Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Wait a Moment
Liu Zheng held her in his arms, and Wu Min’s face turned red involuntarily.
However, she didn’t resist, merely biting her lower lip as she let Liu Zheng tease her.
But after a short while, Wu Min, her face flushed, said, "Xiao Zheng, stop it, have you forgotten? Your sister-in-law has her relatives over these past two days, and Yun Yun will be coming here later. You absolutely can’t let her see this!"
Upon hearing Sister-in-law Wu Min’s words, Liu Zheng’s restless heart instantly calmed down.
Although he calmed down and his hands became well-behaved, he didn’t let go of Wu Min’s delicate body.
He held her tightly and then whispered in Wu Min’s ear, "Sister-in-law, come to my room tonight, ha!"
Speaking of which, Liu Zheng was really feeling pent up.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so direct with Wu Min, telling her to come to his room later at night.
Had it been any other time, Wu Min might have declined out of shyness upon hearing Liu Zheng’s words.
But now, she didn’t dare not agree.
Tang Yunyun was coming over soon, and she didn’t dare to let Liu Zheng continue holding her.
If Tang Yunyun were to see her intimate with Liu Zheng, it would definitely cause problems.
Thinking this, she quickly nodded her agreement.
Seeing Wu Min agree so readily, Liu Zheng finally released Liu Suqiu’s tender body with reluctance.
It was just a few seconds after he let go of Wu Min’s tender body when Tang Yunyun’s voice came from outside the courtyard, "Liu Zheng, I need a bit of help here, come over, ha!"
Hearing Tang Yunyun’s voice, Wu Min couldn’t help but startle, her little heart nearly leaping out.
She shot Liu Zheng a reproachful look, very much with the air of someone with a guilty conscience.
Yet Liu Zheng, unconcerned, was grinning mischievously, looking thrilled and excited.
He shouted back loudly, "Okay, I’m coming right now!"
As he spoke, he didn’t forget to take advantage of Wu Min’s tender body before leaving the kitchen.
Wu Min was already frazzled, and Tang Yunyun’s voice made her blush even more.
Now, having been pinched by Liu Zheng, she felt utterly embarrassed and even let out a soft cry.
Fortunately, the cry was not loud, and Wu Min, who had felt utterly at a loss, snapped back to her senses and hurriedly busied herself in the kitchen.
In doing so, she managed to alleviate the awkwardness she felt.
Liu Zheng, on the other hand, smiled and left with the ointment and medicinal soup he had prepared.
Tang Yunyun had already come out of the house, slowly walking to the gate between the two courtyards.
Seeing Liu Zheng carrying medicine out and noticing there were two doses, she frowned and asked, "These... you’re carrying two doses of medicine, does it mean they’re both for me?"
"Yes! One of the doses is soup to drink, and the other is an ointment to apply."
While speaking, Liu Zheng gestured with his hand, meaning for Tang Yunyun to follow him to the next room for further conversation.
Soon, the two of them reached the room next door.
After entering the room, Liu Zheng placed the two bowls of medicine on the table and then smilingly asked, "Yun Yun, what was it that you wanted to talk about when you called for me just now?"
"When I called you earlier, I actually wanted to discuss the rent with you, and also how to handle the food expenses for the upcoming days," she said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zheng’s brows instantly furrowed.
"Yunyun, we’re friends, and you’re here specifically to guide me on how to grow herbs," Liu Zheng said. "You haven’t taken any money from me; instead, I’m the one trying to take your money first. How can that be right?"
After saying this, Liu Zheng waved his hands dismissively, then continued, "Alright, listen to me, from now on, you’ll live here with peace of mind, and I’ll take care of all your living expenses."
As he spoke, Liu Zheng picked up a bowl of herbal soup from the table and said, "Come on, let’s not talk about anything else for the moment. Drink this bowl of soup first."
Hearing that she needed to drink herbal medicine, Tang Yunyun’s face couldn’t help but show a bitter expression, even though she had more to say.
She really didn’t want to drink it, and she still wanted to insist on the matter that Liu Zheng just talked about.
But.
Her insistence seemed futile, so under Liu Zheng’s persistent coaxing, she had no choice but to take the herbal soup and tilt her head back, downing the entire bowl in a few gulps.
Watching Tang Yunyun drink the herbal soup, Liu Zheng smiled, took the empty bowl, and set it aside.
However, at that time, Yunyun’s face was all bitter and twisted from the herbal medicine.
But it did look quite cute.
Liu Zheng, however, didn’t concern himself with that and picked up a bowl of ointment, saying, "The internal medicine is done, now it’s just the external application left."
Looking at Liu Zheng holding the ointment, Tang Yunyun frowned slightly.
She twitched her little nose, then stared at the ointment in Liu Zheng’s hand and hesitantly asked, "That, um... can’t we just skip the external application?"
Tang Yunyun was a girl who easily got embarrassed.
Of course, she knew exactly what Liu Zheng meant by wanting to apply the medicine on her.
The matter was too embarrassing, and she really felt uneasy about it.
So, thinking of that embarrassing scene, Tang Yunyun at that moment didn’t even dare to look at Liu Zheng.
Hearing her say this, Liu Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he sighed helplessly.
He really wanted to apply the medicine on Tang Yunyun, and she had already agreed to it back at Renxin Hall.
But now she was having second thoughts, which made Liu Zheng quite disappointed.
However, she was a girl, after all; he couldn’t force her to let him apply the ointment, right?
After thinking it over, Liu Zheng shook his head with a look of regret and said, "It’s not that we can’t avoid it. Actually, it’s possible not to apply the medicine, but... the course of treatment might take a bit longer."
As he spoke, he made his way towards the door, saying, "What a pity! Such a waste of herbs, they’ll just have to be thrown away."
While saying this, Liu Zheng was already walking towards the door with the bowl of ointment in his hand.
Seeing Liu Zheng about to throw away the ointment, Tang Yunyun felt a pang of guilt inside.
Yes.
Liu Zheng had kindly and considerately prepared the ointment for her, even paying for it himself, and it seemed such a waste to just throw it away.
But.
Thinking of the embarrassing moment during application of the medicine, Tang Yunyun’s face couldn’t help but flush with waves of redness.
What should she do?
Seeing Liu Zheng about to reach the door, if he really left, what then?
Coming to this realization, Tang Yunyun finally gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
She reached out in Liu Zheng’s direction and, as if squeezing the words through the gap in her teeth, said, "Wait a moment."
