"No, I want it now!" Yu He pushed him against the wall, pinning him in a forceful embrace.
Qin Beiting was also flustered by her advances, but thinking of the baby in her belly, he could only suppress himself.
"Baby, don't be like this..." He wanted to push her away, but didn't dare to use too much force, afraid of hurting her.
This fell into Yu He's eyes, "Playing hard to get? Hmm?"
She bit his lip, her peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, the corners of her eyes turned up, with a hint of blush, looking both seductive and wild.
Qin Beiting's Adam's apple bobbed, his ink-dark pupils deepened. This was too much!
The two were inseparable, the air around them thick with passion. Just as their clothes came off, a sudden mobile phone ring echoed.
Yu He: "..."
"Baby, it's your phone," Qin Beiting finally found an escape route and reminded her.
Yu He didn't want to answer. After the phone automatically hung up, it rang again. Reluctantly, she went out to get her phone.
It was Ye Qichen calling.
"Brother?" She answered the phone, glancing back at Qin Beiting, who had taken the opportunity to quickly put his clothes back on. "..."
"Xiao He, are you free right now? Can you come over to Buyetian?" Ye Qichen's tone was a little unnatural.
Yu He sensed something was wrong with Ye Qichen's voice, as if he had encountered something. "Okay, send me the room number."
"Okay, I'll send it to you on WeChat. And bring your acupuncture kit," Ye Qichen said.
Bring an acupuncture kit? Yu He frowned. "Did something happen? Are you injured?"
"I'm not injured. It's a... friend. Not exactly injured, just..." Ye Qichen hesitated, "I don't know how to say it. You'll know when you get here."
"Alright." Yu He hung up the phone, took a quick cold shower, and changed her clothes.
Qin Beiting saw her about to go out. "It's so late, where are you going?"
Yu He put on her shoes. "To see another man."
Qin Beiting immediately blocked her. "You're not allowed to go!"
Seeing that he was serious, Yu He impatiently clicked her tongue. "Just teasing you. My brother seems to have run into some trouble, I'm going to check it out."
Qin Beiting's brow furrowed slightly. "Where?"
Yu He: "Buyetian."
Qin Beiting's brow furrowed even tighter. Late at night, he was already worried about her going out, let alone to a place like Buyetian, known for its indulgence.
"I'll go with you," he said, picking up the car keys.
Yu He glanced at his visibly aroused lower half. "It's probably not good for you to go out like this right now, is it?"
Qin Beiting coughed awkwardly. "Ahem, it'll subside soon."
As long as she didn't tease him anymore.
Half an hour later, Yu He arrived at Buyetian, at the room number Ye Qichen had sent. She rang the doorbell, and the door immediately opened.
On the way, Yu He had been thinking that Ye Qichen might have been troubled by someone. But when she entered the room, he was all alone.
Ye Qichen's complexion was strange, his earlobes red, his face anxious. His shirt collar was unbuttoned, the fabric slightly wrinkled, and a red lipstick stain could be vaguely seen on his shirt.
The bedding on the bed was in disarray, and on the floor were scattered women's clothes, skirts, and underwear.
The scene was somewhat suggestive. It seemed she had overthought it.
"Oh ho, Brother, what happened?" Yu He raised an eyebrow, teasingly.
"Ahem, sister, you're finally here," Ye Qichen coughed uncomfortably. "I don't have any female friends here, and I couldn't think of anyone else. She wouldn't go to the hospital, so I had to find you. Can you go in and check on her for me?"
Yu He then noticed movement in the bathroom and asked, "Sister-in-law?"
Ye Qichen immediately denied it, his face looking unnatural. "No! She's barely a friend."
Barely?
Clothes were already off, and she was still "barely" a friend?
Yu He was quite curious about what kind of woman it would be.
She stepped forward and opened the bathroom door. Inside, a naked woman was soaking in a fish tank.
The woman's face was abnormally flushed. Her red lips were slightly parted, and she was making pained sounds. Her short hair clung to her face. Her features were regular; she wasn't a stunning beauty, but she was attractive in a lasting way.
Yu He was slightly taken aback upon seeing her. She was not unfamiliar with this face.
It was Gu Yan.
And her state clearly indicated a reaction to an herbal concoction.
Yu He's beautiful eyebrows furrowed. Why was Ye Qichen with her?
Since the Gu family's downfall, she hadn't paid much attention to where the surviving Gu siblings had gone.
Considering that Gu Yan had once imprisoned her, Yu He was somewhat unwilling to treat her. But for Ye Qichen's sake, she spread her acupuncture kit on the washbasin with one hand and took out needles.
Just as she was about to insert the needle, Gu Yan vaguely felt someone approaching and swung her arm towards Yu He. "Hic... Don't touch me..."
Fortunately, Yu He reacted quickly and dodged. However, the splashing water still wet a corner of her clothes.
She frowned displeasedly. Just as she was about to call for someone to help, a female attendant knocked on the bathroom door and entered. "Hello, Master Seven sent me to help."
"Just in time," Yu He said. "Help me hold her down."
"Okay." The attendant's eyes lit up when she saw Yu He.
She was Yu He's fan; Yu He had cured her mother's stomach ailment. She never expected to meet her goddess here, and not only that, but to help her goddess. She was thrilled. Without a second word, she rolled up her sleeves and held down the thrashing Gu Yan in the bathtub.
Working here, she had seen many women in such a state due to herbal concoctions. She was used to it. Looking up, she asked, "Where do I need to administer the needles?"
But then she saw Yu He unhurriedly putting the silver needles back into the acupuncture kit. She flipped it over and took out a small scalpel.
The attendant, who was waiting to witness her goddess perform acupuncture up close: ???
"What are you going to do to me!" At this moment, Gu Yan sobered up a bit. Recognizing Yu He, she became somewhat panicked.
"Don't be afraid, you've taken an herbal medicine, and the renowned physician is about to give you the antidote," the attendant explained.
Gu Yan gasped for air, looking towards the bathroom door. Not seeing Ye Qichen, she seemed a little disappointed. "Did Ye Qichen ask you to come?"
Yu He did not answer. She simply said to the attendant, "Take her hands off."
The attendant immediately complied. Just as she was curious about how the renowned physician would administer the antidote, Yu He raised her right hand and flicked it.
Pain immediately surged to Gu Yan's cranial nerves. She cried out in pain and retracted her hand. The blood flowing from the wound instantly dyed the entire bathtub red.
The attendant: ???
So rough!
"What kind of therapy is this?" the attendant asked weakly.
"Bloodletting therapy," Yu He replied.
The attendant's face was full of admiration. It looked very impressive!
"You're deliberately seeking revenge on me!" Gu Yan gritted her teeth in pain.
There were countless ways to administer an antidote, yet she chose the most brutal one!
"Yes," Yu He did not deny it.
Gu Yan: "..."
As expected, one shouldn't easily offend someone who understands medicine, or they would find a hundred ways to make you suffer.
"Tell me when you feel your mind clearing up," Yu He said unhurriedly, rinsing the blood off the scalpel.
Gu Yan endured the pain, biting her lower lip tightly to prevent herself from making any pained sounds.
The attendant watched the water in the bathtub turn redder and redder, looking somewhat terrifying.
She was a little worried. "Renowned physician, she won't bleed to death, will she?"
