Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Men are meant to be flirted with

"Mr. Lin will be arriving soon, and you must perform well and strive to leave a good impression, hoping to be happily married to him in the future!"

Inside Medicine King House, Li Yizhen instructed his granddaughter Li Qiqi with joy.

She had been urgently called back home from studying abroad.

"Grandfather, what era are we living in that you can still arrange marriages?"

The just-turned-eighteen Li Qiqi was also of extraordinary beauty.

Her delicate face adorned with framed glasses exuded an air of scholarly elegance.

Her slender figure, though wrapped in a long dress,

wore an aspect of youthful vibrancy.

But now, she pouted and protested with dissatisfaction.

"What do you know, Mr. Lin’s medical skills are exceptional, a rare talent indeed. If you could marry him, it would be a blessing cultivated over many lifetimes. When you meet him later, you should take the initiative. If you dare to offend Mr. Lin, I will never let you off the hook,"

There were too many details that weren’t convenient to explain to her directly.

Li Yizhen could only assert his authority as a grandfather.

"Grandpa, this is forcing someone against their will; this is feudal thinking!"

Li Qiqi clenched her fists.

She really regretted coming home.

"I am feudal, then! This time you must listen to me. Have a good chat with Mr. Lin later, and you should visit him more often in the future. I warn you, if you mess up today, I will cut ties with you as your grandfather, and from now on, you will not be allowed to set foot in Medicine King House!"

Looking at the time, Lin Fan was about to arrive.

Li Yizhen quickly stepped out the door in a hurry.

He had to go and greet him in person.

Li Qiqi, sitting alone in the hall, was on the verge of tears.

To think she had to ingratiate herself with a man for no reason.

This was something she simply couldn’t accept.

Yet, as she hesitated over whether to run away from home,

a figure suddenly flashed through her mind, and she hurriedly dialed a familiar number.

"Meng Yao senior sister, I’ve run into trouble!"

As soon as the phone connected, Li Qiqi complained right away.

"Qi Qi, what’s wrong? Are you not adjusting well abroad, or is someone bullying you?"

Ning Mengyao sat in her office, asking with confusion.

The two had met at a social gathering.

Being both beautiful and from the same school, they naturally got along well.

Through repeated meetings, they became close friends.

Ning Zhenyue was able to participate in chess games because of this connection.

"My grandfather tricked me into coming back to the country, and he’s forcing me to go on a blind date, saying that the guy is very outstanding and telling me to act like a groveling dog. What should I do?"

Li Qiqi’s face was downcast.

Thinking about her grandfather’s words from earlier made her angry.

"Telling you to act like a groveling dog? Are they crazy? You’re so pretty and going to be a talented western medicine student in the future. Could it be that the guy is some kind of royals or nobility? Even so, it wouldn’t make sense to grovel to that extent,"

Ning Mengyao frowned in confusion.

Li Qiqi was definitely a high-caliber beauty with both looks and education.

It was inconceivable that she was being asked to demean herself.

"But... but grandpa really seemed angry... What should I do?"

Although Li Qiqi was majoring in western medicine, she had a lot of respect for her grandfather.

She had been doted on since childhood, which allowed her to embark on the path of western medicine despite coming from a family of traditional medical practitioners.

"This is easy to handle, since your grandpa wants you to grovel, you should just take the initiative,"

Ning Mengyao pondered for a moment and then said with a mischievous smile.

"Take the initiative? Sister, are you helping me or hurting me?"

Li Qiqi pouted in confusion.

"This is retreating in order to advance. Don’t forget, men are meant to be teased. Just do as I say later... I guarantee that’ll scare him off!"

Ning Mengyao’s words suddenly enlightened Li Qiqi.

So men could be played with like that.

"Understood. I’ll make sure to be so forward that he’ll want to run away himself!"

Li Qiqi, now smiling, made up her mind.

There are many ways to scare a person off.

She would play the role of a bold and unrestrained woman.

