Chapter 114 How Impressive!
Han Guo puffed up her cheeks, and even her two adorable dimples seemed to be angry as she snapped, "Stop talking in that weird tone. Uncle uses acupuncture, and his acupuncture is really amazing! Humph, a hundred times—no, a thousand times better than you!"
"Oh??" Dr. Lai responded, undisturbed, "How is he so amazing??"
Han Guo was stumped. She didn't understand acupuncture—she just felt that Liu Wentian's acupuncture was magical, but she couldn't articulate exactly what made it so impressive!!
At that moment, Uncle Zhou said, "I also acknowledge that it wasn't that man who cured the young lady. It's not that I have a prejudice against him, but he appears to be barely in his twenties and couldn't possibly possess profound medical skills!! Moreover, he took the young lady to a hotel room to perform acupuncture, which I suspect was just to take advantage of her!!"
"Barely in his twenties??"
Han Guo's parents and Zhao Han immediately believed Uncle Zhou's words. How could a young man in his early twenties know anything about acupuncture!!
By this time, Dr. Lai was starting to doubt himself, thinking perhaps it was indeed the medicine he prescribed that cured Han Guo, and its effects were only showing now.
He didn't hide his disdain, scoffed, and said, "Barely in his twenties? At that age, he's just a greenhorn; I bet he can't even identify acupoints correctly. Miss Han, you actually dared to let him give you acupuncture. You're joking with your life."
Now, everyone agreed with Dr. Lai. Indeed, acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine that relies heavily on experience. How could someone barely in his twenties cure Han Guo's strange illness? They had sought countless famous doctors before, all to no avail. It would be weird if a greenhorn could succeed!!Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Han Guo, upset, said, "Why won't any of you believe me? I feel so much better now—all thanks to Uncle's acupuncture. How could I be mistaken about that??"
She turned to Han's mother with a whining tone and said, "Mom, it was Uncle who cured my illness, please throw this charlatan doctor out!!"
Han's mother, who typically doted on Han Guo, now sternly faced her daughter and said, "Guoguo, stop being unreasonable. Dr. Lai saved you. He is our Han Family's benefactor. You can't talk like that. Otherwise, Mommy will be angry."
"Ahhhh! Why won't any of you believe me?? Cousin, you love me the most. Throw this guy out!!" Han Guo pointed at Dr. Lai, pleading to Zhao Han.
Zhao Han gave her a helpless expression and said softly, "Guoguo, behave. Don't make trouble. Dr. Lai cured your illness; you should be polite to him."
Han Guo wanted to say more, but was directly interrupted by Han Wuhuan.
"Enough!! Guoguo, stop causing a scene!!" Han Wuhuan rebuked, "That so-called Uncle, you're not allowed to see him again. Ruguo, if you dare to meet him again, then I need to make him understand what the consequences are for deceiving my daughter Han Wuhuan. Now, go back to your room immediately!!"
Han Guo was so angry that she was almost in tears, but nobody believed her. She glared fiercely at Dr. Lai, stamped her foot, and stormed off to her room.
A smile showed in Dr. Lai's eyes. Today really had been the right decision. Now with this favor from a senior official, he could call the shots in Shenming City.
"Dr. Lai, I'm really sorry about this girl being so thoughtless," Han Wuhuan apologized to Dr. Lai.
Dr. Lai smiled and said, "Mr. Han, you're too polite. Miss Han is still young and easily deceived. I guess she might have a crush on that man, hence her partiality for him."
"This girl will also be 16 in a few days; she's not that young. She's usually very sensible. I don't understand why she's acting like this today," said Han Wuhuan, his face turning cold. "However, even if Guoguo has grown up, the daughter of Han Wuhuan is not someone any random Joe can be worthy of."
......
At the moment, Liu Wentian found himself awkwardly standing outside a women's lingerie store. Bai Ruguo and Li He were inside shopping for lingerie, and he was waiting outside. He didn't mind going in to look around, but Bai Ruguo, her face red, had insisted he wait outside.
Suddenly, his phone signaled a new message.
He glanced at it—it was a WeChat friend request. He normally wouldn't bother, because there were too many random friend requests these days. But after seeing the name of the requester, he paused.
"Happy Guo??"
```
It seemed like Han Guo told herself before that her WeChat and QQ username was simply "Happy Guo." Having given her mobile number to Guo, it wasn't strange that she added herself on WeChat.
She accepted the friend request, and then a message came through immediately.
Happy Guo, "Ming ming"... Uncle, it's me, Guo Guo!!
The little girl seemed to be feeling quite aggrieved.
Liu Wentian replied, "What's wrong? Who's bullying you?"
Following that, Han Guo sent a voice message that lasted over a minute. She talked about how her parents and cousin actually didn't trust her and how a quack doctor stole the credit for Liu Wentian's efforts. The little girl sounded very indignant, her voice choking up a bit.
After listening, Liu Wentian just laughed it off. He had helped Han Guo merely because he pitied her; the gratitude of her parents meant nothing to him. Moreover, Han Guo's medical condition wasn't fully cured yet, and that so-called genius doctor couldn't possibly steal the credit for the cure.
He replied directly, "Don't worry about it. And your condition isn't completely cured yet. When my abilities improve, I will completely heal your illness."
Happy Guo, "Ming ming"... Uncle, you are really too nice, but I'm still not satisfied. I must defeat that bad quack doctor!! Your next read is at empire
After sending the message, Han Guo sent a selfie of her baring her teeth and trying to look fierce, but it wasn't scary at all; it was actually quite funny.
Liu Wentian laughed and said, "Then go for it."
Happy Guo, "Uncle, your WeChat name is so boring. You're called Liu Wentian, and your WeChat name is just 'Early Morning'?? Absolutely no creativity!! So old-fashioned!!"
Early Morning, "Yeah, I lack creativity. I'm an uncle after all."
Happy Guo, "Hehe, but I like calling you uncle. It feels so safe. You are my guardian deity, Uncle. But you're so old-fashioned that nobody's going to like you. How about I become your girlfriend?? Blushing emoji"
Early Morning, "Dream on, you little brat! I'm outside and won't chat with you anymore."
Happy Guo, "Mhm, Uncle, take care, bye bye."
Early Morning, "Bye bye."
Putting away his phone, a touch of sorrow flashed in Liu Wentian's eyes. Why would he call himself "Early Morning," huh?
Because early morning is when you wake up; it's when dreams shatter. Calling himself "Early Morning" was a reminder not to dream anymore. The pain of broken dreams—once in a lifetime was enough.
Bai Ruge and Li He walked out of the lingerie store.
Bai Ruge's face was flushed, while Li He's smile was seductively playful.
"Hehe, Yaoyao, still feeling shy? Men like lingerie that's a bit sexier. Your previous ones were too conservative. Once you put on those provocative pieces I picked out for you, you'll definitely kill all men!!" Li He teased.
Bai Ruge, embarrassed, said, "Those clothes are too... too much. Besides, lingerie is worn underneath; nobody's going to see it. Does it really matter what kind I wear?"
"Oh? Really? Don't you want to wear that lingerie and show Liu Wentian? It'll definitely mesmerize him!!" Li He winked suggestively.
"Ah!! Who... who would show him? If he dares to look, I will... fire him!!" Bai Ruge retorted with a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Li He looked at Bai Ruge with a mischievous grin, as if she had her all figured out, "Is that so? How about I wear them and show him instead? Consider it a reward for his company on this shopping trip."
