Du Haoqi's face turned pale, then ashen. She snorted angrily and turned to leave.
Lu Chen was stunned. He spread his hands innocently and said, "Did I say anything wrong? Why is she treating me like this? I was only trying to help her! Tch! Not even a thank you? I haven't even asked her for the consultation fee."
"Sigh!"
Guo Xiutian sighed softly, "Mr. Lu, you don't know, Dr. Du doesn't have a husband or a boyfriend."
"Ah?" Lu Chen was stunned. Could even this medical genius make mistakes?
He said, "But my diagnosis couldn't be wrong. It's clearly exactly like that."
Guo Xiutian sighed again, unable to bear watching Du Haoqi's retreating figure.
She said, "Mr. Lu, but you're not wrong. Actually… Dr. Du is quite pitiful. Although she doesn't have a husband or boyfriend, she has a man who treats her very badly, that Dr. Ouyang Bihua. Dr. Du loves Dr. Ouyang very much, she's devoted to him, but Dr. Ouyang treats her purely as a plaything, he doesn't even give her the title of girlfriend."
"We all know about this in secret, and we all think Dr. Du is really being treated unfairly."
Hearing this, Lu Chen felt strange: "Du Haoqi is so sexy and beautiful, look at that goddess-like face, that devilish figure, and that Ouyang Bihua just treats her as a plaything?"
Guo Xiutian's tone turned cold: "Dr. Ouyang has high aspirations!"
Lu Chen asked: "What do you mean?"
Guo Xiutian explained slowly, "Dr. Ouyang's ideal partner is actually Miss Lu. He's been pursuing her, but she's unmoved. As for you, Miss Lu, you're the one she likes. So, Mr. Lu, Dr. Du's bad attitude towards you earlier was probably because of Dr. Ouyang. Dr. Ouyang seems to know Miss Lu likes you, so he probably won't treat you well either. Please be magnanimous when you see him."
Lu Chen was dumbfounded. What kind of messed-up relationship was this?
I just arrived, and I've been inexplicably dragged into this love triangle or even a love quadrangle? If I stay any longer, won't it be incredibly troublesome?
Thinking this, Lu Chen wanted to turn around and leave.
Guo Xiutian noticed his worries and quickly comforted him, "Mr. Lu, don't be afraid. Miss Lu is here! Miss Lu is backing you up. Even if Dr. Ouyang does something, he won't dare to do anything reckless, right? Let's go!"
Lu Chen sighed and could only continue walking with Guo Xiutian.
As they walked, Guo Xiutian started chattering away.
"Mr. Lu, you're amazing! You even diagnosed Dr. Du's illness! You're a miracle worker! Mr. Lu, I… I… I have something to tell you, but please don't tell anyone else. I don't know why, but every time I get my period… the flow is so heavy, it's almost like… bloody stool! Every time it comes, I feel dizzy and weak all over. What should I do?"
…
When Lu Chen saw Shangguan Bei, she was striking a very alluring pose. In an elegant and refined office, she sat on the floor, stretching out her long, slender legs, straining to press them forward.
She kept pushing her hands down her thighs, down to her delicate toes. At the same time, her hands were constantly kneading her legs.
This pose itself wasn't unusual, but the problem was that Shangguan Bei was wearing hot pants, so short they reached her upper thighs, revealing her two white legs—they looked incredibly attractive.
Even more eye-catching was the glimpse of small red fabric peeking out from the seams of her hot pants.
And even more eye-catching was the fact that as she bent over, her neckline opened wide, revealing a glimpse inside—tsk tsk.
Lu Chen was led inside by Guo Xiutian and immediately witnessed this alluring scene.
While Shangguan Bei didn't possess the voluptuous figure of Dong Qingqing, Yang Jiangyu, or even Du Haoqi from before, she was still quite beautiful and rather attractive.
Guo Xiutian was startled by the sight and quickly turned around, saying, "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry, please go out first, this… hehe."
Lu Chen understood and quickly turned to leave.
At this moment, Shangguan Bei spoke from inside: "Xiutian, what are you doing? It's nothing, Brother Chen has seen it before."
"Ah, is that so…"
Guo Xiutian immediately showed an expression of understanding, a suggestive smile appearing on her face.
So, Miss and Mr. Lu have already progressed quite a bit!
She quickly said, "Mr. Lu, please come in, I'll go out now!"
After Lu Chen went inside, Guo Xiutian closed the door from the outside.
Looking at Shangguan Bei's sweet smile, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little awkward. He scratched his head, trying to recall if he had seen anything of Shangguan Bei's. It was just that last time at her private hospital, when he carried her to the bed and massaged her legs for a while. But back then, he seemed to have touched some parts he shouldn't have.
Then he remembered what Pang Bei had said, that Shangguan Bei was willing to be his girlfriend and didn't mind him having other women. Even now, Lu Chen still couldn't understand why this little Bei Bei was so open.