"Alright, then seize the opportunity well, and let’s have a meal together when you’re free."

After giving a few more reminders, Ning Mengyao finally hung up the phone, contented.

Unexpectedly, the phone rang again.

Seeing Leng Mu’s number, she really didn’t want to answer.

But in the end, she pressed the answer button.

"Dear, I’ve taken care of the matter today. Are you feeling any better?"

Leng Mu’s voice came through the phone, fawning.

"Much better... Thank you!"

Although she didn’t know how he had dealt with Xu Dewang,

the issue was indeed resolved, so Ning Mengyao could only reply, steeling herself.

"We don’t need to stand on ceremony with each other. Dining with me tonight would be the best thank-you. I’ve reserved a spot at Prado Restaurant. I’ll pick you up after work, don’t be late,"

Without waiting for her to refuse, Leng Mu hung up.

Looking at the ended call on her screen, Ning Mengyao could only sigh deeply.

After all, he had helped her out with a big favor.

Declining a meal would indeed be inexcusable.

...

When the car arrived at Medicine King House under Lin Fan’s guidance,

Xu Dewang’s eyes bulged in shock.

"Mr. Lin... Medicine King House is not an ordinary place; it’s invitation-only."

As Jiangning’s renowned Divine Doctor,

Li Yizhen didn’t just treat anyone.

Although Xu Dewang was somewhat rich, he didn’t have the status.

Moreover, Medicine King House was a place of danger.

It was said to be filled with poisonous creatures.

Someone who had trespassed without permission turned idiotic for life.

"He invited me several times, and I never came. Today’s a good day to visit,"

Lin Fan said with a smile as he opened the passenger door.

By this time, Li Yizhen was already waiting at the entrance.

Upon seeing Lin Fan, he hurried over quickly.

"I knew something was up when the magpies were so noisy this morning; it turns out Mr. Lin has honored us with a visit. It’s truly my good fortune,"

The smile on Mr. Li’s face made Xu Dewang feel apprehensive.

Just last night, he had witnessed the Martial Alliance’s motorcade, and now even the Divine Doctor was paying utmost respect.

What abilities did he possess?

"I have a friend who needs to treat a minor ailment. He needs to rest quietly for two hours. It’s inconvenient anywhere else, so I’m going to borrow Mr. Li’s precious place for a bit and blend some medicines and stones,"

Lin Fan said, still wearing a smile.

"To witness Mr. Lin performing acupuncture is a great fortune for me. Please, come in!"

Li Yizhen hurriedly led the two of them into the vast expanse of Medicine King House.

Unlike other antique houses, this place was planted with various medicinal herbs in every corner.

As you enter the courtyard, you could smell a unique fragrance from the flowers,

which was pleasing to the spirit.

He led them straight to a side chamber.

Lin Fan told Xu Dewang to take off his shirt and lie on the bed.

Grabbing a silver needle, he swiftly inserted it into several of his major acupoints.

"This is the Nine Separation Fire Needle, specifically for treating cold kidneys. Rest here for three hours. After this, come once a month for treatment, and within half a year, you’ll be fully recovered. Take this prescription back and consume it with your wife to regulate the spleen and kidneys. I guarantee you’ll have a healthy baby boy next year!"

Lin Fan generously shared the technique with Li Yizhen, who was next to him.

This needle technique required the assistance of yang energy to open the meridians and cleave the collaterals.

It would be followed by the Warm Supplemental Needle Skill, which could be completed even without Inner Strength.

"Thank you for the guidance, Mr. Lin. Please come rest in the tea room. I have someone I’d like you to meet!"

Li Yizhen quickly led Lin Fan to the neighboring tea room.

As the two men sat down, a graceful beauty in a white dress entered the room.

"Li Qiqi pays respects to Mr. Lin!"

Li Qiqi glanced at Lin Fan, a hint of excitement hanging on her smile.

She was about to let him know just how bold she could be.
