She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 196 (Extra): Chen Zhiyue
Chen Zhiyue first met Leng Yunfeng at a medical aid event held in the capital of G country. She was a member of the Chinese delegation, and he was sitting below her.

That wasn't the first time she'd seen him, but it was the first time she'd seen him up close.

His ascetic expression and stunning figure left a deep impression on her.

She saw him again because she knew the Leng family was anxiously trying to find him a blind date, and she didn't seem to be very opposed to it.

"Where have we met before, right?"

"Sigh~"

Leng Yunfeng's sudden stop and unexpected turn.

Chen Zhiyue followed behind with her head down, bumping into his chest. A refreshing and pleasant fragrance, with a hint of cedar, instantly filled her nose.

"Sorry!" they both said almost simultaneously.

Chen Zhiyue quickly took a step back. Of course, if it weren't for so many eyes watching, she wouldn't mind hugging for a while longer. She felt that she liked this issue.

Leng Yunfeng was also slightly taken aback.

The woman's soft body, the brief touch, and the faint scent of gardenias momentarily stunned him, but he quickly regained his composure.

"fine."

Chen Zhiyue shook her head, quickly composed herself, and regained her composure as if the awkward moment had never happened.

Leng Yunfeng watched her ability to quickly switch between states, a barely perceptible hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

His gaze fell on her face again, with a more certain inquiry:

“I remember seeing Ms. Chen somewhere before. At the end of last year, you were a member of the Chinese delegation to the medical assistance event held in the capital of Country G, and you gave a keynote speech on the innovation of battlefield emergency medical technology, right?”

Chen Zhiyue had never really thought that he had paid attention to her. Of course, she thought it wouldn't be surprising if he remembered her because of her looks!

"Of course, Ms. Chen is very professional."

"Oh, is that so? I thought it was my beauty that attracted you."

"Cough cough..."

Leng Yunfeng clearly hadn't expected her to ask that.

This girl is so bold; she's completely different from his sister-in-law.

"Of course, but Miss Chen's expertise is equally impressive."

The two exchanged a smile, only to unexpectedly stumble upon his younger brother and sister-in-law being intimate in the kitchen.

She suddenly felt like teasing the man in front of her.

"Darling diplomat, are you like this too?"

"what?"

After Leng Yunfeng finished speaking, he dragged the person to a secluded place and pinned them against the wall.

He leaned close to her ear, his deep voice saying, "Dr. Chen, would you like to give it a try?"

Chen Zhiyue truly hadn't expected this man to be so bold. Suddenly intrigued, a faint smile played on her lips as she slowly raised her hand, moving it from his eyes and mouth before finally stopping at his Adam's apple.

Leng Yunfeng's eyes suddenly darkened, and his Adam's apple bobbed involuntarily under her fingertips.

He truly hadn't expected that Dr. Chen, who seemed so calm and composed, would retaliate in such a way... subtly and effortlessly.

Leng Yunfeng's gaze met Chen Zhiyue's, and a flicker of emotion clearly crossed his peach blossom eyes.

"The Cold-Hearted Diplomat~~"

The man looked down at her.

The woman wore a beige low-cut sweater over a fitted trench coat, which showed off her curvaceous figure.

I didn't get a good look while I was outside, but I'm taking a closer look now. Her long, black, wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She had a classic oval face, delicate features, and captivating fox-like eyes. Every smile and gesture exuded charm and allure.

This beauty is completely different from Liu Jingyi.

Chen Zhiyue possesses a cold and alluring charm, with a captivating and seductive quality.

She also possessed the charm of a mature woman, and her professionalism added to her appeal. He suddenly wondered if she thought this way about everyone without thinking before blurting it out.

"Dr. Chen, do you treat every man like this?"

Leng Yunfeng's voice was deep and pleasant, with an indescribable magnetic quality.

Chen Zhiyue narrowed her eyes slightly, "Are you concerned about me? Or...?"

Her lips curled into a half-smile, and her tone carried a hint of nonchalance.

Leng Yunfeng's gaze lingered on the woman; she was wild enough! He liked it!
The man moved even closer, his warm breath almost brushing against her earlobe, his voice lower and more dangerously seductive, "What do you think?"

Chen Zhiyue's heart pounded like a drum, but she tried her best to remain calm. She tilted her head slightly, her eyes carrying a hint of provocation: "Aren't diplomats best at... communication and exploration? What, you're allowed to test me, but I'm not allowed to... be curious?"

Her fingertips were still gently touching his Adam's apple, the sensation clear and burning.

Leng Yunfeng chuckled softly, his voice incredibly magnetic.

He suddenly reached out and gently grasped her "misbehaving" wrist. The force was light, but enough to render her unable to move.

Curiosity is a good thing.

His gaze was fixed, like a falcon locking onto its target. "But some explorations may require a little... price to pay."

His thumb lightly brushed against the inside of her delicate wrist, sending a slight shiver through her.

Chen Zhiyue felt the temperature of her cheeks rising, but her competitive spirit and an unprecedented sense of excitement made her unwilling to admit defeat.

She met his gaze without flinching: "Oh? What kind of price? Are you trying to... negotiate with me?"

"Negotiations require leverage."

Leng Yunfeng's gaze slowly moved from her eyes to her lips, lingered for a moment, and then returned to her eyes. "What does Dr. Chen intend to use as a bargaining chip?"

The two were so close they could almost feel each other's body heat, and a tension that seemed ready to erupt at any moment filled the air.

"Cough cough cough~~"

The newcomer coughed twice, startling not only the two people in the kitchen but also Chen Zhiyue.

"Diplomats are different; I look forward to meeting them again."

Leng Yunfeng looked at the woman in front of him and spoke as well.
"Dr. Chen looks very different too!"

"of course."

At the dinner table, Chen Zhiyue didn't eat much, and Leng Yunfeng's gaze kept falling on her.

Ms. Liu lingered between her eldest son and Chen Zhiyue.

"Mom, the food will get cold if we don't eat soon."

Leng Yunfeng stopped his mother's scrutinizing gaze in time.

"Who's looking at you, Zhiyue? You're eating, but I don't even know what you like to eat?"

"Auntie, you're too kind!"

Liu Jingyi sat down next to Chen Zhiyue, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.
"Sister-in-law, you're amazing!"

Chen Zhiyue looked at her in surprise, then glanced at the man beside her.

Do you think I've succeeded?

"of course."
