Villain Young Master Doesn't Want to Fall in Love with the Cute Domineering Female Lead

If the father of this brat knew what Wu Liang was like now, he probably wouldn't have ignored him so easily.

"We'll talk about these things after you come back. My Doctor Li."

Wu Liang pulled an invitation from his pocket and handed it to Li Hua. He knew how much Li Hua had sacrificed to return this time.

The international paper competition that Li Hua had been preparing for for years absolutely couldn't be ruined due to his personal reasons.

"This... this is..."

Li Hua was slightly stunned when he saw the black envelope in Wu Liang's hand.

When he opened the letter and saw the seal of the International Medical Organization, Li Hua's eyes widened, and he stared at Wu Liang in disbelief.

"I can't let our ace physician miss the lecture he's been longing for."

"Although I can't postpone the start of the lecture for you, it's easy enough for me to arrange for you to join mid-way as a special guest."

Wu Liang handed Li Hua the card that represented his status.

Ever since he learned that Li Hua had canceled the competition he'd been preparing for years to return to Yanghai City, he had asked someone to handle this matter with the International Medical Organization.

Although Wu Liang couldn't postpone the competition, he could arrange for Li Hua to join the closed-door competition as the highest-ranking scholar.

"Wu Liang... you didn't have to go this far..."

Li Hua said helplessly, gripping the identity card in his hand. He knew how heavy this card was.

Keep in mind that the lecture competition was completely closed-door. Once the competition began, no one was allowed to enter the venue again.

If a physician couldn't make it, they would have to wait another five years. Even if he had considerable influence in the medical field, he had no right to join the academic debate mid-way.

"It's because of me that you returned to Yanghai City, and I know how much this competition means to you."

"So I can't let you miss this opportunity for nothing. If my old man found out, he'd probably scold me to death."

Wu Liang patted Li Hua's shoulder and said in a deep voice. He couldn't let Li Hua lose this chance.

Because he clearly remembered that Li Hua had shone brightly at this lecture, thus becoming one of the most influential physicians in the history of Chinese and foreign medicine.

"If your father knew how much you've changed, he'd probably be so surprised he couldn't speak."

"He might even doubt if you're really his son. I never thought the former delinquent Wu Liang would completely disappear."

Li Hua let out a wry smile.

Wu Liang's transformation shocked him. It was hard to connect the polite gentleman before him with the delinquent Wu Liang he used to know.

"Doctor Li Hua, you should go rest now. My private jet departs punctually at six tomorrow morning."

"I know you have many questions about my current self, but explaining it all would take a long time."

Wu Liang waved to Yao Shi beside him.

But upon seeing Yao Shi's somewhat pale complexion, he felt a sense of confusion.

Yao Shi didn't look well. He had also overheard Yao Shi and He Xue exchanging words earlier.

Had these two said something while he was away? Why did Yao Shi look so upset?

"Alright, then I look forward to our next meeting."

"I'll come find you right after this lecture ends. You better give me a good explanation of how you saw the light."

Li Hua stretched his body vigorously, looking at Wu Liang with a smile.

The former delinquent had grown up, but his mischievous nature seemed unchanged.

Seriously, you're already 17, an adult, and you still like wearing these bizarre KFC bucket hats.

"The Wu family always welcomes Doctor Li Hua as a guest."

Wu Liang smiled warmly. His second objective had also been achieved.

Gaining Li Hua's approval would undoubtedly be of great benefit to him.

After all, Li Hua had a very good relationship with his father. When he talked to his father in the future, Doctor Li would be his best helper...

Chapter 33: The Panicked Iceberg

"Doctor Li Hua, I'll take you to your arranged accommodation."

Yao Shi quickly walked to Li Hua's side, her usual calmness gone from her face.

Her eyes darted away from Wu Liang, as Yao Shi didn't want him to see her flustered state.

"Uh, okay."

Li Hua looked at Yao Shi with some confusion, then shifted his gaze to the girl with her head bowed behind him.

Had something happened between these two? Why did they both look so strange?

"You don't look well. What happened?"

But the moment Wu Liang's hand landed on Yao Shi's shoulder.

He suddenly felt his hand empty. He saw a flash of silver light and a sharp silver hairpin was pressed against his throat.

"Ah... no... it's not like that..."

After realizing she had committed an unforgivable mistake, Yao Shi's face instantly turned pale, and intense panic and fear welled up in her clear, water-like beautiful eyes.

As if afraid of something, Yao Shi quickly put away the hairpin in her hand and retreated.

Unable to explain, Yao Shi was flustered and helpless, like an abandoned child.

"I'm feeling a bit unwell... Please have someone else escort Doctor Li Hua to the hotel..."

Upon meeting Wu Liang's shocked gaze, Yao Shi felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if pricked by needles.

As if fleeing, Yao Shi turned and ran from the scene.

