Chapter 51 A Relaxing Day (Part 2)

But Zhang Bing still managed to take full advantage of Xue'er.

They ate and chatted happily until halfway through when one of the countless men in the hall, who had been secretly admiring Xue'er's beauty, finally couldn't resist any longer. A well-dressed young man walked over with a smile, bowed politely to Xue'er, and said, "Miss, my name is Li Jun. You are the most beautiful angel I have ever seen. May I invite you to join me in enjoying the night view of this provincial capital?" He then handed over a gold-embossed business card.

Xue'er's smile remained unchanged, seemingly experienced in handling such matters. She smiled and pointed at Zhang Bing, "Ask my husband, I'll listen to him!"

Seeing the man about to speak again, Zhang Bing immediately interrupted. He smiled and snatched the business card from Xue'er's face, casually slipping it into the young man's suit pocket. "Mr. Li Jun, right? If you're willing to trade your BMW for my beat-up Jetta, I'd be interested to see your business card. How about it? My wife and I will take you on a tour of the provincial capital in our BMW, guaranteeing you'll see every night view, even if you want to run naked in this winter!"

His words were sufficiently rude and roguish, leaving the young man red-faced and speechless. He angrily pointed at Zhang Bing, finally storming off. Zhang Bing, pleased with himself, leaned closer to Xue'er, "Wife, how was your husband's talk? Pretty clever, right? A little reward?"

"Go to hell!" Having been taken advantage of again, Xue'er, perhaps genuinely satisfied with the previous scene, didn't step on him again. She simply tapped his head, which was leaning in, with her chopsticks. "The reward is plentiful, want another one?"

"So stingy! At least give me a French kiss or something! My husband's been putting on such a show!" she complained.

"If you keep using those terms, I'll really get rough!" Xue'er's tone was now very formal. She always hated unmarried young men and women calling each other "husband" and "wife." She had only tried to get rid of that annoying man, but he was still clinging to it.

Zhang Bing could only rub his nose and chuckle awkwardly. "Let's eat, let's eat, then we'll go play!"

Xue'er was satisfied, so after dinner, she let Zhang Bing take advantage of her again, pulling his arm even tighter and pressing it against her chest, showing no intention of settling scores.

"Hmm, very full and soft, feels good, definitely over 34E!" Zhang Bing was puzzled by her initiative and probed.

"Don't act innocent after getting the benefits. Someone was behaving well just now, so you've already taken advantage of me. It doesn't matter if you take a little more!" Xue'er said softly, the most embarrassing thing she'd ever said. Although she secretly enjoyed holding Zhang Bing like that, her face flushed as she explained, "I already said you're my husband. I'm only doing this to give you face, otherwise outsiders would see through it."

She said this, but from that moment on, Xue'er didn't let go of her beloved man's arm for the entire day, acting like a blissfully happy woman immersed in the sweetness of love. Zhang Bing knew her feelings for him from the beginning, and today he only wanted to have fun, so he didn't provoke her further. Besides, being held by a beautiful woman was prestigious, and he could occasionally feel the softness of a young girl's breasts—it was really enjoyable!

"Where are we going now, beautiful director?"

"Destination: Martyrs' Park, let's go!" Xue'er waved her hand, issuing the order.

"Let's get this straight, there are a lot of things inside that I've wanted to try for a long time but haven't dared to. You have to stay with me all day so I can have a good time. Otherwise, I'll go back and tell the old Party Secretary that you're bullying me!" Xue'er was determined to have a good time today. Firstly, she wanted to play, and secondly, she could tell from last night that this man was preoccupied and under a lot of pressure. She hoped that relaxing today would be good for his mind and body, so she didn't mind letting him have some fun.

"Ah? Xue'er, you want me to risk my life to keep you company? Well—I'm a bit of a coward, can I get a reward to bolster my courage first?" Zhang Bing bargained again with a cheeky grin. He knew Xue'er wouldn't really get angry, so he shamelessly moved his face as close as possible to Xue'er's bright red lips.

"Go to hell!" This time, the slender flesh on his waist got the treatment. After Zhang Bing moved his face away in pain, Xue'er gave him a charming and seductive look. "We'll see how you perform!" Beautiful women often do this, making a false promise to keep you hanging on, but in the end, it's basically impossible to keep it, because she can say you didn't perform well.

Zhang Bing was, of course, very familiar with this technique. Feeling relaxed and fully embracing his roguish nature, he naturally had a trick up his sleeve. He suddenly kissed Xue'er on the cheek, then quickly ran away. "Haha, half payment first, how about it? My kiss was very sweet!"

"You shameless bastard! See how I deal with you!"

"Haha, catch up with me then!"

"Wait for me! How can I run in these high heels? I'm exhausted! I'm going to complain to the old Party Secretary when we get back."

"Then I'll just say it directly, it's because I kissed you."

"You—you stop right there, you lewd and shameless pervert Zhang Bing!"

"Unless you promise not to pursue my unintentional act of affection?"

"Unintentional? Hmph—okay, I promise you, come help me, I'm exhausted."

"Ah—it hurts! Xue'er, don't pull my ear, it hurts! You promised not to pursue it?"

"Hmph, you believe a little woman's words? Serves you right!"

"Heavens, how did I run into such a treacherous she-devil?"

"Enough nonsense, come with me to the underground demon palace."

"Miss Xue'er, it's so dark down there, it's scary. Shall we go play something else?"

"No way! A real man should protect us weak women. Are you even a man?"

"Do you want to prove your identity? It's easy for you."

"You're shameless and lewd! Let's go!"

"Fine, you insisted on this. If I accidentally touch something I shouldn't while I'm scared or protecting you, don't pinch me!"

"You dare!"

"Xue'er, why did you fall? Come on, let me help you. Hey, what's this? Round and soft, it feels so good. Let me squeeze it again? Ah, Xue'er, let go! I didn't mean to, I can't see here!"

——————

"Xue'er, let's go down. I'm scared of this aerial bike. I have a fear of heights."

"I know, your sister told me yesterday."

"Then why did you deliberately come up here? The most poisonous heart is a woman's!"

"Hehe, whatever you say, but our lovely village chief, don't fall! It's so high up here! Don't hold onto my hand so tightly, you're hurting me!"

"Director Xue'er, Grandma Xue'er, let's go downstairs, I'm dizzy!"

"My grandson is so good! Will he bully me again next time? Do you want me to touch him again? He seemed so happy and smug just now!"

"Good Xue'er, you're like a fairy from heaven, the most beautiful, the gentlest, and the kindest. How could I offend you? If I did, it was definitely unintentional. I promise I'll be more careful next time!"

"What? There's a next time? It seems someone really doesn't know what's going to happen. This lecherous person doesn't know what will happen if this bicycle wobbles?"

——————

"I want to play bumper cars, I want to bump into you!"

"Let's go play on the trampoline! It feels so good to jump."

"Let's go ride the jet ski, the feeling of soaring through the waves is amazing."

"Let's go—"

——————

"Xue'er, how can you treat me like this? If you want to play, go ahead, why do you have to drag me along! I'm going to get angry."

"What if I'm scared if I don't take you?"

"So, Xue'er, you think I'm your boyfriend?"

"You're so vain! Like I said, maybe I can consider it a year from now."

"Oh, then I'll have to pursue her properly. I dream of my Xue'er throwing herself into my arms! Just thinking about it makes me happy!"

"Vain! Watch your mouth, what do you mean 'your Xue'er'? Don't take advantage of me."

"Okay, okay! Xue'er, sitting on this little boat drifting in the wind, my embrace is especially warm. Do you want to lean against me?"

