I attained immortality through meditation in the Great Qian Dynasty.

Zhao Zian was about to wrap the medicine when he noticed that the woman beside him was acting strangely.

"Manager Su?"

"Zian..."

Su Mei pressed herself against him.

Tell me the truth.

"What's that mark on your neck...?"

Zhao Zian then realized what was happening.

This was probably left behind when Li Hongyun was in a state of mental confusion.

The situation was urgent, and he wouldn't have paid attention to such things.

"An accident."

"Accident?"

Su Mei scoffed.

"Was it an accident caused by some pretty girl?"

Zhao Zian realized that she had misunderstood.

"Things aren't what you think..."

"What is it?"

Su Mei grabbed Zhao Zi'an's wrist.

Caught off guard, Zhao Zian was suddenly pulled away by her.

My back slammed hard against the medicine cabinet behind me.

Before he could react, Su Mei had already pressed her body against him, trapping him between herself and the medicine cabinet.

"Let me see."

"Tsk tsk..."

She stretched out her fingertips and caressed the dark red color.

"The imprint is quite deep. It seems the younger sister has received the favor, and the battle is fierce."

Zhao Zian's face was ashen.

What kind of thoughts are going through this woman's mind!

"Su Mei! Haven't you made enough of a scene? I have urgent business!"

"Is it urgent?"

"Is anything more urgent than this?"

Zhao Zian froze.

Su Mei clearly sensed the change in him.

"See, you're not in such a hurry."

She chuckled.

Zhao Zian suppressed the nameless anger rising in his heart.

You can't reason with Su Mei in this state.

Su Mei lowered her head slightly and pressed her red lips to that mark.

After a long while, she finally raised her head.

He looked at the marks he had left with satisfaction and smiled.

"That covers it up."

"Now, it's mine."

But she didn't notice that the man's eyes had become as deep and unfathomable as the sea.

He kept enduring it.

It was tough.

But tonight, this woman went too far.

Does she really think he's some kind of clay figure she can mold at will?

The wrist that Su Mei was holding was suddenly twisted.

Su Mei felt a numbness in her wrist, and in the blink of an eye, she was pinned firmly against the medicine cabinet.

This time, the tide has turned.

Su Mei was stunned.

"Zi'an, you..."

"Manager Su."

Zhao Zian spoke up.

"Don't you find it amusing to tease Zhao?"

Su Mei's heart skipped a beat.

She had never seen Zhao Zi'an like this before.

This feeling of being completely controlled... made her legs go weak.

"I...I didn't..."

"No?"

Zhao Zian lowered his head.

"Does Manager Su know that playing with fire will get you burned?"

"Zhao is a hot-blooded man, not a bodhisattva in a temple. Some fires, once ignited, will burn everything down."

"Don't regret it later, Manager Su."

Su Mei's cheeks were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.

This man...he was warning her!

"I……"

Su Mei opened her mouth.

Zhao Zian tightened his grip on her shoulders.

Su Mei winced in pain and let out a charming "hiss".

You're hurting me...

Zhao Zian's expression turned cold.

"Manager Su, remember how you felt tonight."

"Next time you have such thoughts, think carefully about whether you can bear the consequences."

After saying that, he released his grip.

Su Mei's body went limp, and she almost slipped and fell to the ground along the medicine cabinet.

Zhao Zian turned around and picked up the medicinal herbs that he had just accidentally scattered, then wrapped them in straw paper.

……

After wrapping up the medicine, Zhao Zian felt a wave of lingering fear.

This woman is a natural enchantress.

Every frown and smile is captivating.

He picked up the wrapped medicine.

"Put the medicine cost on my tab."

……

Outside the door, Accountant Sun and Physician Wang didn't dare to go far.

The two of them pricked up their ears.

The curtain was lifted, and Zhao Zian came out.

Accountant Sun and Physician Wang exchanged a glance.

"What...what's wrong?" Dr. Wang asked in a low voice.

"Judging from Doctor Zhao's complexion, he doesn't look well," Accountant Sun analyzed, stroking his chin. "Could it be... that he had a fight with the manager?"

"It doesn't look like it," Dr. Wang shook his head.

As the two were whispering to each other, Su Mei also came out from the back room.

Her face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with spring water.

"Shopkeeper." The two bowed quickly.

"Mmm," Su Mei responded, seemingly in a good mood.

She walked to the door, looking in the direction where Zhao Zian had disappeared, her eyes filled with a melancholy.

"Accountant Sun".

"I'm here."

"Starting today, the contribution to Dr. Zhao will be increased by another 10%."

"Ah?" Accountant Sun exclaimed in surprise. "Manager, this...this is already forty percent complete!"

Su Mei turned around.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you have a problem with that?"

"No...no! How could I dare to have any objections!" Accountant Sun hurriedly waved his hand.

He finally understood.

This isn't an argument.

This is clearly flirting, they're really getting carried away!

But... why does Doctor Zhao look so angry?

Accountant Sun was completely baffled.

Could this be... the legendary "one willing to hit, the other willing to be hit"?

Zhao Zian went home.

He went into the kitchen, started a fire, and set up the medicine pot.

"Zi'an, you're back?"

Li Suqin stood at the kitchen door.

"Sister-in-law."

Zhao Zian nodded.

"How is Hongyun?"

"Still the same as always, asleep. He just talks in his sleep occasionally, like he's been startled."

"Is the medicine almost ready?"

Zhao Zian lifted the lid of the jar and stirred it.

"alright."

Zhao Zian used a cloth to cushion his hands, took the medicine pot off the table, and poured the medicine into a bowl.

"Zi'an."

"Um?"

"I need to hurry up and make some dinner, otherwise everyone will go hungry later."

Li Suqin looked completely at ease.

"Please give this medicine to Hongyun. She's weak right now, so she needs to drink it while it's hot."

Zhao Zian was taken aback.

"Sister-in-law, isn't this... inconvenient?"

What kind of talk would it be if word got out that a grown man like him was feeding medicine to his unmarried sister-in-law?

"Is there anything inconvenient?"

Li Suqin's eyes widened.

"You're the doctor, she's the patient! Besides, you saved Hongyun's life; you're like a second parent to her. Why bother with these formalities?"

"Go quickly, don't let the medicine get cold. I'm going to cook!"

Zhao Zian stood still.

Sister-in-law, is this... done on purpose?

Fine, let's see this through to the end.

The room was dimly lit.

Li Hongyun lay on the bed, her breathing steady.

Zhao Zian picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of medicine, and blew on it.

The girl on the bed trembled.

Li Hongyun woke up.

She tried to sit up, but her body felt limp and she couldn't muster any strength.

The noise startled Zhao Zian.

Eyes facing each other.

"You're awake?"

"Brother Zhao... Brother Zhao..."

Li Hongyun's cheeks flushed.

"How are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Zhao Zian asked.

"No... much better..."

Li Hongyun lowered her eyes, not daring to look at him anymore.

Those embarrassing moments before I fell into a coma are slowly returning to me.

She shamelessly kissed him!

God!

What did she do?!
