Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law Chapter 184 - 183: Eating

How could Lu Shuangyue be so crazy? Why hadn't I ever noticed before?

Ninety kiloters per hour. The speed was still climbing, fast approaching one hundred kiloters per hour. Liu Ergou was terrified, gripping the car's handle for dear life. Although he possessed dical skills that were nothing short of miraculous, the old saying held true: healers can't heal themselves.

Even with an indestructible body, I probably wouldn't survive a high-speed crash.

The more Liu Ergou thought about it, the more frightened he beca. He desperately wanted to tell Lu Shuangyue to slow down, but the intense G-force pinned him back, making it impossible to even open his mouth. As for Lu Shuangyue, her beautiful eyes sparkled with excitent, without a single trace of fear.

The car continued to speed along for so ti before finally screeching to a halt in a parking lot.

"Er Gou, we're in the county town!" Lu Shuangyue announced cheerfully.

By now, the high-speed ordeal had left Liu Ergou's face deathly pale. Hearing they had arrived, he hastily threw open the car door and stumbled outside. The mont his feet touched the ground, a reassuring sense of solid earth washed over him, and he let out a long sigh of relief.

That was absolutely terrifying.

While Liu Ergou was composing himself, Lu Shuangyue got out of the car, stood on her tiptoes, and wrapped an arm around his shoulders, pulling him in a new direction.

"Look at you, a grown man getting scared by sothing like this," she teased as they walked. "I wasn't even going at top speed! Co on, stop being scared. I'll take you out to eat. The drive to the city is just too long for to bear, so I brought you to the county instead! Let's go! A three-star Michelin restaurant is waiting for us!"

With that, she began dragging the still-shaken Liu Ergou toward the restaurant.

They soon arrived at the Michelin restaurant. Being a starred establishnt, reservations were required. However, Lu Shuangyue and Liu Ergou hadn't made one, which led to a scene of her negotiating with the staff. After so discussion, she returned to Liu Ergou's side, looking crestfallen.

"Er Gou, I can't take you to Michelin this ti. We'll have to eat sowhere else. I completely forgot you need to book in advance here!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou gently consoled her. "It's alright, really. Whatever we eat is fine, I'm not a picky eater!"

Being comforted by Liu Ergou only made Lu Shuangyue feel more disappointed. Just as the two were about to leave, a person neither of them expected to see walked through the door.

"Waiter, get a private room, quickly!"

At the sound of the familiar voice, Liu Ergou and Lu Shuangyue looked at each other and spoke a na in unison.

"Yuan Wenkang?" The source of this content ɪs novęlfire

"What's he doing here?"

Their voices were loud enough to catch the attention of the newcor. Yuan Wenkang looked over toward the sound. Seeing Liu Ergou and Lu Shuangyue standing off to the side, his eyes lit up instantly.

What are they doing in the county town? If I'm not mistaken, Lu Shuangyue must be here to sell her shares of Baozhi Hall.

As for Liu Ergou, Yuan Wenkang dismissed him with a glance.

Just so country bumpkin. Not worth a second look.

At this thought, the corners of his mouth turned up in a smirk. Suppressing his amusent, Yuan Wenkang put on a gentlemanly act and approached Lu Shuangyue.

"My, what a coincidence," he said, feigning surprise. "Shuang Yue, I didn't expect to see you here! What brings you to town?"

Lu Shuangyue rolled her eyes dramatically, having no desire to engage with him. She had co to thoroughly detest Yuan Wenkang.

Seeing that she was ignoring him, he didn't get angry and simply continued, "Shuang Yue, I assu you're here to eat? You need a reservation for this restaurant. How about this? Why don't you join ?"

Lu Shuangyue's first instinct was to refuse. But before she could speak, an idea seed to strike her. She suddenly changed her mind and nodded.

"Alright. But on one condition: you're treating. You're treating and Er Gou!"

Yuan Wenkang agreed to her request without a second thought.

Thus, the three of them proceeded to a private room. As soon as they sat down, Yuan Wenkang grabbed the nu and began ordering, rattling off more than a dozen dishes before he paused, still looking as if he wanted more.

After the waiter left the room, Yuan Wenkang finally turned to Lu Shuangyue. "Shuang Yue," he began slowly and deliberately, "I heard you've run into a bit of trouble recently? Sothing serious, I hear. So serious you might have to sell your shares in Baozhi Hall. Of course, if you're in any trouble, you can always co to . I'll help in any way I can, I won't back down."

Hearing this, Lu Shuangyue was stunned for a mont before it all clicked into place.

If I'm not mistaken, Yuan Wenkang had a hand in the problem with my dicinal herbs.

She decided to play along. She nodded, putting on a worried expression. "Yes, I have run into a bit of a problem. I need to pay tens of millions in damages for breach of contract, so I do have to sell so of my Baozhi Hall shares!"

Yuan Wenkang's interest was piqued. "Is that so? Shuang Yue, we go way back. How about this? I'll buy your shares. What do you say?"

But before Lu Shuangyue could respond, Liu Ergou interjected with a faint, cutting tone, "I'd say that's a terrible idea. Young Master Yuan, I suggest you save that money. You should probably use it to check on your... little bird. It'd be a terrible sha if your family line were to end with you, wouldn't it?"

Yuan Wenkang, who had been perfectly composed a mont ago, felt his expression twist with rage. The mory of what Liu Ergou had done to him was still vivid. With Lu Shuangyue present, he couldn't just explode. He could only grit his teeth and retort, "This has nothing to do with you! It's between Shuang Yue and . What business is it of yours?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou just chuckled and said no more. His only goal had been to rattle Yuan Wenkang's composure, and he had succeeded.

It was then that Lu Shuangyue spoke up. "So, Young Master Yuan is feeling generous? Willing to buy my shares? In that case, I won't be greedy. How about you acquire my shares at a 10% premium above the market price, Young Master Yuan?"
