As a high-class gentleman, one should indeed possess a heart that cherishes beauty and pities the fair sex.
After hearing Xiang Wanli’s words, Cheng Xiaofan rolled his eyes, finding himself truly without a retort.
“Don’t just stand there like an idiot,”
Xiang Wanli nudged his waist, “Let’s go to your bedroom.”
The words had barely left her lips.
She, without further ado, carried the clothes and walked towards Cheng Xiaofan’s bedroom.
Seeing this, Cheng Xiaofan was flustered.
Was this beauty’s fiery demeanor influenced by her usual work style?
So decisive and straightforward!
Entering the bedroom.
Cheng Xiaofan said with a conflicted expression, “Miss Xiang, you sleep on the bed, and I’ll just roll around on the floor for the night, it’s fine!”
Xiang Wanli replied, “How can that be? Sleeping on the floor is easy to catch a cold and get sick.”
Cheng Xiaofan said, “Don’t worry, my body is so robust that even if I were buried in the snow for a night, nothing would happen to me.”
Xiang Wanli said resolutely, “Absolutely not. I shouldn’t have come into your bedroom.”
“Occupying your bed and making you sleep on the floor.”
“This would make my conscience uneasy!”
“Let’s sleep on the bed together!”
Cheng Xiaofan said, “No, Miss Xiang, you are too beautiful!”
“I’m afraid I might lose control for a moment and… eat you, what then?”
Xiang Wanli chuckled and said, “So what if you eat me? It’s all going to be for someone else sooner or later anyway!”
“……” Cheng Xiaofan was utterly speechless.
He had thought a casual joke would deter her.
He hadn't expected Xiang Wanli to be so nonchalant.
If he refused again, he was afraid it would hurt her pride.
He could only smile and say, “Alright, I’ll listen to you!”
Once they were on the bed.
To his surprise, Xiang Wanli said again, “Mr. Cheng, can you hold me while we sleep?”
Cheng Xiaofan couldn’t help but burst into a chuckle.
He said, “Miss Xiang, you’re such a grown woman, why do you need someone to hold you while you sleep?”
Xiang Wanli said, “There are too many mice here, I’m scared!”
“That Ross is truly going too far, arranging for us to stay in a place like this!”
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, “Just bear with it for tonight. They will surely find us a better place tomorrow.”
Xiang Wanli asked, “Are you really that sure?”
Cheng Xiaofan replied, “Yes, my premonitions are usually correct.”
Xiang Wanli said, “Hold me while we sleep!”
Cheng Xiaofan said, “Actually, it’s fine even if you don’t have me hold you.”
“In a room where I am present, mice and snakes will naturally stay far away!”
Xiang Wanli said, “Still, hold me. I was terrified by the mice in the next bedroom!”
Hearing her say this, Cheng Xiaofan found it hard to refuse any further.
He said, “Alright, I’ll hold you while we sleep!”
He reached out and pulled Xiang Wanli into his arms.
At the same time.
He secretly channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into her mind.
Once Xiang Wanli had fallen asleep, he gently moved her away.
The night passed without incident.
The next morning.
Cheng Xiaofan woke up.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he found that Xiang Wanli was already awake.
She was propped up on her arms, leaning over and looking at him.
Seeing her gaze, her eyes full of tenderness, fixated on him, Cheng Xiaofan felt a chill run down his spine.
He immediately tensed up.
He asked, “Miss Xiang, don’t stare at me with that look.”
“I slept very soundly last night and didn’t touch you!”
Xiang Wanli smiled at him radiantly and said, “Mr. Cheng, why didn’t you touch me?”
“Is it because I’m not good-looking enough, or is there some other reason?”
Cheng Xiaofan quickly said, “Miss Xiang, please don’t misunderstand.”
“You are very beautiful, truly beautiful.”
“I didn’t touch you because I am a gentleman!”
Xiang Wanli chuckled and said, “I feel you are more like a Liu Xiahui!”
“However, according to my personal research, Liu Xiahui didn’t touch women because he lacked the male function.”
“……” Cheng Xiaofan was utterly speechless upon hearing this.
Who speaks like that?
Did she mean he wasn’t a man?
That was a baseless accusation!
“Mr. Cheng,”
At this moment, he heard her say again, “But you are a divine doctor!”
“You surely have no problems in that regard!”
“Therefore, you are not Liu Xiahui!”
“Hence—”
“I have to admit that you are a gentleman!”
“However, I want to tell you, not every woman likes a gentleman!”
Cheng Xiaofan was speechless once more.
This was clearly testing the limits of his manhood!
He decided to let it be.
He’d let the beautiful lady say what she wanted.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Just then, a knock came from the door.
Cheng Xiaofan quickly said, “Miss Xiang, your uncle is here!”
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wanli quickly tidied her clothes and jumped off the bed.
Cheng Xiaofan walked over and opened the door.
The person who appeared at the doorway was indeed Yang Jigang.
Yang Jigang’s eyes widened slightly upon seeing Xiang Wanli in Cheng Xiaofan’s bedroom, but he quickly regained his composure.
“Excuse me, did I disturb you?” Yang Jigang said.
Cheng Xiaofan was exasperated.
What did he mean, ‘disturb us’?
We weren’t doing anything in the first place.
“Uncle, what happened to your face?”
At this moment, Xiang Wanli looked at Yang Jigang’s face and asked.
Yang Jigang touched his bleeding nose tip and the scratch marks on his face.
He said with a wry smile, “I drank too much last night and slept like a log.”
“In my sleep, a mouse bit my nose tip, and it scratched my face as well.”
“I came over early this morning, wanting to ask Mr. Cheng for some medicine to apply.”
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, “Old Yang, you don’t need any medicine for this.”
“I’ll just use my spiritual energy to filter your face, and it’ll be fine.”
He stepped forward and extended his right hand.
Flipping his palm, a wisp of spiritual energy covered Yang Jigang’s face.
Immediately!
He moved his palm around Yang Jigang’s face a few times.
The wound on his nose tip and the scratches on his face vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.
“Wow, so magical!”
Xiang Wanli exclaimed, “There’s not even a mark left on your face!”
She immediately took a mirror from her bag and handed it to Yang Jigang.
She said, “Uncle, take a look.”
Yang Jigang took the mirror and looked at his face.
He said in amazement, “Ah, this is too miraculous.”
“Not only do I not feel any pain, but my face also feels incredibly comfortable!”
Cheng Xiaofan smiled without a trace of modesty and said, “That’s necessary. My spiritual energy can not only enhance the aroma of food.”
“It can also heal people!”
Xiang Wanli said, “Mr. Cheng, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn’t have believed what is happening before me.”
“From now on, please take me as your disciple!”
