Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Lovesickness, Is There a Cure?

Subsequently, Qiao Botong suddenly thought of something, "Right, I have an old acquaintance with Guan Hong. Grandmaster, for the sake of Guan Hong, please give Cao Wu another chance!"

Chen Xuan had been ready to make his move, but upon hearing Guan Hong’s name, he instantly stopped.

In the recent series of events, Guan Hong indeed had provided him with quite a bit of help.

Now that they even brought up Guan Hong, if Chen Xuan didn’t show some grace, it would seem rather heartless.

In the end, Chen Xuan relented, "Fine, for Guan Hong’s sake, I’ll spare his life!"

Hearing this, Qiao Botong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the grounded Cao Wu also felt an enormous stroke of luck.

He had indeed narrowly escaped death.

"Don’t worry, Grandmaster, I’ll have someone send the 10 million compensation to Jiaren Corporation immediately!" Cao Wu assured, patting his chest.

However, Chen Xuan let out a cold laugh, "That was the price a moment ago. Now, it’s a billion!"

Cao Wu’s liver ached at the thought.

A billion!

How long would it take him to earn that back!

But at this point, Cao Wu didn’t dare to bargain; better to keep the green mountains than worry about burning wood.

Money spent can be earned again, but a lost life is irreplaceably over.

"Fine, a billion, I’ll have someone send it right away!" Cao Wu said through gritted teeth.

Chen Xuan seemed to think of something, "It was Zhou Zhengyang who sent you to trouble Jiaren Corporation, wasn’t it? Tell him, if he wants Jiaren Corporation, come at it openly. If he dares to play these dirty tricks again, not even the Zhou Family can save him!"

With that, Chen Xuan turned and left.

Watching Chen Xuan’s departing figure, Cao Wu completely relaxed, collapsing to the ground.

Even the top-tier families like the Qiantang Zhou Family didn’t matter in his eyes—who in Huai City had ever seen such a ruthless character!

It seemed that from now on, it was best for him to keep a low profile.

With Huai City being a hidden dragons and crouching tigers kind of place, if one day he offended someone he shouldn’t, he might not even know how he died!

After leaving Golden Honor KTV, Chen Xuan went straight back to Huai City Banquet.

Before he left earlier, Chen Xuan had specially prepared a hangover remedy for Cui Ruyun to give to Han Jingting later.

By the time Chen Xuan returned to Huai City Banquet, Han Jingting had already sobered up.

"Jingting, how are you feeling? Are you okay?" Chen Xuan asked.

Han Jingting nodded, "Yeah, I’m much better. By the way, what about Brother Ju and his crew? Did they give you any trouble?"

Han Jingting only remembered being drunk when Chen Xuan rushed over, and she couldn’t remember much else.

Chen Xuan gave a faint smile, "Don’t worry, with Elder Sister Yun around, they didn’t dare to touch me."

Compared with Chen Xuan, one might be more concerned about the condition of Brother Ju and his group.

Almost all of them had gastric bleeding, and even if they recovered, they would have to lie in bed for at least ten days to half a month.

Having drunk so much alcohol in one go, they probably won’t want to touch a single drop of alcohol again.

Relieved to hear Chen Xuan was unharmed, Han Jingting relaxed, but then she began to feel a bit guilty.

"I’m sorry, I’ve caused you trouble again. If I had known Brother Ju was that kind of person, I wouldn’t have come..."

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "You do owe an apology, but not for this reason. It’s because you encountered difficulties and didn’t tell me right away!"

Han Jingting was taken aback and stubbornly retorted, "I... I just wanted to rely on my own abilities to solve the problem, without depending too much on you."

Chen Xuan let out a wry smile. This woman, as always, was so strong-willed.

"You don’t want to rely too much on me because you’re afraid that once you get used to it, you won’t be able to leave me in the future, is that it?"

Chen Xuan looked meaningfully at Han Jingting, who felt momentarily flustered, her beautiful face turning a shade of bashful red, "Who... who can’t leave you. You... don’t flatter yourself..."

Seeing Han Jingting’s reaction, Chen Xuan could only find it amusing.

