Chapter 163: Don’t Tell Me You’re Jealous Too?

Chapter 163: Chapter 163: Don’t Tell Me You’re Jealous Too?

When Luo Yuqing pushed open the door to the private room and walked right in, the three people inside were all stunned.

Wang Chenning quickly pulled out his phone to check WeChat and saw that the woman had sent him several messages. ’She must not have gotten my reply and decided to come find me directly.’

This made Wang Chenning a little nervous, afraid that Luo Yuqing would blow up in public and expose their sordid affair.

Thankfully, his worries were unfounded; Luo Yuqing showed no signs of doing anything drastic.

Luo Yuqing sat down next to Zhao Xiao’an, smiled at Yang Xiaofei, and said, "Miss Yang, you don’t mind me crashing the party, do you?"

Yang Xiaofei smiled faintly. "Miss Luo, you’re a distinguished guest. It’s usually impossible to get you to join us for dinner, so for you to grace us with your presence today is a great honor."

"Isn’t this man a little too lucky?" After greeting Yang Xiaofei, Luo Yuqing turned her sights on Wang Chenning. "Having dinner with three beauties. If word of this got out, countless men would probably be lining up to kill you."

"I am extremely honored!" Wang Chenning raised his teacup in a toast to the three women. "I’ll use tea instead of wine to toast you three beauties. Thank you for granting me this opportunity!"

The three women simultaneously rolled their eyes at him before taking a sip of tea.

Luo Yuqing glanced at Zhao Xiao’an, then at Yang Xiaofei, and asked with a mysterious look, "Miss Yang, I heard that Wang Chenning is your fiancé?"

Both Yang Xiaofei and Zhao Xiao’an froze for a moment.

Yang Xiaofei calmly brushed a stray strand of hair from her forehead and replied in a placid voice, "You’re quite well-informed, Miss Luo. It’s true. My grandfather and Grandpa Wang arranged our engagement over twenty years ago."

"Congratulations, Miss Yang, on having such an outstanding fiancé!" Luo Yuqing said, looking at Yang Xiaofei with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. "However, I also heard you weren’t too pleased with Wang Chenning and insisted on calling off the engagement. Your standards are truly high!"

For a moment, Yang Xiaofei didn’t know how to respond.

Luo Yuqing’s question sounded ordinary, but it concealed a trap.

No matter how she answered, she would put herself in an awkward position.

Without waiting for Yang Xiaofei to reply, Luo Yuqing tilted her head toward a frowning Zhao Xiao’an. "Our Xiao’an here is quite the romantic herself. Sparks flew between her and Wang Chenning during her interview with him. And if I’m not mistaken, Miss Yang, you must be regretting your earlier decision by now, right? After all, a man as outstanding as Wang Chenning is one of a kind. Give it a little more time, and the line of women crying and begging to marry him will only get longer. Haven’t you seen that beautiful President Zheng he recruited? She’s waiting every day for him to grace her with his presence! But this kid’s standards are so high, he won’t even look her way!"

Seeing Zhao Xiao’an and Yang Xiaofei looking a bit stunned, Luo Yuqing pursed her lips and continued, "I bet this guy is trying to win over one of you, or maybe he’s even thought about taking both of you for himself. He’s a man, after all. Which one of them doesn’t dream of a harem of three thousand beauties, enjoying all the finest women in the world? It’s just like how I used to fantasize about keeping a flock of handsome boy toys and playing the bride every single night!"

Zhao Xiao’an was both furious and exasperated. Her aunt was always so unfiltered, daring to say anything that crossed her mind.

Thankfully, Wang Chenning was used to her antics; otherwise, Zhao Xiao’an wouldn’t have known how to explain her aunt to him.

Seeing that the man and two women hadn’t interjected, Luo Yuqing continued smugly, "Women have to get married, and men have to take a wife. There’s no rule in this world that says any one person must end up with another. People get divorced even after getting married, never mind that you’re all single. There are plenty of exceptional people out there, but it’s rare to find someone who truly makes you happy. When you find someone you’re satisfied with, don’t miss your chance, or you’ll end up an old maid like me!"

"Why don’t you both just forget about the engagement and have a fair competition!" Luo Yuqing said casually. "What woman doesn’t love an exceptional man? If I were a few years younger, your age, I’d jump into the ring and compete with you for him myself. So, why don’t you both use your own unique talents and see who ends up with Wang Chenning? What do you say?"

Wang Chenning was amused. ’Luo Yuqing really is an open-minded woman,’ he thought. ’We already have *that kind* of relationship, yet here she is, playing referee and telling the other two women to compete for me.’

He immediately remembered that Luo Yuqing had once told him she hoped he would choose Yang Xiaofei. Her behavior today was certainly impartial; she wasn’t siding with Zhao Xiao’an.

Zhao Xiao’an and Yang Xiaofei both sensed this as well. Neither was pleased with her speech, and they both frowned as they looked at her.

Luo Yuqing, however, was unfazed. She even gave them a solemn warning, "Don’t let another woman beat you to it!"

Then she added mysteriously, "And if you marry him, you’ll never have to worry about losing your figure or aging prematurely. He can definitely help you maintain it all perfectly. Who knows, maybe thirty years from now, you’ll still be as gorgeous as you are today."

Luo Yuqing’s words struck a chord with both Yang Xiaofei and Zhao Xiao’an, to some extent.

They just didn’t show any reaction then and there.

Just then, the on-duty head from the First Affiliated Hospital called to consult him on a complex medical case they had encountered that evening.

"I’ll be back soon!" Wang Chenning hadn’t really wanted to get involved in the hospital’s business, but he didn’t want to endure the awkward atmosphere any longer, so he seized the opportunity to slip away.

When the consultation ended, he saw two new messages from Luo Yuqing:

"So, how was that? My timing was perfect for saving the day, wasn’t it?"

"I’m pretty sure they’re both preparing to compete for you fairly now. They’re very proud, after all. You’ll have to thank me properly some other time—let me be a real queen again. And yes, I still suggest you choose Yang Xiaofei. Otherwise, I’ll be under pressure, too."

Wang Chenning scrolled through his phone a few times but saw no messages from Zhao Xiao’an or Yang Xiaofei.

He didn’t take the initiative to message them either.

But to his surprise, just as he was breathing a sigh of relief on his way back to his apartment, Zhao Xiao’an came looking for him.

When Zhao Xiao’an arrived, Wang Chenning was preparing to give Wu Ziyue another treatment session. He opened the door, saw Zhao Xiao’an standing outside, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of anxiety.

After stepping inside, Zhao Xiao’an saw Wu Ziyue ready to receive treatment. She didn’t reproach Wang Chenning, but simply said softly, "I’m going to rest in the car for a while. Come down and find me when you’re finished. I have to talk to you! If I don’t get it off my chest, I definitely won’t be able to sleep tonight. Plus, my jet lag is still a mess. I feel so tired!"

"Alright!" Wang Chenning nodded in agreement and suggested that Zhao Xiao’an lie down in his room for a bit. He said he would come and get her after he finished Wu Ziyue’s treatment.

"Okay!" Zhao Xiao’an offered a faint smile and obediently went into his room to rest.

"Scumbag!" Wu Ziyue snapped, her face stern, as Wang Chenning entered the room to begin her treatment. "Is this how you play with people’s feelings?"

"I never denied being a scumbag!" Wang Chenning retorted, completely unconcerned. "And besides, when did you ever see me playing with anyone’s feelings? You’re just throwing accusations around without knowing what’s going on!"

Then, with a puzzled expression, he asked Wu Ziyue, "Don’t tell me you’re jealous, too?"
