Chapter 7: Chu Wan Ning: If It Gets Dirty, I Won't Take It.

"I will go in with you." Lu Siyan pulled her behind him, holding the gold pass and preparing to open the door himself.

"We can go together, but I must lead. Trust me, my needle speed is faster than theirs!" the girl said firmly.

At this moment, Chu Wanning had completely shed her usual delicate and soft demeanor. She appeared solemn and cold, yet to Lu Siyan, she looked even more captivating. Little did he know, this was Leng Ning's signature style. On Chu Wanning, however, it felt perfectly natural, only adding to her allure.

Chu Wanning observed the positions of the three people inside the room one last time and signaled for Lu Siyan to open the door. She already had silver needles tucked between her fingers.

Click!

Whoosh!

Almost as the door opened, the silver needles flew out in an instant. The three people inside collapsed to the ground, still frozen in their attacking postures.

"Lu Bei, move them onto the bed."

Those outside were still in shock. Just like that? They had witnessed the destructive power of these three over the past few days, seeing them wreck several robots. Lu Bei and his bodyguards quickly moved the men onto the beds.

Chu Wanning calmly took out the remaining needles and inserted three into each of them.

"Bewitchment Powder!"

As Chu Wanning uttered these words, the others fell silent. Lu Siyan’s already frost-cold face darkened with even more rage, making his presence truly terrifying. Chu Wanning gently tugged his hand. "I am here."

Lu Siyan’s gaze softened. Had the circumstances been different, he would have loved to hold her right then.

Five minutes later, black blood began to ooze from the needle sites on each of their bodies.

"I didn't bring the necessary medicinal herbs. This will only keep them conscious for a short while. Go back and prepare; I will come tomorrow to detoxify them."

"Who is that doctor?" Chu Wanning asked, glancing at the middle-aged male physician. Before Lu Siyan could answer, the man hurried over.

"Greetings, Madam. I am Qi Gui. Do you have any instructions?" Qi Gui asked eagerly.

The rest of the medical team was stunned. Qi Gui was a top-tier medical doctor and the head of Master Lu's medical team; to see him bowing and scraping before a young girl was unbelievable.

Qi Gui thought, *You know nothing!* The way the Madam had performed the "Immortal Hidden Three Needles" technique was divine—to witness it in person was the honor of a lifetime.

Although he couldn't confirm exactly who she was, he knew he wasn't qualified to ask.

"Please administer some nutrient IVs to them. I will come to wake them tomorrow. Do not let anyone other than yourself near them."

"Yes, Madam. I will handle it personally from start to finish." Qi Gui was thrilled to receive the task.

Chu Wanning nodded. The fact that Lu Siyan could secure someone like Qi Gui suggested that both their characters were decent. Although she had never met him, she received his emails regularly and helped him solve various medical puzzles; they had a professional rapport.

Chu Wanning checked the time—it was exactly 4:00 PM. As she looked up again, she reverted to her delicate and soft appearance, her voice sweet and gentle. "Let’s go, A-Yan! It’s time to pick up Qingbao!"

Lu Siyan’s gaze deepened. He had truly found a treasure.

As they passed the female doctor, Fang Ya, Chu Wanning intentionally leaned closer to Lu Siyan. "Husband, I'm hungry!"

It was the second time she had called him husband, and Lu Siyan felt as if his heart had been brushed by warmth. "Lu Bei, bring the car around." The man spoke with urgency, then added softly, "Shall we eat now?"

Chu Wanning nodded.

The others present were speechless. *Is this really the Madam? Since when? We had no idea.*

Watching their departing backs, one couldn't help but think they were a perfect match, a marriage made in heaven. Only Fang Ya stood there, her nails digging into her palms, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness as she glared at Chu Wanning.

"Xiao Fang, it’s best to let go of things that aren't meant for you," Qi Gui whispered as he walked past her, unable to bear seeing a girl with such medical potential ruin her future.

Fang Ya could only nod in agreement. She knew that if she didn't show compliance, Qi Gui would fire her, and she would lose any chance of being near Lu Siyan again.

As Lu Siyan walked out of the corridor with his arm around Chu Wanning’s waist, the car pulled up.

"Hmph, I can get in myself!" Chu Wanning said huffily. Now that no one was watching, she didn't need to act anymore.

Lu Siyan panicked slightly. He didn't think he had done anything wrong, so why did she seem angry?

Once seated, Chu Wanning glanced at the man still standing outside. *Indeed, that is a face that attracts trouble,* she thought.

"Master Lu, let’s go!" Lu Bei reminded him from the driver's seat, remembering that the Madam said she was hungry.

Only then did Lu Siyan climb into the car.

"Wanwan, did I do something to upset you? Tell me, and I’ll change!"

He had rarely interacted with women, but in his limited experience, whenever his father upset his mother, admitting fault was always the right move, regardless of the reason.

Hearing him call her "Wanwan" made Chu Wanning go weak. The man was clearly lowering his voice on purpose—who could withstand that? And his attitude was almost excessively good.

"Lu Siyan, have you had many girlfriends?"

Chu Wanning’s first thought was that he must have coaxed many women to be this smooth. She forgot, however, that the man before her was gifted in every aspect—a true favorite of the heavens.

"No. In the company, everyone I interact with is a man. At the estate, only women over forty can be hired; that is a strict rule. Truly, they can all testify to that."

Chu Wanning had sharp instincts; she knew he was telling the truth.

"Am I the first?"

Lu Siyan nodded immediately, pulling her into his arms. "You are. Why don't you check for yourself tonight?"

Lu Siyan’s voice was unfair—she couldn't resist it! But wait... could she sleep with him? They hadn't said they couldn't when they registered their marriage! She didn't know why she had felt so uncomfortable earlier when she saw someone coveting her newlywed husband, but she decided to ask.

"Can I sleep with you?"

Chu Wanning pulled back from his embrace, her fox-like eyes clear and pure, though her words were shocking.

Lu Bei silently raised the partition; he couldn't listen to this conversation. Lu Siyan’s ears turned red.

"We are husband and wife."

Chu Wanning understood. Husband and wife were meant to fulfill their marital duties. She felt suddenly happy—so she could "consume" this man! She had thought it wasn't allowed, and she was glad she had asked, or she would have missed out on so much "happiness." In both her lives, she had never tasted the forbidden fruit.

She looked out the window. *Night is falling early, isn't it?* She was looking forward to it.

Seeing her mood improve, Lu Siyan brought out some snacks. "Want to eat something first?"

"No, I'm not hungry! I just wanted to make sure they knew you are my husband." She paused. "At least for the duration of the business arrangement you mentioned, I hope you keep yourself to yourself and fulfill your responsibilities. If you violate this, I will terminate our business deal."
