Lu Xiu couldn’t help but hold Cheng Ling’s hand and shake it up and down. “Miss Cheng, it doesn’t matter how long it takes. As long as you can cure my brother, he can endure any amount of pain.”
Lu Qi: “?”
How did this scene change so quickly.
He leaned forward to push away Lu Xiu and Cheng Ling’s hands. “Brother, don’t hurt Miss Cheng’s hands.”
Cheng Ling smiled and retracted her hands.
She knew that Lu Xiu cared a lot about his brother, but judging from his reaction just now, he didn’t just care, but he cared a lot! Hearing that Lu Qi’s illness could be cured, Lu Xiu was even more excited than Lu Qi.
She handed the prescription to Lu Qi. “You can stop taking the Dragon Pill Powder now, and take this prescription instead. You can get it from the most ordinary pharmacy. Boil the medicine with three bowls of water until it condense into one bowl every day, and drink it after dinner.”
Lu Qi took the paper. The handwriting on the paper was delicate and handsome, like a girl’s handwriting. However, it also carried the free and unrestrained style of a boy. It was very beautiful.
The ingredients and dosage were clearly marked. Lu Xiu also stretched his head out to look at it.
After following Lu Qi to look for doctor for so many years, Lu Xiu had heard of some Chinese medicine. So it was not difficult to tell that the ingredients on the paper were the most common ones in the market.
Would such a medicine really work?
Cheng Ling seemed to have seen through Lu Xiu’s doubts and took the initiative to answer.
“Young Master Lu has been taking Dragon Pill Powder for six years, and his body has long developed resistance to Dragon Pill Powder. I believe that Young Master Lu himself can also feel that its effects are no longer that good.”
Lu Qi nodded. In the past, after he took the Dragon Pill Powder, the pain would immediately disappear. But now, it could only be alleviated, and the effects were minimal.
The professors of the Kyoto Research Institute were working together to improve the Dragon Pill Powder for him. However, after a few months, there had not been any good news.
Sometimes in the middle of the night, he would be tormented by the pain until he could not sleep. Even in the scorching hot August or September, his head would be covered in cold sweat.
Of course, Lu Xiu did not know about this. Lu Qi had always been the type of person who would bite off his teeth and swallow blood. Otherwise, he would not have become the head of the Lu family.
“The Dragon Pill Powder is only used to reduce toxins and alleviate pain. Its effect is no longer as good as before. It can completely be replaced by this prescription of mine. Take this first, and I will go back and study it properly.”
Lu Qi handed the prescription to Lu Dong and let him handle it.
“Thank you, Cheng Ling.”
Lu Qi had clearly said the words ‘Cheng Ling’. Coming from Lu Qi’s mouth, this name seemed to sound even better.
Cheng Ling shook her head. “It’s just part of my job. Young Master Lu, you have to take care of your health. It’s changing seasons recently, and the weather changes frequently. You have to keep yourself warm to avoid from getting a cold.”
“Okay, got it.”
Lu Qi was about to send Cheng Ling back when Lu Xi took a phone call and suddenly whispered something into Lu Qi’s ear.
Lu Qi frowned slightly and looked troubled. “I have to return to the east of the city to deal with something for the time being...”
“I can go back by myself. I’m familiar with this place, and I happen to have another place to go.”
“You can do it yourself?”
“Yes.” Seeing that Lu Qi seemed to be about to answer a phone call, Cheng Ling nodded. She didn’t stay any longer. She took her things and left.
Suddenly, the landline phone in the hotel room rang. It was the front desk. It said that the elevator was temporarily out of order. If they wanted to go downstairs, they had to take the emergency stairs.
Lu Qi was making a phone call. When he heard the news, he quickly asked Lu Bei to inform Cheng Ling and bring her to the stairway entrance.
Lu Bei ran out. He saw Cheng Ling see the notice on the elevator, and without looking, she skillfully turned right and then left. She then pushed open a door and went straight down the stairs.
He scratched his head and returned to his room. It was strange. Why did Miss Cheng seem to be very familiar with this hotel? Back then, they had spent a lot of effort to find that exit.
Lu Qi and Lu Xiu immediately returned to the east of the city. Before they left, they left Lu Dong alone here.
“Ah? Why? Young Lord, Young Master, you... you don’t want me anymore?”
Lu Dong was such a pitiful man! ! Just because he said a few bad things about Miss Cheng?!
“No, Cheng Ling is my doctor now, so we naturally have to protect her. You stay here. If there’s any trouble, you can allocate the resources to accommodate Cheng Ling’s requests.”
Lu Qi said so. But Lu Dong still thought that Lu Qi treated Cheng Ling so well because he liked Cheng Ling.
In the past, there were so many doctors, but Lu Qi had never added anyone’s WeChat and protected them.
Therefore, Lu Dong stayed alone in the west of the city, lamenting that even heroes would fall for beauty.
