Chapter 339: Chapter 339: No Ulterior Motives

Yang Xiaofei was a bit taken aback by Wang Chenning’s words.

But she didn’t say anything more. She remained silent until the car pulled into the driveway of her villa.

After entering the villa, she went straight upstairs.

As she was going up the stairs, she turned and instructed Wang Chenning, "I’m going to take a shower. You can sit for a bit. I had someone prepare some fruit and snacks, so have some if you’re hungry. Come up and help me with my treatment after I’m done showering!"

Wang Chenning agreed.

About twenty minutes later, Yang Xiaofei, dressed in a nightgown, walked to the top of the stairs. She called out to Wang Chenning, who was sitting on the sofa eating, "I’m done!"

After saying that, she turned and went back into her room.

Wang Chenning washed his hands, picked up his treatment kit, and went upstairs.

When he got upstairs, Yang Xiaofei was already lying on the bed.

The room was brightly lit, but the curtains were drawn tight.

Wang Chenning saw that Yang Xiaofei, fresh from her shower and wearing only a nightgown, was a sight that sparked the imagination.

At Wang Chenning’s instruction, Yang Xiaofei lay down on the bed.

However, she was a little more reserved than the previous two times, though she didn’t resist.

While Wang Chenning treated her, she didn’t make a sound or open her eyes.

For the sake of the treatment, Wang Chenning untied her nightgown, and she still accepted it.

This surprised Wang Chenning, but it was also a relief.

As the treatment was nearing its end, Wang Chenning smiled and asked her, "Would you like a massage?"

Yang Xiaofei nodded lightly.

So, Wang Chenning began to massage her, just like last time.

Yang Xiaofei remained lying down with her eyes closed, her body quite relaxed.

After the massage, Wang Chenning didn’t immediately pack his things. Instead, he leaned down and gently caressed Yang Xiaofei’s hair and face.

Yang Xiaofei didn’t shy away, letting Wang Chenning stroke her hair and face.

Wang Chenning slowly moved closer and kissed her on the lips.

She still didn’t avoid him, but she didn’t respond with the same passion as before.

As Wang Chenning kissed her gently, she remained passive.

After a while of intimacy, Wang Chenning stood up and began to pack his things. "I’m leaving. Get some rest and sleep well!"

Yang Xiaofei opened her eyes and watched Wang Chenning quietly, but she didn’t speak.

After Wang Chenning finished packing, he gave her another smile, said goodnight, turned off the light, and left with long strides.

Yang Xiaofei didn’t call him back, nor did she send him a text.

After leaving Yang Xiaofei’s place, Wang Chenning went straight to Luo Yuqing’s.

Luo Yuqing was quite surprised to see Wang Chenning arrive so early.

She was still handling some business and hadn’t showered yet.

When she saw Wang Chenning, she immediately dropped what she was doing, draped herself over him, and asked him to carry her to the shower.

Wang Chenning didn’t refuse. He carried her into the bathroom and they showered together.

While they showered, Wang Chenning told her his plans for the near future and asked Luo Yuqing to help him clean up the aftermath.

He wanted Luo Yuqing to handle Bai Qianxun and Zhang Guoping for him, or at least prevent them from retaliating immediately.

"Fine. I’ll go see Bai Qianxun and Zhang Guoping tomorrow and give them the carrot and the stick." Luo Yuqing finally yielded to Wang Chenning’s domineering attitude, agreeing reluctantly. After she agreed, she grumbled, "I never get to do any of the good stuff. You always send me to do the dirty work. In your eyes, am I just born to be a maid?"

"Don’t you want to be a queen mother figure? Then you have to handle these little things, right? What if they take me out? Then your dream would be impossible, wouldn’t it?" Wang Chenning held Luo Yuqing, pressing her body completely against his, and looked into her eyes with a teasing expression. "Your performance lately hasn’t been very good, you know."

"Alright, alright!" At a time like this, Luo Yuqing was in no mood to banter with Wang Chenning. She quickly agreed, "Just tell me what you need me to do. I’ll treat your business as the most important matter there is. How’s that?"

