Chapter 70.2 Hmm, is it big?

As Liu Mengxiang continued to insist, she extended her fair-skinned arm with a hint of anticipation.

Seeing Liu Mengxiang’s persistent demeanor, Lu Fei sighed helplessly and reluctantly took her arm.

He sat on the ground, closed his eyes slightly, and began to carefully feel her pulse.

As he touched her pulse, Lu Fei immediately sensed a stable rhythm with no signs of irregularity.

The only difference was that the flow of Qi and blood seemed to be faster than usual. 

But why? Liu Mengxiang hadn’t engaged in any intense physical activity.

Why would the flow of Qi and blood be so fast?

Could there be some hidden underlying condition that he hadn’t detected?

Suddenly,

As Lu Fei was carefully examining her pulse,

He suddenly felt a faint, powdery fragrance wafting towards his nose.

Immediately after, he felt a slight touch on his forehead.

Lu Fei abruptly opened his eyes and saw Liu Mengxiang’s other hand wiping the sweat off his forehead.

Having squatted down for some time, coupled with the rush of going up and down the stairs, a thin layer of sweat had formed on Lu Fei’s forehead.

“What are you doing?”

Lu Fei’s gaze suddenly became sharp, his tone icy as he questioned.

Liu Mengxiang was startled by Lu Fei’s sudden eye-opening and met his intense, almost chilling gaze.

For some reason, in that instant, Liu Mengxiang’s audacious thoughts seemed to compress into a corner, like a small white mouse being squeezed into a corner.

She became afraid, anticipatory, and willing to obey.

Immediately, her thoughts involuntarily spilled out.

“I… I saw some sweat on your forehead, so I wanted to wipe it for you!”

In response, Lu Fei brushed away Liu Mengxiang’s hand that was wiping his sweat, not in a friendly manner.

“No need!”

Lu Fei responded curtly.

He was wary of Liu Mengxiang’s sudden kindness towards him.

He didn’t want to fall into any traps set by her again.

Although he knew his behavior might be a bit excessive, he felt no guilt toward Liu Mengxiang, the crazy woman.

Suddenly, Lu Fei felt something strange.

Why was it that when he treated Liu Mengxiang with such disdain, her Qi and blood seemed to flow even faster?

What does this mean?

Liu Mengxiang is excited!

What is she so excited about?

Suddenly, Lu Fei seemed to realize something and quickly released his hand from Liu Mengxiang’s pulse.

He stared at her with a shocked expression.

Damn it!

I was trying to treat your illness, and you’re trying to hit on me?

This is too much!

However, as Lu Fei looked into Liu Mengxiang’s eyes, he noticed a mixture of complexity and confusion.

Lu Fei carefully recalled the original story.

He didn’t remember anything about Liu Mengxiang having such strange inclinations in the original story!

In fact, this woman had very limited appearances in the original story. It wasn’t until the end, when the protagonist destroyed the Mu family, that it was mentioned in passing that this woman was truly a natural beauty.

And then there was no further development…

Could it be that my appearance has changed the plot and awakened some strange attribute in this woman?

Perhaps, it’s possible.

Liu Mengxiang herself didn’t realize that she was an “M” (a person who enjoys being dominated) until now.

With these thoughts swirling in his mind, Lu Fei felt a bit confused.

“Lu Fei, what’s wrong?”

Liu Mengxiang looked at Lu Fei, who suddenly had such a strong reaction, with some confusion.

“It’s nothing!”

Lu Fei glanced at Liu Mengxiang and casually replied.

“I carefully checked your pulse and found that you don’t actually have any issues.”

Upon hearing Lu Fei’s words, a hint of disappointment flashed in Liu Mengxiang’s eyes.

She knew that Lu Fei would soon be leaving.

But deep down, she still felt reluctant.

Liu Mengxiang’s voice carried a hint of coquetry as she said, “No, it can’t be. You must have missed something during the examination!”

“My chest has been feeling tight since yesterday, and it hasn’t improved at all!”

“I don’t believe it. Check again!”

Saying this, Liu Mengxiang started to move closer to Lu Fei.

She pretended to make Lu Fei examine her more carefully.

“Sister-in-law, please don’t do this!”

Lu Fei watched as Liu Mengxiang kept getting closer, and he took two steps back.

“I don’t believe it, you must have not checked clearly. I’ve been feeling suffocated for a long time, how could it be okay!”

Liu Mengxiang lifted her chin, continuing to approach him.

“Sister-in-law, I assure you there’s really no problem. Even if you’re experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath, I’ll prescribe a couple of medications for you, and you’ll be fine!”

Lu Fei resisted and said in a calm tone.

“Really… I don’t believe it!”

As Liu Mengxiang replied, Lu Fei felt like he was about to spit blood.

If you don’t believe it, then don’t.

Why are you still seeking my treatment?

“Look, I’m really feeling tightness here!”

Just as Lu Fei was speechless, Liu Mengxiang suddenly pulled him forcefully.

Lu Fei was stunned.

Just as Lu Fei was struggling to catch his breath, a muffled voice came from outside the door.

“Lu Fei, are you done with the examination?”

Hearing this voice, Lu Fei was startled.

Trying to stabilize his emotions forcefully, Lu Fei replied in a calm voice, “Please wait, Patriarch. I sense something unusual in Sister-in-law’s pulse as if there might be an underlying condition.”

