C26 The Crazy Woman You Are a Mad Womanizer!

"Call you my husband?"

"Pfft, you wish, you scam artist!"

Ann Lan's eyes blazed with fury as she glowered at Lin Chen.

"Fine, don't call me husband. Stay curious then," Lin Chen said with a nonchalant shrug.

"Lanlan, just say it, why don't you?"

"You're legally married after all, and Lin Chen is..."

Sun Lili's curiosity got the better of her, and she nudged Ann Lan, egging her on.

Seeing Ann Lan's displeased look, Sun Lili's face took on a tone of moral conviction.

"Lanlan, think about it. Calling him husband just once could save everyone from being duped. It's a smart trade-off."

Sun Lili certainly had Ann Lan's number.

Ann Lan simply couldn't stand by and watch others get conned.

"Lin Chen, you're playing hardball!"

"Once the truth comes out, I'll expose your charade to everyone!"

Ann Lan hesitated, then finally spat out the words through clenched teeth.

Lin Chen's eyes sparkled at her words, but before he could revel in victory, Qian Duoduo butted in.

"Sis-in-law, you're worried about us getting conned by the boss because you're clueless about how much he made before!"

With Qian Duoduo's interjection, Lin Chen felt an urge to kick him.

This idiot! He was on the verge of getting the madwoman to call him husband, and now this chaos?

And if she found out about the fortune he'd made on the sly, wouldn't she just seize it all?

"Babe, Qian Duoduo here is spouting total nonsense."

"The few million I made before? I've already turned it all over to you."

Lin Chen ignored Qian Duoduo and quickly tried to reassure Ann Lan.

"Hehe, you think I'd fall for your tall tales?"

"Qian Duoduo, spill it. How much did he rake in, and how?"

"If you hide anything, you're out of the company on the spot!"

Ann Lan scoffed, issuing a stern threat to Qian Duoduo.

Qian Duoduo cast a puzzled glance at Lin Chen.

He was baffled – at such a pivotal moment, if Director Ann realized the boss was actually making money...

So, the boss could just put on a show and flex, huh?

"Director Ann, here's the deal: the boss concocted a drug called Spring Medicine."

"Any man who takes it can last two hours in bed."

"We sold over a hundred pills in just one day, netting the boss around five to six million, and each of us pocketed roughly a hundred thousand."

"If you doubt me, feel free to check with the other guys in the security department. They'll back me up."

Lin Chen might keep secrets from Ann Lan, but Qian Duoduo wouldn't dream of hiding anything from his goddess.

Without a second thought, he spilled the beans about the Spring Medicine to Ann Lan.

"Five... five or six million?"

Ann Lan nearly lost her balance and toppled over when she heard the figure Qian Duoduo mentioned.

This guy had been working for just a couple of days and had already raked in that much cash?

If it weren't for the nods of confirmation from the other security guards, Ann Lan would've sworn Qian Duoduo was pulling her leg!

"Thwack!"

Lin Chen gave Qian Duoduo a sharp kick in the rear.

Feeling sheepish, he told Ann Lan, "Honey, don't mind Qian. He's full of it."

"I made just two or three million yesterday, and I was planning to stash it away for some fancy clothes for you."

Stash it away for some fancy clothes for me?

Ann Lan's fury turned to laughter.

This guy didn't even know her size, and he was talking about buying clothes?

"Selling drugs on your own is illegal!"

"To rectify this, you either hand over the formula to me or the cash."

"Make your choice."

Ann Lan, holding back her frustration, spoke icily to Lin Chen.

Before, she might have hesitated to make such a demand.

But now that Lin Chen was aware of the child's real situation, she saw no reason to hold back.

After all, she was doing everything she could to save up for the baby's formula.

"What the hell!"

Lin Chen was inwardly fuming.

The woman must be out of her mind with poverty to try and snatch his modest business.

"So, you want to make money, huh?" he thought.

"Well, I'll oblige. Once I've made a few billion, you'll be paying back those hundred kisses you owe me, slowly but surely!"

After mulling it over, Lin Chen didn't beat around the bush and immediately opted for the several million at his disposal. He wasn't about to play the fool. By handing over the Spring Formula to Ann Lan, he could help her rake in those billions sooner rather than later. Otherwise, knowing her temperament, he'd likely end up with neither the formula nor a penny of the millions.

Shortly after Wang Sheng returned with the medicinal ingredients, Lin Chen got to work on the new product. In no time, a gooey salve took shape in his palm.

"Boss, is that supposed to be a turd?" Qian Duoduo gawked at the dark paste in Lin Chen's hand.

A flicker of irritation crossed Lin Chen's face. He hadn't even settled the previous issue with Qian Duoduo, and here he was, casting doubt on his latest creation. With a cold chuckle, Lin Chen began to shape the paste.

As soon as he molded it into a lump resembling a piece of dough, Qian Duoduo burst into laughter. "Oh man, boss, you've outdone yourself!"

"It actually looks like a turd, I can't stop laughing..."

Before Qian Duoduo could finish, Lin Chen hurled the dough-like salve right at his face, covering it completely, even his mouth.

"If you even try to remove it, I swear I'll break your legs today!" Lin Chen warned as Qian Duoduo reached to peel it off.

"Ugh... Boss, my bad. I shouldn't have laughed at your... creation," Qian Duoduo pleaded, his hands frozen mid-air as he gagged. "Please, let me get this off before I hurl!"

Lin Chen paid him no mind and went back to his preparations. He was confident that once that wild woman witnessed the salve's effects, she'd be clamoring for a piece. And when that moment came, he'd claim a preemptive kiss as retribution for the Spring Medicine debacle.

"Lin Chen, are you done messing around?" Ann Lan's impatience was palpable. "If you're finished, I'll go handle this Spring Medicine business."

Lin Chen, engrossed in his work with the herbs, barely acknowledged Ann Lan's growing irritation.

If making money with this so-called new product were that easy, Ann Lan might as well grab a sack and start picking up cash at the bank.

"Qian, you can go ahead and take off that mess now," Lin Chen said, glancing at Ann Lan before giving Qian Duoduo a nonchalant instruction.

"Finally, I can get this crap off my face," Qian Duoduo sighed in relief.

"Boss, I've got to tell you, after the initial disgust, it actually felt kind of nice—cool and refreshing on my skin," he remarked, sharing his unexpected comfort after peeling off the medicinal plaster.

No sooner had he shared his thoughts than everyone in the room, without exception, fixed their gaze on his face, their eyes wide with astonishment.
