"I understand, President Qiao. Rest assured, I'll take care of it right away..." Xia Chunfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead again, not daring to look at Wang Xiaoqiang anymore.

"President Qiao, this is quite embarrassing," Wang Xiaoqiang said politely.

"Oh, what are you saying? Having you interested in a property from Qiao Real Estate is an honor for us. Don't bother with the formalities..." Qiao Hui was indeed very good with words.

Hearing this, Xia Chunfeng thought to himself; no wonder he's won the favor of Xu Qingxue. Turns out this young fellow is someone even President Qiao respects!

After completing the property purchase procedures, Qiao Hui said, "Mr. Wang, I mentioned before about inviting you for a meal, when would you be available..."

Wang Xiaoqiang thought for a moment and said, "How about now? But let's skip the meal and just find a place to sit. By the way, I can also check on Qiao Zhi's illness..."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Hui was pleasantly surprised, "If Mr. Wang doesn't mind, how about coming to my house..."

Wang Xiaoqiang turned to look at Xu Qingxue, as if asking if she would like to come along.

Seeing how much Wang Xiaoqiang cared about her, Xu Qingxue also felt sweet inside. Before she could express her thoughts, Qiao Hui had already spoken up, "Chief Xu hasn't visited my home yet. Today, you must grace us with your presence..."

Sure enough, a strong businesswoman knows just what to say—neither too hot nor too cold, but always very comfortable.

Xu Qingxue nodded.

Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Alright, then let's go to your mansion!"

After a short while, Wang Xiaoqiang and Xu Qingxue arrived at a luxurious villa. It was a detached villa with a private courtyard, where security guards were on duty, and there lay a Japanese Tosa at the entrance.

The Qiao Family, after all, did not start on the Righteous Path; their residence was quite secluded, and their security was much stricter than the average household. None of this was surprising.

Before even entering the villa's living room, they heard the melodious sound of piano music. Upon entering, they discovered that it was Qiao Zhi playing the piano.

As her condition improved, Qiao Zhi's mood also brightened. With better spirits, she picked up her former hobbies and was now wearing a cotton dress suitable for autumn, sitting at the piano with great concentration.

"Azhi, come and greet the guests," someone said.

Qiao Hui hadn't told Qiao Zhi about Wang Xiaoqiang's visit in advance, mainly wanting to give her a surprise. Typically, when guests arrived, Qiao Zhi wouldn't rise to greet them, but the moment she saw it was Wang Xiaoqiang, she was taken by surprise, quickly stopped playing, and stood up from the piano to welcome him.

"Mr. Wang, hello," Qiao Zhi extended her delicate and tender right hand to Wang Xiaoqiang, her small hand resembling a finely carved jade artifact. With a bright smile surfacing on her face, she seemed slightly warmer towards Wang Xiaoqiang than before.

"Miss Qiao has quite the artistic hobby..." Although it was not the first time he had shaken her hand, the touch felt extremely pleasant, irresistibly comforting.

To Qiao Zhi's mild surprise, Wang Xiaoqiang had brought another woman with him, but she still extended her hand to Xu Qingxue, "And you are...?"

Since Qiao Zhi rarely socialized and lived a semi-reclusive life, she didn't recognize the beautiful chief from the Provincial Capital, Xu Qingxue,

"Uh, this is the beautiful Chief from River City, Miss Xu..." Qiao Hui helped her sister with the introduction.

"Welcome," Qiao Zhi's affection for Wang Xiaoqiang had not reached the point of jealousy, so she also greeted Xu Qingxue's arrival with pleasure, naturally smiling as she shook her hand.

While Qiao Zhi was unaffected, Xu Qingxue was not as composed, seeing how welcomed Wang Xiaoqiang was by the Qiao Sisters; she couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy, responding somewhat curtly, "No need for formalities."

Since it was not time for a meal, and Wang Xiaoqiang had said there was no need for one, Qiao Hui hadn't prepared any. Instead, she personally made coffee, pouring a cup for each of them.

Wang Xiaoqiang, not used to the bitter stuff and with no time to drink, asked Qiao Zhi, "Miss Qiao, how are you feeling now?"

Upon being asked, Qiao Zhi replied with a touch of shyness, "I feel much better, almost recovered, but there's still..."

She wanted to say there was still a lump in her RU room, but somehow the words just wouldn't come out.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoqiang understood her reluctance. So he didn't press her but said, "Well, let me treat Miss Qiao again..."

Qiao Hui's face lit up with joy when she heard this, and she stood up saying, "Mr. Wang, will the treatment be the same as last time?"

Wang Xiaoqiang could have treated her by leading the Spiritual Energy through the air, but that would have been too shocking, so he said, "Of course."

"Good, then let's go to Aqiao's room..."

Qiao Hui pointed to Qiao Zhi's bedroom and gestured to Wang Xiaoqiang.

Before Wang Xiaoqiang could respond, Xu Qingxue couldn't help herself and blurted out, "Little Qiang, you, what are you going to do?"

