Chapter 138: Chapter 138 My Kidneys Are Made of Iron!

"What are you busy with?"

At noon, right after Lin Fan returned to the company,

he received a phone call from Yang Linglong.

"Of course, I’m slaving away at work, what else?"

Sitting in his office, Lin Fan was still going through the investigation report he obtained from Ning Mengyao.

He knew it was a trap, yet he couldn’t find any issues.

That made him quite perplexed.

"There’s nothing interesting about working. Come shopping with me this afternoon, and also, I have a gift for you."

Yang Linglong said with anticipation.

"Do you think I’m some wealthy heiress like you? If I don’t work hard, I’ll literally be eating dirt next month."

Lin Fan immediately rejected.

Since he knew it was a trap, he had to find the issue as soon as possible.

Otherwise, once something really happened, it would be too late for regrets.

"But today is my birthday. Aren’t you going to keep me company at all, boyfriend?"

Yang Linglong immediately pretended to sob.

Her act was genuinely frustrating.

"Alright, you win, I’ll drive over to pick you up now."

Lin Fan stood up, feeling helpless.

The fragility of a woman is like a knife that kills without drawing blood.

Luckily, Ning Mengyao was busy with the acquisition of a medical aesthetic hospital.

She shouldn’t have time for him today.

So, a little slacking off it is then.

"No need, I just went to get your gift on my way here, and now I’m already in the underground parking lot. Just come down."

Yang Linglong playfully said.

Looking at the gift on the passenger seat,

she couldn’t wait to give it to Lin Fan.

"Why are you giving me a gift on your birthday?"

Lin Fan was puzzled.

"The gift is for you... and for me... it’s all the same, come down quickly."

As she spoke of the gift, Yang Linglong’s cheeks turned red as she looked at the thermos in her hands.

She had begged Ning Mengyao to get it from Li Qiqi.

It was said to be personally prepared by Divine Doctor Li Yizhen.

A drink from it was rumored to have immediate effects.

"Okay then."

Although he didn’t quite understand what Yang Linglong meant,

Lin Fan still hung up the phone and stepped into the elevator.

As the elevator slowly descended,

after a brief pause, a few women holding documents entered.

Before they even arrived, a burst of perfume wafted in.

Lin Fan instinctively lowered his head, avoiding the women’s gazes.

"It’s you!"

Unexpectedly, a woman’s voice spoke out.

It sounded somehow familiar to his ears.

When Lin Fan looked up, he saw the woman’s blushing face staring at him.

The other women looked on with interest at the two of them.

"Do we know each other?"

Lin Fan studied the vibrant young woman in front of him.

In her early twenties, her face was full of surprise.

"You have such poor memory, or is it... you only recognize me from the back?"

The woman tiptoed and whispered in Lin Fan’s ear.

This sentence suddenly triggered a memory in Lin Fan.

"Is... it... you..."

Wasn’t she the woman who had touched his butt in the elevator with Ning Mengyao?

They had met again later, and she used lipstick to write her phone number on a tissue before giving it to him.

He truly hadn’t expected to encounter her again so soon.

"Yeah, I’ve joined the Ning Group as an intern at the front desk. By the way, why haven’t you called me?"

The woman stared at Lin Fan, her face turning a shy red.

The voice was so excited it was almost off-key.

"I... am a bit busy,"

Lin Fan said, rubbing his nose awkwardly.

Who would have thought, in this day and age, there are still women who are so forward.

"Well, make sure you call me. Let’s hang out when we’re on holiday,"

the woman said, just as the elevator doors opened.

She, in her high heels, then hurriedly walked out.

The other colleagues followed, laughing and joking among themselves.

But within those smiles, there was an undercurrent of suggestive ambiguity.

"An unwarranted disaster,"

Lin Fan sighed helplessly.

Who would have thought a misunderstanding would stir up such a scandal?

This time he was really at a loss for words.

But this wasn’t the time to deal with this issue.

He took the elevator down to the underground parking lot.

Yang Linglong was already sitting in the passenger seat, excitedly waving to him.

"You’re getting bolder and bolder. Aren’t you afraid the capitalist darling will see?"

Lin Fan stepped up to the car, opened the door, and sat in the driver’s seat.

"She’s probably gone mad with work. She even forgot my birthday, so what if she sees? Worse comes to worst, I’ll just say I came to confront her about it,"

Yang Linglong pouted, handing Lin Fan a purple clay thermos. "This is your gift. Drink it quickly."

"Just drink whatever’s there? Do I really look that old, needing to carry a thermos wherever I go?"

Lin Fan looked at the thermos, the kind often used by elderly men in parks, with curiosity.

What on earth had she put inside?

"I went to a lot of trouble to get this medicine from Divine Doctor Li Yizhen in Jiangning. It’s really good for men. Drink up, I’ll bring you some every day from now on. Mr. Li said that with his prescriptions, seven doses are guaranteed to cure any illness,"

Yang Linglong said excitedly.

"From Li Yizhen?"

Lin Fan opened the cap, puzzled, and a strong scent of traditional medicine hit him.

"Horny goat weed, kidney herb, deer antler, dried ginger, monkshood, cinnamon, yang-rise rock, walnut meat... Damn, this is a full ten-ingredient tonic soup, and you’ve even increased the dosage. What are you trying to do?"

Smelling the pungent aroma, Lin Fan was astonished.

All these were ingredients known for strengthening the back.

If he downed it in one go, nosebleeds would be the least of his worries.

"You actually know traditional Chinese medicine, identifying the ingredients just by smell!"

Yang Linglong looked at Lin Fan, shocked.

Was his nose equipped with some kind of detection system?

"That’s not the point, okay? Who drinks a full tonic soup for no reason? If I drank this bowl, even an elephant couldn’t handle it. This isn’t a gift for me, you’re drugging me. I’m tough as nails, I don’t need any tonic,"

Lin Fan hurriedly screwed the cap back on.

If he smelled it any longer, he’d lose control.

"This is...to treat your illness. Don’t worry, I would never laugh at you or despise you. After all, even the toughest men have their weak moments, right? I believe Divine Doctor Li can surely cure you. Even if he can’t, I’ll still stay with you for a lifetime,"

Yang Linglong said, her face flushed and looking at Lin Fan shyly.

It must have been somewhat embarrassing for a young lady to prepare such medicine.

"What are you thinking? When did I ever say I was sick? I was being respectful, okay?"

Lin Fan thought back to the conversation he had overheard under the bed that night.

And he looked at Yang Linglong with resignation.

It wasn’t that he couldn’t, he had forced himself to hold back so as not to cross the line.

"We’re boyfriend and girlfriend now, you don’t have to be so respectful... I won’t resist!"

Yang Linglong pursed her lips and grabbed Lin Fan’s hand.

"Linglong, some things aren’t as simple as you think. How about we find a place and have a proper talk?"

For a moment, Lin Fan didn’t know how to explain.

After all, he was a married man.

If he did certain things without her knowing,

he’d be betraying his own conscience.

"Stop that, what’s the rush in broad daylight... besides, hotels aren’t safe... Come to my place tonight... We’ll communicate properly there!"

To his surprise, Yang Linglong gave him a bashful, love-filled roll of the eyes.

Divine Doctor Li Yizhen’s medicine was indeed powerful.

He just took a whiff, and already they needed to "communicate."

It seems the medicine shouldn’t be stopped.
