My Wife, The Ice Queen President

Chapter 337: Chapter 0336: Revealing Identity (Three More)_1
 

A man was selling pigs at a market and got caught in the rain after dark. He had twenty unsold pigs, so he sought shelter at a farmer’s house.

The young woman said, “It’s inconvenient with only one person at home.”

Man: “I beg you, big sister, one pig as payment.”

Woman: “Alright, but there’s only one bed in the house.”

Man: “I’ll sleep in the bed too, two pigs as payment.”

Woman: “Agreed.”

In the middle of the night, the man proposed to sleep on top of the woman, but she refused.

Man: “Two pigs for it.”

The woman consented, on the condition that he was not to move once on top.

After a while, the man couldn’t resist the urge and begged to move just a bit, but the woman wouldn’t allow it.

Man: “I’ll give another two pigs if I can move just a little.” The woman agreed.

After moving eight times, the man stopped and the woman asked why he wasn’t moving anymore?

The man said there were no more pigs.

The woman whispered softly, “How about I give you the pigs…”

At dawn, whistling, the man drove off to the market with 30 pigs, including the ten from the young woman’s home.

…

I accidentally saw the joke above, which was the inspiration for the last chapter.

But back to the main story.

That night, just as Ye Xiong started his shift, Xia Xiaoyou told him that it was his last night shift and he would switch to the day shift the next day.

Ye Xiong called Head Nurse Chang Mei and lied to her, saying there was a family matter these few days and asked if he could continue with the night shifts for a little longer.

Not many people liked the night shift, so it was relatively easy to make the switch.

Ye Xiong kept working the night shift from twelve midnight to eight in the morning.

Since confessing to Duanmu Linglong, to his surprise, Linglong hadn’t troubled him at all.

The time quickly came for the shift change in the evening.

Upon returning to the inpatient building, Ye Xiong discovered that Duanmu Linglong was still in her office and hadn’t left.

It was already twelve midnight, what was she still doing here?

Because the Deputy Director rarely appeared in the office, all medical personnel, including nurses and doctors, were extremely nervous and didn’t dare to breathe loudly.

Ye Xiong pondered for a moment, then walked in.

Upon seeing Ye Xiong enter, Duanmu Linglong looked up at him, stood up, and said, “Chen Yang, come to my office for a moment.”

So it seemed she was here specifically to see him.

After the two had left, whispers immediately spread throughout the office.

“What do you think the Deputy Director wants with Chen Yang?”

“Could it be they are dating?”

“Nonsense, would the Deputy Director fall for a male nurse?”

“What’s wrong with a male nurse? I think Chen Yang is pretty good, handsome, responsible, and though not wealthy, not every man is born with a ‘Golden Key’.”

“I guess that for a woman like the Deputy Director, the richer and more cultured men are, the harder it is to catch her interest. On the other hand, a member of a lower status, a small-time employee, might catch her ‘Dharma Eye’. Don’t those internet novels often write about how some rich female CEOs get swept off their feet by poor, unattractive guys?”

“Idiot, you believe those internet novels?”

…

Ye Xiong followed Duanmu Linglong to her office.

On the inpatient side, there was an office for her, where she sometimes took breaks during ward rounds.

“Close the door,” Linglong commanded.

Ye Xiong closed the door and even locked it, which made Linglong pause for a moment.

“Deputy Director, calling me here so late at night, could it be that you’ve agreed to be my girlfriend?” Ye Xiong sat down in the chair in front of her, smiling.

Linglong did not speak, a look of disappointment and even a bit of anger appeared on her face.

Slap!

She picked up a folder beside her and threw it in front of Ye Xiong.

“The ID is fake, the diploma is fake, the home address is fake, all the information about you is fake. I want to know what exactly you are up to, what your purpose is. If you don’t tell the truth, I will make sure you can’t leave this office,” Duanmu Linglong said excitedly.

After that tea drinking session, Duanmu Linglong had someone investigate this man named Chen Yang in secret. When she learned the truth, she was completely stunned.

It couldn’t be said that she had fallen for this man, but it had to be said, he was the first man to invade her thoughts, the first man she reminisced about at night before falling asleep.

His appearance, his demeanor, the way he carried himself in her presence, neither servile nor overbearing.

Normally, he was like a pond in autumn, unthreatening, but when faced with an emergency, his domineering presence was suffocating.

That day, Ye Xiong confessed to her, saying he became a male nurse at the hospital just to see her, to be close to her. Although she blew up at him on the spot, she spent the entire next day in a very strange state.

She lost her appetite, she was distracted, she lacked motivation in everything she did. When she randomly searched these symptoms on Baidu, two words popped up: the feeling of being in love.

Nonsense about being in love.

She slammed the table right then and there. They had met only a few times, how could she possibly feel in love?

When she found out that everything about Ye Xiong was a lie, she was heartbroken all day, not knowing whether she was angry or sad.

So, she came to the hospital ward to get to the bottom of it.

Ye Xiong picked up the folder on the desk, casually flipped through it.

Even without looking, he knew what was inside.

“I’m sorry, I lied to you.”

Duanmu Linglong wiped a tear from her eye.

She had never been deceived like this before.

“Why?” she asked coldly.

With things having come to this point, Ye Xiong didn’t want to keep hiding the truth from her and couldn’t have kept it hidden even if he wanted to. He even harbored some hope, hoping that Duanmu Linglong was the kind of woman who understood the greater good and the principles involved.

“I am from the National Security Bureau. Your father is suspected of involvement in a terrorist event, and I came here to investigate him.”

“Impossible, my father is not that kind of person.”

Duanmu Linglong stood up abruptly, saying excitedly, “You must be lying to me. Don’t think I’ll believe your tall tales. State your real purpose, or don’t blame me for being rude.”

Slap!

Ye Xiong threw a booklet in front of her.

On the cover of the booklet, three golden characters read: National Security Agent.

This booklet was issued to Ye Xiong by Long Zaitian during his last visit to Capital City. Ye Xiong needed such a booklet to investigate the Beast Organization, as it could prove his identity and, in critical moments, he could even mobilize the police force of an entire city.

Although Ye Xiong never admitted to being from the National Security Bureau, he accepted it nevertheless.

After all, it was a powerful proof of identity.

Duanmu Linglong took the booklet, glanced at it, and slumped into a chair.

“Impossible, you must be an impersonator.”

“If you think this badge is a fake, then I have nothing more to say. Now, I’m afraid I’ll have to inconvenience you a bit.”

“What do you want to do?” Duanmu Linglong’s complexion changed drastically.

Ye Xiong didn’t say a word and reached out, preparing to subdue her.

At this critical moment, he absolutely could not allow any mishaps.

But unexpectedly, when he reached out to grab her, he caught nothing but air.

Duanmu Linglong turned her body, not only avoiding his grasp but also ramming her elbow hard into Ye Xiong’s chest.

She knew martial arts.

Such sneak attacks might have been effective against an average expert, but against Ye Xiong, they were futile.

With a simple grasp, he locked her arm, gently twisted it, and bent it behind her back, at the same time pressing her onto the desk.

“Let me go…”

“I’m sorry.”

Ye Xiong’s palm hit the back of her head, knocking her out cold.
