Stop joking.
He didn’t believe it.
It must be that woman playing out a wounded gambit on purpose.
Yet, this news makes Kang Chen’s already displeased mood even more irritable.
He felt that the scent from those two women was almost suffocating him, agitating him to the point of murderous thoughts.
Kang Chen said impatiently, “I’m not a doctor.
Don’t come to me.”
Huo Er replied honestly, “The young madam’s illness has come on fiercely.
The housekeeper says it’s somewhat dangerous, so…”
Kang Chen fell silent.
He hesitated.
Judging from Ming Mei’s previous behavior, if he went back now, she would definitely stir up trouble.
Suddenly, there was a prick on his neck, like being stabbed with a needle tip, causing Kang Chen to snap to attention.
Only then did he realize that one of the women had already begun unfastening the buttons on his clothes.
“Get the hell out.” A murderous glint flashed through Kang Chen’s eyes.
His outrageously handsome face was in an instant imbued with a chilling aura of death.
Before the two women could comprehend what was happening, they had already been tossed onto the ground.
Shocked and in pain, they gasped, their tear-filled eyes timidly whined, “Mr.
Chen…”
They had been trained well, their bodies easily aroused.
Being in the presence of a man like Chen Kang, a prime bachelor, they had long been overwhelmed by their feelings.
Kang Chen stood up, giving them a disgusted look.
The two women were frightened to the point of shivering.
For that moment, they felt as if a sharp knife was held against their necks, threatening to slit their throats at any moment.
Neither dared to utter another word.
The room’s door opened, and Kang Chen walked out.
Seeing the two naked women lying on the ground in the room, Huo Er automatically lowered his head to ignore them.
In his heart, Huo Er didn’t have a good image of the young madam.
Not because she had taken advantage of the marshal to marry Mr.
Chen, but because she was too venomous.
Huo Er had never seen a woman like the young madam — gentle and kind to your face, but turn around and she could take your life.
Over the past two years, the young madam had tried every trick in the book yet she had failed to catch Mr.
Chen’s attention.
On the contrary, she had cruelly killed off quite a few women who tried to approach Mr.
Chen.
Those methods were enough to make a seasoned soldier like him shudder.
Therefore, Huo Er felt that Mr.
Chen’s hatred for the young madam was understandable.
After all, there must be something loathsome about a pitiable person.
Kang Chen slowly buttoned up the glistening golden buttons on his military uniform, and stretched out his hand to Huo Er.
Huo Er hurriedly handed him a clean, white handkerchief.
Kang Chen grabbed the handkerchief and rubbed it harshly against his hand and neck, not bothering to conceal his disheveled and nauseous expression.
Kang Chen casually threw the soiled handkerchief aside.
Huo Er did not dare to speak, just followed him out.
…
Upon his return to the Kang household, all the servants came out to greet Kang Chen, as if they were welcoming the return of an emperor to his palace.
Kang Chen strides past the trembling servants, and directly ascends the stairs.
His tall and slender figure, his devilishly handsome face, makes all the maidens blush, unable to resist chasing his departing figure with their eyes.
With a creak, Kang Chen pushed open the door to his room.
An overpowering scent of medicine filled his nostrils, making him grimace in disgust.
He glanced at the frail girl on the bed out of charity.
Her face was flushed, breaking out in sweat, her brows were furrowed as if she were in great pain.
Despite her condition, she somehow still gave off a vibe that one would want to go to all lengths to protect her and ease her pain.
Kang Chen sneered.
Ming Mei was always good at giving people this illusion.
But inside, she was more ruthless than anyone else.
Suddenly, he remembered when he saw Ming Mei earlier that day, her eyes were clear and bright unlike before.
