Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 528 - 531: You Seem Like a Scumbag

Looking at Mi Xiaoying in his arms, Liu Ergou was finding it hard to control himself.

Just as he was preparing to take further action, he was stopped by Mi Xiaoying.

"Er Gou, what are you trying to do?" Mi Xiaoying said with a smile. "You can't mess around; we came here to get work done! Did you hear me? Help me down!"

Mi Xiaoying's reminder brought Liu Ergou back to his senses. I came here to select rough stones, not to get romantic with Mi Xiaoying.

Thinking of the work that awaited him, Liu Ergou couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Work is such a pain.

But despite his grumbling, Liu Ergou quickly adjusted his attitude. He wrapped his arm around Mi Xiaoying's waist, and under her guidance, they walked over to a new batch of rough stones.

Mi Xiaoying pointed at the stones and said, "Er Gou, this is a new batch of rough stones. You pick the ones with jade in them."

Liu Ergou nodded. "Okay, I got it."

"I've told you before, the stones I pick usually contain bean-type jade, and the worst quality at that. They won't sell for much," he explained. "However, I'll mix in some ice-type jade. I'm sure you know why."

Mi Xiaoying nodded to show she understood. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Without further delay, Liu Ergou began selecting the rough stones containing jade. He spent the entire afternoon working tirelessly. Although he was only checking for the presence of jade, the workload was still substantial. By the time evening rolled around, even with his physique strengthened by cultivation, Liu Ergou was exhausted.

However, looking at the piles of selected stones behind him, he nodded with satisfaction. He had to admit, the quality of Mi Xiaoying's new batch was quite good. Liu Ergou hadn't counted them, but most of the stones contained bean-type jade. There were also a dozen or so with ice-type jade, and even one or two with the rare glass-type jade.

Looking at the batch, Liu Ergou said, "Xiao Ying, I've finished. This batch has bean-type, ice-type, and even glass-type jade. This should be enough for you for a while, right?"

But Mi Xiaoying shook her head. "It's not enough, Er Gou!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou let out a wail of despair. "You can't be serious! How can this not be enough? I'd guess there's over a ton here! And besides, these are for the free giveaway promotion. How can it not be enough?"

Mi Xiaoying just smiled and explained, "Er Gou, you're not thinking about how big our gimmick is! A full refund if no jade is found… think about it. Who could resist that temptation? Plus, we've been closed for a few days. The moment we reopen…"

Liu Ergou understood before she even finished. This means I have to work overtime. It's as simple as that.

Liu Ergou had a policy of always refusing overtime. Furthermore, he had plans with Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear tonight, so working late was completely out of the question. Just as Liu Ergou was plotting how to ditch work and escape, Mi Xiaoying seemed to sense his thoughts. Before he could make a move, she stepped forward, hugged him tightly, and began to plead coquettishly.

"Er Gou~ Please work just a little longer~ Pretty please? Look, I'm your girlfriend now. My company is your company. Can you really bear to watch your own company go under?"

Liu Ergou barely held his ground against her coquettish assault. Just as he gritted his teeth, ready to refuse her, Mi Xiaoying suddenly leaned close and whispered something in his ear.

After her whisper, Liu Ergou's eyes, which had been dull with exhaustion, suddenly lit up. He immediately pulled out his phone and called Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear. He told them he had to work overtime at Ting Tian Pavilion tonight—serious overtime—so he had to cancel their date. Fearing they wouldn't believe him, he even sent them a photo of himself at work.

Lu Shuangyue and Orange Bear didn't say much and agreed to his request.

And so, Liu Ergou began his grueling overtime shift. The work lasted deep into the night, with Mi Xiaoying staying by his side the entire time, silently keeping him company.

Finally, around 3 a.m., Liu Ergou was done. He stood up and gave a huge stretch, intending to call Mi Xiaoying to go back to the office and sleep. But when he turned, he saw that she had already fallen asleep, her head resting on a nearby desk. She was sleeping so soundly that a little drool trickled from the corner of her mouth onto the tabletop.

Seeing her like this, Liu Ergou didn't have the heart to wake her. After a moment's thought, he scooped her up in a princess carry and took her back to the office to rest.

「Time flew, and before they knew it, it was noon.」

Liu Ergou woke up in bed with Mi Xiaoying still in his arms. Looking at the bright sky outside, he couldn't help but sigh. I am never, ever working overtime again. That nearly killed me.

With that thought, he lay back down, ready to catch a little more sleep. But just as he did, before he could even close his eyes, the soundly sleeping Mi Xiaoying stirred and woke up.

"Er Gou~" she called out in a sweet, tender voice.

Her voice sent a jolt of desire through Liu Ergou. Mi Xiaoying noticed, but instead of backing off, she doubled down, pressing her entire body against his. The sudden softness and a faint, sweet fragrance wafting into his nostrils was too much for Liu Ergou. He couldn't bear it any longer. In one swift motion, he rolled over and pinned Mi Xiaoying beneath him.

He growled menacingly, "Hmph, this is all your fault for making me work so late last night! Since what you promised couldn't happen then, I'm going to collect some interest right now. We can talk about everything else later! Today, you'll see how I deal with you!"

With a wicked chuckle, Liu Ergou no longer held back. Soon, the office became quite lively.

「Two hours passed in the blink of an eye.」

By now, Liu Ergou was fully dressed and composed. Mi Xiaoying, on the other hand, was sprawled on the bed like a puddle of melted jelly, completely motionless. Her face was flushed, and she stared blankly at the ceiling.

Just as Liu Ergou was about to leave the office, Mi Xiaoying finally spoke.

"Er Gou, I'm starting to think you're a bit of a scumbag!"
