The Beautiful CEO's Personal Mad Doctor

Cheng Yuan quickly helped Jiang Daoyue up. ”Divine Doctor Jiang, you’re a senior in the Traditional Chinese Medicine Community. There’s no need for this. Since you’ve fully recovered, I’ll be taking my leave.”

Jiang Daoyue said warmly, ”Divine Doctor Cheng, give me an address, and I’ll have the Alchemy Furnace shipped back for you.”

Cheng Yuan smiled and waved his hand. ”Thank you for the kind offer, Divine Doctor Jiang, but I can take it back myself.”

With that, Cheng Yuan scanned his surroundings.

’I sent He Zhixuan an invitation. She must have seen me put on that divine display and crush Park Hao. Surely she believes me now, right?’

However, as Cheng Yuan scanned the surrounding crowd, he couldn’t find any sign of He Zhixuan.

Cheng Yuan found this a little odd.

’Senior Sister didn’t come?’

’Or did she already leave?’

Jiang Daoyue asked gently, ”Divine Doctor Cheng, are you looking for someone?”

”A friend. I gave her an invitation, but I don’t see her here. I’m not sure if she came.”

As he spoke, Cheng Yuan’s brow furrowed. Based on his knowledge of He Zhixuan, if she had come, she would have certainly greeted him.

’What exactly went wrong?’

Gui City Ming County was a mid-to-high-end residential community where apartments sold for twenty thousand a square meter.

The people who could afford a home in Gui City Ming County were mostly high-level, white-collar professionals.

As a senior partner at a prestigious law firm, Liu Qingcheng had paid in full for a two-bedroom apartment in Gui City Ming County.

It wasn’t large, but it was very cozy.

Liu Qingcheng was very self-disciplined and woke up early, but she had stayed home from her law firm to take care of He Zhixuan.

He Zhixuan had gotten extremely drunk the night before and was still asleep.

BZZZ... BZZZ...

He Zhixuan’s phone buzzed more than a dozen times.

However, Liu Ruyan had set her phone to silent.

He Zhixuan was jolted awake by a full bladder. Her eyes flew open, and she leaped out of the large bed, dashing into the bathroom.

After relieving herself, a look of ease washed over He Zhixuan’s face.

Suddenly, a thought struck her, and the color drained from her face.

He Zhixuan cried out in alarm, rushing out of the bathroom and straight toward the bedroom!

Liu Ruyan, startled, jumped up from the sofa and hurried to the bedroom.

”Zhixuan, what’s wrong?”

He Zhixuan clutched her hair in frustration.

”Why didn’t my alarm go off? I’ve missed a golden opportunity! It’s almost 11 o’clock! The match between the Han Medical Needle Saint and Divine Doctor Jiang must be over by now!”

Liu Ruyan looked at He Zhixuan apologetically. ”Zhixuan, you were so drunk last night and tossing and turning for hours. I was worried your phone would wake you up, so I put it on silent. That’s my fault...”

He Zhixuan knew Liu Ruyan had her best interests at heart and gave a bitter smile. ”How could I blame you, Ruyan? Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be.”

With that, He Zhixuan snatched up her phone.

She had over ten missed calls.

Most of them were from Pei Yuanbin, and the rest were from her eldest uncle.

The only number she didn’t see was the one she had just saved the night before, the one that was already etched into her memory.

There were also dozens of text messages.

He Zhixuan quickly scrolled through them.

But to her disappointment, aside from a few spam texts, most of them were from Pei Yuanbin.

”Zhixuan, the match between the Han Medical Needle Saint and Divine Doctor Jiang is about to start. Are you sure you don’t want an invitation?”

”Zhixuan, call me when you see this! The match has started. I heard Divine Doctor Jiang found someone to compete in his place!”

”Zhixuan...”

Even after reading the last message, she still hadn’t found a single text from Cheng Yuan. Her heart sank, and she couldn’t help but let out a deep sigh.

”Sigh!”

