Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

Liu Ergou showed no reaction to Mi Xiaoying calling him a fool.

She continued, "Since the contract is already signed, there's no need to hide anything from you anymore! Today's whole event was a trap designed just for you, waiting for you to sign that contract! Now that you've signed, you must hand over everything you own to us without compensation. Otherwise, we'll take legal action! Things won't be so simple then!"

Even after she said all this, Liu Ergou's expression remained unchanged.

"Oh, so that's what this is about," he said. "But I already guessed as much. Listening to you repeat it now feels like a waste of time."

"I..."

Liu Ergou didn't finish his sentence before Mi Xiaoying interrupted him. "So what if you guessed? Let me tell you, whether you showed up or not, you couldn't escape! Your only option is to do as you're told! That way, you might suffer a little less!"

"Oh!" Liu Ergou nodded. "I see. But unfortunately, I have no intention of listening to you. So, you can do whatever you like. If you succeed, I'll give you credit for it. Anyway, enough talk. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

With those words, Liu Ergou turned and left, his movements as smooth as flowing water, without the slightest hint of hesitation.

Watching his retreating back, Mi Xiaoying didn't react much beyond a cold laugh. She didn't place much value on Liu Ergou's prescriptions. Her real goal was to push him to the brink, to a point of no return. What are a few prescriptions to me?!

Looking at Liu Ergou's retreating figure, Mi Xiaoying called out, "Liu Ergou, I hope you don't regret this! By the time you do, it will be too late!"

Having said her piece, Mi Xiaoying left with the old man, Gongsun.

By that time, Liu Ergou had already briskly exited the venue. The moment he stepped outside, Lu Shuangyue eagerly took out her phone. "Er Gou, I recorded everything, from the moment the lawyer started explaining the clauses to the moment we left!" she said. "Heh. And they think they can take us to court! When the time comes, they'll be the ones in trouble. What they're doing is called commercial fraud!"

As she spoke, Lu Shuangyue waved her phone proudly in front of Liu Ergou.

He nodded in satisfaction. "Well done, Shuang Yue! I thought you had only recorded the part with the lawyer, but you got everything that followed too! Honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to Mi Xiaoying taking me to court now."

After their conversation, Lu Shuangyue took Liu Ergou back to her sports car, which then started up and headed toward her villa.

Meanwhile, Mi Xiaoying was sitting in her own car, looking at the contract in her hands with an ecstatic expression. But the excitement lasted less than a minute before her brows furrowed again.

No, something isn't right! Why isn't Liu Ergou afraid of me taking him to court? Surely he doesn't think he can just deny signing it when the time comes? No way, he can't be that stupid!

The more she thought, the more questions plagued her. They were unanswerable, leaving her deeply frustrated. In the end, Mi Xiaoying couldn't bear it any longer and simply forced herself to stop thinking about it.

Instead, she sneered and said aloud, "Hmph, Liu Ergou, I don't understand why you're still so confident! But I know one thing: if this really goes to court, nothing will be in your control!"

With that, Mi Xiaoying started her sedan and drove away.

「Time flew by, and soon it was noon.」

Lu Shuangyue and Liu Ergou had already finished lunch together. After the meal, Liu Ergou bade Lu Shuangyue farewell and headed back to the village. She was very reluctant to see him go and wanted to return with him, but he refused. The reason was simple: Baozhi Hall was in imminent danger, and it wouldn't be right for the chairman to be running off.

The reason was sufficient, and Lu Shuangyue could only sigh deeply, her eyes following him with reluctance as he departed.

Liu Ergou traveled tirelessly, finally arriving home in the evening. Standing at his own doorstep, he counted the days on his fingers. This is the first time I've been away from home for so long. Come to think of it, it's been more than four days.

Without further delay, Liu Ergou pushed open the door and walked inside. As soon as he entered, he saw Xu Yulan washing clothes.

When Xu Yulan saw him, it took her a moment to react. It wasn't until Liu Ergou had walked several steps forward that she finally realized he had truly returned. She immediately rushed forward and threw herself into his arms.

"Er Gou, why were you gone for so long? It's been almost four days!"

Looking at Xu Yulan in his arms, Liu Ergou gently patted her head. "Sister-in-law, I had some business to attend to. That's why I was gone so long, but I came back as soon as I was finished."

Hearing his explanation, Xu Yulan nodded and began to pull him toward the bedroom. But after a few steps, she seemed to remember something and looked up to speak.

Before she could get a word out, Liu Ergou interrupted her. "Sister-in-law, whatever you have to say can wait until tomorrow. Tonight, we have other... more important things to do."

With that, he swept her up in a princess carry and strode toward the room. Xu Yulan was no child and naturally understood what was about to happen. She shyly buried her face in his chest as they entered the room in the blink of an eye.

「The next morning.」

Liu Ergou, who had woken up early, sat on the bed and smiled as he looked at the soundly sleeping Xu Yulan beside him. Last night had been somewhat unexpected. He had only been apart from her for three days, but she had become incredibly wild, taking the initiative almost all night long. As for me... well, enough said.

With a smile and a shake of his head, Liu Ergou got up to prepare breakfast. It wasn't a hassle; he got most of it ready in just half an hour. The rest could wait until Xu Yulan woke up.
