230: Chapter 218 I’m not interested in you_1 230: Chapter 218 I’m not interested in you_1 Lu Chuan looked at Zhong Ling’er’s appearance and was very satisfied.
He said, “I’ve taken care of your luggage, so don’t worry.”
Zhong Ling’er didn’t believe it, bent at the waist and reached out to feel the place where her luggage had just been.
She thought Lu Chuan was tricking her with so sort of sleight of hand; her luggage must still be right there.
But when she reached out, she touched only air.
“Where is my luggage?”
Lu Chuan laughed and said, “I really did take it.
What, you don’t believe ?”
Zhong Ling’er was about to say she definitely didn’t believe him, but then another idea to teach Lu Chuan a lesson popped into her head.
She squeezed out a sneer and said, “Of course I believe, let’s go.”
After saying that, she walked outside.
Lu Chuan followed her.
The two of them arrived outside the Censorate Departnt, planning to take a taxi to the airport.
Just then, Zhong Ling’er suddenly said, “Oh no, I’ve lost my lipstick.
I need to get a lipstick out, it’s in that brown suitcase of mine, you…”
Her words were cut off when she saw a brown suitcase had already appeared on the ground, and her eyes widened in shock.
“Is this the one?” Lu Chuan asked.
Zhong Ling’er rubbed her eyes in disbelief, then quickly opened the suitcase.
Upon finding it was indeed the one with her lipsticks, the astonishnt on her face deepened.
“It must be a fake.
I refuse to believe this guy could hide more than a dozen suitcases.”
Zhong Ling’er muttered to herself, glancing at Lu Chuan, thinking he must have hidden the smallest suitcase on him.
But no matter how she looked, she couldn’t see where Lu Chuan, empty-handed, could have hidden such a large suitcase.
Lu Chuan put the suitcase into the Demon Suppression Pagoda.
Zhong Ling’er’s eyes were wider than a cow’s, yet she still couldn’t figure out how Lu Chuan had made the suitcase disappear.
The two got in a taxi and headed for the airport.
All the way there, Zhong Ling’er studied Lu Chuan and even felt the urge to strip him to see exactly where he hid the suitcase.
Feeling scrutinized, Lu Chuan beca uneasy and said, “I thought you liked won.
Stop looking at like that.”
“Psh,” Zhong Ling’er snorted and replied, “I’m just curious.”
When they reached the departure hall, Zhong Ling’er thought to herself that they were now so far from the Censorate Departnt and she was also certain that he didn’t bring anything with him when getting into the taxi.
Even if his tricks were very sophisticated, it was impossible for him to fetch the suitcase over such a distance.
This ti, she thought, I will definitely get back at him.
Suddenly she feigned difficulty and said, “Oh, the air conditioning here is so cold.
Bring out my largest suitcase, I need to find so clothes…”
The next second, Zhong Ling’er’s largest suitcase appeared before her.
Zhong Ling’er was stunned.
She didn’t reach into the suitcase for clothes, but instead ran up to Lu Chuan, began lifting his clothes, and muttered, “How on earth did you do it?
Where did you hide such a big suitcase to bring it here?
This is not scientific!”
Lu Chuan quickly covered up and exclaid, “What are you doing?
Everyone’s watching.
Now you don’t mind that I’m a stinky man?
You’re even trying to strip !”
Zhong Ling’er glared at Lu Chuan and demanded, “Tell how you did it!”
Lu Chuan grinned and replied, “Fat chance, rember, we’re love rivals.
How could I possibly reveal such an important secret to you?”
Zhong Ling’er froze, her expression plumting, she let go of Lu Chuan and turned to walk towards a public seat nearby, her head bowed.
Lu Chuan took the suitcase and quickly followed.
Zhong Ling’er sat down in a chair with her back turned, ignoring Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan spoke with a laugh, “So you throw a fit just because I won’t tell you?
I am not your grandpa.
Your antics have zero effect on .”
Zhong Ling’er didn’t respond at all.
Lu Chuan found this strange and bent down to get a better look, only to discover that Zhong Ling’er’s eyes were red and tears were dripping down.
He was suddenly bewildered and hurriedly said, “Don’t tell you’re this upset just because I didn’t tell you?
It’s not that much of a big deal, is it?”
But Zhong Ling’er shouted back at him, “Qingci has ignored for so long!
She doesn’t respond to my ssages or et with , even though we were so close before.
It’s all because of you, the howrecker!
You’re just a bastard!”
Many people around started to look over at Lu Chuan, their faces marked with a teasing smile as if to say, “What a ss your circle is.”
Lu Chuan’s expression stiffened, and he felt so awkward he could have dug a three-bedroom flat out of the floor with his toes.
That’s when he realized that Zhong Ling’er’s tears were actually caused by the words “love rivals” that he had uttered before.
He hurriedly sat down next to Zhong Ling’er and said, “Keep your voice down.
When did I beco the other woman?
You can’t throw such accusations around recklessly.”
Zhong Ling’er asserted confidently, “You took Qingci away from ; you are the other woman!”
