The Invincible Doctor of the Female Village Chief-Chapter 655 - 656: Video Call with Mengyu

It’s been over a month since they last parted in Ghost Wood City. Although it hasn’t been too long, for them, deeply in love, every minute and second feels like torture.

Liu Zixuan could see that Mengyu was trying hard to hide her excitement and thrill, as well as the tears in the corners of her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he smiled and said, "It’s been a while, hasn’t it? How have you been lately?"

"Not bad, just keeping busy with filming and some studio work. It’s been pretty uneventful. How about you?" Mengyu asked.

To an outsider, their back-and-forth conversation might seem a bit awkward, but they both knew that every word was spoken from the depths of their hearts.

Before Liu Zixuan could answer, a young girl holding a laptop beside them blurted out, "Sister Meng is lying again; she’s obviously not doing well." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"What’s wrong? Did something bad happen?" Liu Zixuan asked anxiously.

Mengyu quickly shook her head, "No, don’t listen to Lulu’s nonsense. Nothing’s wrong. Just focus on your work, alright?"

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "Alright, once I’m done here, I’ll come back to you!"

"Okay." Tears were already welling up in Mengyu’s eyes. Perhaps not wanting Liu Zixuan to see this, she said, "The director is calling me over there, so I’m going to hang up now. Let’s talk when we have time."

"Okay. Take care of yourself. Call me if anything comes up. No matter where you are, I’ll be there first thing."

As Liu Zixuan finished speaking, the video call ended. But just the instant the screen went black, Mengyu couldn’t hold back her tears any longer and whispered softly, "How could I be doing well without you!"

After closing the laptop, the young girl said to Liu Zixuan, "Brother-in-law, you probably have a lot of questions now, don’t you?"

"You little trickster, you knew I’d have questions and still played games!" Liu Zixuan replied sullenly.

"You guys go down, I’ll have a chat with my brother-in-law," the young girl said to the few sturdy men nearby.

After those sturdy men left, the young girl invited Liu Zixuan and the others into the room.

"Please have a seat," the young girl smiled.

Liu Zixuan sat on a chair, while Bai Jingjing stood by the wall with a puzzled expression. Liu Zixuan had a lot of questions to ask, and so did Bai Jingjing; when she left, there was no Mengyu by Liu Zixuan’s side!

Noticing Gu Yu also about to sit down, the young girl Lulu suddenly scolded, "Stand up!"

"Really? Can’t even sit?" Gu Yu said with an aggrieved face.

It truly seems that every strong thing has its nemesis. Even the omniscient Master Gu Yu was subdued by this seemingly adorable young girl.

Lulu placed her hands on her hips and scolded, "Until you agree to be my man, I won’t let you sit!"

"I..." Gu Yu’s face turned red as he squatted next to the sofa, "If I can’t sit, I’ll squat!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Zixuan laughed, "It’s the first time I’ve seen someone so afraid of a future wife when there’s not even an inkling of marriage yet!"

"She’s not my wife!" Gu Yu muttered.

Lulu didn’t pay attention to him but happily sat beside Liu Zixuan and said, "Brother-in-law, I never thought you were friends with that rascal, nor did I expect us to meet this way!"

Liu Zixuan shrugged, "Yeah, it’s also my first time hearing it’s the woman marrying the man, not the other way around!"

"Hehe." Lulu smiled sweetly. Despite being fierce towards Gu Yu, her eyes were filled with love when she looked at him.

"Hmm... I know you have many questions, so I’ll explain in detail, and then you can ask if you have more questions, alright?" After a while, Lulu spoke up.

Liu Zixuan nodded in agreement.

"According to the plan of Xiumei Group, there’s no Xiumei lingerie flagship store in Celestial Fate City or Tianchen City, because these two cities are set to merge, and opening a flagship store could risk a downturn in market economy."

"But when it was confirmed you had arrived in Celestial Fate City, sister Yiyi had sister Meng transfer funds from the Xiumei Group to open a flagship store here."

"I guessed it was little rascal Yiyi’s doing," Liu Zixuan asked, "And what about you? I don’t remember seeing you in Ghost Wood City before."

Lulu nodded, "I’m not from Ghost Wood City. I met sister Meng in Central Province. We encountered some difficulties then, and sister Meng helped us out and took us to Ghost Wood City. After spending some time together, sister Meng asked us to come here."

"Us? Is there anyone else besides you?" Liu Zixuan asked.

"And my brother," Lulu smiled wryly. "But my brother is eccentric and doesn’t like meeting strangers, so he didn’t come out to greet you. Don’t mind that."

"Not at all, please continue," Liu Zixuan said with a smile.

"Sister Meng said if you discover this place, you would definitely come, and if you did, I should contact her." Lulu grinned mischievously, "Besides, this isn’t just a flagship store!"

"What is it then?" Liu Zixuan asked curiously.

"You saw those sturdy men earlier, right? They were chosen to help you by sister Meng, sister Zhou from Ghost Wood City, and some others I’m not acquainted with. They’re skilled in martial arts, really impressive!" Lulu said cutely.

Hearing this, Liu Zixuan fell silent, feeling a warm current in his heart, filling him with happiness.

He realized that in this unfamiliar land, he wasn’t fighting alone; there were those who loved him and whom he loved, thinking of him from afar despite the miles that separated them.

Seeing Liu Zixuan silent, Lulu smiled and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you especially moved now?"

"Of course." Liu Zixuan nodded seriously.

"I was also very touched when I learned about this!" Lulu clasped her hands together, grinning, "I even envy you, having such a wonderful girlfriend like sister Meng!"

"Ahem." Bai Jingjing coughed, "Don’t think too highly of him."

"Miss, what’s your relationship with brother-in-law Zixuan?" Lulu asked.

"I... I..." Bai Jingjing stuttered without saying anything specific, waving her hand, "You guys continue your chat, why talk about me!"

Liu Zixuan chuckled and turned to Lulu, "What about you and Gu Yu? I heard he touched your hand, and then you had him captured?"

"It’s not that simple. I’m not that conservative; just touching my hand wouldn’t make me so angry!" Lulu said with an angry tone towards Gu Yu, "Hmph, he’s an unprecedented scoundrel!"
