Chapter 169: Do You Want Her or Not
"Huh?"
Liu Xiaoqing looked embarrassed. What on earth was her best friend up to? Asking her to come over at this time? That guy was lying in bed with her. How would she face this situation later?
But there was no choice. Although she was a best friend, she was also the CEO. Liu Xiaoqing could only follow orders, bowing her head as she walked over.
"Chen Tianlong, do you want Xiaoqing or not? Just say it."
Li Bingshuang jumped straight to the point.
Chen Tianlong was stunned at first but soon realized what was happening. Still, he found it amusing. Were they here for business negotiations or matchmaking? If he hadn’t seen Li Bingshuang himself, Chen Tianlong might have thought he had come to the wrong place.
Meanwhile, Liu Xiaoqing was even more shocked. What did her best friend want? Was she hoping Chen Tianlong would marry her?
"Chen Tianlong, are you deaf? I’m asking you a question?"
Li Bingshuang’s expression began to turn somewhat unpleasant, and Chen Tianlong noticed this. Still, he was puzzled. Was there really someone forcing him to marry?
"Excuse me, are we here for business, or for a wedding?"
Chen Tianlong asked with a bitter laugh.
"Kid, don’t play dumb with me. I know all about you and Xiaoqing. You slept with her, so you must take responsibility. If you’re unwilling to bear the responsibility, then I have no reason to believe that you can collaborate happily with me." Clearly, Li Bingshuang had tied these two matters together.
If he wanted to negotiate business deals, he had to agree to the matchmaking first.
"No, I have a girlfriend."
Chen Tianlong said firmly.
"Hmph, then please leave. There’s no need to discuss collaboration."
Li Bingshuang waved her hand with considerable flair.
"What if I don’t leave?"
Chen Tianlong found it amusing now. He had already set aside the matter of company collaboration. This woman was unbelievably arrogant, daring to threaten him.
Thus, Chen Tianlong stepped forward and sat directly on Li Bingshuang’s desk, crossing his legs arrogantly as he stared at her.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoqing became anxious and rushed over, saying, "President Li, Chen Tianlong, don’t argue. It’s all my fault. I’m the one who pushed him."
"..."
Li Bingshuang was speechless. She was trying to help Liu Xiaoqing get some benefits, but unexpectedly, she was helped by her instead.
However, Chen Tianlong’s actions made her intolerant. She was the boss here and a skilled fighter. No one had dared to be so bold towards her.
She immediately slapped towards Chen Tianlong, but he was unaware of how violent this woman was, striking out at any moment. So, he quickly turned his face and blocked with his back.
"Smack!"
A crisp slap sounded, but it landed on Chen Tianlong’s back instead of his face.
Liu Xiaoqing was utterly bewildered. She hadn’t expected that in just a short while, the two would start fighting. What was going on?
At this moment, two bodyguards wearing suits and sunglasses rushed in from outside, specifically to protect Li Bingshuang. They heard sounds of fighting inside and immediately dashed in.
"Get out! Do not come back in."
Li Bingshuang angrily pointed at the two bodyguards and said.
The two bodyguards were taken aback, nodded innocently, and quickly walked out, closing the door behind them.
"Don’t think I won’t dare to hit you just because you’re the president." Chen Tianlong said coldly.
"Haha, do you think you have that ability?"
Li Bingshuang spoke while rising to her feet and walked up to Chen Tianlong, her perfect figure suddenly appearing before him.
In that moment, Chen Tianlong softened a bit. With such a tender and exquisite beauty, how could he be harsh?
Yet at the moment of his hesitation, Li Bingshuang’s hand swung over again, but this time Chen Tianlong was prepared and grabbed it.
Li Bingshuang was anything but calm. As soon as Chen Tianlong grabbed her wrist, her left foot sprang up from below like a coiled spring, aiming towards Chen Tianlong’s crotch.
Chen Tianlong quickly jumped back to dodge, but his brows furrowed. This woman attacked with venom in every strike—clearly not an ordinary woman.
Indeed, Li Bingshuang was Yan Nanfei’s first disciple, naturally skilled in vicious techniques.
"Well, kid, not bad. You actually managed to dodge my attack from such a close distance." Li Bingshuang said with some amusement.
"Hah, I didn’t expect the president of Baiyun Group to be a violent maniac."
After delivering his cold remark, Chen Tianlong turned to leave.
"Want to leave? No way."
As soon as the words fell, three knives flashed out from Li Bingshuang’s hand, flying towards Chen Tianlong’s back. Though she didn’t want to kill, Chen Tianlong was just too arrogant, forcing her to teach him a lesson.
Apparently, Chen Tianlong sensed the rushing wind at his back, urgently rolling on the ground, and the three knives clanged against the wall. Now Chen Tianlong started to move.
In the next moment, their fists collided, producing a dull sound.
Chen Tianlong sensed a forceful inner strength and stepped back two or three steps. Li Bingshuang was indeed exceptional. Until now, only she had been able to withstand blows with Chen Tianlong without issues.
At that moment, Chen Tianlong’s fists were somewhat painful, and so he gently flexed them to loosen his hands.
That’s when Li Bingshuang noticed something—a thing that instantly lowered her defensive stance—the ring on Chen Tianlong’s finger.
Originally, Chen Tianlong was about to strike when Li Bingshuang, as if discovering a new continent, walked right up to him, took his hand, and asked, "Chen Tianlong, where did you get this thing?"
"Damn! Are you kidding me? We’re in the middle of a fierce fight, and don’t think using the ’beauty trick’ will fool me."
Chen Tianlong looked wary. This woman was too weird—first she cursed, then she fought, and now she suddenly held his hand—what did it mean?
"Come on, you shameless. I just want to know where this ring came from?" Li Bingshuang glared at Chen Tianlong, obviously realizing he misunderstood.
"Ring, what ring?"
Chen Tianlong was stunned, then looked at his right hand and suddenly remembered.
He had really forgotten. He came here to find Li Bingshuang and show her the ring. Who knew she would be so violent, leaving him unable to speak amidst all the scolding and fighting? It was quite frightening.
"Right, Master asked me to give this to you, saying that you’d understand when you saw me wearing it. Now it seems you really figured it out. Turns out the old man tricked me, carrying this broken thing only to get beaten up!"
As Chen Tianlong spoke, he took it off and directly handed it to Li Bingshuang.
"Whoa... Kid, what did you just say? Master? You’re saying it was your Master who gave the ring to you?"
Li Bingshuang gasped, knowing that Master Yan Nanfei wouldn’t easily take on disciples, much less give away the Sect Leader’s Ring randomly. The only possibility was that Master intended to pass the Hidden Weapons Sect’s leadership to this kid.
"Xiaoqing, step outside for a moment." Li Bingshuang considered the matter crucial and didn’t want even Liu Xiaoqing, her best friend, to know about it.
