Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Two Hundred Sixty-Three

Behind the office desk, Jin Lian wore a light purple sweater paired with a plaid long skirt, the form-fitting garment snugly wrapping around her voluptuous and alluring figure.

One hand propped up her chin, her fair and delicate oval face bearing a faint trace of melancholy.

"Manager Jin! How's the company's finance doing recently?" Xiaoshan approached Jin Lian with an all-business expression.

"It's okay, I guess." The slight grievance in Jin Lian's heart grew stronger; he didn't even bring back a gift, and all he cares about is work.

"Let me see it."

Xiaoshan moved to the side of her desk.

Although Jin Lian was angry, she was still very responsible with her work, and she began explaining the financial report on the computer to Xiaoshan.

Ever since Xiaoshan had performed marrow cleansing on her, Jin Lian's skin had become as smooth and supple as a young girl's, without a single fine line on her neck, which appeared round and sleek, revealing a small section of clavicle that was incredibly sexy.

Xiaoshan cracked a slight smile and took out a beautifully crafted small box from his pants pocket and opened it.

Jin Lian was earnestly explaining the company's financial status to Xiaoshan.

Suddenly, she felt a cool sensation on her neck.

She quickly looked down and saw a sparkling diamond necklace adorning her neck, its entire length studded with countless tiny diamonds, the pendant shaped like a Snow Lotus, with a ring of gold around the edge.

She let out a soft exclamation and looked up.

Her heart thumped wildly, her breathing becoming somewhat rushed as she asked, "Little Xiaoshan, is, is this for me?"

"Mhm, Sister Jinlian, I picked this out especially for you. Do you like it?" Xiaoshan smiled warmly, Jin Lian had a pitiable background, and he wanted to give her more attention and care.

Jin Lian felt as if her heart had been tightly squeezed.

Looking down at the necklace that glittered with light, she felt a sourness at the corners of her eyes and a gentle affection flowing through her heart.

She had thought Xiaoshan had forgotten to bring her a gift.

As it turned out, he had brought her something special.

Although she didn't know much about jewelry, it was clear that the necklace was extremely valuable, far surpassing the value of gifts Xiaoshan had brought for other staff members at the company.

But that wasn't what was most important.

Even if the necklace wasn't worth a dime, it wouldn't matter.

Who gave it was what mattered most.

She looked up, tears shining in her eyes.

"Why are you crying now? Sister Jinlian, aren't you embarrassed?" Xiaoshan teased.

Jin Lian didn't say a word, but reached up to pull Xiaoshan's neck down, bringing their lips crashing together in an instant. Your next read is at empire

Out of the blue, the door clattered open.

The pair, hearing the noise, hastily pulled apart.

Jin Lian, somewhat flustered, straightened her clothes, while Xiaoshan quickly wiped the lipstick from the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Xuan of the finance department pushed the door and entered.

Seeing Xiaoshan standing behind Jin Lian, she paused and said, "President Long, you're here too."

Then her suspicious gaze fell on the still-flushed and slightly disheveled manager, her eyes gradually filling with an odd meaning.

Jin Lian's face turned deathly pale as she stood frozen.

She had not expected that her impulsive intimacy with Xiaoshan in the office would be discovered on their first encounter.

How could she face anyone in the village if this spread?

Ruining her own reputation was one thing, but tarnishing Xiaoshan's as well...

"Oh, little Zhang, why did you enter without knocking?"

Xiaoshan put on a slightly tougher façade, calming his breath before feigning an authoritative tone as he asked.

Facing Xiaoshan's questioning, Zhang Xuan's heart pounded with fear as she suddenly realized how formidable the man before her was—the domineering CEO who had fired half the company staff in one go. If she had interrupted his romantic moment, her fate was sealed; she might as well pack her bags and leave today.

In her panic, Zhang Xuan quickly said, "President Long, I—I suppose I did knock, perhaps you and the manager were too engrossed in financial matters and didn't hear it. Rest assured, President Long, I didn't see anything just now, and I'll definitely knock in the future, I won't forget."

Xiaoshan nodded silently, appreciating that the young lady was quite clever and quick-witted, effectively giving him an excuse for their behavior.

He lowered his head and pointed at the report on the computer, "Manager Jin, since little Zhang has something to discuss with you, I will come back later to look at the report."

"Yes, alright," Jin Lian hastily replied.

"Alright, you two carry on," Xiaoshan said as he walked out, passing by Zhang Xuan and patting her shoulder, "Little Zhang, work well, the company won't let you down."

"Yes, President Long, I will definitely do my best."

Zhang Xuan was inwardly overjoyed, realizing that not only was she not going to be fired today, but she might actually benefit from the mishap. As long as she handled the matter well and kept the secret of the boss and the manager's affair, the President would surely treat her as a trusted confidante in the future.
