Chapter 249: The Arrogant Suitor

Seeing the beautiful and flower-like Zhu Yan, Zhou Lang couldn't help but feel moved.

Zhu Yan came from a humble background, but she was also a filial girl. Back then, all the money she earned went to treating her father, Zhu Qingshan. Many excellent men had pursued her, but she had ignored them because she needed to take care of her father.

Besides Zhu Yan's beauty, these qualities of hers were also what Zhou Lang admired.

If it weren't for the fear that Zhu Qingshan and Zhu Yan wouldn't be able to accept the fact that he had many women, he would have really wanted to pursue Zhu Yan. It would definitely make him feel uncomfortable if such a beautiful woman were swept away by another man.

"Brother Lang, have you been waiting long?"

Zhu Yan walked over with light steps, sat down beside Zhou Lang, and asked with a smile.

"I just arrived a few minutes ago." Zhou Lang smelled Zhu Yan's pleasant scent, was slightly stunned for a moment, and then said, "Let's order."

Zhu Yan nodded.

The petite waitress who had been standing on the side immediately took the menu and wine list and handed them to Zhu Yan. This was a high-end restaurant, and the waitstaff there were sharp. She felt that Zhou Lang must be pursuing Zhu Yan and would definitely let her order the food and drinks. Looking at Zhu Yan's attire, she estimated that the bill for the meal would be at least over a thousand yuan, and she would surely get a decent commission.

However, to the waitress's surprise and disappointment, after taking the menu, Zhu Yan only ordered a bottle of red wine and three simple dishes.

"Just order this much? Brother Lang might not be a tycoon, but I'm not short on money."

Zhou Lang laughed. The things Zhu Yan ordered added up to less than three hundred yuan. It was clear that The Beautiful Doctor didn't want to spend his money.

"Brother Lang, you order. All these years, I haven't dared to spend money recklessly," Zhu Yan said with a smile. "Dining is mainly about who you eat with; it's about the state of mind, not what you eat."

The meaning behind her words was very clear: as long as she was with Zhou Lang, anything she ate was fine.

"Then I won't order anything else. A beauty like you is truly easy to support." Zhou Lang smiled and signaled for the waitress to go place the order.

The service at this restaurant was quite good, and the red wine and dishes were served quickly.

"Brother Lang, I am indeed easy to support. How about you support me?"

Zhu Yan continued with Zhou Lang's topic; it was obvious that she was interested in him.

"You are a great beauty. There are so many people in the hospital pursuing you; I wouldn't dare say I'm pursuing you." Zhou Lang was stunned for a moment, then laughed deliberately. "I'm afraid of being mobbed by your hospital staff."

"Brother Lang, you know Acupoint Striking, and you even used True Qi to treat my father. Are you afraid of those suitors of mine?"

Zhu Yan said, "You don't need to lie to me. You seem to have been intentionally distancing yourself from me lately. I sensed it the last time you treated my father."

It had to be said that a girl's intuition was very sharp. Zhu Yan's words left Zhou Lang not knowing how to respond.

"Brother Lang, I have already fallen for you. That night, my father tried to play matchmaker. If I didn't like you, I wouldn't have let you onto my bed, let alone let you give me a massage. Actually, I know that area is already quite large and doesn't need a Breast Enhancement Massage. I did that just to find an excuse to get close to you and deepen our feelings."

Zhu Yan continued, her eyes turning slightly red.

"Zhu Yan, we might not be suitable for each other. I think we should just be friends; that might be better."

Zhou Lang hardened his heart. Although he was a Cultivator, he was not omnipotent. Given that he already had several women, if he wanted to have a new woman, it required Opportunity; it wasn't something he could just have whenever he wanted.

Especially since Zhu Yan's father, Zhu Qingshan, was a very traditional man. If he found out that Zhou Lang had many women, and learned that Zhu Yan would be a mistress to Zhou Lang, what would he think?

Would this old man be angered to death?

Zhou Lang was a kind person and couldn't ignore these realistic problems. Since Zhu Yan had now broken the layer of paper between them, he could only use "not suitable" as an excuse to reject her. It could be called cutting off romantic ties with a sword of wisdom.

It was painful for him to reject such a great beauty as Zhu Yan, but a long pain is worse than a short one. He didn't want to cause a lot of trouble in the future because he and Zhu Yan got together.

"Not suitable? I think it's just that you, Brother Lang, don't like me at all and think I'm not good enough for you, right?"

Zhu Yan's eyes grew even redder. Today, she had taken the initiative to seize the Opportunity to invite Zhou Lang out because she wanted to confess her feelings to him, hoping to date him.

"Zhu Yan, why would you say that?" Zhou Lang said. Looking at Zhu Yan's reddened eyes, he felt his heart soften again.

"Brother Lang, you are very mysterious. I know you are definitely not an ordinary man. Your standards are naturally very high, and you wouldn't like an ordinary girl like me."

Zhu Yan said, her eyes beginning to moisten, and tears seemed to be swirling in them.

"You are a great beauty with a good temperament and are so filial; any man would like you. I didn't intend to distance myself from you, but I don't have plans to settle down yet. However, your father thinks I'm your boyfriend, and I'm worried he will urge me to marry you. That's why I backed off, and that's why I said we weren't suitable."

