Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Zhu Yan Is Kidnapped

Hearing Sun Zhe speak so nonchalantly, Miss Xie was clearly unconvinced.

She looked at the simple little wooden box in Sun Zhe’s hand, her eyes full of disdain.

”What is this thing? Can it really be applied to my face?”

With a net worth in the billions, she was a popular singer and a music diva. Any cosmetic she used was worth several months’ salary for an average person. So, she truly looked down on the ointment in Sun Zhe’s hand.

Sun Zhe said, somewhat awkwardly, ”This ointment doesn’t have a name. It’s just a recipe my grandpa taught me to mix. But don’t worry, Miss Xie, it will definitely cure what’s on your face.”

As he spoke, he opened the wooden box. A pungent medicinal smell, not exactly stinky but not very pleasant either, immediately filled the air.

Miss Xie couldn’t help but wrinkle her brow. She stepped back several paces in her exquisite high heels, her face a mask of disgust as she stared at the dark, gooey ointment in the box.

”No way! I can’t let this nameless ointment touch my face!”

Just then, Li Zhishan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her by the shoulders. ”Since it’s already come to this,” she said with a smile, ”you might as well try it as a last resort.”

Li Zhishan had complete confidence in Sun Zhe’s medical skills. She spent quite a while persuading her, and finally, Miss Xie agreed to give it a try.

”Fine, I’ll try it. But, Li Zhishan, if it doesn’t work, you have to take responsibility!”

Li Zhishan smiled serenely. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s not my fault. She should go after those poisonous insects instead.

Miss Xie shot Li Zhishan a glare before walking to the sofa and sitting down. She positioned her sleek, stocking-clad legs together, her hands resting on her smooth, sexy thighs as she nervously clutched the hem of her skirt and looked at Sun Zhe.

”Go ahead.”

Li Zhishan pouted, not wanting to watch. ”I’ll go upstairs and change,” she said.

A moment later, Sun Zhe approached Miss Xie, dipped a cotton swab in the ointment, and gently and carefully applied it to the pustules.

Looking at the handsome, focused face before her, Miss Xie’s beautiful eyes fluttered, and her heart skipped a beat. This young man is actually quite handsome, she thought, so much better than those made-up sissies in the entertainment industry.

Of course, Sun Zhe had no idea what the temporarily disfigured beauty was thinking. He was concentrating on applying the medicine when his gaze suddenly shifted, sneaking a peek at her neckline. Wow, the scale is quite impressive!

The neckline of Miss Xie’s dress was already very low, and from Sun Zhe’s angle, he had a perfect view of the beautiful scenery within. A black lace bra, a deep and mysterious cleavage...

The half-hidden sight made Sun Zhe’s mouth go dry, and his Yang Qi began to stir uncontrollably once more.

Damn it, here we go again! Sun Zhe cursed internally, quickly averting his gaze.

At the same time, Miss Xie also noticed the large tent he was pitching. She instantly realized he had gotten an eyeful, but she was too embarrassed to say anything. Moreover, that large tent sent her imagination running wild. Even through his pants, it’s such a huge bulge. The real thing inside must be even bigger.

A few minutes later, Sun Zhe finished applying the ointment. ”Miss Xie, how do you feel now?” he asked.

Miss Xie’s gaze kept drifting toward the tent in Sun Zhe’s pants. Seemingly distracted, she said, ”My face was burning before, but after you applied your ointment, it feels cool and comfortable. This is much better than the medicine I bought at the hospital...”

As she was speaking, she suddenly furrowed her brows and couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath, as if in great pain.

”Why does it hurt so much?”

Sun Zhe smiled. ”It hurts a little, but don’t worry. That just means the ointment is working. Miss Xie, you can go look in a mirror.”

Hearing this, Miss Xie hurriedly took a small mirror out of her handbag. She then saw that the disgusting pustules on her face were draining and the swelling was going down.

”What’s going on?”

Sun Zhe couldn’t be bothered to explain. ”You should go wash your face in the bathroom first,” he said.

A short while later, after Miss Xie had gone to the bathroom, Li Zhishan came downstairs wearing a gray, form-fitting skirt and walked over to Sun Zhe.

”Where is she?”

”In the bathroom.”

Li Zhishan sat beside Sun Zhe, linked her arm with his, and let out a coquettish huff. ”She has the worst timing, interrupting our fun,” she grumbled.

Sun Zhe reached out and caressed her legs, which were clad in gray stockings. His hand then audaciously slid up under her skirt, his fingertips pressing against the small mound covered by the thin, sheer fabric. ”You’re not wearing underwear?” he asked in surprise.

Li Zhishan wriggled her hips and said softly, ”Isn’t it to make things easier for you to do what you want?”

Sun Zhe chuckled. ”In that case, I’ll make sure to show you a good time later.”

TAP, TAP, TAP...

