The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Lin Ruoxi’s Troubled Heart

Unfortunately, in the face of Yang Haotian’s team of bodyguards, Gu Feiyun’s meager strength was utterly insignificant.

He was subdued in an instant.

The soundproofing in the break room was decent, but Gu Feiyun could have sworn he heard the sweet cries of Yang Qiuyu.

That alone spoke volumes about the intensity of the situation.

He used to love the sound of Yang Qiuyu’s voice.

But now, Gu Feiyun’s heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.

The surrounding crowd shot mocking looks at Gu Feiyun, their eyes seeing a lush green pasture—the unmistakable sign of a cuckold—growing right on his head.

=====

For Cheng Yuan and Lin Ruoxi, absence had clearly made the heart grow fonder. Their passionate reunion lasted until two in the morning before they finally fell asleep.

The two slept until the sun was high in the sky. By the time Cheng Yuan slowly opened his eyes, sunlight was already warming his face.

As his consciousness slowly returned, Cheng Yuan found Lin Ruoxi nestled in his arms like a docile kitten.

Cheng Yuan rolled over, pinning Lin Ruoxi beneath him and capturing her sweet lips in a kiss.

Startled awake, Lin Ruoxi instinctively pressed her hands against his chest. She looked at Cheng Yuan with a slightly fearful gaze and pleaded in a low voice, ”Darling, I’m so tired, and I’m still a little sore. Please, let me rest.”

Cheng Yuan adored Lin Ruoxi, so even though he desperately wanted more, he reigned in his desires.

”Alright, I’ll let you rest for the day. We’ll go again tonight.”

The color drained from Lin Ruoxi’s face. She felt that Cheng Yuan was a primordial beast with infinite stamina. At this rate, she’d die in bed sooner or later.

”Tomorrow... Let’s see how things are tomorrow and talk then...”

Cheng Yuan smacked his lips reluctantly. ”Tomorrow? Fine...”

Sensing his slight resentment, Lin Ruoxi suddenly had a bizarre thought. ’Cheng Yuan is an absolute beast. If only someone could help me shoulder some of the burden...’

Lin Ruoxi was shocked by her own audacious thought!

’How could I have come up with such a ridiculous idea?’

’Have I already accepted Hu Shishi deep down in my heart?’

’Am I really going to let that big scoundrel have it so easy?’

A wave of irritation suddenly washed over Lin Ruoxi. She peevishly pushed Cheng Yuan away, then got dressed and went to wash up.

Cheng Yuan was completely baffled. ’What’s gotten into her?’

’She was fine just a moment ago, and last night, she was more than cooperative...’

Utterly confused, Cheng Yuan got out of bed and washed up. The two of them went to the cafeteria for a simple breakfast at ten o’clock.

As soon as she heard Lin Ruoxi was awake, Hua Fangfang rushed to the cafeteria. She approached Lin Ruoxi’s side and said with a hint of anxiety, ”President Lin, Du Jiacai and his father, Du Jinlong, have been kneeling at the main gate of Yuanxi Pharmaceutical since early this morning. They’re still there now!”

Lin Ruoxi’s expression darkened. ”What are they trying to do?”

”They’re demanding that we restore Du Pharmaceutical’s status as a secondary distributor. Otherwise, they say they’ll kneel there indefinitely!”

”Then let them kneel!”

Hua Fangfang gave a wry smile. ”President Lin, a number of tabloid reporters have shown up to cover the story. I’m worried this will negatively affect Yuanxi Pharmaceutical’s image.”

Lin Ruoxi frowned deeply. ”Are those two trying to force our hand by acting like shameless thugs? Let’s go. I want to see just what gives them the nerve.”

Cheng Yuan reached out and took Lin Ruoxi’s hand, speaking gently. ”Honey, since that father and son are so willing to generate buzz for Yuanxi Pharmaceutical, we should take advantage of the free publicity.”

”Publicity?”

”Aren’t they trying to ruin our corporate image? If we use this opportunity to do some charity work, we can absolutely give our image a huge boost.”

”Darling, you always know what to do.”

Cheng Yuan smiled at Hua Fangfang. ”Assistant Hua, immediately procure a batch of supplies—food, bedding, clothes, and so on. We’ll be heading to the orphanage to make a donation shortly.”

