“Go keep Lin Jingying company next door. She’s leaving tomorrow. Spend one more night with her,” Liu Ruyan said.
“You’re not joking, are you?” Li Qianfan looked at Liu Ruyan in surprise.
“Do I look like I’m joking? It was Lin Jingying who begged me. She said you two might not meet again in the future. I felt soft-hearted and agreed to her request,” Liu Ruyan replied.
“Then I…”
Li Qianfan hesitated, carefully observing Liu Ruyan’s expression.
“Go now!” Liu Ruyan snapped.
Only then did Li Qianfan rush off like the wind to Lin Jingying’s luxurious suite.
That night, Lin Jingying was insatiable, greedily demanding again and again, as if she could never get enough.
She completely cast aside her pride and shame, trying anything and daring any position.
Li Qianfan secretly found it highly enjoyable, while Lin Jingying was thoroughly satisfied.
By the next morning, Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan set off together to escort Lin Jingying and her bodyguards to Dadong City Airport.
“I’ll never forget you two,”
Lin Jingying said as she embraced Li Qianfan and kissed him, then gave Liu Ruyan a kiss as well.
Li Qianfan seemed fine with it, but Liu Ruyan felt a little embarrassed.
After all, they were both women, and this was in public. Being kissed by Lin Jingying all of a sudden made Liu Ruyan feel a bit awkward.
Once Lin Jingying and her bodyguards departed on their flight, Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan returned to the hotel.
But as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Li Qianfan’s face changed.
At the entrance to his luxurious suite stood a group of people, all carrying large bags and packages. Leading the group was none other than the young girl, Li Xiaotong!
“Brother Li, so you weren’t in your room,” Li Xiaotong exclaimed excitedly when she saw Li Qianfan step out of the elevator. She then ran toward him enthusiastically.
Seeing that Li Xiaotong was about to fling herself into his arms, Li Qianfan hurriedly said, “Xiaotong, let me introduce someone to you. This is my wife, Li Lili.”
For now, Li Qianfan and Liu Ruyan’s true identities could not be revealed, so Li Qianfan used an alias for the introduction.
“You’re Li Xiaotong?”
Liu Ruyan asked as she scrutinized Li Xiaotong from head to toe.
Li Xiaotong curiously glanced at Liu Ruyan a few times, then blushed and said awkwardly, “Hello, Sister-in-law.”
“Don’t call me Sister-in-law—it makes me sound so old. Just call me Sister Lili,” Liu Ruyan said.
“Hello, Sister Lili,” Li Xiaotong quickly corrected herself.
With a meaningful look, Liu Ruyan said, “Xiaotong, I heard Qianfan—no, Li Xiang—say that you’ve taken good care of him?”
Liu Ruyan’s pointed remark made Li Xiaotong’s face flush crimson and filled her with nervousness.
Had her relationship with Brother Li been discovered by his wife?
What should she do now?
Panicking, Li Xiaotong quickly explained, “Sister Lili, it’s Brother Li who has taken care of me. He cured my mother’s illness and helped us settle our debts. That’s why I…”
“That’s why you what?” Liu Ruyan asked again.
Li Xiaotong’s face turned as red as blood, and her delicate hands fumbled awkwardly, unsure of where to place them.
“Alright, stop teasing her, or she’ll end up crying,” Li Qianfan interjected quickly.
Liu Ruyan huffed but finally stayed silent.
Turning to Li Xiaotong, Li Qianfan asked, “Xiaotong, what brings you here? And who are these people?”
The men and women carrying all those gifts, hearing this, immediately gathered around.
“You must be Divine Doctor Li Xiang, right? It’s a pleasure to meet you. I’m one of Xiaotong’s former neighbors.”
“We used to live in the same neighborhood until recently, when she and her mother moved away.”
“Divine Doctor, we’ve come to visit you. We’d like to request your help to treat our illnesses.”
“These are just small tokens of appreciation. Please accept them.”
The group spoke all at once, enthusiastically presenting their gifts to Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan found himself developing a headache.
Li Xiaotong had already called him before to let him know that some of her old neighbors had heard about her mother’s Syphilis recovery and wanted to seek his help.
At the time, Li Qianfan had flatly refused, as he was too busy.
Yet now, this group of people had shown up directly at his door, making things a little tricky.
“I’m sorry, but I’m really too busy right now,” Li Qianfan said, pretending to be troubled.
“Divine Doctor, please, we’re begging you! My mother broke her leg last year, and she still can’t walk.”
“My mother has been having recurring heart attacks…”
“Divine Doctor, my eight-year-old son has been paralyzed since birth. He still can’t walk. Please, I’ll even get down on my knees for you!”
A woman in her fifties said this and began to kneel before him.
Li Qianfan quickly grabbed her arm to stop her.
Feeling troubled, Li Xiaotong said, “Brother Li, if you have the time, please help them. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda of virtue.”
“But I’m not a monk. Why would I build a pagoda?” Li Qianfan muttered irritably.
But Liu Ruyan chimed in, “You seem to have time today. Since that’s the case, why not go check on them? These people seem quite pitiful.”
Even Liu Ruyan had spoken up!
Li Xiaotong’s request might have been easy to deny since Li Qianfan didn’t owe her anything.
But when it came to his wife’s wishes, how could he refuse?
Li Qianfan reluctantly agreed, “Alright… fine.”
Half an hour later, Li Qianfan, accompanied by Liu Ruyan, Li Xiaotong, and those carrying the gifts, arrived at the old neighborhood where Li Xiaotong and her mother, Cheng Shufen, used to live.
As they approached, they saw a large group of people already waiting. As soon as Li Qianfan arrived, before he could even speak, the woman in her fifties shouted, “Divine Doctor has agreed to treat us!”
“That’s wonderful!”
“Divine Doctor really is a great person!”
“Is this treatment free?”
“We’ve been waiting for so long. Can it start now?”
Dozens of voices chimed in all at once, their eyes filled with eager anticipation as they looked at Li Qianfan.
Left with no choice, Li Qianfan began treating the people there.
Someone brought over a table, and someone else brought a chair. Li Qianfan sat down behind the table and started diagnosing and treating the neighborhood residents in the courtyard.
“Don’t worry—your heart condition isn’t severe. It’s just a slight nerve issue causing phantom pain. I’ll perform some massage therapy, and you’ll be fine.”
“Your son’s paralyzed legs are tough to handle, but it’s not a problem for me. Watch closely.”
One by one, Li Qianfan treated the patients. No matter how severe the illness, as soon as it came to him, it was either immediately cured or showed significant improvement on the spot.
Before he knew it, it was 3 p.m. Li Qianfan had been treating patients for over five hours, helping at least forty to fifty people by now.
