Chapter 53 -53 In a nutshell, it depends on my mood

“Churan and I just played cards all night, nothing like what you’re thinking. You know, poker?”

Han Jieke laughed. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

“That, I understand, we get it, but Brother Long, are you really that good?”

Tang Ying said suspiciously.

“So-so, I guess. Kept at it until the wee hours without a problem,” Long Chen said.

“Impressive.”

Tang Ying’s face flushed slightly.

“Xiaoying, even if Brother Long is bragging, you won’t have a chance to test it. Don’t be so curious,”

Jiang Tong laughed.

“Well, that’s not necessarily true.”

Long Chen teased.

Tang Ying immediately stomped her foot in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

“Let’s have dinner first.”

Long Chen stood up.

…

At this moment, the Han Xiao family of three returned to Li Yuechan’s place and had Han Min call Li Yuechan back.

Li Yuechan was reluctantly dragged back by Han Min, clearly unhappy.

“What’s so important? There’s still a pile of things left unarranged at the construction site,”

Li Yuechan said through clenched teeth.

“I’ve asked your dad to take care of the construction site. You need to accompany your aunt to the clinic today; you must go,”

Han Min said.

“Why must I be the one to go?”

Li Yuechan was very puzzled.

“Because only you can persuade him to treat me; no one else will do,”

Gao Jinlan said in a grave voice.

“Aunt, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”

Li Yuechan replied.

“Let me explain it to you.” Holding Li Yuechan’s hand, Gao Jinlan spoke with heartfelt emotion, “The Divine Doctor at Dragon Medical Hall is Long Chen. He’s not willing to treat me, and I’m really out of options, so I’ve come to you. Please beg him; he’ll definitely agree to treat me.”

“What? Long Chen, the Divine Doctor?”

Li Yuechan was taken aback and couldn’t quite grasp the situation.

“Yes, guaranteed. He has already cured many high-profile individuals. I was skeptical at first, but now I truly believe it. Yuechan, you must help me. My life is in your hands,”

Gao Jinlan’s voice trembled.

But Li Yuechan was stuck in a profound struggle, her heart both shaken and complex.

That Long Chen possessed remarkable medical skills and she had known nothing about it.

Reflecting on her year-and-more of marriage with Long Chen, she realized she knew too little about him.

As for Gao Jinlan’s request, Li Yuechan didn’t know whether to agree.

If she agreed to plead with Long Chen, it would be like deliberately going to provoke and disgust him.

After all, it was Gao Jinlan’s family that had caused her divorce from him.

Yet if she refused, this was her aunt, after all—a life was at stake.

“Yuechan, just go this once. No matter the outcome, just do your best,”

Han Min urged.

“Alright, I’ll go with you, but whether it will be successful, I don’t know, since Long Chen is also quite averse to me now,”

Li Yuechan said solemnly.

“Then let’s go, right away,”

Gao Jinlan said impatiently.

“Okay.”

Li Yuechan nodded.

She wanted to see for herself what Long Chen’s clinic looked like.

“I’ll accompany you guys to check it out,”

Han Min joined in the commotion.

Soon after, the group arrived at Dragon Medical Hall.

As soon as they entered the clinic, Li Yuechan saw two voluptuous women in cheongsams, one massaging Long Chen’s shoulders, the other pounding his legs.

This scene made Li Yuechan feel an unexplainable tightness in her chest, very uncomfortable, with an urge to cry.

The Long Chen of the past would never have done this.

Ever since she divorced him, not only was he with a beauty CEO like Zhao Churan, but now he also had such stunningly beautiful women serving him.

The disparity between before and after was simply too great.

Long Chen, upon seeing Li Yuechan accompany them, wasn’t surprised in the least, nor did he show any intention of standing up.

“What are you doing here?”

Long Chen asked indifferently.

“Yuechan, you… you speak.”

Gao Jinlan hurriedly said to Li Yuechan.

Li Yuechan closed her eyes and took a deep breath before speaking, “Long Chen, I’ve come to ask if you might consider helping to treat my aunt’s illness.”

“Ask me? With what will you ask? Do they think that bringing you here will persuade me?”

Long Chen scoffed coldly.

“A physician has a compassionate heart, I hope you can…”

“Spare me that.” Long Chen said coldly, “Someone like Gao Jinlan could die a thousand times and I wouldn’t lift a finger. What difference does your presence make? Seeing a woman like you only makes me feel sicker.”

The words spilled out, bringing Long Chen both a sense of satisfaction and an inexplicable sorrow.

Once upon a time, he had dreamt of having Li Yuechan, cherishing her in silence.

But in the end, Li Yuechan had turned around and saddled him with a massive disappointment.

Li Yuechan, hearing such callous words from Long Chen, couldn’t help but have tears spill over, “Am I really so repulsive to you? After all, we were husband and wife; why do you have to say such hurtful things?”

“You hurt me ten times deeper than I hurt you.”

Long Chen said gravely.

“I…”

Li Yuechan opened her mouth but found herself at a loss for words.

If she were to say nothing happened between her and Han Jieke, Long Chen probably wouldn’t believe it now, would he?

“I could agree to treat Gao Jinlan, but I have a condition.”

Long Chen’s gaze was ice-cold.

“What condition?”

Li Yuechan asked.

“Come closer, and I’ll tell you.”

Long Chen gestured with his finger.

Li Yuechan immediately walked up to Long Chen, who whispered something in her ear, leaving Li Yuechan suddenly blushing and frozen in place.

“I’ll give you ten seconds to think about it. Ten, nine…”

Long Chen began counting.

“Fine, I agree.”

Li Yuechan said through clenched teeth.

“Go to the third floor. Tang Ying, take her to my room.”

Long Chen directed indifferently.

“Alright.”

Tang Ying dutifully obeyed, leading Li Yuechan upstairs.

“Wait.” Han Jieke became anxious, “Long Chen, what are you trying to do? I warn you, don’t even think about…”

“Do you think you have a say in this?”

Long Chen’s eyes were frosty as he stared fiercely at Han Jieke.

“Son, don’t speak up; you… go outside.”

Gao Jinlan quickly said.

“Mom, he’s obviously…”

“Jack, let’s go outside.”

Han Xiao swiftly pulled Han Jieke away.

It was not easy to make Long Chen relent; they couldn’t afford to offend him again.

“Everyone out.” Long Chen said coldly, “If I’m satisfied, I’ll send for Gao Jinlan to be treated. If I’m not, then I’m sorry, no amount of pleading will help. In short, it depends on my mood.”

“Long Chen, why do you have to be so extreme? After all, you and Yuechan were husband and wife.”

Han Min voiced with some trepidation.

She realized that the Long Chen standing before them now was like a changed person, with a daunting presence.

He was nothing like the subservient Long Chen of the past, truly a world of difference.

Hearing Han Min’s words, Long Chen couldn’t help but laugh, “The least qualified to speak those words is you. Hurry up and get out.”

“You…”

“Big sister, let’s just go for now. Long Chen, please calm down, I’ll wait for your notification.”

Gao Jinlan quickly dragged Han Min out.

Watching this line of people leave, Long Chen immediately instructed Jiang Tong to close the doors of the Dragon Medical Hall.

Afterwards, Long Chen stood up and headed towards the third floor.
