Chapter 840 - 838: Learning About the Celestial Pill Sect
"I’m not really sure, but one reason might be because of me." Yang Xinru knows her own situation well; her father had already told her that her special constitution makes her a targeted individual for cultivation by the Celestial Pill Sect, but she really doesn’t know what for.
Given how powerful the Celestial Pill Sect is, they are just a large family in the Capital City and wouldn’t dare to oppose them. Her father doesn’t allow her to leave the Capital City casually, and this is the reason why.
"Huh? Why are they looking for you? Are you well acquainted with the Celestial Pill Sect?" Chen Tianlong felt a bit puzzled.
"Not really, but I’m one of the people they need. It seems to be for some big plan that I don’t quite understand. Now that they’ve come over, I guess I’ll have to return to the Capital City soon and won’t be able to continue studying with you guys." At this point, Yang Xinru’s pretty face turned somber, inexplicably feeling down.
Even though she had only been here for half a month and logically shouldn’t have developed strong feelings, the thought of leaving Chen Tianlong and the others fills her with a sense of reluctance.
Especially her unwillingness to leave Chen Tianlong.
"No way, are you leaving? What does the Celestial Pill Sect want to do? You’re doing fine in South Sea City and aren’t bothering them, so why do they insist on you returning to the Capital City?" Chen Tianlong asked, puzzled.
"I don’t know. I also told my dad that I could cultivate in South Sea City as well, and since I usually do it at night, it’s the same anywhere with no real impact." Yang Xinru said, feeling a bit helpless.
"And if you don’t go back, what are the consequences?" Chen Tianlong’s gaze suddenly turned sharp.
Yang Xinru frowned, knowing what Chen Tianlong was thinking, and hurriedly said, "Chen Tianlong, don’t be reckless. The Celestial Pill Sect is really terrifying, you’re not a match for them."
Taking a deep breath, Yang Xinru stood up and said, "Alright, thank you, Chen Tianlong, I had a great time tonight. As for my matters, please don’t worry about them. Even though I’ll miss you all, I have to obey my father’s orders and go back."
"Sigh... alright." Chen Tianlong nodded in agreement, then drove Yang Xinru back to school.
Upon returning to the villa, Wu Mengting, Li Bingshuang, and the young master Liu Ting had clearly finished dinner and were watching TV and chatting in the hall. Seeing Chen Tianlong return, they all looked over.
"Chen Tianlong, where did you go? It’s so late." Wu Mengting asked.
"Oh, I invited Yang Xinru to dinner. She saved my life before, and I heard she’s about to leave South Sea No.1 Middle School to return to the Capital City." Chen Tianlong stated honestly, as there was nothing out of the ordinary about it.
"I see, I really didn’t expect Xinru to go back so soon." Wu Mengting didn’t question it further and walked up to Chen Tianlong, saying, "You’ve been running around a lot lately and must be tired. You should go rest and take a bath."
Chen Tianlong chuckled wearily, feeling not very tired from sleeping but a bit disappointed. He had planned to get cozy with Wu Mengting tonight, but hearing her say that, he felt let down.
Yet, his subtle reaction was noticed by Li Bingshuang.
Sure enough, after taking a bath, Chen Tianlong’s room door knocked softly. He was initially surprised, then quickly walked over. There were only Wu Mengting, Li Bingshuang, and the young master in the villa.
Therefore, there was no need to be shy. Even wearing just shorts, Chen Tianlong didn’t feel embarrassed.
In strict terms, Wu Mengting and Li Bingshuang would certainly be his wives in the future, while the young master is like a sister, an entirely different kind of sister, so it doesn’t matter if she saw.
Indeed, upon opening the door, there appeared Li Bingshuang wearing a sexy strappy nightgown. Without the cold, CEO persona, Li Bingshuang became gentle and endearing. Just looking at her, Chen Tianlong already felt urged to pounce.
"Ah! Chen Tianlong, why aren’t you dressed properly?" Li Bingshuang blushed and looked down, embarrassed.
"Oh, if the wife comes, why wear clothes? I’d rather take them off." Chen Tianlong grinned mischievously and promptly closed the door.
"Why close it? If Mengting misunderstands later, what?" Li Bingshuang hurriedly said, her face turning even redder.
"Oh, hasn’t she already misunderstood?" Without waiting for Li Bingshuang to continue, Chen Tianlong picked her up.
However, Chen Tianlong wasn’t doing anything mischievous. After a kiss, they both sat up. After all, they were at home, the legitimate wife was still downstairs, and they really couldn’t get caught in the act.
"Bingshuang, now that your company is gone, you seem to have more time. Do you want to work?" Chen Tianlong recalled the company’s urgent need for talent, and Li Bingshuang evidently was a senior executive. Entrusting the company to her would put his mind at ease.
But clearly handing over everything is impossible, since Li Jingwen and Li Tianyou are the company’s leads, suddenly changing the leader would create internal conflict.
"I do want to, but someone has to want me." Li Bingshuang answered sincerely.
Originally a CEO, if she’s looking for a job in South Sea City, it’d at least be as a regional director or general manager. But such positions aren’t readily available, given the city’s poor economy and lack of big companies willing to spend that kind of money to hire.
"Don’t forget who I am. I’m the CEO of World Medicine. If you don’t mind our company being small, how about being our vice president? Eight percent shares plus bonuses." Chen Tianlong straightforwardly proposed.
Upon hearing this, Li Bingshuang felt deeply moved; this wasn’t just hiring her, it was appointing her, akin to being the boss’s wife.
It’s clear how important she is to Chen Tianlong.
"Are you sure about this? Mengting won’t be jealous?" Li Bingshuang smiled slightly.
"Hehe, we’re all family, big and small wives, why draw distinctions? Besides, she still has to study, graduate, maybe even seek a Ph.D., plenty of years ahead. By the time she’s ready to work, we’ll have already grown the company into a leading global enterprise." Chen Tianlong chuckled.
"Haha, that’s true. Then I accept your offer and will report to work tomorrow." Li Bingshuang was going crazy weeks ago; accustomed to being in the career field, suddenly becoming a housewife was very unadaptable.
"It’s a bit rushed, make it next Monday. Let me first inform the company." Chen Tianlong said casually.
"OK, let me know when it’s settled." Li Bingshuang replied candidly.
"Haha, alright." Chen Tianlong grinned, his gaze gradually falling on Li Bingshuang’s body, suddenly feeling excited; tonight, Li Bingshuang wore very seductively.
"So, not going back tonight?" Chen Tianlong took a deep breath and asked.
"What if we’re discovered?" Li Bingshuang knew Chen Tianlong’s intent; ultimately she’s his person, and doing something wouldn’t matter.
