Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 522 - 525: Anger Leads to Wrinkles

Upon hearing Mi Xiaoying's words, Liu Ergou immediately looked at her. Seeing his gaze, she stuck out her tongue and said sheepishly, "It's about that Traditional Chinese Medicine Association thing from before."

"I already..." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Before Mi Xiaoying could finish, Liu Ergou cut her off. "Just forget about it. It's not a big deal."

"It didn't cause me any real trouble," he added. With that, he stood up and headed for the door. "I've got something to take care of. As you both heard, I need to step out for a bit. I'll be back later."

"I'm off!"

By the time he finished speaking, Liu Ergou was already out the door. He headed to the hotel parking garage, got into his new car, and drove off.

Back in the hotel room, Mi Xiaoying stared at the closed door and couldn't help but turn to He Mingxue.

"Mingxue, is Er Gou angry?" she asked.

He Mingxue, who had just woken up, had no idea what had just happened. She heard Mi Xiaoying's question, and a look of utter confusion crossed her face.

Seeing her expression, Mi Xiaoying slapped her own forehead in exasperation. I knew I shouldn't have asked her.

Meanwhile, Liu Ergou had driven up to Baozhi Hall. The moment he arrived, he spotted Lu Shuangyue standing by the entrance, seemingly waiting for someone. A bold idea suddenly struck him. He slammed on the brakes, stopping his car right in front of her. Deliberately deepening his voice, he said, "Hey beautiful, what are you doing out here all alone?"

"It's so hot today, why not come cool off in my car?

"This is a Land Rover, pretty cool, right? Come on, get in for a ride!"

Lu Shuangyue, who was waiting for Liu Ergou, frowned at his words. "No thanks, I'm waiting for someone." She walked away from his car and found a different spot to continue waiting.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou immediately drove up to her again. "Come on, beautiful! Humor me!" he pleaded. "Get in, I'll take you for a spin!"

This time, Lu Shuangyue simply ignored him, frowning as she moved to yet another spot.

Liu Ergou repeated the maneuver. This time, however, Lu Shuangyue's patience had run out. Staring at the Land Rover, she frowned and said in an icy tone, "Sir, please stop harassing me.

"I have already clearly rejected you. If you bother me one more time, I'm calling the police!

"Do you understand? If you do, then leave. Now!"

Seeing she was on the verge of real anger, Liu Ergou knew he couldn't continue the joke. He quickly rolled down the window, smiling at her. "Shuang Yue, it's me! You couldn't tell?"

At the sight of Liu Ergou, Lu Shuangyue first froze in surprise, then rolled her eyes in a massive display of exasperation. Without a word, she yanked open the passenger door and slid in.

The moment she sat down, she huffed, "Hmph, Er Gou, you're so childish! Playing such a lame prank on me!"

Liu Ergou just smiled without saying anything. Seeing him just sitting there grinning, Lu Shuangyue couldn't resist giving him a light punch on the chest. "Hmph, all you do is laugh!"

"But seriously," she continued, her tone shifting, "this is a nice car. You're a boss now, so it's about time you bought one.

"It suits you.

"Alright, enough talk. Let's go check out the factory I bought."

Without hesitation, Liu Ergou started the car. Following Lu Shuangyue's directions, they left.

Soon, they had left the city and arrived at an industrial park in the suburbs, where Liu Ergou pulled over. They both got out and headed into the factory complex. As they walked, Lu Shuangyue began her tour.

"Ergou, this is the complex I just purchased. The location is a bit remote, but the price was great.

"Plus, the previous owner also produced cosmetics, so it already has assembly lines. We just need to modify them slightly, and they'll be ready to use. It'll save us a ton on costs."

She continued explaining as they walked deeper into the facility. "We've already produced several samples and sent them out for testing to ensure they meet regulations.

"They'll be ready to launch very soon!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou couldn't stop nodding. "Amazing, just amazing! Shuang Yue, you're incredible! I swear, if I didn't have you, I'd probably be paralyzed on the spot! You've worked so hard these past few days, handling everything by yourself."

But Lu Shuangyue was clearly not satisfied with his praise. "Liu Ergou, what's that supposed to mean?

"You think a few compliments are enough to cover it?

"Do I look like I need your empty praise?"

Her words left Liu Ergou frozen, completely at a loss. He genuinely didn't understand what she was getting at and was afraid to say the wrong thing.

Seeing him just standing there looking dumbfounded, she stomped her foot in frustration. "Liu Ergou, have you gotten dumber since the last time I saw you?!

"Don't you dare tell me you don't know what I mean!"

Seeing how genuinely angry she was, Liu Ergou didn't dare pretend and quickly nodded.

"Uh, Shuang Yue... I really don't get it," he admitted.

"Honestly, just tell me straight. Given our relationship, there's no need to beat around the bush."

"ARGH! I'm going to kill you! You infuriating man!" Lu Shuangyue yelled, pointing a finger at him. "Do I really have to spell everything out for you?!

"I want a reward! A reward! Do you get it now?! A reward!"

Hearing her repeat the word "reward" three times finally knocked some sense into him. So that's what this was all about.

He slapped his own forehead. How could I be so dense? It was so simple. No wonder she's furious. Come to think of it, it has been a long time since Shuang Yue and I... properly connected. I should use this chance to fix that.

Having figured it out, Liu Ergou immediately pulled her into his arms, holding her close. He began to comfort her, his voice soft and gentle.

"Oh, Shuang Yue, of course I knew what you meant," he whispered.

"I just thought it wasn't the right place to talk about it. I was going to wait until we got back.

"Look at you, getting all worked up again over nothing.

"I told you before, getting angry gives you wrinkles!"
