Chapter 297: Chapter 294: Don’t Leave Tonight
For a moment, the headache had gone away, the back was no longer sore, and the overall complexion had improved.
"Doctor Zhang, to call you over so late, I didn’t expect you would actually come."
Seeing how gently Liang Xi spoke, Zhang Hao took two steps back.
"Miss Liang, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"My chest feels uncomfortable. I’ve heard that traditional Chinese medicine includes acupressure. Could you please help me with that, Doctor Zhang?"
Zhang Hao was especially hoping that Liang Yun would hurry up with the teapot.
If she were here, even if he had to take off Liang Xi’s clothes, he would still be innocent.
Yet, that teapot took half an hour to come back, and it still hadn’t arrived.
Liang Xi, in order to get better results from the acupressure, simply took off her top.
She lay on the bed wearing only a plain undershirt.
"Doctor Zhang, your hands are so soft, and it feels so good when you press. You’re even better than a female therapist. Can you please go a little lower?"
Zhang Hao glanced at her. If he went any lower, he feared he would touch something critical.
"Miss Liang, I am a doctor, and I think you should trust my judgment, rather than making decisions on your own."
"But I’m not making my own decisions. I just want you to press a few more spots for me. Is that not okay?"
Zhang Hao knew very well what Liang Xi was thinking.
If he really did as she asked and massaged the places she mentioned,
and if she turned the tables on him and accused him of inappropriate behavior, he wouldn’t be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
And at this time, Liang Yun still had not come back.
Just as Zhang Hao’s attention lapsed for a moment, Liang Xi grabbed his hand and forcefully pressed it against the softness of her side.
Even through the undershirt, he could feel the fullness and elasticity there.
Zhang Hao jerked his hand away like he’d been electrocuted, trying to break free.
But Liang Xi caught his wrist with her other hand, making it impossible for him to pull away.
"Doctor Zhang, I’m really happy that you came tonight for me. If it weren’t for you,"
"I definitely wouldn’t have had the determination to leave my ex-husband."
"Haven’t you noticed that I treat you very differently from other men?"
Whether she did or not, Zhang Hao couldn’t say right now,
after all, he wasn’t a worm in Liang Xi’s stomach; how could he know exactly what she was thinking?
"I’m just an ordinary person. You think I’m good now because you don’t really know me."
"If one day you understand me, you’ll realize I’m no different from other men."
"So please don’t view me through any filter. Besides, I’m not without someone I like. Miss Liang, acting like this makes it somewhat difficult for me."
Seeing Zhang Hao say this, Liang Xi’s curiosity was piqued.
"Who is the person you like? Is she prettier than me?"
Zhang Hao finally broke free from Liang Xi’s grip, and he took her clothes that she had removed and covered her with them.
"In terms of appearance, she’s naturally not as pretty as Miss Liang, but I like her a lot."
Liang Xi said casually, "It seems that the saying ’beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ is not a lie."
"Don’t you think, Doctor Zhang, that a young and promising man like yourself"
"shouldn’t be confined to just one woman? I really do admire you."
Suddenly, footsteps were heard from outside, and Liang Xi deliberately took off the clothes covering her.
Liang Yun came in holding the teapot and, seeing the suggestive scene in the room, showed no surprise.
"Doctor Zhang, how is my little cousin doing?"
Zhang Hao shook his head and said, "It’s nothing serious, probably just some discomfort due to the weather."
"I’ll prescribe her two prescriptions in a moment, and it’ll trouble Mrs. Liang to brew it for her to drink. She’ll be fine in a couple of days."
After Zhang Hao spoke, he picked up his medicine box and was about to leave.
Liang Xi quickly gave her cousin a look, signaling her to chase after him quickly, they couldn’t let him get away.
Liang Yun put down the teapot, her eyebrows puckered, as she looked at her younger cousin.
She whispered, "Are you really going to do this? I think this Doctor Zhang is a decent man."
"If you insist on doing this, what will you do if he refuses?"
Liang Xi gathered her hair to one side, "Cousin, I’ve been married to that man for two years, and I’ve been like a widow these two years."
"It’s rare to come across someone I feel for, you can’t not help me."
"Besides, aren’t you and your husband still like you were at twenty, all thanks to this Doctor Zhang?"
Liang Yun coughed twice, thinking that this young girl had learned nothing good, only the bad.
"I will help you this one last time, but if Doctor Zhang absolutely refuses, there’s nothing I can do."
Liang Xi nodded again and again, she couldn’t believe there was a man who wouldn’t want to fall at her feet.
Unless that man was incapable.
After Liang Yun came out of the guest room, she saw Zhang Hao standing alone at the corner of the stairs.
It seemed he was waiting for her, so Liang Yun also hurried over.
When she got close, "I’m sorry, Doctor Zhang, for my little cousin. If she has offended you,"
"you mustn’t take it to heart. That’s just the way she is, spoiled since childhood."
"Even now, after one divorce, she’s still somewhat immature."
Zhang Hao naturally wouldn’t hold a grudge against Liang Xi.
"It’s nothing, so after I write the prescription, I can go back, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liang Yun couldn’t stop wracking her brain, how could she make Zhang Hao stay?
"I checked the weather this afternoon, and it said there’s going to be a storm tonight."
"Not sure when it will start, but it’s certainly not a short journey for you to come here, Doctor Zhang."
"If you encounter a storm on your way back, wouldn’t that be dangerous? Anyway, I have plenty of guest rooms here."
"Why not stay the night and not go back? You can go directly to the hospital from here early in the morning, which is quite convenient."
Even though Liang Yun said this, Zhang Hao still insisted he would leave after writing the prescription for Liang Xi.
If it really rained, he could simply stay at a hotel for the night.
Upon arriving at the living room on the first floor, Zhang Hao took out paper and a pen and wrote a prescription.
Seeing that she couldn’t stop him, Liang Yun had to feign illness herself.
"Ah, Doctor Zhang, you really shouldn’t leave tonight."
"These past two days, I’ve been feeling chest tightness and short of breath, I don’t know if I ate something wrong."
With both women pretending to be sick in front of him, Zhang Hao was helpless.
"Mrs. Liang, if you genuinely feel unwell, I advise you both to go see a doctor,"
"get a comprehensive check-up to know the specific situation, and then you can get the right treatment."
Liang Yun clutched her chest and frowned, "Doctor Zhang, do you intend to not save me when I’m dying? I’m really feeling very terrible right now."
"Besides, my husband isn’t here today. What do you expect me, a frail woman, to do?"
Zhang Hao sighed internally, feeling that the Liang cousins indeed had cunning methods.
Without seeming to force him to stay, they made it so that he had no choice but to remain.
