Chapter 22 You Are My Woman Now
In the afternoon, Mu Xingyi taught Li Qingqing about many Chinese medicinal materials and how to prepare several common medicines.
"Qingqing, this medicine can improve your complexion. You girls can drink two doses after your menstrual period when you are suffering from deficiency of qi and blood." Mu Xingyi handed two doses of Chinese medicine to her.
Li Qingqing felt a little embarrassed. She took the medicine and looked at it carefully. She found that it contained common blood-replenishing and qi-nourishing herbs such as ginseng, white peony root, and angelica. She remembered that she always had severe dysmenorrhea during her period, and thought that maybe she could drink some Chinese medicine to regulate her dysmenorrhea.
So she blushed and asked Mu Xingyi: "Master, can Chinese medicine help with dysmenorrhea?"
As a professional doctor, Mu Xingyi didn't shy away from her question. He answered sincerely and generously, "Yes, I've seen many patients with dysmenorrhea before. They gradually got rid of the pain. Qingqing, are your dysmenorrhea severe?"
Perhaps influenced by Mu Xingyi's professional attitude, Li Qingqing no longer felt ashamed to talk about this topic. She nodded firmly, "It's quite serious. When the pain is so severe, I can't even do anything else."
Mu Xingyi thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll take your pulse later and prescribe some medicine for you based on your condition."
Li Qingqing nodded excitedly. She had never thought that dysmenorrhea could actually be treated through traditional Chinese medicine. She used to suffer excruciating pain every time she had her period, but now there was finally a way to relieve the pain.
Soon it was time to get off work. There weren't many patients today, so Mu Xingyi insisted on taking Li Qingqing to Linglong Pavilion for dinner. "Qingqing, I've been eating with you at noon. You can't leave Master alone at night. Master is all alone and doesn't want to go home so early."
Li Qingqing habitually wanted to refuse, but since Mu Xingyi said so, Li Qingqing couldn't refuse anymore. She looked at the time. It was only 6 o'clock. It would be almost 8 o'clock when she got back after dinner, so she would still have time. So she nodded and accepted Mu Xingyi's invitation to dinner.
The two drove to Linglong Pavilion, a high-end restaurant with an elegant Chinese layout. The food was a combination of Chinese and Western cuisine, taking the best of each restaurant and adding Linglong Pavilion's unique secret recipe, which formed its own characteristics. Most of the people who came here to eat were rich and prestigious people.
Mu Xingyi took Li Qingqing into a pre-booked private room. At the dinner table, Li Qingqing did not forget to ask Mu Xingyi about Chinese medicine. She really wanted to learn it as soon as possible, otherwise she would be at the mercy of others forever.
After dinner, Mu Xingyi went to the front desk to pay the bill. Li Qingqing said she wanted to go to the bathroom and asked him to wait for her in the lobby after paying the bill.
After using the bathroom, Li Qingqing suddenly bumped into a tall figure when she came out. Li Qingqing staggered and almost fell. She looked up and found that the person she bumped into was Lu Yan.
Lu Yan put his hands in his pockets, looked at her up and down with a disdainful look. Li Qingqing instantly felt guilty.
"You...why are you here?" Li Qingqing couldn't help but stutter.
Lu Yan looked at her with lowered eyebrows, his cold eyes always giving people a feeling that he was not easy to get close to.
Seeing her panic, he frowned and said coldly: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you?"
It would be even more suspicious for a poor student like her to appear in a place like Linglong Pavilion.
Li Qingqing felt even more guilty after hearing his question. She hesitated and didn't know how to start. Li Qingqing knew that he had always been prejudiced against Mu Xingyi. If she let him know that she had come to dinner with Mu Xingyi, he would definitely be angry again.
Li Qingqing rolled her eyes and made up a lie, "I came here with a friend, and she treated me to dinner."
She didn't even dare to look Lu Yan in the eye when she said this.
"Friend? Which friend?" Lu Yan slowly approached her, his superior and handsome face almost touching her nose. She could even smell the unique cold breath on him.
"This... this is my personal matter. There's no need to explain it to President Lu, right?" Li Qingqing didn't know where she got the confidence from, she actually dared to retort directly.
Lu Yan chuckled. This woman dared to argue with him. He was just about to teach her a lesson when he saw the phone in Li Qingqing's hand ringing. He looked down and saw the three words "Mu Xingyi" on the phone screen.
Before Lu Yan could catch her, Li Qingqing immediately turned off the screen and hid the phone behind her.
Lu Yan saw her panic. He had just seen Mu Xingyi in the hall. He wondered who he was having dinner with. It turned out to be Miss Li in front of him. Did she think she could hide it from him?
Lu Yan's anger rose immediately, and he stared at her with icy coldness in his eyes: "Li Qingqing, I advise you to be sensible. You are my woman now, so you'd better be more sensible in what you do. I also have a bottom line."
At this point, Li Qingqing no longer concealed the truth and simply said frankly, "We are just having an ordinary meal, don't think too much about it."
"Have you finished eating now?" Lu Yan looked at her with burning eyes, as if he was looking at a frightened little white rabbit.
Li Qingqing nodded and said, "Well, after we finish eating, I'll go tell my master and then go back."
Lu Yan grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "No need to tell him, just come back with me."
Having said that, he pulled her out without saying anything.
His gaze was like a dagger, emitting a cold light. Li Qingqing felt a chill on her back. She didn't dare to disobey him and could only let him drag her out of Linglong Pavilion. When passing by the hall, Li Qingqing didn't see Mu Xingyi, but her cell phone kept ringing.
The two walked to the door of Linglong Pavilion, and Shen Xing had already parked Lu Yan's black Bentley there.
While Lu Yan was getting on the car from the other side, Li Qingqing quickly sent a message to Mu Xingyi, "Master, I have something to do. I'm leaving first."
As expected, after the message was sent, her phone stopped vibrating, but Mu Xingyi sent her another message, [Qingqing, what happened? Why did you leave so suddenly?]
At this time, Lu Yan had already opened the car door and sat in. Li Qingqing quickly turned over her cell phone, not daring to let him see it.
"Drive back to Wanhua." Lu Yan ordered.
Shen Xing slowly started the car and drove towards Wanhua Apartment.
In the quiet carriage, Li Qingqing sat stiffly by the window, not daring to move too much. The air conditioner was on, and she could still faintly smell Lu Yan's unique cool fragrance. Li Qingqing's heart was pounding. She could sense that Lu Yan seemed really angry this time.
She glanced at him secretly and found that he was impatiently pulling at his tie. The next second, Li Qingqing met his extremely cold gaze and turned her head away in fright.
But before she could react, a dark shadow rushed towards her.