"Who wants to! By the way, look, there are golden fish swimming in the water, so beautiful."

"I'm a little sleepy, Zhang Bing, can I lean against your leg? I want to lie down and sleep for a while."

"Zhang Bing, it's a little cold, could you please hold me tighter?"

"Zhang Bing, a small boat, a gentle breeze, water and sky merging into one, willows swaying, so romantic and beautiful! Shall we come again next week?"

"Sure! I might not be free next week."

"What if you are free?"

"If I'm free, I want to rest at home and spend more time with my parents."

"Then I'll come to your house to keep you company?"

"Huh? No, I might have to go out for something."

"Then will you come with me to go boating and stroll in the park next week?"

"Xue'er, I—I said, we won't..."

"Then it's settled. You promised, and a man doesn't go back on his word!"

"But, Xue'er, we—I think the boyfriend you find will treat you very, very well, unlike me who always bullies you, right?" "

Zhang Bing, didn't you want a reward just now? Close your eyes."

"Huh? Xue'er, that was a joke. We're just ordinary friends, we can't..."

"Hmph, all talk and no action! Who touched and kissed you just now? Now I'm going to get my revenge!"

"Ah, Xue'er, there's a legal term for this called 'indecent assault'!"

"Zhang Bing, you should cherish this. This is the first time I've ever kissed a boy."

"But Xue'er, I..."

"Don't talk. Enjoy this romantic and warm atmosphere. Hold me tighter, I'm cold!"

Chapter 52 Fighting (Part 1)

After leaving the Martyrs' Park, it was already late. The winter nights come especially early.

The road ahead is long, and the night is long. Perhaps things will get better after this winter, and the darkness won't be so long. By spring, my work should have yielded significant results, and I won't be so stressed anymore, right? Zhang Bing looked at the last rays of sunlight casting their glow across the dim sky and sighed to herself.

"Xue'er, did you have fun today? Let's drive faster so we can get back in time for dinner, okay?" Seeing that Xue'er still seemed reluctant to leave, Zhang Bing quickly offered her suggestion, afraid she might come up with another idea to go out and play.

"No, I haven't had enough fun yet! You said it yourself, we have to play all the money the old Party Secretary gave us to make up for it, right? Next, I'll take you to my old school area to eat some snacks. It's a university district, and the snack street there is very famous. Then we'll go bungee jumping or ice skating, and finally go to a hot spring, how about that?"

"Oh my god, what time are you planning to go home?" Zhang Bing immediately had a headache. This girl is usually quiet and reserved, but she's so wild when she's having fun. Normally, Zhang Bing wouldn't have a problem with her, but Xue'er's hints on the boat today were tantamount to a confession, making him want to run away. Although he also had some feelings for her, his feelings were already messy enough. Zhang Bing really didn't want to involve any more women. Feelings can hurt both parties, and besides, he wanted to develop his career in the officialdom, and his reputation was very important. He had to be careful about women. Even County Chief Ma had explicitly warned him last time.

"We can play until whatever time we want, we can just not go today. Anyway, with you here to protect this little girl, what am I afraid of?" Xue'er was in a good mood and spoke much more openly than usual, probably because her earlier confession had given her courage, and she had a determined look on her face.

"Ugh! Aren't you afraid that in the middle of the night, this big pervert will come and molest you?" Although he didn't want to provoke Xue'er, his flirtatious habit was hard to shake, and he blurted it out.

"You? Someone has the desire but not the guts, what am I afraid of!" Xue'er looked at him with a smile, and casually winked, tightening her grip on his arm.

That was so true, Zhang Bing was speechless, he could only scratch the back of his head and grin foolishly, leading her towards the parking lot.

The food street near the university was indeed famous. Although Zhang Bing rarely stayed in his hometown, he had heard of it before. When he arrived, he was shocked to see it. Despite the cold weather, the street was packed with people, mostly couples of male and female students. The air was filled with the rich aroma of food, making Zhang Bing's heart itch with desire; he really wanted to try everything. But he never did. From a young age, he had learned to control his desires, especially his desires for food and clothing. His family wasn't well-off, and his living expenses were partly supported by his younger sister and partly by his own earnings. So, he had to restrain himself when his classmates were living a life of luxury. Later, it became a habit, especially when shopping with girls. He was very accommodating to their tastes and rarely showed any particular preferences of his own. But because of this, his desire for money became particularly strong.

Back near their alma mater, the usually quiet Xue'er became much more lively. With her beloved man by her side, she was as happy as a lark. She would buy food costing 2 or 3 yuan here and there, forcing Zhang Bing to eat what she couldn't finish or didn't like, calling it "making use of waste." Then she would point to the students around them, saying, "Look, they all do this. The boys always eat what the girls leave behind, and they seem so happy about it. Unlike you, you're so wronged, with such a miserable face!"

Zhang Bing could only smile wryly. Those people were student couples; young boys always saw sharing food as an indirect way of kissing. For students who didn't dare to do anything outrageous, this was certainly exciting. Xue'er probably knew this too, but she was just making up an excuse for him, and he didn't want to point it out.

The two walked hand in hand through the entire street, their stomachs so full they didn't need dinner.

"Xue'er, do you come here often? It's so affordable, you can be stuffed for less than 50 yuan for two people?"

"Of course, we came almost every day when we were students, and we'd stay until late before heading back. It was so much fun." Xue'er said nostalgically.

"Oh, and you were holding your boyfriend's hand like that too?" Zhang Bing had only mentioned it casually, but hearing that she came every day, he figured she must be with her boyfriend, otherwise, how could they stay until late? Although he wanted to reject her advances, the thought of this woman beside him walking so intimately with other men here made him feel a little jealous and uncomfortable.

"Hey, I smell something sour?" Xue'er made a face at him and deliberately sniffed him. "Well, I won't tell you! Come on, let's go jump rope." Then she proudly pulled him forward.

"Xue'er, shall we go back?" After walking for a while, neither of them spoke. Although Zhang Bing tried hard to suppress the sour feeling in his heart, he still felt uncomfortable: this place held too many memories for her. Could it be that they often ate snacks and then went to the restaurant?

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Xue'er, who was quietly reminiscing about her school days, turned around and looked at Zhang Bing in surprise. She thought his injury had flared up, and was taken aback. She touched his abdomen with concern. "Did walking too far just now cause your injury to flare up? Then let's go to the hospital quickly."

How could he spoil her fun with such concern for him? Zhang Bing was a chivalrous "heartthrob," so he could only grant her wish. "It's nothing, let's go, we're going to the hall."

"Are you really okay? Let me see." Xue'er took off her gloves and naturally put her hand inside Zhang Bing's clothes to touch his abdomen. "Are you sure it doesn't hurt here?"

Xue'er's small hands were a little cool, her fingers slender, her palms as soft as her body. Zhang Bing hadn't expected her to do this, and it was too late to stop her. The small hand near her navel felt very comfortable, but going any further was a forbidden zone—it could be fatal. Zhang Bing couldn't care less about enjoying it and quickly grabbed the small hand that was rubbing and probing her injury from outside her clothes. "No, Xue'er, don't move! Take it out!" Seeing Xue'er's puzzled and delicate face, he couldn't help but blurt out, "You're seducing me!" As soon as

he said this, Xue'er's face turned bright red. Only when she was focused on Zhang Bing's injury did she realize how ambiguous her action was. She had inexplicably put her hand inside his clothes, on such a sensitive area as his abdomen, and this was a public place where everyone was watching them. Fortunately, the lighting was dim, and probably few people could see clearly, otherwise it would have been incredibly embarrassing.

