Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife Chapter 191: Encounter at the Airport Again

Just then, BEEP BEEP BEEP! Li Kani’s cell phone suddenly rang at a most inopportune ti.

Chen Xiao didn’t care and intended to hang up, but just then, he saw the na on the screen—Mom.

It was a call from Jessie.

"You should get that," Chen Xiao said, feeling a bit helpless. Seriously, what perfect timing... However, the interruption had helped him cool down as well.

With a guilty conscience, Li Kani answered the call. "Mom, what’s up?"

"I heard from Miss Qin that you got drunk and Mr. Chen is bringing you ho. Are you almost here?" Jessie inquired.

Li Kani’s face flushed. "We’re on our way..."

That Qin Lan! Playing a ga of misdirection, was she? And here I was, actually thinking she was being so generous.

"Hehe, no rush. Mom was just checking in, a little worried is all.

"I made you so hangover soup. It’ll get cold if you don’t hurry."

"Got it," Li Kani said before hanging up.

"Let’s go," Chen Xiao said, straightening his clothes. The phone call had managed to diffuse a good deal of his pent-up desire.

Li Kani gritted her teeth. "Qin Lan, you’re despicable!"

A playful look crossed Chen Xiao’s face. "It seems you were really looking forward to tonight?"

Li Kani’s pretty face grew even redder. "At least I don’t appreciate people scheming behind my back."

Her mind was simple; she loved and hated with equal passion. Today, under the influence of alcohol, she had almost crossed the final line with Chen Xiao. But Jessie’s call had sobered her up considerably.

It’s not so bad, I guess... Heh, so this man is interested in after all. He’s just putting on a tough act.

Assured of this, she felt a swell of pride.

How could he possibly remain indifferent when a great beauty like teases him? But, it must be fate. This is the perfect chance to keep him guessing... I’ve heard that n don’t cherish what they get too easily.

It was her first ti being in a relationship as well, so she had no experience. When it ca to understanding the male psyche, she was a complete amateur, far from savvy.

The car soon arrived at the Li Family’s ho.

Jessie and Li Zhenfang thanked Chen Xiao profusely, their tone deeply respectful. Chen Xiao, however, felt rather embarrassed.

I... I almost took things too far with their precious daughter just now.

"Uncle Li, Madam, it’s getting late. Since Miss Li is ho safe, I’ll be on my way," Chen Xiao said politely, practically fleeing the scene.

Jessie looked at Li Kani with a teasing smile. "My dear, why did you drink so much today?"

Li Kani’s face reddened, feeling as though her mother could see right through her. "It was such a grand banquet," she mumbled. "I guess I just had a few too many."

Jessie’s ocean-blue eyes landed on her daughter’s slender neck. She leaned in and whispered, "Strange, I didn’t know there were mosquitoes at the banquet."

Li Kani glanced down and was horrified to find a faint hickey on her neck. Her cheeks instantly flushed crimson. "Mom!"

"Alright, alright!" Jessie laughed brightly. "I’ve been there. I get it, I get it."

A young woman in the first blush of love...

Still, she was worried. The man her daughter had fallen for was far too exceptional. Even a powerful woman like Qin Lan was one of Chen Xiao’s won.

Can my daughter really handle a man like that?

This was why she had called Li Kani after receiving Qin Lan’s "well-intentioned" reminder. She was well aware that while Li Kani had a cheerful and outgoing personality, she had grown up under their protection for many years. Her emotional experience was incredibly pure. Jessie didn’t want to see her daughter get hurt by acting impulsively.

However, seeing the love-struck look on Li Kani’s face, she sighed inwardly. I don’t think I can stop this... A man this outstanding is a fatal attraction for any woman, to say nothing of a girl like Kani, who is experiencing these feelings for the first ti.

anwhile, Chen Xiao was speeding back ho. Suddenly, his phone rang again. It was a call from Zhang Yaqing.

He answered it while continuing to drive.

"Hello."

"Are you in Zhonghai right now?" Zhang Yaqing asked, getting straight to the point.

"Yes, I’m in Zhonghai," Chen Xiao nodded.

"I’m flying to Zhonghai tomorrow. I wonder if Mr. Chen would do the honor of picking up?" Zhang Yaqing’s tone was teasing, laced with a hint of provocation.

"Sure," Chen Xiao agreed without hesitation.

This woman still hasn’t fulfilled her promise to . I absolutely cannot let her get away this ti.

"Then, I’ll see you tomorrow," Zhang Yaqing giggled. "Mr. Chen, you’d better not stand up again. The consequences will be severe."

Chen Xiao pursed his lips. "I hope you won’t be the one standing up again."

Zhang Yaqing’s voice beca soft and seductive. "Don’t worry, I’ve prepared a surprise just for you."

***

After returning to his residence, Qin Lan looked at Chen Xiao with a teasing smile, taking a light sniff of his collar. "The scent of perfu is quite strong. So, how was it? Does the mixed-race beauty have a certain exotic charm?"

Chen Xiao gently lifted her chin. "Jealous? Weren’t you pretending to be so generous earlier?"

"Oh, it’s not jealousy I’m hungry for..."

Qin Lan licked her red lips, her eyes smoldering as her slender arms coiled naturally around his neck...

When Chen Xiao woke up the next morning, the sun had already risen. Qin Lan had already left for the office, leaving only a text ssage behind. Now that the Qin Corporation had stabilized, she had many matters to handle personally, chief among them being the need to cultivate her own loyal team and completely secure the Qin Family’s power in her hands.

Chen Xiao got up, washed up, and had a quick al before driving Qin Lan’s Porsche to the airport. Zhang Yaqing’s flight was scheduled to arrive at twelve.

「Zhonghai International Airport.」

Chen Xiao stood at the arrivals gate, waiting for Zhang Yaqing to erge. About ten minutes later, he spotted her. She was pulling a suitcase, dressed in a form-fitting skirt, her charming and slightly domineering aura imdiately capturing the attention of every lecher in the vicinity. Her impossibly long legs, tightly wrapped in black stockings, were a particularly potent sight.

Who could possibly resist that?

Zhang Yaqing’s face lit up in a smile when she saw Chen Xiao. "How long have you been waiting?"

"Just got here," he replied with a faint smile.

But in the next mont, his pupils constricted violently.

Just ahead of Zhang Yaqing, another figure was walking out of the airport gate—a cold and exquisitely beautiful woman.

Luo Qingli!

For a mont, a storm of conflicting emotions surged through his heart.

Luo Qingli simply stared coldly at the two of them, her face an expressionless mask. Yet, the instant her eyes t Chen Xiao’s, her heart couldn’t help but ache with a sharp pain.

Chen Xiao opened his mouth to say sothing, but Luo Qingli simply brushed past them, pulling her suitcase behind her.

"Qingli!" A clear, bright voice called out from behind Chen Xiao.

He turned to see a tall, handso young man dressed in white, holding a bouquet of fresh flowers. The man walked right up to Luo Qingli and offered the bouquet to her.
