Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 513 - 516: The Fire of the Bagua

As soon as the words were spoken, the room fell silent. A full minute passed before Mi Xiaoying finally broke the quiet, exclaiming in shock, "What do you mean, 'your boyfriend'? Er Gou is obviously my boyfriend!"

The moment she spoke, astonishment appeared on both of their faces. Then, in unison, they demanded, "What exactly is going on here?"

Seeing the two surprised women, Liu Ergou knew it was time for him to speak. If he didn't intervene now, things might just blow up. With that thought, he chuckled, stretched out his arms, and pulled both of them into his embrace.

Then, with a smug look, he said, "The situation is that you're both my girlfriends! Got it?"

Having said that, Liu Ergou tried to sit on the couch with both of them in his arms. However, they both struggled out of his embrace and turned to glare at him.

Again, in unison, they demanded, "Spill it! What exactly is going on?"

Seeing they were on the verge of losing it, Liu Ergou didn't hesitate. He gave each of them a firm slap on the bottom.

SLAP! SLAP!

After the two crisp sounds, both women instinctively covered their rears, looking at Liu Ergou with bashful eyes.

"What else could it be?" Liu Ergou said. "Didn't I already tell you? You're both my girlfriends! And since we have time tonight, we three should have a proper… 'chat,' so we can get on the same page about everything."

As he spoke of 'chatting', a knowing smile appeared on his face.

Mi Xiaoying and He Mingxue weren't fools. They naturally understood the meaning behind the smile on Er Gou's face, and they immediately blushed.

He Mingxue, even more shyly, stammered, "This… the two of us together… isn't that a bit much?"

Without even looking up, Liu Ergou replied, "So you're saying you think you can handle me alone?"

"If that's the case…"

He Mingxue cut him off before he could finish. "No, no, no! Alone? I'm afraid you're trying to kill me! Two is better. Let's just go with two!"

As she said this, He Mingxue seemed to remember something and smacked her forehead. "Ah, it just hit me!" she added. "Er Gou, that day you ran after me, saying you would help persuade Xiao Ying… you didn't, did you?"

Liu Ergou nodded. "It's exactly what you're thinking. The process was a bit complicated, but the outcome was good."

As soon as he finished, Mi Xiaoying chimed in, "Hey, honestly, I had no idea that was the situation. If I'd known, why would I have left? I would've just signed the contract! We're all family here, no need to act like separate parties!"

At the mention of "all family," the already shy He Mingxue became even more embarrassed.

Liu Ergou marveled to himself. The relationships between women are truly beyond my comprehension. Yesterday, they were mortal enemies in business, and today, they've become family without a hint of awkwardness. It's all so natural.

Thinking this, Liu Ergou scratched his head, then once again wrapped his arms around the two women's slender waists and sat them down on the couch with him. He then turned to Mi Xiaoying.

"Xiao Ying, tell me, how are the preparations for the Stone-Gambling Convention going?"

"Everything is arranged," Mi Xiaoying replied immediately. "Everyone who's supposed to be here has arrived. Plus, Sun Gang sent word that he guarantees he'll be there."

At this point, a worried look crossed her face. "Honestly, Er Gou, are you really completely confident about this convention?"

Liu Ergou puffed out his chest and slapped it firmly. "Of course! You can rest easy on that! You don't take on porcelain work if you don't have a diamond drill bit. Absolute confidence? I wouldn't dare claim that! If you bring me a pile of worthless rocks, not even the King of Heaven himself could do anything about it!"

Hearing this, Mi Xiaoying was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and giggled. "You and your smart mouth, Er Gou!" she said, feigning annoyance. "How could I possibly bring a pile of worthless rocks? If I did that, my reputation would be completely ruined!"

He Mingxue, listening to their exchange, was utterly befuddled. She had no idea what they were talking about. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and interrupted them.

"Wait a minute, you two! I don't understand a single thing you're saying. Who is Sun Gang? What is this Stone-Gambling Convention? And what's this about being a hundred percent sure? What is going on?"

Seeing He Mingxue's confused expression, Liu Ergou remained silent. Instead, it was Mi Xiaoying who spoke.

"Mingxue, do you know Sun Gang?"

He Mingxue nodded. "Of course, I do. You mean Sun Gang from the Sun Family, right?" She perked up at the mention of his name. "Let me tell you, that Sun Gang was pursuing me a while back. He even wanted to arrange a marriage alliance, but I turned him down."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou and Mi Xiaoying's interest was immediately piqued. They hadn't expected to stumble upon such juicy gossip. What a score! Their gossiping spirits burned brightly.

Mi Xiaoying pressed on, "And then what? You rejected him, and then?"

To her surprise, He Mingxue just shrugged. "There is no 'and then.' He left after I rejected him, and I haven't seen him since."

As soon as she said this, Mi Xiaoying slumped over, completely deflated. "Ugh, I was hoping for an interesting follow-up! That's it?"

However, Liu Ergou fell into deep thought after hearing He Mingxue's words.

While he was thinking, Mi Xiaoying recounted the entire story of what had happened between Er Gou and Sun Gang. He Mingxue listened with wide-eyed disbelief. She knew Sun Gang all too well, which was precisely why she had decisively rejected his advances. She was well aware that in the end, she would have been the one to lose out. What she hadn't expected was that while she had managed to avoid Sun Gang, Liu Ergou had not.

Just as He Mingxue was about to say something, the contemplative Liu Ergou suddenly spoke. "I think I forgot to tell you. Sun Gang has already made a move. He hired someone to assassinate me. If it weren't for my decent skills, you two probably wouldn't be seeing me now."

At his words, both He Mingxue and Mi Xiaoying's eyes widened in horror.
