Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

But it was broad daylight.

Pouncing on Feng Chunling and having his way with her right now is clearly impossible, Liu Ergou thought. However, that didn't stop him from testing the waters to see what exactly she was up to.

"What is it, Auntie? Why are you calling for me in the middle of the day?" he asked. "Aren't you afraid of people gossiping about us?"

Hearing this, Feng Chunling rolled her eyes and said irritably, "What do you think I'm calling you for? To chat, of course! I'm bored out of my mind here by myself! Besides, the person who dares to gossip about me hasn't been born yet. I'd love to see who in Fengzhu Village dares to say a word about me!"

Liu Ergou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. She's not wrong. After Wang Yanli, she's the most formidable woman in Fengzhu Village. Anyone who dares to provoke Feng Chunling should expect to be thoroughly cussed out.

With that thought, Liu Ergou swallowed hard and quickly changed the subject. "Auntie, if you just want to chat, then forget it. I'm not interested in chatting. You can chat with anyone; it's not like I need to chat specifically with you! That's it, I'm going back to get some sleep!"

After saying his piece, Liu Ergou stretched languidly and made to go into his room.

Perched atop the wall, Feng Chunling grew anxious at the sight. No longer caring about appearances, she hastily climbed down and rushed to the entrance of Liu Ergou's house. With practiced ease, she opened the gate and quickly blocked his path.

"Er Gou! Why are you going to sleep in the middle of the day?" Feng Chunling asked irritably. "Besides, do I even need to spell it out, Er Gou? It's already so obvious. If I have to say it, it loses all its fun!"

At these words, Liu Ergou couldn't help but smirk. How could I not know what Feng Chunling is here for? Still, it's better for her to say it first. Otherwise, if something really happens later, she'll just deny everything and push all the trouble onto me.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou chuckled slyly. "Heh heh, Auntie, you'd better just spit it out. I'm a bit slow, so I really don't get your drift. You speak, and I promise I'll listen carefully!"

Looking at Liu Ergou's earnest expression, Feng Chunling rolled her eyes once more. Then she leaned in and whispered into his ear, "Er Gou, I'm going to take a bath later. Could you come over and help me scrub my back?"

At that, Liu Ergou smirked. So she finally said it.

He had been brimming with pent-up energy after treating Lu Xiaoyu, and he thought he'd have to let it simmer overnight. But who would have thought that as soon as I got home, Feng Chunling would throw herself at me. This is a delightful surprise. Thinking this, Liu Ergou felt elated.

He slapped his chest, making a loud thud. "So that's what this is about, Auntie!" Liu Ergou said with a grin. "Don't you worry. I'll definitely help you with such a small favor!"

Upon hearing Liu Ergou agree, Feng Chunling didn't waste any time. She hurriedly ran out of his house, rushed to her own front gate, and quickly pulled it open before ducking inside.

Just as Liu Ergou was about to follow, Hu Jing suddenly popped up from nowhere. Looking at him with curiosity, she asked, "Hey? Er Gou, where are you off to?"

Seeing Hu Jing appear out of thin air, Liu Ergou was so frustrated his teeth began to itch. Why is she running around in the middle of the day when the sun is so scorching? So infuriating! Most importantly, she ruined my plans! Damn it!

But before Liu Ergou could say a word, Feng Chunling angrily slammed her front door shut with such force that it made a loud bang. The noise startled Hu Jing, who was standing at the entrance.

Looking at Feng Chunling's door, Hu Jing couldn't help but say, "What was that all about? Why slam the door so hard? It scared me! How annoying."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but roll his eyes. You're the most annoying one here.

However, he didn't say that out loud. Instead, he asked, "Hu Jing, what are you doing out here in the middle of the day? Aren't you bothered by the heat?"

At Liu Ergou's words, Hu Jing suddenly perked up. She hurriedly pulled a laptop bag out from behind her back and began to open it. "It's like this, Er Gou," she said as she worked. "I suddenly remembered something and wanted to look at it with you. Wait a second, let me get my laptop out!"

Watching Hu Jing struggling with the laptop, Liu Ergou sighed helplessly. "Alright, alright, don't bother taking it out!" he said. "There's nowhere to put your laptop out here anyway. If you don't mind, just come to my room. I've got a desk in there. We can look at it on the desk together."

Upon hearing what Liu Ergou said, Hu Jing nodded happily. She quickly stepped forward and very naturally linked her arm with his, and together they walked into his room.

「Meanwhile, over at Lu Xiaoyu's.」

Since Liu Ergou had left, Lu Xiaoyu had been lying on the sofa for a good half an hour before she finally got up. Once on her feet, she quickly and efficiently got dressed. Just then, her female secretary walked in.

Seeing her secretary, Lu Xiaoyu asked, "Answer me honestly, do you see any change in me?"

The secretary sized her up carefully before shaking her head. "No change. If I have to say, the biggest change is that your face is much redder than before! Does that count as a change?"

Hearing this, Lu Xiaoyu stamped her foot forcefully. "Ugh, what are you talking about! Really, how is a red face a change!"

Just as she finished speaking, her stomach let out a pitiful growl.

RUMBLE...

Needless to say, she was hungry.

The secretary clearly heard the sound. The moment she heard it, she immediately said, "President, you must be hungry! Let's go downstairs. I'll drive you to get something to eat."

However, Lu Xiaoyu refused. "Never mind the car. Let's just walk to that restaurant. I'm actually craving their food!"

Upon hearing the word "walk," the secretary's expression turned serious instantly. "President, please don't be reckless. That restaurant is too far. Your body won't be able to handle the walk. It's better if I drive."
