Chapter 70.1 Hmm, is it big?

After two minutes, Lu Fei felt like time was passing extremely slowly.

How could changing clothes take so long?

If it were him, wouldn’t it only take ten or twenty seconds?

“Are you done yet?”

Right after Lu Fei asked this question, he heard Mu Ruoxue’s hurried voice from behind.

“Why are you so impatient? I haven’t finished putting on my dress yet!”

Upon hearing Mu Ruoxue’s tender voice, Lu Fei almost lost his breath.

Has this little girl even been to school?

What a linguistic genius!

What does she mean by calling me impatient?

Am I being impatient?

The correct word should be “anxious”, okay!

If you don’t understand? Shall I teach you step by step? Huh?

Lu Fei looked at the wall with a face full of frustration.

There was silence for a while.

Suddenly, while Lu Fei was bored and waiting, he felt his shoulder being tapped a few times.

“Let’s go!”

He turned around,

And there he saw Mu Ruoxue wearing a jade green dress.

Interestingly, she wasn’t wearing her usual white cartoon knee-high stockings on her legs.

Instead, she had switched to black stockings with a cat paw pattern, pulled up to her feet.

It gave off a unique and distinctive feeling.

Lu Fei didn’t say anything in response. Instead, he opened the door.

Mu Ruoxue, who was following behind Lu Fei, saw his indifferent expression.

The expectant smile on her face suddenly sank and disappeared.

In the living room, Mu Changye turned to look at Lu Fei and Mu Ruoxue descending the stairs, a smile appearing on his face.

“Haha, Lu Fei, it seems that you are the one with the solutions after all!”

After speaking, Mu Changye shifted his gaze towards Mu Ruoxue standing behind Lu Fei.

His eyes showed concern as he asked, “Ruoxue, what’s wrong with you? You didn’t leave your room all day yesterday!”

“Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”

As he spoke, Mu Changye once again turned his gaze in Lu Fei’s direction.

Lu Fei was somewhat afraid of Mu Changye’s gaze.

What’s the deal with this Mu Changye?

This family, as soon as someone falls ill, they all look at me.

Why?

Can’t they just go to the hospital?

Feeling Mu Changye’s gaze, Lu Fei coughed lightly and then said,

“Patriarch, it seems that Ruoxue is not in a good mood, but there are no physical issues.”

“As the saying goes, a troubled heart needs comforting. I can’t help in that aspect. You’ll have to find a solution yourself, patriarch!”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, a hint of understanding appeared in Mu Changye’s eyes.

As he looked at Lu Fei, his satisfaction grew. Indeed, he is a talented member of the Mu family with exceptional medical skills!

Thinking about this, Mu Changye suddenly remembered something and spoke up,

“Ruoxue, you haven’t eaten anything all day. I’ll have the housekeeper bring you something to eat, as a snack.”

“Go and have something to eat quickly!”

Mu Changye asked Mu Ruoxue to sit at the dining table first, then turned his gaze towards Lu Fei and said,

“Lu Fei, your sister-in-law is awake now. She’s in the small bedroom where you treated her foot yesterday.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Fei’s eyes also showed a hint of surprise.

Following Mu Changye, he arrived at the location of the small bedroom and opened the door.

At this moment, Liu Mengxiang sat groggily on the edge of the bed, already dressed.

However, the laziness and charm emanating from her bones constantly challenged a man’s endurance.

“Lu Fei, can you take her pulse?”

Mu Changye looked at Lu Fei, who seemed hesitant and asked.

Upon hearing Mu Changye’s words, Lu Fei was momentarily stunned.

He knew the art of poison medical skills, so naturally, he could feel a pulse. It was as simple as eating or drinking water for him.

Although Lu Fei doesn’t need to take pulses most of the time, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know how to do it!

Lu Fei nodded and calmly said, “Patriarch, I have medical skills, so naturally, I can take pulses.”

Hearing Lu Fei’s words, Mu Changye also breathed a sigh of relief and said, “Then go ahead and take your sister-in-law’s pulse first. We can discuss the treatment later.”

Liu Mengxiang is experiencing chest tightness, so how can Lu Fei treat her?

Naturally, he needed to take her pulse before deciding on the treatment.

Hearing Mu Changye’s words, Lu Fei also nodded in approval in his heart.

Finally, you’re being cautious. I thought you were really clueless.

Lu Fei calmly nodded, indicating his understanding, and said, “Don’t worry, Patriarch, I know what I’m doing!”

Seeing Lu Fei being so sensible, Mu Changye nodded with satisfaction and patted Lu Fei’s shoulder, saying, “I’ll leave this to you. I’ll go check on that girl Ruoxue. Ah, I don’t know what’s gotten into her, causing such a commotion…”

Saying that Mu Changye took two steps back and reached for the doorknob.

“I’ll close the door for you so you can take the pulse in peace!”

After saying that, to Lu Fei’s astonishment, Mu Changye directly closed the door.

For Mu Changye’s approach, Lu Fei can only exlcaim!

In his mind, he shouted, “Impressive!”

Most people wouldn’t be able to do such a thing.

In that moment when Mu Changye turned around, Lu Fei confirmed that the green color on Mu Changye’s head was not just something others had painted on him.

Mu Changye himself had considerable responsibility for that green color.

…Well…half of the responsibility, at least!

Just as Mu Changye closed the door, Liu Mengxiang propped herself up with her delicate hand, and her eyes suddenly became slightly more alert, transitioning from laziness to a hint of clarity.

