Chapter 156: Chapter 156: Do Your Best to Pursue Me, and I’ll Give You a Chance

At 8:00 PM, after a discussion with the attending experts about forming a team that lasted over an hour, Wang Chenning couldn’t take it anymore. He grabbed Yang Xiaofei and fled.

"Times have really changed for the worse. How can these old guys have no scruples at all!" Wang Chenning lamented as he got into Yang Xiaofu’s Rolls-Royce. "They were all crying and begging to become my disciples and join my team. Can’t they think of something else? What’s wrong with forming their own team?"

"You’re being adored by everyone, and you’re still not satisfied?" Yang Xiaofei rolled her eyes at Wang Chenning. "Would you rather everyone ignore you and not take you seriously? If you had a bunch of Grandmaster Level disciples and every person on your team was a leader in the field, wouldn’t that be the pinnacle of success?"

"But I only want to take on young disciples!" Wang Chenning sighed. "Especially young and pretty female disciples. Who wants these old geezers?"

"You scumbag!" Yang Xiaofei couldn’t resist reaching out and pinching Wang Chenning. "How many times have you brought this up?"

"Ah, you just don’t get it, do you!" Wang Chenning slapped her hand away and chuckled. "Let me use an analogy. If a cup is already almost full, how much more water can you add? That’s why I don’t like taking on old disciples. Besides, you understand the principle that like poles repel and opposites attract, right? Look at me—I’m handsome and talented. Young men my age would definitely resent me. Someone might even try to sabotage me out of jealousy. But female disciples are different. They won’t get jealous. In fact, they’ll work twice as hard to earn my approval. That way, teaching them yields twice the results with half the effort!"

Yang Xiaofei was dumbfounded. ’This bastard can make his disgusting thoughts sound so noble.’

A sarcastic look crossed Yang Xiaofei’s face. "In that case, you should just advertise your recruitment rules to everyone. I’m sure you’ll end up with nothing but beautiful female disciples then, right?"

"I smell jealousy!" Wang Chenning flashed a cheeky grin. "I never thought the poker-faced President Yang could get jealous. It’s truly... Hey! Why are you pinching me again? If you don’t let go, I’m jumping out of the car!"

The Rolls-Royce had a partition between the front and back seats. When activated, it could block not only sound but also the line of sight.

Yang Xiaofei had activated it right after they got in, so no matter how much the two of them horsed around in the back—even if they did something R-rated—the driver and assistant up front would be none the wiser.

Seeing Yang Xiaofei repeatedly unleash her Nine Yin White Bone Claw and pinch him several times, Wang Chenning couldn’t help but fight back. He squeezed her waist before pinching her thigh a few times in return.

Poor Yang Xiaofei, of course, was no match for him. She was utterly defeated in just a few moves, her body going limp in the seat.

But she refused to admit defeat. As Wang Chenning grabbed both of her hands and forced her to face him, she glared at him defiantly, even trying to open her mouth and bite him.

After dodging her attack, he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "The whole ’stone-faced girl’ thing is in the past for me now. I’ve realized you’re no different from any other girl—you laugh, you cry, you get jealous, and you even throw little fits. It’s great, though. This is what a real, vibrant young woman is like. The way you were before, with that sour look on your face all day... it was just repulsive!"

"I’ll go right back to being like that. If you find it so repulsive, then just don’t look!" Seeing no way to wrench her hands from his clutches, Yang Xiaofei finally gave up. Blushing, she glared at him resentfully. "Are you like this with every woman?"

"Like what?"

"So handsy, always taking advantage of people!"

"Of course. A man’s greatest hobby is women. Isn’t everything in life just an extension of the things that happen between men and women?" Wang Chenning released her hands. He reached up, gently brushing a stray lock of hair from her forehead, and looked at her up close. "Since you say I like taking advantage of people, I’m planning on taking a little more. You’d better get ready!"

With that, he slowly leaned his head toward Yang Xiaofei.

Yang Xiaofei didn’t pull away. Her face was flushed, all traces of the cold, aloof CEO gone. In its place was a tender vulnerability, and she gave Wang Chenning a provocative look.

Wang Chenning had only meant to scare her a little, but he hadn’t expected her to be completely unafraid. In the end, he was the one who backed down.

"Oh? Lost your nerve?" Yang Xiaofei taunted him again. "Is there anything in this world our dear Teacher Wang doesn’t dare to do?"

"Tch. You want me to kiss you? Then I’m definitely not going to grant your wish!" Wang Chenning shot back with a scornful smile. "Who knows if you have a camera in this car? If the whole process of me ’taking advantage’ of you got recorded and you used it to blackmail me, I’d be totally screwed, wouldn’t I?"

His words, of course, infuriated Yang Xiaofei. She opened her mouth and bit him resentfully before turning her head away and ignoring him.

Nevertheless, Wang Chenning still followed Yang Xiaofei to her home.

Furthermore, right in front of her assistant, Lv Qinglan, Yang Xiaofei proactively linked her arm with Wang Chenning’s as they entered the house.

Walking behind them, Lv Qinglan took out her phone, discreetly snapped a few photos, and sent them to a WeChat contact. Then she deleted the photos and cleared her recently deleted folder.

Once they were in the living room, Yang Xiaofei let go of Wang Chenning’s arm and looked at him with a wry smile. "If I’m not mistaken, Lv Qinglan will be asking you out in the next day or two. If you fall for her trap, we might not see our dear Teacher Wang conquering the beauties of Yandu anymore."

"You’ve been provoking her on purpose?" Wang Chenning pointed to himself. "And you’re using me as a tool!"

"I’m not using you as a tool!" Yang Xiaofei walked up to him and gave a captivating smile. "You’re my fiancé. If you won’t help me, who will? I’m going to go take a shower. You can help me with my treatment in a bit!"

"Want me to scrub your back?" Wang Chenning called out as he watched her graceful figure ascend the stairs. "My back-scrubbing skills are professional-grade!"

"Then come on up!" Yang Xiaofei beckoned to him with a seductive look. "I don’t mind if we shower together!"

"Really?" Wang Chenning stood up and followed her.

’This woman is acting strange today,’ he thought. ’Let’s see what kind of show she’s putting on.’

But just as he got to the top of the stairs, Yang Xiaofei’s phone rang.

She answered, and after listening for a few moments, the color drained from her face.

"I have to go back," she said, her expression grim. "Grandfather needs to see me about something."

"In the middle of the night? What is it now?" Wang Chenning frowned. "Is something wrong with his health again?"

"No." Yang Xiaofei shook her head. "Last time, when Grandfather suddenly fell and had a stroke, he nearly died. I suspected back then that it wasn’t an accident—that someone had planned it. I’ve had people investigating it in secret ever since."

"I see." Wang Chenning was quick to understand. He nodded. "Then you should go."

Yang Xiaofei thought for a moment before saying, "If you don’t have anything else to do, you can stay here tonight."

"Wouldn’t that make me the man of the house!"

"And what’s wrong with being the man of the house?" Her expression softened, and her voice grew gentle. "You have no idea how many people would kill to be the man of this house."

"I know you don’t really mean that," Wang Chenning whispered in her ear. "Since you secretly want me to be the man of your house, you’ll have to use every trick in the book. Let’s see if you can win me over. I’ll give you a chance! Why don’t you start now? See if you can take me down."
