Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 524 - 527 Over Rice

As soon as Lu Shuangyue spoke, Liu Ergou's smile vanished.

The two stared at each other, their gazes locked for nearly a full minute.

Finally, Liu Ergou said through gritted teeth, "Are you questioning my stamina?"

"Lu Shuangyue, you of all people should know whether I can handle it or not!"

"If you're not sure, you can test me right now!"

Without giving Lu Shuangyue a chance to respond, Liu Ergou hoisted her onto his shoulder and started walking toward the door.

This gave Lu Shuangyue a terrible fright.

"Er Gou, put me down! Stop messing around, when did I ever question you?"

"I was just curious, that's all! Just asking!"

"Let me go! We're in the factory! If anyone sees this, I'll be utterly humiliated!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou huffily put her down.

He then asked sulkily, "So, still doubting my... capabilities?"

Lu Shuangyue immediately shook her head.

"I don't doubt it, I don't doubt it!"

"Besides, I never really doubted you. I was just a little curious. Look at you, getting so angry over nothing!"

At this, Lu Shuangyue's tone shifted, and she suddenly added, "By the way, Er Gou, I am a bit curious. Who are these dozen or so women? Can you tell me?"

Hearing her question, Liu Ergou didn't answer immediately, instead giving her a suspicious look.

"Shuang Yue, are you saying you won't be angry that I have so many women?" Liu Ergou asked, skeptical.

Lu Shuangyue shook her head.

"Sigh, it'd be a lie to say I'm not angry. But what's done is done. What good would being angry do now?"

"Besides, given the current situation, if I were the only one, I'd probably be run ragged!"

"So why wouldn't I be happy to have others share the burden?"

After listening to her, Liu Ergou nodded and took her hand to leave the factory.

But after just a few steps, Lu Shuangyue pulled her hand away.

"Hey, wait, Er Gou! Where do you think you're going?" Lu Shuangyue said with displeasure. "You still haven't answered my question. Who are these dozen or so women?"

"Don't think you can just dodge this question. You're not getting out of it!"

"Spill it! Now!"

With that, Lu Shuangyue crossed her arms and stared intently at Liu Ergou.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou knew he couldn't evade the question any longer. He could only start counting them off on his fingers.

"Alright, let me tell you slowly. First, there's you. Then there's Liu Yunxi…"

Liu Ergou rattled on, listing one name after another.

Lu Shuangyue's eyes went wide as she listened. Some of them she knew, and some she didn't.

What surprised her the most was that among the women she recognized, several had only met Liu Ergou once. Yet, after a single meeting, they had become his women.

This is just too unbelievable.

While Lu Shuangyue was still in shock, Liu Ergou had reached the end of his list.

"And finally, there's Zhao Xuelan and Leng Shasha. That's the last two. That's everyone!"

After speaking, Liu Ergou fell silent.

However, upon hearing those last two names, Lu Shuangyue's brow furrowed.

She then asked, "Er Gou, are you sure you're done?"

"Somehow, I feel like you're not finished. It seems like you left someone out. Fess up!"

"If you tell me now, I can pretend nothing happened. But if you wait for me to say it, things will get ugly!"

Lu Shuangyue's words made Liu Ergou's heart sink.

She wasn't wrong. He had indeed intentionally left one person out.

And that person was none other than Lu Shuangyue's own aunt, Lu Xiaoyu.

The reason for the omission was obvious.

Liu Ergou swallowed hard, then said with forced certainty, "Shuang Yue, it's just those women. I've told you everyone. How could I have possibly left someone out?"

"You have to trust me. In all this time, have I ever lied to you? You know what kind of person I am, don't you?" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The moment Liu Ergou finished, Lu Shuangyue let out a cold laugh.

Staring daggers at him, she said coldly, "Oh, Er Gou, you must really take me for an idiot. Setting up Baozhi Hall was a bumpy ride, and yes, I had to rely on a lot of family resources, but that doesn't mean I'm brainless! Since you're so determined to play dumb, don't blame me for being blunt."

Lu Shuangyue paused, her expression turning serious again before she continued.

"I know both Leng Shasha and Zhao Xuelan! They're my aunt's best friends—the three of them are extremely close.

"So here's the question: based on your social circle, it's impossible for you to have met them. So how did they end up as your women?

"The only possible answer is that my aunt introduced you!

"And if they're your women now, there's no way my aunt got away unscathed!

"I'm right, aren't I, Liu Ergou?"

Her brilliant deduction left Liu Ergou utterly dumbstruck.

She hadn't gotten a single detail wrong.

At that moment, Liu Ergou suspected Lu Shuangyue had become some kind of sentient surveillance camera, as if she had witnessed everything firsthand.

Seeing his expression, Lu Shuangyue scoffed again.

"Hmph. Looks like I was right on the money, wasn't I, Liu Ergou?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou had nothing to say and could only give a silly, embarrassed chuckle.

Watching his foolish grin, a wave of fury washed over Lu Shuangyue, and she gave him a vicious kick.

"Liu Ergou! I never knew you were this kind of person!"

"Not only did you deceive me, but you also made a move on my aunt!"

"You've gone too far!"

"Tell the truth! Were you planning to get us both?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou frantically explained, "No, no! How could I have been thinking about... that!"

"It's just… while I was treating your aunt's illness, things got out of hand!"

"And then… well, it's all my fault!"

Seeing Liu Ergou like this, Lu Shuangyue wanted to say more, but she just opened and closed her mouth before letting out a long sigh.

"Sigh… forget it. There's no use saying anything more."

"Since things have already come to this, it's impossible for me to back out now."

"Er Gou, from now on, you better treat my aunt right!"

Saying this, Lu Shuangyue stood on her tiptoes and patted Liu Ergou's shoulder with the air of a wise elder, then said no more.

Liu Ergou, however, was a bit slow to react.

After a few seconds, it finally dawned on him.

Lu Shuangyue... wasn't angry with him anymore?!