In Chen Xuan’s memory, Han Jingting had always been a woman who seemed cold and distant, yet he never expected she would also have this side to her—a side that could fiercely argue despite having her thoughts exposed.

Chen Xuan mused inwardly that this woman truly had changed!

She was closer to him now!

"Yes, it’s not you who can’t leave me, it’s me who can’t leave you, wife!" Chen Xuan said with a laugh.

Hearing Chen Xuan’s address for her, Han Jingting couldn’t help but startle, and a wave of warmth rose in her heart.

Just like Chen Xuan, she too had felt the closeness and the warming of emotions between them.

Han Jingting looked up at Chen Xuan, and as their eyes met, it seemed as if a kind of ambiguous sentiment was lingering in the air.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment, as if there were only the two of them left in the world.

Thump, thump!

Chen Xuan could clearly hear the accelerating beats of his own heart, and in Han Jingting’s eyes, he also saw a hint of expectation and consent.

Chen Xuan realized that this seemed to be an opportunity for their feelings to be elevated.

In this ambiance of ambiguity, something was bound to happen.

Finally, Chen Xuan gathered his courage and drew a bit closer, while Han Jingting seemed to sense something but did not dodge at all, just gently closing her eyes instead.

Everything seemed to fall into place naturally, as if it was all meant to happen.

Chen Xuan’s lips slowly approached Han Jingting’s exquisite red lips.

This was a moment Chen Xuan had waited for, for many years!

However, just as Chen Xuan’s lips were about to kiss Han Jingting’s red lips, suddenly, the door to the room was pushed open.

"Miss Han, you..."

Cui Ruyun, who burst in suddenly, witnessed this scene.

Chen Xuan and Han Jingting were so frightened that they jumped apart as if electrocuted, as if nothing had happened at all.

Yet all of this had already fallen into Cui Ruyun’s eyes.

"I’m... I’m sorry, I forgot to knock on the door..."

Cui Ruyun quickly explained, but her heart was in agony.

The man she deeply loved was kissing another woman in her own room, and she was apologizing for it?

This was indeed the greatest torture for Cui Ruyun.

"Oh, it’s alright, Elder Sister Yun," Han Jingting said, her face flushed with shyness.

Recalling the scene moments before, Han Jingting was somewhat taken aback.

She didn’t expect that she would accept that man so quickly.

And even permit his kiss?

Is she being a little too immodest?!

Cui Ruyun quickly changed the subject, "Oh, that’s right, Chen Xuan, weren’t you at Jiaren Corporation just now? What about that..."

Before Cui Ruyun could finish, Chen Xuan hurriedly interjected, "Thanks to President Cui’s assistance with that issue, it has been completely resolved!"

An elated Han Jingting said, "Chen Xuan, do you mean that all the ruffians who were causing trouble at our company have been driven away?"

Chen Xuan nodded, "That’s right, we have to thank President Cui for this! Without her, it wouldn’t have been so easy to resolve!"

Han Jingting was quite surprised; she hadn’t expected Cui Ruyun to be the one who helped her.

"President Cui, thank you so much, you really helped us a lot! I’m so grateful!" Han Jingting was truly excited.

Cui Ruyun, of course, knew that Chen Xuan was deliberately attributing the credit to her and didn’t say much.

"It’s just a small matter, Miss Han, don’t worry about it!"

Han Jingting, however, seemed to remember something and became puzzled, "President Cui, there’s one thing I don’t quite understand. We don’t really know each other, why would you go out of your way to help me like this, time and again?"

"This..." Cui Ruyun was at a loss for words.

But Chen Xuan quickly explained, "It’s because President Cui was once my patient, which is why she has been so kind to us."

"Patient?" Han Jingting was surprised.

Cui Ruyun, enduring her heartache, concurred, "Yes, indeed, I am Chen Xuan’s patient. I’ve done all this just to thank Chen Xuan."

"So that’s it!" Han Jingting suddenly realized.

Yet Cui Ruyun felt like her heart had turned to ash.

She was indeed sick.

She couldn’t help but want to ask Doctor Chen, for the ailment of unrequited love, is there a cure?