Following Xue'er, who had pulled her hand out and was walking hurriedly with her head down, Zhang Bing felt somewhat relieved. It was still a typical campus setting—crowded but not chaotic. He didn't have to worry about the safety issues of those public places outside. This kind of music hall is a great place to vent emotions. Quiet people become open, and lively people show their wild side. They can fully release their negative emotions or do things they wouldn't normally dare to do or say things they wouldn't normally dare to say in the midst of energetic and crazy music, and they don't have to worry too much about safety. For young students who have lived a life of restraint and modesty in Eastern culture for countless years, this is indeed a good place, because here they can be unrestrained, indulgent, and talented, without having to face the stern gaze of teachers or the earnest teachings of elders.

Zhang Bing and Xue'er are both introverted, so they both quite like this music hall. Although they don't go there often, they will go there every now and then to relax and vent their emotions. During this period, Xue'er was under a lot of work pressure, and with her beloved man protecting her, she was very uninhibited, twisting her body around Zhang Bing and occasionally making some exaggerated, bold, and ambiguous movements. At this time, Zhang Bing also let loose. Apart from occasionally stopping those who wanted to get close to Xue'er because of her beauty, he was completely immersed in the energetic dance with the beauty, relaxing his mind in the dance and venting his emotions in the energy.

After a while of their wild revelry, feeling a bit tired, Xue'er pulled him to a nearby seat to rest, ordering some drinks and a bottle of red wine. Xue'er insisted on the red wine; having never drunk alcohol before, she was in a great mood and wanted to experience its taste and completely indulge herself. With Zhang Bing with her, she figured it wouldn't matter if she got drunk. So, in the dim lighting, the bottle of red wine was practically shared equally between the two, creating a very romantic atmosphere.

"Hey? Xue'er, is that you?" Their quiet conversation was suddenly interrupted by a voice.

Zhang Bing looked up and saw a stylishly dressed, handsome young man with somewhat somber eyes, followed by what appeared to be a follower, all looking at Xue'er with delight.

"Ah! Hu Xiong! Hello! It's been years! How have you been?" Xue'er was equally delighted, grabbing the young man's hand.

"Hehe, why don't you invite me to sit down and have a drink?" The young man, confirming it was Song Xue'er, calmed his initial surprise and smiled, patting Xue'er's shoulder.

"Ah, please sit down, please sit down. It's been so long! Let's have a good chat." Completely immersed in the joy of seeing her old classmate, Xue'er ignored Zhang Bing, who was still sitting opposite her, and pulled the young man to sit next to her. "What are you doing here? How have you been these past few years?"

"Hehe, my home is nearby, so of course I come here occasionally to reminisce about the old days. I miss it so much! I chased after you for three whole years in college. Back then, I came to the snack street and this place the most!" The young man, Hu Xiong, stared at Xue'er infatuatedly. "I didn't expect that after all these years, Xue'er, you've become even more beautiful! No wonder you were our school beauty back then!" "

Wow, Hu Xiong, don't say that. You were the handsome one back then! All the girls were swooning over you, hehe! What do you do now?"

"I own a karaoke bar and a coffee shop now. Want to come over for a bit? It'll be quieter at my place, we can have a good chat. I've missed you so much these past few years!"

"Ugh, Hu Xiong, you're joking around again!" Xue'er giggled and playfully punched the young man. "Okay, we'll come over to your place later, but don't charge us!"

Chapter 53 Fighting (Part 2)

Zhang Bing was very embarrassed and angry. The lobby was noisy, so the two of them were talking very close together, which looked very intimate to onlookers. Moreover, Xue'er kept holding his hand and acting coquettishly towards him. Good heavens, Zhang Bing was furious. This young man had always been her ex-boyfriend, which was why they were so intimate and why she was so happy. Xue'er, who had just expressed her love for him, had completely forgotten about him. This made Zhang Bing, who had been feeling jealous, almost go crazy. So he rudely interrupted their conversation, walked over, and put his arm around Xue'er's shoulder, pretending to be affectionate. "Xue'er, who is this?"

"Ah, Zhang Bing, this is my old classmate Hu Xiong. Wait a minute, let's go to his karaoke bar later, it's nearby." Xue'er tried to remove Zhang Bing's hand subtly, afraid of being laughed at by her old classmate, but Zhang Bing insisted and held her hand even tighter.

The young man had actually seen Zhang Bing a long time ago. He was glad that Xue'er hadn't paid him any attention and had been talking to him, which proved that his relationship with Xue'er wasn't very close. Now, seeing Zhang Bing forcefully embracing Xue'er, and his goddess, whom he had pursued throughout college, being embraced by another man right in front of him, he couldn't stand it. He had just been thinking about how to get Xue'er into bed to fulfill his long-cherished wish. He wasn't exactly a good guy to begin with; being able to run a karaoke bar meant he naturally had intricate connections with the underworld. So, his previously cheerful eyes immediately turned gloomy as he stared at Zhang Bing, his face full of arrogance. "Kid, you'd better get your hands off me. Didn't you see that Xue'er doesn't want you touching her?"

Zhang Bing was very dissatisfied with Xue'er's behavior earlier. During the day, she had been actively hugging, kissing, and cuddling him, but now that she had an old flame, she had forgotten about her new love, leaving him standing there for so long, and now she wouldn't even let him hug her. Wasn't that too disrespectful? Hearing Hu Xiong openly mock Xue'er's actions with such arrogance, Zhang Bing, now possessing some power, was naturally even more enraged. Her jealousy intensified, and she tightened her grip on Xue'er's hand, whispering intimately in her ear, "Xue'er, let's go. Didn't you want to go to the hot springs?"

"Kid, didn't you hear what I said? Take your hand off me! And Xue'er is not a name you can casually use. Get lost!" Seeing Zhang Bing ignoring him and still talking about going to the hot springs, Hu Xiong realized that a man and woman going to a hot springs together was tantamount to sleeping together. He figured Xue'er was already bewitched by this guy. He probably had some money, but definitely no real power. She hadn't directly confronted him earlier, clearly showing her fear and subservience. Thinking of this, Hu Xiong became even more arrogant. He stepped forward, shoved Zhang Bing's hand off Xue'er's shoulder, and pulled Xue'er's hand to his side. "Xue'er, come with me. We haven't chatted in ages. Afterwards, I'll take you out for some fun!"

Zhang Bing simply disdained dealing with this kind of spoiled brat, which was why he pulled Xue'er away. One look at the young man's pale face showed he'd been drained by wine and women, and the way he kept scanning Xue'er's ample breasts while talking to her, his lecherous eyes constantly darting around, clearly indicated he had no good intentions. Although Xue'er was immersed in the joy of seeing her old classmate and didn't notice, Zhang Bing, who had been observing her, certainly did. Moreover, Zhang Bing was afraid that Xue'er might rekindle her old flame with this young man, and he was also afraid he wouldn't be able to control his jealousy and resentment and make a scene. He felt it was better to keep a low profile; if other women found out he'd taken Xue'er to a brothel, it would be difficult to explain. So, he just wanted to get Xue'er away as quickly as possible.

But now Hu Xiong's obvious bullying made him furious, and he was in a bad mood. He barely managed to suppress it and stared at Xue'er, asking in a muffled voice, "Xue'er, think it over yourself. Do you want to leave with me immediately or go to this man's place?" He had some confidence in Xue'er, but she hadn't said anything for a while, and she stubbornly believed that they used to be lovers, so his tone was a bit harsh.

