Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Liu Ergou, who had been expressionless, flared up the moment he saw Lu Xiaoyu's expression. He knew exactly what she was implying. This woman was questioning his virility, and that's why she had that look on her face.

Seeing the contempt on Lu Xiaoyu's face, Liu Ergou wished he could just press her down onto the bed and teach her a lesson right then and there, just to show her whether he was capable or not.

However, as much as he wanted to, he couldn't. After all, she was Lu Shuangyue's aunt.

If I acted on my impulses, it wouldn't just be Lu Xiaoyu who'd come after me—Lu Shuangyue wouldn't let me off the hook either, he guessed. With that thought, Liu Ergou didn't say much more.

At that moment, Lu Xiaoyu began to disguise herself. She first put on a pair of sunglasses, followed by a mask, completely concealing her face. Only then did she pick up her purse and walk toward the exit.

After taking a couple of steps, she seemed to remember something. She turned her head and waved at Liu Ergou, signaling for him to follow.

Watching this, Liu Ergou shrugged. Why is she covering up so thoroughly? It's not like she's some celebrity. Is all this secrecy necessary?

Lu Xiaoyu, walking ahead, seemed to have heard his thoughts and proactively began to explain.

"I didn't want to cover up so much either, but I really don't want others to see me coming out of a hotel with a man. You get my drift, Liu Ergou?"

Liu Ergou nodded, indicating that he understood.

Soon, the two reached the hotel entrance and were about to go their separate ways when Lu Xiaoyu suddenly slapped her forehead as if she'd just remembered something. She then pulled out a key from her purse and tossed it straight to Liu Ergou.

Caught off guard, Liu Ergou instinctively caught the key with one hand. He then looked at it, puzzled, and asked, "Why are you giving me a key? What key is this? Could it be your house key?"

Just then, a look of sudden realization dawned on Liu Ergou's face. He clutched his chest in mock horror.

"Oh! I get it now! You're lusting after my beauty, so you gave me your house key! Does this mean I'm supposed to come find you secretly tonight, is that it?"

"I can't believe it, Lu Xiaoyu! I completely misjudged you!" As he spoke, Liu Ergou hastily stepped back several paces.

Watching Liu Ergou's comical behavior, Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help but roll her eyes. She then yelled at him, exasperated, "Shut your mouth, Liu Ergou!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?! Me, into you? How could I possibly be interested in you!"

"This is the key to Lu Shuangyue's place! I mean for you to return it to her when you have a chance. I don't have time right now; I have other things to attend to!"

"Got it?"

Liu Ergou nodded, indicating he understood. But Lu Xiaoyu's next sentence made his expression darken.

"But honestly, I'm still not entirely comfortable giving you the key. I'm afraid you'll secretly make a copy and use it to sneak into Shuangyue's home in the dead of night!"

"And then... do something despicable to Shuang Yue! Ew!" As she spoke, Lu Xiaoyu's face filled with disgust, and she even shivered.

She looked at Liu Ergou, fighting the urge to walk right up and kick him.

But as the old saying goes, a good man doesn't quarrel with a woman. So, Liu Ergou just frowned and tossed the key back to Lu Xiaoyu.

"Fine! Since you're so suspicious and so worried about Shuang Yue, you can deliver this key yourself!"

"According to you, if anything unexpected were to happen, I'd never be able to clear my name, even if I jumped into the Yellow River!"

"Delivering this key is too dangerous, too terrifying!"

After saying that, Liu Ergou turned on his heel and left without the slightest hesitation.

His decisiveness left Lu Xiaoyu utterly dumbfounded. Her only intention had been to tease him a bit and see his flustered reaction. She hadn't expected him to refuse so adamantly.

Watching Liu Ergou stride away, Lu Xiaoyu didn't dare say anything else and hastily grabbed onto him. Then she started explaining.

"Don't go! Don't! I was just kidding, Er Gou! I know you're not that kind of person!"

"Please, help me deliver the key to Shuang Yue!"

As she spoke, she tried to stuff the key back into Liu Ergou's hands. But this time, Liu Ergou decisively pushed it back into her grasp.

I'm not delivering this key to Lu Shuangyue. If some mishap occurs at her family's home, I'll be blamed for it. By then, I'd be completely defenseless.

"No thanks! You'd better deliver it yourself! I'm a coward; I can't handle the stress. Just leave me out of it!" Having said that, Liu Ergou once again broke free from Lu Xiaoyu.

Seeing that her explanations had no effect, Lu Xiaoyu began to panic. She had only meant to joke with Liu Ergou; she really had no other intention. Unfortunately, by this point, Liu Ergou was no longer listening to her explanations.

Seeing Liu Ergou was already several steps away, Lu Xiaoyu bit her lip and hurriedly caught up with him. Liu Ergou didn't want to deal with her. But to his surprise, Lu Xiaoyu actually started speaking softly to him.

"I'm sorry, I was really just joking. I promise I won't do it again, please don't hold it against me! I know I was wrong, so please forgive me!"

"Please, will you help me give the key to Shuang Yue?"

Looking at Lu Xiaoyu now pleading in front of him, a satisfied smile crept onto Liu Ergou's lips.

After all, it's rare to see a beautiful woman pleading for forgiveness, especially from me. I'm a man. I shouldn't be so petty; I should be more magnanimous.

With that thought, Liu Ergou snorted. "Be more careful with your words next time. If something like this happens again, I won't help you, even if you beg on your knees!"

With that, Liu Ergou pocketed the key and turned to leave.

However, just at that moment, Lord Six had arrived near the hotel with his two henchmen and a tagalong, Wu Dahu.

After surveying the area for a moment, Lord Six's eyes lit up. He saw Lu Xiaoyu squabbling with Liu Ergou.

And just then, Wu Dahu said, "Lord Six, look! That's Liu Ergou. The woman with him is wrapped up so tightly, she must be a married woman, afraid of being recognized!"

Hearing Wu Dahu's words, Lord Six paid him no mind and simply sneered. Because he knew.
