Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou said coldly, "Sister Shasha, I've come to think you weren't wrong at all last time."

"A village doctor like me isn't qualified to treat Sister Qiushui."

"How about this? If her condition is serious, you should take her to a hospital. They're certainly more professional than I am and will definitely be able to cure her. Let's just leave it at that."

Leng Shasha's heart sank when she heard his words.

She realized he was angry.

But she couldn't give up on him now; he was the only one who could treat Zhu Qiushui.

Thinking this, Leng Shasha quickly began to apologize in a soft, gentle voice.

"Ergou, please don't be angry!"

"Last time was all my fault. I shouldn't have said those things. I'm so sorry, I truly apologize!"

"Please, I'm begging you, just come and treat Sister Qiushui!"

"I know now that I was wrong!"

Hearing Leng Shasha's apology, Liu Ergou couldn't help but feel a flicker of satisfaction. But he absolutely couldn't agree yet. If he did, she'd think he was still a pushover, just as easy to manipulate as before.

He immediately said, "Ah, it's not every day Sister Shasha shows so much faith in me!"

"How about this? I'll go to a major hospital right now for some systematic training!"

"I guarantee I'll have it all figured out within a year. After that, I'll come and treat Sister Qiushui!"

"Don't you worry, when that time comes, I'll be sure to provide a cure that's guaranteed to work. How does that sound?"

Liu Ergou's words left Leng Shasha completely dumbfounded.

She had never expected him to say such a thing.

In her mind, even if Ergou was angry, all she had to do was humble herself and apologize, and he would surely forgive her. But now, the situation was nothing like she had imagined, and for a moment, she was at a complete loss.

When Liu Ergou heard silence on the other end of the line, he added, "Anyway, Sister Shasha, I've got other things to do, so I have to go now."

Of course, he had no intention of actually hanging up. He was just saying that to make her squirm.

As expected, the moment Leng Shasha heard he was about to hang up, she panicked.

"Ergou, don't hang up!"

"We can talk this out!"

"I was truly wrong before. I'm so sorry!"

"Look, uhm… how about I treat you to a meal? Please stop being angry, okay?"

Hearing her offer to treat him to a meal, Liu Ergou finally revealed a satisfied smile.

She'd finally taken the bait. That hadn't been easy. Even so, he didn't let his guard down. He knew a woman like Leng Shasha wouldn't be this straightforward; who knew what other traps she had waiting for him. If he didn't stay sharp, he could easily fall into one of them.

"Treat me to a meal, you say~" Liu Ergou said, dragging out the words. "Alright then, I suppose I can accept Sister Shasha's offer!"

Leng Shasha was overjoyed when she heard him agree.

"Great! Ergou, give me the address and I'll come pick you up right now!"

Liu Ergou immediately gave Leng Shasha the address of Zhang Man's house.

Leng Shasha repeated it a few times to make sure she had it right before hanging up.

Just as Ergou hung up, Zhang Man walked out of her room, looking a little surprised to see him.

"Hey, Ergou! You didn't leave with my dad?"

Saying this, she ran over happily and threw her arms around him.

"If that's the case, then let's continue! Don't worry, no one will interrupt us this time. I'm going to lock the door and turn off my cell phone!"

Although he was quite tempted by her words, Ergou painfully declined.

"No, no, I just got a call. Someone needs me for something, so I have to leave soon! Don't worry, next time I will definitely 'eat' you up!"

After speaking, he reached out and playfully ruffled her hair.

However, Zhang Man frowned upon hearing his words.

"What? Someone's looking for you? Who is it? A man or a woman? Where are you two going?"

Her three questions dripped with jealousy.

But Ergou had no intention of hiding anything and answered her straightforwardly.

"A friend of mine. Of course, it's a woman. I wouldn't go if it were a man! She said she's treating me to lunch! That's all."

His honest answer infuriated Zhang Man.

He could almost see her puffing up like an angry pufferfish.

Just then, she said with annoyance, "Hmph! So you're turning me down to go have lunch with some other woman! Is she prettier than me?"

Her question made him pause and think. He looked down at Zhang Man, then pictured Leng Shasha in his mind. Finally, he gave an answer that completely baffled her.

"Hmm… you two look pretty similar, but she's bigger than you!"

As he spoke, he made a gesture with his hands, and Zhang Man understood instantly.

"Aaaah! Damn it! I'm not small at all! If you don't believe me, look!"

She moved to prove her point, but Liu Ergou stopped her.

"Alright, alright, stop fooling around," he said, holding her back. "Next time, I promise. For now, someone's waiting for me. I'm going!"

Without another moment of hesitation, Liu Ergou turned and left, completely ignoring her reaction.

Watching his retreating figure, Zhang Man stomped her feet in frustration. In the end, though, she didn't utter a single word of complaint and just returned to her room, huffing and puffing.

Meanwhile, a satisfied smile graced Liu Ergou's face as he left the villa.

He knew Zhang Man had set her heart on him.

He started walking out of the villa complex, already plotting how to handle Leng Shasha.

This was a hard-won opportunity. He had to strike decisively and conquer her in one go.

However, just as he reached the roadside, a sports car shot out from the villa complex and screeched to a halt right in front of him.

Looking at the sports car, Liu Ergou wore a confused expression.

What's going on? Could Zhang Man be chasing me?

At that thought, he took a closer look and realized it wasn't her car.

Before he could say a word, the car's window rolled down.
