76: Chapter 76: Compromise, Be a Man!

What, a video?

Xu Qianli inwardly cursed his luck.

He had been so preoccupied reliving old times with Xu Shuman and basking in the tenderness of the stunning beauty that he hadn’t realized that the pretty doctor could have secretly filmed them.

If this got out, his image would be undoubtedly damaged, and it might even give Xu Shuman hope to use as leverage to force him back into a relationship with her.

Xu Qianli instinctively tried to snatch the phone, but Liu Qian reacted quicker, swiftly withdrawing it and not letting him succeed, gloating proudly, “Either you do me a favor, or I’ll make you the laughingstock of the town!”

Xu Qianli said, “Is there no room for negotiation?”

“No negotiation.

I don’t care who you are.

Help me out tonight, and I’ll delete the video immediately; we’ll be even.”

Liu Qian believed she had Xu Qianli over a barrel, leaving him no choice but to agree.

His mother’s voice came from the phone, “Qianqian, why haven’t you said a word?

Are you bringing a boyfriend home or not?”

Liu Qian replied with a playful tone, “Yes, yes, I am!

Can’t I?

Just take it easy tonight, Mom and Dad.

Don’t scare him off.

It wasn’t easy to find a boyfriend; if you scare him away, don’t blame me if I stay single forever.”

“Don’t worry.

Your dad and I know better.

We’ll just check his family registration, we won’t flay him alive.”

Hearing this, Liu Qian couldn’t help but click her tongue, thinking her mom was quite something.

“Alright then, it’s settled.

I won’t chat more; I’ve got work to do.

Goodbye.”

Ending the call, Liu Qian proudly glanced at Xu Qianli.

“My name is Liu Qian, twenty-seven years old, and you’ve seen what I do.”

“And you, what’s your name?

Where do you work?”

Since she had already nabbed this prime specimen, she might as well get to know him.

Xu Qianli shrugged helplessly, “My name is Xu Qianli, and I work at the County Government.

Anything else you’d like to know, miss?

Should I list out my metrics as well?”

Liu Qian rolled her eyes at Xu Qianli and indignantly flipped him the middle finger.

“Hmmph, as if I’ve never seen such before.

A donkey born to boast – what’s there to be proud of?

Aren’t you embarrassed!”

“Okay, give me your phone number.

I’ll come to pick you up after work, then we’ll buy some gifts before heading to my place.”

“Once we’re there, make a good impression and help me get through this, and you’ll be rewarded.”

Tonight?

Xu Qianli said, “No, I can’t.

I have plans tonight, an important dinner appointment with a leader.

I don’t have time.”

“A leader?”

“As if someone like you, a tiny clerk who’s only good for opening doors, carrying bags, and holding umbrellas, could have a dinner appointment with a leader, let alone an ‘important’ one.

What, are you going to say next that you have a date with Secretary Ge, the biggest official in Jiang City?”

Liu Qian’s sarcastic jibe came without a trace of good humor.

Xu Qianli blurted out, “How did you know I was meeting with Secretary Ge?”

“Hit a nerve, did I?”

Liu Qian rolled her eyes skyward.

What kind of person was this?

Not only indecent in his private life but also a braggart, and not just a small-time one either; his lies reached the heavens.

Considering that she had hastily roped him in as a stand-in, it wouldn’t be right to disrupt his plans, so Liu Qian proposed, “In that case, how about this: I’ll accompany you to see this so-called important leader.

After dinner, you can come home with me, deal?”

“You want to come with me?”

Xu Qianli shook his head.

“It’s inconvenient, way too inconvenient.

What identity could you possibly use to accompany me?”

Identity?

Liu Qian stepped forward, tilting her head up as she stared at Xu Qianli, poking him in the chest.

“What identity, of course as your girlfriend!”

“Before we visit my home, we might as well have a rehearsal in front of your so-called big boss to warm up and get our act together, so we don’t give ourselves away easily to my parents.”

“What, you want to refuse?

If you dare refuse, I’ll post the video to Moments right now!”

Liu Qian threatened again, humming to herself.

She was determined to make this guy agree!

Xu Qianli said, “You’re tough, you’re good, alright then, I agree.

I can pretend to be your boyfriend tonight.

But let’s make it clear, it’s just for one night.”

“Of course, just one night.

What, you want to be my boyfriend forever?

Flattering yourself.”

“Cut the crap and give me your phone number, quick!”

Soon, Liu Qian got Xu Qianli’s phone number and gave him a look that said you better listen to me, then she turned around with a victor’s posture and walked away.

Watching her swagger, Xu Qianli inexplicably felt his anger rise.

He raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

Smack…

“Ah…”

Liu Qian suddenly received a heavy slap, trembling all over, feeling a current start at her buttocks and shoot up towards her crown, as if her whole body was swept by electricity, nearly paralyzed.

After she regained her composure and turned around wanting to find Xu Qianli to settle the score, she saw that the guy was already gone without a trace.

Stomping her feet in anger, Liu Qian cursed, “You bastard, just you wait.

How dare you slap my butt, I’ll see how I deal with you tonight!

Ow, it really hurts.”

Liu Qian instinctively covered the slapped area on her buttocks, recalling the strange sensation she felt earlier and bizarrely began to understand why the previous female patient was willing to be spanked by Xu Qianli.

It was quite amusing.

Just then, the door to Xu Shuman’s ward opened, and the neatly dressed Xu Shuman walked out.

As Liu Qian and Xu Shuman’s eyes met, they looked at each other.

It seemed like a woman’s intuition, Xu Shuman instinctively felt something off about this pretty doctor.

Recalling how she had interrupted her own moment with Xu Qianli, she couldn’t help but give her a cold look and turned her head to leave.

Liu Qian watched Xu Shuman walk away with her long legs and swaying slim waist, noticing that she walked normally without discomfort, and couldn’t help but click her tongue secretly.

She clearly saw how miserably Xu Shuman had been handled by Xu Qianli, even her throat went hoarse from pleading with Xu Qianli to stop, but he didn’t let up at all, showing no mercy, as if he were dealing with an enemy in a brutal and barbaric fashion, tormenting her to death.

She had thought this woman must have been broken from the ordeal, that she’d have to lie in bed for at least half a day before getting up.

But look at her now, how little time had passed, and there she was, glowing and striding out of bed, with no sign of discomfort whatsoever, instead looking incredibly energized and radiant, like a blossom that’s been fully nourished, beyond alluring.

Having not eaten pork doesn’t mean she hadn’t seen pigs run.

Liu Qian was very clear that a regular woman couldn’t possibly withstand someone like Xu Qianli.

It seemed that not only was that man, Xu Qianli, out of the ordinary, this woman was also not simple.

In some respect, they were a natural match.

However, after Xu Qianli had his fun, he left without staying to keep her company.

Their relationship seemed not that great, and it was unclear what exactly it was.

Before Liu Qian could think it through, Xu Shuman’s figure had already disappeared from her sight.

Liu Qian couldn’t be bothered to pay more attention and turned back to her office.

She took off her white coat and found her own clothes to wear.

Not just her outerwear, even her underwear had to be changed—thanks to that bastard Xu Qianli, that slap earlier made it necessary for her to change even her underwear.
