Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 711 - 714: Confusion

Upon hearing Liu Ergou agree, Lu Xiaoyu cheerfully consented and then hung up the phone.

Liu Ergou climbed out of bed, sighed, and helplessly put on his clothes. Liu Yunxi and Mi Xiaoying watched him, a hint of regret in their eyes.

"Alas, I thought we could have had more time today. I can't believe it's been less than an hour," Liu Yunxi said, her face full of regret. "I haven't seen you in so long, sigh..."

Seeing her sigh, Liu Ergou felt a pang of heartache. But he couldn't go back on a promise, not even for his women. With this thought, he lowered his head and planted a heavy kiss on Liu Yunxi's cheek.

"Come on, Yun Xi, don't be sad," he said. "I'll come find you as soon as I'm done with my business. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll be in the village for a good long while. You can even move in with me then if you like!"

Seeing her chance, Mi Xiaoying immediately pouted. "What about me? You've forgotten me! Er Gou!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou laughed heartily, turned, and planted another firm kiss on Mi Xiaoying's face. "I could never forget you, Xiao Ying. Just come over whenever you're not busy! In a little over a month, my house should be mostly renovated. It'll have everything. I won't have any problem with all of you moving in!"

Liu Yunxi and Mi Xiaoying both rolled their eyes at his words before getting dressed. Meanwhile, Liu Ergou left and headed straight for the city.

Fearing Lu Xiaoyu was growing anxious, Liu Ergou drove very fast the entire way, keeping the car right on the verge of the speed limit.

While Liu Ergou was rushing toward Lu Xiaoyu's house, someone had already arrived ahead of him. At that moment, this person was sitting with Lu Xiaoyu. Looking at Lu Xiaoyu, who sat opposite her, the woman's face was a mask of impatience.

She first glanced at her watch, then back at Lu Xiaoyu. "Look, Xiaoyu, isn't this person taking an awfully long time? It's been over half an hour since you called. Why isn't he here yet? Do you have any idea how valuable my time is? I've been delayed here for so long!"

Lu Xiaoyu frowned at the woman and took a deep breath to suppress her own irritation. "Please, Sister Manxuan, don't be in such a hurry. I told you, Er Gou's home is quite far from here, a two or three-hour drive. You're the one who arrived early. I was originally planning for us all to go to a hotel tonight to eat and talk, but since you came so early, I had no choice but to call him over ahead of schedule!"

Hearing this, the woman gave a disdainful snort and said nothing more, simply sitting there to wait.

「Two hours later, the doorbell at Lu Xiaoyu's house rang.」

At the sound, Lu Xiaoyu shot up from the sofa and hurried to the door. "He's here! He must be here!" she said as she walked. "I'll get it now!"

She reached the entrance and pulled the door open. It swung wide to reveal Liu Ergou standing there, gasping for breath.

"Xiaoyu, I'm here! Sorry, there was some traffic, so I might have taken a while!" Liu Ergou said as he walked into the living room.

The moment he entered, his gaze immediately fell upon the woman sitting on the sofa. She was exceptionally beautiful, with a mature charm, and she was dressed elegantly in brands Liu Ergou had never seen before. Moreover, she wore a pair of white lace stockings. They added a unique charm, although they seemed a little out of sync with her age, they were all the more enticing for it.

Lu Xiaoyu noticed Liu Ergou staring intently at the woman and quickly made the introduction. "Er Gou, this is the person I told you about, the one from Jingdu who wanted to see you. She's also my friend, Shen Manxuan!"

After the introduction, Liu Ergou nodded, walked over, and sat down opposite Shen Manxuan. He was about to greet her when he was struck by a sense of familiarity. It's as if I've seen her somewhere before.

This puzzled him. He meticulously reviewed all the women he knew in his mind, but ultimately couldn't recall ever seeing her. He found it very strange.

Strange or not, Liu Ergou still offered a greeting. "Hello, Miss Shen Manxuan. I'm Liu Ergou. Xiaoyu told me you wanted to see me. May I ask what this is about? If I recall correctly, I don't believe we know each other. Actually, I'm certain we've never met."

Shen Manxuan, sitting opposite him, frowned at his words. From the moment Liu Ergou had walked in, she had clearly felt his gaze fixed on her, his eyes never leaving her body for a second. This annoyed her greatly. She had never encountered a man who could stare at someone so intensely for so long.

"Hmph!" Shen Manxuan snorted coldly and turned her head away in disgust.

This left the already confused Liu Ergou even more baffled. What on earth is up with this woman? She said she wanted to meet me, yet she looks so disgusted. Is there something wrong with her head?

With this thought, Liu Ergou instinctively scooted closer to Lu Xiaoyu. Then, in a voice only the two of them could hear, he whispered, "Hey, Xiaoyu, what's going on? Are you sure this woman is alright? Why would she ask to see me and then act so disgusted?"

Lu Xiaoyu didn't answer him, offering only an embarrassed smile. She turned to Shen Manxuan and said, "Sister Manxuan, the person you wanted to see is here now. If there's something you want to discuss, please just say it. It's really not very polite to sit here in silence. Besides, Er Gou is genuinely busy. It wasn't easy for him to come here at all."

Hearing Lu Xiaoyu's words, Shen Manxuan finally turned her head back impatiently to look at Liu Ergou.

Then, in a condescending tone, she said, "So, you're Liu Ergou."
