Chapter 148: Chapter 148

"Asshole! Take your dirty eyes off me and cover me up with the blanket!" Cheng Qingsu raged, her almond eyes widening furiously.

"Are you an idiot? You’re the patient here, and I’m the doctor! If I don’t treat your injuries in time, and they end up killing you, how am I supposed to explain to your sister when we get back?" Zhang Xiaohao rolled his eyes and said.

"What nonsense! When you consider my sister, a favored daughter of heaven, as beautiful as a fairy, brilliant as the snow, and endowed with every conceivable grace, with both the figure and face to match, she has a line of suitors stretching from Nanhua City to Beijing. How could she ever fall for an asshole like you!" Cheng Qingsu snapped angrily.

"You don’t believe me?"

"Only a ghost would believe you!" Fınd the newest release on 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝⟡𝕗𝗂𝗋𝖾⟡𝕟𝕖𝕥

"It seems you won’t give up until you’re at the Yellow River! Well, listen up, I’m about to make you lose hope," Zhang Xiaohao said.

He took out his phone and dialed Cheng Tianxue’s number, deliberately putting it on speaker.

"Are you actually serious, asshole?" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao’s actions, Cheng Qingsu asked suspiciously.

"Of course!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smug smile.

The phone rang for a while before it was answered.

"Hello! Who is this? This is Cheng Tianxue." A sweet and pleasant voice came from the phone.

"Wife, I miss you," Zhang Xiaohao said with a laugh.

After he finished, he deliberately gave Cheng Qingsu a provocative look.

"Zhang Xiaohao, I’m warning you! Just because we’re married and have been to bed together doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want! If you dare to act like a hooligan in front of me again, don’t blame me for not being polite!" Cheng Tianxue said coldly.

"Xue’er, listen to my explanation, what happened that night was really an accident," Zhang Xiaohao said with a wry smile, rubbing his nose.

"Hmph! Don’t bother me with calls if it’s nothing important!"

With that said, Cheng Tianxue was about to hang up the phone.

"Xue’er, Qingsu is injured," Zhang Xiaohao said, seizing the opportunity.

Cheng Tianxue was just about to hang up the phone when she heard the name Cheng Qingsu, and she immediately stopped, asking anxiously, "What happened to Qingsu?"

"She was attacked by a group of thugs and sustained serious injuries!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Asshole! What did you promise me in your letter? That you would bring Qingsu back unharmed, so what did you do? Why did you let her get injured? As a man, can’t you even protect your younger sister-in-law?" Cheng Tianxue fumed.

"Xue’er, you’ve misunderstood me. By the time I arrived, Qingsu was already injured. Then I killed the attackers! I was about to treat Qingsu, but she’s rather shy! I already told her that I’m her brother-in-law and she should relax, not to overthink things because I wouldn’t take advantage of her, but she doesn’t believe me! She’d rather die from her injuries than accept my treatment. Xue’er, as her sister, can you please persuade her for me?" Zhang Xiaohao said, sounding pleased with himself.

"Qingsu, it’s your sister speaking! Listen to your brother-in-law; his medical skills are not bad. Whatever your injuries are, he can heal them!" Cheng Tianxue tried to persuade.

"Uh! Are you really my sister? You’re not impersonating her, are you?" Cheng Qingsu asked doubtfully.

"You cheeky girl! You’re quite something, eh! Not seeing you for a bit, and you can’t recognize your own sister’s voice? As your sister, I command you to unconditionally accept your brother-in-law’s treatment! Humph, if you dare refuse, even if you hide in a mouse hole, I’ll drag you out and make you cook for a month straight!" Cheng Tianxue threatened.

"Sis, are you really my dear sister? Do you have to be so harsh on me? I hate cooking!" Cheng Qingsu said, fearful.

She remembered the scene from her childhood when her elder sister forced her to learn cooking.

Countless dishes broken by her own hands, and herself covered in injuries, her body trembling uncontrollably.

"Glad you know it! Now, behave. Your brother-in-law won’t harm you, he doesn’t have any other skills, but his medical abilities are decent enough. Alright, I’ve got things to do, so I can’t chat anymore. Remember! When your brother-in-law comes back, come back with him. If you dare to make trouble again, watch out, I’ll make you cook!" Cheng Tianxue said.

"Got it, sis. Can’t I just listen to you?" Cheng Qingsu pouted.

"Zhang Xiaohao you jerk, listen up! If you want me to forgive you for that night, you can, but you better bring Qingsu back safely! If even a single hair on her head is harmed, I won’t forgive you for the rest of my life! And when you’re out, take care of yourself and don’t cause trouble! Don’t make Grandpa worry!" After saying that, Cheng Tianxue quickly hung up the phone.

"Hehe, is Xue’er actually worried about me?" Zhang Xiaohao thought proudly, touching his nose.

"That Zhang jerk, I’m asking you, how did you smack my sister around that night? Spill the beans right now!" Cheng Qingsu said with a mischievous grin, squinting her eyes.

Zhang Xiaohao raised his finger and knocked her on the head in annoyance.

"Call me brother-in-law. If you call me that jerk again, I’ll make you eat my ’eggs’! Did you hear what your sister just said? She told you to listen to me, and now I’m ordering you to lie down and stay still, I need to treat your wounds," Zhang Xiaohao boasted.

"Hmph! If my sister found out you forcefully tore up my clothes, even shredding my underwear, and with that wicked look in your eyes, you ogled me up and down, I bet you wouldn’t be able to walk away unscathed!" Cheng Qingsu said, amused.

"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Xiaohao grumbled, annoyed to be threatened by his little aunt.

"I am threatening you, what can you do about it? If you dare, bite me!" Cheng Qingsu said proudly.

"Okay! Remember, you asked for it," Zhang Xiaohao said.

He lowered his head, and boy, was he fast!

He bit down on a cherry...

"Giggle... Stop that tickles! Quit it or I’ll tell my sister you bullied me!" Cheng Qingsu trembled and laughed nonstop.

Zhang Xiaohao reluctantly gave it a lick before pulling away.

"Kid, you think you can threaten me ? I’ll tell you, you’re still a bit naive!" Zhang Xiaohao said proudly.

"Zhang Xiaohao, we’re not done here! I’ll tell my sister when we get back, that you bullied me! Heh heh, with my sister’s temperament, if she learns you took advantage of me, I guarantee you won’t be getting into her bed or her room for an entire year," Cheng Qingsu laughed.

"So tell me! What do you want me to do?" Zhang Xiaohao spread his hands in resignation.

Dealing with such an outrageous little auntie, he couldn’t beat her or scold her, and she would tattle at the drop of a hat. He was really at his wits’ end.

"If you’d been this easy to deal with earlier, I wouldn’t have made it tough for you! The day after tomorrow, I need you to accompany me to a banquet, and you’ll follow my commands. As long as you agree, I won’t tell my sister you bullied me, and later, when we treat the wounds, I’ll be at your mercy," Cheng Qingsu said.

"Is it really just a banquet?" Zhang Xiaohao asked skeptically.

He had already guessed what she was up to. Kid, you’re still too green to compete with me.

"Mhm, even if it’s dangerous, with your skills, you should be able to leave safely," Cheng Qingsu said.

"Fine! I agree," Zhang Xiaohao nodded.

"Then, then my chest hurts so bad, come and help me fast!" Suddenly, Cheng Qingsu blushed and spoke in a breathy whisper.
