193 Enemies on a narrow road (2/2)

Guan Zhong was greatly disappointed with his young master. Where previously, he used to fancy pretty girls whose cherries were ripe for the picking. These days his tastes favored married women. He let out a long sigh and cautioned him, ”Young master, you should learn to grow up. The Huahai Corporation's bound to fall to you someday. But before that, you must prepare yourself to possess enough ability to carry the weight of its responsibilities.”

”You better shut up, my Pops is not even bothering me, why are you so nosy? Do you really think being the chamberlain gives you the authority to manage everything in my life? You better always remember that you're nothing but a dog of the Hua family. You're a dog that dares to interfere in its owner's business. Is your brain having a stroke?” Hua Haifeng shot back viciously.

”I...”

Guan Zhong wanted to explain but had he decided it was best to remain silent.

Hua Haifeng completely ignored him as he approached the nurse's desk, where Xiao Ruyi worked.

” Heh heh...women in nursing outfits are sexy, they really make me want to conquer them...”

He stared at Xiao Ruyi sitting at the nurse's desk, she was busy at work with her head lowered. Watching her lewdly, Hua Haifeng could not help himself and swallowed his saliva.

He smoothed out his attire quickly, then acting the perfect gentleman, he walked up to her. ”We meet again, Ruyi, my fair lady. These flowers are for you!”

His handsome face exuded with passionate fervor.

The nurses that were close by looked on in envy and perhaps a tinge of jealousy. A few of them even bit their lips so hard they were literally bleeding.

Xiao Ruyi looked up and said coldly, ”Give the flower to someone else, I don't want my husband to misunderstand.”

She might have been attracted to the likes of like Hua Haifeng when she was younger, but she was now no longer one of those innocent and demure little girls. She could tell that Hua Haifeng was a wolf in sheep's skin just by a single look. The unfortunate woman that fell prey to his ways would definitely be exploited thoroughly. If she hadn't been constrained by the fact that he was a patient there, she would have told him to get the f*ck out.

”These flowers represent my gratitude to you. When I was confined to my hospital bed, you were the shining light into my dimming world and allowed me to find the hope of living again. You're not just my angel in white, but the healer of my soul, so please accept this token of my gratitude towards you.”

Hua Haifeng was exceptional when it came to flattering girls, and as he said those, the nurses and female patients swooned, they even began to feel jealous and envious to the point of hating Xiao Ruyi. They wished that it was them that Hua Haifeng was showing his gratitude to.

Xiao Ruyi looked at him disdainfully and said, ”I'm a nurse, it's my job to look after the patients, you don't have to be thankful. I still have some work to do, you should get going. Please don't interfere with my work here.”

”If Ms. Ruyi agrees to dine with me tonight, then I'll leave. The dinner will be a gesture of my gratitude, I hope you won't misunderstand.” Hua Haifeng said.

”You better get...”

Xiao Ruyi's pretty brows furrowed in chagrin, and she almost shouted, ”get lost”, but quickly realizing that she needed to keep her excellent image as a nurse, she forcefully shut herself up.

”Honey.”

At this moment, Tang Ren finally got the opportunity to leave his department after hearing that someone was harassing his wife. When he got there, he understood the situation immediately, seeing the roses in Hua Haifeng's hand. He grabbed the flower with a smile and replied politely, ”You're here to thank my wife right, then I shall receive your gratitude on behalf of my wife. Hmm, the flower's pretty fresh and fragrant.”

”Really, hubby?”

Xiao Ruyi purposely leaned towards Tang Ren teasingly, wrapping her arms around his affectionately. She did not think that Hua Haifeng could be so thick-skinned to continue harassing her after seeing this.

But of course, she had underestimated how persistent Hua Haifeng was. His mind was already twisted. It was at the point where he took pleasure and felt a sense of accomplishment by snatching what belonged to others. The more affection Xiao Ruyi showed towards Tang Ren, the more he wanted to obtain Xiao Ruyi excitingly.
