LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 14:
Chapter 14: Envy of All Around!
“Qin Ningbing? Which Qin Ningbing?”
A cellmate in the adjacent cell asked curiously as Xia Liu shouted.
Originally, they had all been watching for fun, amused at how that overly muscular brute was bullying Xia Liu.
But now, hearing Xia Liu shout that name, they were all curious.
Because that name was very familiar.
Xia Liu broke down and cried, “What other Qin Ningbing could there be? The beautiful CEO of Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company in the magic capital—Qin Ningbing! She and I were engaged from childhood. I’m her fiancé! Tell her to come rescue me! Get me out of here…”
Initially, Xia Liu hadn’t planned on saying anything. He didn’t want to ask Qin Ningbing for help.
After all, being locked up in detention for unlicensed medical practice and harassment was far too humiliating.
Did he, Xia Liu, not care about his reputation?
How could he let his fiancée find out about something like this?
But now, facing the sinister smile of that massive brute Wu Gui, Xia Liu’s entire body was trembling. His lips quivered, his face had gone pale.
Large beads of cold sweat, the size of soybeans, rolled down his forehead.
He was terrified!
And it was still daytime. If night fell and the two of them were left alone in this cell… the consequences were unthinkable.
He had to get out—no matter what.
Even if it meant losing face, even if Qin Ningbing found out, he had to get out!
“What? Qin Ningbing, the beautiful CEO of Renshintang Pharmaceutical in the magic capital, is your fiancée from a childhood engagement?”
“Impossible! No way! Qin Ningbing is one of the four great beauties of the magic capital. She runs a pharmaceutical group worth billions. How could she possibly be engaged to a sleazy, disgusting guy like you?”
“What a joke! This guy’s clearly daydreaming, talking nonsense!”
“He’s lost it. I’d go crazy too if I were locked up with a brute like that.”
“…”
The prisoners in the surrounding cells were shocked at first, then all started shaking their heads and mocking him, clearly enjoying his misery.
None of them believed Xia Liu’s words.
After all, Qin Ningbing was one of the top four beauties of the magic capital, head of the century-old Renshintang Pharmaceutical Company, worth over ten billion.
Her status and beauty were both unattainable!
She was a goddess among goddesses.
And Xia Liu? He looked like a rat-faced pervert, greasy and shady. He’d been thrown in jail for unlicensed medical practice and harassment. How could he possibly be Qin Ningbing’s fiancé?
No one would believe it.
They just thought Xia Liu was talking nonsense, dreaming in broad daylight.
Xia Liu cried—genuinely cried.
Tears streamed down his face.
“Qin Ningbing… she really is my fiancée…”
…
Su Family Villa.
After several hours of martial arts training, the lesson had come to an end.
By noon, Shen Anyu had once again taken to the kitchen and prepared a table full of delicious dishes.
He sat with Su Hongmian—who was now as docile as a quail—and enjoyed a sweet, intimate lunch.
So affectionate, it would make others jealous!
If the students of Magic Capital University saw this scene, they would probably be in utter disbelief!
After all, Su Hongmian was one of the university’s top three campus belles, widely known as the hardest to approach—the coldest of the cold beauties!
Countless wealthy, handsome suitors had failed miserably, leaving dejected and embarrassed.
Some were even chased and beaten up by Su Hongmian herself, ending up with black eyes and bruised faces.
And yet now, here she was—acting like a sweet little bird in love.
If Xia Liu saw this scene, he would probably cry even harder.
While he was suffering in detention, this pair of lovebirds were enjoying themselves in bliss—how outrageous.
If Xia Liu knew that the source of all his misery was Shen Anyu, he would probably explode with rage.
After the sweet lunch—
Shen Anyu looked affectionately and sincerely at Su Hongmian and said, “Mianmian, I still have some things to take care of, so I can’t stay with you now.”
“When I have time, I’ll come see you again.”
Su Hongmian huffed softly and turned her head with a proud pout, “Who wants you to stay? I don’t care.”
Shen Anyu smiled, leaned forward, and gently kissed her smooth forehead, then waved and turned to leave.
“Next time, when you come to see me, I’ll fulfill the bet and do what I promised…”
Just as Shen Anyu reached the door, Su Hongmian’s soft and shy voice floated over.
It was so faint that if Shen Anyu didn’t have profound martial cultivation, he might not have heard it.
He turned back, smiling meaningfully at her and said slowly, “I’ll remember that. Don’t try to back out later.”
Su Hongmian’s face turned bright red. She lowered her head and didn’t dare say another word.
Shen Anyu laughed heartily and stepped outside.
Su Hongmian lifted her head, gazing at Shen Anyu’s departing figure with a dreamy look in her eyes. She watched for a long time before finally withdrawing her gaze and muttering with a blush, “I won’t go back on it…”
…
At this moment, Shen Anyu had already driven his limited-edition red Lamborghini back to his luxurious riverside mansion in the magic capital.
“Young Master!”
A woman in her forties respectfully stepped forward to greet him.
She was Shen Anyu’s housekeeper, He Ying, a trusted aide personally sent by his mother An Zhiyi to take care of him.
Her family had served the Shen family in Yanxia for generations—since the time of Shen Anyu’s great-great-grandfather. She was a family servant, absolutely loyal.
She was also incredibly capable, holding multiple PhDs from top universities in fields such as management, law, economics, finance, and psychology. She had once served as the CEO of a listed subsidiary under the Shen Consortium.
With He Ying managing things, everything in Shen Anyu’s life—from major matters to trivial details—was handled in perfect order, making him feel extremely at ease.
Of course, in terms of looks and figure, she was average at best—though she did carry a gentle, approachable aura.
But Shen Anyu didn’t care. He wasn’t some overly lustful playboy who got excited just from seeing women.
Unless it was a top-tier beauty, ordinary women were never targets for his interest.
Every Destiny Female Lead, however, was a top-tier beauty among top-tier beauties—crafted from the keyboards of countless authors, where even every pore sparkled.
Some even possessed unscientific, fantastical eternal attributes.
Still, Shen Anyu felt that his surroundings were a little dull.
As a top noble young master, how could he not have a few graceful and alluring private maids by his side?
After thinking it over, Shen Anyu’s eyes lit up. He turned to He Ying and instructed,
“There’s a little nurse named Ruan Lingshan at the Magic Capital First People’s Hospital. He Ying, recruit her as my private nurse.”
She was also one of the Destiny Female Leads tied to the Village Miracle Doctor—the Chosen One Xia Liu—and had been his childhood neighbor. She had gotten into the Magic Capital Medical University and was now working at the city’s top hospital.
Naturally, Shen Anyu wasn’t going to let her slip by.
“Yes, Young Master,” He Ying replied softly.
Now that Shen Anyu had issued the order, no matter what it took, she would get it done.
Even if it meant using underhanded methods.
This was He Ying’s duty as a housekeeper.
Shen Anyu nodded in satisfaction. Whatever order he gave—no matter how excessive—He Ying would always carry it out at all costs.
And with the combined influence and power of both the Shen and An families, there were almost no tasks they couldn’t accomplish.
Casually, Shen Anyu asked, “How did the task I assigned last night go?”
