Chapter 628: Is There Any News About the Miracle Doctor?
When Gu Mang came out of the bathroom drying her hair with a towel, Lu Chengzhou was no longer in the room, however there was a cup of honey water on the table. She slowly walked over and touched the cup, which was still warm. She cocked an eyebrow and she lifted it to take a sip. Her phone, which was placed on the table, vibrated suddenly. She wrapped the towel around her head, picked up her phone, then turned around and lazily leaned against the table as she read her brother’s message.
[Sis, did you forget about your smart and handsome baby brother again?]
She scrolled through the chat history, which was a series of messages from Gu Si, to which she did not reply at all. She did not feel remorseful as she replied with a question mark.
Meanwhile, Gu Si, who was nestled in a chair in the technical team’s office at Red Flame with his little legs stacked on the table, felt quite dispirited as he stared at the cold, perfunctory symbol on the screen. He felt that his status was dropping further and further by the day. He would soon fall out of favor. With a miserable expression, he sighed and started tapping on his phone. [Sis, if you don’t deliver the medicine to your baby brother, he’ll really die at the age of eight.]
It was only then that she realized that she had forgotten to ask Lu Chengzhou to hand the medicine over to him. She slowly typed, [I forgot. You’ll receive it within two days.]
Upon receiving confirmation that his sister had indeed forgotten about him, Gu Si pouted and sucked in a deep breath, mumbling to himself, “My sister loves me very much! I’m her precious baby brother! I didn’t fall out of favor! I hold a lot of weight in her heart!”
When his mood improved after repeating those lines several times, he continued typing, [Sis, has your military training ended?]
Gu Mang placed the empty cup on the table after finishing the honey water and replied, [Yes. How is it at Red Flame?]
My sister is showing concern! She still cares about me! Gu Si became revitalized when he saw her question. Sitting straight up, he excitedly typed, [Not bad. Brother Missing Gateway and Brother Xing Zhi taught me a lot of things and the food here is delicious! They even roasted an entire lamb for me!]
Mirth flashed across his sister’s eyes when she saw his reply. [Red Flame’s technical team is quite good. Learn well from them.]
[I got it, Sis.] Then, upon remembering something, he sent another message to her. [By the way, I heard from Lu Jiu and Lu Shi that Huo Zhi is on Mingyu Island. He’s probably here to look for me.]
The smile in her eyes was gone in a flash, replaced by a bone-chilling expression. [Just stay at Red Flame.]
[Okay. Don’t worry, Sis, they won’t be able to find me], replied Gu Si.
After chatting with her brother for a little while more, Gu Mang took out the medicine that Jiang Sui had given to her previously from her backpack and headed downstairs with her phone.
...
Lu Chengzhou had changed his clothes and was in the middle of a discussion with He Yidu and Qin Fang about Red Scorpion downstairs. The trio stopped talking when they saw Gu Mang come down and Lu Chengzhou pulled her chair out for her to sit next to him right away.
She handed him the palm-sized medicine box. “Help me send this to Gu Si.”
“What’s that, Sis-in-law?” asked Qin Fang curiously. However, upon receiving a withering look from her, he swallowed his saliva and turned toward the butler instead. “I’m starving. Can we start dinner now?”
“Dinner is ready,” answered Butler Lu, who then turned to face the couple.
Lu Chengzhou took the box from Gu Mang and passed it to He Yidu. “Make a trip to Red Flame with Qin Fang tomorrow.”
“Got it.” He Yidu carefully took it from him, not daring to handle anything that concerned Gu Mang carelessly.
...
The four of them gathered in the study after dinner. Gu Mang slumped into the side of the sofa playing a mobile game, while Lu Chengzhou and the other two men began talking about Red Scorpion’s latest happenings again. As he sipped a mouthful of tea, he glanced at his fiancée from time to time. After settling Red Scorpion’s affairs and signing a document, he put down the pen and asked, “Is there any news about the Miracle Doctor?”
Gu Mang raised her eyebrows a little when she heard the question, but she remained calm as she continued playing the game.
