Doctor and His Glamorous Sister-in-Law-Chapter 688 - 691: Weight Loss Method

Hearing this, Liu Ergou nodded. "Yes, Auntie. Why bring this up all of a sudden? Did Xiaoyu say something to you? Or...?"

Hearing this, Feng Chunling quickly explained, "No, no, that’s not it, Er Gou! It’s not what you’re thinking! This has nothing to do with Xiaoyu.

"My point is, you’ve been in the village for almost a month. Aside from the few girls who came with you, everyone else is in the city.

"They must be missing you or worrying about you since they haven’t seen you for so long.

"So, I was thinking you could stay here for a few more days and then go visit them. It would put their minds at ease."

After hearing Feng Chunling’s explanation, Liu Ergou finally understood.

So that’s what she meant. I thought Lu Xiaoyu had said something to her. Turns out, I was just overthinking things. It seems I can be pretty narrow-minded sometimes.

Thinking of this, Liu Ergou felt a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, so that’s what you meant!" Liu Ergou nodded. "Alright, I understand, Auntie.

"I’ll stay here for a few more days before I go check on everyone. If you want to stay longer, just let me know. There’s no need to rush back.

"The plantation is on the right track now. It’s not busy yet, but if it gets busy, I’ll tell Hu Jing to hire more people. You don’t need to worry about things over there."

"Okay, as long as you understand. I won’t keep you then," Feng Chunling said before hanging up.

Liu Ergou sat there, lost in thought.

Feng Chunling is right, I should go see the others. After all, I’ve been gone for a full half-month. The only question is, who should I visit first?

After some consideration, he finally decided on a plan.

I’ll start with the people close to Lu Xiaoyu. Once I’ve seen them, I’ll move on to the others. In that case, Zhu Qiushui is the obvious first choice! There’s also the fact that she’s a patient. It’s been a while, so I should check on her condition.

With that settled, Liu Ergou didn’t hesitate. He got up and headed straight for Zhu Qiushui’s company.

A short while later, Liu Ergou arrived. The staff at Zhu Qiushui’s company already recognized him, so they didn’t stop him. Instead, they led him directly to the top floor, where Zhu Qiushui’s office was located.

Liu Ergou knocked gently on the door. A moment later, Zhu Qiushui’s voice came from inside the office. Listening closely, however, he could tell she sounded angry.

"Come in!"

Liu Ergou raised his eyebrows in confusion.

What’s wrong? Why is she so angry?

Despite his confusion, he didn’t dwell on it and pushed the door open, walking straight inside.

Zhu Qiushui was sitting behind her desk, diligently handling company affairs. Hearing the door open, she spoke without looking up. "Didn’t I tell you not to disturb me for any reason? Are you all treating my words as if they’re just hot air? Spit it out, and then get out of here! I have a mountain of work to deal with!"

Hearing her words, Liu Ergou smiled. "Sister Qiu Shui, what’s wrong? You sound quite fired up. Did something happen?"

Zhu Qiushui, absorbed in her work, froze when she heard Liu Ergou’s voice. Her head snapped up. The moment she saw it was him, her face lit up with joy. Forgetting all about her work, she rushed out from behind her desk and leaped toward him.

"Er Gou, you’re here!" Zhu Qiushui exclaimed, throwing herself into his arms. "What made you suddenly decide to come see me?"

Holding her in his arms, Liu Ergou couldn’t resist giving her a gentle squeeze. He sounded surprised as he spoke, "My, Sister Qiu Shui. It’s only been half a month since I was last here. How come you feel like you’ve lost weight?

"Fess up. Have you not been eating properly while I was away? Deliberately starving yourself?

"If that’s the case, I’m going to be angry!

"Besides, I came because I missed you. And you’re still my patient, so I had to come and check on your condition!"

Hearing his words, Zhu Qiushui giggled sweetly. "Hehe, I’ve been feeling great lately, no problems at all. As for why I’ve lost weight..."

At this, Zhu Qiushui wriggled free from his embrace. Standing before him, she declared proudly, "It’s because I’ve been working out seriously!

"Let me tell you, Er Gou! Ever since you started treating me, I’ve found my body has become incredibly strong.

"I can do so many exercises now that I couldn’t do before.

"Even though I’m busy, I still make sure to play badminton or go for a run every day. That’s why I’ve slimmed down so much!"

Liu Ergou simply nodded, saying nothing.

Her condition is perfectly normal; there are no issues. As for feeling stronger, that’s to be expected. Although her hereditary disease hadn’t flared up before, it always had some subtle effects. After my treatment, those effects disappeared and her condition improved significantly, which is why she feels stronger. This is a sign of a steady recovery.

Still, Liu Ergou said, "Oh, Sister Qiu Shui, didn’t I tell you? Your figure is perfect as it is. You don’t need to lose weight, so why are you trying to? Besides, this method of weight loss is highly inefficient!"

After saying this, Liu Ergou pulled Zhu Qiushui into a tight embrace. His two large, mischievous hands began to explore her body, making her burst out laughing from the ticklish sensation.

Looking at Liu Ergou, she naturally understood his meaning. "Oh? So my method is ’highly inefficient’?" Zhu Qiushui laughed. "In that case, little brother Er Gou, why don’t you recommend a better one for me?"

Liu Ergou knew exactly what she meant. Without another word, he swept her up in a princess carry and headed for the break room inside the office.