Xue'er finally began to understand what was going on. Logically, someone as intelligent as her should have realized it long ago, but the immense joy of seeing her classmates had filled her mind. For the past three years, she had been away from home and hadn't contacted her classmates at all. Now, reminiscing on campus and unexpectedly bumping into an old classmate, she was naturally overjoyed. That's why she acted so excitedly, completely forgetting about Zhang Bing and grabbing her classmate's hand for a friendly chat, without even noticing that this person was a man. Moreover, she had disliked him somewhat back in school; Hu Xiong, because of his wealthy family, had been recklessly pursuing her, causing her a lot of annoyance. She sensed something was off when Zhang Bing put his arm around her shoulder. He had consciously rejected her feelings earlier, so why was he being so affectionate now? Later, as their tone became increasingly heated, she calmed down and thought about what was happening. She then realized that her behavior had been too ambiguous, probably making Zhang Bing jealous. She knew Zhang Bing was jealous when they were at the food street, assuming she and her boyfriend frequented it. Although she had never had a boyfriend in college, she didn't explain. She figured it was good to let him be jealous; a man's jealousy always makes a woman happy. Besides, she wanted to torment him a little. He'd rejected her on a blind date, and then almost rejected her again today in that romantic atmosphere on the boat. Even though she reluctantly accepted the fact that he had several women, implying she didn't care and not acting on it, this beautiful woman had always been submissive. What was wrong with making him feel bad? So the more upset Zhang Bing was, the happier she became, and she couldn't help but want to laugh. But she hid it under the cover of night and her hurried footsteps, because she felt laughing would be rude and would really anger Zhang Bing. Now this guy was acting like he wanted to eat her alive because of his jealousy. How annoying! Who did he think she was? He was so fierce, acting like she had to go with him. He didn't give her any face at all. However, Hu Xiong wasn't a good person either. She'd only been thinking about the memories of her old classmate and hadn't considered the consequences. This Hu Xiong was a lecherous, shameless man. How could she have been holding hands and chatting intimately with him? No wonder Zhang Bing was angry. Fine, she'd forgive him and go with him.

After all, he was the first man she'd liked in all these years. Xue'er, who was about to speak, remained silent because Hu Xiong had beaten her to it. Hu Xiong was also surprised after Zhang Bing's words. He hadn't expected this guy to avoid a direct confrontation and instead force Xue'er to make a statement. Hu Xiong knew perfectly well that their relationship wasn't simple, judging from their previous conversation. Xue'er was a conservative person; for her to come to the hall with a man meant she trusted him or had feelings for him. He'd only gained the upper hand earlier by using Xue'er's pure friendship as leverage; now, he knew it was impossible to get her to go with him based solely on that friendship. So, taking advantage of Xue'er's hesitation, he yelled at the henchman who had been following behind, "Xiao San, kill him! Throw him outside! He's asking for trouble!" He wanted Xue'er to see his power submit to him. Even if she didn't, he would use this guy to force her to comply. Then, the beautiful Xue'er would have no choice but to go with him, haha!

Zhang Bing was very angry. He had clearly shown his anger, but Xue'er still didn't come to him immediately. She was still hesitating. It seemed that she had deep feelings for her college boyfriend. Maybe the two of them had already had an intimate relationship, which was why they were so affectionate! Heartache, disappointment, and worry enveloped him. Seeing that the henchman actually obeyed Hu Xiong's orders and rushed towards him, he grabbed the red wine bottle on the table and rushed over. Let him fight! He wasn't afraid anyway. It would be a good opportunity to vent his emotions and then leave, never to have any more illusions about Xue'er. He figured that other women wouldn't say anything if they found out.

The henchman was clearly a thug, quite skilled in fighting, even dodging Zhang Bing's bottle. But Zhang Bing wasn't one to be trifled with. Last time at the airport, he'd suffered a great loss because the other party had two men, and he wasn't about to let that go unpunished! While not particularly muscular, he was agile and held his own in dodging. Seeing the fight, everyone in the dance hall gathered to watch. Seeing it was a fight over a woman, they all cheered loudly, no one trying to stop them. This meant Zhang Bing didn't hear Xue'er crying and begging him to leave. He was completely focused on his opponent. He knew the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him; his stamina was dwindling, and the young man was nearby, so he could easily gather a large group of helpers. He had to finish this quickly. "

Damn it, I'll fight!" Zhang Bing thought, slowing his pace and deliberately taking a few punches from the henchman to make his opponent underestimate him, thinking he was simply too weak to dodge. Sure enough, seeing this, his opponent quickened his pace and completely abandoned defense. Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Bing used his arm and body to block his opponent's sweeping kick, then smashed a bottle down on his thigh. The bottle shattered, leaving a bloody mess. Taking advantage of his opponent's momentary lapse in concentration due to pain, he quickly closed in, first delivering an uppercut that knocked his head off balance, then a groin kick that finally sent his opponent sprawling to the ground, unable to get up.

Amid cheers from the crowd, Zhang Bing, bruised and battered, approached Hu Xiong, feigning indifference despite his injuries, and arrogantly looked at the panicked young man. "How about it? Want to try my uppercut?" Seeing Hu Xiong back down, he didn't say anything but went straight to Xue'er, who was still crying and looking at him timidly, and took her hand, leading her outside.

Upon reaching the door, Zhang Bing quickly dialed Deng Chunguang's number. "Director Deng, I need your help again."

"Hehe, Brother Zhang Bing, don't be so polite. What is it?"

"I'm at the Romantic Hall on Xuefu Road. We had a bit of an unpleasant encounter inside. The enemy has probably sent people to block me outside. My car is quite far from here, and it's damaged, so please come over quickly to help me deal with it."

"Okay, wait for me, I'll be there in 10 minutes!" The other party was very decisive and hung up the phone immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Bing quickly pulled Xue'er to a relatively secluded spot and said coldly in a low voice, "Xue'er, this fight is for you. Whether it's worth it or not, and regardless of how much you have feelings for your boyfriend, I'm in danger now, so please keep quiet. Let's hide here. If you want to go with him, you can leave as soon as my friends arrive and I'm safe. We can still be friends. If you think I should be punished and want someone to kill me now, then I can only blame myself for misjudging you. You'll have no complaints if you die."

He then shoved her hand away, coldly and roughly stopping Xue'er from speaking. "If you want to leave, go and warn others. If you don't want to leave, stand here and don't say a word. It's up to you!" He then squatted there coldly, vigilantly watching for any movement outside.

He didn't run far after leaving the house, partly because he was afraid the other side's people had already arrived and they would run into him, and partly because he didn't have the strength to run anymore; the fight had exhausted all his energy. He had originally intended to leave alone, but inexplicably, he pulled Xue'er along, perhaps unable to bear seeing her tears. He guessed she must think he had run far away, but she hadn't expected him to be right outside the door, making him much safer. He just needed to wait a few minutes until Deng Chunguang arrived. Of course, he didn't completely trust Deng Chunguang, fearing he might notify the Zhu brothers to harm him, so he was careful when he called, not revealing his exact hiding place. That way, he could run away immediately if things went wrong—of course, whether he could escape was anyone's guess.

Fortunately, Xue'er obediently stayed there, though her eyes held a resentful look of grievance, which he didn't pay attention to. Then, soon, he saw Deng Chunguang's men.

Chapter 54: A Chance Encounter at the Hospital

. Happy New Year! Wishing all my friends a prosperous Year of the Ox, all your wishes fulfilled, and everything going smoothly. San Kun wishes you a Happy New Year, haha!

