    “Hey! What do you mean?” Lushen caught up and said, “You refused to give it to me before, and now you’re suddenly so generous. There must be a conspiracy!”


    Shen Wan took a step back, creating some distance between them, and then looked at him with a smile that seemed somewhat mysterious.


    Lushen was suspicious. “What’s with that look?”


    “Turns out you’re not dumb.”


    Lushen muttered to himself, “F*cking Bitch.”


    “Go and find out what Tian Shui Real Estate has been up to recently. That’s the reason why Shen Qian and you had a big fight. It’s not because of this bracelet, and it’s certainly not my fault. So, if you’re looking for trouble, make sure you target the right person, or you’ll end up being yed like a fool.”


    *Ding*


    Just at that moment, the elevator arrived. The doors opened, and Shen Wan stepped inside, pressing the button for the basement floor.


    Right as the metal doors began to close, someone who was still lost in thought suddenly squeezed in as well.


    Shen Wan frowned. “Is what I said not clear enough?”


    Lushen remained silent.


    When they reached the basement, a strong medicinal scent filled the air.


    Zou Lian was adding herbs to a ceramic pot and, upon seeing the two of theming out of the elevator, he was slightly surprised. “What’s going on with you two?”


    Shen Wan walked straight over. “I’m sorry to trouble you again, but I feel like my wound might have…split open.”


    “What happened?” Zou Lian finished adding thest herb, brushed off the herbal dust from his hands, and said, “You sit down first, I’ll wash my hands.”


    Lushen, hearing this, looked slightly taken aback. What had he done just now…


    “Put your hand up.”


    Shen Wanplied. Zou Lian unwrapped the bandage and, after removing a couple ofyers, saw the blood seeping through, like a tiny red plum blossom on a white snowfield.


    Lushen moved closer, a trace of guilt shing in his eyes. He apologized softly, “I didn’t mean to…”


    Shen Wan remained silent.


    Zou Lian, on the other hand, looked at them with surprise, his gaze shifting between the two of them. Perhaps he sensed an unusual tension in the air, as his expression darkened. “Nonsense! After keeping it well overnight without any bleeding or infection, how did you manage to do this in such a short time? You two…”


    Lushen shrank his neck, lowered his head, and epted the scolding obediently.


    “Do we need to re-bandage it?” Shen Wan interrupted.


    Zou Lian looked at her with a displeased expression. “What a dumb question.”


    Shen Wan chuckled softly. This old man, who appeared gentle and friendly, had quite the temper.


    Five minutester…


    Zou Lian said, “Done. Don’t me me for not reminding you in advance. If it splits open again, just go to the hospital to get stitches. Even the best doctor can’t cure a patient who doesn’t listen.”


    “Thank you, I’ll be careful.”


    “In half an hour, remember toe down and take your medicine.”


    Shen Wan nodded. “Thank you for your trouble.”


    Zou Lian’s expression eased slightly.


    Shen Wan sat for another two minutes before getting up to leave. Lushen automatically followed, keeping a one-step distance from her, struggling to speak several times but ultimately remaining silent.


    As they entered the elevator, the bright metal walls reflected their silhouettes.


    Shen Wan’s expression remained unchanged, while Lushen kept his head down, lost in thought.


    *Ding!*


    “I’m sorry!”


    As Shen Wan had just taken a couple of steps, she heard a muffled sound from behind. She tugged at the corners of her mouth, a hint of sarcasm in her expression.


    “I really didn’t mean to. Who would have thought that such a light press would…I didn’t mean to say that you’re weak…what I mean is…forget it, it’s all my fault.” His words were incoherent as he watched the slender figure of the woman, feeling thoroughly disheartened.


    He might be overbearing, but he wouldn’t stoop so low as to bully a patient, especially when this patient kept retreating and genuinely wanted to reconcile with him.


    “This time, I went too far. If you have any requests, just mention them, and I promise to do whatever I can!”


    “Is that so?” Shen Wan stopped and turned to look at him.


    Lushen nodded eagerly!
