Chapter 10: Chapter 10 Let me show you if I have the guts!

"Yeah, not only playing with fire but wanting to play with you too."

Zhang Yaqing’s soft, delicate body pressed against Chen Xiao, making an intense heat course through him. Her small hands, in particular, kept provocatively teasing him, almost making him explode on the spot.

The next moment, his eyes turned cold. He tightly grasped her misbehaving hand and said indifferently, "You’d better not play with fire."

"Isn’t it nice to let you feel some fiery passion?" Zhang Yaqing lay on his chest, tracing circles and teasing him like a kitten.

SMACK!

Chen Xiao slapped her wandering hand away. Then, he flipped over and pressed her underneath him.

Instead of getting angry, Zhang Yaqing laughed, hooking her legs tightly around his waist and licking her red lips. "You’re quite well-equipped."

A surge of lust shot through him, but Chen Xiao sneered as he pushed her away. "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. Whatever you and Luo Qingli are fighting about has nothing to do with me. I won’t be your pawn! If there’s a next time, I’ll make sure your little plan backfires spectacularly!"

He stood up and said coldly, "Prepare the final payment. I’m leaving."

Chen Xiao’s indifference didn’t anger Zhang Yaqing; instead, it made her even more curious about him. She had indeed tried to seduce him to prove she was no worse than Luo Qingli. If he had wavered for even a moment, she would have immediately pulled away.

I can’t believe this man actually resisted my temptation.

She was very surprised.

After a good ten seconds, she finally parted her red lips. "How much do you want for your payment?"

Chen Xiao stated his terms. "The Zongheng Chamber of Commerce just sent forty-eight men after me. That’s one million each, plus the twenty million final payment, for a total of sixty-eight million! As for your treatment, that’s free. Consider it a favor."

Zhang Yaqing was speechless.

Good grief, can you really calculate it like that?

She giggled lightly. "Wait a moment. I’ll have someone send it to you soon. I need to take a breather... you were a little too intense just now, and I couldn’t quite handle it."

Unable to put up with her any longer, Chen Xiao opened the door and walked out.

Outside, Zhang Wudao rushed in. "Sis, what did that guy do to you? I thought I heard..."

Zhang Yaqing shot him a disdainful look, then murmured, "I almost wish he *had* done something to me. Luo Qingli, I never expected you to have such good taste. This man is interesting..."

"Go prepare sixty-eight million and transfer it to his account immediately!"

Zhang Wudao was stunned. "Sis, did that guy... really cure you?"

"Of course he did!" Zhang Yaqing shot him a withering glare. "Be polite to him. Maybe he can cure your premature problem."

Zhang Wudao’s face flushed. "Sis, I really don’t have..."

"Enough! You used to chase women all the time, and now you act so innocent. Do you take me for a fool?"

Dejected, Zhang Wudao left the room.

Meanwhile, in the corridor, Chen Xiao received a call from Qin Lan.

"Chen Xiao, are... are you done? I... I can’t hold on much longer..."

"What’s wrong?" Chen Xiao was puzzled.

Why does her voice sound so strange? It’s a bit like the sounds Luo Qingli makes when she’s about to climax...

"Don’t... don’t ask! Just... hurry back!" Qin Lan gritted her teeth and hung up.

Did something happen?

Chen Xiao instinctively quickened his pace, heading straight to Qin Lan’s lounge and opening the door.

However, the door had barely opened when a soft figure flung herself at him and forced a kiss on his lips. The burning warmth of her body reignited the fire he had just suppressed. Qin Lan’s slender hands began exploring his body, making him react instantly.

"Hey, have you lost your mind?"

Qin Lan didn’t respond, instead gnawing wildly at his face as she pushed him down onto the sofa and straddled him. The friction made Chen Xiao feel like he was about to explode. Exhaling a fragrant breath, she slipped off her outer clothes. The dazzling sight of her pale skin instantly appeared before him, sending a bolt of lust straight to his gut.

He was suddenly jolted to his senses.

This isn’t right. She’s been drugged! I was so careless; I can’t believe I didn’t notice sooner.

Qin Lan’s face was flushed, her seductive eyes dazed—the clear signs of a drug.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath, pushed her away, and took out several Silver Needles. "You’ve been drugged. I’ll use these Silver Needles to drive out the poison. Sit still!"

Qin Lan laughed seductively, pressing against him again. Her hot body clung to his chest as she breathed on his face. "Those needles are too small. I like them bigger. Or are you just not up to it?"

Not up to it?

Chen Xiao’s face turned ashen. "Considering you’re talking nonsense because of the drug, I won’t hold it against you."

Qin Lan was even more dismissive. "Hah, you just can’t perform. Any normal man would have lost control by now, right?"

Suppressing his own urges, Chen Xiao said through clenched teeth, "I’m married to Luo Qingli. Aren’t you two best friends? What is all this?"

"It’s called having an affair," Qin Lan said, her face burning. She stared at him like a predator, her hand sliding slowly down his bronze skin. "Isn’t a wife’s best friend more exciting? Are you even a man? I’m not afraid, so what are you scared of?

"Or are you... too small and feel insecure in front of me?

"Or perhaps, you just can’t get it up at all?

"No wonder Qingli looks down on you. So you’re just an impotent man who’s all for show—a silver spear with a pewter head!

"A gutless piece of trash!

"Hmph, forget it. Messing with a loser like you is an insult to me. I’d be better off handling it myself!"

With that, she endured the strange sensations wracking her body and tried to climb off him, but in the next moment, Chen Xiao grabbed her wrist.

First Zhang Yaqing, and now her? Do they really think I’m a pushover?

Qin Lan’s heart skipped a beat. In an instant, she met Chen Xiao’s indifferent, blood-tinged gaze.

"I was going to use acupuncture to resolve the drug’s effects, but it seems there’s no need for that anymore...

"Now, I’ll let you see for yourself whether I’ve got the guts or not!"