Zhou Lang said. He took out a tissue and handed it to Zhu Yan. "Don't cry. Let's have a drink." Then he poured two glasses of wine and handed one to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan took the glass and downed the wine in one gulp. Her chest heaved up and down, and she seemed very emotional as she said, "Brother Lang, even if you don't intend to settle down now, I can wait for you. You don't need to distance yourself from me, right?"

"It's not that, I'm just afraid your father will urge me."

Zhou Lang said helplessly. Previously, he only thought Zhu Yan liked him, but now he knew that her feelings for him were very deep, to the point where she was determined to marry no one but him.

"My father is very open-minded; he won't interfere with my love life," Zhu Yan said. "Brother Lang, actually we can try dating now. Anyway, I am quite obedient, and I won't disrupt your life too much."

In the hospital, Zhu Yan was a cold and beautiful woman who wouldn't even glance at the men pursuing her. But in front of Zhou Lang, she was willing to make him the center of her world, which touched Zhou Lang deeply.

Because he was moved, Zhou Lang found it hard to reject Zhu Yan.

Silence filled the private room.

Bang! Suddenly, the door to the private room was kicked open, and a young man dressed in a flashy manner rushed in.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

A waitress from outside hurriedly walked in to stop the young man.

"You, a mere waitress, dare to interfere in my business? Even your boss acts like a grandson when he sees me." The young man slapped the waitress directly in the face.

The young man was sturdy and at least 1.8 meters tall. The force of his slap was not light; the petite waitress was knocked flying, fell to the ground, and was actually knocked unconscious.

"Jin Kelai, what are you doing?"

Zhu Yan stood up in shock and looked at the young man. It seemed she knew him.

"Zhu Yan, I've been pursuing you for this period of time, yet you said you had no interest in men? But I didn't expect that as soon as you got off work, you'd be on a date with this pretty boy. How do you explain this!"

The young man, Jin Kelai, pointed at Zhu Yan with anger on his face.

"Jin Kelai, who I am with doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, right?" Zhu Yan was so angry that her face turned purple.

"Zhu Yan, you are the woman I've set my eyes on, so naturally, you cannot be with other men. This man is also a doctor at your hospital, right?"

Jin Kelai said arrogantly, "If you don't become my woman, not only you, but this pretty boy won't be able to be a doctor for the rest of his life, and he won't even be able to stay in Feiyun City."

"This gentleman, I am eating. Please don't shout nonsense. Whether I can be a doctor or stay in Feiyun City doesn't seem to be something you can decide."

Zhou Lang looked at Jin Kelai with disgust. Although he didn't know exactly what Jin Kelai's status was, he basically already knew what was going on.

"Pretty boy, how dare you talk back to me?"

Jin Kelai was furious. "My dad is the director of the Health Bureau. With just one phone call, your doctor's certificate will be revoked. And I have connections in both the underworld and the legitimate world; I can call people to hack you to death at any time!"

"So you're a second-generation official and also a second-generation underworld figure. However, I'm not afraid of second-generation officials, nor am I afraid of second-generation underworld figures." Zhou Lang said indifferently. "Now I'm telling you, I am Zhu Yan's boyfriend. Don't harass Zhu Yan again in the future."

"You brat, are you worthy of Zhu Yan? Zhu Yan is the woman I've set my eyes on. If you know what's good for you, get lost immediately and never contact Zhu Yan again."

Jin Kelai said arrogantly. He was currently pursuing Zhu Yan, but to be this arrogant as a suitor was truly bizarre.

"And if I don't leave?" Zhou Lang's tone turned cold. "Jin Kelai, don't be too arrogant as a person, lest you regret it later."

"If you don't leave, I'll beat you to death today!"

A fierce look appeared on Jin Kelai's face. He lunged directly at Zhou Lang and kicked at him.

"Brother Lang, watch out."

Seeing Jin Kelai being so fierce, Zhu Yan was scared and hid to the side, while at the same time warning Zhou Lang.

"With his mere amateur skills, he's not enough to run wild in front of me." Zhou Lang laughed.

Jin Kelai actually had some martial arts skills. His kick was swift and powerful, and its momentum could not be underestimated. Of course, this kick only looked powerful in the eyes of ordinary people; in Zhou Lang's eyes, it was not worth mentioning.

Zhou Lang didn't even move from his seat. Only when Jin Kelai's kick reached him did he reach out his hand, grab Jin Kelai's ankle, and then casually push it with a little force.

Jin Kelai instantly flew backward, crashed into the door of the private room, and then fell to the ground.

"Brat, I'll kill you." Jin Kelai climbed up from the ground and pulled out a dagger from his waist.

"Oh, you're using a knife? It seems I need to teach you a lesson." Zhu Yan's expression changed drastically when she saw the gleaming dagger in Jin Kelai's hand, but Zhou Lang remained very calm.

Jin Kelai's movements were fast. The dagger in his hand instantly stabbed to right in front of Zhou Lang. With a simple Qin Na, Zhou Lang grabbed Jin Kelai's wrist.

Crack! A crisp sound rang out; Jin Kelai's wrist was forcibly broken by Zhou Lang.

Clang, the dagger in Jin Kelai's hand fell to the ground.

"Ah!" Jin Kelai screamed, clutching his hand that had been twisted and broken by Zhou Lang, and began rolling on the ground.
