After Divorce, Bewitching Female CEO Pursues Me - Chapter 23

A few minutes later,

 

Chen Ping entered Wen Xue’er’s room, while Wen Xue’er stayed behind to accompany Ye Xiaoqing, just in case.

 

At the same time, Nanhu, the Wen Wanli residence.

 

Wen Wanli’s face darkened after receiving a phone call.

 

He looked at an old man in a green robe in front of him, “Master Hu, the plan failed. General Hei and his three thousand men were wiped out! My informant said it was too dark, and he was too far away to see clearly. There was chaos on the scene, so he couldn’t identify who did it. I suspect my elder brother secretly sent skilled individuals to protect them!”

 

Ever since Wen Pengcheng was saved by Chen Ping, Wen Wanli harbored murderous intentions towards Chen Ping.

 

For this reason, he spent money to hire General Hei, after tracking them all the way, he finally found an opportunity to eliminate Chen Ping and Wen Xue’er.

 

Who knew,

 

General Hei’s son, Cai Xukun, was truly living up to his name, useless. Instead of killing Chen Ping and Wen Xue’er, he was captured by Chen Ping,

 

General Hei had to personally take action, bringing three thousand troops with him,

 

Thinking victory was assured, But it still ended in failure.

 

No one knew the specifics of how they failed,

 

Only that General Hei blocked the news and forbade any leakage.

 

However, Wen Wanli guessed that it must have been Wen Pengcheng who secretly dispatched skilled individuals.

 

This made him vigilant.

 

“In that case, your elder brother is already planning to get rid of you!”

 

Master Hu stroked his goat beard, “From now on, the conflict between you brothers can only move from the shadows to the forefront. If he doesn’t treat you as a brother, you don’t have to regard him as your elder brother either. Whoever needs to be killed must be killed. Otherwise, your whole family will end up dead!”

 

“Of course, since your elder brother has already begun arrangements, you shouldn’t act recklessly in the short term. It’s not too late to let my senior brother intervene when he arrives in Han!”

 

“Master Hu, is your senior brother the Grandmaster Zhongyang from the martial arts world, one of the Five Grandmasters, along with Donglong, Nanque, Xihu, Beigui?” Wen Wanli was initially stunned, then his eyes lit up with anticipation.

 

“Yes, it’s him! With him in the Central Domain, who can’t be slaughtered?” Master Hu nodded slowly as he stroked his goat beard.

 

“Good! Haha…” Wen Wanli burst into laughter.

 

…

 

The next day,

 

Early in the morning,

 

Chen Ping had just woken up, when he smelled a fragrance in the air.

 

Stepping out of his bedroom, following the scent, Chen Ping arrived at the kitchen.

 

He saw Wen Xue’er wearing an apron, cooking shredded pork and fried noodles in the pot.

 

The fragrance in the room all came from here.

 

Looking at the side profile of this woman, stunningly beautiful, exuding an aura of nobility,

 

But unlike typical girls from wealthy families, this woman didn’t exhibit any princess syndrome,

 

On the contrary, she was down-to-earth, even cooking herself, truly rare.

 

Perhaps sensing something,

 

Wen Xue’er turned her head, wiped the sweat from her forehead, “Mr. Chen, you’re awake. Please sit in the living room for a while. It’ll be ready soon!”

 

“Okay.” Chen Ping nodded slowly. “By the way… Oh, where’s Ye Xiaoqing? Hasn’t she woken up yet?”

 

“She… went to work early in the morning. You don’t need to worry about her!” Wen Xue’er explained.

 

“Oh, I see!”

 

Chen Ping thought Ye Xiaoqing hadn’t shown up because she was embarrassed about last night’s awkwardness,

 

But hearing Wen Xue’er’s explanation, Ye Xiaoqing should be fine.

 

He sat down in the living room,

 

Not long after,

 

Wen Xue’er brought over rice wine egg drop soup, fried dough sticks, and shredded pork fried noodles one after another.