Seeing the police rush into the hall and clearly seeing Deng Chunguang's figure, Zhang Bing finally relaxed, his body going limp and collapsing to the ground. Xue'er had been watching him, sobbing quietly. When she saw him fall to the ground, she was shocked and realized how badly he was injured. She rushed over to help him up. "Zhang Bing, what happened to you? Should we go to the hospital?"

Now that his life was safe, Zhang Bing's jealousy flared up again. He roughly pushed Xue'er's arm away. "Director Song, thank you for not betraying me earlier. Now you can go find your college boyfriend. He's probably still waiting for you inside!"

Xue'er hadn't expected him to be so jealous. Even after all this time, he was still so cold towards her. She felt wronged enough; he had insulted her so much earlier, and now he was acting like this. All she had done was hold hands with her old classmate and exchange a few words, forgetting about him. Was it really necessary for him to hold such a grudge and care so much? His imagined boyfriend was all just his wild guesses, completely without evidence. How could he so superficially conclude that she was a promiscuous woman? He even said she would betray him? Xue'er grew angrier the more she thought about it, but his injuries seemed serious, requiring immediate hospitalization. So, despite her grievances and resentment, Xue'er suppressed her emotions, neither provoking Zhang Bing nor offering any explanation. She simply and firmly placed him on her shoulders, her tone calm, "No matter what, I'll get you to the hospital first."

This time, Zhang Bing didn't refuse; he didn't have the strength to refuse. He felt sore all over, and the intense mental strain from earlier had left him exhausted. He also realized that he might be going too far with Xue'er. After all, he was the one who rejected her feelings today; could he really expect her to be so demanding? Thinking of this, his heart softened again.

Deng Chunguang was searching everywhere for Zhang Bing, who was determined to pledge allegiance to him, and this happened to be his jurisdiction. If something happened to Zhang Bing, all his previous efforts would be in vain. Just as he was anxiously pacing around, he saw Xue'er helping Zhang Bing walk over. He was startled by Zhang Bing's limp appearance and thought he was seriously injured. Without saying a word, he helped Zhang Bing into the car, personally drove with the sirens blaring, and sped to the nearest railway hospital. His frantic speed frightened Xue'er, who was following behind. Because of this, Zhang Bing was in the hospital's emergency room in less than 10 minutes, even though Zhang Bing told him that he was just exhausted.

Only when the doctor told him that it was nothing serious, just exhaustion and soft tissue injuries, did Deng Chunguang breathe a sigh of relief. He then asked Xue'er, who was sitting on a chair in the corridor, lost in thought, for details. Xue'er couldn't say that she had gotten into a fight because of jealousy, so she could only vaguely say that she had gotten into a fight with someone because of some misunderstanding, and that the other party had heard that they had some influence in the area, so they had gone into hiding to seek help. Deng Chunguang was also clever. He didn't press Xue'er about her background or her relationship with Zhang Bing. He had investigated Zhang Bing's past and knew that he had recently been surrounded by beautiful women, all of whom were rumored to have impressive backgrounds. He feared that this stunningly beautiful woman might be someone with a secret past or Zhang Bing's lover. These were things most people didn't like to be asked about, so he was careful. Therefore, he not only didn't ask but was also quite polite to Xue'er.

After the doctor finished treating Zhang Bing's injuries and used medication to help him recover some strength, Zhang Bing came out on his own. Seeing the two anxious people in the corridor, he chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Don't worry, last time at the airport, so many people didn't kill me, this time it's a piece of cake. Sorry to have worried you!"

"Brother Zhang Bing, you're really something! You've gotten into two fights in less than a week, scaring people half to death, haha!" Deng Chunguang saw that Zhang Bing had come out unharmed. Although he looked tired, at least he didn't appear to have any problems, so he joked with him, feeling relieved.

Xue'er wanted to speak, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she remembered Zhang Bing's previous attitude towards her. Always somewhat arrogant, she feared Zhang Bing would still be cold and aloof, and speaking would only be humiliating, especially in front of outsiders. She couldn't bear it. So, after thinking it over, she retreated dejectedly and stood there silently.

Deng Chunguang found the expressions of the man and woman strange. During the time he'd been waiting, he could see the woman's deep affection for Zhang Bing, yet now she hadn't even greeted him. Zhang Bing had only glanced at her without speaking. He assumed he'd guessed correctly that they were secret lovers, too embarrassed to express their feelings in front of him, so he quickly prepared to leave. "Zhang Bing, I see you're not busy right now. I've already had someone bring you a car. Can you drive yourself?"

"No problem, not only can I not drive, I could even fight again, haha. By the way, it's so late, thank you so much. Would you like to go get some late-night snacks with your brothers?" Zhang Bing waved his arm, indicating he was perfectly fine.

"Could you bring me along for a late-night snack? I haven't had dinner yet!" A sweet voice came from behind.

Deng Chunguang turned around and saw, lo and behold, another stunning beauty. He recognized her secretly; it was Jiang Yan, the mysterious woman from Beijing. It was seeing her that made him decide to immediately side with Zhang Bing.

"Hehe, Jiang Yan, it's you! What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be teaching in the county town?" Zhang Bing was surprised to see this young lady so late, but seeing a beautiful woman always made him happy. This woman was a source of joy for him, so he joked, "Could it be that you sensed my injury and rushed here?"

"Oh? Zhang Bing, you're injured again? How are you?" Jiang Yan was also happy to see Zhang Bing. She had been talking about him for the past few days and had even promised to visit his house, but she was too shy to call him directly. She never expected to run into him here, especially since he was injured.

"Hehe, it's nothing, why are you so worried! It's just a fight! You saw how brave I was last time, so of course there's no problem this time either."

"You're brave? You're so shameless, hehe. If it weren't for my bodyguard last time, you'd probably still be lying in the hospital right now. Brave, my foot! You're a coward! Haha!" Jiang Yan wasn't going to give him any face. She liked seeing him embarrassed and enjoyed talking to him so easily. "By the way, let me introduce your two friends. Look how good they are to you, always keeping you company."

"Oh, look at me, how rude of me! Director Deng, Xue'er, this beauty from Beijing is Jiang Yan. She teaches at the county's experimental middle school. If you have children who need to go to high school, just ask her for help, it'll definitely be no problem, haha!" Zhang Bing made another little joke to Jiang Yan, then introduced the two people beside him, "This is Director Deng from the Furong District Public Security Bureau in my city. He's a very righteous man. Last time at the airport, he was the one who called the police in advance and helped me a lot; this is my colleague, Song Xue'er, the women's director of our village, the most beautiful woman in our village."

"Haha, you brought such a beautiful woman out with you, you didn't get into a fight because you were on a date with a girl, did you? And then Director Deng had to come and rescue you?" Jiang Yan had seen this kind of situation many times in Beijing. Those rich kids all lived like this and caused trouble, so she just casually made fun of Zhang Bing, but who knew she would guess right.

Zhang Bing was speechless. This girl was just that clever, always leaving him both amused and exasperated. He could only change the subject, "You still haven't told me how you ended up here?"

"Oh, our research office director suddenly had a relapse of her old stomach ailment. I happened to be visiting her at the time, so I brought her here. This is the hospital where her husband works. I just settled her in the hospital and was about to head back when I saw you all."

"Hehe, what a coincidence! Well then, everyone's been so busy, you must all be a bit hungry. My treat today, let's go get some late-night snacks. Director Deng, call your brothers too!"

"Okay, thanks a lot, Brother Zhang Bing. Where shall we go?" Deng Chunguang was also looking to connect with Jiang Yan and gauge her situation, so he quickly agreed.

"Director Deng, you decide. This is your territory." The other three weren't sure what to do either, as they weren't familiar with the area, so Zhang Bing handed the initiative over to Deng Chunguang.

