Playboy: Medical and Martial Master

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: This Medicine Really Works!

In the luxurious and spacious living room, Sun Zhe picked up the scar-removing ointment from the coffee table and walked toward Leng Yueshuang as if treading on thin ice.

To be honest, he really didn’t want to interact with this ice queen at all. Whenever he faced Leng Yueshuang, he felt a chill run down his spine, as if an invisible blade was pressed against his neck, ready to take his life at any moment. This feeling made him deeply uncomfortable, yet he was helpless.

Leng Yueshuang glanced at the ointment in Sun Zhe’s hand, her expression showing undisguised disdain. The ointment was a dark, murky paste, and it was sloppily packaged in an old mineral water bottle. It looked utterly cheap.

”Can this really remove scars?”

Sun Zhe nodded and said confidently, ”Of course. You’ll know once you try it.”

”That’s true,” Leng Yueshuang said coolly. ”After all, you did pledge one of your eyeballs to me. I doubt you’d dare to lie.”

Hearing this, Sun Zhe felt a sudden urge to curse, but he didn’t dare let it show. Instead, he forced a wide smile onto his face.

”President Leng, could you lower your clothes a bit? Otherwise, I can’t apply the ointment for you.”

Without a word, Leng Yueshuang reached up with an indifferent expression and pulled down the strap of the nightgown on her snow-white shoulder. As the strap slid down, her fair, jade-like chest was gradually exposed to the air. Staring at the two snowy peaks slowly coming into view, Sun Zhe couldn’t help but gulp. His eyes filled with anticipation. He wished he could just rip her nightgown right off.

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Just as the snowy peaks were about to be perfectly revealed, the silky nightgown snagged on a rosy peak, ultimately revealing just a hint of a pink hue. This teasing, half-revealed sight was maddening!

”Go ahead.”

Leng Yueshuang glanced up at Sun Zhe before turning her back to him and sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

Sun Zhe inhaled her rich fragrance, silently admiring the alluring curves of her lower back and hips. He unwrapped the gauze from her shoulder and arm, then squeezed some ointment from the bottle and began to apply it.

”It might hurt a little at first. Just bear with it and you’ll be fine.”

Leng Yueshuang nodded slightly but didn’t speak. After a moment of silence, she suddenly asked, ”Want to come work for me?”

Sun Zhe frowned slightly, sinking into thought. He was just worrying about how to infiltrate the Lieyang Group and find Gu Lingxue, and now Leng Yueshuang was handing him the opportunity on a silver platter. However, he didn’t agree immediately and pretended to be conflicted.

”President Leng, I just know a little about medicine. What position could I possibly hold here?”

”You can be my special assistant,” Leng Yueshuang stated.

”And what, specifically, would I have to do?”

”I’ll teach you when the time comes. Don’t worry, I won’t ask you to do anything illegal or unethical.”

”Then I’ll give it a try.”

”Are you free tomorrow night?”

”Hmm, I should be.”

”I’ll pick you up after work tomorrow, then.”

”Pick me up for what?”

”To take you somewhere.”

”Alright. But President Leng, I need to make something clear first. I won’t quit my job at the hospital for this position.”

”As you wish.”

...

A moment later, after applying the scar-removing ointment, Sun Zhe helped Leng Yueshuang apply fresh gauze.

Leng Yueshuang calmly pulled the strap of her nightgown back up, covering the half-revealed scenery. She then walked over to the side and poured herself a glass of red wine.

”Would you like one too?”

”No, thank you. I’m not much of a drinker.”

Leng Yueshuang lifted her glass, her red lips lightly touching the rim. Her gaze drifted down to the prominent tent pitched in Sun Zhe’s pants, a piercing chill in her eyes.

”What’s on your mind?”

”Uh... nothing! Nothing at all!”

Noticing where she was looking, Sun Zhe felt a wave of embarrassment. He instinctively hunched over, trying to make the tent less conspicuous.

Leng Yueshuang looked at him with disdain. ”Your self-control is too weak.”

A bitter smile touched Sun Zhe’s lips. ”President Leng, I’m a normal man. Facing a great beauty like you, I have absolutely no resistance.”

Leng Yueshuang stared at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. ”I’m your boss. You shouldn’t have those sorts of messy thoughts about me. If this happens again, I don’t mind solving the problem at its root.”

Sun Zhe was slow to react. ”Solving it at its root?”

”Castrating you,” Leng Yueshuang said, her face expressionless.

A shiver went through Sun Zhe, and he quickly replied, ”You might not mind, but I do!”

A meaningful smile appeared on Leng Yueshuang’s face as she said slowly, ”Pet owners often resort to such methods to prevent their animals from going into heat.”

Sun Zhe’s face darkened, and he muttered, ”I’m not your pet.”

He knew she was joking, but when an ice queen told a joke, it wasn’t funny in the slightest.

”That’s my lifeline. If it were gone, what would be the point of living?”

Leng Yueshuang asked, ”Do you men live only to serve that filthy, disgusting thing?”

Sun Zhe gave an awkward chuckle. ”You can laugh if you want, but that’s what I believe.”

”Shallow.”

”I admit it,” Sun Zhe said.

Leng Yueshuang set down her wine glass. ”Alright, you can go now.”

Overcome with relief, Sun Zhe turned and left, not wanting to stay there for a second longer.

「Late at night.」

In the Su Family Villa, Su Nanzhi sat on the sofa, frowning at the bowl of ink-black medicinal soup held by her female bodyguard. ”Are you sure this was brewed according to the prescription?”

The female bodyguard smiled wryly. ”President Su, it really was brewed exactly according to the prescription you gave me. To be honest, I know a little about medicine myself and I’ve seen plenty of folk remedies, but I’ve never seen a formula as strange as this one.”

She continued, ”President Su, perhaps you shouldn’t drink it. Some of the ingredients are quite potent, and I’m worried the mixture might be toxic.”

Su Nanzhi took a deep breath. Recalling the confident look on Sun Zhe’s face that morning, she decided to give it a try. Since I’ve chosen to trust him, I shouldn’t have any doubts.

”Give it to me. I’ll drink it.”

”But, President Su...”

”Give it here!”

A moment later, after she swallowed the bitter and spicy soup, Su Nanzhi’s face flushed red and she began to perspire heavily. Her delicate body started to tremble uncontrollably.

”Hot... It’s so hot!”

The unbearable sensation was as if her entire body had been coated in chili water and every inch of her skin was being roasted by fire. Seeing this, the female bodyguard’s face turned pale with fright, and she was about to call for help.

Unexpectedly, Su Nanzhi stopped her.

”Don’t... I’m fine!”

Gritting her teeth, Su Nanzhi endured the scorching pain wracking her body. She struggled to move into a cross-legged position on the sofa and began to circulate her internal energy.

Time ticked away.

About two hours later, feeling the positive changes within her, she snapped her eyes open, her beautiful eyes trembling with excitement.

The female bodyguard asked eagerly, ”President Su, how do you feel?”

Su Nanzhi smiled. ”I can’t believe his medicine actually works!”

The bodyguard’s eyes widened in disbelief. ”President Su, who exactly is this Divine Doctor you found? He’s incredible!”

Su Nanzhi fell silent. As she recalled that handsome face, a faint smile appeared on her own.

Sun Zhe... what kind of person are you? The Wasting Cold affliction that has tormented the Su Family for generations, and you can resolve it with a single, simple prescription. At first, I didn’t believe you. Now it seems I was the one who was shortsighted.
