Chapter 66: Compensation

Watching everyone leave, Cheng Honglin asked, "Second son, what is going on with Divine Doctor Chen and Young Master Zhang?"

Cheng Weijun sighed and said, "Dad, at first none of us believed in Divine Doctor Chen; we thought he was just causing trouble, so Young Master Zhang and Divine Doctor Chen had a verbal conflict."

Fortunately, Divine Doctor Li arrived, and Divine Doctor Chen was broad-minded, otherwise the matter would have been hard to resolve, and it might have delayed your treatment, Dad."

Cheng Honglin nodded and asked again, "How did Divine Doctor Chen end up in our home? And how did Divine Doctor Li come here?"

"Divine Doctor Chen was the bodyguard Kexin found for A Xiang before. When Divine Doctor Chen first came down from the mountain, he was likely looking for a job."

Cheng Weijun's face showed a look of admiration as he said, "I have witnessed Divine Doctor Chen's skills; to have strength above the Fifth Grade at such a young age truly shocked me. I didn't expect him to be Divine Doctor Li's junior fellow apprentice today, and his Medicine is also superb. It truly makes me both shocked and envious!"

"If that is how you put it, then it makes sense."

Cheng Honglin said, "It is reasonable for Kexin to know some extraordinary people while working at the Justice Inspection Department, and that Divine Doctor Li Qingyan must have come to the Cheng Family to find her junior fellow apprentice, Divine Doctor Chen."

Cheng Weijun nodded and said with great excitement, "Dad, our Cheng Family has welcomed two divine doctors at once. For such capable and extraordinary people to form a bond with our family, it is truly the Cheng Family's good fortune!"

Cheng Honglin agreed, "You are right, but there is still much we need to do."

"Divine Doctor Chen saved my life; we must think carefully about how to repay this kindness. Also, although Divine Doctor Chen is currently the Cheng Family's bodyguard, we cannot treat him as a bodyguard."

"When Divine Doctor Chen first came down from the mountain, he didn't understand worldly affairs, which is why he came to the Cheng Family to work as a bodyguard for a living. But now that Divine Doctor Li has found him, Divine Doctor Chen will certainly not stay in the Cheng Family anymore. Because of this, we must carefully consider our gift of gratitude. It cannot be too tacky, nor too expensive; it must leave a deep impression on Divine Doctor Chen so that he can remember our Cheng Family."

"Such a gift of gratitude is truly too difficult..."

Cheng Weijun suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Dad, Kexin has always been very enthusiastic toward Divine Doctor Chen, and the servants have even seen the two acting intimately several times. What do you think about us arranging a marriage with Divine Doctor Chen?"

Cheng Honglin frowned and pondered, "That is a good idea. The age difference between Divine Doctor Chen and Kexin is not large, and since he learned his craft on the mountain, he likely doesn't have anyone at home. If we can really arrange a marriage, Divine Doctor Chen could stay in the Cheng Family permanently."

"However, is Divine Doctor Chen interested in Kexin? If not, then this matter is hard to say," Cheng Honglin worried.

"I will probe him later; if he is interested, then the matter is settled!"

Cheng Weijun looked eager to try, not feeling that the act of "buying" his daughter was inappropriate in the slightest.

Cheng Honglin also smiled and said, "If it can really be done, then our Cheng Family will not only have married into the Zhang Family but also gained a talent like Divine Doctor Chen as a son-in-law. The Cheng Family's status in Shanghai will rise to a new level in the future!"

………

Under the personal guidance of Cheng Kexin and Cheng Kexin, Chen Che and the others were settled into their designated rooms.

Chen Che's room was on the second floor; he followed behind Cheng Kexin to the doorway.

Cheng Kexin handed him the room key and said, "Junior fellow apprentice, this is your room. If you need anything, just tell your senior sister."

Chen Che nodded and took the key.

Cheng Kexin suddenly stared at Chen Che with an apologetic face. Chen Che was startled and asked, "Senior sister, what's wrong?"

"Junior fellow apprentice, I'm sorry. Senior sister shouldn't have doubted your Medicine. You mustn't blame me."

Cheng Kexin put her hands together in a pleading gesture. For some reason, she was very afraid of making Chen Che dislike her.

"Senior sister wronged me; compensate me, and I won't blame you," Chen Che laughed.

Cheng Kexin didn't know what she was thinking, but a blush appeared on her pretty face as she asked, "How do you want me to compensate you?"

Chen Che poked his own cheek and said, "Kiss me, and I'll forgive you."

Cheng Kexin was startled, her face turning even redder. She looked left and right, and finding no one, she actually stood on tiptoe and gave Chen Che a fierce kiss on the cheek.

