Just as Yang Mei was feeling guilty, Liu Ergou returned to the bedside and said to her, "Alright, stop dawdling. Take off your clothes!"

The sudden command made Yang Mei's guilt vanish instantly.

"Take off my clothes?!" she demanded. "Liu Ergou, a dog can't change its ways! Are you still thinking about taking advantage of me? Why would I need to take off my clothes for you to treat me?"

Watching Yang Mei yelling at him again, Liu Ergou's patience reached its limit. At that moment, he really wanted to give her a hard slap.

But after a moment's thought, he suppressed his anger and said, "Your qi and blood are obstructed. I need to perform acupuncture on your stomach. How can I do that through your clothes?"

"If you can perform acupuncture through clothing, you might as well teach me how so I can learn!"

Liu Ergou's words immediately quieted Yang Mei down. She didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

After he spoke, Liu Ergou fell silent, merely watching her with a cold gaze.

Being stared at for so long made Yang Mei increasingly uncomfortable. She couldn't take it anymore and finally complied, lifting her shirt to reveal her stomach.

Liu Ergou took out the silver needles he always carried and began to perform acupuncture on her. His movements were incredibly fast.

Yang Mei's vision blurred, and in the next instant, more than a dozen silver needles were embedded in her lower abdomen.

Seeing this, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. "Wow, Liu Ergou, you're so fast! You're the fastest man I've ever seen!"

Her words made Liu Ergou roll his eyes dramatically.

What kind of talk was that? What was she even saying? Calling him the fastest man she'd ever seen? You can't just call a man fast!

Thinking this, Liu Ergou said irritably, "Shut your mouth. To think you'd call a man 'fast'… I really don't know what you're thinking. If you dare say I'm fast again, I'll show you whether I am or not. Understood?!"

Liu Ergou's words left Yang Mei completely baffled. She didn't understand why he would suddenly get angry just because she complimented his speed.

But a second later, it dawned on her. The realization made her face instantly turn red.

"Bah! Pervert!"

At her comment, Liu Ergou rolled his eyes again.

"Just shut up," he said. "The needles need to stay in for at least half an hour. For now, just lie here quietly. I'm going out."

With that, he turned to leave. Seeing him about to walk away, Yang Mei grew anxious.

"Hey!" she called out. "Liu Ergou, how can you just leave like that? It's only half an hour. Can't you wait for me? Why are you so impatient!"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou called back without turning his head, "That's right, I'm just that impatient. What are you going to do about it? Besides, I was already falsely accused by you for massaging your stomach in front of your mom. If I stayed alone with you for another half an hour, I'd probably be shot on the spot!"

His words made Yang Mei blush, and she said no more.

Seeing her reaction, Liu Ergou didn't press the matter and walked outside.

As soon as he stepped out, Feng Chunling, who had been sitting in the living room, immediately came over. She asked anxiously, "Er Gou, what happened between you and Xiao Mei in there? It sounded like you two were arguing."

Hearing her question, Liu Ergou sullenly recounted what had just happened.

Feng Chunling couldn't stop sighing as she listened.

She had just been thinking her silly daughter had finally wised up, but it turned out she wasn't wising up—she was just looking for trouble. If this kept up, it would take an eternity to win Liu Ergou over.

Just thinking about it made Feng Chunling worry.

However, as she was worrying, Liu Ergou suddenly reached out and pulled her into a tight embrace. The action gave Feng Chunling a fright.

"Er Gou, what are you doing? I'm telling you, you can't mess around! Xiao Mei is still in the room!"

"If we do anything, wouldn't she find out? Let go of me now!"

Despite her words, Liu Ergou showed no intention of letting go. Instead, he chuckled slyly.

"It's fine, Auntie. If I'm careful, she won't find out about us!"

"Besides, I suffered a huge injustice from her just now. As her mother, shouldn't you compensate me?"

"Auntie!"

As he spoke, the look he gave Feng Chunling was practically on fire.

Staring back at him, Feng Chunling opened her mouth but said nothing.

Seeing Feng Chunling's reaction, Liu Ergou knew she had agreed.

He immediately continued, "Don't worry, Auntie. I told her the acupuncture takes half an hour. She has to lie in there without moving for at least that long."

"We just have to be a little careful, and she won't discover a thing!"

However, hearing Liu Ergou's words, Feng Chunling's brow furrowed deeply.

How could she not know Liu Ergou? Half an hour would never be enough for him; he needed over an hour at a minimum. Half an hour wouldn't even be an appetizer for him.

Yet, Liu Ergou didn't give her a chance to speak. He lifted her in a princess carry and tossed her onto the sofa.

Seeing this, Feng Chunling panicked. "Er Gou, not here! Hurry and take me to a room. Xiao Mei will find out if we stay here!"

But Liu Ergou was completely deaf to her words. He pounced on top of her, and in the next second, he was in the heat of the moment.

Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty minutes had passed, but Liu Ergou showed no signs of stopping and was still busy.

Meanwhile, Feng Chunling grew flustered. Biting her lip, she managed to say with great difficulty, "Er Gou, half an hour is almost up. It's already been over twenty minutes. When are you going to finish?"

Liu Ergou didn't answer her. This made Feng Chunling terribly anxious. She wanted to stop him, but at the same time, she couldn't bear for it to end.

Just then, Yang Mei, who was lying in the other room, seemed to sense something.

"Liu Ergou, where are you?" she suddenly shouted.

"What are you doing? Why is it so quiet?"

"The time is almost up! It's nearly half an hour. Any longer and you'll go over!"

"Liu Ergou! Liu Ergou!"

Hearing Yang Mei's calls, Liu Ergou wasn't the least bit flustered.

But Feng Chunling was in an absolute panic. She tried to break free from Liu Ergou, but with her strength, how could she possibly succeed?