“Patriarch, please remain quiet and don’t disturb us!”

After speaking, Lu Fei quickly fastened the shoulder side that Liu Mengxiang had pulled down.

Then, with a firm push, he pushed her down.

He gave Liu Mengxiang a slightly warning look.

Indeed, under Lu Fei’s stern gaze, Liu Mengxiang immediately quieted down and stopped making any further movements.

After Lu Fei calmed down, he glanced at Liu Mengxiang angrily.

This crazy woman can only be controlled with this method.

Lu Fei realized that he had found a way to suppress this insane woman.

And that is to be ruthless!

Lu Fei knew that he couldn’t indulge her, as once he did, this crazy woman would become even more difficult to deal with. 

After straightening his clothes, Lu Fei walked out with a calm expression.

Mu Changye was sitting in the living room at this moment, and Mu Ruoxue was also seated not far away. 

When Mu Changye saw Lu Fei coming out, he looked at him with a trace of concern in his eyes and asked, “Is there something wrong with your sister-in-law’s health?”

Upon hearing this question, Lu Fei couldn’t help but glance at the top of Mu Changye’s head, then he mumbled incoherently, “Uh, … very big…”

“big?… What do you mean by ‘big’?”

Mu Changye looked at Lu Fei nervously and asked.

Suddenly, Lu Fei realized,

Damn, what was I saying?

Fortunately, Lu Fei’s quick reflexes allowed him to regain his composure and calmly say, “Patriarch, you misunderstood. I meant there is no big problem!”

“Oh, if there’s no significant problem, then that’s good!”

Now Mu Changye could finally put his worries aside.

“I will write a prescription for my sister-in-law to help her recover and nourish her body. Her condition is not major, just a lack…”

Lu Fei suddenly paused, then quickly reacted and continued, “Just a lack of blood and qi. We need to replenish it properly to alleviate the tightness in her chest!”

After saying that, Lu Fei let out a long sigh of relief.

He kept pondering in his mind,

What happened to me today?

I almost caused a disaster with my mouth.

It seems that the scene from earlier had a profound impact on him. Otherwise, with Lu Fei’s self-control, he would never have acted this way!

“Alright, understood. I’ll make sure she rests well for a period of time,” Mu Changye nodded in agreement.

“By the way, I have troubled you today,” Mu Changye added. “There’s five million in this bank card, consider it as an advance for your betrothal gifts!”

Saying that Mu Changye took out a prepared bank card and handed it to Lu Fei.

Facing Mu Changye’s kindness, Lu Fei felt obliged to accept it graciously. “Thank you, Patriarch,” he said, taking the bank card with a calm expression and expressing his gratitude.

“Since you’re here today, I’ll take the liberty to decide the wedding date for next week. It’ll be an auspicious date according to the Chinese calendar. What do you think?”

Before Lu Fei could react, Mu Ruoxue’s small face turned icy cold.

Although she was aware that Lu Fei and Jiang Wenying’s engagement was merely a contractual agreement, Mu Ruoxue’s expression turned unpleasant upon hearing the news. 

However, unlike yesterday when she immediately stormed off upon hearing such news, she managed to stay seated this time, albeit with an unpleased look on her face.

As for Mu Changye’s proposal, Lu Fei didn’t have many objections.

With a calm demeanor but a hint of joy on his face, he replied, “Thank you, Patriarch.”

After all, he had to maintain the appearance!

“By the way, if you need help with wedding preparations, you might not be familiar with it alone. Let me think if I should find a couple of people to assist you in planning!” 

Mu Ruoxue’s eyes suddenly lit up upon hearing this. 

If she were to sabotage Lu Fei and Jiang Wenying’s wedding, would that mean Lu Fei wouldn’t have to get married anymore?

And he wouldn’t have to marry Jiang Wenying?

Thinking about this, Mu Ruoxue became more convinced that her plan was feasible! 

A look of eagerness appeared on her face as she looked at her father and said, “Father, let me do it. I can handle it!”

Seeing Mu Ruoxue’s excited expression, Mu Changye, who knew his daughter’s character well, knew that she must be up to something. 

Therefore, he immediately rejected her.

If Mu Ruoxue’s mischief led to the failure of the wedding, it would be a huge loss for the Mu family. 

So, considering multiple factors, Mu Changye refused Mu Ruoxue’s offer.

Was this a joke? Could that girl handle wedding preparations?

She would probably cause chaos instead!

“I’ll do it!” a voice suddenly sounded from the side.

At that moment, Liu Mengxiang walked out of her small bedroom.

She sat at a distance from Mu Changye and looked at Lu Fei as she spoke.

Seeing her idea being preempted, especially by the woman she disliked the most, Mu Ruoxue’s little face filled with unhappiness.

“No, if she can do it, then so can I!” Mu Ruoxue protested.

Liu Mengxiang chuckled lightly in response to Mu Ruoxue’s objection and said, “Changye, when it comes to preparing a wedding, it should be entrusted to someone trustworthy, shouldn’t it?”

“Not to mention the matters of betrothal gifts and other miscellaneous tasks.”

“I believe my status is still acceptable unless you think I’m not important!”

Upon hearing Liu Mengxiang’s words, Mu Changye fell silent for a moment, realizing that she was right. 

He even considered it thoroughly.

If that were the case, it would be better for Liu Mengxiang to handle the wedding preparations!