"Mwah!"

"Is that good now?" Cheng Kexin said with a blushing, chiding tone.

Chen Che gave a wicked smile: "Not enough!"

"Mmph..."

In Cheng Kexin's panicked gaze, Chen Che wrapped his arms around her slender waist and lowered his head to kiss her mouth forcefully.

One minute,

Two minutes,

Three minutes...

A full five minutes passed before the two separated, panting for breath.

Cheng Kexin's entire body was pressed against Chen Che, leaning on his shoulder to catch her breath—she was feeling dizzy from a lack of oxygen.

Chen Che held Cheng Kexin's soft, curvaceous body, unable to let go.

At the corner of the stairs not far away, Cheng Kexin watched this scene, a crystal-clear tear falling.

She forced the corners of her lips to curl into a bitter smile, silently turned, and went downstairs, the envy and jealousy in her heart growing wildly.

She wiped away her tears, took a deep breath, and whispered to herself, "That's great, it's really great! Sister, you must be happy!"

"Ah!"

Chen Che and Cheng Kexin, still lingering in the aftermath, were both startled.

Li Qingyan appeared out of nowhere; she pointed at the two with a gloomy expression as if catching them in the act: "Hmph hmph, I caught you! Is the game of fighting with tongues fun?"

Cheng Kexin was so ashamed she couldn't show her face; she pushed Chen Che away and, after leaving behind one sentence, ran away.

"I still have to deal with the matters regarding my uncle and the others; I'll come find you later."

Seeing Cheng Kexin flee in a panic, Chen Che also felt the social death of being caught doing something bad.

"Third senior sister, I..."

"No need to explain, senior sister understands!"

Li Qingyan didn't give Chen Che a chance to speak; instead, she forced him into a corner and pressed her body tightly against his.

Her breasts, straining against her shirt, pressed into Chen Che's chest, making his body, which had just cooled down, grow hot again.

"Senior sister, this... is a bit dangerous."

Chen Che met Li Qingyan's fiery gaze, his hands resting on her slender waist that didn't have an ounce of fat.

Noticing the probing hands on her waist, Li Qingyan didn't stop him, but rolled her eyes at him and said with a tone of holding him accountable: "We haven't seen each other in five or six years, and you give me such a big gift the moment we meet. Are you trying to anger me on purpose?!"

"No..."

Chen Che used force with his hands, pulling Li Qingyan closer; the two were pressed so tightly together they could hear each other's breathing.

Chen Che took the opportunity to move his arms upward, crossing them to embrace Li Qingyan's beautiful back, and laughed, "Third Senior Sister, we're all our own people, so don't be jealous. If you really feel uncomfortable, I can play the tongue-fighting game with you too—"

Before Chen Che could finish his sentence, Li Qingyan pinched him hard on the waist.

"You little brat, how long has it been since you came down from the mountain, and you've already learned to be so glib!"

Li Qingyan placed her hands on Chen Che's chest and pushed gently a few times, but after finding it had no effect, she stopped moving.

"I'm asking you, have you and your Sixth Senior Sister already slept together?"

Li Qingyan stared with her beautiful eyes and said suddenly.

"Uh..."

Chen Che stammered, "My Great Red Sun Poison flared up before, and Sixth Senior Sister was there at the time, so..."

"Fine, I knew it!"

Li Qingyan pinched Chen Che's chest again.

"Senior Sister, that hurts! And you know what I'm like when my poison flares up; this isn't something I can control," Chen Che hurriedly explained.

"Don't be nervous."

Li Qingyan suddenly smiled with ill intent, her slender fingers drawing circles on Chen Che's chest as she said, "Come to think of it, I helped you today too, how are you going to thank me?"

"Senior Sister, how do you want me to thank you?"

Chen Che placed his hands back on Li Qingyan's waist, his fingers restlessly slipping under the hem of her shirt to stroke her smooth skin in detail.

Li Qingyan's face turned bright red, and the ticklish sensation on her waist made her subconsciously squeeze her legs together.

"Do you still remember the things from when I was treating your illness on Kunlun Mountain?"

Li Qingyan said suddenly.

"Of course I remember." Chen Che blinked, not knowing what Li Qingyan meant.

"It was like that before; every time I used the Needle Technique to help you suppress the toxins, you would give me a massage to thank me."

Li Qingyan smiled seductively, "Today you have to give me a massage too, as thanks for me helping you."

"No problem!"

Chen Che was overjoyed; he used his key to open the door, pulled Li Qingyan into the room, and then slammed the door shut with a *clack*.
