Chapter 173: Chapter 173: Lin Anning Comes to the Door

"My grandpa wants to meet you. Are you willing to see him?" Zhao Xiao’an didn’t immediately answer her grandfather, instead covering the phone and whispering to Wang Chenning.

Wang Chenning was a little surprised, but he still nodded readily. "Of course!"

"Okay, Grandpa!" Zhao Xiao’an finally replied to Zhao Jiefang. "How about we come over and have dinner with you?"

"Good!" Zhao Jiefang agreed. "I’ll have someone prepare a few dishes and get a bottle of good wine!"

Zhao Xiao’an was instantly delighted. "Then we’ll come over a bit early!"

’Grandpa is taking Wang Chenning quite seriously. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked someone to prepare extra dishes and good wine.’

’She also believed that Wang Chenning would definitely be able to win over her grandfather.’

’As long as Grandpa approved of him, then no one else would be a problem.’

’Her parents wouldn’t go against Grandpa’s wishes, either.’

While Wang Chenning was treating Ling Weiguo, Zhao Xiao’an sat by herself, lost in a daydream for a long time. She even thought about what to name the son she’d have with Wang Chenning and which hobby classes to enroll their daughter in.

After reveling in her happy thoughts, she opened Weibo to take a look.

Although the post she made a few days ago had already fallen off the trending list, there were still many people leaving her comments or sending private messages.

On impulse, Zhao Xiao’an really wanted to post a real, official announcement.

But after drafting the message, she still didn’t have the courage to hit send.

’I’d better wait until after I’ve seen Grandpa.’

Wang Chenning’s treatment for Ling Weiguo didn’t end until more than an hour later.

By the time the treatment was over, Ling Weiguo had already fallen asleep.

Sleeping after the treatment would make it much more effective.

Wang Chenning didn’t want to discuss anything with Ling Weiguo today, so he just let him sleep.

After packing up his things, he prepared to leave with Zhao Xiao’an.

Wu Ziyue, who had gone to discuss the situation with her teammates, also returned. With her were four of her comrades-in-arms—two men and two women.

"These are all my comrades. They have all sorts of injuries. Can you help them?" Wu Ziyue seemed a little embarrassed as she said this.

"No problem!" Wang Chenning agreed. "Let me take a look at their injuries first. I’ll develop specific treatment plans based on their conditions!"

Seeing that Wang Chenning hadn’t refused, Wu Ziyue breathed a sigh of relief.

These four team members had suffered quite a few injuries. Their bodies were covered in many scars, and their physical conditions were not very good.

After giving them a rough examination, Wang Chenning devised different treatment plans for each of them.

He told them to see him for treatment based on their own rest schedules, adding that it would be best if they had at least a week of free time.

Scar restoration would take at least a week, during which he would also help them properly recuperate and condition their bodies.

"How about this, you can come in turns!" Wang Chenning finally suggested. "Find a hotel near the school and rest there between treatments. When one person is done, we’ll arrange for the next. That way, I won’t get too tired, and you’ll be able to recover better."

"Okay, I’ll arrange it!" Wu Ziyue agreed on behalf of her comrades.

When they left, Wu Ziyue was still driving, with Wang Chenning in the passenger seat and Zhao Xiao’an in the back.

"I was originally going to take you to the Forbidden City, but it looks like we don’t have time!" Zhao Xiao’an said, then asked Wang Chenning if he wanted to go to North Sea Park instead.

Wang Chenning gave Zhao Xiao’an a strange look, but still nodded.

Wang Chenning asked Wu Ziyue if she wanted to go with them.

Wu Ziyue really wanted to nod, but in the end, she just shook her head. "I still have some things to do. You guys go ahead!"

Seeing Wu Ziyue refuse, Zhao Xiao’an breathed a sigh of relief.

After dropping them off at North Sea Park, Wu Ziyue hailed a cab and went back by herself.

Just as they entered North Sea Park, he received a message from Luo Yuqing.

