Shi Yurou hesitated for a moment, then finally smiled gently: "Actually, I don't really care about the amount of money. The most important thing is this illness. If this troublesome disease can really be cured, I'd be willing to pay at least five hundred taels of gold, let alone one hundred."

Such magnanimity! He's truly a wealthy man who doesn't treat gold as mere sustenance.

"Then let's do this—we'll treat the illness first, then pay. We can pay later once the treatment is effective or the patient is cured," Gu Feng suggested.

"Okay." Shi Yurou immediately made the decision.

"Shall we start now?" Gu Feng asked her.

"Okay, whatever the doctor says, we'll do." Shi Yurou had a gentle and agreeable demeanor.

"Wait a minute," Su Man'er suddenly spoke up, "I'll go upstairs to tidy up first, and make room for you, okay?"

Although she didn't know exactly what illness Shi Yurou had, since it was an illness, she would most likely need to get it checked!

Whenever there's an examination, you have to lie down.

There are three rooms on the first floor: one is her and Gu Feng's bedroom, one is a study, which is the room Gu Feng used to sleep in, and the other is a guest room, but in reality, she and Gu Feng have long regarded it as a certain unspeakable place.

She didn't want these beds to be casually used by strange women.

What if this seemingly dignified and noble woman unfortunately suffers from some kind of scourge? So, she spoke up first.

Although Gu Feng couldn't fully understand Su Man'er's little thoughts, he nodded in agreement.

Shi Yurou had already stood up and said gently, "Doctor, let me lend you a hand."

"No need, no need. You're a guest, please sit down. I'm quick, I'll get everything ready in a bit," Su Man'er quickly waved her hand.

"It's alright, I'm not that delicate." Shi Yurou said, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't really help much—the dull pain in her abdomen had begun to rise.

She just wanted to avoid it and didn't want to be alone with Gu Feng.

The thought of facing this man alone made her inexplicably nervous.

Although she was no longer a naive girl and was even much older than Gu Feng, and was never shy in social situations, for some reason, Gu Feng always gave her a feeling of almost cold seriousness.

This was probably related to the examination at the gynecology clinic of the Municipal People's Hospital that day—he knew full well how much pain touching that nodule would cause her, yet he still pressed it down steadily twice without hesitation.

She understood that it was necessary for examination and diagnosis; but despite understanding, she still unconsciously equated Gu Feng with cruelty and coldness.

Therefore, she felt an indescribable pressure whenever she was with him, and always felt that it was better not to be alone with him unless necessary.

Su Man'er declined repeatedly, but seeing that Shi Yurou still insisted gently, she had no choice but to give in.

However, he found himself developing a growing fondness for this woman.

Just now, outside the courtyard gate, she had already seen the car that Shi Yurou had driven – an Aston Martin worth over three million.

The woman's clothes and overall demeanor exuded an air of sophistication.

Yet this person, whose background was clearly extraordinary, was willing to lower himself and help her clean the house, unlike other women who, upon seeing a handsome young man like Gu Feng, would cling to him like flies to honey.

These days, it's rare to find a woman like Shi Yurou who is wealthy, elegant, and approachable, yet has no airs or temper.

Gu Feng and Su Man'er always lived on the first floor, leaving the second floor vacant.

Although no one has ever lived there, it has never been dusty.

Su Man'er is currently unemployed at home. Apart from spending some energy playing with Gu Feng, she has almost nothing to do.

So every day or two, she would meticulously clean from the third floor all the way down to the first floor, making the little apartment spotless and clean.

What she meant by "tidying up" was simply replacing the bedding on the bed with brand new ones.

The two women had a brief moment to talk while changing the sheets and blankets.

"Doctor, I haven't asked your name yet," Shi Yurou asked with a smile.

"My name is Su Man'er. My older sister is older than me, so you can just call me Man'er from now on."

Although Su Man'er liked the title "Doctor Sister," the other person was clearly older than her, and it wasn't right to take advantage of her like this.

"Man'er, hello. My surname is Shi, and my name is Yu Rou." Shi Yu Rou introduced herself in a natural and generous manner, then smiled slightly, "If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Rou. Regardless of whether this illness can be cured or not, I think we can become friends. If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't have found this place."

"I think so too. Sister Rou, you don't need to be so polite. Just rest assured, Gu Feng is very capable. Several of my sisters' chronic illnesses were cured by him. He has treated so many diseases and has never made a mistake. Last night, he even performed surgery on someone."

When Su Man'er was helping her man with his business, she couldn't hide her pride. But as she spoke, she noticed Shi Yurou's face growing paler and paler, and fine beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead!

"Sister Rou, are you feeling unwell?"

"Mmm." Shi Yurou nodded weakly.

That persistent abdominal pain has started again.

"Then lie down quickly," Su Man'er hurriedly helped her up.

"Thank you, Sister Man'er." Shi Yurou did not refuse, leaning softly against the headboard, frowning and sighing softly, "I also hope that the doctor can really cure me. Then I won't have to suffer the pain of surgery anymore."

She was actually very anxious and uncertain. She couldn't figure out whether she was going crazy or just having a momentary mental breakdown by asking a medical student who hadn't even graduated yet to come to her clinic.

But that day in the gynecology clinic of the People's Hospital, she truly felt that this doctor was extraordinary and seemed to be extremely proficient in traditional Chinese medicine.

When I asked for his phone number, I was probably already planning this day.

Even now, she still can't understand why she trusted a man who might not even be twenty years old.

"Don't worry, he'll definitely find a way." Su Man'er's confidence in Gu Feng was always overflowing.

But she also knew that she couldn't force this confidence on Shi Yurou.

"I believe it too. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to try." Shi Yurou forced a smile through her worries, but her hands had already unconsciously covered her lower abdomen tightly.

Clearly, the pain was unbearable.

"Sister Rou, why don't you lie down for a bit? I'll go and call him up. I'll prepare lunch. Why don't you stay home for lunch today?" Su Man'er's invitation came from the bottom of her heart and was not an attempt to curry favor with anyone rich or powerful.

It was Shi Yurou's delicate and pitiful demeanor that made Su Man'er want to get closer to her.

"Ah? Man'er, aren't you here with me?" Shi Yurou's expression changed slightly, and she immediately tensed up again.

Perhaps it was because they were kindred spirits, but she and Su Man'er felt an instant connection and clicked.

"There's nothing I can do to help here. Don't worry, Gu Feng is not only a good doctor, but also a good man. He will treat you with all his heart."

Su Man'er gently patted her hand, made an encouraging gesture, and then turned and left.

When Gu Feng pushed the door open, Shi Yurou was already in so much pain that she could hardly bear it. Her forehead was damp with cold sweat, and strands of hair clung to her cheeks, giving her a sickly pale appearance, yet also a captivating charm unique to mature women.

Seeing her like this, Gu Feng asked, "Is your stomach hurting again?"

"Hmm." Shi Yurou nodded reluctantly, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked hesitantly, "Do we... need to check again?"

"There's no need for an examination."

As soon as Gu Feng said this, Shi Yurou felt a huge weight lifted from her heart and let out a long sigh of relief.

But before she could finish exhaling, Gu Feng's next sentence made her gasp sharply, her heart leaping into her throat—"However, you still have to take your clothes off."

Shi Yurou's heart jolted, and she felt as if she had been seized by something. Her whole body tensed up, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