"Treat an illness, treating Miss Qiao..." Wang Xiaoqiang said earnestly.

"Treat an illness? There's no need to go to the bedroom to treat an illness..." Xu Qingxue said with a thin veil of anger on her pretty face. Thinking back to the time Wang Xiaoqiang had treated her for her menstrual issues, with physical contact involved, she momentarily felt relieved. However, the thought of Wang Xiaoqiang and Qiao Zhi making physical contact in that bedroom soon filled her with unpleasant feelings.

"Little Xue, this is for curing an illness. Don't get the wrong idea, ah..." Wang Xiaoqiang patted Xu Qingxue's fragrant shoulder, trying to console her.

"Just make sure you don't get the wrong idea, hmph!" Xu Qingxue turned her pretty face away, ignoring Wang Xiaoqiang.

Seeing this, the Qiao Sisters also felt a bit awkward. It was clear to them that Xu Qingxue was feeling jealous, so Qiao Zhi, the person concerned, spoke up, "Chief Xu, rest assured, Mr. Wang is a gentleman and will do nothing inappropriate..."

Xu Qingxue glanced at Qiao Zhi and, seeing that breathtaking beauty that was no lesser than her own, and despite Qiao Zhi's delicate yet enchanting figure suggesting she wasn't voluptuous, knew that any man alone with her would find it hard to resist, especially with the prospect of physical contact. How could Xu Qingxue be at ease?

However, despite her unease, the illness still needed to be treated.

This time, Qiao Zhi took the initiative to lead Wang Xiaoqiang into her fragrant boudoir.

To say it was a fragrant boudoir was not an exaggeration; even before entering Qiao Zhi's bedroom, Wang Xiaoqiang first caught a whiff of a subtle fragrance. Upon entering the room, the scent became even more intense, yet it didn't clog the nostrils, being faint, fresh, and cool, it was exceedingly pleasant, refreshing his mind and refreshing his lungs. Wang Xiaoqiang quietly sniffed, realizing that this scent was neither perfume nor cosmetics nor skincare products, but a fragrance with seemingly no chemical components involved.

However, the fragrance was intense. It could be said to be a woman's body scent, but no matter how much one stretched the truth, that couldn't be the case. After all, a woman's natural fragrance couldn't be detected from such a distance.

But little did Wang Xiaoqiang know, this was one of Second Miss Qiao's unique attributes; she possessed a strange and enchanting fragrance on her body, which could rival even that of the Fragrant Concubine in the Qing Palace. Hence, even if she didn't use any skincare, makeup, or perfume, she would emit a fragrance, and because she spent a lot of time in her bedroom, the room was pervaded with her peculiar scent.

Being alone with a lady was already an intimate affair, and now with such a powerful fragrance in the air, Wang Xiaoqiang soon found his mind running wild. Contrary to the last time, Qiao Zhi was not reserved and cooperated fully, taking off her dress and lying down on the bed obediently.

Wang Xiaoqiang gazed at her beautiful body, momentarily lost in thought.

"Mr. Wang, can we start now?" Qiao Zhi saw Wang Xiaoqiang staring intently at her without making a move and felt her heart pounding, so she prompted him. "Uh, yes, we can start now." Wang Xiaoqiang said, taking a seat beside Qiao Zhi, ...

..................

As for Xu Qingxue, the moment she saw Wang Xiaoqiang enter the bedroom with Qiao Zhi, her heart felt as if it was being fiercely grasped. Although she reminded herself to stay calm, she couldn't help but feel extremely upset, wanting to cry, and so made the excuse of going to the bathroom to wash her face. About five minutes later, seeing that Wang Xiaoqiang had already come out of the bedroom with a layer of sweat on his forehead.

This time, Wang Xiaoqiang shortened the treatment, as the process was too torturous, with that lingering and strange scent putting his nerves on edge...

And the lady under his care was equally in agony...

To spare them both further suffering, Wang Xiaoqiang increased and hastened the input of Spiritual Energy, deciding to end the treatment prematurely.

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang emerge from the bedroom sweating profusely, while Qiao Zhi didn't come out with him, Xu Qingxue's suspicions deepened. It felt to her as if a woman had stolen Wang Xiaoqiang's body, and she felt both anger and resentment, yet she managed to retain her composure.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Wang." Qiao Hui handed him a piece of paper to wipe his sweat, and Wang Xiaoqiang wiped his brow saying, "Same as before, I can't draw any conclusions now. We'll have to see how the treatment progresses. If there's any issue, give me a call..."

"Ah, thank you so much, Mr. Wang," Qiao Hui replied joyfully. "You should check on Qiao Zhi. We shall take our leave now." Seeing Xu Qingxue looking frosty, Wang Xiaoqiang felt a bit guilty and was eager to leave the Qiao residence.

"Alright, I'll see you out," said Qiao Hui, who escorted Wang Xiaoqiang and Xu Qingxue out. She then returned to Qiao Zhi's bedroom, finding her sister still lying there with blushing cheeks and a dazed look in her eyes... (To be continued.
