Chapter 166 - Misunderstanding!

As an heir to a vast fortune and, concurrently, a wastrel,

Zheng Qiu considered himself versed in the beauty of various women, but Shui Tianyue made a particularly stunning impression on him.

She and Lin Luoluo were both very beautiful, but unlike Lin Luoluo’s icy demeanor, Shui Tianyue exuded a sense of ethereal grace, fragility, inspiring an impulse to embrace her protectively.

Seeing that Zheng Qiu was almost drooling, Wang Miao promptly placed a chop on Zheng Qiu’s waist.

Hiss—

Zheng Qiu sharply inhaled a breath of cold air.

“Do you like what you see?” Wang Miao whispered.

Zheng Qiu grinned sheepishly, quickly reigning in his expression.

At this moment, Shui Tianyue stepped towards Zhou Yu.

“Divine Doctor Zhou, I came to the company to find you.

I hope I’m not interrupting.”

Zhou Yu smiled slightly.

“Not at all,”

“In fact, I was planning to look for you later.

I didn’t expect you’d come first.”

Shui Tianyue spoke apologetically:

“Sorry, Divine Doctor Zhou, I’m not feeling well today, so I…”

Zhou Yu smiled and said.

“It’s fine, let me examine you right now.”

With that, Zhou Yu turned his head to look at Zheng Qiu and Wang Miao.

“Miaomiao, Zheng Qiu, please take Mr.

Lu to rest for a while.

I’ll call you when I’m finished.”

“Sure,” Zheng Qiu quickly agreed.

“Mr.

Lu, please come this way.”

Mr.

Lu glanced at Shui Tianyue.

Shui Tianyue nodded.

Mr.

Lu followed Zheng Qiu and Wang Miao out of the office.

After everyone had left, Zhou Yu looked at Shui Tianyue and asked:

“What’s making you uncomfortable?”

“My… My chest hurts a lot!” Shui Tianyue, although embarrassed, admitted it nonetheless.

Zhou Yu nodded.

“Pavilion Master Shui, please have a seat.

I will examine you.

However, you’ll need to remove your top.”

Shui Tianyue bit her lip, her face flushed with a hint of red, and nodded.

Sitting down, she bowed her head, turned around, and took off her top with her back to Zhou Yu.

This was the first time she had removed her clothes in front of a male peer, and Shui Tianyue appeared greatly uneasy.

Shui Tianyue’s back was pristine and carried beautifully sculpted lines but looked somewhat thin, probably a result of long-term suffering from illnesses.

At this time, Shui Tianyue turned around.

When she did, her hands covered her chest as if she felt shy.

Zhou Yu spoke.

“Do you want me to cover my eyes?”

After all, he had cultivated Divine Sense and no longer needed his eyes to observe.

Shui Tianyue shook her head, then released her hands.

When Zhou Yu saw Shui Tianyue’s chest, he froze.

Contrasting with her flawless back, Shui Tianyue’s chest was covered in large patches of gray.

It was hard to imagine that a beauty like Shui Tianyue could bear such marks.

Zhou Yu paused for a moment, then moved closer to Shui Tianyue and reached out to touch the gray spots on her chest.

Just then, the door to Engineering Division Four suddenly swung open.

Zhou Yu looked up in surprise, only to see Lin Luoluo entering.

Startled, Shui Tianyue swiftly grabbed her clothes, wrapping them around herself.

A rare smile had adorned Lin Luoluo’s face, but upon witnessing the scene in the office, it instantly froze, turning ice cold.

“What are you doing, Zhou Yu?”

Zhou Yu hurriedly explained:

“Manager Lin, I’m treating a friend.”

“Treating?”

Lin Luoluo’s voice rose in anger:

“Treating her like this, here, in this state?”

“You really know how to play.”

Bang!

After roaring in anger, Lin Luoluo turned her head and stormed out, slamming the door behind her.

Zhou Yu was speechless.

What a misunderstanding this had become.

“Pavilion Master Shui, please wait a moment.

I need to step out.”

Shui Tianyue nodded in response.

“Alright.”

Zhou Yu hurried after her, catching up with Lin Luoluo.

“President Lin, wait a moment.”

Lin Luoluo replied coldly.

“Why are you stopping me?

Go on, continue having fun!

I can see you were enjoying yourself quite a bit.”

At this point, Zheng Qiu and others, having heard the commotion, ran out from the adjoining guest room.

Hearing Lin Luoluo’s words, Zheng Qiu quickly explained.

“Sister Lin, Brother Yu was treating someone.”

Wang Miao also spoke up.

“Sister Lin, the beautiful lady inside is the Pavilion Master of the Bamboo Pavilion from Wucheng, and this gentleman is Mr.

Lu.”

“They came specifically to seek Brother Yu for treatment.”

Mr.

Lu apologized to Lin Luoluo with a remorseful expression:

“I’m sorry, President Lin, for the presumptuous disturbance.

Please forgive us.”

Lin Luoluo’s eye twitched slightly, realizing that she had indeed misunderstood Zhou Yu.

This guy, too, couldn’t he have conducted the treatment in the adjacent resting room?

Why did he start right in the office, and in that state of undress, in such a posture?

Lin Luoluo glared at Zhou Yu.

“Couldn’t you find a more private place to treat patients?”

Zhou Yu touched the tip of his nose, realizing he hadn’t thought it through.

“By the way, President Lin, did you need something from me?”

Lin Luoluo took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:

“All the sand suppliers in Yancheng have refused to supply to the Lin Corporation.

If we can’t find a solution, the corporation’s projects will have to come to a halt.”

Zhou Yu frowned deeply.

“So what do we do now?”

“I’ve just made contact with a sand supplier in Yu City.

I’m on my way there to see if I can negotiate the contract.

I was thinking of asking you to join me, but since you’re busy, never mind.”

Zhou Yu was in the middle of treating Shui Tianyue and didn’t feel right about leaving her behind.

“Well, if there’s anything, you can call me at any time.”

Lin Luoluo nodded.

“Alright.”

With that, she turned and left.

Zhou Yu returned to his office and continued examining Shui Tianyue.

After the brief interruption, Shui Tianyue was far more relaxed.

Zhou Yu placed his hand on the gray patch on her chest, then his brows furrowed.

“If I’m not mistaken, this gray patch only appeared a year ago, right?”

“You tried to heal your wounds by drawing on the energy of the Nether Fire from the Nether Fire Lotus Platform, but it wasn’t successful, leading to your current condition.”

Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Shui Tianyue showed a look of excitement.

“Yes, that’s exactly right.”

There was both trepidation and hope in her eyes.

“Divine Doctor Zhou, can you treat my injury?”

Zhou Yu nodded and said:

“Actually, the injuries you sustained before had already been healed by the energy of the Nether Fire from the Nether Fire Lotus Platform.

However, during the process of using the Nether Fire Lotus Platform, someone poisoned you.”

“Poisoned?” Shui Tianyue’s face reflected shock.

“Indeed, your current condition is due to the poison.”

Shui Tianyue was visibly shaken; she seemed to recall something, showing a complicated expression in her eyes, and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Yu did not ask anything further.

“I’ll start by detoxifying you.”
