My husband Can Cultivate-Chapter 290: That’s just too belittling!

"Mr. Yuan, rest assured," Master Chen said, his eyes half-closed, exuding the demeanor of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. "Since we've accepted your payment, we will naturally follow the rules."

Su Cha remained silent, but the arrogance on his face clearly displayed his confidence.

Hiring these two had cost Yuan Cheng a pretty penny, but he didn't mind. In this day and age, he knew that being strong on his own wasn't enough. He needed to find even stronger people to cooperate with.

After a full ten minutes, Yuan Cheng was growing impatient. "Where is Li Qingyan? Ji Sheng, do you have any idea what will happen if you're playing me for a fool?"

"Brother Yuan, what if that woman hired some experts to help her?" Ji Sheng said worriedly. "I'm sure she'll come. I can guarantee it. If worse comes to worst, we can just send her the picture of my mother. The problem is, I'm afraid she'll use her status as a daughter of the Hong Clan to find help."

"What's there to fear? With Master Chen and Su Cha here, it doesn't matter who she brings," Yuan Cheng said confidently. "Besides, you still have me, don't you?"

"Alright, I'll call and hurry her along!" Ji Sheng said.

Meanwhile, Yang Qi pulled up to Li Qingyan's home in his Mercedes. Though he was wealthy enough to buy a new car, he couldn't be bothered to switch. To him, a car was just a mode of transportation; he felt no need to show off.

"What should we eat tonight? After we're done with this, I'll treat you to a late-night snack," Yang Qi said with a smile, trying to ease the tension he saw on Li Qingyan's face.

"If we make it back safely, I'll treat you to a grand feast," Li Qingyan sighed. "There's still time to back out, you know."

"Back out? Why would I do that?" Yang Qi shook his head. "Get in the car. Those guys are probably getting impatient."

Seeing Yang Qi's confidence, Li Qingyan suddenly recalled the incident at the Tian Nan Martial Arts Hall. Perhaps Yang Qi was far more formidable than she had imagined. What was she so worried about?

"That's more like it. Try to relax. We're going to solve a problem today, so we can't afford to lose our nerve," Yang Qi chuckled, stepping on the gas and speeding toward the Blue Moon Club.

「In the private room.」

"Ji Sheng, did you call her? My time is valuable!" Yuan Cheng said coldly. "Don't tell me that woman got scared and isn't coming."

"Don't worry, Brother Yuan. I've already called her. She's on her way," Ji Sheng replied, nodding and bowing.

"That's more like it. This woman has some guts, a true daughter of the Hong Clan," Yuan Cheng smiled. The wait no longer bothered him, as long as he got to see the beauty.

"Ji Sheng, if we manage to have Li Qingyan tonight, you'll be my brother," Yuan Cheng said with a smile, looking at Ji Sheng. "From now on, I'll have your back no matter what."

"Thank you, Brother Yuan! Thank you! You go first, then the experts can have their turn, and I'll be last. I want a taste of that 'swan meat' too!" Ji Sheng said excitedly. "That woman is incredibly arrogant, always has been. If we can tame her today, what a sense of accomplishment that would be!"

"Hahaha, you don't mind getting her after us?" Yuan Cheng burst into laughter. He had long heard of Li Qingyan's beauty. Hopefully, she wouldn't be a disappointment.

"Not at all! As long as you're satisfied, Brother Yuan, that's all that matters!" Ji Sheng said with a laugh.

CREAK! The door to the private room was pushed open, and Li Qingyan walked in.

The moment Yuan Cheng saw her, he was stunned. She truly was extraordinary, a perfect blend of beauty and elegance. This time, he'd really hit the jackpot.

Li Qingyan mustered her courage. With Yang Qi right behind her, what did she have to fear? "So you're Yuan Cheng? Planning to have your way with me? You'd better see if you have what it takes!"

"Yang Qi!" Yuan Cheng's eyes landed on Yang Qi. He frowned, but then a smile spread across his face. "So this is the expert you hired? You can't be serious. You don't actually expect this guy to get you out of here, do you?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Li Qingyan sat down calmly, and Yang Qi took a seat beside her. He casually pulled out his phone and started scrolling, chewing on a piece of gum as if today's affair had nothing to do with him.

"Yuan Cheng, I'm warning you. Release my nanny immediately. Otherwise, this place will be your grave," Li Qingyan said coldly. "And you, Ji Sheng, you animal! To think you'd even use your own mother. Do you have any humanity left?"

"Cut the crap!" Ji Sheng retorted. "You wanted Brother Yuan to go easy on the Qifei Group, right? Simple. Serve Brother Yuan well, and he'll naturally be accommodating. Otherwise, my mom will be killed for sure!"

"You're utterly shameless!" Li Qingyan trembled with rage. This Ji Sheng has gone completely mad.

"There's no need to waste any more words on them." Yang Qi stood up and delivered a swift kick to Ji Sheng's chin, dislocating his jaw. He then looked at Yuan Cheng. "Listen, grandson. Instead of bullying a woman, why don't you fight me like a man? I haven't forgotten what happened at the Treasure Contest. Those wastes of space you have with you won't cut it. You'll have to handle this yourself!"

When Master Chen and Su Cha heard this, they were instantly enraged. This was a direct provocation. Yang Qi was provoking them, simply courting death.

"Arrogant whelp!" The first to speak was Su Cha. He spoke the Dragon Country language quite fluently. Though his intonation was a little off, his meaning was perfectly clear. "How dare you be so insolent before a Muay Thai Grandmaster. I see you no longer wish to live!"

Su Cha couldn't see anything remarkable about Yang Qi, who carried none of the aura of an expert. He looked just like an ordinary person.

"Get out here and fight me!" Su Cha challenged.

Yuan Cheng glanced at Li Qingyan indifferently. "Woman, you've got some nerve. I didn't expect the kid you brought to be even more arrogant. You'll be crying soon enough. Let me make this clear: if he loses, you're sleeping with me!"

Then, he turned to Yang Qi. "Kid, it's not too late to get on your knees and admit defeat. There won't be a chance to surrender later."

However, Yang Qi acted as if he hadn't heard a word. He looked at Li Qingyan and said, "So, just to be clear, once I've handled this, you're buying me dinner, right?"

"No problem. I'll call and arrange it right now." Li Qingyan actually took out her phone and started making arrangements.

The faces of Yuan Cheng and his men turned utterly foul. Such contempt! They were being completely ignored.

"Oh, right. I forgot to ask what you want to eat," Li Qingyan asked, as if no one else was in the room.

"Hm, let's do something a little different today," Yang Qi smiled. "How about barbecue? I haven't had it in ages."

"Alright," Li Qingyan nodded and continued with her call.

The air in the room suddenly fell silent, a dead quiet.

After a long moment, Yuan Cheng finally kicked the table over, roaring, "You bastards! This is too much! You're showing us no respect at all! Daring to arrange your late-night meal right in front of me? I'll make sure neither of you leaves this place today!"

Yuan Cheng was a prideful man. His face turned ashen from such blatant disrespect.
