The village beauty and me!

Chen Huan frowned. "Dr. Zhao, why have you been running into so much trouble lately?"

"Didn't you go on a house call today? Did you manage to make things worse again?"

Zhao Liping responded angrily, "Isn't it because you haven't taught enough?"

"I worked so hard to cooperate with you last night, but you only taught me a tiny bit."

"Now that I, the apprentice, am stuck with a difficult problem, isn't the master going to help?"

"If you don't do anything about it, don't even think about touching me again!"

"I won't let you enjoy the new position I learned either..."

The phone call was full of vulgar and offensive language.

Startled, Chen Huan quickly coughed twice. "Um, where are you? I happen to be free, I'll come help you right away."

"That's more like it. It's no wonder I've been so good to you." Zhao Liping's tone softened considerably.

Then he gave an address.

"In town?"

"Dr. Zhao, when did your business expand so much that several nearby villages can't accommodate you anymore?" Chen Huan couldn't help but tease him.

Zhao Liping has been incredibly busy these past few days, working from dawn till dusk, going everywhere to treat patients.

They said they were accumulating experience and capital, but the more trouble they encountered, the more problems they found.

Now that things have come to this, we can't just ignore it.

After memorizing the address, Chen Huan changed direction and headed straight for the town.

Who called you?

  

"You seem to know me quite well," Zhao Yaru asked slowly from the passenger seat.

Chen Huan coughed twice. "Well, I've taken on a female apprentice, and she's staying at our house."

You'll see it when you turn around.

Zhao Yaru didn't react for a moment, blinking her eyes curiously as she asked, "Taking on a female apprentice, and she'll live at your house?"

"Will I sleep in the same bed with you?"

Chen Huan grinned, "It's not what you think."

"She sleeps in the same room as you and my sister-in-law, while I sleep alone."

"Really?" Zhao Yaru said with a mocking expression.

She then added, "I think I heard this Dr. Zhao say on the phone just now, 'What new position will you try out tonight?'"

"What does this mean? Dr. Chen is playing some pretty fancy tricks."

Chen Huan felt depressed.

He secretly resented Zhao Liping for speaking without restraint, saying it really damaged his image.

"You must have misunderstood. Sometimes I don't have time during the day, so I teach him some traditional Chinese medicine techniques at night."

"They're talking about knowledge, yes, knowledge!" Chen Huan explained absentmindedly as he drove.

Fortunately, Zhao Yaru did not continue this awkward topic.

He leaned back lazily against the seat of the pickup truck, squinting at the scenery outside, lost in thought.

"What are you thinking about, girl?" Chen Huan asked, trying to ease the awkwardness by starting a conversation.

"Do you think my body can really recover to the state of a normal person?" Zhao Yaru asked slowly.

"What, you don't trust me?"

"Since I, Chen Huan, say I can cure it, then naturally there's no problem," Chen Huan replied casually.

Then he asked again, "You don't still have any emotional reservations about dual cultivation, do you?"

Zhao Yaru snorted coldly, "You know perfectly well what I'm asking."

"It's not that I look down on you, it's just... well, I've already made my decision anyway, so I'll accept letting you take advantage of me in order to save my life."

"I just want to ask, how many times does that dual cultivation require?"

Chen Huan held up one finger, grinning.

Zhao Yaru panicked immediately, "Keep doing it?"

Chen Huan clicked his tongue. "Do all the rich people in you city go to such lengths? Do you have so many thoughts on your minds?"

"I'm talking about once, just once is enough."

"Of course, if you get addicted and can't stop, and want to do it more often, I won't object."

Zhao Yaru blushed and angrily retorted, "Get lost! I won't!"

"Everything I did was to treat my illness, and I'm only staying alive so that my mother won't worry and my father won't have to bear the burden of the family business alone."

Chen Huan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm the one who's caught in the middle, I'm shameless, a scoundrel, and I want to take your body."

Zhao Yaru also seemed slightly apologetic, her tone softening considerably, "I didn't say that. I was just saying it in anger before. Now that I understand you better, haven't I?"

"Anyway, what's meant to happen will happen eventually, so it's good to be upfront about everything beforehand."

Next, Chen Huan indeed found that Zhao Yaru's mood was much more relaxed than before, as if she had come to terms with things.

They soon arrived in town and, following the address given by Zhao Liping, found themselves at a rather elegant and charming farmhouse on the outskirts of town.

The courtyard wall looks quite old, but it was clearly recently repaired.

Several cars, which looked quite impressive, were parked at the entrance.

Chen Huan didn't know much about these things.

But Zhao Yaru, who was sitting next to her, muttered, "I didn't expect that there would be such tasteful people living in this rural area."

Chen Huan blinked. "Is it because those cars are all luxury cars, and very valuable?"

Zhao Yaru clicked her tongue, "Don't always bring up money."

"The real value of those cars lies in their rarity; they are antique cars."

"Something money can't buy."

"The apprentice you took on has found a very powerful client. You might make a fortune this time."

Chen Huan pouted, "Just don't cause me any big trouble."

"Money doesn't really matter."

While we were talking, my phone rang again.

It was Zhao Liping again, her tone even more anxious than before, "Chen Huan, where are you? Why are you dawdling like this?"

"I can't hold on much longer, it'll be my turn soon."

Chen Huan frowned. "Your turn is coming up soon, what do you mean?"

"It's hard to explain in a short time. How long do you need?" Zhao Liping asked anxiously.

"I've arrived," Chen Huan said before hanging up the phone.

Then he casually parked the pickup truck next to those luxury cars.

Parking is not allowed here.

"Private property. If there's nothing else, get out of here!" Two burly men suddenly ran out from inside the door. Judging from their appearance, they were probably bodyguards or something similar.

They all had fierce expressions and extremely unfriendly attitudes.

He kept waving his hands, trying to drive Chen Huan away.

"I'm here to treat patients, not to have fun." Chen Huan was already annoyed by Zhao Liping's nagging, and seeing her bad attitude, he retorted.

Unexpectedly, this directly angered the other party.

One of them strode over and, through the car window, reached out his thick arm to grab Chen Huan by the collar.

"You're asking for it!"

He had barely uttered half a curse when Chen Huan grabbed his wrist in the next second.

With two snapping sounds, the burly man's arm was dislocated, twisted like a pretzel, and the pain almost made him faint.

"Let's talk this out. Even if you're just someone's watchdog, you should at least learn some manners, right?"

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Chen Huan continued to twist the other person's wrist, his tone full of admonition.
