"Back so soon? Did you get everything done?"

Yang Leshan eyed him suspiciously.

Lin Wanxi also looked bewildered, unsure what Chen Xuan had done on his outing.

"What do you think?"

Chen Xuan chuckled, glancing toward the door, "Why don't you come in already!"

Hmm, who could that be?

Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan froze in surprise, both looking toward the office door.

They saw Cheng Kai slinking in with a pained, bitter smile.

"President Cheng?" Lin Wanxi exclaimed.

Yang Leshan also widened her eyes, incredulous.

Cheng Kai smiled wryly, "Miss Lin, I apologize for any offense earlier."

"Is that how you apologize, standing up?" Chen Xuan barked coolly.

Cheng Kai shivered with fear and quickly knelt on the ground, "Miss Lin, please forgive my wrongdoing."

Wow!

Lin Wanxi and Yang Leshan were stunned by the scene, completely taken aback.

Previously so arrogant and boisterous, how had Cheng Kai become like a grandson before Chen Xuan?

What exactly is going on?

"Chen Xuan, what's..." Lin Wanxi stared at him, confused by the situation.

Yang Leshan kept a wry grin, feeling that Chen Xuan was an even greater enigma, totally unreadable.

Chen Xuan laughed and waved a hand, "Wanxi, I'll explain later, but how would you like to deal with him now?"

"I agreed to spare his pathetic life, but if you still feel aggrieved, I have plenty of ways to torment him."

Hearing this, Cheng Kai nearly wet himself, knocking his head nonstop in pleading, "Miss Lin, I'm begging you, please have mercy on me just this once."

Lin Wanxi felt a headache coming on; the tables really had turned!

"President Cheng, why did you insist on crossing me earlier? You must speak the truth," Lin Wanxi asked coldly.

Cheng Kai dared not hesitate and confessed, "It was Du Yuzhe who made me do it, he gave me a cricket of amazing quality..."

He wasn't hiding anything, saying it all clearly.

Lin Wanxi nodded slightly, just as they had suspected, it was Du Yuzhe stirring trouble behind the scenes.

"Does my film crew face any more issues entering the film city for shooting?" Lin Wanxi asked with a slight smile.

"No, no problem at all! I guarantee priority access to the venue and full cooperation with the crew." Cheng Kai urgently assured.

"Then go handle it immediately, personally escort the crew inside," Chen Xuan commanded in a cold voice.

"Yes, yes, I'll take care of it," Cheng Kai got up from the ground, slinking away reluctantly.

Lin Wanxi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally resolving a tough issue.

Yang Leshan impatiently asked, "Chen Xuan, how did you do it?"

"Didn't Cheng Kai claim his backing was the Ling family? How did he become like a grandson?"

Chen Xuan smiled, "It's really a coincidence. Last time, on my trip to the Southern Great Mountains to find the Life-restoring Grass, I happened to run into the Ling Family elder on a plane..."

He briefly explained the event.

Lin Wanxi couldn't help but shake her head and laugh, "Life is truly unpredictable! An unintended act of kindness turned out to be a huge help today."

"Perhaps this is what they call planting good seeds to reap good rewards!"

Yang Leshan, however, didn't focus on that but stared at him incredulously, "Chen Xuan, you know medicine too?"

"Is there a problem with that? Or do you doubt my medical skills?" Chen Xuan chuckled lightly.

Lin Wanxi promptly interjected, "Shanshan, you don't need to doubt Chen Xuan on this point."

"Didn't I mention before that Chen Xuan did our family a great favor? He healed my father's illness."

Yang Leshan looked at him with a complex expression, "I feel like you're some kind of freak!"

"You're the freak," Chen Xuan shot a glance at Yang Leshan, a pink little toy flashing through his mind.

Yang Leshan was instantly unhappy, "Chen Xuan, I didn't mean to demean or insult you, so why are you calling names?"

"You calling me a freak isn't name-calling, but me calling you one is? Talk about unfair," Chen Xuan chuckled.

Yang Leshan gritted her teeth, "Then tell me, what makes me a freak? You better say it, or I'll never let it go!"

"I won't say. I'll spare you some face," Chen Xuan smirked mischievously.

Lin Wanxi shook her head with a bitter smile, "You two just started getting along, and here you go bickering again?"

Hmph!

Yang Leshan snorted softly and said no more.

That night, back at the rented apartment, Chen Xuan was about to sleep when Yang Leshan suddenly barged into his room.

"Yang Leshan, what are you doing here in my room at night instead of sleeping?"

"Want to sleep with me? I can't guarantee I won't do something in my sleep."

Chen Xuan grinned mischievously.

Yang Leshan rolled her eyes, "Spare me your nonsense. Even if I lay here, you wouldn't dare touch me."

Heh.

Chen Xuan smirked, "Are you provoking me on purpose?"

"Better not rile me up, or you'll end up on the losing end."

Yang Leshan became even more daring, "I am provoking you. What now?"

Smack!

Chen Xuan flipped Yang Leshan onto the bed and pinned her down.

The commotion was loud enough to disturb Lin Wanxi, who walked over and knocked on the door, "Chen Xuan, what are you up to in there? Can't you keep it down?"
