Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Chu Nan had never been to a bar before.

First, he had no money; second, given his special circumstances, coming to such a place would be a complete waste of time.

As he followed Xia Wantang in, surrounded by neon lights, his thoughts weren't on the novelty, but rather...

This is not the place to discuss serious matters.

As soon as the two entered, a receptionist greeted them, "Hello madam, may I ask—"

Where is Xue Beichen?

Xia Wantang's expression was indifferent, and she directly interrupted the other party's question.

Upon hearing the name, the receptionist's expression visibly changed, and she hesitated before asking, "Madam, what is your relationship with Young Master Xue?"

Before Xia Wantang could finish speaking, a reprimanding voice rang out, "Is it any of your business, a mere receptionist, to inquire about President Xia's status?"

Then, a burly man with a buzz cut walked over.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the receptionist immediately bowed like a startled rabbit and said, "Brother Leopard."

The man known as "Brother Leopard" waved his hand impatiently, "This is none of your business, get lost!"

Although he was dressed in a well-fitting suit, his gait and tone of voice were full of thuggishness.

In addition, the receptionist didn't even dare to make eye contact before fleeing in panic.

And that scar that ran from the corner of his mouth to his jawline made it clear at a glance that he was not someone to be trifled with.

Chu Nan secretly sized up the other person and noticed that the joints of his fingers were covered with calluses, clearly indicating that he was a trained martial artist.

However, when facing Xia Wantang, this "Leopard Brother" had a smile on his face. "President Xia, you've finally arrived. Young Master Xue has been waiting for you for a long time."

Xia Wantang seemed unwilling to give the other party any face, coldly saying, "Enough nonsense, take me there."

The man with the buzz cut wasn't angry at all; instead, he still had a smile on his face. "Mr. Xia is right. It was me, Ah Bao, who talked too much."

Led by the other party, they soon arrived at a private room filled with bodyguards.

Although these bodyguards were not as muscular as the man with the buzz cut, they were all serious and orderly, clearly having undergone professional training.

"Young Master Xue is inside, Mr. Xia, please."

Before Ah Bao could even extend an invitation, Xia Wantang had already stepped into the private room, and Chu Nan immediately followed.

He didn't quite understand what Xia Wantang meant by "stay close to me".

Now that he has seen the scarred man and the scene before him, he roughly understands why Xia Wantang brought him here.

However, Chu Nan had only taken two steps when he felt a cold wind rush to the back of his head.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, a hint of surprise flashed across Ah Bao's face as he threw the punch. "You actually managed to block my punch, kid... you're interesting."

Chu Nan slowly lowered his arm, his gaze darkening. "Looking for trouble?"

"Heh, quite fierce, but if I had to say something..."

As Ah Bao was speaking, the smile on his face suddenly vanished. "You're the one who's causing trouble, aren't you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bodyguards around him quickly gathered.

Just as a conflict was about to erupt, Xia Wantang's angry shout rang out, "What are you going to do to my people!"

Ah Bao, who had initially looked fierce, immediately scratched his head and smiled sheepishly when he saw Xia Wantang come out. "Ah? Is this one of President Xia's people?"

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! I thought he was some drunkard who was lusting after your beauty."

Misunderstand?

If I hadn't reacted quickly enough to avoid that punch, I probably would have passed out from the concussion.

It's no exaggeration to say that this guy was clearly trying to kill me!

Chu Nan may be afraid of trouble, but that doesn't mean he lacks the ability to handle it.

"Sorry, brother, I didn't know you were one of President Xia's men. I went a little too far. You're not angry about that, are you?"

Ah Bao apologized, but his expression and tone were full of provocation.

"Don't bother with a servant like him, let's go inside."

Xia Wantang walked over, pulled Chu Nan aside, and whispered, "Remember what I said before I came in. All you have to do today is stick close to me."

She appeared calm, but Chu Nan could clearly sense that her palms were sweaty.

It's obvious that this usually charming and alluring older sister...

My inner self at this moment is not as calm as it appears on the surface.

Chu Nan couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, especially in a place like Beihai.

Who could possibly be the person that Xia Wantang, a member of the Yaotai Billion Club, is so on high alert?

The private room was much larger than it appeared from the outside, and there was an entrance hall inside.

"I know you young people are all impulsive, but this person is not someone you can mess with."

"If anything happens later, don't try to be brave like you did before. It's best to call the police as soon as possible."

Xia Wantang whispered her instructions, in fact, she was already somewhat regretting bringing Chu Nan along.

At the time, she only thought that having a man by her side would make Xue Beichen less likely to have any wicked thoughts.

But Ah Bao's punch just now made her understand.

In the face of a behemoth like Xue Beichen, an ordinary person like Chu Nan was utterly intimidating.

But now it's too late for regrets.

I can only hope that things won't turn out as badly as I imagine.

The private room was luxuriously decorated, but the atmosphere was eerie.

There was no extravagance or debauchery, only a young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses sitting on the sofa.

Apart from having a high nose bridge, his appearance is actually quite ordinary, but his clothes are extremely appropriate, and he has an air of aristocratic elegance.

He was eating fries while watching the Tom and Jerry antics playing on a large-screen TV with great interest.

This creates a strong sense of disconnect between it and her own noble temperament.

"sit."

While saying this, Xue Beichen did not look up, his attention was still on the TV, and he even laughed out loud without caring about his image.

Xia Wantang frowned slightly, but didn't sit down. "Let's get straight to business. How much money would it take for you to transfer the patent to me?"

Xue Beichen didn't answer Xia Wantang's question, but called out towards the door, "A-Bao!"

"Young Master Xue, what are your orders?"

Completely different from his attitude towards Chu Nan and Xia Wantang, A Bao behaved with extreme respect.

Xue Beichen, without even looking up, said, "Pour President Xia a glass of wine."

"yes!"

Xia Wantang said angrily, "Xue Beichen, I came to talk business with you, not to drink!"

"Mr. Xia, we agreed to meet at nine o'clock, and you're a full half hour late. Wouldn't it be the least you can do to show me respect by punishing yourself with a drink?"

Xue Beichen stared intently at the television, casually picked up a French fry and stuffed it into his mouth. "Of course, you can also choose not to drink and just leave."

As they spoke, Ah Bao had already handed the poured wine to Xia Wantang. "President Xia, please."

"I drove here, so I can't drink."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Whether it was because the cartoon was too funny or because he thought Xia Wantang's excuse was too lame, Xue Beichen burst into laughter.

After laughing, he took a tissue and carefully wiped each of his fingers clean.

Then, he pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and continued watching TV, saying, "It seems President Xia has no intention of apologizing... Ah Bao, see the guest out."

Just as Ah Bao was about to take the wine back, Xia Wantang took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Wait! I'll drink it!"

Just as she reached out to take the wine, Chu Nan suddenly grabbed her wrist. "Sister Tang, you can't drink this wine."