The seductiveness deep within her eyes gradually emanated.

“Sister-in-law, where exactly do you feel uncomfortable?”

Lu Fei’s expression remained calm as he asked in a plain tone.

“I…”

Before Liu Mengxiang could say anything, she suddenly noticed something strange in Lu Fei’s gaze.

Her head turned slightly towards the direction outside the door.

In an instant, Liu Mengxiang understood what was happening, and a seductive smile curved up her lips.

However, her voice sounded hoarse and lacking in energy.

“I’ve been feeling a tightness in my chest for quite some time now. I went to the hospital for an examination before, but they couldn’t find any specific cause.”

“And now, I have to trouble you to take a look!”

Lu Fei couldn’t help but think that if Liu Mengxiang didn’t make a living out of acting, he wouldn’t believe her for a second.

Lu Fei was curious about how she could smile at him while speaking in such a voice.

However, despite Lu Fei not being skilled in acting, he wondered if he was either experienced in handling such situations or naturally talented.

Regardless, he was able to handle this situation with ease.

Outside the door, Mu Changye heard Lu Fei’s calm voice saying, “There are many possible reasons for this condition, and without conclusive evidence, I dare not make any rash decisions.”

“Here’s what we’ll do, sister-in-law. Give me your left hand, and I’ll take your pulse. We should be able to find some clues from your pulse.”

As Lu Fei’s voice fell, silence filled the small bedroom, as if no strange sounds were coming from inside.

Mu Changye nodded in satisfaction, feeling even more guilty towards Lu Fei in his heart.

Someone who wholeheartedly helped his Mu family, and yet he still didn’t believe him.

Even Mu Changye couldn’t help but feel a sense of guilt.

It seemed that he would have to make it up to Lu Fei in the future.

He couldn’t let Lu Fei exert himself and shed tears in vain!

As he thought about this, Mu Changye carefully retreated, trying not to make any noise.

But honestly, Lu Fei’s medical skills were truly remarkable.

His speech was precise, his attitude unwavering, and he never made decisions without certainty.

This young man, Lu Fei, was truly a lucky star for my Mu family!

…

In the small bedroom, Liu Mengxiang extended her other fair and delicate hand.

Liu Mengxiang reached out toward Lu Fei and put on a pitiful expression, saying to him, “Please help me figure out what’s wrong with me.”

Seeing that Liu Mengxiang dared to play this game even when Mu Changye, who was at the door, didn’t know if he had left or not.

She truly lived up to her title of a crazy woman!

Not many people were as crazy as Liu Mengxiang.

Lu Fei rolled his eyes and said impatiently, “Forget about taking the pulse. I think there might be something wrong with your brain. You should either go to a neurology department at the hospital or seek help from a psychologist.”

After speaking, Lu Fei calmly walked over to the edge of the bed and sat down.

As someone with poison medical skills, he could easily tell whether Liu Mengxiang had any physical issues or not with just a glance.

It was evident that Liu Mengxiang didn’t have any real issues.

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, Liu Mengxiang’s eyes flickered for a moment, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Don’t be presumptuous. You haven’t even taken my pulse, how can you conclude that I have a problem or not? Weren’t you just saying that you wouldn’t make rash decisions without certainty?”

Liu Mengxiang saw Lu Fei sitting at the corner of the bed and crawled towards him, extending her hand in front of him, completely disregarding the fact that she was wearing a camisole pajama.

With just one hand supporting her, she looked up at Lu Fei, resembling a small pet seeking to be petted.

Lu Fei turned his gaze away from her lowered eyebrows, stood up, and moved a bit further away from Liu Mengxiang.

There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes as he looked down at Liu Mengxiang, and his tone became more serious.

“Liu Mengxiang, are you sick? Can you please behave normally?”

Liu Mengxiang seemed to sense the slightly serious gaze from Lu Fei, and a strange feeling that she hadn’t experienced in a long time welled up in her heart.

Her delicate and charming figure involuntarily shrank a bit, but a hopeful smile still appeared on her face as she said, “I don’t know if I’m sick or not, that’s why I came to you to find out!”

“But, do you like the normal me? I can be normal too!”

Upon hearing Liu Mengxiang’s words, Lu Fei once again rolled his eyes and responded in exasperation, “Physically, you seem fine, but I suspect there might be some psychological issues. I suggest you get yourself checked.”

With that, Lu Fei stood at the corner of the bed.

He had already decided that he would stay for just a couple more minutes and then leave. He would simply say that there weren’t any major issues. 

The joyful mood he had today was almost completely ruined by the Mu family.

First, there was the pretentious little loli, and now there was this crazy woman, Liu Mengxiang. 

The whole Mu family seemed off, and Mu Changye was also a complete idiot, the so-called “Emperor of Shanghai.” 

It was laughable.

Lu Fei’s head was almost bursting with frustration, and he didn’t even realize it himself. 

And Liu Mengxiang added fuel to the fire in his head.

Lu Fei couldn’t help but marvel at the absurdity of the situation.

Upon hearing Lu Fei say that she wasn’t sick and even avoided touching her.

Liu Mengxiang felt a surge of grievance and a hint of defiance in her heart.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at Lu Fei with a gaze that carried a touch of tenderness as if pleading for understanding.

“It’s impossible. You haven’t even taken my pulse, so how do you know if I’m sick or not?”

“Just take my pulse!”
