Huang Sansan hesitated. She was only left with her undergarments, and she knew how much that could tempt a man. She was genuinely worried that if she lay down, Li Se might not be able to control himself. She then looked at Li Se with her beautiful eyes.
Li Se's expression was calm, his eyes as placid as a lake. In reality, this was just his outward appearance. Inside, he kept telling himself, "I am a doctor, I am a doctor..."
Seeing Li Se's expression, Huang Sansan finally breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the bed. She whispered, "Be gentle..."
"Uh..." The lust Li Se had finally suppressed was reignited by this woman in just a few moments. And when she said this, Huang Sansan's face was flushed with shyness, as it was the first time she had been naked in front of a man.
Moreover, this was only the third time she had actually met this man.
About ten minutes later, Li Se emerged from the room, letting out a long sigh. He had nearly "perished" there.
"How could you..." Old Huang, who had just come out to use the restroom, saw Li Se coming out of his granddaughter's room. He seemed to understand something and burst into laughter, "Oh my, I never would have imagined! You're quite something. My granddaughter has never even dated anyone, and she dislikes men. I never thought you'd win her over so quickly."
"Old Huang, I..." Li Se wanted to explain.
"What 'Old Huang'?" Old Huang shot Li Se a look and corrected him, "Call me Grandpa."
"Grandpa, it's not what you think." Huang Sansan had already put on her clothes and walked out, her pretty face still flushed. "Li Se was treating me."
"Oh, so that's how it is." Old Huang felt a bit disappointed. He was genuinely pleased with Li Se— handsome, skilled in medicine, and neither arrogant nor impatient. It would have been perfect if he could have become his grandson-in-law. It was a shame.
Seeing his grandfather's expression, Huang Sansan knew exactly what he was thinking and felt a bit helpless.
Li Se also smiled helplessly, then wrote out a prescription. After handing it to Huang Sansan, he left directly. On his way back, he packed some dishes from a large restaurant to bring home for his mother.
The next day.
Chen Bin drove over early in the morning. He also brought a few small items processed from the imperial green jade. His expression was somewhat excited. After meeting Li Se, he quickly said, "Li Se, these are the processed items. There are eight small pieces in total. I made five for you, and I want to keep the remaining three for myself, hehe."
Li Se understood his intention. He then chanted a spell over each of the eight small items and handed three to Chen Bin, saying, "You must wear them. This imperial green is quite durable and can protect you from at least three major accidents."
"Okay!" Chen Bin carefully put them away. He looked at Li Se in disbelief and said, "I often saw reclusive masters on TV before. Li Se, are you a reclusive master?"
"I'm not," Li Se said with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. "I just learned some mystical arts from a master."
Chen Bin didn't believe him. He practically regarded Li Se as a god now. He then grabbed Li Se and pulled him towards his car, "Let's go, my dad wants to treat you to a meal."
Li Se was taken aback. "Uncle Chen wants to treat me to a meal?"
Chen Bin said, "You helped our family acquire the imperial green and ice-type jade, so of course, my dad has to thank you properly. You might not know this, but someone like Hong Zhi Xue, their family has only had one piece of imperial green in all these years, and it's only the size of a glass ball."
Li Se nodded and left in Chen Bin's car. He had met Chen Bin's father several years ago. He was a very shrewd businessman and had taken very good care of him back then. In the blink of an eye, several years had passed.
Upon seeing Li Se, Chen Bin's father, Chen Yongyan, was very enthusiastic. He quickly asked his wife to cut some fruit and ushered Li Se into the living room. He sat down and said with a smile, "Li Se, long time no see!"
"Uncle Chen, long time no see. I received a lot of care from you back then." Li Se exchanged pleasantries with Chen Yongyan for a while.
"Did Bin'er mention that acquiring the imperial green and ice-type jade in our shop this time is all thanks to you?" Chen Yongyan looked at Li Se with great gratitude. "You're truly young and promising. To be such a master of stone gambling at this age, have you considered helping us? Don't worry, the compensation won't be small."
Chen Bin quickly interjected, "Dad, Li Se isn't short of money anymore. Please don't trouble him."
"Haha, I was too abrupt." Chen Yongyan chuckled.
Li Se didn't mind too much and said with a smile, "Uncle Chen, if I have time, I'll help."
At this moment, Chen Bin's mother, He Hong, brought out the fruit. Just as she was about to say something, the doorbell rang. She said, "I'll get the door."
Li Se didn't pay attention to who had arrived. After observing Chen Yongyan for a while, he said, "Uncle Chen, have you been feeling a bit unwell with your breathing recently, and have things been going smoothly for you in everything you do?"
"How did you know?" Chen Yongyan looked at Li Se with some surprise, then glanced at his son.
Chen Bin shrugged, indicating he hadn't said anything.
"Uncle Chen, I'm still a doctor," Li Se smiled and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, about half a month ago, did someone die in your processing factory?"
"You know about this too?" Chen Yongyan was truly shocked this time. He was absolutely certain that his son would never have mentioned this. After all, someone dying in the factory was a very ominous event, and they had paid a considerable amount of compensation because of it.
Li Se glanced at Chen Bin and pondered for a moment before saying, "Actually, when I met Chen Bin, I felt something was off about him, but I couldn't quite pinpoint it. Today, after seeing you, I know the reason. Uncle Chen, I suggest you move the factory. That's the best course of action."
Chen Yongyan frowned, "Are you saying that person's spirit is lingering?"
"Yes," Li Se nodded. "That person was quite special. If it were a mere accident, I doubt he would still be lingering around unwilling to leave. This indicates that the accident was perhaps not entirely accidental. I suggest you move the factory, otherwise, things will only get more unlucky."
Chen Yongyan hesitated. That accident was indeed an accident that wasn't entirely accidental. It was because he had severely criticized the person, who then acted recklessly in anger. If it weren't for his words, such a thing wouldn't have happened.
"Nonsense!"
Just then, the person who had rung the doorbell appeared. It was an old man with a white beard, looking profoundly wise. He stared at Li Se with disdain, "Young man, if you don't understand, don't speak carelessly. Mr. Chen's lack of smooth sailing is due to a problem with his luck. It is indeed related to that accident, but there's no need to move!"
