Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but ask, "What? Sister-in-law, what are you suggesting? Our families' relationship is so terrible, how could I possibly marry her daughter? If I did, wouldn't that be..."

Before Liu Ergou could finish, Xu Yulan cut him off.

"Er Gou, you just don't get it, do you?" Xu Yulan said earnestly. "Let me tell you, if you manage to win her daughter's heart, that would be the ultimate revenge! She's been bullying our family for so many years, and you can get back at her through her daughter! What's more, if Yang Mei really joins the Liu Family, Feng Chunling wouldn't dare to bother us anymore. If she did, the one who would suffer would be her own daughter!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Good grief. I always thought my sister-in-law was a delicate little flower, fragile and easily bullied. I never imagined she was so devious on the inside. Scheme after scheme... I could never have come up with something so clever. It seems my sister-in-law has quite a brain on her shoulders.

After this realization, Liu Ergou remembered Yang Mei's personality and said, "Forget it, Sister-in-law. Her daughter Yang Mei's temper is the spitting image of Feng Chunling's; they're cut from the same cloth! If I married Yang Mei, she might tear the roof off our house. I think it's best to just drop it!"

With that, Liu Ergou put an arm around Xu Yulan's shoulder and started walking toward his house.

As they walked, however, Xu Yulan showed no intention of giving up on the idea, continuing to persuade him.

"Er Gou, listen to me. If Feng Chunling really introduces her daughter Yang Mei to you, just date her for a while, even if you don't marry her! Date her for two or three years, get everything you want out of it, and you won't lose a thing! It serves her right for taking advantage of our family..."

Listening to Xu Yulan's incessant chatter, Liu Ergou threw his hands up in surrender.

"Sister-in-law, please, say no more! I'll listen to you, I promise!"

Seeing that Liu Ergou had finally agreed, Xu Yulan nodded in satisfaction. Soon, they arrived back at the courtyard.

Just as Xu Yulan was about to head to her room to sleep, Liu Ergou grabbed her arm, stopping her. She looked at him, confused, wondering what he was up to.

Then she heard him say with a grin, "Sister-in-law, don't go back to your room tonight. Why don't you come to my room instead, okay?"

Xu Yulan refused him flatly.

"No way! Er Gou, don't get any ideas. It's that time of the month for me, so put those naughty thoughts away!"

With that, Xu Yulan stood on her tiptoes and gave Liu Ergou a peck on the cheek. She then pulled her arm free, turned, and went back to her room, leaving a disappointed Liu Ergou standing alone.

Watching his sister-in-law's retreating figure disappear, Liu Ergou heaved a long sigh. He couldn't help but glance toward Feng Chunling's house.

I'm all worked up right now; there's no way I'd be able to sleep if I went to bed. What if... I scale the wall and pay Feng Chunling a visit tonight?

The more he considered it, the more he felt the plan was sound.

Having made up his mind, Liu Ergou didn't linger. He went straight to his room, turned off the light, and lay on his bed to wait quietly. While he waited, though, his heart burned with desire. The thought of Feng Chunling's voluptuous body made him want to leap out of bed and rush over to her house for a good tumble. But it was still too early. He could only suppress the urge and continue to wait.

However, as he waited, a worry began to creep into his mind.

What if Feng Chunling talks a big game but gets cold feet when the time actually comes?

The thought made him anxious. But after a moment of worry, his mood surprisingly calmed. He realized it was pointless to worry. Why overthink it? It was better to just lie here and wait for the dead of night.

And so, Liu Ergou lay quietly on his bed with his eyes closed, waiting.

What he never expected was that the moment he closed his eyes, he drifted off to sleep. He slept straight through until morning, waking up naturally. When Liu Ergou finally awoke and checked the time, he was dumbfounded. It was already time for his daily cultivation practice.

Looking at the time, Liu Ergou felt like crying.

How could I have slept so long? This is just my luck, absolutely terrible.

But at least his fire had died down; he wasn't as worked up as he had been. With this thought, Liu Ergou scratched an itch, climbed out of bed, and sat cross-legged to begin his daily practice.

After a few moments, his practice was finished. Liu Ergou lay back down on the bed, intending to catch a little more sleep. But before he could even close his eyes, he heard his sister-in-law's voice from outside the door.

"Er Gou, are you up? If you are, hurry and wash up. Someone's here to see you!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but groan in misery.

My life is so hard. It was bad enough being all worked up last night, but now I can't even get a little extra sleep. Just my luck. I finally lie down, and I'm being called out again.

Though extremely reluctant, Liu Ergou put on his clothes, got up, and walked out into the courtyard.

As soon as he stepped outside, he saw Wu Guifang and Hu Jing sitting there. The sight of them made him feel a headache coming on.

I can't believe it. Why are they here so early? It's only eight o'clock. I figured they wouldn't show up until around noon. I didn't expect them to be in such a hurry.

After a sigh, Liu Ergou washed his face and sat down across from Wu Guifang and Hu Jing.

Hu Jing's outfit today was a completely different style from the other day. Back then, her clothes had been vibrant and full of life. Today, she wore a woman's suit and a pair of black-framed glasses, looking very formal.

He racked his brain for a moment, trying to recall what this style was called. If I'm not mistaken, isn't this what they call an 'executive woman' look? Or something like that. I can't quite remember.

Looking at the two women before him, Liu Ergou took several deep breaths to calm himself before speaking.

"Alright, you two are here. What is it? Spit it out, I want to go back to sleep!"
