Chapter 464 Unfulfilled
Gao Qiu had been waiting outside the gate for quite a while. When he saw Lin Wanrong coming out in high spirits, he hurriedly approached, inspecting Lin San's forehead. His face immediately turned into a look of shock. "Brother Lin, what happened to you? Were there assassins in the mansion? How did you get such a serious injury?"
Lin Wanrong had been too elated to think about it earlier. Only when Gao Qiu mentioned it did he suddenly feel a burning pain on his forehead. He touched it with his hand and found a large bump forming. "It's nothing serious," he grimaced. "It's just that the rockery in the Xu Mansion walked into me without looking. Brother Gao, can you check if it's serious? Will it affect my handsome face? Damn it, my livelihood depends on this face."
Gao Qiu burst into hearty laughter, waving his hand dismissively, "It's no big deal. As long as it didn't hit your mouth, it won't hinder you from eating or flirting with girls."
"Look who's talking," Lin Wanrong rolled his eyes, unimpressed. "I earn my meals and woo women with real skills, not just smooth talk."
Gao Qiu rummaged through his pouch, revealing various small bottles and jars. Lin Wanrong, with keen eyes, noticed several famous miracle cures among them, like the "Arhat's Mighty Stick" and "Immortal's Undressing Elixir". He whistled admiringly, "Brother Gao, you really live up to your reputation. With all these miraculous medicines you carry, you won't use them up in ten lifetimes. The chivalrous women out there are truly lucky."
Seeing Lin Wanrong's lecherous grin, and recalling their last run-in in scamming Young Master Tao on their way from Hangzhou, Gao Qiu felt a bit apprehensive. He quickly put away his treasures, chuckling awkwardly, "What are you talking about? When it comes to women I'm fond of, it's all about building emotional connections, with medicines as a supplement, a supplement—"
‘What a supplement! How can you even say that? How did I end up befriending a scoundrel like you? One with character, just like me!’ Lin Wanrong laughed heartily, slapping Gao Qiu on the shoulder, suddenly feeling a sense of camaraderie.
After some searching, Gao Qiu took out a bottle of bruise ointment and carefully applied it to Lin Wanrong's forehead. Then, grinning slyly, he asked, "So, how did things go? Judging by your cheerful demeanor, did you succeed? Miss Xu is a renowned icy beauty in the capital, both aloof and educated. I didn’t think you'd be the one to win her over. Let me congratulate you in advance!"