Lu Chuan sighed, thought for a mont, and then decided to tell Zhong Ling’er the truth.
After all, if Zhong Ling’er continued to be hostile towards him, she might beco an obstacle when they got to the Island Country and he tried to seize the dragon vein.
He paused, and then said, “I admit, it was wrong of to ruin the relationship between you and Qingci.
However, it wasn’t sothing I wanted, as Qingci actually doesn’t really like .”
Zhong Ling’er looked at him surprised and turned her head to ask, “What do you an?”
Lu Chuan went on to explain how Zhou Yun had forced him to marry Han Qingci and that if he didn’t, he had to find a way to make Han Qingci fall in love with a man.
In desperation and by a twist of fate, he obtained the Peach Blossom Brew and had Han Qingci drink it.
“At first, I thought that once Qingci drank the Peach Blossom Brew, she would change her sexual orientation and start liking n.
But to my surprise, the effect of the Brew was to make whoever drank it fall in love with the first person of the opposite sex they saw, and at that mont, I was the only man there.
That’s how Qingci ended up liking .”
A look of helplessness spread across Lu Chuan’s face.
Zhong Ling’er’s eyes widened.
“So it’s not that Qingci stopped liking …”
Lu Chuan nodded.
Suddenly, Zhong Ling’er stretched out her hand and pinched Lu Chuan hard, angrily saying, “You bastard, how could you give Qingci such a thing?”
Lu Chuan winced in pain, quickly withdrew his arm, and said, “I had no choice; I was forced.
And who knew the woman who gave the Peach Blossom Brew was so unreliable.”
Zhong Ling’er imdiately asked, “Is there an antidote for the Peach Blossom Brew?”
Lu Chuan replied, “Naturally, there is an antidote, but we would have to get it from the woman who gave the Brew.”
“I can assure you, we will find the antidote to the Peach Blossom Brew, but you have to promise that you will listen to during this trip to the Island Country.
How about it?”
Zhong Ling’er gave Lu Chuan a suspicious look and said, “Fine, but you can’t make any excessive demands of , especially in that regard.”
Rembering the feeling when Lu Chuan kissed her forcefully, she was infuriated.
Initially, she was disgusted, but now the mory of that feeling made her blush.
It was an experience she had never had in many years.
Although she was repulsed, she couldn’t help but reminisce, like soone who knows a sock stinks but still can’t resist the urge to sll it.
Lu Chuan laughed and said, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you.”
Zhong Ling’er glared with her eyes wide and felt irrationally annoyed.
She pouted and muttered, “Hmph.”
At this mont, commotion ca from not far away.
“Is there a doctor?
Is there a doctor?
My grandfather has fainted; please, sobody save him!”
A clean and beautiful woman dressed in Island Country attire knelt anxiously beside an elderly man who had passed out on the ground, crying out desperately.
Many people gathered around, but since none of them knew dical skills, no one dared to step forward to help.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan imdiately rose to his feet and walked toward the scene.
Zhong Ling’er, watching Lu Chuan walking over, quickly called out, “Hey, they’re asking for a doctor; what are you doing over there?
Don’t just show off if you can’t do anything!”
Lu Chuan ignored her and approached the elderly man before saying to the clean woman, “Hello, I am a doctor.
Let see what’s wrong with your grandfather.”
The clean woman nodded eagerly, “Thank you so much, please save my grandfather!”
Lu Chuan squatted down and began to take the old man’s pulse.
The onlookers held their breath, eager to see if Lu Chuan really had the skills to save the man.
After a short while, Lu Chuan assessed the old man’s condition and imdiately lifted his shirt, took out silver needles, and prepared to treat him.
Right at that mont, a few people pushed through the crowd.
“Make way, make way, the renowned Dr.
Sato Hidenaka of the Island Country has arrived.
You’re all lucky today.
If it wasn’t for Dr.
Sato just happening to fly back to the country today, I’m afraid no one would’ve been able to treat this old man!”
Sato Hidenaka arrived at the elderly man’s side with an air of arrogance.
He turned to the clean woman, his eyes brightening, and said, “Haruko, it’s you!”
Kishimoto Haruko, seeing Sato Hidenaka, was also surprised and replied, “Dr.
Sato, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Sato Hidenaka smiled and said, “This must an we’re destined to et.”
He turned to look at the man lying on the ground and asked, “What happened to Mr.
Naoki?”
Kishimoto Haruko explained, “Grandfather suddenly fainted; this doctor was just about to treat him.”
Sato Hidenaka glanced at Lu Chuan and noticed the silver needles on the ground.
A look of contempt crossed his face.
“Cathay’s acupuncture technique is nothing but a joke.
My Island Country is one of the most advanced nations in dicine in the world, nothing like those swindlers of Cathay’s traditional dicine.
To leave Mr.
Naoki’s care to a Cathayan is like playing a cruel joke with his life!”
He kicked away the silver needles Lu Chuan had prepared and barked, “Cathayan charlatan, get out of the way and don’t delay the treatnt Mr.
Naoki needs!”
