Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law

However, Fu Ya didn't spare the talking security guard a single glance. She walked straight to Liu Ergou and affectionately linked her arm with his.

"Little Brother Er Gou, I've been waiting for you! What took you so long? I was starting to think you'd forgotten my birthday!" Fu Ya said in a sweet, coquettish voice.

At her words, the smile on the mocking security guard's face froze instantly.

Did I just offend someone I can't afford to cross?

The other security guards weren't faring much better.

Then, Liu Ergou spoke up. "Sister Fu Ya, I just arrived, but I ran into a bit of trouble at the entrance."

With that, he pointed at the security guard, who stood rooted to the spot, dumbfounded.

"He said my invitation was stolen and wouldn't let me in!"

The moment Liu Ergou finished speaking, Fu Ya whipped her head around and glared at the guard.

The guard saw her expression and immediately tried to explain. "Miss, please, let me explain! It's not…"

Before he could finish, Fu Ya cut him off sharply. "Save it. Get your things and get out. This humble hotel is too small to accommodate a big shot like you!"

The guard's face flushed red with indignation, and he opened his mouth to explain again. But one look at Fu Ya's icy gaze and the words died in his throat. He said nothing more, simply turned, and left in shame.

Witnessing this, the other guards swallowed nervously in unison. They cast pleading looks at Liu Ergou, hoping he would let them off the hook.

However, Liu Ergou wasn't the type to press his advantage. He simply ignored them.

Then, he followed Fu Ya into the hotel.

The remaining guards breathed a huge sigh of relief as they watched Liu Ergou's departing figure.

Following Fu Ya, Liu Ergou entered the hotel, and they took an elevator to the top floor.

In the elevator, Fu Ya explained, "Little Brother Er Gou, I've booked the entire top floor. Once we're there, don't feel like you have to be formal. Just relax and make yourself at home!"

Liu Ergou didn't say much, just nodded.

But he soon remembered something and quickly pulled a small gift box from his coat, handing it to Fu Ya.

"Sister Fu Ya, this is your birthday gift."

Fu Ya looked at the small gift box with surprise, then her expression softened into a smile as she accepted it.

"Oh, Little Brother Er Gou, you've already saved my life! Just having you at my party is the best gift I could ask for. You really didn't have to bring anything!"

Although she said it was unnecessary, her hands moved quickly. As she spoke, she had already opened the small box and taken out the sachet inside.

When Fu Ya saw the sachet, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. She was immediately captivated by its fragrance.

"Wow, Little Brother Er Gou, what kind of sachet is this? The scent is so unique! It has the fragrance of medicinal herbs, but also a refreshing aroma! The two scents don't clash at all; in fact, they're perfectly harmonious!" Fu Ya said, sniffing it again. "This is incredible. I've never seen anything like it on the market!"

Liu Ergou just smiled. "It's just an ordinary sachet I made myself. I'm glad you like it, Sister Fu Ya."

Hearing that Liu Ergou had made it himself, Fu Ya's eyes lit up. She stood on her tiptoes and planted a quick kiss on his cheek.

"I had no idea you were so skilled, little brother! You can even make your own sachets!"

Just as they finished speaking, the elevator arrived at the top floor. Fu Ya took Liu Ergou's hand and led him out into the banquet hall.

She then said to him, "Little Brother Er Gou, I have a few things to attend to, so I can't stay with you for now. Please, enjoy yourself. I'll come find you as soon as I'm finished!"

With that, Fu Ya walked off, glancing back every few steps until she disappeared into the crowd, leaving Liu Ergou standing alone.

Standing there, Liu Ergou was neither nervous nor afraid; his expression barely wavered. He calmly scanned his surroundings.

Everyone here was either wealthy or powerful, and Liu Ergou knew exactly why so many men around Fu Ya's age were in attendance. After all, Fu Ya was still unmarried and didn't even have a boyfriend.

He mulled it over for a moment, then simply found a corner and began to quietly sample the food from a buffet table.

Although he had never seen most of these dishes before, his table manners were far from crude; on the contrary, they possessed a certain elegance.

He just stood there, eating at a calm and unhurried pace.

Though he appeared to be eating at a leisurely pace, he had cleared a good portion of the table in front of him within minutes.

Liu Ergou had always had a big appetite, but it had increased dramatically since he started practicing the Body Cultivation Technique. It was no exaggeration to say that if Liu Ergou truly let himself go, he could probably eat half the food on that table by himself.

Just as Liu Ergou reached for a slice of cake, a mocking voice cut through the air.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look what we have here. Where did this country bumpkin sneak in from? He looks like a starving ghost who hasn't eaten in a century!

"Then again, looking at those clothes, it's obvious you don't get to eat food like this. Go on, eat up. This might be the last time in your life you eat so well!"

At his words, the people nearby erupted in loud laughter.

Liu Ergou heard the mockery but showed no reaction, simply looking up at the man who had spoken.

The speaker was dressed flamboyantly in a black suit and shiny leather shoes. His face looked powdered, and his hair was slicked back in a gaudy pompadour. He certainly looked the part.

When the man saw Liu Ergou looking at him, he rolled his eyes dramatically. "What are you looking at, you country bumpkin? Get back to your food!

"You dare stare at me? Do you have any idea who I…"

However, before he could finish his threat, Liu Ergou interjected with utter certainty.

"Quiet for a moment and let me say something. You're sick. Very sick. You have a kidney deficiency.

"I'd advise you to get to a hospital and have that checked out as soon as possible."

As soon as Liu Ergou's words came out, the hall fell silent. A moment later, an even louder roar of laughter erupted, far surpassing the first one.

"HAHAHA! HAHAHA!"

Amid the laughter, voices began to buzz throughout the crowd.