 

Chen Ping sniffed, “Hmm, smells delicious. I didn’t expect a lady like you to cook yourself!”

 

“Of course.” Wen Xue’er was not modest at all.

 

“Great!”

 

Chen Ping picked up a piece of fried noodles and savored it slowly,

 

Not greasy, very refreshing,

 

Eating it, it had a taste of home-cooked meals.

 

For a moment, he felt touched.

 

In the four years of marriage with Su Wanyun,

 

He had always served Su Wanyun in daily life, treating her like a queen,

 

After eating, he even washed the dishes himself,

 

But Su Wanyun had never voluntarily cooked a meal for him, or even fed him a bite of food.

 

Women, even with the same gender, were treated so differently.

 

“What’s wrong? Doesn’t it suit your taste?” Seeing Chen Ping silent, Wen Xue’er became anxious and urged him to taste it.

 

“No, it’s delicious!”

 

“Really?” Wen Xue’er’s eyes lit up, urging, “Then eat more. After we finish, let’s go shopping and visit Market No. 1…”

 

Seeing Chen Ping enjoying the noodles she cooked, Wen Xue’er was very happy and spirited in her speech.

 

“Visit Market No. 1?” Chen Ping asked while eating, “Why?”

 

“The commercial CBD project in the southern part of the city is about to start construction. My father has been ill for too long and is weak, unable to attend. My brother is still inside, and my second uncle’s family is up to no good. It’s not easy for a woman like me to hold up the fort. I want to invite him to attend then, to show strength and deter some scoundrels…” Wen Xue’er explained slowly while watching Chen Ping eat noodles.

 

“So that’s it!”

 

Chen Ping didn’t object and continued eating the fried noodles.

 

It had to be said that Wen Xue’er’s cooking skills were quite good,

 

Whether it was fried noodles or rice wine egg drop soup, they suited Chen Ping’s taste,

 

He ate voraciously, disregarding his image,

 

Then wiped his mouth.

 

“Let’s go, where are we going to shop?” Chen Ping looked at Wen Xue’er.

 

“I heard Market No. 1 likes antique calligraphy and paintings, so let’s go to the antique street!”

 

More than an hour later,

 

Wuchang Antique Street.

 

This was the longest and largest antique street in the southern part of Wuchang,

 

The foot traffic here was even higher than the commercial pedestrian street.

 

“Chen Ping? How come I can run into you, the little prison guard, everywhere? You really are like a dog’s tail grass, wherever Su Wanyun is, you can sniff out and come running. Your nose is really sensitive and annoying!”

 

Just as Chen Ping and Wen Xue’er stepped into the antique street,

 

They heard a grating voice,

 

Looking in the direction of the sound,

 

They saw Su Wanyun and Li Yunhao walking over.

 

Today, Li Yunhao was holding a delicate box,

 

Inside the box was a wooden eagle carving, looking very exquisite. Li Yunhao treated it like a national treasure, holding it very carefully.

 

Beside him, Su Wanyun intended to greet Chen Ping when she saw him,

 

But when she saw Wen Xue’er holding onto Chen Ping’s arm,

 

She felt repulsed by this scene.

 

For some reason, a hint of dissatisfaction welled up in her heart, and seeing Chen Ping’s expression, she was full of displeasure.

 

“Chen Ping, you little prison guard, you don’t know anything about antiques, why are you here?”

 

Li Yunhao looked disdainfully at Chen Ping, “Oh, Wanyun, I understand now. Chen Ping is now trying to curry favor with a wealthy woman, wanting to integrate into high society as soon as possible, so he specially came to learn!”

 

“But there’s a saying, ‘Once a mud-legged person, always a mud-legged person.’

 

“You’re thirty already, and you’re just starting to learn now. Is there still time? Haha…”

 

“A piece of trash, and you treat him like a treasure. Are all upper-class people so blind?” Chen Ping glanced at the eagle carving in Li Yunhao’s hand and retorted coldly!
