Chapter 172
Chenyang scratched his head. "Sister Liu can help deliver the baby, but don’t hospitals usually coordinate with specialized agencies for paternity tests? They could try to get to the people who handle that connection."
"They’ve already bribed the people at the testing agency in private, and the other hospital staff members in charge of this have been taken care of. The only step left is Director Liu. As the attending physician, procedure requires her to sign off on it."
"So, all that’s missing is her signature?"
"Right. As long as she agrees to sign, my best friend and her husband will give Director Liu a handsome fee."
"Even so, she might not agree."
"That’s why I’m asking you for help. After all, you two have a special relationship."
As she spoke, An Xiaoqing moved even closer to Chenyang. The delicate hand that had been teasing his chest didn’t just slide down; it slipped inside his pants and wrapped around his searing-hot length.
Gently stroking him, she smiled seductively. "Get this done for me, and I’ll reward you properly."
"Why are you so invested in your best friend’s business?"
"We’re just that close."
"Close enough that you’d sleep with me for her?"
"It’s not just me. If you want, both of us can take care of you together."
"Director An, this wanton side of you is a far cry from how you acted when we first met."
"You’ve already slept with me. Why bother pretending to be modest now?"
Chenyang grinned. "I can give it a shot, but I can’t guarantee it’ll work."
"With you on the case, it’s a sure thing." An Xiaoqing smiled and kissed Chenyang. "I’ll be waiting for your good news. Also, you need to watch out for Gao Tianqi.
With Director Liu backing you, he probably won’t dare to touch you inside the hospital, but who knows what will happen once you step outside. That bastard is a petty, vindictive son of a bitch. You can bet he’ll resort to some dirty tricks."
"You’re his wife, yet not only are you sleeping with me, you’re also helping me against him... For that alone, I feel like it would be worth it even if he did manage to beat me up."
Chenyang smiled. "But there’s one thing I don’t get. You two obviously can’t stand each other anymore, and you’re at each other’s throats. Why not just get a divorce?"
"Our marriage was arranged by our parents. It involves two families and the countless business interests of two corporations. We can’t get divorced, and they’d never allow us to."
An Xiaoqing shrugged. "But it doesn’t really matter anymore. From now on, he can have his fun, and I’ll have mine. Of course, you’re the only one I’ll be playing with."
"Oh? Is Director An saying I’ve conquered her?"
"Not by you. By *it*!" As she spoke, she gave a few forceful strokes to the big guy, which had already rekindled its fighting spirit.
Her teasing sent a rush of wicked heat through Chenyang’s lower body, and he desperately wanted to pin her to the desk and go for another round.
But the thought that Liu Yun was still waiting upstairs forced him to hold back.
"I’ll talk to her about what you asked. For now, I’m going to find Sister Liu."
"Okay. Come find me anytime when you’re done."
An Xiaoqing let go of Chenyang, but her lingering, sultry gaze seemed to say she desperately wanted another round with him.
Chenyang gave her pert bottom a light slap before striding out of the room.
As he passed through the main hall, Chenyang happened to run into Xiaoyun, Sister Ling, and the others.
They had wanted to sneak a peek after Gao Tianqi went into the office.
But before they could, the head nurse showed up for an inspection. They had a hard time getting rid of her, and by the time they did, they saw Liu Yun go in with someone.
With one thing after another, they didn’t dare to go closer.
Afterward, all they saw was Gao Tianqi’s humiliated expression and the sight of Liu Yun leaving with a smile.
Now, seeing Chenyang, their curiosity got the better of them and they all crowded around.
He didn’t have scratches all over his face like they’d imagined, nor did he look the least bit flustered or embarrassed like someone who’d just been caught in an affair.
This made them wonder, ’What’s going on?’
’The sounds from the office earlier were obviously... *that*. And Gao Tianqi went in himself. So how come the one who looked humiliated wasn’t Chenyang, but Gao Tianqi?’
’Could it be that there’s more to Chenyang than meets the eye? Did Gao Tianqi know he was sleeping with An Xiaoqing but didn’t dare to say a word?’
All these questions left them completely bewildered.
Xiaoyun couldn’t hold back any longer and asked, "Hey, handsome, how did it go with Director An? Did she agree to hire you?"
Chenyang folded his arms. "Of course she did."
"She really did?"
"Obviously. If she hadn’t, would I be on my way to report to Liu Yun right now?"
"What? You’re reporting directly to Director Liu?"
Xiaoyun froze, her face a mask of astonishment.
But Sister Ling just shook her head. "Stop bluffing. Even if you did get hired, there’s no way you’d be assigned to Director Liu. She only takes on one intern each year, and this year’s spot was already taken by Dr. Chenyang, who she just recommended. There’s absolutely no room for you."