"Okay, come with me. You two ladies, get in Zhang Bing's car, I'll lead the way!"

Inside the car, Jiang Yan chatted with Xue'er, but Xue'er was clearly upset because of Zhang Bing's attitude. She didn't know what Zhang Bing was thinking, but she didn't want to be the first to apologize, as she felt she had just been wronged, all because of Zhang Bing's misunderstanding. Jiang Yan sensed Xue'er's mood and didn't press her, so the atmosphere in the car became somewhat heavy.

"By the way, Zhang Bing, you mentioned earlier that Director Deng helped with the airport matter. What happened? Were those thugs who assaulted her dealt with?" Jiang Yan was a little bored, so she casually chatted with Zhang Bing about things that interested her. Last time she returned to Beijing, all her belongings were stolen, leaving her in a very sorry state. Then, upon returning, she encountered the assault, which made her very angry. If she hadn't wanted to avoid trouble, she would have used her family's power to arrest all those guys.

"Sigh, don't even mention it. Those guys ran away. They were released from the police station the next day and then disappeared to another place." Zhang Bing was annoyed when he talked about this because he had been used and had to do it willingly.

"Oh? What happened? You were let off so easily for intentionally injuring someone? They were trying to beat you to death and bully us too, and the police station just let it go like that?" Jiang Yan was furious.

"They were instigated by someone, and the mastermind behind them is too powerful, so this is how it ended up. Don't worry, I'm trying to find a way to get revenge." Zhang Bing thought this rich young lady also wanted revenge, so she comforted her.

"Really? You, a mere village chief, can get revenge? You said yourself that they have a lot of power. When will there be any results?" Jiang Yan had already decided to intervene in this matter. She wanted to wipe out the evil forces at the airport and help her seemingly agreeable friend, Zhang Bing, but she had to get to the bottom of things.

"The person who directly instigated it is a police chief I offended. I originally had connections to deal with him, and he also has a deputy mayor backing him up, so I had to wait and look for an opportunity. This takes time." Zhang Bing knew Jiang Yan's persistent nature, so she simply told her the truth, otherwise she would be annoyed to death.

"Oh, I see. I'll wait for your good news." Jiang Yan, having gotten the information she wanted, started another topic. "You promised to come to your house, when are you free?"

"If you'd like, you can come back with us tonight. I'm injured these past few days and need to rest, so I'll have time to keep you company!" Zhang Bing didn't want to provoke this girl at all, because of her powerful background and her father's warning, so he joked, thinking that the girl definitely wouldn't dare to go to a man's house that she wasn't very familiar with so late at night.

"Really? You're resting these past few days? Great! Then come with me to school later, I'll grab some clothes and then come with you. That's great, I can finally have some fun!" Jiang Yan didn't think so. She instinctively trusted Zhang Bing, and most importantly, Zhang Bing was the only friend she considered relatively good here.

"Wow! I admire you!" Zhang Bing was so shocked he almost jumped up, only able to feel admiration and speechless!

Chapter Fifty-Five: The Blessing of Having Multiple Women

Deng Chunguang brought all the officers who had been on duty that day, filling two tables. During the meal, he introduced a squad leader from their bureau and a newly arrived security guard. The squad leader, Zhao Shuguang, was around forty years old, very capable, and eloquent. Deng Chunguang told Zhang Bing that if they needed to contact him later, they could look for Zhao Shuguang, implying that he was a trusted confidant. The security guard, Hong Gang, was 25 years old, a recent discharge from the special forces. He was the best fighter in their bureau and the younger brother of one of Deng Chunguang's best friends. However, because he had made a mistake in the military, he couldn't enjoy the government's veteran benefits, so he had to use connections to get a job as a security guard. He asked Zhang Bing to take good care of him, and if they ever went to the city, he should ask Hong Gang to drive for them and act as their bodyguard.

Zhang Bing was very satisfied with the two men, especially Hong Gang. His military bearing was evident throughout the meal; he sat upright and stood straight, and seemed very reliable. He spoke concisely, was quick-witted, and made him very pleasant to be around.

"Brother Hong, where are you from? Judging from your accent, you're from the North?" Zhang Bing became interested and started chatting with him. After all, he'd been getting into fights a lot lately, and having a skilled fighter to help him would certainly put him at ease. So he wanted to learn more about him. Of course, he didn't dare dream of him being a bodyguard—what village chief has bodyguards? He just wanted to be friends who could look after each other.

"Hehe, you're older than me, just call me Hong Gang. My hometown is in Shanxi, near Wutai Mountain." Hong Gang seemed quite proud when talking about his hometown.

"Judging from your tone, you're very proud of your hometown?"

"I wouldn't say that, but when I think of home, I think of my parents and relatives. They've been very good to me. My job was found for me by my brother through Director Deng. I'm proud of them!" Hong Gang smiled.

"I'm afraid it's more than that, isn't it? Is there a beautiful girl waiting for you at home?"

"Brother Zhang, you're joking. Not at all, hehe!" His voice suddenly lowered.

“I have a good eye, you know. You definitely have a sweetheart waiting for you. To be honest, we're all brothers, no one's laughing at you.” Zhang Bing noticed a hint of helplessness in his eyes, smiled, and thought, “Heh heh, another guy with a story.”

“I used to have a fiancée, but I was sent back home for making a mistake in the army. Her family doesn't approve, saying I'm poor and have no reputation. They're making a scene right now! So I want to earn as much money as possible to go back and shut her family up.” Earlier outside, Director Deng and Zhao Honggang had told him to cultivate a good relationship with Zhang Bing, saying it would be beneficial in the future. After meeting him, Honggang also felt that Zhang Bing was quite forthright and approachable, treating both Director Deng and him the same. So he was also interested in befriending him and half-heartedly told him the truth about his family situation. He wasn't sure what the benefits Director Deng mentioned were, but telling the truth was always the best policy.

“Heh heh, then work hard with Director Deng and strive to become a real policeman as soon as possible!” Zhang Bing got the information he wanted and ended the conversation with a smile.

But then Director Deng interjected, "Brother Zhang Bing, that's not right. Even if I were just a deputy director and couldn't help him much, his monthly salary as a policeman wouldn't be enough to cover his expenses. He'd still need your help!"

Zhang Bing smiled but didn't reply. He understood Director Deng's meaning: he wanted him to quickly get rid of the Zhu brothers and promote him, and he also subtly hinted at wanting Hong Gang to work for him. He hadn't planned these things yet, so he couldn't say anything carelessly.

After the meal, Deng Chunguang stopped Zhang Bing, who was about to drive, "Let Hong Gang take you home. You were injured today and are weak, and it's so late. Hong Gang is a former reconnaissance soldier; he's very skilled with all kinds of vehicles." Zhang Bing then realized why Hong Gang hadn't drunk alcohol during the meal. It turned out Deng Chunguang had arranged it all along. Thinking about it, he realized it wasn't safe for him to drive now. It didn't matter if something happened and he was hurt; there were two beautiful women in the car! So, without any hesitation, Zhang Bing said, "Director Deng, I won't thank you enough. I'll remember this kindness." He then patted Deng Chunguang's arm and sat in the passenger seat.

Hong Gang's driving skills were indeed excellent; his movements were fluid and smooth, making the car incredibly stable and comfortable for the passengers—a hundred times better than Zhang Bing's novice driving. Xue'er, who had ridden in Zhang Bing's car all day, felt this most keenly. Unfortunately, she was still arguing with Zhang Bing, so even though she wanted to joke, she held back. In the end, it was Zhang Bing who blurted it out.

