile.

He had already asked Zheng Qiuhang to start looking for a new car for him.

His requirements weren’t high; a simple car for getting around, costing a few hundred thousand yuan, would be enough. An SUV would be best for taking trips.

He had his eye on a Ford Edge, which cost around 340,000 yuan, but Zheng Qiuhang scoffed at the idea, saying that driving a car of that class was beneath Wang Chenning’s status.

Wang Chenning had replied, "Isn’t being low-key the best way to show off?"

"Fine, suit yourself!" Zheng Qiuhang had been at a loss for words, but she still suggested buying a nice car just to keep up appearances.

Wang Chenning told her to decide what car to buy and just to charge it to the company account.

When Yang Xiaofu heard Wang Chenning say he was giving the car to Zheng Qiuhang, she expressed intense jealousy.

Wang Chenning ignored her sour tone and said casually, "If you want a sports car, I’ll just buy you a brand new one."

"You have to keep your word!" Yang Xiaofu instantly became overjoyed. "It’s my birthday next month. Why don’t you give it to me as a birthday present?"

"Sure," Wang Chenning agreed readily. "You pick out the car first, and I’ll go with you to get it when the time comes."

"Brother Ning, thank you!" Yang Xiaofu was all smiles.

A sports car wasn’t really a big deal to her. But the meaning behind Wang Chenning being the one to give her a sports car—that was something else entirely.

For a man to offer her such a gift without batting an eye gave her vanity an immense sense of satisfaction.

Yang Xiaofu’s driving style was similar to Yang Xiaofei’s—they were both extremely aggressive drivers. Wang Chenning had to repeatedly remind her to be careful and not get into an accident.

After his constant reminders, Yang Xiaofu did tone it down a bit.

As they neared the Yang family’s villa, Yang Xiaofu made another demand. "You have to spend time with me tonight. It’s been so long. If you do, I might have a surprise for you!"

"What kind of surprise?" Wang Chenning chided with a laugh. "You’re so young, and you’re already playing mind games. That’s not good!"

"Brother Ning, last night I dreamed I was doing naughty things with you!" After parking the car, Yang Xiaofu didn’t get out right away. Instead, she leaned in and whispered in Wang Chenning’s ear, "You were so domineering. I nearly died from what you did to me. My back was even a little sore when I woke up this morning! Hmph, you have to make it up to me!"

Wang Chenning reached out and lightly tapped her on the head. "That was your dream. What’s it got to do with me?"

"Hmph, you have to take responsibility either way!" Yang Xiaofu reminded him, biting her lip. "All talk and no action is the worst kind of scumbag move. Besides, you promised me yourself a couple of days ago. You have to keep your word!"

Wang Chenning looked at Yang Xiaofu with a grin. "Aren’t you afraid your sister will murder you?"

"She won’t, as long as we don’t let her find out!" Yang Xiaofu said with a nonchalant look. "If you don’t say anything, and I don’t say anything, she’ll never know!"

Then she added mysteriously, "Brother Ning, just stop fooling around with Zhao Xiao’an and marry my sister! Think about it, if you marry my sister, you get me, her little sister, as part of the deal. It’s a buy-one-get-one-free special."

"You want me to tell your sister what you just said?" With that, Wang Chenning pushed open the car door and got out.

Yang Xiaofu immediately followed him out of the car. She wrapped her arms around his and pleaded in a low voice, "Brother Ning, you can’t tell my sister. I know you won’t, this is our little secret. I’ve had a change of heart, you know. When I first met you, I really wanted to marry you. But now, I don’t dare. If I married you, wouldn’t I have to spend all day fending off other women trying to steal you away? I’d be exhausted! It’s better if I just be your lover for life!"

Wang Chenning was completely floored by her words, so stunned he couldn’t speak for a long moment.
