Chapter 124: Chapter 122: As if Nothing Had Happened
Lin Wan came to the treatment room alone, preparing the needles for acupuncture and other necessary items one by one.
Right on her heels, Zhang Hao arrived with a patient.
The patient lay on the treatment bed, exposing the painful area.
Zhang Hao first pressed on the painful spot with his hands, to which the patient cried out in pain.
"It seems to be a sprain. You probably don’t need acupuncture. I’ll massage it to ease the pain," he said.
The patient naturally did not object to Zhang Hao’s method of treatment.
Lin Wan watched from the side; she had never personally seen how Zhang Hao treated patients.
Especially since traditional Chinese medicine was his forte.
"Mr. Zhang, your technique is so gentle," she remarked.
Upon hearing the nurse’s comment, the patient quickly agreed, "It’s better gentle. If the movements are too rough, it would be very painful."
Zhang Hao felt that what both of them were saying was normal, but also realized it could be easily misconstrued.
"Currently, the number of patients visiting our department is not that high, so I can still keep my temper in check," he remarked.
"If there comes a day when we’re seeing hundreds of patients daily, I doubt I’ll have the same patience as now," Zhang Hao self-deprecatingly added.
After massaging the patient for about twenty minutes, Zhang Hao asked Lin Wan to take over.
Lin Wan had never dealt with traditional Chinese medicine before but followed Zhang Hao’s guidance.
She applied pressure to the patient’s uncomfortable spots to alleviate the discomfort.
After the treatment, the patient’s back pain had greatly subsided.
"Doctor Zhang, your medical skills are truly incredible. I’ve been to several hospitals without improvement, but coming here has relieved most of the pain. I’ll bring you a banner tomorrow; Hua Tuo is indeed alive," the patient exclaimed jovially before departing.
Lin Wan tiptoed and spun around to sit on the treatment bed.
"Mr. Zhang, I’m also feeling unwell. I need you to give me an acupuncture treatment," she teased.
Fortunately, Zhang Hao’s self-control was quite solid, unmoved despite her attempts at seduction, he even managed to turn the tables on her.
He grabbed Lin Wan’s plump leg and lifted her from the treatment bed.
"We’re currently working. I hope Nurse Lin can maintain some professional ethics and not think about inappropriate things during work hours," he chided.
Lin Wan was amused by Zhang Hao’s feigned seriousness.
"Alright then, tonight, you’re coming with me," she declared.
Perhaps it was their familiarity that allowed Lin Wan to be so unrestrained around Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao was also happily engaged, and the rest of the workday went smoothly with impeccable cooperation between them.
At the end of the day, Zhang Hao and Lin Wan left the department together.
As they walked out, Lin Wan naturally handed her car keys to Zhang Hao.
She stretched and said, "I haven’t worked in almost a month, so suddenly starting again feels a bit unusual."
Zhang Hao accompanied her to the parking lot and inquired, "Where to next?"
"Heading home, where else could I go?" she responded.
"You still living over there?" Zhang Hao inquired.
If she was still living at her previous place, the commute would be quite long.
Lin Wan giggled, "Just kidding. I’ve moved closer; it’s just two stops away in a residential complex."
Zhang Hao drove Lin Wan home, and indeed it was a residential area just two stops away, as she stated.
Lin Wan had recently rented a new apartment there and her belongings had just been moved in, yet to be organized.
Zhang Hao, playing the role of a mover, helped her with the heavy lifting.
After finally settling all the large items, Lin Wan was left to take care of the smaller things.
Watching her hang her clothes in the wardrobe one by one,
Zhang Hao felt that this meticulous task was not something he could handle.
"Is there anything you’re still missing here?"
Lin Wan joked, "Yes, a man."
Zhang Hao ignored her comment and walked into the living room, looking around. The landlord had provided all the necessary appliances.
As for the rest of her things, Lin Wan also brought them all over herself.
Probably only after living here for a while would she know what was missing.
However, the refrigerator was still empty.
"Let’s go buy some groceries later," Zhang Hao suggested.
Lin Wan neatly categorized her few sets of lingerie and placed them in the bottom drawer of the wardrobe.
At the same time, half the space in her suitcase was occupied with her secret weapon.
She was too embarrassed to take these out in front of Zhang Hao.
But he discovered them anyway: "Aren’t you going to take out the things here?"
Before his voice faded, Zhang Hao picked up the black bag.
The next second, there was a rustling sound, and it turned out that the black bag was filled with a variety of little toys Lin Wan used on a regular basis,
all shapes and sizes, all kinds.
Zhang Hao crouched on the ground, looking helplessly at her.
"These things have already been cleaned, just put them in the bottom drawer for me," Lin Wan said.
Since Zhang Hao was the one who made the mess, it was only right for him to clean and organize it.
The toys varied in length and girth, and there were several types of vibrating eggs alone.
Zhang Hao put each one into the drawer, one by one.
"You girls are really too greedy."
Lin Wan was sitting on the bed, and without realizing it, she spread her legs.
When he turned around, he caught sight of it just right.
If Xu Mi’s changing her clothes in her bedroom yesterday was unintentional,
then Lin Wan’s actions now were deliberate.
Lin Wan beckoned to Zhang Hao with her fingers.
"The last time I was with you, that was months ago, it’s been a long time since I had any meat sausage here."
With that, Zhang Hao stood up and approached her.
Faced with her provocative seduction, Zhang Hao couldn’t hold back.
"A woman like you, how could you possibly not find someone else? I don’t believe you haven’t had anyone else here."
"Then why don’t you slip your fingers in and feel if it’s gotten looser?"
No sooner had she spoken than Lin Wan spread her legs wider, and Zhang Hao, following her instruction, reached in.
The moment his hand touched, Lin Wan took a deep breath.
As if she’d been waiting a long time, finally granted her wish.
Seeing her react so strongly, Zhang Hao immediately withdrew his hand.
"I believe you, I believe you!"
Seeing Zhang Hao teasing her, she got angry and clenched her fists, pounding them twice against his chest.
"Zhang Hao, you’re doing this on purpose."
Zhang Hao looked down at her from above and only then did he notice how cute she looked when she got angry.
"I went through so much trouble to finally come work by your side, and not only do you not welcome me, you even mock me. Had I known, I wouldn’t have come."
Lin Wan propped herself up with her arms on the bed, leaning her body slightly backward.
If Zhang Hao were to pounce on her now, it would be easy to pin her beneath him.
"You’re not eating dinner tonight, hurry up and get dressed, let’s go down to the supermarket and see if there are any veggies left." Hmm
Lin Wan said calmly, "Then take out that pink one from the drawer, and stuff it in for me."
Zhang Hao had a look of resignation but complied anyway.
He took the pink vibrating egg from the drawer.
And expertly inserted it for her.
Once they were out the door, Zhang Hao pressed the remote control.
Lin Wan had no choice but to clench her legs together, all the while trying to appear nonchalant.