"When are you coming over to bully me tonight?"

"I probably won’t get a chance to bully you today!" Wang Chenning told Luo Yuqing that he was going with Zhao Xiao’an to see Zhao Jiefang and have dinner at his place that evening.

’It must have been because Ling Weiguo told Zhao Jiefang about this while I was treating him.’

"I’m so pissed! This silly girl is always ruining my plans!" Luo Yuqing was instantly livid. "In that case, I’ll go to Elder Zhao’s place too and piss the old man off until he drops dead!"

Wang Chenning sent another message, but she didn’t reply. He guessed she was really angry.

While Wang Chenning was messaging Luo Yuqing, Zhao Xiao’an received a phone call.

When she answered the call, she even walked a few steps away so Wang Chenning couldn’t hear.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing Zhao Xiao’an looking a little angry after the call, Wang Chenning couldn’t help but feel concerned. "Who made you mad?"

He thought Luo Yuqing had called to curse out Zhao Xiao’an and was a little worried.

"Lin Anning was looking for me!" Zhao Xiao’an said with a frown. "She actually knows we’re in North Sea Park. Did she have someone follow us?"

"She was probably following me!" Wang Chenning’s expression darkened. "I should have dealt with her more harshly last night!"

"You two had a conflict last night?" After waking up that morning, she had been so preoccupied with being intimate with Wang Chenning that she had forgotten he’d gone out last night because Lin Anning had come to stir up trouble.

Wang Chenning didn’t hide it and briefly explained what had happened the previous night.

But he definitely didn’t go into the details, only saying that he had taught Lin Anning a lesson. He had thought she’d be scared off, but he didn’t expect her to come looking for trouble the very next day.

"Then I’m going to have a good long talk with her!" What was supposed to be a very romantic day had been ruined by Wu Ziyue and Lin Anning, and Zhao Xiao’an was furious.

She couldn’t very well take her anger out on Wu Ziyue, so she could only direct it at Lin Anning.

Lin Anning found them half an hour later.

When Lin Anning appeared before them, dressed in a very cool and distinctive outfit of a leather jacket and leather pants, Wang Chenning and Zhao Xiao’an were by the spot where they had fallen into the water, reminiscing about that day.

Zhao Xiao’an had invited Wang Chenning to North Sea Park today precisely because she wanted to relive the events of that night.

It was a shame that someone had ruined the mood.

The moment she saw Wang Chenning and Zhao Xiao’an standing intimately by the lake, arms linked, Lin Anning strode over to them and said with a sneer, "Zhao Xiao’an, how can you like a scumbag like this?"

"Lin Anning, apologize right now!" Zhao Xiao’an was already in a bad mood, and seeing Lin Anning insult Wang Chenning the moment she arrived made her fly into a rage. "I won’t let anyone insult Wang Chenning, and that includes you!"

"Why don’t you ask him what ’good deeds’ he was up to last night!" Lin Anning ignored Zhao Xiao’an’s demand and continued to mock Wang Chenning. "As a man, you have no magnanimity at all. You don’t dare take responsibility for your own actions. Do you even call yourself a man?"

"Whether I’m a man or not is none of your business!" Wang Chenning hadn’t expected Lin Anning to curse him out like a shrew, especially with Zhao Xiao’an right there. Anger flared up inside him. "I’m not going to marry you, so why do you care so much?"

Then he followed up with a line that nearly made Lin Anning jump with rage: "Even if every other woman in the world died, I wouldn’t give a freak like you a second glance!"

In the middle of winter, there weren’t many visitors in North Sea Park, and there was no one else where they were standing, so Wang Chenning didn’t hold back.

Lin Anning jumped up when she heard this, cursing furiously, "Wang Chenning, you’re a scumbag! You forced yourself on me last night, then tricked me with sweet talk, saying you’d take responsibility for me. I can’t believe you’d just sleep with me and then pretend you don’t know me! Are you even a man?"
