Chen Xiao didn’t deny it. He simply nodded and said, "She got drunk, and Qin Lan asked to pick her up."
"So, you just left here alone?" Zhang Yaqing, playing the drama queen, let tears well up in her eyes.
This left Chen Xiao feeling helpless. These won... why are they all the sa? In the end, he could only use the sa thod on Zhang Yaqing that he’d used on Luo Qingli: silencing her before she could speak any further.
If Luo Qingli was beauty and Qin Lan was lush sensuality, then Zhang Yaqing was an absolute succubus. She was the epito of seduction, a poppy flower that n found utterly irresistible.
Afterward, Chen Xiao lit a cigarette. These two won... they’re lethal. If it weren’t for his Celestial Yang Body, which made his abilities far beyond those of a normal man, he truly might not have withstood their combined assault. Adding Qin Lan to the mix... the very thought sent a shiver down his spine. No wonder ancient emperors died so young.
Zhang Yaqing lay in his arms, silently feeling his heartbeat. She gritted her teeth. "You really are a scumbag, clear as day!"
Chen Xiao chuckled. "And who was it, I wonder, who took the initiative to seduce while I was still married to Qingli? Now you’re calling a scumbag?"
Zhang Yaqing narrowed her eyes. At first, she’d only been driven by a petty desire to compete with Luo Qingli. She had just ant to tease Chen Xiao, never expecting to be the one who would fall so deep. But emotions are uncontrollable, aren’t they?
As the heir of the Zhang Family, she dared not claim to have wealth that could rival nations, but with the foundation of her family behind her, she had no need to use her body to trade for anything. Of course she would choose a man she actually liked.
Having spent so much ti in high society, she had seen all sorts of sordid affairs. Most n were creatures who thought with their loins, possessing disgustingly low morals. Chen Xiao, on the other hand, while promiscuous, was passionate and loyal—a man with principles and true masculinity. He had stord into her heart like a wild stallion, leaving her powerless to resist. What could she do? Life is short; seize pleasure while you can and leave no regrets!
Chen Xiao changed the subject. "A mont ago, I overheard from outside that there’s a banquet tonight. What’s that about? Are you planning to go?"
"Yes, there’s a dical exchange conference today, hosted by the Shenzhou Traditional Chinese dicine Community," Zhang Yaqing said. "And William Dodge will be attending as a guest. For years, our dostic Chinese dicine Community has been severely suppressed by Western powers. That’s why the community’s leading figures organized this conference—they’re hoping to gain recognition from the International dical Alliance. And William Dodge is a key figure within the dical Alliance."
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Is that so?"
Zhang Yaqing gave a bitter smile. "That’s right. Although Chinese dicine is powerful and is even recognized as such abroad, its developnt isn’t taken seriously enough at ho. Overseas, Chinese dicine culture is now predominantly represented by the People of Yang Country.
"For instance, within the International dical Alliance, one of the five permanent committee mbers is from Yang Country. They gained recognition from the dical Alliance through their practice of Chinese dicine.
"And it’s precisely because of them that our dostic dical community has always been suppressed by the International dical Alliance! As a result, the export of so of the Divine Land’s pharmaceuticals has been held in a stranglehold!
"Internationally, dicine produced in Yang Country now accounts for eighty percent of the market, while our dostic exports are restricted at every turn."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao’s eyes grew colder. Are they even worthy? The birthplace of traditional Chinese dicine is the Land of Shenzhou, yet these People of Yang Country have rely stolen a fraction of that knowledge. And now they have the audacity to subvert the natural order?
Zhang Yaqing smiled helplessly. "Even though there are people from our country currently holding positions within the International dical Alliance, their ranks are low, and they have little say. To gain acknowledgnt from the dical Alliance, we need to demonstrate real strength.
"This William Dodge, although a foreigner, is extrely interested in the miraculous art of Chinese dicine. He has also contributed greatly to the promotion of our dicine. However, he currently believes that the dical standards of Yang Country are superior to those of our Divine Land. So... it’s quite a headache.
"This ti, two of my Zongheng Chamber of Comrce’s products were blocked. The Luo Group suffered the sa fate, and I don’t know why. Based on William Dodge’s usual conduct, he advocates for promoting Chinese dicine to the world for the benefit of humankind. He doesn’t seem like the type of person to do this. I suspect soone is causing trouble behind the scenes.
"That’s why I decided to co and see him."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao nodded. "Then tonight, let’s go et this foreigner. If the opportunity arises, I don’t mind showing him which is superior: the dical arts of the Divine Land or the half-baked skills of those upstarts from Yang Country."
From Zhang Yaqing’s explanation, he got a general idea of who William Dodge was, but the fact that this foreigner favored the dical skills of Yang Country greatly annoyed him. This foreigner must just be sheltered. It was the first ti he had heard of such a large-scale Chinese dicine conference, and he figured it wouldn’t hurt to check it out.
