Fang Yu dismissively said, "So you're looking down on me?"
"You have no idea what I'm facing! Assassins, you know? Assassins!"
Jiang Wei, the always composed and calm chairman of Qingcheng International, also showed some agitation, her eyes full of worry.
"Assassins? I thought it was something serious." Fang Yu said with a relaxed face. "Don't worry, I can't speak for other places, but in Hua University Hospital, no one dares to hurt you."
Jiang Wei's cool complexion showed no expression as she spoke, "These aren't ordinary assassins, I advise you not to meddle."
"Not ordinary assassins? Since you're aware, let's hear it." Fang Yu replied indifferently.
Seeing how insistent and earnest Fang Yu was, Jiang Wei suddenly stepped in front of him and said, "What can you do if I tell you? Can you protect me?"
The distance between them was less than half a foot, the natural scent from a woman seemed to target his nose deliberately causing his heart to flutter.
"Let's hear it."
"Sky Wolf Organization."
Hmm?
Fang Yu was secretly astonished. Despite Jiang Wei's high status, she shouldn't have stirred up such an assassination organization; at most, she was merely a wealthy businesswoman.
Upon seeing Fang Yu's shocked expression, Jiang Wei smiled disappointingly, "Are you scared?"
"I'm not scared, I'm just curious as to how you got involved with them." Fang Yu said.
"Interest."
Jiang Wei uttered these two words lightly, her clear eyes revealing a hint of disappointment.
The two were still close to each other.
"The world of you wealthy people is really too complicated." Fang Yu sighed.
Jiang Wei's tone became calm:
"You saved me this time, what do you want?"
"Is everything linked with interests in your eyes?" Fang Yu said with a smile.
"Speak up, I'll not refuse as long as it's within my means."
A gentle and elegant fragrance wafted from Jiang Wei's red lips.
Somehow, Fang Yu made a bold decision—
He suddenly wore a mischievously grin, "Then, could you be my wife?"
Hearing this, Jiang Wei, the ice queen CEO, surprisingly didn't get angry but instead smiled, "Do you dare?"
Jiang Wei smiled tenderly, placing her hand on Fang Yu's shoulder.
The fragrance got stronger.
Fang Yu, who had seen many women in his life, nearly lost composure, and said faintly, "I'm not that kind of person... besides, I'm already engaged."
"Coward." Jiang Wei snorted lightly, her indifferent expression returning.
"You say you can protect me, right?" Jiang Wei asked again.
"Of course." Fang Yu confidently replied.
"You're skilled?"
"So-so... but more than enough to deal with this so-called Sky Wolf Assassin Organization."
Jiang Wei nodded thoughtfully.
"Since my illness won't be cured anytime soon, then... how about I hire you as my personal doctor?"
"Personal doctor?" Fang Yu said, surprised.
"Not bad, Qingcheng Group can't be without me for a single day..."
"Not interested."
Jiang Wei thought he would agree, but unexpectedly, she was flatly rejected. A bit displeased, she said, "Why? You think I can't afford to pay you?"
"It's not that... I'm not someone who can be bought with money..."
"Twenty thousand a month." Jiang Wei started to up the offer.
"Not interested..."
"Thirty thousand a month!"
"Sorry, I have my own work."
"Monthly salary of thirty thousand, with meals and accommodation included... gourmet delicacies to eat, villas to live in, plus, you can continue working here. The only thing you need to do is to heal and recover."
"Deal."
"—"
Fang Yu gave a faint smile and said, "Since you're so sincere, if I still refuse, wouldn't that be like not appreciating the face you're giving me?"
For some reason, when Jiang Wei heard the word "deal," she felt slightly disappointed.
All crows under the sun are black.
"Great. Let's get you discharged today, and I'll take you to see where you'll be staying."
Just when the two were standing very close to each other, looking quite intimate—
Xiao Ting appeared, holding a bouquet of vibrant flowers.
Upon seeing this scene, he was struck dumb, his flowers falling to the ground.
"Damn it, daring to flirt with my woman!"
Xiao Ting, with an ominous look, rushed over.
At the same time, at the end of the corridor, a few bodyguards in suits appeared, following Xiao Ting.
Jiang Wei casually pushed Fang Yu away, maintaining a distance between them, her face colder than ever...
"Xiao Ting, I warn you, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being Heartless!"
Approaching them, Xiao Ting stopped.
"Xiao Wei... you should understand my feelings! How am I inferior to this bastard... In terms of wealth, any branded item I wear is worth a few months of his salary; regarding family background, how many times has the Xiao Family secretly helped Qingcheng Group? How can you be with this poor kid..."
Watching Xiao Ting becoming frustrated and irate, Fang Yu, who initially only wanted to watch the drama unfold, changed his mind.
"Idiot."
"Who are you calling an idiot?"
"Deny being stupid all you want..." Fang Yu said sarcastically, "All that stuff you're talking about, she has it too. So, comparing those things with me is meaningless... In terms of looks, I'm streets ahead of you... How can you even compare with me?"
"—"
Jiang Wei felt a headache coming on.
She originally wanted to intervene, but then thought that there's no harm in letting Xiao Ting be rebuffed like a fly banging against a wall. She might as well just watch the show.
Xiao Ting cursed, "So you're saying you're a kept man now?"
"So what if I am? She's willing to keep me..."
"You!"
Xiao Ting, rendered speechless by anger, since reason wasn't getting through, decided to prove his point with a show of force, "Have the guts to face me outside!"
"How about that? Want a group fight? Seems like you really didn't take my words to heart!" Fang Yu said with a hint of regret.
"Enough with the nonsense!"
"How could your father, Xiao Shilang, have fathered an idiot like you!"
This statement thoroughly infuriated Xiao Ting.
In the Xiao Family, he had always been regarded as a failure by his father, completely weak compared to his brother. Fang Yu's remark hit him where it hurt.
"Damn it, if I don't take care of you today, then I'm not a Xiao!" Xiao Ting grimaced as he spoke.
Fang Yu smiled lightly, "If you're a man, then face me in a fair one-on-one... Of course, if you insist on challenging my authority, I will gladly accompany you to the end!"
"One-on-one it is!"
In front of a woman, Xiao Ting was too embarrassed to appear as one who bullies the few with numbers.
Taking off his jacket, Xiao Ting swung his fists and charged over like a battle tank.
Fang Yu shook his head, standing still.
Jiang Wei, watching the excitement from the side, started to worry.
Fang Yu didn't look like the muscular, physically strong type. On the contrary, he had a somewhat refined and scholarly air. If he were hit by the burly Xiao Ting, he'd probably be bedridden for at least a week.
Just as Xiao Ting was about to reach Fang Yu—
Thump!
Fang Yu kicked out!
