53: Chapter 53 Craving for My Body_1 53: Chapter 53 Craving for My Body_1 Chu Mengyao was instantly stunned.

“You…

you really are Secretary Zhang?”

Secretary Zhang smiled and nodded, “It’s me, the real deal!”

Chu Mengyao’s face filled with disbelief as she quickly leaned in and pinched Secretary Zhang’s cheek.

“You’re not wearing makeup?”

Secretary Zhang looked proud, “Nope, President, with my current looks, who needs makeup anymore?”

Chu Mengyao took a deep breath and asked, “Was it the elixir pill that Lu Chuan gave you that had an effect?”

Secretary Zhang nodded earnestly, “Lu Chuan is really amazing, being able to develop such a miraculous pill.

If we could get our hands on the formula for this elixir, even if Lotus Beauty Cosmetics stole our data, they’d never be able to compete with us in a lifetime!”

The others nodded in agreement and cast envious glances at Secretary Zhang.

“President, I wonder if Mr.

Lu Chuan still has any more of those Youthfulness Retention Pills, could you help me buy one?

I’m willing to pay two hundred thousand!” one female employee asked.

“Two hundred thousand isn’t enough.

After eating this Youthfulness Retention Pill, you can even save on cosmetics.

Selling it for five hundred thousand wouldn’t be expensive!”

The crowd discussed animatedly, all expressing their desire to buy Youthfulness Retention Pills from Lu Chuan.

Chu Mengyao looked stunned, “I…

I misjudged him again.”

She looked at the crowd and said, “Everyone go back to work.

Keep the matter of the Youthfulness Retention Pill confidential.

Do not disclose it to anyone.

If Lu Chuan is willing to give me the formula, I will let you all know.”

Everyone nodded, their expressions full of anticipation.

Chu Mengyao hurried to her office and couldn’t wait to call Lu Chuan.

“Weren’t you supposed to come over today?

I’m already at work, why haven’t you arrived?

Hurry up and get over here!”

Half an hour later.

Lu Chuan sat down in the tea area of Chu Mengyao’s office and asked with a smile, “Has Secretary Zhang become prettier?”

Chu Mengyao nodded, looking at Lu Chuan somewhat sheepishly and said, “Sorry…

I misjudged you.”

Lu Chuan’s lips curved into a small smile as he placed a piece of paper on the table, “This is the formula for the Youthfulness Retention Pill.”

Chu Mengyao’s eyes lit up, and she immediately reached out to take a look.

Lu Chuan held the formula down with his hand.

Chu Mengyao looked at him, understood his intention, and immediately placed a bank card in front of Lu Chuan.

“This card has twenty million in it, as part of the payment for the Youthfulness Retention Pill’s formula.

If you’re willing to sell me the formula, we can sign a partnership agreement.

I will bear all the production, manufacturing, and promotion costs for the Youthfulness Retention Pill.

Once it hits the market, regardless of how much it sells, you will receive twenty percent of the profits.”

After speaking, she placed a contract in front of Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan coughed lightly and said, “I don’t want money, nor do I want a share of the profits.”

Chu Mengyao looked puzzled, “Then what do you want?”

For some reason, she instinctively felt a sense of foreboding.

Lu Chuan looked at Chu Mengyao seriously and said, “I want you to do me a favor that involves my life.”

Chu Mengyao immediately became serious and said, “Tell me.

If I can help, I definitely will.”

The Youthfulness Retention Pill made her change her view of Lu Chuan once again.

He had taken the initiative to help her when she was in a crisis, and she would certainly not be stingy in helping him.

Lu Chuan did not dare to speak directly but instead took a roundabout way, “Have you seen the news about Cao Xiong from Supreme Path Martial Arts Hall getting struck dead by lightning?”

Chu Mengyao nodded, eyeing Lu Chuan and said, “I didn’t expect you to have such courage to accept Cao Xiong’s challenge.”

Lu Chuan said, “Don’t you think my strength has progressed a bit too fast?

Just over half a month ago, I was just a regular guy delivering food.”

Chu Mengyao thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, and said, “Oh please, I know you’re amazing, okay?

Do you really need me to compliment you?

What does that have to do with what you were just saying?”

Lu Chuan said, “The reason my strength increased so rapidly is because my physique is special, and this special comes at a price.”

He then told her about his condition that if he did not have relations with someone within a week, his body would explode and he would die.

“Cough cough, I came to you for help out of desperation, after all, between us…”

Lu Chuan looked at Chu Mengyao with a guilty face.

Anger gradually appeared on Chu Mengyao’s serious face, as she unconsciously bit her lip.

“Are you really insisting on making this kind of joke with me?”

Lu Chuan hurriedly said, “I’m not joking, it’s absolutely true, and by doing so, the coldness in your body will be completely cleared, and you won’t need to suppress it every so often.

It’s a win-win for us.”

Chu Mengyao slammed her hand on the table fiercely, “Lu Chuan!

I thought I had misjudged you, feeling I had too many biases against you, and I’ve been working hard to change my opinion of you, but I cannot believe you could be so shameless!”

“Do you really lust for my body that much!”

“And you even use exploding from not having relations as a hoax to trick me, tell me, who in this world has ever exploded from not doing that kind of thing!”

Lu Chuan was sweating profusely, “I’m not like them…”

Chu Mengyao’s chest heaved, “Indeed, I have never seen someone as shameless as you!”

Lu Chuan, anxious, didn’t know how to explain.

If he confessed he was a Cultivator now, Chu Mengyao might just treat him like a lunatic and kick him out.

“My engagement with Long Hao is truly against my will, but we have already hosted the engagement banquet, and I am now the future daughter-in-law of the Long family, a proper woman about to be married, and yet you repeatedly try to trick me into having relations.

Don’t you think you’re being too much!”

Chu Mengyao’s emotions were charged, and her eyes quickly reddened.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan frantically said, “Don’t get me wrong, that’s not what I meant.

If you’re not willing, then forget it.

I was just desperate and wanted to ask for your opinion.”

Tears slid down Chu Mengyao’s cheeks; she turned her head away and said decisively, “I don’t want the prescription for the Youthfulness Retention Pill anymore.

Just leave, I don’t want to see you again.”

Lu Chuan opened his mouth, wanting to explain but in the end, couldn’t utter a single word.

He sighed resignedly, pushed the prescription for the Youthfulness Retention Pill across to Chu Mengyao, and said, “Take the prescription and use it.

I don’t want any compensation, and I won’t make any more requests to you.”

With that, he got up and left the place.

Chu Mengyao took a deep breath, picked up a doll pillow next to her, and started hitting it furiously.

“Why are you so lecherous!

Shameless, vile, hopeless!”

…

On the street.

Lu Chuan walked with a sense of loss.

“I knew it would turn out like this, and yet I still went seeking trouble.

My brain must be filled with water.”

“What am I supposed to do now!”

As he was strolling and trying to clear his mind, his phone rang.

It was Ning Xin calling.

“Hello, you haven’t reached out to me for so long, have you forgotten your girlfriend?” Ning Xin’s resentful voice came through.

Lu Chuan’s eyes shifted, and he asked, “Do you really want to be my girlfriend?”
