Her words brushed against my ear, carrying a warmth.

Su Qingwan's face was close to his, her eyelashes brushed against his, her breath fell on his chin, and she exuded that irresistible scent that only a mature woman could have.

Lu Yunzhou gritted his teeth, the veins in his neck taut, refusing to lower his head.

He can't let this woman get him.

Just then, two short, sharp blasts of a horn sounded outside the door, abruptly severing the ambiguous atmosphere in the living room.

Su Qingwan stopped moving.

She looked up towards the gate, her phoenix eyes narrowed, and she uttered a single word: "Annoying."

She loosened her fingers from her tie, took a half step back, looked Lu Yunzhou up and down, curled her red lips, and said with impatience, "You really wore me out that night, so today you're punished by going to the kitchen to make me breakfast. Be quick about it."

Lu Yunzhou relaxed completely, tugged at his collar, and turned to walk towards the kitchen, tripping over a sofa leg in his haste.

A soft hum came from behind, a hum that sounded like a laugh.

Entering the kitchen, Lu Yunzhou leaned against the counter and let out a long sigh of relief.

My heart was still pounding in my chest, and the burning sensation was taking a long time to subside.

He was frying eggs and toasting bread, his hands moving mechanically, but he couldn't shake the image of Su Qingwan leaning over to him earlier from his mind.

He shook his head, his gaze falling on the carton of milk on the stove.

Feeling hot all over, he suddenly had a bold idea.

He glanced towards the living room to make sure Su Qingwan wasn't looking this way, and then put his bold idea of ​​starting at three years into action.

About ten minutes later.

Lu Yunzhou came out carrying a tray with milk and bread neatly arranged on the coffee table.

There was another person in the living room.

A man in his forties, wearing a white coat and gold-rimmed glasses, stood upright, carrying an aluminum medicine box.

After entering the room, he glanced around and his gaze lingered on Su Qingwan for a moment before he bowed and said, "Good morning, Madam Su. Today is your routine medical check-up."

Su Qingwan slumped on the sofa, her silk robe half-open, legs crossed, one hand resting on the armrest, her eyelids barely open: "Hurry up, I'm in a rush."

The man's Adam's apple bobbed, his gaze lingered on her for less than a second before shifting away. He adjusted his glasses and said, "Yes, Mrs. Su, please lie down so we can take your blood pressure and pulse."

He crouched down, opened the medicine box, and took out the equipment with nimble movements, but his knuckles stiffened when his hand touched Su Qingwan's wrist.

Su Qingwan remained expressionless throughout, acting as if she were doing a boring chore.

Lu Yunzhou stood aside, observing these details.

The physical examination ended a dozen minutes later.

The man closed his medicine box and stood up: "Mrs. Su, your vital signs are slowly recovering, but you can't stop taking the medicine. You have to take it until you are fully recovered."

Su Qingwan sat up and pinched her brow: "Li Fengnian, why do I feel increasingly tired these past few days?"

"It's probably because you've been working too hard lately."

Li Fengnian took out a beautifully packaged box of medicine from the medicine cabinet and handed it over with both hands. "This is a three-day supply, imported targeted repair medicine, 500,000 yuan."

"I'll transfer the money to your card later."

"Thank you, Mrs. Su. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Lu Yunzhou listened from the side and cursed inwardly.

Five hundred thousand for three days' worth of medicine? What the hell?

However, he also noticed something amiss.

"Mr. Su," he began, "I studied some traditional Chinese medicine before, would you like me to take your pulse?"

He spoke casually, but what he was really thinking about was that 500,000.

If he weren't after that money, he wouldn't care whether Su Qingwan lived or died.

Su Qingwan turned her head to look at him, raising an eyebrow: "You have this skill?"

"I know a little."

Su Qingwan did not refuse and extended her wrist.

Li Fengnian, who was about to leave, paused, turned around, and his gaze behind his glasses swept over Lu Yunzhou's face, causing the corners of his mouth to turn down.

"Young man, the world now recognizes evidence-based medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is no longer widely believed. Why are you studying this at such a young age..."

"Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it."

Lu Yunzhou spoke in a flat tone.

"snort!"

Li Fengnian turned to Su Qingwan and said, "Madam Su, please don't believe in any folk remedies or unorthodox methods. If the initial treatment plan is disrupted, not only will it be a waste of effort, but if you eat something wrong and it damages your health, I can't bear the consequences."

Su Qingwan did not express her opinion.

"Mr. Su, may I take a look at the medicine he prescribed?"

Lu Yunzhou asked.

"See?"

Su Qingwan pushed the medicine box forward.

Lu Yunzhou reached for it, and Li Fengnian's expression immediately changed, his voice rising: "What do you mean? You suspect I prescribed fake medicine for Madam Su?"

"I didn't say it was fake medicine. What's wrong with just checking? Or are you feeling guilty?"

Li Fengnian glared at him, pointing his finger at his own nose: "Ridiculous! I've been practicing medicine in Sheng'an City for twenty years, a specially appointed expert at three top-tier hospitals, and one wall of my office is covered with banners of appreciation. What gives you, a mere brat, the right to question me!"

"Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Yunzhou opened the medicine box, took out a pill, and threw it into his mouth.

He has to taste it to determine the ingredients.

"Do you...do you even know how much this costs?!"

Li Fengnian's voice cracked.

Su Qingwan frowned, her displeasure evident in Lu Yunzhou's actions: "You scoundrel, you can't even give a straight answer. This box of medicine will be deducted from your salary."

Lu Yunzhou ignored him and took a sip of the pill.

The medicine shell dissolves, and the ingredients gradually spread onto the tongue.

The pharmacological knowledge from the Shennong chapter in my mind was automatically compared, and the names and effects of several raw materials were listed one by one.

He spat the dregs into his palm and sneered, "Pah. This stuff is just a few dollars' worth of calcium tablets and vitamins, coated with a sleeping pill coating. You call this curing an illness?"

Li Fengnian's face drained of color, and beads of sweat streamed down his forehead. He stubbornly retorted, "You're talking nonsense! This is a patented drug developed by a top international pharmaceutical company. Who are you trying to frame by spouting such rubbish?"

"Send it to a testing agency and let them see who's lying."

Lu Yunzhou stared at him.

Li Fengnian's lips trembled slightly, and he quickly turned to Su Qingwan: "Madam Su, please don't listen to this boy's nonsense, I am..."

Su Qingwan didn't let him finish speaking.

She glanced at Lu Yunzhou, then at Li Fengnian.

Li Fengnian's forehead was sweating, his eyes were unfocused, and he could barely stand.

"Alright."

Su Qingwan spoke, her tone indifferent, "Dr. Li, you can go back now. I'll transfer the money to you as usual."

Li Fengnian was stunned for a moment, then thanked him repeatedly, picked up his medicine box, rushed to the door, and disappeared in a flash.

Lu Yunzhou stood there, his face full of confusion.

It's obvious they could tell, so why did they let them go?

Should we still pay?

"President Su, I..."

"You bastard."

Su Qingwan leaned back on the sofa, her phoenix eyes half-closed, a cold glint in her eyes. "Trying to show off your abilities in front of me?"

"I just don't want to see you waste your money."

"It's my money, I can spend it however I want."

She glanced at Lu Yunzhou. "Feeling sorry for him?"
