Flower City's Peerless Divine Doctor-Chapter 574: Everyone Loves Beauty

"The desire for beauty is universal. Can't I even take a look?"

Throughout the half-day, the two had grown quite familiar with each other, just like the times in Kyoto.

Li Chen didn't bother hiding it and joked with a smile.

"Go to hell!"

Yu Xin raised her little fists and lightly punched Li Chen's back.

Such an affectionate gesture made them look like a couple deeply in love to anyone who saw.

Li Chen noticed it too, but considering this woman's personality, he didn't take it to heart.

Soon, the squid was grilled.

Li Chen gave her a skewer and grabbed one for himself, and they strolled by the river together.

Talking as they walked.

Yu Xin brought up that damned sticky Chen Shaojie again, saying he was still clinging to her and was especially annoying.

"Haha, a gorgeous girl like you, and also a daughter of a wealthy family, only a fool would easily give up," teased Li Chen.

"What about you?" Yu Xin blurted out.

As soon as she said it, she regretted it a bit.

She couldn't explain why she had suddenly asked such a question, but it seemed like she was very eager for an answer.

Then suddenly remembering that he was her good friend's boyfriend, a shadow crossed her eyes, and she continued, "I just wanted to ask about your impression of me, don't overthink it..."

Li Chen stopped in his tracks, somewhat stunned.

Looking at that beautiful face, unsure how to interpret this.

The statement was too ambiguous.

His first reaction was, could this woman be interested in him?

But the moment that thought appeared, he dismissed it. He was confident, but not arrogant enough to assume such adoration from her.

Not to mention, she was a lady from a wealthy family.

"You, seeming gentle but actually quirky, like a little witch, and moreover, so attractive, any man would be moved!"

"Giggle, credit to you for having taste!"

All at once, Yu Xin's laughter brightened.

She nibbled lightly on the squid in her hand. Her lips glistening with oil, Li Chen felt a strong urge to kiss her.

By the time he came back to his senses, Yu Xin was already walking ahead with light steps.

Under the streetlights, even her silhouette was so appealing.

Li Chen shook his head with a smile and followed.

"Hey, what a beauty! Come have a few more drinks with us."

"What are you doing? Let go of me!"

Just then, Yu Xin's panicky voice sounded up ahead.

Li Chen abruptly looked up, and not far in front, three silhouettes blocked the way, reaching for Yu Xin.

Seeing this scene, his expression changed, and he quickly stepped forward.

He grabbed the offending hand and another around Yu Xin's waist, pulling her back to shield her behind him.

"Ah! It hurts! It hurts! Kid, let go of me!"

Blondie, his wrist caught, grimaced in pain and cursed loudly.

The three men obviously had been drinking, with a strong smell of alcohol about them, and were a bit unsteady on their feet.

Thinking it's better to avoid trouble,

Li Chen didn't want to cause more trouble and flung Blondie's hand away, preparing to leave with Yu Xin.

"Kid, did I say you could leave?"

"Playing the hero in front of me, huh? Be smart and get lost. I'm in a good mood seeing this beauty, so I won't hold it against you today," said the middle one, Blondie, swaying as he reached for Yu Xin again.

Yu Xin was clearly terrified.

She clung tightly to Li Chen's arm.

The proud curves of her chest pressed warmly into Li Chen's hand, a soft sensation that made him internally revel.

So comfortable!

Looking at the three men, he frowned and shouted coldly, "Scram!"

"Kid, what did you say?"

Blondie, drunk and incredulous, stared at Li Chen. In this part of the city, who dared talk to him like that? Didn't he know the meaning of death?

"Get lost!"

Li Chen's tone grew even colder.

"You motherfuc..."

Blondie immediately flew into a rage and swung his hand towards Li Chen.

But before he could reach Li Chen, his wrist was seized, and with just a slight effort from Li Chen, he was wincing in pain, baring his teeth and roaring in anger.

Seeing this, two others nearby also took action.

But how could they be a match for Li Chen?

Not to mention, each one of them was drunkenly swaying, and within moments, they were all knocked down by Li Chen.

"Let's go!"

Turning around, he glanced at Yu Xin's panicked little face, grabbed her hand, stepped over the three men lying on the ground, and continued walking forward.

"Kid, do you know who I am? If you've got the balls, don't leave. Wait for me."

Li Chen stopped in his tracks and turned his head.

The three men were terrified, scrambled up from the ground, cursing as they fled quickly.

"Li Chen, thank you!"

"Thank me for what? As you said, I'm the host. How could I allow you to be bullied?"

Yu Xin looked up, her eyes shimmering with an unusual glimmer.

Her curiosity grew stronger.

With such great medical skills and such impressive abilities, although he never mentioned anything, that confidence radiating from him, how could he be just an ordinary doctor?

Her hand was still held in his, and she couldn't tell if it was intentional.

Her heart raced, pounding wildly.

The shyness of a young girl made her feel like she should withdraw her hand, but being held by him felt so reassuring.

After walking for a while the sky began to darken.

A cool breeze blew over from the river.

"It's getting late, let me take you back. Where are you staying?"

"I've booked a room at the Paulownia Cloudscapes Hotel."

Li Chen nodded and led her back.

Initially, it was inadvertent, but later he became aware, and seeing that she didn't object, he kept holding her hand.

The suppressed thought surfaced once again.

"Yu Xin, why are you here in Dragon City this time?"

"Oh, my company has some business in Dragon City, and my dad wanted me to gain more experience, so he sent me here."

The shyness of a young woman, how could she possibly admit that she begged to come?

And throughout the journey, as Li Chen held her, her heartbeat hadn't settled down.

The two of them walked and talked.

During the conversation, Li Chen learned that Yu Xin's father is the chairman of a multi-billion conglomerate involving real estate, hotels, tourism, and several other projects.

And she, being the only child at home, had already joined the company.

Recalling Chen Shaojie's murderous gaze back in Kyoto, Li Chen finally understood.

Whoever marries her will be inheriting a multi-billion conglomerate.

No wonder!

"Big brother, that's him!"

"Fuck, finally found you. You dare to beat me, I'm gonna break your legs today!"

While the two were talking, a sudden voice erupted.

Ahead, a imposing group of about twenty or thirty men approached, some shirtless, walking towards them.

At the forefront was a burly man with a shiny bald head adorned with a thick gold chain.

Beside the bald man were three others, one of whom was Blondie who had been beaten up by Li Chen earlier.

"Li Chen!"

Yu Xin was clearly frightened by this show of force.

She leaned closer to Li Chen, her hand flipping to grasp his tightly.

She was quite scared.