"That’s more like it!" ’Luo Yuqing is full of her own little schemes,’ Wang Chenning thought. ’What I need to do now is to gradually wear them down.’

’This woman... I have to make her stand in the same trench with me, advancing and retreating as one.’

’I absolutely cannot let her plot against me.’

Luo Yuqing’s performance really hadn’t been very good lately, so Wang Chenning decided to get a little revenge on her.

Of course, Luo Yuqing couldn’t withstand Wang Chenning’s "revenge" and was quickly routed.

When Wang Chenning finished his "punishment," she said languidly, "Don’t deliberately get revenge on me like this next time. Just give me the best experience, okay? If you have other ideas, I’m willing to give them a try. It’s fine if you want to bring Yang Xiaofei or Yang Xiaofu over, just don’t drag Zhao Xiao’an into it!"

From the way Wang Chenning had dealt with Bai Qianxun, Zhang Guoping, and Lin Annian, Luo Yuqing also felt a sense of fear.

She had a new understanding of Wang Chenning’s capabilities.

Originally, Luo Yuqing thought Wang Chenning wouldn’t move against those people without conclusive evidence.

Especially Bai Qianxun.

Everyone knew about Bai Qianxun’s explosive temper. Most people wouldn’t, and didn’t dare, to provoke him.

But unexpectedly, Wang Chenning had struck them without having solid proof, not even sparing Bai Qianxun.

Moreover, he had been ruthless, injuring Bai Qianxun badly enough to land him in the hospital.

This showed just how ruthless Wang Chenning could be.

Also, the fact that Wang Chenning hadn’t dealt a heavy blow to Lin Annian was clearly a case of preferential treatment.

She also hadn’t heard of any "accident" befalling Lin Anning.

Luo Yuqing concluded that Wang Chenning had no intention of completely burning bridges with the Lin Annian siblings.

’That guy... he might have actually taken my advice to heart. He might have even done something to Lin Anning already.’

It had to be said, a woman’s sixth sense was sometimes surprisingly accurate.

What unsettled Luo Yuqing the most was that Wang Chenning hadn’t relied on her, Zhao Xiao’an, or Yang Xiaofei’s power. He had sent his own people to carry out the revenge.

In other words, in just one short month, Wang Chenning had acquired his own power base, one that she didn’t fully comprehend.

She couldn’t completely control Wang Chenning, and he was unwilling to be completely controlled by her. He even hid many things from her, which made her worried.

That was why she had ultimately begged for mercy from Wang Chenning.

Now that Luo Yuqing had yielded, Wang Chenning could relax.

’We’re all smart people,’ he thought. ’Although there are feelings between us, it’s more a relationship of mutual use. We should all be a little more pragmatic.’

After "taking care of" Luo Yuqing, Wang Chenning didn’t leave immediately. He massaged her for a while to help her recover some strength, then had her stay and talk with him.

Wang Chenning shared some of his thoughts and plans with her, especially regarding the upcoming apprenticeship ceremony and further cooperation with Pu Zhengyang and Tian Zhongxin. He wanted Luo Yuqing to be deeply involved in all of it.

He also wanted her to participate in their new joint venture.

He didn’t mention that the Lin family was obstructing his efforts to build a laboratory.

He didn’t want Luo Yuqing to get involved in this matter. Academic affairs were not something she should be a part of.

"I really underestimated you!" After listening to Wang Chenning, Luo Yuqing sighed softly. "You’re much more formidable than anyone imagines!"

Then she hugged Wang Chenning tightly and said emotionally, "Anyway, I’m sticking with you for the rest of my life. You’re not allowed to abandon me. I want to be the most important woman in your life!"

Wang Chenning looked at Luo Yuqing with a half-smile. "Then you’d better start acting like the most important person!"

Luo Yuqing understood what Wang Chenning meant and immediately agreed, "Okay!"

’I really need to make some big moves,’ Luo Yuqing thought, ’or else Wang Chenning will look down on me.’

She already had an idea of what to do!
