Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Her gaze was filled with terror and suspicion.

"Wait, we're treating an illness. Why do I have to take off my clothes?!" Lu Xiaoyu demanded. "I seriously suspect you're just using this treatment as an excuse to get back at me!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Get back at you for what? If I really wanted revenge, I have much better ways than this! Why would I need to resort to such a cheap trick?"

"Let me tell you again, this is for your treatment. If you don't want to take off your clothes, then forget it. I might as well just go home! I have a ton of work waiting for me!"

With that, Liu Ergou stood up, pretending to leave.

Seeing him about to walk out, Lu Xiaoyu hurriedly called him back. "Wait, wait, wait, don't go just yet. We can talk this through!"

"Do I really have to take off my clothes? Isn't there a way to do it without undressing?"

Liu Ergou didn't answer immediately, pondering for a moment. After a good while of contemplation, he finally spoke.

"Ah, there is indeed a method that doesn't require undressing. However, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Are you sure you want to use it?"

Hearing that it was only a symptomatic treatment, Lu Xiaoyu suddenly became hesitant. After thinking it over for a while, she finally asked, "How does it only treat the symptoms? Can you explain?"

Liu Ergou replied directly, without beating around the bush, "It means you'll need to take medication for the rest of your life. That's all."

"Personally, I think it's a pretty good method. After all, you spent 500,000. If you were cured too easily, it wouldn't quite feel worth the price. Lifelong medication is the most fitting solution!"

These words from Liu Ergou were so infuriating that Lu Xiaoyu almost spat out a mouthful of blood. What on earth was he talking about? What did he mean, 'lifelong medication is the most fitting solution'?

Right now, Lu Xiaoyu had to fight the urge to rush forward and punch Liu Ergou hard. In the end, however, she suppressed the impulse. Taking several deep breaths, she finally asked him, "Whew… I don't want to be on medication for life!"

"So, what is this treatment that requires me to undress? How long will that take?"

"The one that requires you to undress is acupuncture," Liu Ergou explained. "Your clothes would interfere with the placement of the needles. As for the duration, it would take two months at most." He then fell silent, waiting for Lu Xiaoyu to make her decision.

Looking at Liu Ergou, Lu Xiaoyu thought for a moment before cautiously asking, "Are you sure? Just two months?"

Liu Ergou nodded.

"Two months. Three at the absolute most. That's the limit. Any longer and even I would be embarrassed. It would ruin my professional reputation!"

Hearing him put it that way, Lu Xiaoyu didn't press any further. Just as she was about to agree, another possibility occurred to her.

"Hold on, I just thought of something!" she exclaimed. "What if you deliberately drag this out for two months until I die? You wouldn't face any consequences!"

At her words, Liu Ergou couldn't help but roll his eyes again.

"There's no benefit for me if you die. If I wanted to kill you, I'd do it right now. Why bother dragging it out for three months? You're being ridiculous. Are you getting the treatment or not? If not, I'm really leaving!"

Having said this, Liu Ergou stood up and walked toward the door once more.

Seeing he was about to leave again, Lu Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and finally nodded. "Fine, we'll do the acupuncture like you said!"

"But, as you said, no more than three months. You must cure me within three months! If you fail, I have plenty of ways to make you disappear from this world without a trace. I can do it even if you're sleeping in the same bed as my niece every single day! Don't you doubt me!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou nodded dismissively. "Uh-huh, right. You're so tough. Oh, I'm so scared!"

"So, can you undress now? Can I start your treatment?"

Liu Ergou's blunt words made Lu Xiaoyu glare at him. Then, right in front of Liu Ergou, she began to unbutton her clothes. She first took off her jacket, revealing a white blouse underneath.

At this point, Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help but blush. She didn't want to continue taking off her clothes at all. But for the sake of her health, she gritted her teeth again, unbuttoned the blouse, and removed it, revealing the lingerie she wore underneath.

When Liu Ergou saw her lingerie, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoyu was wearing black lace lingerie that was quite sheer. A closer look left little to the imagination.

Furthermore, Lu Xiaoyu's figure was very impressive, in no way inferior to Lu Shuangyue's. Liu Ergou couldn't help but gulp.

At this moment, however, Liu Ergou was a bit puzzled. Why wasn't Lu Xiaoyu shy about undressing in front of him? She was being quite bold about it. This confused him.

Just as Liu Ergou was about to ask, he heard Lu Xiaoyu muttering something. Listening carefully, he could make out her words.

Don't be scared, don't be scared. He's going to see everything anyway, so there's nothing to be nervous about. It's just a matter of sooner or later. Undressing in front of him just means it'll happen sooner!

Hearing this, Liu Ergou almost laughed out loud, but he managed to stifle it at the last moment and maintain a poker face.

Having given herself a pep talk, Lu Xiaoyu quickly removed her lingerie and lay down naked on the sofa.

"Can we start the treatment now?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Liu Ergou nodded. "Yes, we can."

He then gently placed his hand on her back. What Liu Ergou didn't expect was that the moment his hand touched her, she immediately shivered, and goosebumps spread across her skin.

Before Liu Ergou could speak, Lu Xiaoyu asked, "Wait, didn't you say this was acupuncture? Why haven't you taken out the needles? And why is your hand on me?"

Hearing her question, Liu Ergou replied without lifting his head, "Acupuncture is no trivial matter. For a minor illness, I would insert the needles directly. But your case is different. Your illness is severe, so I can't be so casual about it. I must locate the exact acupoints first!"
