"Of course, you can, we're friends, next ti we et I'll give you an autograph directly."
"Really? That's wonderful. You should go in, Miss Li has been waiting for quite a while."
Ling Zhenfei, hearing Xiao Lan's words, was very surprised. It had just reached the ti he had arranged with Li Yuetong, how could she have been waiting for such a long ti? Why would Li Yuetong take such care for soone as insignificant as himself?
Ling Zhenfei didn't quite understand, but he pushed the door open and entered anyway.
Inside, the room was lavishly decorated, with elegant and traditional adornnts. The furniture was all-encompassing, and at a glance, the decor looked as though it belonged to an ancient wealthy household.
Dining here didn't feel like being in a restaurant, but rather like eating at the ho of a rich family, which was very special.
At that mont, there was only Li Yuetong in the room. She was sitting in a chair, her right hand supporting her cheek as she pondered sothing. The sound of the door closing as Ling Zhenfei entered was what made her aware of his presence.
She glanced at Ling Zhenfei with a trace of embarrassnt on her face, then quickly stood up, "Divine Doctor Ling, you're here, please have a seat."
"Why does everyone keep calling 'Divine Doctor'? My na is Ling Zhenfei," Ling Zhenfei joked as he sat opposite Li Yuetong at the table.
The whole room was decorated in traditional Chinese style, except for this one table which was modern and seed sowhat out of place, like an oddity.
If it were an ancient table, it would definitely be an eight-immortals table, but for two people to dine at such a table seed a bit improper. Ling Zhenfei guessed that this table might have been temporarily arranged by Li Yuetong.
"So what should I call you, Mr. Ling?" Li Yutong asked with so uncertainty, like a little girl afraid of misspeaking.
Ling Zhenfei was a bit startled. Being such a big star, shouldn't she be rather haughty? How could there be a girl like Li Yuetong?
"Mr. Ling, does that make sound old?" Ling Zhenfei saw that Li Yuetong looked a bit displeased and hastened to say, "But it's up to you, really. A na is just a label."
"That's great, then I'll call you Mr. Ling from now on," Li Yuetong finally said with a happy smile.
"And what should I call you, Miss Li or Miss Li?" asked Ling Zhenfei.
"You might as well call Miss Li, it sounds more normal," she replied.
"Alright then, I'll call you Miss Li, thank you for inviting to dinner," Ling Zhenfei expressed his gratitude sincerely.
"Mr. Ling, there's no need for such courtesy with . I am doing this to thank you for saving my life. I know that just inviting you to dinner is not enough, but this is a token of my feelings, and I hope you won't disdain it," Li Yuetong said humbly, appearing very sincere.
As they talked, the dishes began to be served. The variety was ample and each dish was delicately prepared, each with a unique twist. No wonder this restaurant was renowned; it really was extraordinary.
"Mr. Ling, actually, I invited you to dinner today because there is another matter for which I need your help." Li Yuetong poured a glass of red wine for Ling Zhenfei, saying a bit sheepishly.
"It's okay, just tell what's on your mind. As long as I'm capable, I'll definitely help," Ling Zhenfei didn't know what else Li Yuetong had to say.
Li Yuetong said sowhat embarrassingly, "Well, it's like this. I have a good friend who's also in the entertainnt industry, and she's a very famous actress. She and her husband have been married for several years, but they've been unable to conceive a child. As you know, the entertainnt industry is very complex, and now the dia has begun to make a fuss over this issue."
"The dia, huh? They can turn white into black. If this matter really catches attention, then it will certainly affect her career in the entertainnt industry, which is why I am also here to ask you for a prescription on her behalf."
"So, she wants a child. I thought it was sothing serious," Ling Zhenfei didn't think it was a big deal.
Li Yuetong said, "Mr. Lin, you might not know, but for so reason, my friend has secretly seen many doctors over the years. Although she has seen many, none have been able to cure her. That's why I've turned to you for help."
Ling Zhenfei thought about it for a mont and shook his head, saying, "Sorry, but treating this kind of issue isn't necessarily a problem with the woman. It could also be with the man. Moreover, there are many potential complications with this kind of matter. Without seeing the person, it's impossible for just to prescribe sothing on a whim."
"Oh, I see. My friend is really a good person; it's just that this matter has her fretting day and night. I'm genuinely worried about her," Li Yuetong said with a dim expression.
At this mont, Ling Zhenfei seed to have almost understood. It turned out that Li Yuetong's invitation to dinner tonight was not without a more important matter in mind, and that was to get him to help treat her friend.
Ling Zhenfei felt a bit disappointed in his heart. Initially, he had a very good impression of Li Yuetong, but his fondness for her was starting to dwindle. The real purpose behind the dinner invitation wasn't as simple as it seed.
Ling Zhenfei used to consider Li Yuetong as his Goddess, but now that the Goddess was right in front of him, showing her true colors, this was sothing he didn't want to see.
"Treating your friend is, of course, possible, but my fees are very high." Without wanting to spare Li Yuetong's feelings any longer, Ling Zhenfei decided to speak frankly.
"Could I ask, how do you charge?" Li Yuetong asked.
Ling Zhenfei thought about it. He had charged Si Mayang five million, and since people in the entertainnt industry were well-off, there was no reason not to charge them accordingly.
"Five million for one person!" Ling Zhenfei stated calmly.
Li Yuetong's face was full of shock, "That is indeed quite expensive, but if you can really cure her, it's absolutely worth the price."
Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Exactly, I am truly worth that price, and in the future, it's only going to increase, not decrease."
All of a sudden, Li Yuetong seed to have thought of sothing and hastily said, "I'm so sorry, Divine Doctor Ling, you wouldn't misunderstand that I invited you today for my friend's sake, would you? That's absolutely not the case; it just popped into my mind."
Li Yuetong actually denied it outright, but Ling Zhenfei didn't know what to say. Her behavior had already made it apparent. Ling Zhenfei remained silent, waiting to see how Li Yuetong would explain herself.
"You see, ever since I knew you were a doctor, I've always been thinking about friends around who are ill. So, she ca to mind. Please don't misunderstand, I really just invited you for a al today, to thank you for saving my life on the train," Li Yuetong explained.
The explanation left Ling Zhenfei unsure whether to believe her, but looking at Li Yuetong with her innocent face made him feel that perhaps she was telling the truth.
