Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Battle of Wits and Courage

"Sis, what kind of person do you take me for?" Luo Yuqing was shocked, but her expression didn’t change at all. "Would your little sister debase herself like that?"

"Why do I get the feeling you’ve been looking much healthier these past few days?" Luo Yaqian frowned at her younger sister. "And the way you walk is different from before, too!"

"Sis, are you some kind of pervert?" Luo Yuqing said, annoyed. "Why can’t I look healthier? Is it wrong for me to have a spring in my step when something good happens? Yes, I went to Wang Chenning for a conditioning treatment. His methods are truly brilliant—way better than a spa day. If you want to improve your complexion, you should try him out, too. I really don’t know where that guy learned such masterful medical skills."

Before Luo Yaqian could answer, Luo Yuqing continued, "I’m already working with him. I secured the exclusive rights to his beauty and wellness treatments. Earning billions, or even tens of billions, a year won’t be a problem. Sis, what I’m thinking is, we have to find a way to control him. We can’t let him become an asset to someone else."

"What do you mean?" Luo Yaqian was a little confused. "Are you saying you want him to marry Xiao’an, making him part of the Zhao family that way?"

"Sis, have you gotten slow?" Luo Yuqing chuckled. "Didn’t I already say they aren’t right for each other? Besides, his engagement to Yang Xiaofei hasn’t been called off yet. I think we should let him marry Yang Xiaofei. Then, we find a way to control them both. That way, not only do we get him, but we can also get the Yang family under our thumb."

"And how would you control them?" Luo Yaqian’s frown deepened. "By being his mistress?"

"So you think it’s a viable option, too?" Luo Yuqing’s face instantly lit up with a smile.

Luo Yaqian’s expression turned icy. "Luo Yuqing, have you lost your mind?"

"I haven’t lost my mind," Luo Yuqing said with a sly smile. "But I do think it’s an excellent method. I just wouldn’t be the one to use it. Don’t you think, Sis, that I can subdue him without using a honey trap?"

"What method would you use?" Luo Yaqian asked, still frowning.

"I’m not telling you yet!" Luo Yuqing chuckled. "I have to find his weakness first. At the very least, I’ve already found Yang Xiaofei’s."

As she spoke, Luo Yuqing stood up and began massaging Luo Yaqian’s shoulders. "Either way, we have to make Wang Chenning one of ours, no matter what. We can’t push him toward our rivals. Also, don’t let your daughter fall completely for him."

Luo Yaqian closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Luo Yuqing, is he the first man you’ve ever truly liked?"

"Yes, he really is the first," Luo Yuqing sighed. "Unfortunately, I don’t dare to gamble on it. I’m afraid of losing and ending up with nothing. At my age, I can’t afford to lose. Besides, I don’t want to get married just to be cheated on again and again. So, don’t worry about me! You know that when I’m rational, no one is more rational than me."

"Alright, I understand." Luo Yaqian sighed as well, then sent a text to Zhao Xiao’an: "Come home to sleep tonight. Mom needs to talk to you about something."

After getting the call from Luo Yaqian, most of Zhao Xiao’an’s good mood vanished.

But she still went with Wang Chenning for a late-night snack.

"I should probably go home to sleep tonight," Zhao Xiao’an said softly while they were eating. "I’m guessing my aunt is with my mom. It must have been Luo Yuqing who convinced my mom to make that call. She knows we’re together."

"Alright." Wang Chenning glanced at Zhao Xiao’an. "You should go back, then. It’ll save you trouble."

As they were talking, Zhao Xiao’an received a text from Luo Yaqian. She showed it to Wang Chenning and said with a bitter smile, "I wonder what kind of scheme those two have cooked up now. I bet as soon as I get home, my mom is going to try and lecture me again."

’A woman’s jealousy is really something else,’ Wang Chenning thought with a wry smile.

He’d actually had plans for tonight; he knew Zhao Xiao’an wouldn’t refuse him.

If she didn’t refuse and he was willing, it wouldn’t have been a big deal to take things to the next level tonight.

But now, he wasn’t in the mood anymore.

He sent a text to Luo Yuqing: "Are you with your sister?"

Luo Yuqing replied almost instantly: "Yes, you’re so smart!"

Wang Chenning didn’t reply, and Luo Yuqing didn’t text again either.

After they finished their snack, Zhao Xiao’an got ready to drive home.

But she couldn’t bear to leave just like that. Instead, she pulled Wang Chenning into her car and forced him into a passionate make-out session before finally driving off.

After Zhao Xiao’an left, Wang Chenning sent another text to Luo Yuqing: "I’m coming to find you tonight."

"Don’t!" Luo Yuqing knew what Wang Chenning meant. "I’m scared of you, alright?"

If she agreed to let Wang Chenning come over, he would surely punish her brutally. Luo Yuqing was very clear on this point.

But Wang Chenning wasn’t about to let her off the hook. He sent another text: "I have something to discuss with you. Tell me where you’re staying tonight!"

"Fine, come over then!" Luo Yuqing didn’t argue anymore. "It’s the same place you came to last time!"

Wang Chenning didn’t go back for his car, taking a taxi instead.

When he arrived at Luo Yuqing’s place, she wasn’t there yet.

Wang Chenning let himself in, took a shower in the bathroom, and then sat on the sofa in a bathrobe to wait for her.

Luo Yuqing arrived about twenty minutes after he had finished his shower.

The moment Luo Yuqing walked in, Wang Chenning pulled her into his arms and, without any ceremony, began to punish her.

Sensing Wang Chenning’s anger, Luo Yuqing tactfully gave up resisting.

But to her surprise, Wang Chenning didn’t take his revenge wantonly.

At first, Wang Chenning was rough—so rough that Luo Yuqing grew scared.

But once the "main event" began, Wang Chenning changed his approach, unlocking many new "poses" for her, and she slowly started to relax.

Moreover, Wang Chenning only made her experience the "true meaning of life" twice before he was satisfied.

This was the most satisfying outcome for Luo Yuqing, and the one she was most willing to accept.

But she couldn’t understand Wang Chenning’s intentions.

"You’re not angry anymore?" she murmured, nestled in his arms and tracing circles on his chest with her finger. "I thought you were going to torture me until I was a wreck and couldn’t walk for a month!"

"I don’t like other people arranging my life, in any aspect," Wang Chenning said slowly and deliberately. "You can’t arrange my life either. I hope you won’t be a smart-ass about it."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Luo Yuqing huffed. "I’m trying to help you! Didn’t I say that if you don’t marry Zhao Xiao’an, I can do more for you? I also don’t want to see Zhao Xiao’an heartbroken over you, feeling like you toyed with her emotions."

"Do you think I’d ever give up on any of the outstanding women who have appeared in my life?"
