Chapter 476: Young Doctor Took The Money and s.h.i.+rked Responsibility?
Butler Lu was taken aback when he heard that. Everyone in the manor knows that Young Master does not like sweet things. Who is the honey water for? There was no need to mention it explicitly.
After maintaining the manor for decades, Butler Lu had long learned how to read someone’s body language. There was only one thought in his mind. This Ms. Gu cannot be mistreated.
He lost attention for a while. He lowered his head. “Yes.”
Then, Butler Lu retreated.
Lu Chengzhou turned to Gu Mang. “Have a shower first?”
Gu Mang acknowledged with a hum.
“There are some clothes in the wardrobe.” Lu Chengzhou lifted his chin.
Gu Mang walked over and opened up wardrobe. It was almost the same as at Seal Palace. Half of the clothes belonged to him while the other half belonged to her.
She tutted and raised her eyebrow. “Rather well prepared.”
Lu Chengzhou said nothing.
Gu Mang picked a white s.h.i.+rt and loose, black pants. Then, she went into the bathroom.
When she was just about to enter, she paused and turned her head to look at Lu Chengzhou. “What about tonight? There is no doctor here.”
There was a doctor at the medical room in Red Flame to help him, but now that he is back in the manor, how is he going to wash up on his own? And change his bandages?
Lu Chengzhou looked at her. His tone was self-righteously calm. “Aren’t you my private doctor? I hired you for a year.”
Gu Mang kept silent.
Ah, I almost forgot that he paid me one year’s worth of medical fees to be his private doctor.
Seeing that she remained silent, Lu Chengzhou looked away and a smile crept on his face. “Is the young doctor going to s.h.i.+rk her responsibilities after getting paid?”
Gu Mang looked at him. After a while, she smiled with a deep look. “Sure.”
Lu Chengzhou didn’t think much about the look in her eyes, and nodded. “Go on. Take your shower first.”
Gu Mang entered the bathroom and shut the door. Lu Chengzhou looked at the sandalwood double-opening door and smiled. When his gaze returned to the diet dinner which looked nowhere near as appetizing, he stared at it for a few seconds and sighed slowly. He bit his lip and picked up his chopsticks.
Twenty minutes later, Gu Mang came out from the bathroom. Lu Chengzhou had finished his meal and there was a cup of honey water on the bedside table.
He looked at her and his voice was warm. “Drink the honey water.”
Gu Mang uttered an ‘oh’ and wrapped her head with the towel. She walked over to the bedside and picked up the cup. Then, she sat on the bed and supported herself by grasping the side of the bed.
Lu Chengzhou put his hand on the back of her hand, intertwining his five fingers with hers. He asked in a low voice, “Where did you eat this afternoon?”
Gu Mang took a sip of the honey water and answered, “World Restaurant.”
Lu Chengzhou touched her fingertips with the palm of her hand. There was a thin callus developing. “Have you known Yu Zhongjing for a long time?”
Yu Mufeng had gone to the airport to fetch them.
Gu Mang turned to him and her mouth twitched. “Don’t you mean to ask about Yu Mufeng?”
Lu Chengzhou should have known for a long time that she knew Yu Zhongjing.
On the day of the operation on Mrs. Lu, Yu Zhongjing had almost blurted out “Master” when he saw her. Could Lu Chengzhou not have seen it?
But he did not care about her relations.h.i.+p with Yu Zhongjing. Lu Chengzhou cleared his throat. He did not answer and his expression was a little unnatural.
Gu Mang glanced at him and a shallow smile appeared in her eyes. She drank the honey water in one gulp and put down the cup. Then, she let go of his hand and got up to use the bathroom.
Lu Chengzhou watched her walk away and tapped his fingers on the bed. A minute later, Gu Mang came out with a towel and sat on the bed again.
Lu Chengzhou looked at her with deep, black eyes.
Gu Mang looked up and made eye contact with him. “Shut your eyes.”
Lu Chengzhou shut his eyes without saying a word. Gu Mang folded the towel expressionlessly and wiped his face.
The towel was warm and when it touched Lu Chengzhou’s face, he tensed up. It was as if his face had gotten very sensitive all of a sudden. Even a slight touch made him feel uncomfortable and elicited a big reaction. Lu Chengzhou’s finger curled a little.
He kind of understood the meaning of Gu Mang’s glance before she entered the bathroom. She would scrub him, but he would suffer the entire way.
