Peerless Medical Emperor

”I have nothing against you. After all, a woman as outstanding as Miss Huazi is the wife every man dreams of. But I’m sorry, I simply can’t accept another woman into my life.”

This was from the heart, and it was the truth.

After talking with Chen Qingdi for a while, Xiaoye Huazi realized she couldn’t persuade him and decided to give up. At the same time, however, she was captivated by his charm and told him she was willing to wait until the day he changed his mind.

Having been repeatedly rejected by Chen Qingdi, Xiaoye Erfu had no intention of letting him leave so easily. He planned to use other methods to handle him.

”Chen Qingdi, you’ve got some nerve, daring to refuse me. Let me tell you, if you take one step out that door, you will be an enemy of the Xiaoye Family. I’m sure you’re well aware of what those consequences will be!”

Xiaoye Erfu’s chilling voice rang out.

Chen Qingdi stopped in his tracks.

He turned to look at Xiaoye Erfu, a sharp, cold glint flashing in his eyes.

”I believe I have no quarrel with your esteemed family. Mr. Xiaoye, threats like these are incredibly impolite. We Huaxia people are proud to our very bones. Your threats will only serve to anger me, not foster any friendship between us.”

With that, Chen Qingdi turned to leave.

Xiaoye Erfu’s brow furrowed deeply, and he let out a cold snort. ”Someone as young as you is far too audacious. I’ll give you one last chance. As long as you agree, both this eighty-million check and the support of the Xiaoye Clan will be yours. If you refuse again…”

Xiaoye Erfu didn’t finish his sentence.

But Chen Qingdi understood the implication.

Those words meant… bloodshed.

”Heh.” Chen Qingdi laughed mockingly and turned his head. ”Mr. Xiaoye Erfu, I believe you’ve misunderstood something. I do not need the Xiaoye Clan’s support, nor will I accept it. So, if you’re thinking of resolving this with force, you’d best abandon that notion immediately. Otherwise…”

”Otherwise what?” Xiaoye Erfu asked coldly, his eyes narrowed.

Seeing that the two were about to clash again, Xiaoye Huazi quickly stepped forward and ordered someone to escort Chen Qingdi out.

After returning to Mingyue Group, Chen Yuan and the others were very curious about his trip to the Outer Island. After a moment’s thought, Chen Qingdi felt there was nothing to hide and recounted his experience in detail.

After hearing his story, everyone’s expression turned grim.

”Boss, are you telling me you weren’t the least bit tempted? Forget about the Xiaoye Clan’s power for a second. Just having the gorgeous Miss Huazi willing to be your personal secretary, no strings attached, is enough to make countless men green with envy!” Miao Lang said, his tone thick with obvious envy.

”Yeah, Boss! We’re not afraid of a fight, but who would turn down a beautiful woman gift-wrapped and handed to them? Besides... that Miss Huazi is so beautiful it’s unreal.” The corner of Dong Kui’s mouth curled up. ”If I could land a girl like that, I’d be on cloud nine.”

”All three of you, get the hell out.”

Seeing the three of them teasing him, Chen Qingdi said irritably, ”If we can’t cooperate on fair terms, I’d rather give up on the project entirely.”

Thinking of the opportunity, Chen Qingdi felt a twinge of regret, but he didn’t regret his decision. If he had to do it all over again, he would still make the same choice.

”The boss is wise! The boss is farsighted!” Miao Lang gave him a thumbs-up, laying on the flattery.

Although the three of them teased Chen Qingdi, in their hearts they truly admired him. Not many men could refuse such a temptation.

A man like Chen Qingdi was a rare find indeed. If it were them, they would have taken the risk and gone after Miss Huazi.

Chen Qingdi didn’t know what they were thinking. He just began to reflect on the incident. ’Things like this are bound to happen again. I’ll have to be more careful when dealing with these powerful tycoons from now on.’

”All of you, stay on your guard for a while,” Chen Qingdi said. ”I rejected Xiaoye Erfu so bluntly, and he did not look happy. He might try to make a move against us.”

Miao Lang chuckled. ”Don’t worry, Boss. With our backing, even if Xiaoye Erfu wants to stir up trouble, he’ll have to think twice. If he dares to make a rash move, we won’t mind making sure his losses are even greater.”

”That’s right, Boss. You can rest easy. We brothers are united, and together we’re strong enough to cut through steel. There won’t be any problems.”

”Haha, drinks are on me today! Let’s go, brothers!”

Watching them laugh and joke around, Chen Qingdi shook his head helplessly. ”I have a feeling this isn’t as simple as you all think,” he said.

For the next several days, Chen Qingdi contemplated his next move. He knew more challenges likely awaited him.

However, something unexpected happened. He received several more similar calls, all from people hoping to establish a partnership through a marriage alliance. Some even went so far as to contact Shen Mingyue’s side directly.

”Well, well, if it isn’t our ever-so-charming President Chen. Fancy you remembering the way home.”

Hearing the hint of jealousy in Shen Mingyue’s voice, Chen Qingdi couldn’t help but rub his head. ”Don’t be jealous. You know I’d never agree to something like that.”

”Hmph.” Shen Mingyue huffed, saying indignantly, ”What gives them the right to try and force you like this? I won’t stand for it.”

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi smiled and gently pinched Shen Mingyue’s cheek. ”Their forcing me is useless. There’s no room for anyone else in my heart.”

After speaking, Chen Qingdi coughed and cleared his throat. ”Alright, I’ll handle this. You don’t need to get involved. Don’t worry.”

Chen Qingdi’s reasons weren’t just that he already had Shen Mingyue and Qin in his life; he was also fundamentally repulsed by such underhanded partnership tactics.

He didn’t believe a partnership built on a marriage alliance could ever be stable. On the contrary, he felt it would bring numerous hidden risks and complications, especially since the power imbalance between the two parties was so vast.

Chen Qingdi had been forged in blood and fire. He understood certain rules of the mortal world better than anyone, which was why he knew such marriage alliances were ultimately worthless.

The deeper their interests became entangled, the greater the likelihood of future conflict. Chen Qingdi would not allow such a situation to occur.

”I’ve heard from outsiders that all those rich heiresses looking for a marriage alliance with you are drop-dead gorgeous. Aren’t you the least bit tempted?”

Shen Mingyue asked, still feeling a little insecure. She didn’t want someone else to snatch Chen Qingdi away.
