At this time,
Old Chen, who hadn't had a chance to speak until now, finally seized the opportunity.
He quickly said to Zhang Ruoshui, "Xiao Lu should be in Xiaoxi's clinic when she comes to my clinic. I'll take you there."
His voice sounded somewhat unnatural, as the awkwardness from earlier hadn't completely dissipated.
Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua exchanged a glance, a look of confusion in their eyes.
Who is Xiaoxi? Why come to her clinic?
But they didn't ask any more questions.
Instead, they took Zhang Ruoshui's arms on either side, saying, "Mom, let us help you."
Zhang Ruoshui waved her hand, a gentle smile appearing on her lips, "It's alright, Mom's just an old ailment, she can walk by herself."
She stepped forward.
But she didn't notice the tender yet complex look in Old Chen's eyes as he watched her back.
Mu Shaohua observed the subtle interaction between the two elderly people.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes—it seemed this afternoon would be more interesting than he had imagined.
......
In the treatment room,
Chen Xiaoxi's fingertips touched Lu Qingzhou's 'tense' muscles.
"Relax, don't be tense,"
Her voice was exceptionally clear in the silence, carrying a professional composure, yet unable to conceal the slight burning sensation at the tips of her ears.
Lu Qingzhou groaned, his Adam's apple bobbing violently, his knuckles gripping the bed sheet until they turned bluish-white.
Does it hurt?
Chen Xiaoxi subconsciously looked up and met his taut jawline.
Lu Qingzhou gritted her teeth and shook her head, "This isn't just pain, it's more like..."
But he couldn't bring himself to say something so shameless.
He was still being manipulated by Chen Xiaoxi, and dared not make any rash moves. He could only let her do as she pleased!
"It doesn't hurt. What's your name?"
Chen Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows slightly and gave him a charmingly disdainful look.
Look into those eyes that are full of meaning.
Lu Qingzhou quickly turned her head away, not daring to look at Chen Xiaoxi's face.
This kind of ambiguous and suffocating contact can only be made worse by trying to explain it now.
"stop,"
Lu Qingzhou suddenly grabbed her wrist.
Chen Xiaoxi's ears instantly flushed, but she maintained her composure as a doctor: "Don't move, it's not over yet."
Her voice trembled almost imperceptibly.
However, in that very instant,
Lu Qingzhou slowly closed her eyes. 'You're not finished, but I am.'
At that moment, he wished he could run away and escape from the treatment room.
Chen Xiaoxi looked at her gloves, and her cheeks instantly turned red all the way to her neck.
She felt like she'd been scalded by boiling water! Fortunately, her strong mental fortitude as a doctor helped her maintain composure.
The treatment is finally over.
Chen Xiaoxi's white coat was already soaked with cold sweat.
Lu Qingzhou was the first to stand up.
The moment the door was pushed open,
The two of them were instantly stunned!
The incandescent light in the examination room illuminated Lu Qingzhou's astonished expression, leaving him nowhere to hide.
Recalling the treatment she had just received, Chen Xiaoxi's ear tips turned so red they almost bled, and fine beads of sweat on the back of her neck slid down the collar of her white coat and into her clothes.
"Holy crap, what's going on? How did everyone get here? And why is Old Man Chen here too?"
Several thoughts flashed through Lu Qingzhou's mind in an instant.
His gaze swept over the faces of the crowd with surprise.
He looked at Old Man Chen and his mother.
Zhang Ruoshui was pursing her lips, her gaze shifting between him and Chen Xiaoxi.
Old Chen frowned, and he subconsciously raised his hand to adjust his gold-rimmed glasses.
The gaze behind the glasses held a somewhat enigmatic quality.
A flicker of doubt crossed Lu Qingzhou's mind: 'Aren't these two standing rather close together? What... what's going on?'
I have absolutely no idea what's going on.
Chen Xiaoxi's gaze was fixed on the two beauties, Su Qingyao and Mu Shaohua.
Who are these two people? What is their relationship with Lu Qingzhou?
Both Mu Shaohua and Su Qingyao were staring at Chen Xiaoxi.
'This is Uncle Chen's daughter; she is indeed very beautiful.'
An indescribable, eerie atmosphere permeated the group.
"Honey, were you receiving treatment in the therapy room just now?"
Mu Shaohua was the first to break the silence.
She walked forward with elegant steps, wearing ten-centimeter stilettos.
When the red nail polish brushed against Lu Qingzhou's collarbone, he instinctively flinched.
Her voice was sickeningly sweet, but the last syllable was icy cold, and her peripheral vision seemed to glance at Chen Xiaoxi's uneasy hands.
Lu Qingzhou's back instantly tensed up, looking incredibly embarrassed. There was no way to explain this.
The air conditioner unit outside the clinic was buzzing loudly, but it couldn't drown out the pounding of his heart.
He forced a smile, which looked more like a grimace, and said, "Yes...yes, we're undergoing treatment."
After saying that, he added, "It's just some routine check-ups."
Mu Shaohua whispered in his ear, "I don't really trust conventional treatment."
Lu Qingzhou froze. Damn, a woman's intuition can be terrifying sometimes.
Hearing Mu Shaohua call him "husband" and seeing her affectionate way of treating Lu Qingzhou, Chen Xiaoxi felt the world spinning around her.
wrong,
Isn't Lu Qingzhou's girlfriend Leng Yue?
She turned to look at Leng Yue with a blank expression, only to find that the other party's expression was normal, and even gave her a polite smile.
That smile struck her like a hammer blow, making her temples throb. 'Could Miss Leng Yue be Lu Qingzhou's mistress?' This absurd thought had barely formed in her mind when…
That was completely shattered by Su Qingyao's actions.
Su Qingyao gracefully stepped forward and took Lu Qingzhou's arm, a gesture so natural it seemed like an ingrained habit.
Her voice was as gentle as honey as she coquettishly asked, "Darling, are you alright?"
