Peerless Medical Emperor

Chen Qingdi and Shen Mingyue had known each other for a long time and shared a deep bond.

However, besides Shen Mingyue, Chen Qingdi also had three female confidantes. These three women were not only exceptionally beautiful but each possessed her own unique charm, making it difficult for Chen Qingdi to part with any of them.

One day, Chen Qingdi decided to sign his villa over to Shen Mingyue and moved his three confidantes into her home.

The next day, the decision took Shen Mingyue by surprise. She asked Chen Qingdi, ”You moved these three gorgeous women into my house. Aren’t you afraid I’ll get jealous?”

Chen Qingdi smiled and gently patted Shen Mingyue’s shoulder.

”In my heart, there’s only you. Think of them as your sisters now. You’re an intelligent, open-minded woman; you should be able to understand my situation.”

Shen Mingyue knew a man of Chen Qingdi’s status couldn’t possibly have only one woman. She fell silent for a moment before speaking.

”Alright, I understand. But remember, this is my house, not some place you can all come and go as you please. These women will also have to pass a test of mine.”

Chen Qingdi smiled. ”Of course. I’ll make that clear to them. From now on, this is our home. They can come, but only with your permission.”

Shen Mingyue nodded, satisfied. ”Good.”

As time went on, Shen Mingyue gradually adapted to life with the three women. The four of them looked after and supported one another, forging a deep friendship.

Chen Qingdi also visited them often, bringing joy and warmth into their lives.

One evening, Chen Qingdi suddenly told Shen Mingyue that he had to leave for a while to handle some matters.

Although he didn’t reveal any specifics, Shen Mingyue could sense that he seemed deeply troubled.

In the days following Chen Qingdi’s departure, life for the four women grew a bit lonely. They often gathered to chat, reminiscing about the wonderful times they had spent with him.

Shen Mingyue firmly believed Chen Qingdi would return. She encouraged the other three, saying, ”I believe he will come back. We can’t just give up; we have to keep trusting and supporting him.”

Throughout this period, Shen Mingyue was a pillar of strength. She not only took good care of herself and the other three women but also frequently comforted them, telling them not to worry too much.

Several months passed in the blink of an eye.

During this time, the four women continued to support and encourage one another. They shared many unforgettable moments and faced numerous difficulties and challenges together.

Before long, Chen Qingdi returned. Overwhelmed with emotion, he embraced each of the women, thanking them for their unwavering patience. He also told them that the Evil God Sect would not be making an appearance again anytime soon.

After Shen Mingyue’s company issued a statement announcing that Chen Qingdi had passed away, the public widely accepted the news.

However, no one knew that Chen Qingdi hadn’t actually died. Instead, he had taken the alias Yang Yang and remained by Shen Mingyue’s side as her assistant.

Shen Mingyue, for her part, now presented herself as a beautiful widow at the helm of a large, highly profitable company.

This combination of factors immediately drew the attention of the wealthy young masters of Jinghai City. Among them, the one who spared no expense was Eldest Young Master Fang Jiahao of the Jinghai Fang Family.

Fang Jiahao would wait for Shen Mingyue outside her villa during the day and be there to meet her at night, sending her meals and flowers, doting on her endlessly. However, Shen Mingyue was unmoved by his passionate pursuit, even treating him with a touch of disdain. Time and time again, Eldest Young Master Fang’s warm advances were met with a cold shoulder.

”Miss Mingyue, look how full the moon is tonight—as perfect as your face,” Fang Jiahao said obsequiously.

Shen Mingyue shot him a look and replied coldly, ”The moon waxes and wanes. Flowers don’t bloom for a hundred days, and no one’s luck lasts forever. Mr. Fang, do you really think this is how you should pursue someone?”

Fang Jiahao was taken aback, not expecting such a cold response from Shen Mingyue. He gave an awkward laugh and pressed on.

”I’m merely trying to express my admiration for you. I hope I might have the opportunity to spend a pleasant evening with you.”

”I already have my own life and plans,” Shen Mingyue interrupted him. ”Mr. Fang, please stop wasting your time on me.”

A wave of disappointment washed over Fang Jiahao, but he didn’t give up. He was confident that his status and charm would eventually win Shen Mingyue’s heart.

Upon hearing the news, another scion of a powerful family, Eldest Young Master Li Hong of the Li Family, also joined the ranks of Shen Mingyue’s suitors.

He was even more ostentatious than Fang Jiahao, not only sending flowers and gifts but also publicly declaring his intention to spend the rest of his life with Shen Mingyue.

Shen Mingyue met their advances with a consistently cool and distant demeanor. She knew these men were only interested in her beauty and wealth and cared nothing for her as a person.

Nor would she be easily swayed by their sweet talk.

One evening, as Shen Mingyue was in her office alone working through some files, Chen Qingdi walked in.

”You’re here, Chen Qingdi. It’s been tough on you lately,” Shen Mingyue said without looking up.

”Mingyue, these files are all taken care of,” Chen Qingdi replied.

Shen Mingyue looked up and found Chen Qingdi staring at her. ”Is something wrong?” she asked.

Yang Yang hesitated for a moment, then asked, ”Setting me aside for a moment... why don’t you accept their advances?”

Shen Mingyue was taken aback for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

”They’re so shallow. They’re only interested in my looks and my family’s status. If I accepted any one of them, it would all come to nothing in the end.”

Chen Qingdi fell silent. After a moment, he spoke again. ”You’re right. Still, we should think of a way to get rid of them for good.”

Hearing this, Shen Mingyue’s heart was touched. She knew Chen Qingdi was genuinely concerned for her life and happiness.

「Two days later.」

Shen Mingyue stood in her magnificent office, holding a partnership proposal, her brow furrowed.

She knew this would be a major turning point, a journey fraught with challenges.

”Mingyue, I’m here to get you.” A bright, cheerful voice from the doorway shattered her pensive mood.

Shen Mingyue gave a small smile and nodded. ”Chen Qingdi, let’s go.”

As her assistant, one who followed her like a shadow, Chen Qingdi had already become indispensable.

The two soon arrived at the other company’s building. An imposing skyscraper stood before them, like a great guardian, a silent witness to the city’s prosperity and constant change.

He led Shen Mingyue into the building, and they crossed the opulent lobby to take an elevator straight to the top floor.

”President Zhang is already waiting for you,” Chen Qingdi reminded her softly.

Shen Mingyue took a deep breath, composed herself, and walked into the meeting room with a smile.

Her eyes swept across the room, landing on a face that was both familiar and strange. ’Zhang Zixuan.’ He was one of the men who had once pursued her, and whom she had rejected.
