Zhao Xuelan was no fool. She naturally understood the meaning behind Liu Er Gou's words.
"Ahem, what I mean is, a small part of it was due to the acupuncture," she explained. "But for the most part, it was all thanks to you, Er Gou! If you weren't so strong and sturdy, sticking me full of needles like a hedgehog probably wouldn't have worked!"
These words from Zhao Xuelan greatly pleased Liu Er Gou. Of course, he knew it was the truth.
Just then, Zhao Xuelan asked, "Er Gou, do you have to go back now that my treatment is done?"
Liu Er Gou nodded.
"Yes. I've finished my business here, so I'll be heading back soon," he said. "I have a pile of things waiting for me, and my career has just started. I can't be away for too long."
Liu Er Gou wasn't lying. After all, dozens of acres of land were waiting for him. If anything went wrong with that land, it would be a significant loss, even with Lu Shuangyue backing him up. Barring any surprises, he had to return today.