Shangguan Bei beckoned to Lu Chen, "Brother Chen, come here, don't just stand there. The exercise and massage routine you taught me is quite effective. I've been doing it consistently, and although I still can't move my legs, I feel like the muscles in my legs are stronger and have a little more power. Last time, I even managed to lift them a tiny bit with some effort."
As she spoke, she leaned back slightly, trying to lift her left leg, but it barely moved.
She said with some disappointment, "Sigh, I definitely moved it a little bit last time."
Lu Chen had already walked over and sat cross-legged next to Shangguan Bei. He smiled and said, "It's alright, didn't you get all the medicine? Give me your legs, and you'll be able to walk within six months!"
Shangguan Bei smiled sweetly, "Okay! Brother Chen, then I'll give you my legs, I'll give you everything."
Suddenly, Lu Chen felt a little embarrassed. Uh, did I say something wrong?
He looked at Shangguan Bei, whose eyes sparkled as she gazed back at him.
Those eyes slowly filled with tenderness.
Because of her recent workout, Shangguan Bei's face was flushed, fine beads of sweat glistening on her forehead and cheeks, trickling down her slender neck to her fair chest, then sliding between her slightly upturned breasts.
Her alluring appearance was captivating.
Lu Chen found himself somewhat mesmerized.
Shangguan Bei blushed under his gaze, secretly delighted, enjoying Lu Chen's attention. However, if it were any other man, she would have wanted to gouge his eyes out.
Shangguan Bei said shyly, "Brother Chen, do I have flowers on my face? Why are you staring at me so intently?"
"Oh, no flowers, but you're even prettier than if you did!" Lu Chen said sincerely, then turned and grabbed a towel from a plate beside him, gently wiping the sweat from Shangguan Bei's face.
Shangguan Bei smiled slightly, tilting her face, more beautiful than any flower, as Liu Chen wiped her sweat.
Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.
"Xiao Bei..."
Then, Shangguan Bei cried out in surprise, quickly grabbing a large towel to cover her legs. She angrily shouted, "Dr. Ouyang, who told you to come in without saying hello?"
Lu Chen looked up and saw a face that looked quite refined, but with a sinister expression.
It was a man around thirty years old, tall and thin, with neatly combed hair and gold-rimmed glasses, looking like a university professor. However, Lu Chen's first impression of him was poor; he felt this person must be quite insidious.
It seems this is Ouyang Bihua, who can sense Lu Chen's intentions even before meeting him.
Chief Researcher? Sounds impressive, doesn't it?
Ouyang Bihua's first impression of Lu Chen must also be very bad; you can tell from his jealous, burning eyes.
Shangguan Bei, whom he has always liked and pursued, is brazenly displaying her long, white legs right under Lu Chen's nose. And the moment he enters, she quickly grabs a large towel to cover herself.
What does this mean?
Ouyang Bihua takes a deep breath, suppressing his anger.
His gaze towards Lu Chen becomes even more ferocious.
Lu Chen, however, meets his gaze without flinching. In a battle of wills, who's afraid of whom?
Ouyang Bihua gritted his teeth, averted his gaze, and smiled at Shangguan Bei, "Xiao Bei, I heard that Mr. Lu Chen, whom you've always admired, is here, so I came to see him and wanted to get to know him as soon as possible. Is this the one?"
Shangguan Bei said calmly, "Yes, this is him. I'll take him to the lab later and introduce him to you. No need to rush, is there? Anyway, Dr. Ouyang, I think you should knock first."
Ouyang Bihua took another breath. These words were truly provocative! He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm so sorry, Xiao Bei, I didn't know Mr. Lu was busy inside. What are you doing?"
Shangguan Bei's tone turned cold: "Dr. Ouyang, do you have to ask so clearly?"
As for Lu Chen, he casually pulled down the large towel covering Shangguan Bei's legs, concealing her still-exposed slender feet. Then, he grasped her feet and squeezed them twice.
Shangguan Bei showed no sign of mind.
Their intimacy made them look like a couple.
Ouyang Bihua was burning with jealousy, so much so that he was practically bursting with rage.
His face was so pale it would blend into the grass.
He seemed not to hear Shangguan Bei's question.
Shangguan Bei's expression darkened: "Dr. Ouyang, could you please leave?"
Ouyang Bihua clenched his fists.
Lu Chen spoke up, a slightly joking smile: "Dr. Ouyang, thank you so much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to see me. However, I have some private matters to discuss with Xiao Bei right now. Could you please leave first? I'll talk to you later?"
Ouyang Bihua finally regained his composure and spat out a single word through gritted teeth: "Okay!"
He turned and left, slamming the door shut.
Shangguan Bei looked at Lu Chen with some guilt: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry. He's a researcher at the company, named Ouyang Bihua. He's a bit... uh... anyway, please forgive him for offending you."
Lu Chen scratched his head, wanting to talk about what had just happened, but felt it was unnecessary, so he chuckled: "I know he likes you. But honestly, I don't really like him; he looks like he deserves a beating. Oh, right!"
