Chapter 161: Chapter 159 Helping to Regulate
After another day of diligent effort, Gu Yue woke up the next morning.
And received a call from a good friend.
"Xiaoyue, it’s me."
Gu Yue, roused from sleep, couldn’t identify the caller by their voice.
"Who are you, and how did you get my number?"
"It’s Nini, I forgot to tell you, this is my new phone number, so save it. Besides, I need a favor from you, do you know any Chinese medicine doctors who are really skilled?"
It wasn’t until she heard the name "Nini" that Gu Yue suddenly sat up in bed.
"Oh, it’s you. I do know one, what’s wrong, are you feeling unwell?"
"It’s not me, it’s my mother-in-law. She’s been restless these past few days, either praying to Buddha or worshiping gods, and nothing seems to help. So, I thought to have a Chinese doctor come and give her a consultation."
Hearing the sound of running water from the bathroom, Gu Yue walked over to the bathroom door with her phone.
"Doctor Zhang, it’s for you."
Half an hour later, Gu Yue brought Zhang Hao to her good friend’s house.
Those who could call themselves friends with Gu Yue were also from well-to-do families.
"We haven’t seen each other in months, and you’ve become even more beautiful, and your complexion has improved a lot," Nini couldn’t help praising.
Gu Yue certainly knew the reason behind it.
It was simply not putting too much pressure on herself, and understanding the importance of balancing work and rest.
"This is a young doctor I’ve gotten to know recently; he’s very skilled in medicine. I think he should be able to address your urgent issue."
Nini sized up Zhang Hao and was first drawn to his handsome face.
"So young. Which hospital do you work at?"
Before Zhang Hao could speak, Gu Yue interrupted.
"You don’t trust my words? Better let your mother-in-law come out quickly, maybe Doctor Zhang will know what to do after taking her pulse."
Seeing the doctor was crucial, and Nini knew Gu Yue wouldn’t deceive her on this matter.
Upon seeing the patient, Zhang Hao also applied his expertise.
"How long has this difficulty in falling asleep at night been going on, and when did it start? What medicine have you taken in the meantime? Which doctor have you seen?"
After the inquiry, Zhang Hao decided to use acupuncture, stimulating the patient’s acupoints.
To allow her body to recover normally as quickly as possible.
However, by doing so, the treatment time increased drastically.
"Why don’t you stay for lunch today? I’ll make something," offered Nini.
"I’ll do it instead, I worry that after tasting your cooking, Doctor Zhang might need to rush out to buy insurance," Gu Yue joked.
"Do you have ingredients in the fridge?" Gu Yue asked.
Nini shook her head, saying, "I just got back, but the market is close to my home. If you don’t mind, could you run an errand and buy some for me?"
Since Zhang Hao obviously couldn’t leave at this critical juncture, the chore of shopping for groceries fell to Gu Yue alone.
No sooner had she left than Zhang Hao was alone, observing the patient’s condition.
"Doctor Zhang, could you please watch over things here? I didn’t get much rest last night and would like to catch some sleep. Make yourself at home," Nini said.
Being told to make oneself at home indicated the host’s trust in the visitor.
"Alright, and Miss Nini, you seem to have not been resting well recently, lacking sleep. Perhaps later I can write you a prescription, to help you recuperate properly," Zhang Hao suggested.
Nini smiled and didn’t say much.
She was well aware of her own health.
As she was leaving, Nini couldn’t resist asking one more question, "Doctor Zhang, are you married?"
Zhang Hao didn’t understand why she would ask, but he instinctively answered.
I’m not married yet.
"My room is right next door, so if you need anything, you can come and find me at any time."
After Nini left, Zhang Hao quietly waited in his room until the time came to remove the needles one by one.
After a busy morning without even a chance to drink water.
Zhang Hao helped himself to the kitchen, fetched a glass of water, and planned to go back and drink it slowly.
As he passed by Nini’s bedroom, he suddenly heard unusual sounds coming from inside.
"Husband... husband, harder, I want more!"
"I’m dying for you, why aren’t you coming back?"
"Every day I’m so repressed, if you don’t come back I won’t be able to hold on."
"Mmm... so big, push hard against me... ah, ah, ah!"
The sounds were intermittent and not clear, but Zhang Hao knew what was going on.
He deliberately lingered by the door a little longer and then coughed, pretending he knew nothing and went back to his room.
The suggestive sounds stopped abruptly, and soon he heard the sound of the door opening.
Nini came in, displeased, and saw Zhang Hao sitting on a chair with his legs crossed, looking down at his phone, feeling all kinds of annoyance.
"Doctor Zhang, I invited you here to treat my mother-in-law, not to waste time."
"I don’t know what you did to make Gu Yue trust you so much, but don’t think you’ll get past me."
Zhang Hao looked up at Nini with a smile and said, "Miss Nini, before you say that, shouldn’t you put on your clothes first?"
Nini looked down and realized she had taken off her bra before she was about to rest.
She was only wearing a loose linen nightgown, its thin fabric accentuating her two erect crimson cherries quite distinctly.
And the material was somewhat transparent.
"Doctor Zhang, you’ve seen what you shouldn’t have, you have to take responsibility for this."
Zhang Hao glanced at the aunt who was still sleeping on the bed.
"Let’s talk somewhere else, shall we?"
Nini looked at her mother-in-law, not wanting to expose the side of her that released desire in front of her.
So she agreed to Zhang Hao’s suggestion.
The two of them stepped outside into the corridor.
"Did you hear just now?"
Zhang Hao nodded: "It wasn’t very clear, but I guess Miss Nini’s husband doesn’t often come home, or else you wouldn’t miss him that much."
"But knowing I was coming, you still couldn’t restrain yourself and made such a big scene. What was it for?"
Nini didn’t speak but took out her phone and called Gu Yue.
"Gu Yue, how much longer will you be back?"
Gu Yue, who hadn’t found the market yet, sounded pitiful.
"Where exactly is the market you mentioned? I’ve been walking around and haven’t seen it."
Learning that it would be a long time before she returned, Nini’s face revealed an unusual expression.
"It’s okay, no rush. Take your time looking, and if you really can’t find it, just go buy vegetables at a market you’re familiar with. After all, the treatment for my mother-in-law isn’t finished yet."
After hanging up, Nini undid the buttons of her nightgown in front of Zhang Hao with nothing underneath.
The erect, shapely crimson cherries were most eye-catching.
"From the first moment I saw Doctor Zhang, I already had some ideas. My husband won’t be back for at least a month."
"The last time I had sex with my husband was three months ago, so if Doctor Zhang doesn’t mind, maybe you could help me with a treatment too."