"Hong Gang, you've really gotten me into trouble this time!" Zhang Bing said, grinning at him.

"What's wrong, Brother Zhang? If I did anything wrong, just tell me, and I'll correct it immediately." Honest Hong Gang was very nervous; he was afraid of leaving a bad impression on Zhang Bing. Director Deng's instructions to cultivate a good relationship with this young man must have had their reasons.

“Riding in your car will spoil the passengers’ habits. It’s hard to go from rich to simple! After riding in your car today, when will I ever want to drive myself again? More importantly, if I want to ask the two beauties in the back out, they’ll probably complain about my driving skills and it’ll all fall through. Aren’t you just ruining my life?” Zhang Bing sighed, partly to lighten the mood, as the car was a bit somber because of Xue’er’s relationship with him.

Knowing it was a joke, Hong Gang breathed a sigh of relief. He gave a silly smile but didn’t say anything. Jiang Yan in the back, however, giggled, “That’s easy. Just hire him to drive from now on. Like Director Deng said, driver and bodyguard. Many rich kids are like that now.”

“Miss Jiang, don’t tease me. I’m just a village chief. How can I compare to a rich lady like you? Hong Gang is a great talent. It’s a waste to have him as a driver.” Zhang Bing smiled wryly. Jiang Yan was very naive and seemed to trust him a lot. She always spoke to him casually, saying whatever came to mind without caring about other people’s feelings. This was probably a bad habit she developed from being spoiled by her family since childhood. But this might offend Hong Gang. A policeman with connections, wanting to be your driver? That would be a joke!

"No, Brother Zhang, I'm always ready to help you if you're willing. I feel a connection with you, Brother Zhang, being your driver wouldn't be bad." Hong Gang quickly became modest. He genuinely didn't want to be a driver, but he had to express his opinion, otherwise he'd offend Zhang Bing.

"Hehe, Hong Gang, you! You should stick with Director Deng for now. I'll definitely call you if I need help. I also feel a connection with you." Zhang Bing understood Hong Gang's meaning, but for now, he could only remain ambiguous.

"By the way, Miss Jiang, if you come to my house so late, my mom will definitely think I robbed or kidnapped a wife from somewhere. You'd better be careful." Zhang Bing now also felt that he had gone too far with Xue'er at night, but he didn't want to admit defeat and apologize first. So he tried his best to joke with Jiang Yan, hoping to make Xue'er laugh and the two of them could talk. Otherwise, not to mention their relationship, it would be difficult to carry out their work.

"Hmph, you trying to take advantage of me again? I don't care! I've decided you're my only friend here, and I'm sticking with you. Don't try to scare me away!" Jiang Yan playfully wrinkled her nose at Zhang Bing and glanced at him, then smiled and hugged Xue'er beside her. "But to keep an eye on you, you lecher, I'm going to have Xue'er stay at your place with me. Xue'er can keep an eye on you and protect me!"

This made everyone blush. Xue'er had been looking for an opportunity to speak up and ease the tension with Zhang Bing, so she quickly objected, "Jiang Yan, what are you saying? What do you mean I'll keep an eye on him? I'm nobody to him! Besides, he might welcome a beautiful woman like you, but he might not welcome a country bumpkin like me!" There was a hint of jealousy in her words. Xue'er said this on purpose, which could be seen as a way of expressing her feelings for Zhang Bing and trying to reconcile.

"Really? How did Xue'er, this mountain girl, become the trigger for Zhang Bing's fight? Also, I just heard someone say that you two spent the whole day sightseeing in the provincial capital. A couple dating all day, isn't that something?" Jiang Yan sensed something was wrong between them, so she spoke bluntly, forcing them to talk and reconcile.

This was a difficult question to answer. Xue'er could only give Zhang Bing a resentful look before lowering her head sadly. Zhang Bing felt even more guilty towards Xue'er, but couldn't explain, so he quickly changed the subject, "Xue'er, then let's do as Jiang Yan said. I'll invite you to stay at my house too. You can call your family later and let them know. Anyway, you know my family, so it's no problem."

"See, that's the difference. I practically begged to stay, while Xue'er was invited and knows his family well. Are you already planning to become Zhang's daughter-in-law?"

Xue'er liked hearing these words, but couldn't respond. She just sat there blushing, tickling Jiang Yan to stop her from saying more. Zhang Bing was embarrassed, but he was fearless and continued joking, "Beautiful Jiang, if you want me to invite you into the Zhang family, just say so! How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me? How about this, as long as you both come in, you'll call me 'Mom.' I'd be happy to enjoy the blessings of having two wives." He then laughed loudly.

"Dream on! Go to hell!" Now the two beauties were united against him, standing up and reaching their small hands towards Zhang Bing's fleshy body.

"Oh my god, murdering your husband! Help!" Zhang Bing deliberately shouted loudly, since he was in front, the two women couldn't easily attack him from across the seats.

"Really? Then I'll try to murder you!" With Hong Gang present, the two beauties were hesitant to go too far, fearing it would have a bad influence. But now that Zhang Bing had gone so far, while Xue'er was still hesitating, the simple-minded Jiang Yan didn't care. She grabbed Zhang Bing's ear, making him beg for mercy in pain. "Xue'er, the other one is yours. Didn't he want the blessing of having two women? Let's let him enjoy the blessing of having two women pulling his ear, hmph, let's see if he behaves then!"

Chapter 56:

Zhang Bing was becoming increasingly satisfied with Hong Gang. On the way back, he deliberately fooled around with the two beauties in the car, mainly to liven up the atmosphere, but later, he also got up to test Hong Gang's intentions. He wanted to see how Hong Gang would behave in this situation, to see if his mental fortitude was as stable as that of a special forces soldier on TV. The result was satisfactory. Hong Gang maintained a "don't look where you shouldn't" attitude, focusing on driving, not interrupting to joke around, and not peeking at their antics. Keep in mind, inside the car were two stunningly beautiful women who would cause a sensation on the street. Their playful antics and occasional glimpses of their skin even made Zhang Bing, a man who had recently seen and even had close relationships with many beautiful women, somewhat tempted. Yet Hong Gang remained focused on the road ahead, his expression unchanged. This kind of person had the best secrecy, was trustworthy, and worth cultivating—that was Zhang Bing's conclusion.

He was very satisfied, but Zhang Bing didn't show it. Having worked in human resources management for many years, he understood that a month of excellent pretense was a short period. Companies often suffered from those who were cunning and adept at deception during recruitment. Therefore, he wanted to continue observing. He trusted his eyes. Although theoretically, a person could fake it for up to three months, Zhang Bing felt that for most people, a week was enough to determine their sincerity. He had his own ambitions, and ambitions required a team. So he accepted Director Deng's overtures, temporarily considering Director Deng one of his own. But this was merely a partnership based on mutual benefit; to build his own core team, this wouldn't suffice. He needed the kind of brotherhood Guo Zi had. If possible, he really planned to bring Hong Gang over as his driver and bodyguard, having him work at his sister's construction company in charge of site safety. This position would involve a lot of his personal life, so he had to find a reliable and capable person, and therefore he had to be cautious.

