The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 5: Do you want to make this a real-life relationship with me?
Lin Chen took the prescription, looked it over carefully, and smiled, "My prescription is similar to yours, except I added 15 grams of Litsea cubeba."

"Litsea cubeba?"

Wen Yu'an murmured to himself, lost in thought, his eyes somewhat unfocused.

The prescription was crucial to Gu Jianjun's recovery, so Gu Hongtao and the others dared not disturb him and remained silent, though their expressions grew increasingly strange.

Wen Yu'an was actually asking Lin Chen for a prescription?
Is Lin Chen's medical skill even better than Wen Yu'an's?
Gu Yuexi stared at Lin Chen with bright eyes, as if she had discovered a new continent.

What kind of deity did I just pick up and bring home?

On the other side, Wen Yu'an's expression grew increasingly excited as he pondered, his eyes growing brighter and brighter, until finally he slapped his own thigh.

"So that's how it is. Adding Litsea cubeba creates a wonderful reaction with the other herbs, increasing the potency of this medicine by at least 30%. Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

Wen Yu'an came to his senses and looked at Lin Chen with respect in his eyes.

"Mr. Lin's medical skills are superb, and I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him. I wonder if I could get your contact information so that I can express my gratitude to you in person another day and also ask you for some advice."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised: "You are a renowned doctor, why are you asking me for advice?"

Wen Yu'an's expression was calm and sincere: "There is no limit to medical skills; those who have mastered them can be my teachers."

Seeing that Wen Yu'an was sincere and clearly speaking from the heart, Lin Chen took out his phone and exchanged contact information with Wen Yu'an.

"Mr. Lin, I'll go now and contact you later."

"it is good!"

Wen Yu'an turned and left, and Jiao Feng followed him with an embarrassed expression, leaving behind a sentence before leaving.

"I am powerless to help the old man with his illness. Please do as Mr. Lin says."

Inside the house, the Gu family looked at Lin Chen, and the atmosphere became strange.

Gu Yuexi was the first to speak: "Lin Chen, you just said that my grandfather's illness can be cured?"

Lin Chen picked up a pen, added Litsea cubeba to the prescription Wen Yu'an had just written, and handed the prescription to Gu Yuexi: "Boil three bowls of water down to one bowl. Take one dose three times a day for a month, along with acupuncture... um..."

Lin Chen suddenly realized that he was just a fake boyfriend. In two hours, he would have no connection with the Gu family, so what was the point of acupuncture?

But having already said all that, Lin Chen had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue, "The effect is even better when combined with acupuncture. Of course, even without acupuncture, if you continue taking the medicine, the symptoms will also improve greatly, and the illness should not relapse like it did today."

The Gu family was overjoyed. Just now, the attending physician, Jiao Feng, said that there was nothing he could do, but the matter was resolved in the blink of an eye.

If it doesn't recur, doesn't that mean it's almost cured?

Although Lin Chen doesn't even have a medical license, he's someone even Wen Yu'an respectfully consults. So his words should be counted and valid, right?
But... in conjunction with acupuncture?
Gu Yuexi frowned secretly. Even Wen Yu'an didn't know how to do acupuncture, let alone other doctors.

If I take medicine and acupuncture for a month, does that mean I have to continue pretending to be his girlfriend after today?
Not finished?
Gu Jianjun was nearly dead after all that commotion and lay down weakly. Gu Yuexi's mother, Bai Qian, stayed in the room to take care of him, while the others left the ward. In the corridor, Gu Hongtao stared at Lin Chen: "Lin Chen, can Xiaoxi's grandfather's illness be completely cured?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Acupuncture combined with medication will be fine."

Gu Yuexi glared at Lin Chen, her gaze unreadable.

You bastard, you weren't doing this on purpose, were you?

Using acupuncture as an excuse, are you trying to make this a real relationship with me?

Dream on you!

Lin Chen noticed Gu Yuexi's glance and added with a smile, "It's fine without acupuncture. Just extend the medication period by a month, and it shouldn't relapse afterward. I'm busy with work and things, so the timing might not be right for me..."

Gu Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief. "You're smart to know what's good for you!"
Do you think I'm good enough for you?

Toad wants to eat!

snort!
Gu Hongtao thought for a moment, then took out a bank card from his pocket and handed it to Lin Chen.

"You saved Xiaoxi's grandfather today, and our whole family is very grateful to you. In order to prevent the old man from suffering like this again, please take good care of him during this period and take charge of his treatment. Don't neglect the acupuncture. It would be best if he could fully recover without any lingering problems... Here is 500,000 yuan. Please accept it as compensation for the time we have wasted."

Half a million?
A wealthy family!
Lin Chen didn't rush to reach out, but instead looked at Gu Yuexi beside him.

Gu Yuexi was stunned for a moment, seemingly not expecting her father to do such a thing.

She didn't care about the 500,000, but with her father doing this, wouldn't she and Lin Chen have to continue pretending?

Gu Yuexi called out in dissatisfaction, "Dad!"

Gu Hongtao misunderstood Gu Yuexi's dissatisfied shout, thinking that she felt Lin Chen was her boyfriend and that he was helping her grandfather with his treatment, so she shouldn't be so formal in giving him money. He frowned and more firmly stuffed the bank card into Lin Chen's hand.

"The password is six eights... Xiaoxi, I know you and Lin Chen are lovers, but your relationship is one thing, and Lin Chen saving your grandfather is another. I don't want to confuse the two, nor do I want this matter to affect the future of your relationship."

A strange smile flashed in Lin Chen's eyes.

Gu Hongtao looked down on him because he had no background and was just a poor boy, so he didn't even look at him. After he saved the old man, he chose to use money to settle the favor, so that when he broke up the "lovers", the favor would still be there and difficult to deal with.

Now that I've received the money, this matter is no longer delayed or indebted, and I won't be involved in any favors or be accused of betraying me.

"Since Uncle says so, then I'll accept it."

Lin Chen accepted the bank card, glanced at Gu Yuexi who was pouting beside him, and added with a smile, "When Yueyue and I are together in the future, we should buy a house of our own. I'll save this money for now..."