Liu Ruyan asked with feigned nonchalance, ”Zhixuan, why the long sigh? Tell me what’s bothering you.”

”Cheng Yuan said he was going to give me an invitation yesterday. But the match between Acupuncture Saint Park Hao and Divine Doctor Jiang is already over, and I haven’t heard a single word from him...”

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes, annoyed. ”Don’t tell me you actually fell for Cheng Yuan’s crap, Zhixuan. He’s just an ex-con fresh out of prison! Not to mention, he’s not even from here. How could he possibly get his hands on an invitation? Besides, he pissed off Young Master Lin last night. It’s a miracle if he’s even still alive!”

He Zhixuan tensed up, instinctively grabbing Liu Ruyan’s arm.

”Ruyan, what did you just say? What Young Master Lin did he offend? Did this happen after I got drunk?”

Worried her best friend would do something foolish, Liu Ruyan tried to brush it off. ”Oh, just some small-time gangster. It’s probably not a big deal.”

He Zhixuan knew Liu Ruyan too well; she could tell she was lying in an instant.

”Ruyan, if you don’t tell me the truth, I’m calling Lanxin. I know she won’t lie to me.”

Liu Ruyan sighed. ”Alright, since I can’t hide it from you, I’ll tell you the truth. Last night, Cheng Yuan beat up Brother Long’s son, Young Master Lin. He’s dragged Lanxin into some serious trouble. I don’t even know if Lanxin Bar will be able to stay open. I heard Brother Long himself is on the move, and he’s heading for Lanxin Bar. Cheng Yuan’s prospects are looking grim...”

He Zhixuan asked in a trembling voice, ”Brother Long? Which Brother Long?”

”How many Brother Longs do you think there are in Gui City? It’s exactly who you’re thinking of: the master of the White Palace, the Lord of the City himself—Zhou Shilong.”

The color drained from He Zhixuan’s face.

’How could Cheng Yuan dare to hit Brother Long’s son?’

’What’s he going to do?!’

Just as He Zhixuan was beside herself with worry, her phone rang. She glanced at the screen instinctively, and her expression immediately lit up with elation.

Cheng Yuan!

It was Cheng Yuan’s number!

She answered the call with a trembling finger, her voice shaking as well, terrified that she would hear someone else’s voice on the other end.

Fortunately, a familiar voice came from the other end.

”Senior Sister, why didn’t you come watch? My match with the Han Medical Needle Saint is already over!”

Under normal circumstances, hearing Cheng Yuan say something like that would have earned him a massive eye-roll from He Zhixuan, who might have even told him to shut up.

’We’re close friends, can’t you just stop bullshitting for a second?’

But now, He Zhixuan burst into tears and started sobbing.

”SOB... Cheng Yuan, you’re alive? Thank God! Oh, thank God!!”

Cheng Yuan was taken aback. ”Senior Sister, what’s wrong? Please don’t cry! When you cry, I don’t know what to do.”

He Zhixuan struggled to hold back her tears. ”Cheng Yuan, Ruyan told me what happened last night! Why were you so impulsive? How could you hit Brother Long’s son? You need to leave Gui City right now! Go as far away as you can! And never come back!”

Cheng Yuan grinned. ”Don’t worry, Senior Sister. I’ve already cleared up that little misunderstanding with Zhou Shilong. He’s on our side now.”

He Zhixuan was about to lose her mind.

’How did I not realize he was such an insufferable braggart back in school?’

’At a time like this, how is he still in the mood to posture?’

’Zhou Shilong is the Lord of the City! You think he’s just going to let you ”clear up a misunderstanding”?’

”Cheng Yuan, I’m being serious! I’m going to get angry if you keep spouting nonsense!”

Cheng Yuan felt helpless. He was telling the absolute truth, but his Senior Sister refused to believe him.

”Alright, alright, let’s not talk about last night. So, why didn’t you come to watch the match, Senior Sister? Didn’t you get the invitation?”
