Miraculous Doctor in Flower City-Chapter 297:

Lu Lian heard this, and thought she had misheard.

It took her a dozen seconds of daze before she widened her beautiful eyes to look at Liu Sanming.

She initially thought her attempt to win him over had failed.

Unexpectedly, Liu Sanming offered a more favorable method for the Lin Family.

If the two acknowledged themselves as sworn siblings, then if the Lin Family needed help in the future, she could ask Liu Sanming, and he would surely assist.

The Lin Family wouldn't need to pay any remuneration.

Nor would there be any conflict between Liu Sanming and the Li Family.

It was truly a brilliant strategy that killed three birds with one stone.

But Lu Lian really couldn't figure out why Liu Sanming would voluntarily propose this idea.

She was no naive girl; she was a woman who had lived in the top-class Lin Family for over twenty years.

Lu Lian's insight and awareness were definitely above ninety-nine percent of the women on the market.

She believed that every speech and action of a person had motives and purposes.

Without motives, it was absolutely impossible.

But Lu Lian couldn't figure out why Liu Sanming proactively wanted to be recognized as siblings? For the Lin Family's connections? Then being a Mystic Study advisor would suffice, and he could earn a salary.

For associating with the Lin Family without provoking the Li Family?

But he's already the new king of the Daoist Sect, how could the Li Family dare show him any disrespect?

After much pondering, Lu Lian suddenly…

Had a bold and yet shamefully nerve-wracking guess emerge from her heart.

Could it be that this kid had taken a fancy to her?

She, as the Lin Family's woman, often interacted with some wealthy women and socialites.

She had long heard that Liu Sanming was a person full of deviousness, involved with many women.

Yet, these women were all very loyal to him, and none would speak ill of him.

Though Lu Lian was already forty-eight years old, in her youth, she was a campus flower with countless suitors.

After marrying Lin Haoyuan, those suitors dared not pursue further and became her secret admirers.

Occasionally, she received some cryptic gifts or messages expressing affection.

"Well, I certainly have no objections, just feel like I'm taking advantage of Dr. Liu, given that Dr. Liu is so young and promising, while I am old and faded," Lu Lian said with a shy smile, carefully probing.

Little did she know, Liu Sanming rose immediately after she spoke and walked slowly behind her while smiling.

His raised hands unexpectedly fell on her shoulders, beginning a gentle massage.

"Madam, in my eyes, you are not old at all, but rather the most flavorful beauty. Those with striking skeletal features are indeed beautiful. How could time and age ever affect you?" Liu Sanming sweetly said.

"You really know how to flatter... Alas, old is indeed old, that's something you can't hide," Lu Lian said, her charming face turning even redder upon hearing this.

Although she was often complimented by business friends or social acquaintances, she rarely interacted with men of Liu Sanming's age.

Occasionally, some young boys tried to woo her, but she directly blocked them.

As the distinguished matriarch of the Lin Family, reputation was everything. If rumors of her keeping a young boy circulated, Lin Haoyuan might kill her on the spot…

When Lin Haoyuan was young, he was a ruthless person.

Now, he appeared to be a cultured and elegant master of the family, but behind the scenes, his ruthless deeds were no less than his younger days.

"Madam, have you injured your shoulder? I noticed earlier when you were walking, your shoulder slightly slanted." Liu Sanming asked softly.

Lu Lian could not help but nod, "Ten years ago, I went hiking and got caught in heavy rain. I accidentally slipped and fell off the steps, tumbling down several tens of meters before stopping. I had shoulder surgery for a fracture, and since then, I've always had this slanted shoulder problem, impossible to cure."

"I see. Don't move, tonight I'll heal it for you, free of charge, just… as long as I can be your sworn brother." Liu Sanming said with a laugh.

"Really? Thank you so much, Dr. Liu! I've heard about your superb medical skills and now I can witness it myself tonight." Lu Lian said excitedly.

The slanted shoulder issue is neither too big nor too small.

Though it doesn't affect daily life, whenever she wears luxurious evening gowns to attend significant events, this minor shoulder issue always embarrasses her and affects her demeanor. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Still calling me Dr. Liu? Madam truly doesn't want to recognize me as your sworn brother?" Liu Sanming suddenly stopped his massage.

Lu Lian immediately felt a bit nervous.

She was genuinely afraid that Liu Sanming might get upset, missing the chance to win over Liu Sanming.

She quickly smiled and said, "I was wrong. Dear brother, don't be angry. I am an only child at home, from now on you'll be my only brother, I acknowledge this kinship."

"Great, thank you sister for the honor, haha!"

Liu Sanming resumed the massage and seemed overjoyed.

Lu Lian laughed as well, feeling unexpectedly youthful.

Her affection for Liu Sanming might not reach liking, but knowing Liu Sanming's abilities were substantial, having a brother like him wouldn't be bad.

As for whether Liu Sanming had fancying her looks, she didn't think much of it at this moment.

She determined that Liu Sanming wouldn't dare act inappropriately, and even if he dared, she would refuse.

Besides, she intended to offer some women to Liu Sanming voluntarily for entertainment later on.

Just like the female tea artist earlier.

As a man, Liu Sanming's energy was ultimately limited, with more women around, how could he have the energy to disturb her?

Lu Lian's calculations were indeed precise.

Yet, she didn't know Liu Sanming inherited the Joyful Buddha. Forget a few women, even dozens, or hundreds, he could handle with ease.

"Sister, close your eyes and relax completely. I'm going to start seriously massaging for treatment." Liu Sanming reminded.

Lu Lian nodded, slightly closed her eyes, letting her entire body become more relaxed.

Soon she felt a warm sensation slightly spreading from her shoulders and around her neck from Liu Bo's massage.

The sensation quickly enveloped her entire back and upper body, comforting her as if soaking in a hot spring.

Lu Lian usually enjoyed a life of luxury, often going to high-end places for massages.

Yet, those top-notch masseurs seemed not as comfortable as Liu Sanming's massage.

About two to three minutes later, Lu Lian leaned back comfortably, her head almost resting on Liu Sanming's abdomen.

Her delicate body seemed so relaxed that it was about to collapse to the floor.

Looking down from above, Liu Sanming happened to glimpse the scenery inside her collar.

Two white hemispheres and a deep career line.

Although not much different from other beautiful women, due to age, there was an added distinctive charm.

Mature women are like aged wine.

It takes a man of taste to unearth the most unique allure.

Liu Sanming obviously is a man of taste.

Seeing Lu Lian fully let down her guard, his lips slowly curled into a mischievous smile.

While his ten fingers infused with Profound Power, conducting a penetrating massage to repair the damaged meridians and muscles.

At the same time, his fingers discreetly pressed some rather special acupuncture points on her shoulders.

Though these points aren't female desire gates, they have special effects.

For instance —

Enthralling and mesmerizing, falling into illusions, unable to help oneself...

Obediently following orders, offering oneself...
