Chapter 455 Liu Ling'er: Mm! Mm! Doctor Zhang, I am sorry! I misjudged you!
"..."
Zhang Wei, caught off guard, couldn't help but quickly retract his hands with an awkward cough.
Seeing him flustered, Liu Ling'er's eyes gleamed with satisfaction.
After being subjected to the unwanted advances of the molester, she had successfully molested back the molestor!
Yet, she was taken aback by the sudden change in demeanor as he unexpected patted her head, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he declared, "Yes, and my next target is you."
His words sent a chill down her spine, causing her to freeze in disbelief.
!!
Hiss!
She took a sharp, cold breath, her wide eyes locked with his, only for him to suddenly grab her cheeks and squeeze them. "I only bully cute children like you," he added, his tone a mix of teasing and foreboding, causing Liu Ling'er's heart to race like a drum.
"I... I... I-I am not a child," she stammered, her face turning as red as a ripe tomato under his intense gaze.
"Exactly, you're an adult. So, what's your decision? Do you want to be molested by Doctor Zhang or not?" He asked, the uncertainty in his voice leaving Liu Ling'er unsure whether he was serious or simply testing his luck with her.
"W-What's the other option?" Liu Ling'er, her breaths coming in short, ragged pulls, managed to ask, her cheeks aflame as if set ablaze by an unseen inferno.
Zhang Wei, with a deliberate gentleness, cradled her face in his hands, his fingers lightly compressing her cheeks. "The other option? Well, you could pay the doctor's fee, and then he won't 'molest' you" he quipped, a playful yet pointed barb in his tone.
"F-Fee?" Liu Ling'er found herself swallowing hard, a cocktail of fear and intrigue swirling within her. Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
"What kind of fee, Doctor?" she probed, her eyes narrowing with skepticism. "Are you one of those who ask women to pay with their bodies" She didn't know why, but she found herself emboldened in her questioning today.
Taken aback by her daring, Zhang Wei paused, weighing her words, but before he could formulate a response—
Slap!
Her face transformed into a tableau of shock, her earlier awe tinged now with a hint of skepticism.
As the implications of his words sank in, Liu Ling'er couldn't help but reassess the man before her.
Her face transformed into a tableau of shock, her earlier awe tinged now with a hint of skepticism.
In that instant, her perception of Zhang Wei shifted, the lines between a devoted healer and a playful trickster blurring as she pondered the complexity of the man who had restored her ability to walk.
Suppressing the stirrings of suspicion for the moment, Liu Ling'er sought clarity on a pressing issue. "Doctor, is... our family being targeted by someone?"
Zhang Wei, momentarily pausing his teasing demeanor, considered her question. "I'm not certain, but rest assured, whoever it is, I can handle them, as long as you..."
"Hm!?" Liu Ling'er interjected, confusion clouding her features, only to notice the mysterious smile playing on Zhang Wei's lips.
Her expression soured. "You're after our family fortune as well?" she inquired, skepticism edging her voice.
Zhang Wei nodded solemnly, "Not just the fortune, but a vessel, to be precise."
"..."
Silence enveloped Liu Ling'er as she sank into a deep contemplation. Being her father's sole heir, agreeing to Zhang Wei's vague terms felt akin to binding her entire lineage to an uncertain fate.
The weight of the decision loomed large, yet before she could process these thoughts further, an unexpected sensation distracted her.
Her body suddenly itched intolerably, causing her to squirm uncomfortably. "W-what's happening? Why do I feel so itchy?" she blurted out in distress.
A slight smile crept across Zhang Wei's face as he explained, "The poison I liberated from your meridians is now being expelled from your body. Its remnants are causing this unusual itchiness as they leave your system."
"..." Liu Ling'er's expression was one of concern, the discomfort not unbearable but certainly unwelcome. "Can you fix it?" she asked, her eyes filled with a hopeful glimmer directed at Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei nodded affirmatively, his instructions straightforward yet startling. "Take off your top and shorts," he said, his tone clinical but unexpected enough to cause Liu Ling'er to freeze.
