"Doctor Wan, do you need me for something?"
Gu Luotang asked as she walked down the stairs, seeing Wan Yunting sitting in a chair in the first-floor hall. However, due to her heightened emotions, she stepped on the hem of her skirt, letting out a startled cry. Suddenly, she lost her footing on the stairs and was about to fall...
"Careful..."
Wan Yunting reacted with lightning speed. He rushed forward, his large hand opening, and collided with the falling Gu Luotang. Qi Miaomiao, who was following behind, gasped in fright...
With a thud, Wan Yunting landed on his back, while Gu Luotang fell into his arms. Her small head rested on his shoulder, their cheeks pressed together. Wan Yunting's hand also circled Gu Luotang's slender and soft waist, making him feel as if she had no waist at all, she was so yielding...
At that moment, the pharmacy staff around them finally reacted, watching the two of them clinging tightly together, one above the other...
"Doctor Luotang, are you alright?"
Wan Yunting turned his head to look at Gu Luotang, whose small head was resting on his right shoulder. Their cheeks were touching, so as he turned his face, he kissed Gu Luotang's flushed cheek. It was like an electric shock, causing Gu Luotang's body to tremble involuntarily. Shyness made her tender, small ears instantly turn red, and she felt a sensation she had never experienced before, as if she were about to faint...
Seeing this, Wan Yunting quickly got up. He looked at Gu Luotang, whose face was flushed and breathing rapidly, and asked nervously, "Did you hurt yourself anywhere?"
"I..."
Gu Luotang was too nervous to even look up at him, her words tumbling out.
The onlookers from the pharmacy staff saw Gu Luotang's flushed face and her embarrassed demeanor, making them all curious. Usually, she was like a fairy, her voice as fragrant as orchids, always calm. But now, she looked like a shy maiden overjoyed at meeting her beloved?
"Senior Sister, are you alright?"
Qi Miaomiao, having recovered, quickly came down to help her up. Gu Luotang stumbled back a few steps, creating distance between herself and Wan Yunting. Only then did the dizzying sensation she had never felt before disappear. Her pretty face was flushed with embarrassment, and she shyly glanced up at this man who was so fatally attractive...
This made Wan Yunting look at her with a hint of strangeness, but seeing that Gu Luotang was not injured, he finally relaxed.
"Heh heh, Senior Sister, were you doing that on purpose just now?"
Qi Miaomiao mischievously whispered and teased her, making Gu Luotang even more flustered and embarrassed. She shot a look of annoyance at this silly girl, "What are you talking about..."
"Hehe, I won't tease you anymore."
Knowing that her senior sister always got shy when facing Wan Yunting, she didn't want her to embarrass herself in front of everyone. She waved her hand and shouted to the pharmacy staff, "Get back to work, stop staring..."
Seeing that Gu Luotang was fine, everyone went back to their tasks. Gu Luotang forced herself to calm down before nervously asking Wan Yunting, "Doctor Wan, what... what is it you need me for?"
Wan Yunting glanced around and said apologetically, "Doctor Luotang, could we talk somewhere private?"
Gu Luotang froze. Qi Miaomiao immediately pointed behind her, "Yes, my senior sister's resting room is back there. You two can go and chat."
Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang were taken aback. Why did Qi Miaomiao's words sound so strange...
"Doctor Wan, this way please..."
Gu Luotang knew that Wan Yunting must have something important to discuss with her, otherwise, he wouldn't have come like this. So, she invited him into the inner courtyard of the pharmacy...
"Sister Miaomiao, who is that person?"
A curious staff member looked at Wan Yunting, who had followed Gu Luotang inside, and asked, "Why does Sister Luotang look like she's seen a ghost when she sees him?"
Qi Miaomiao turned her head, incredulously looking at the staff member. She immediately raised her hand and hit him hard on the forehead, scolding, "You're the ghost! That's my senior sister's beloved. Don't you understand..."
"Ah, Doctor Luotang's beloved?"
The other gossiping staff members were stunned. They all thought Gu Luotang was a fairy from heaven and would never fall for ordinary mortals like them. They never expected she would have a man she liked...
"Doctor Wan, please come in..."
Gu Luotang truly led Wan Yunting into her temporary resting room at the pharmacy. The room was decorated in a classical and elegant style, clearly fitting for a woman with Gu Luotang's serene and ancient temperament.
Wan Yunting took in the sight of her small room. When he turned back, he found Gu Luotang lowering her head, her expression subtle – a mix of nervousness, shyness, and a hint of anticipation...
"Doctor Luotang...?"
"Ah..."
After being called twice, Gu Luotang finally reacted, her pretty face flushing again. She mentally cursed herself for what she was thinking, feeling so embarrassed that she wished she could burrow into a mouse hole.
"Doctor Luotang, is someone here looking for you to make a house call in Shenzhen?" Wan Yunting wasn't in the mood to ponder a woman's thoughts and asked directly.
Gu Luotang's expression froze for a moment. She finally came back to her senses, "How did you know?"
"Is he still at your pharmacy?" Wan Yunting asked.
"Yes, he's on the second floor. My senior disciple is entertaining them."
Gu Luotang nodded. Wan Yunting asked urgently, "Then, did you agree to go to Shenzhen with them?"
Gu Luotang shook her head slightly, "It's too far, and it's inconvenient for us, so we refused."
This made Wan Yunting raise an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Gu Luotang to refuse to make a house call for Gao Jiaming.
"Doctor Wan, do you want to go and make the house call for them?" Gu Luotang seemed to have guessed his purpose in coming to find her.
"Yes, it's a long story, but I really want to go!" Wan Yunting nodded.
"So, you want me to agree to it and then take you along?" Gu Luotang guessed.
"Yes."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile, indeed a sharp-witted woman.
"I understand."
Gu Luotang nodded and immediately opened a delicate pouch at her waist, taking out her phone to call her senior disciple...
Meanwhile, on the second floor of the pharmacy, Senior Disciple Lu Zijin had refused Gao Jiaming again. This made him feel greatly humiliated and even angered. He then got up, preparing to leave.
As Senior Disciple Lu Zijin received Gu Luotang's call, he immediately called out to Gao Jiaming, who was about to go downstairs, "Mr. Gao, my junior sister is willing to accompany you to Shenzhen for the house call!"
This sudden turn of events surprised Gao Jiaming, and he looked back at Lu Zijin. Lu Zijin asked, "When will you be departing?"
"The day after tomorrow at ten in the morning. I will be here to pick you up on time."
Gao Jiaming didn't understand why they had suddenly changed their minds, but seeing that they had agreed, he didn't say anything more, though he was still harboring some resentment.
"Alright."
Lu Zijin nodded and then escorted them downstairs.
In the inner hall room, Wan Yunting was sitting on a stool, and Gu Luotang poured him tea. "Doctor Luotang, don't you want to ask why I want to go to Shenzhen to make the house call?"
Gu Luotang paused, as if just remembering, "Why?"
...Wan Yunting looked at the somewhat dazed fairy and then smiled, "Do you know about the Gao family in Shenzhen?"
"No."
Gu Luotang, who had sat down, shook her head slightly. She was only interested in things like medical skills and calligraphy. She knew nothing about the so-called powerful and wealthy families, so she certainly didn't know about the Gao family in Shenzhen.
The reason she so readily agreed to Wan Yunting was that he would be accompanying her to Shenzhen for the house call. Therefore, Gu Luotang was extremely happy now, as she could be with him again...
