Chapter 146: Chapter 147

Chapter 147 No Intention of Getting Engaged Emily returned to the private room with a normal expression. “Mommy, you’re back!” The two little fellows hurriedly called out when they saw Emily. “Hurry up and eat,” Emily chuckled. The two little guys didn’t eat much, and soon they were full. “Since you’re full and it’s about time, I’ll send you back.” Lu Shizhou stood up and said to Emily. “Okay,” Emily said softly. There were so many toys behind Lu Shizhou that one person could not take at all. The two little guys carried one in each hand, and Emily took a lot more, leaving the rest to Lu Shizhou.

Looking at their posture, those who did not know would think that they were the boss of a toy store.

Emily could not help but say, “Don’t buy so many next time. It’s so troublesome.” Accepting it was one thing, but taking it back was another. It was really troublesome! “That won’t do. How can that be troublesome when I send gifts to the little cutie pies?” Lu Shizhou raised his eyebrows.

“Okay, then carry them all by yourself next time. Don’t let me help out!” Emily laughed.

“That won’t do!”

After a while, Lu Shizhou drove them home. Originally, she wanted to keep Lu Shizhou for a seat, but he said that he had something to do, so she had to give up. In the room, Emily sat on the bed and recalled what had happened tonight. After thinking for a while, she decided to call Lucas. Soon, the man’s voice sounded on the other side of the line. “Doctor Armstrong, what’s wrong?” Emily pursed her lips, wanting to say something but hesitating. “That, Mr. Greens...” Hearing Emily’s words, Lucas directly said, “Doctor Armstrong, if you have something to say, just say it.”

“Actually, I want to ask if you and Miss Smith plan to get married?” Emily nodded. This question stunned Lucas.

“What do you mean?”

He was a little confused. Emily hurriedly explained, as if she was afraid that the man would misunderstand. “Nothing much, I just want to clarify this point. If so, I think there is some misunderstanding between Miss Smith and us.” Hearing this, Lucas quickly understood. He caught the key information in her words, and his eyes turned cold. He frowned. “What’s wrong? Did Chase find trouble with you?” At the mention of this, Lucas’ face also became a little ugly. Emily shook her head, “No, it’s just that we met by chance and exchanged a few words.”

She was not a person who liked to gossip, so she was not willing to say more about this matter.

As for the content of the conversation between the two, Emily only introduced it lightly.

“Miss Smith seems to care a lot about the relationship between the two of us... hence my inquiry. If there’s some misunderstanding, it’s better to explain it clearly.”

She didn’t want to say anything bad behind Chase’s back, and she was even more unwilling to cause trouble for herself. If she was targeted by Chase because of this matter, she would only feel pestered. Lucas shook his head and said, “It doesn’t matter.

There is nothing between her and me in the first place. Moreover, our two families have no intention of even getting engaged.”

“Just be as usual. You don’t have to worry about it.”

His words directly cut off all ties with Chase. He originally did not have a good impression of this woman. Now, Chase had been interfering with his life time and time again, and she had touched his bottom line. This caused Lucas to be unable to bear it any longer. It was absolutely impossible for such a woman to become his fiancee. Emily hesitated and said, “But today, I see that Miss Smith’s meaning is very clear. In the future, if...” Without waiting for Emily to finish speaking, Lucas interrupted her. “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of the rest. You don’t have to worry.”

Hearing this, Emily nodded.

“Alright.”

No matter what their relationship was, no matter whether they were engaged or married. As long as it didn’t involve her, it was fine. “By the way, I added a few new medicinal herbs for you yesterday. After drinking it, how do you feel recently?”

Yesterday, she left in a hurry and did not have the time to ask Lucas about the medicinal effect. Lucas nodded and explained in detail. “When I just ate it, it was no different from usual. But gradually, after a few minutes, my whole body felt warm, especially my dantian (T/N: The concept of dantian, or field of elixir, has roots in Taoist and Buddhist traditions and is believed to be related to higher states of consciousness). It feels hot, and I sweat more than usual when I sleep at night...” At this, Emily nodded as she recorded.

“Yes, then there is no side effect. When you sweat at night, it will force out the moisture in your body. It is a normal phenomenon.

It doesn’t matter.” “Continue taking it. I will continue to adjust the medicine combination for you later. If there is anything strange or uncomfortable, tell me immediately.” “Okay.” Lucas nodded.
