Zhao Xuelan was no fool. She naturally understood the aning behind Liu Er Gou's words.
"Ahem, what I an is, a small part of it was due to the acupuncture," she explained. "But for the most part, it was all thanks to you, Er Gou! If you weren't so strong and sturdy, sticking full of needles like a hedgehog probably wouldn't have worked!"
These words from Zhao Xuelan greatly pleased Liu Er Gou. Of course, he knew it was the truth.
Just then, Zhao Xuelan asked, "Er Gou, do you have to go back now that my treatnt is done?"
Liu Er Gou nodded.
"Yes. I've finished my business here, so I'll be heading back soon," he said. "I have a pile of things waiting for , and my career has just started. I can't be away for too long."
Liu Er Gou wasn't lying. After all, dozens of acres of land were waiting for him. If anything went wrong with that land, it would be a significant loss, even with Lu Shuangyue backing him up. Barring any surprises, he had to return today.
Just as Liu Er Gou reached this conclusion, Zhao Xuelan suddenly made a suggestion. "Er Gou, how about this? I'll go back with you! I studied managent in college, so I can help out.
"That way, we won't have to be apart either."
As she spoke, Zhao Xuelan shot Liu Er Gou a seductive glance, her intentions perfectly clear.
However, Liu Er Gou didn't agree. "That's enough. You don't need to co with . I don't need your help for now, so just stay here and be good."
Zhao Xuelan looked as if she wanted to say more, but Liu Er Gou interrupted her. "Alright, be good. Don't make trouble for . It's not like I'm leaving and never coming back. My village is a bit of a distance from the city, but it's only half a day's drive. It's easy to co over. Besides, I can just buy a car later!"
Since Liu Er Gou had put it that way, Zhao Xuelan could only nod obediently. Watching her, Liu Er Gou chuckled, ready to deepen their emotional connection once more.
But just then, his phone began to ring. Looking at the phone in his pocket, Liu Er Gou sighed in helpless frustration. Why does my phone always have to ring at tis like this? Can't it wait for a more convenient mont? Despite his reluctance, he still picked up his phone to look.
A single glance was all it took for his expression to turn serious. The call was from Lu Shuangyue.
A call from Lu Shuangyue probably ans sothing important has co up, he thought. With this in mind, Liu Er Gou made a silencing gesture toward Zhao Xuelan, who imdiately nodded in understanding.
Only then did he answer the call. "Hello, Shuang Yue, what's up?"
Lu Shuangyue's voice soon ca from the other end. "Er Gou, I've run into a problem, and it's not convenient to discuss over the phone. Where are you right now? Shall we et up?"
Hearing this, Liu Er Gou didn't beat around the bush. "I have so business in the city right now. What about you? Where are you?"
Hearing Liu Er Gou was also in the city, Lu Shuangyue exclaid in surprise, "Oh? Er Gou! You're here too? What a coincidence! I thought you were in the village and was about to send a driver for you. Never mind that now! There's no need for a driver. I'll co get you myself. Just tell your location!"
Liu Er Gou didn't hesitate, imdiately telling Lu Shuangyue his location. He then picked up his phone and called Liu Yunxi, telling him he had sothing to take care of. He said that after Liu Yunxi dropped off Qin Xiaoyu, he should return to the hotel and wait. Liu Er Gou would find him once his own business was finished. Liu Yunxi had no objections and didn't ask any questions, simply saying he understood before hanging up. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel·fıre·net
After hanging up, Liu Er Gou turned to look at Zhao Xuelan lying in bed and couldn't help but sigh.
"Ah, Sister Xue Lan, I was hoping to spend more ti with you today, but I'm a bit tied up."
"It's okay," Zhao Xuelan said softly. "For an amazing doctor like you, it would be strange if you weren't busy.
"Go on, don't let delay you from important matters."
Hearing this, Liu Er Gou nodded. He put on his clothes, ready to leave Zhao Xuelan's ho. But just as he finished getting dressed, his phone suddenly buzzed with a notification.
He picked up the phone and saw a ssage from Leng Shasha. The content was simple: she was asking when Liu Er Gou would co to treat her.
After a mont's thought, Liu Er Gou replied that he was busy and would co over when he had ti. However, no sooner had he sent the ssage than Sha Sha replied with a voice ssage.
He opened the voice ssage, and Leng Shasha's seductive voice imdiately filled the air.
"Er Gou, how can you be so heartless? I'm feeling so weak and awful... Won't you co over now, please?"
This ti, Liu Er Gou didn't respond imdiately. Instead, he turned to Zhao Xuelan. "Sister Xue Lan, what do you think she ans by this?"
Hearing this, Zhao Xuelan scoffed. "What else could it an? Leng Shasha is just trying to lure you over there. Once you arrive, she'll use all sorts of excuses to leave you hanging, keeping you on tenterhooks.
"Then, once you're completely exhausted, she'll just kick you out!"
Liu Er Gou nodded thoughtfully. "Is that so? Well, if she likes keeping people on tenterhooks so much, I can play that ga too. I'll give her a taste of her own dicine."
Just as he decided how to handle Leng Shasha, his phone received another voice ssage from her. This ti, Liu Er Gou didn't even bother listening and simply blocked her number.
After sharing another brief, affectionate mont with Zhao Xuelan, he finished dressing and left the apartnt. He made his way to the location he had arranged with Lu Shuangyue and waited for her to pick him up.
「A few monts later.」
A red sports car roared from the distance, screeching to a halt right in front of Liu Er Gou. The smoke from the tires burning against the pavent made him squint. But in the next second, Lu Shuangyue's voice called out, "Er Gou, get in!"
Hearing her voice, Liu Er Gou opened his eyes, pulled open the passenger door, and slid inside.
