Chapter 39 - 39.... ruthless...

The doctor asked him some questions and he mechanically answered them as he, out of pure boredom, took a look at the people who were inside the living room.

There were 3 people excluding the middle-aged man in front of him, 2 of whom were in nurse uniform; a man in who seemed to be in his late twenties and had a serious face, he seemed like a professional in his job and also a woman who was in her early twenties who he deemed annoying with just a look, she was a blushing mess as she took some unusual glances at his own face and body, lust evident in them, though he wasn't uncomfortable with her gaze as he was used to such women, nonetheless, he was irked.

His mood darkened because of this, but there wasn't a single crack in his cold face because of that as he felt it was too low for him to react to such situations.

Well, that was until he laid his eyes on the last person, who was there standing to the right of the doctor, he happened to be a man. He had a good-looking face with gentle features, which made him seem aproachable, of course not as handsome as Qin ZiXuan, is that even possible?

[..I'm a doting mother...haha(scratches her head)]

He seemed to be in his late twenties which was a young age for a doctor, well, for him to be here meant that he must be excelent in his field, so, ordinarly Qin ZiXuan would have been impressed by him but the situation this time was not 'ordinary' as only then did Qin ZiXuan notice that, that guy kept glancing at his Meilin, well, he made it seem natural but when it came to Qin ZiXuan, who was someone with a max. level experience certificate in this naturally-taking-peeks thing, how could he not know what that bug was doing?

'This irritating bug..'

His mood darkened as his eyes turned cold, his dark aura spread throughout the room as the ones present in there felt suffocated, suppressed and threatened to life.

The young man, who was the target of his fury, felt a shiver down his spine and took a look at the source of this.

That was a mistake...

Just a peek and his body was drenched in cold sweat as he almost jerked up when he felt the killing intent of the man at it's full display, he immediately drooped his head down and didn't dare to take another glance at anything but the floor, as if, it was the most interesting thing in the world.

Only one question remained in his head, 'What did I do?'

The young nurse who was bashfully taking glances at her Prince Charming for some time now was also shivering no- shaking from this sudden display of his anger.

Her knees almost gave up but she didn't dare move an inch, she was just too scared to even breathe visibly.

Her bubble burst open and she was slapped by reality; she woke up from her dream of having him.

Her face went pale from the first-hand experience of the meaning of his title in the upper echleons of the business world as, the Demon.

She forgot all her thoughts from a while ago and all she now wanted was to shrink her existence into nothingness until the storm passed.

Who cares about 'feelings'?

This man was a demon, he was attractive beyond heavens, no doubt about it, but that was just the exterior.

If he wanted to, he can one-handedly destroy the lives of some 'old money' in the country, in comparison to them she was just a fly; she was too attracted by his beauty and the demure(?), helpless act he had in front of 'that' woman, that she momentarily forgot all about this, she cursed herself a thousand times in her head.

All she wanted was to keep her head over her shoulder for the time being and this heavily paid job for the future ba!.

No matter how handsome he looked, he was still a Qin and the known Demon of Bussiness world in C-Country.

So many companies, big and small, understimated him and ridiculed him when he took over the empire, saying he was too young and that he was wet behind the ears, but after he took over, his outstanding achievements took the Qin to a whole new level of 'success' and the ones who had ridiculed him were either uprooted from the market, going bankrupt or else, were now slaving there way to keep what little he left them to survive; he was ruthless and cold-blooded when it came to business and people who understimated him.

His action and achievement spoke for his eligibility to take the throne while his ruthlessness spoke for the power he held and controlled; it hasn't been a year since he took over the office but the respect he has earned from the younger and older generation alike, is not something to laugh at, there is no one left in the industry who disrespected him for his young age or so-called 'inexperience'; the rising stocks, the turnover rate of the year, the accomplishments he has gained in just a year only instilled fear in his contemporaries now.

The last thing you want to do, when you get into business in C-country, is to never undermine him or get into his bad books, as that is beyond a horrible mistake, it is a sin... or so, some rumors went, well, it is not entirely false.

Only the other nurse, who had a serious face since the start appeared unfazed by this, well, that is until you see the layer of sweat he had in his forehead and his sweating clenched palms.

Even old foxes in his line of work were suppressed by his momentum, what was he?

Still, it was commendable that he didn't show it in his face and whole-heartedly assisted the old-man.

The old Doc who has been on the edge since he started asking questions to this intimidating prince, almost instantly saw the fluctuation in his eyes and emotions as the temperature in the room dropped by some degrees because of it, he was sweating buckets as he thought of what he did to irk this tycoon, he was almost on the verge of tears, though his face remained calm due to years of experience.

He was a military doctor to begin with and had become the family doctor of the Qin Family after his father who was previously in the position passed it to him due to his deterioting health.

He for a matter has taken care of trained militants and even the legendary Qin Mo, still, the only time he felt like this was when he faced this young man, half-his-age.

He knew for a while now that the man has a weaker constitution compared to men his age and for soem reasons had a deep-rooted hatred for hospitals and doctors alike, and maybe that was the reason for his blank face and cold voice when he spoke with him but he never disrespected him, he may not be polite but his words also never offended anyone and as a doctor, he has seen many peculiar cases so, he too had ignored his attitude and but of course he always stayed on alert when with him.

This young man gave him a different kind of pressure, it was something that he didn't feel even when doing the hardest of the operations or surgeries, it ws like he was always held on the edge of a cliff, one mistake and he would be pushed down.

Still, this was the first time he saw him like this and also the first time he felt so weak and powerless.

Just the aura of the young man was enough for him to cower away, he didn't know what went wrong because just a moment ago he was still getting his usual mechanical answers but then suddenly, he was pushed into a blizzard.

He timidly took a look at the man, only to see him glaring at his apprentice, he didn't know what went wrong for him to act like this.

Before the world turned white due to the icy cold air, a smooth voice broke the ice,

"XuanXuan?"