Before anyone could even react, Yao Shi had already disappeared down the corridor.

"..."

Wu Liang touched his throat, looking at his finger stained with a trace of blood.

This was the first time he had seen Yao Shi wear such an expression, an aura as cold as a corpse, making her feel suddenly very unfamiliar.

Setting aside why Yao Shi had suddenly changed like this, her previous fluid counterattack alone was worth deep thought.

Yao Shi was just a 19-year-old girl, and Wu Liang had never heard of their maid learning martial arts.

Moreover, Yao Shi's previous movements were not stiff; they weren't the showy techniques learned from a martial arts class.

Those sharp, swift movements seemed more like instinct. Yao Shi's counterattack was aimed at a fatal blow.

If Yao Shi hadn't held back at the last moment, his throat would have likely been pierced by the silver hairpin she held.

"Hey... are you okay, kid..."

Li Hua, who had witnessed everything, gently patted Wu Liang's shoulder.

He couldn't understand why Yao Shi had such a strong reaction, he hadn't even seen how she produced the jade hairpin.

At this distance, he couldn't even see Yao Shi's movements clearly. Was that girl truly just a maid?

"Yeah, I'm fine. She's just upset with me."

"Doctor Li Hua, please take the two bodyguards in the corridor with you. I don't think I can stay here with you any longer."

Wu Liang scratched his cheek and smiled faintly.

Although he didn't know what had happened to Yao Shi, he couldn't just stand by.

"Heh, if you're worried about her, just say so. Stop playing mysterious."

"Hurry up and chase after her, just in case something happens."

Li Hua gave Wu Liang a knowing look. Yao Shi wouldn't normally show such an expression.

He guessed something must have happened between Yao Shi and that girl. Sigh, teenage girls were so troublesome.

"Mr. He Feng, you can visit Mr. He Jingao once the medical staff have transferred him to the ward."

"Until then, you'll have to wait here for a moment. I have some other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you."

Wu Liang briefly arranged things for He Feng. Seeing He Xue's face full of guilt made him feel a bit of a headache.

What had He Xue said to Yao Shi to provoke such a strong reaction?

"Mr. KFC, Miss Shi is like this because of me..."

He Xue felt a bit flustered. She hadn't expected Miss Shi to get angry over such a remark.

She had only wanted to understand the relationship between Miss Shi and Mr. KFC a little better.

It was her fault. If she hadn't joked around, this wouldn't have happened.

"It's fine. She's not the type of woman to throw a tantrum over something like that."

Wu Liang couldn't think of anything comforting to say to He Xue at the moment.

He knew He Xue wasn't one to speak carelessly. Yao Shi's change in demeanor was likely due to her own issues.

"I'm going to go take a look. You stay here with your grandfather for now."

Wu Liang reached out and ruffled He Xue's hair, only letting go after her hair was a mess.

Looking at He Xue's disheveled hair, Wu Liang found it amusing.

The female protagonist in the game was like a toy in his hands. This feeling was inexplicably satisfying.

"Please apologize to Miss Shi for me. If possible, I'd like to apologize in person."

He Xue said, covering her head, her face flushed. It was the first time a boy her age had treated her like this, but she didn't dislike the feeling.

To be precise, she didn't dislike how Mr. KFC treated her. It was strange, but it was the first time she had felt such a sense of dependence on a male.

They hadn't met many times, yet she felt a special connection, as if he had always been by her side, so familiar.

"I will."

Wu Liang smiled calmly and then headed in the direction Yao Shi had left.

It was impossible for him not to care about Yao Shi. After all, in the game, Yao Shi's character was always a maid who remained calm no matter what happened.

But now, Yao Shi's character was clearly different from what he knew, which made Wu Liang even more curious about her.

He suddenly wanted to understand his maid better. What other secrets was she hiding?

"This stinking brat..."

Li Hua cursed as he watched Wu Liang's retreating back.

It seemed he had underestimated the brat. He hadn't expected this little guy to be such a seasoned player in matters of the heart.

Before he knew it, he had attracted Yao Shi and that young girl named He Xue. Didn't the brat have any self-awareness?

And why did that brat still look so oblivious? Was that kid a block of wood?

..

Yao Shi stumbled out onto the street. Her pretty face and alluring work attire drew the attention of many men around her.

The passersby felt a pang of sympathy seeing Yao Shi in such a dejected state. Among them were men who considered themselves gentlemen, wanting to approach and strike up a conversation.

"Hey there? Beautiful lady, are you heartbroken? How about we guys keep you company?"

Five or six ruffians suddenly stopped in front of Yao Shi, grinning.

When they saw Yao Shi's delicate face, which was like a fairy from a painting, they couldn't help but swallow.

Their gazes gradually shifted to Yao Shi's voluptuous and alluring figure, thinking... today was their lucky day...
