Chapter 5 - Chance Encounter with the Cold Female Doctor
Sitting back in the POLO, Cai Yan saw Su Tao going back into silence, as if he was a different person earlier, and said with complex feelings, "You're very courageous earlier. Even my legs had gone soft after seeing those beefy rogues."
Su Tao withdrew his gaze from the nightscape beyond the car window and looked at Cai Yan's exquisite face. Her hair was bundled up, revealing her pearly-white ears and delicate earlobes, her cyan veins could be seen.
It was easy to rouse the desire in the hearts of any man because of Cai Yan's gentle appearance. This was the reason why Scar teased her.
Cai Yan wore a rather long dress today, which covered to her knees. When she stepped on the gas, her legs had to split apart, opening a tiny crack, revealing a portion of her smooth thigh that could easily cause an upheaval in the thoughts of others, fantasising if other scenes might be revealed.
Su Tao dryly coughed, then looked ahead. "I really did not intend to fight. But the law is useless against them. Compared to that, fists are more effective."
"So you intended to fight from the beginning?" Cai Yan was speechless when she finally understood why Su Tao had previously said that he would try not to make a move. At that time, she still felt that Su Tao was boasting.
"This is just the beginning." Su Tao optimistically smiled. "I'll deal with whatever that comes."
Su Tao had been drifting around for years, experiencing too much, thus he was good at keeping his composure. But still, he was an unyielding man deep in his bones with the 'if others do not provoke me, I will not provoke others' kind of mindset.
He might look gentle and mild on the surface, but he was a real man in his heart. Protecting the Three Flavour Hall was his responsibility. So if anyone wanted to harm it, he would not care what background that fellow had and he would definitely repay the debt ten-fold.
Cai Yan inwardly sighed. Right from the beginning, Su Tao had already intended to use his fists to inform the developer that he was not someone to be trifled with.
However, she heard rumours that the developer was very powerful, so the developer would definitely not give up on the demolition. Would Su Tao be able to come out unscattered next time?
When Su Tao saw that Cai Yan had suddenly gone silent, he took the initiative to start a topic, "Actually, there's no need for you to come to the Three Flavour Hall to see your illness. Take your medication according to the prescription that I have given you. At most, you will recover in two months."
Cai Yan blinked her eyes, before she smiled. "Why? You're thinking that I'm troublesome?"
Su Tao shook his head as he explained, "Your illness isn't anything big, but at the same time, it isn't anything small. It's tough to cure the root, I can only stabilise your illness. The main thing is still your heart, so I said a couple of jokes to you every day to let your heart maintain a cheerful mood."
Cai Yan replied, "Why did you not tell me that earlier?"
If I told you, then I would not be a doctor but a fool. Su Tao thought inwardly as he smiled, "Sometimes, doctors lie when examining the illness. That's because the patient is extremely fragile and sensitive. So if we directly told them the illness, it might have a negative effect instead."
Cai Yan was stunned, before she pursued, "Then, why are you telling me now?"
Su Tao swept a glance at Cai Yan's glittering eyes and answered, "Because we're friends."
Earlier, when Cai Yan faced Scar and his goons, she stood up and spoke for him, which made Su Tao feel grateful.
Cai Yan smiled, before she mocked herself, "So you've always been treating me like a stranger."
"Previously, our relations.h.i.+p was only that of a doctor and patient." Su Tao explained as he continued, "But since we've fought together side-by-side, we're comrades now."
Cai Yan's gaze fell on the road before her, before she felt a sweetness in her heart, then she sent Su Tao to the pharmacy before leaving.
When Su Tao returned to his bedroom, he took out a medical trunk that looked to have some age. When he opened it, there was a notebook that looked tattered on the outside. This was the medical journal of Su Guangsheng that had his insight from his years of practising medicine.
Su Tao flipped to the last page and pondered for a long time before placing the notebook back in the medical trunk. If everything went as he expected, then the boss of the development project, Nie Weiting, would send someone at him again in about one or two days.
On the second day, Su Tao brought along his medical trunk as he applied acupuncture for Vera. In the treatment process, there was only him and Vera due to the patient's privacy.
Vera was preparing to remove her patient clothes and half of her pearly-white skin was revealed. Su Tao swept a glance, then immediately stopped her and smiled, "We're doing acupuncture today, there's no need to remove your clothes."
Vera initially thought that she had to be naked today as well for the treatment, since she only wore an outer garment. She didn't even wear any undergarments, so her towering chest b.u.mped out an awl. There were two pink b.u.t.tons before her chest. She was only wearing a silk dress, blurring things out.
Although Su Tao had seen her naked body before, there was an additional flavour in Vera when she wore clothes, compared to her not wearing any, giving more room for fantasy to wander.
