Lu Shuangyue, who had been laughing just a moment ago, now looked a bit frightened and couldn't help but shrink back into the corner.

Just when Lu Shuangyue thought she couldn't take it anymore, Liu Ergou finally spoke up.

"Shuang Yue, look, I just helped you bathe. Isn't it your turn to help me now?"

Upon hearing Liu Ergou's words, Lu Shuangyue was stunned for a moment before letting out a long sigh of relief.

So I was overthinking it. I thought he had come up with some other terrible idea.

To her surprise, he just wanted her to help him bathe. That wasn't a problem for her at all.

With that in mind, Lu Shuangyue took a deep breath, picked up a bath pouf from the side, and prepared to help Liu Ergou wash.

However, before Lu Shuangyue could even touch Liu Ergou, he suddenly reached out and grasped her wrist. This left her puzzled, wondering what he meant.

Just as she was growing confused, Liu Ergou said with a sly smile, "Shuang Yue, I didn't say I wanted you to help me with my bath."

"I was talking about something else."

With that, Liu Ergou let out a wicked chuckle.

When Lu Shuangyue saw the smile on Liu Ergou's face, she instantly understood his meaning. The blush that had just faded from her cheeks came rushing back, even redder than before.

"You're impossible! You're the absolute worst!" Lu Shuangyue said, rolling her eyes dramatically.

Then, she cautiously knelt in front of Liu Ergou.

Just like that, another half an hour passed.

After more than half an hour, Lu Shuangyue finally stood up and took a long, deep breath. She glared fiercely at Liu Ergou but didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Liu Ergou could no longer hold back and burst out laughing, a sound full of joy.

While still laughing, he suddenly stepped forward, scooped Lu Shuangyue into his arms, and strode toward the bedroom.

This gave Lu Shuangyue quite a fright.

"Hey, what are you doing? Er Gou, I'm still wet! Put me down!"

However, Liu Ergou paid her no mind, quickening his pace instead. In an instant, he had carried her into the bedroom and, with a surge of strength, tossed her onto the bed.

Liu Ergou immediately pounced after her.

Looking down at Lu Shuangyue beneath him, Liu Ergou grinned.

"Hehehe, Shuang Yue, what do you think I should do next?"

Staring up at Liu Ergou, who was now just inches away, Lu Shuangyue couldn't help but blush.

"Hmph, as if you don't already know what you're going to do," she said irritably. "But let me remind you, we have to attend that seminar tomorrow, so you'd better take it easy!"

"If you tire me out too much, I won't be able to go with you. You'll have to go all by yourself! If something goes wrong then, don't come crying to me!"

Lu Shuangyue's words immediately deflated the spirited Liu Ergou.

That's right, the seminar was tomorrow. The thought made Liu Ergou grit his teeth in frustration.

Couldn't this damned seminar be postponed? Of all the days, it has to be tomorrow. How infuriating!

Seeing him seething with frustration, Lu Shuangyue couldn't help but cover her mouth and giggle.

"Hahaha, relax, I just meant for you to be a little careful! It's not like I said you can't do anything at all!"

At this, Lu Shuangyue shot Liu Ergou a flirtatious wink.

"What are you just standing there for? Look, it's not even dark yet. The sun hasn't even set! What are you so afraid of?"

Reminded by Lu Shuangyue, Liu Ergou finally came to his senses.

Then, without further hesitation, he reached his wicked hands toward her.

「The next morning arrived in a flash.」

Everything was as usual. Liu Ergou woke up early and began practicing his Body Refining Technique, while Lu Shuangyue slept soundly beside him.

Looking at the peacefully sleeping Lu Shuangyue, he couldn't resist leaning down to place a gentle kiss on her forehead. He then lay beside her, quietly waiting for her to wake up.

This wait lasted for two hours.

After two hours, Lu Shuangyue, who had been in a deep sleep, suddenly snapped her eyes open and snatched her phone to check the time.

Immediately, a scream echoed through the villa.

"AAAAAH! It's so late! We're going to be late!"

With that, Lu Shuangyue forgot everything else and leaped out of bed, hastily throwing on her clothes. Liu Ergou followed right behind her.

Then, too anxious to even have breakfast, Lu Shuangyue dragged Liu Ergou toward the garage.

"Hurry, hurry! The seminar starts in half an hour!" she urged as they walked. "But it takes at least twenty minutes to get to the venue from my villa! We're late, we're late! I knew I should have set an alarm last night!"

To the sound of Lu Shuangyue's despairing voice, a sports car sped out of the underground garage, rushing toward the seminar.

By the time they arrived at the venue, twenty-five minutes of the half-hour had already passed.

With no time to spare, Lu Shuangyue pulled Liu Ergou into the conference hall. Once inside, she finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"Whew, that scared me. I thought we were going to be late!" As she spoke, she raised her head to look forward.

The conference hall was already packed with people, all seated and chatting amongst themselves.

Liu Ergou, meanwhile, sat looking around curiously. Since this was the first seminar he had ever attended, he naturally wanted to take it all in.

However, as he scanned the room, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure seated right at the very front.

When Liu Ergou saw this person, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Hah, Gongsun Feng?"

Hearing Liu Ergou mention the name, Lu Shuangyue, who was beside him, also frowned.

"The doctor who treated Zhang Xiuming's father?"

Liu Ergou nodded. "Yes, that's him! That Gongsun Feng is sitting right at the front!" he said, pointing in his direction.

Lu Shuangyue followed his finger with her gaze. When she saw Gongsun Feng, a look of surprise couldn't help but cross her face.

"Ah? This Gongsun Feng is actually from the Gongsun Family!"

Her statement about the Gongsun Family piqued Liu Ergou's curiosity.

"The Gongsun Family? What's that, Shuang Yue? And if I remember correctly, isn't the Gongsun Family known for mechanical arts? Why the sudden switch to medicine?"

At Liu Ergou's words, Lu Shuangyue couldn't help but roll her eyes.

"What are you talking about, mechanical arts?" she said with annoyance, tapping Liu Ergou on the head. "Er Gou, have you been watching too many cartoons? Mechanical arts, my foot! I might as well be Ultraman!"
