As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Shuangyue felt as if she had just woken from a dream.

That's right, Liu Ergou is a doctor. How could I have completely forgotten about that? My own illness was considered a death sentence, but in the end, didn't Liu Ergou cure me with such ease?

Following this train of thought, Lu Shuangyue realized that what was difficult for others might be a piece of cake for Liu Ergou, perhaps even trivial.

Thinking this, Lu Shuangyue immediately reached out and hugged Liu Ergou's neck tightly.

Then, in a coquettish tone, she said, "Er Gou, from the sound of it, you want to develop a cosmetic product!"

"A skin-whitening one, right?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou nodded and reached out to playfully tap Lu Shuangyue's nose.

"Heh heh, you're not so dumb after all!"

"That is indeed my intention, but you got one thing wrong. My product won't just whiten skin; it will also remove acne and protect it. One bottle will do the work of several! With a trump card like that at Baozhi Hall, how could we possibly worry about not making money?"

As Liu Ergou said this, Lu Shuangyue's spirits soared.

"Er Gou, you're absolutely right!"

"A product like that would completely blow the competition out of the water. With no one, at home or abroad, able to imitate us, we would dominate the market! Then it won't be us seeking others out; instead, they'll come seeking us!"

Liu Ergou nodded.

Just as he was about to say more about the cosmetic product, his phone suddenly rang.

Hearing the ringtone, Liu Ergou picked up his phone and saw that the call was from Lu Xiaoyu.

This made his heart pound with anxiety.

I'm with Lu Shuangyue right now. If she sees this… At this thought, Liu Ergou broke out in a cold sweat.

He immediately stood up and said to Lu Shuangyue, "Shuang Yue, I have something to take care of. I'll take this call first. We can talk more when I get back!"

At these words, Lu Shuangyue raised her eyebrows.

"Hmm? What's this, you have to take a call behind my back? Is there something secretive you have to hide from me?"

Her words sent a fresh wave of cold sweat down Liu Ergou's back.

A woman's sixth sense is truly terrifying, he thought. However, she wasn't entirely right. There *was* something shady going on, something I definitely can't let her see.

Liu Ergou gave a nervous chuckle and forced a relaxed demeanor.

"Shuang Yue, listen to yourself. What could I possibly be hiding? It's just a small matter regarding the wasteland. I'll take this call and be right back. It won't be long!"

Without giving Lu Shuangyue a chance to reply, he scurried out of the office, raced down the stairs, and ran a good distance away from the building. He answered the call just a second before it would have disconnected.

"Hello, Xiaoyu, why the sudden call? Is something wrong?"

Lu Xiaoyu didn't dawdle and got straight to the point.

"Nothing's wrong with me, but Leng Shasha is looking for you. She didn't call you herself; she asked me to do it."

Hearing this, Liu Ergou frowned.

"Huh? Leng Shasha is looking for me? What could she possibly need me for?"

"I don't know," Lu Xiaoyu answered honestly. "She just said for you to go to her house to see her. She said it's something very important!"

Liu Ergou didn't say much more, simply replying, "Got it," before hanging up.

He then returned to the office at Baozhi Hall and told Lu Shuangyue that a small issue had come up at the wasteland and he needed to head back there. Then, he hurriedly left.

Once on the road, Liu Ergou hailed a taxi and headed straight for the villa complex where Leng Shasha lived. As he entered the complex, he faced no obstruction. It was likely that Leng Shasha had given a heads-up in advance.

Just like that, Liu Ergou arrived smoothly in front of Leng Shasha's villa.

Just as he was about to ring the doorbell, he discovered that the villa's main gate wasn't locked at all. It swung open with a gentle push.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

What's going on here? Could Leng Shasha have had some kind of accident? No, if there'd been an accident, they would have notified the police, not me. So, it looks like Leng Shasha must have thought of some new trick and wants to see me! The more he thought about it, the more likely this seemed.

Without hesitating any longer, Liu Ergou pushed open the gate and strode inside.

As soon as he entered, a fragrant breeze swept over him.

He focused his eyes and saw Leng Shasha standing right in front of him.

When he got a closer look, he was so surprised his jaw dropped.

Although Leng Shasha was standing before him, something was very wrong with what she was wearing. Or rather, it couldn't be said that she was wearing clothes at all. Instead, her entire body was covered by nothing more than a short little apron.

The tiny apron hid essentially nothing, exposing vast expanses of her skin. What was even more striking was that the fabric across her chest was pushed up high, looking as if it could burst open at any moment.

Before Liu Ergou could react, Leng Shasha quickly walked up and affectionately hugged his arm.

Instantly, his arm felt a formidable sense of pressure. Of course, Liu Ergou didn't find this sensation repulsive; in fact, he quite enjoyed it.

"Ergou, dear, you're here," she cooed, her voice like honey. "Come in, come in. I didn't expect you to arrive so quickly; I thought you wouldn't get here until tomorrow!"

With those words, Leng Shasha pulled Liu Ergou into the living room. After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that the front door was still open. He quickly doubled back to close it before following Leng Shasha back into the living room.

Looking at her attire, Liu Ergou couldn't help but click his tongue.

He asked with a puzzled expression, "Sister Shasha, what is this? Why are you dressed like that?"

Seeing his bewildered look, Leng Shasha explained, "Oh, it's nothing much! I was just thinking that you've been working so hard lately, so I wanted to cook a meal for you! As it happens, my cooking isn't half bad. It's about time you had a taste of my skills!"

Saying this, Leng Shasha puffed out her chest and patted it confidently.

With her movement, a magnificent swell surged forth—a truly spectacular sight
