It was truly a tale of two extremes, with Cheng Xiaofan chatting and laughing with the beautiful women, while Pu Shicheng and his group were consumed by anxiety, their hearts burning with worry.
Pu Shicheng, in particular, was filled with regret, wishing he could just smash his head against a wall.
He couldn't believe he had been so foolish, inviting trouble with a divine being like Cheng Xiaofan.
Now, everything was lost. Not only was his Swiss bank account emptied, but the entire Pu Shi Pharmaceutical Group had been handed over.
And what awaited him were handcuffs and prison bars.
The meal lasted over an hour.
Cheng Xiaofan's face was flushed from drinking.
He intentionally refrained from using his spiritual energy to dispel the alcohol from his system.
Feigning drunkenness, he said to Pu Dongbao, "Pu Dongbao, I have a habit of taking a short rest after lunch."
"After I've rested, I will proceed to treat your superior."
Pu Dongbao quickly replied, "Of course, of course, Mr. Cheng, everything is as you wish!"
At this point, he dared not bring Cheng Xiaofan to treat his superior.
Seeing Cheng Xiaofan's seemingly intoxicated state, if he were to go now and make a mistake with the medicine, causing the death of the superior's entire family, he would be in deep trouble.
He turned to Pu Shicheng and said, "Quickly, arrange a place for Mr. Cheng to rest!"
Pu Shicheng replied, "There are bedrooms on this floor."
"Sister Shuhui, please escort Mr. Cheng there!"
Pu Shuhui responded, "I understand!"
She led Cheng Xiaofan to the bedroom door and had a server open it.
As Cheng Xiaofan entered the bedroom, he casually pulled Pu Shuhui inside with one arm and closed the door with the other.
"Ah!"
Caught off guard, Pu Shuhui let out a startled cry.
"Mr. Cheng, what are you doing?"
Cheng Xiaofan flashed her a charming smile.
Upon seeing his smile, Pu Shuhui felt her knees go weak.
This man was incredibly alluring to women.
"Beautiful Miss Pu,"
Cheng Xiaofan said with a smile, "If I'm not mistaken,"
"You were smitten with me the moment you first saw me."
"You even thought to yourself, is this the man I've been waiting for?"
"Why, as soon as I saw him, I wanted to dedicate myself to him?"
"..." Pu Shuhui was utterly abashed by his words.
She thought, these are all my inner thoughts,
How could he have seen through them all?
What kind of eyes did this man possess?
Like a deep ocean, like brilliant stars,
A single glance felt as if one were sinking into his eyes.
"Why aren't you speaking?"
Seeing her blushing and silent, Cheng Xiaofan gently lifted her delicate chin and smiled, "Did I say something wrong?"
Pu Shuhui closed her eyes slightly, her breathing deepening.
She whispered softly, "Mr. Cheng, you are absolutely right!"
"Hold me, I need you!"
"I... am yours!"
Cheng Xiaofan, naturally, did not refuse. He scooped her up in his arms.
And walked towards the bed.
Everything felt so natural.
As if, when Cheng Xiaofan arrived in Han country,
Heaven had already arranged for Pu Shuhui to be his.
She would not only become his woman,
But also a capable manager in the Han country Cheng Shi Pharmaceutical Group.
...
More than an hour later.
Pu Dongbao, who had been waiting anxiously outside, finally saw Cheng Xiaofan emerge from the bedroom, looking refreshed.
His sister followed, her walk slightly unsteady.
Pu Dongbao was utterly perplexed.
His sister was known for her cool demeanor; normally, very few men could get close to her.
But how had this young man managed to win her over so quickly?
"Mr. Cheng, have you rested well?"
Pu Dongbao quickly stepped forward, asking with a fawning expression.
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "I have rested well, let's go to your superior now!"
Pu Shuhui said, "Mr. Cheng, may I invite you to dinner tonight?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled, "Of course, it would be rude to refuse an invitation from the beautiful Miss Pu!"
Pu Shuhui said happily, "Great, I'll call you then."
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "Alright, it's a deal."
He knew that the transfer of the vast Pu Shi Pharmaceutical Group into his name would not be completed by Pu Shicheng in just an afternoon.
Since his own Cheng Shi Divine Medicine was being managed by others at home, he had no urgent need to return.
It wouldn't hurt to stay here for a day or two.
It wouldn't be too late to take all the documents back then.
After parting ways with Pu Shuhui, Cheng Xiaofan got into Pu Dongbao's car.
In less than twenty minutes, the car stopped in front of a luxurious villa.
Pu Dongbao got out, opened the car door for Cheng Xiaofan, and said with a smile, "Mr. Cheng, we've arrived!"
As Cheng Xiaofan emerged from the car, Pu Dongbao stepped forward and rang the doorbell.
A middle-aged aunt, dressed as a housekeeper, opened the door.
Upon spotting Pu Dongbao, she said, "Captain Pu has arrived. Come in. The master was just furious, saying you've ruined him. Hurry up and go see him!"
Pu Dongbao replied, "Thank you, Aunt Li, I'm going up now!"
Entering the house, he led Cheng Xiaofan upstairs.
On the second floor, they could hear an old man shouting from a bedroom.
"Pu Dongbao, that scoundrel, I'll have him shot!"
"What Pu Shi Divine Medicine, it's nothing but poison!"
Then, a woman sighed, "Husband, don't get so angry,"
"Pu Dongbao didn't mean to harm you. He's always been very filial."
"He gives you gifts during every festival."
The old man shouted, "Why can't I be angry? Look, if it weren't for this brat, would our entire family be paralyzed in bed?"
Pu Dongbao arrived at the bedroom door and knocked three times.
He said cautiously, "Commander An, Pu Dongbao has come to see you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, An Jilin's furious roar came from inside: "Pu Dongbao, get out! I don't want to see you!"
Pu Dongbao quickly said, "Commander An, I've brought a divine doctor with me this time, someone who can quickly get your whole family out of bed."
"Silence!"
An Jilin roared, "I've invited so many renowned doctors, and none could cure us."
"Where did you find some quack doctor who can make my whole family stand up from bed?"
Pu Dongbao replied, "To Commander An, the divine doctor I've invited is named Cheng Xiaofan. He is the esteemed Lord recently who led the expedition to Danwan Country and was sealed by Meng Xizi!"
*Thump!*
A sound of someone falling to the floor from the bed suddenly came from inside.
Immediately after, An Jilin's voice echoed from within, "Quick, quickly invite the esteemed Lord inside!"
