The Sweetest Medicine

Lu Xuechen’s expression turned dark because of Lin Jiayu’s actions. Looking at her coldly, he asked, “What are you looking at?”

“It’s none of your business.”

“Do you like him?”

Lin Jiayu was completely speechless. She wanted to ignore Lu Xuechen. So, without even returning to soak her feet, she stood straight up and returned to her room.

Lu Xuechen actually regretted his words after he had said it. What if it made him sad? What if the truth was too hard to handle? But, judging by Lin Jiayu’s expression, it didn’t seem like she liked him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t remain so calm.

From his understanding of women, they usually got angry from embarrassment when exposed in front of the person they liked.

Lu Xuechen suddenly lost interest in the hot spring as well. He immediately stood up and followed Lin Jiayu, “Slow down. Be careful of your son.”

Lin Jiayu: “…”

…

Jiang Qi changed positions and moved to Yu Gangan’s side. With a smile, she said, “We only have 3 pools in our courtyard, but I know there is still a red wine pool and an angelica pool in the public area. I heard they are good for women.”

Yu Gangan smiled slightly, “Adding angelica to hot spring water has a good effect on blood and qi deficiency, and is especially good during menstruation. Women with abnormal menstruation should soak in it.”

As Jiang Qi listened, she suddenly blushed and said with embarrassment, “Sister-in-law, how can you be so direct?”

Yu Gangan looked at her, “What’s wrong with talking about it? Are you menstruating on time? Are you experiencing any discomfort? Is that why you asked to use it?”

“I want to use the red wine pool,” Jiang Qi corrected.

“But, I have a low tolerance to alcohol. What if…”

Before Yu Gangan finished speaking a gentle laugh sounded from the side, “If you want to use the red wine pool, Xiao Qi, I can accompany you.”

The two women lifted their eyes and saw Gu Shuling.

She removed her bathrobe and slowly walked towards them.

Unlike Yu Gangan and Jiang Qi’s conservative bathing suits, Gu Shuling was wearing a sexy bikini.

As she walked towards the hot spring pool, she glanced around like she was looking for someone.

Jiang Qi immediately knew the woman was looking for her brother.

She felt uncomfortable sharing a pool with Gu Shuling, so she suddenly stood up, wrapped herself in her bathrobe, and said to Yu Gangan, “I’m going to ask Master Handsome if he wants to soak in the red wine pool.”

Although Jiang Qi smiled at Gu Shuling as she left, Yu Gangan sensed that she was avoiding her.

Something must have happened between them.

Otherwise, Jiang Qi wouldn’t have cried.

Gu Shuling initiated a conversation with Yu Gangan, “Hi, Miss Yu, why are you on your own? Why isn’t Brother Han accompanying you?”

“He’s obviously not the kind of person that likes soaking in hot springs,” Yu Gangan replied with a smile.

Gu Shuling adjusted her position and leaned back against the edge of the pool, “Brother Han knows how to enjoy the finer things in life. If I remember correctly, he has his own private hot spring villa. Hasn’t he taken you there before?”

“Oh,” Yu Gangan replied indifferently.

“I grew up with Brother Han. You could say that we are childhood friends. I know about his villa because we have a good relationship.”

After Gu Shuling spoke she stared at Yu Gangan to observe her expression.

Yu Gangan smiled faintly and asked, “If I remember correctly, the first time I met you, Fang Zhihan asked you who you were.”