”Yes!”

As they were talking, a pouting young girl walked over, grabbed Cheng Yuan’s arm, and started shaking it vigorously.

”Brother, I don’t want to study! I want to train with you! Tell Sister not to get me a tutor, please?”

Cheng Yuan turned and saw it was Shen Youchu, whom he hadn’t seen in days.

In the short time since he’d last seen her, Shen Youchu seemed to have grown a couple of centimeters. She had blossomed a little, becoming even prettier, and her figure had filled out a bit.

Cheng Yuan shook his head sternly. ”Youchu, I support your training, but studying is also necessary! You have to at least get into college. I promise you, once you’re accepted into a university, you can train by my side.”

”But I just finished the eighth-grade curriculum! Getting into college will take at least another year. It’s so frustrating!”

A year felt like a long time to Shen Youchu, but everyone else who overheard was left speechless.

’Finishing the last year of junior high and all three years of high school in a single year? That’s insane!’

Cheng Yuan ruffled Shen Youchu’s hair. ”Be good now. The year will fly by.”

”But without training by your side, Brother, my cultivation progress is too slow. I’m still stuck at the Martial King Peak, unable to break through to Martial Emperor.”

Cheng Yuan took out a few Essence Enhancing Pills and casually tossed them to Shen Youchu. ”Will these do?”

Shen Youchu’s pout instantly vanished, replaced by a joyful grin. ”Brother, you’re the best! With these three Essence Enhancing Pills, I might reach the rank of Martial Emperor today!”

”Then what are you waiting for? Go train.”

”Okay, Brother.”

Shen Youchu skipped away happily. In reality, she had already accepted the study arrangement; she had just come over to wheedle a few Essence Enhancing Pills out of him. Now that her mission was accomplished, she could go train with a smile.

「At the main gate of Yuanxi Pharmaceutical.」

Du Jiacai and Du Jinlong were already swaying, on the verge of collapse.

This was especially true for Du Jinlong, whose old injuries were now acting up, making his condition even worse.

With a violent retch, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

The nearby tabloid reporters’ shutters clicked nonstop, capturing the scene. They had already thought up their headlines!

Of course, whether those stories would ever be published depended on whether Yuanxi Pharmaceutical knew how to play the game.

Fu Qingzhu had also blended into the crowd of tabloid reporters. She held a camera, snapping photos with a convincing, professional air.

Fu Qingzhu had waited outside Villa No. 1 for days, and now, finally, Cheng Yuan had appeared.

What frustrated Fu Qingzhu was that while Cheng Yuan’s cultivation was supposedly only at the Martial King realm, his presence felt incredibly oppressive.

Fu Qingzhu’s sixth sense was rarely wrong. She was absolutely certain that if she were to attack rashly, she would be the one to die.

She had followed him all the way from Luocheng to the Provincial City, but Fu Qingzhu still hadn’t found an opportunity to strike.

Fu Qingzhu could only continue to wait patiently. Sooner or later, there would be a moment when Cheng Yuan let his guard down, a moment when his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were weakened.

And now, Fu Qingzhu believed she had found her chance.

’With Du Jiacai and his father causing such a ruckus and smearing the Yuanxi Group’s name, Cheng Yuan’s state of mind is bound to be affected, right?’

’As long as his mind is in turmoil, that will be the perfect moment to strike.’

SCREECH! A large truck pulled up and stopped in front of the gate.

A moment later, Cheng Yuan and Lin Ruoxi emerged.

Fu Qingzhu’s gaze sharpened. She raised her own vital energy to its peak, ready to act. The instant Cheng Yuan’s aura wavered or his spirit fell into disarray, she would strike without hesitation and kill him in a single blow.

But to Fu Qingzhu’s surprise, Cheng Yuan didn’t even spare a glance for Du Jiacai and his father. Instead, he turned to the reporters with a gentle smile.

”Hello, friends from the press. I’m on my way to an orphanage to donate some supplies. Would any of you like to come along?”

With that, Cheng Yuan and Lin Ruoxi climbed into the large truck without a moment’s hesitation.

They left the Du father and son, as well as the reporters, utterly dumbfounded.
