Chapter 625: Chapter 625 Whatever it takes!_1
Xu Keqing’s resentment ran so deep it almost caught up with Dou’er’s; Li Qing had to fulfill her minor wish first no matter what.
A gap that fails to be filled in time is bound to become a problem.
Li Qing couldn’t allow the possibility of Xu Keqing, in a fit of pique, throwing herself into someone else’s arms.
"Then I’ll wait for you to get off work," Li Qing said softly.
"Should I call over Lady Lu?" Xu Keqing asked with a sly smile, whispering in Li Qing’s ear.
Li Qing’s interest was instantly piqued. If the space in Xu Keqing’s place was too cramped for action, Li Qing even considered calling over Sister Hu as well—having one on the bed and two under it would surely be thrilling.
Seeing the sleazy expression on Li Qing’s face, Xu Keqing instantly understood his thoughts, "Just wait a moment, I’ll call over our esteemed Lady Lu. This woman is getting more and more delicate by the day, strutting around like a proud little peacock."
"You must be joking. The Beauty Elixir I concocted is worth a car; how could it be ineffective!" Li Qing said irritably.
Youngsters like Han Mei and Wu Xingxing were naturally youthful-looking, so the transformation didn’t seem as evident.
But for Lu Furong and Sister Hu who were in a different age bracket, after using the Immortality Elixir, it was as if the world had turned upside down, and they seemed to have rejuvenated a good ten years. A woman’s face, no matter how powerful the cosmetics, there are some things that simply cannot be hidden.
The marks of time will still show through.
But what cosmetics can’t do, the Immortality Elixir can.
It was truly a transformation of rejuvenation; otherwise, the Elixir wouldn’t fetch such an exorbitant price.
Gently touching her tender cheek, Xu Keqing said with a pitiful look, "Why is it effective for others but I can’t see any difference? Could it be because my base condition is too poor? Qingzi, do you have any more? Give me another one."
Li Qing was speechless, "I don’t believe none of your colleagues have complimented you on looking younger and prettier lately? I think your eyes are fixed on others, completely ignoring your own changes."
"There’s still some left. When the next batch is ready, I’ll bring it over to you!"
Not noticing any changes, Li Qing knew this was just an excuse from Xu Keqing.
Her goal was to score a few more Immortality Elixirs.
However, Li Qing intended to prioritize the women around him with this stuff; the prettier they became, the more motivated he felt!
This was all complementary; who else to give first if not to them?
He wasn’t as anxious about money now.
Instantly, Xu Keqing’s eyes sparkled with excitement, as she grabbed Li Qing’s arm and shook it vigorously, "Really? I will definitely perform well in the future. You can have whatever you want from me. I saw a patient yesterday who had crammed not one, but two toys in there, and because of a collision, there was a short circuit and they had to be brought to me in an emergency."
"Would you like to try something like that? I know of some pants that are safer and won’t fall inside and get stuck. I can wear them, and you can control them with a remote."
Li Qing’s interest was piqued again, and he asked in a hushed tone, "Do you have anything on hand right now?"
"I can have Lady Lu buy it when she comes; they should have those sorts of things in the bigger stores," Xu Keqing said, giving Li Qing a coquettish glance and speaking softly.
"Why not just buy two sets in one go?" Li Qing chuckled mischievously.
Xu Keqing’s mouth curled into a smile as she whispered, "I knew you’d think that way. I promise to take great care of you today, brother. Even if it kills me, that’s fine."
Li Qing stealthily pinched Xu Keqing’s perky and soft rear, "Hurry and see off your patients; I’ll wait for you here."
"Okay! Wait for me, brother," Xu Keqing whimpered softly, her waist twisting like a bending willow as she departed.
Li Qing couldn’t help but smile. Although Xu Keqing did have her little schemes,
But as long as she was fed, she was very generous.
She was willing to try out any kind of play.
Just like some big shots say, people with obvious flaws are easier to control.
Xu Keqing’s flaws were quite exposed.
Whether she was easy to control or not, Li Qing didn’t really care, all he valued was the return.
And the return from Xu Keqing was indeed very passionate, willing to give and take big risks.
Li Qing turned and entered the hospital room.
It seemed that, because of Li Qing, Xu Keqing took extra care of Zi Ling, arranging a private room for her.
This kind of room was not something ordinary people could enjoy in most hospitals, starting with the exorbitant price.
Secondly, most people don’t even know about it.
When Li Qing walked into the room, Shisan was peeling an orange for Zi Ling, who was lying on the hospital bed, looking every bit the boss, holding a cellphone and chasing a drama series, apparently watching a horror movie considering the screaming and shrieking.
"You sure know how to enjoy yourself!" Li Qing said with a laugh, found a seat for himself, and sat down on a chair by the window.
The perks of a private hospital room included even the chairs being massage chairs, making it extremely comfortable to recline in.
The sunlight outside was just right, spilling over the small balcony.
If there were a cup of tea, it would be so relaxing.
This was Li Qing’s idea of the most enjoyable way to spend an afternoon.
His gaze wandered around but, although he spotted a water dispenser, he couldn’t find any tea.
"Why are you here?" Zi Ling asked somewhat surprisingly.
"We’ll talk about it later!" Li Qing stood up and headed straight out of the room.
Zi Ling clenched her fair little fist tightly and indignantly said to Shisan, "If I weren’t injured right now, I would crack open his head to see, just see, what kind of attitude that is? He is supposed to be here to see me, but he’s acting like he’s the boss."
"Senior Sister, you seem to be unable to beat Senior Brother Li..." Shisan said youyou.
Zi Ling raised her hand and slapped Shisan on the forehead, "Which eye of yours saw that I can’t beat him? As long as he doesn’t use the Thunder Method, I could beat him to a pulp in a minute."
Shisan rubbed his forehead and muttered: "Senior Sister, are you sure you have a way to deal with Senior Brother Li’s arrow?"
"How could I not have a way? Don’t underestimate your Senior Sister. It’s just an arrow, what’s so great about that?" Zi Ling said angrily, "A lowlife using arrows is quite fitting for him, he seems pretty clear about his own worth."
As the two were talking, Li Qing came in holding a cup of tea.
Zi Ling immediately shut up, puffed up with anger, staring at Li Qing with an unsatisfied look, "Where did you get the tea from? I want some too!"
"Why would you drink it, the sick should stick to plain water. Shisan, pour your Senior Sister a cup." Li Qing said nonchalantly.
"Alright." Shisan responded.
He was about to get up but was yanked back by Zi Ling, "You sit there, keep peeling oranges, I want to eat an orange."
Shisan had no choice but to sit down and continue peeling oranges for Zi Ling.