Zhang Bing shifted his position, pulling the blanket over himself more. It was already late at night. He had just settled Hong Gang and the two women into bed, and his parents had long since gone to rest. Only he remained, sitting comfortably in his recliner, the warm charcoal fire beneath his feet. It wasn't that he wasn't sleepy, but that he couldn't sleep. There were too many things he needed to think through and decide; he needed quiet time to organize his thoughts. I've been very busy lately. I thought I could finally get some rest these next couple of days, but then Jiang Yan showed up and came here. I have to spend the day with her, otherwise, knowing her temper, she'll definitely cause a scene. Zhang Bing only feels a sense of warmth towards this girl, like a friendly neighbor, perhaps stemming from her purity and kindness? He knows about her powerful family background; he specifically looked it up after returning home and was shocked. They're practically in the national leadership. Her grandfather is one of the few remaining founding generals, and her father is a member of the Central Committee. Their influence in both the military and political circles is extraordinary; even in Beijing, the capital, they're a very prominent family. But strangely, Zhang Bing has never considered using her family connections. He feels that such a family is too far removed from his own, and he enjoys his pure friendship with Jiang Yan. It's comfortable, enjoyable, and, more importantly, it gives him a sense of ease he doesn't have with other women he's been involved with. So, even without her father's warning, he wouldn't take this little sister to bed. He likes her purity and enjoys showing her some pampering and care, like he would a younger sister.

But the other women are the real problem—it's been a headache for a long time. Now he practically has to make several phone calls every day as if it's a mission: Huanjie and her daughter are people he genuinely likes, and the two women basically won't sleep without his call, so he has to call them every night without fail; Qing'er is a bit better, she sees him as her lover, and is very gentle and considerate, but because he's too busy to spend time with her, he feels guilty and calls her every day to express his apologies. She's a good woman, and the woman who has always been in his heart, and he hopes it can stay that way forever; as for Ma Pei, that's a bit troublesome. Ever since he touched her private parts last time, this girl has been acting like his real girlfriend, pestering him to talk on the phone for hours every day, and occasionally bringing up strange things. While he liked her lively and adorable nature, he also disliked her and her family's arrogant attitude, their constant attempts to order him around or force him to submit, as if climbing the social ladder meant he had to humble himself. Fortunately, she was busy with her studies and, through several confrontations with Li Huan, had become more aware of her position, so even her little schemes weren't excessive. What troubled him most was Long Xin in Beijing. He felt too much guilt and love for this woman, unable to articulate his feelings. He thought of her every night before bed and wanted to call her, but ultimately held back because he didn't know what to say. Moreover, their three-year marriage was a promise he had made; what should he do?

Of course, there's also Xue'er's problem, but after today's events, their relationship should be dead. They've fallen so far, and I said such heartless and insulting things to her. Well, it's better this way; a short, sharp pain is better than a long, drawn-out one. The quiet and proud Xue'er should find a better happiness. ——————

"You little pervert, why aren't you asleep yet?" The door opened, and Jiang Yan walked in with a smile. She was wearing a pajama top with a cartoon rabbit embroidered on the chest, and her down jacket was draped over her shoulders. She sat down on another recliner next to Zhang Bing. "Bring the blanket over a bit; someone took it all! Like a zombie!"

That girl is just like that, she can't stand not making fun of herself. From the time we met until now, I've been constantly bullied by her, but it's quite amusing. "Hey, watch your mouth, okay? Don't make up accusations, you'll be held responsible."

"What's wrong? How did I wrong you?" The girl stretched her feet into the heater and hugged the blanket tightly. "Ah, so comfortable, this feels so good, much more comfortable than the electric heater or radiator at home, my whole body feels so relaxed."

Zhang Bing felt her smooth thighs slip in, their legs close together because the heater was small. He nudged her with his leg. "First, I'm not a zombie. You should be able to feel the heat from my leg, right? If you can't, I can touch you with my hands and kiss you with my mouth, how about it?"

Seeing Zhang Bing's lips approaching, Jiang Yan blushed deeply and hurriedly pushed him away, nudging him hard with her leg. "You

're so annoying!" "Second, you called me a little pervert. How have I been perverted? That's a serious crime against my reputation. If my mother hears this, she'll beat me to death and force me to marry you to protect your reputation. If you're willing, I can take advantage of the quiet of the night to be a little perverted now." After saying that, he looked at the girl's chest under her pajamas. "Too bad, the pajamas are too conservative. I can't see what's inside, but from the outside, it looks too small, like an airport runway!"

"Go to hell, you're the airport runway!" The girl quickly slid her body down further, covering her chest with the blanket. "You are a pervert! Always hanging around with beautiful women!"

"Hey, Miss Jiang, can you please be mindful of your image? Putting your feet on a man's feet like that makes me think dirty thoughts!" As Jiang Yan slid down, she felt that the blanket wasn't enough, so she put her feet on Zhang Bing's legs. It felt comfortable with their legs together, but it aroused Zhang Bing.

"Hehe, you wouldn't, would you?" The girl put her whole foot on him and pinched his nose. "If you're a pervert, go find your group of ambiguous beauties. There's one right here in the room. We're buddies, right?"

"Ugh!" Zhang Bing sighed helplessly. "Jiang Yan, you're right. I see you as a buddy and also as a mischievous little sister, so we get along quite well. I won't have any ulterior motives towards you. But, please don't always tease me, okay?" "Hehe, you said I

'm a mischievous little sister. Of course, a little sister has to help her brother win over his sister-in-law, and the more the better, right? Maybe the one in the room is waiting for you. Come on in, I'll cover for you and keep watch." With Zhang Bing's personal assurance, the girl was in a better mood and became bolder. She moved closer to him and kept playing with his nose.

"Ugh, I can't explain this to you! I'll say it again, I don't have a girlfriend right now. Xue'er is just my colleague, and we just went out for fun today, it wasn't a date or anything!"

"Come on, Xue'er looked at you with such a resentful gaze, no wonder she's attracted to you! And that Sister Li Huan and Ma Pei, they're both beauties, their eyes practically dripping with tears when they look at you, haha! Zhang Bing, calling you a big pervert is no exaggeration, I've seen three beautiful women become my sisters-in-law in just a few days, tell me who else, I'll arrange it for you, it won't be a waste that you've taken her as your sister, how about it?" Xue'er started picking at the mustache growing on Zhang Bing's lip again, happily giving him random suggestions. "By the way, I think you and Xue'er seem to have some misunderstanding, you two are sulking and not talking to each other, what's going on?"

"That's why I said Xue'er and I are nothing, she has a boyfriend, we ran into him while dancing today, he's her college classmate, they seem to have a very good relationship!" Zhang Bing had no choice but to explain the situation clearly, otherwise if her big mouth heard it and his parents believed it, that would be troublesome. To prove his point, he disregarded his pride and recounted the events of the fight in the hall earlier that day.

"Are you out of your mind or just jealous? Xue'er was probably so excited to see her old classmate that she overlooked you and didn't pay attention to the details. If it were her boyfriend, would she have gone dancing with you in the hall and spent the whole day with you? Would she have been so worried about you and taken you to the hospital after you insulted her like that? I think she likes you so much that she pretended to be wronged and followed you, and even gave you face in front of others. You, I really don't know how you chase after so many beautiful women!" Jiang Yan scolded Zhang Bing after hearing this, tapping his head repeatedly with her small hand. "I'm avenging Xue'er and teaching you a lesson! Aren't you going to apologize to her now?"

After this analysis, Zhang Bing felt even more that he had misunderstood her, but he still couldn't save face. "It's too late now, let's find an opportunity to talk about it tomorrow."

"Remember, women need to be coaxed. It's not unusual for a man to have many women, and don't be embarrassed, but you must treat every woman who loves you sincerely!" Jiang Yan thought for a moment before saying these words like an adult, which made Zhang Bing look at her in a different light. "Don't look at me like that. This is what my grandfather told my dad. I don't understand it, and I don't want to understand it, but I think what my grandfather said should be appropriate for you."