Just then, the sound of high heels approached from the direction of the bathroom. Startled, Sun Zhe quickly snatched back his wandering hand from under Li Zhishan’s skirt.

Miss Xie hurried out of the bathroom. She was momentarily stunned to see Sun Zhe and Li Zhishan in such an intimate pose, but she quickly pretended not to notice and walked over to Sun Zhe.

”I can’t believe your ointment actually works!”

Sun Zhe and Li Zhishan looked over and felt as if Miss Xie was a completely new person. Although red marks still lingered on her face, the toxic pus had completely drained away, and the swelling had vanished.

Li Zhishan was incredulous. She whirled to look at Sun Zhe. ”Oh my god, how is your ointment so miraculous? It healed these sores so quickly!”

Sun Zhe gave a humble smile. ”When I was young, I was often bitten by poisonous insects while gathering herbs in the mountains. My grandfather eventually taught me how to mix this ointment.”

Hearing this, Li Zhishan’s eyes lit up as a brilliant business plan suddenly formed in her mind.

Just then, Miss Xie extended her hand toward Sun Zhe. ”Hello, my name is Xie Yunwan. How should I address you, sir?”

Sun Zhe stood and shook her hand. ”My name is Sun Zhe, Miss Xie, you...” As he spoke, his gaze suddenly froze. He stared at Xie Yunwan’s face and exclaimed, ”You’re Xie Yunwan? The famous singer?”

Only then did he realize why she had looked so familiar when he first saw her. It turned out she was the iconic diva, a superstar singer known all over the country! What’s more, Ye Qiao had a poster of Xie Yunwan in her room! The woman before him was Ye Qiao’s idol!

Although Sun Zhe wasn’t one to follow celebrities, it was hard not to be a little excited to meet such a big star in person, one he usually only saw on TV and online.

Xie Yunwan gave a slightly embarrassed laugh and changed the subject. ”By the way, Mr. Sun, can you sell me this ointment?”

Sun Zhe smiled freely, his eyes still fixed on Xie Yunwan’s face. ”I can make this ointment anytime. It’s not worth much. If you want it, you can have it. Take it home and apply it two more times. It’ll be completely healed in two or three days, I guarantee it won’t even leave a scar.”

”Really?!”

Sun Zhe nodded.

Watching Sun Zhe stare at the famous star, Li Zhishan felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart. She stood up, grabbed Sun Zhe’s hand, and asked, ”Sun Zhe, can you sell me the formula for this ointment?”

”Sell it to you?”

”Yes!” Li Zhishan nodded vigorously, her expression serious. ”And I’d also like to invite you to be the chief technical advisor for our company. I want to develop a facial mask based on your ointment.” She added, ”I’ll give you a fifty percent share of the profits. What do you think?”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt as if he were dreaming. ”Is that really possible?”

”Of course, it is! I’ve seen the effects of your ointment with my own eyes. I’m confident that when the product hits the market, it will be a massive bestseller!”

At this, Xie Yunwan raised a delicate hand and said, a bit shyly, ”Um, Zhishan, could I possibly invest? When the time comes, I’ll endorse the facial mask for free.”

Li Zhishan laughed happily. ”Of course, you can! With financial backing from a big star like you, plus a free endorsement, that’s more than I could ever ask for!”

”Great. Let’s talk about the details tomorrow. I still have some things to take care of, so I’ll be going now.”

「A short while later.」

Once Xie Yunwan had left, Li Zhishan couldn’t wait any longer and threw herself into Sun Zhe’s arms.

”Tell me, did you fall for her just now?”

”No way. I was just a little excited to see a celebrity for the first time.”

”I don’t care! I’m going to punish you!”

...

Li Zhishan ”punished” Sun Zhe until evening, at which point he finally returned home with his medical kit.

「Meanwhile.」

At Yangcheng People’s Hospital, Zhu Yan had also changed her clothes and was leaving work. The thought that she would be able to spend time alone with Sun Zhe now that Ye Qiao was at school filled her with a strange sense of excitement.

Unexpectedly, just as she reached the underground parking lot, two men in black appeared and blocked her path.

”You... what do you want?”

The two men in black said nothing. They flanked her, grabbed her arms, and began dragging her toward a van.

「Sometime after seven in the evening.」

Sun Zhe finished cooking dinner, took off his apron, and sat on the sofa. He picked up his phone, about to call Zhu Yan and ask when she would be home, only to discover he had several missed calls. All of them were from her.

Why did Stepmom call me? Sun Zhe wondered as he dialed her number.

”Hello, Stepmom, I was just cooking...”

”Well, hello there, Sun Zhe!” a man’s playful voice on the other end suddenly interrupted him.

Sun Zhe’s brow furrowed. ”Who is this?”

”The name’s Zhou Xiaolong, and I’m about to become your new dad, because your mom is right here with me. I’m sending you an address. You have half an hour to get here. If you don’t make it, I’ll have my brothers take turns with your pretty little stepmom.”
