Chapter 36: Chapter 36: You Can Sleep Here Tonight
After the light touch, Yang Xiaofei merely shivered but otherwise showed no reaction.
Wang Chenning immediately touched her again.
When Yang Xiaofei still didn’t react, Wang Chenning’s touch became a little bolder.
After a bit of teasing from Wang Chenning, Yang Xiaofei finally snapped. She shot up into a sitting position. "Are you getting revenge on me on purpose?"
’This annoying man... always so hot and cold. It’s unbearable!’
"What do you mean?" Wang Chenning frowned at Yang Xiaofei. "Aren’t you afraid of an accident? Let me remind you, I can’t have any unexpected interruptions during acupuncture, or things can go wrong very easily!"
Yang Xiaofei saw where Wang Chenning’s eyes landed. Although he quickly looked away, she knew what he had been looking at and couldn’t help but feel a flash of embarrassed anger.
’Thank goodness for the protective coverings, or else...’
"I told you last time that acupuncture involves touching many private areas. If you’re not comfortable with it, you should have said so earlier!" Wang Chenning wouldn’t admit he was secretly getting revenge for the life of him.
He blamed Yang Xiaofei without batting an eye, his gaze never wavering.
Yang Xiaofei was suddenly at a loss for words. Wang Chenning hadn’t really done anything out of line, but her woman’s intuition told her that this guy was definitely getting back at her on purpose.
"Whether you accept future treatments or not, the one in progress must continue!" Wang Chenning ordered Yang Xiaofei. "Lie down now, and don’t talk!"
Yang Xiaofei shot Wang Chenning an indignant glare but ultimately lay back down.
’She couldn’t find the words to describe the embarrassment she felt.’
’She also wondered why she had suddenly been so impulsive.’
’From now on, she felt like she wouldn’t be able to face him.’
Wang Chenning resumed the acupuncture. As he inserted the needles, he said, "I just told you, the acupoints I need to work on include the Feiyu and Fengmen points on your thoracic spine, the Yuji point on the palm of your hand, the Kongzui point on your arm, as well as the Shanzhong and Qihai points on your chest and abdomen. I’m sure you can already feel the effects. If you insult my medical skills and ethics again, I wouldn’t help you next time even if you got on your knees and begged!"
Yang Xiaofei shot him an irritated glare, then simply closed her eyes and ignored him.
When the acupuncture session was over, Wang Chenning plopped onto the floor. Wiping away his sweat, he grunted wearily, "That took everything out of me!"
Yang Xiaofei opened her eyes and saw Wang Chenning sitting on the floor, his forehead drenched in sweat and his clothes soaked through.
She, on the other hand, felt a sense of clarity throughout her entire body. It was incredibly comfortable.
The warm current that had started with Wang Chenning’s needles was still lazily flowing through her body, leaving her feeling somewhat intoxicated.
Suddenly, she felt a little embarrassed.
"I’m sorry," she apologized to Wang Chenning. "I’ve never been in this kind of contact with a man before, so I was very nervous."
Wang Chenning gave Yang Xiaofei a slightly sarcastic look. "If you’ve never had this kind of contact with a man, why didn’t you have your assistant stay with you? What game are you playing?"
"I didn’t want her to see something she shouldn’t," Yang Xiaofei closed her eyes again. "If you wanted to force me to do something, what difference would it make if she were here or not? I’m sure those bodyguards I have outside are no match for you either."
Although Yang Xiaofei had sent Lv Qinglan away, she hadn’t dismissed her personal bodyguards.
Lv Qinglan was, in fact, one of her bodyguards and quite skilled. She also had two others who posed as secretaries, one man and one woman.
Yang Xiaofei’s villa had side rooms specifically for her bodyguards to rest in.
Unless Yang Xiaofei summoned them or something unexpected happened, the bodyguards would not make an appearance.
"Let me make things clear with you today. If we’re going to continue with these treatments, there will be even more contact between us. I know your allergies have led to mild asthma. If you want to eliminate the asthma completely, treatment of the lung region is essential. I’m sure you understand what I’m trying to say." Wang Chenning glanced at Yang Xiaofei before continuing, "Also, I’ve noticed that the meridians in your lower abdomen aren’t flowing smoothly. You probably experience frequent lower back pain, a dragging sensation in your lower abdomen, and various discomforts during your period. If you need it, I can help you eliminate those problems as well. But if you’d rather ignore your health issues out of modesty, then just pretend I never said anything."
Yang Xiaofei fell silent. Wang Chenning was exactly right; she had all of those symptoms.
She was quite impressed that Wang Chenning knew all this just from his own observations and by taking her pulse, without even having to ask.
’If I became friends with a doctor like this, I’d have no privacy at all!’ A sense of fear crept into her heart, but it was mixed with curiosity. "You’re so young. How did your medical skills get so good?"
"It’s like how you’re in charge of a Fortune 500 company at such a young age. Every field has its geniuses," Wang Chenning replied as he gathered his needles. "If you need to continue treatment, we’ll have to do another session in two days at the most."
"But I have a business trip tomorrow afternoon!" Perhaps because of their close proximity and the recent physical contact, Yang Xiaofei’s feeling of unfamiliarity with Wang Chenning had almost vanished. She was no longer giving him the cold shoulder like when they first met, and her voice was tinged with emotion. "I’m going to Europe for at least two weeks. I was supposed to leave a couple of days ago, but I was delayed by my grandfather’s condition."
"Then let’s do the treatment tomorrow morning," Wang Chenning said after a moment’s thought, then frowned. "I have two classes tomorrow morning, from nine to eleven. How about noon?"
"Noon is too late. My flight is at two in the afternoon, so I have to leave by twelve-thirty for sure."
"Then before I go to class," Wang Chenning said, having already packed his things. "I’m heading back now. You should take a shower and get some sleep. Have someone pick me up at six tomorrow morning."
"Why don’t you just sleep here tonight? There are plenty of rooms, anyway," Yang Xiaofei said calmly. "It’ll save you the trouble of running back and forth."
Wang Chenning studied Yang Xiaofei for a few moments. In the end, he didn’t ask any more questions and just nodded. "Alright, then. I’m pretty tired. I just want to take a shower and sleep."
’Since we’re both acting, let’s see who puts on the better show!’
The two of them said nothing more. As instructed by Yang Xiaofei, Wang Chenning went to a guest room to rest.
He first went to take a shower.
Unexpectedly, when he came out of the shower, he found a fresh change of clothes laid out on the bed.
’Yang Xiaofei must have prepared them for him.’
Seeing that Yang Xiaofei had prepared a full change of clothes for him, including undergarments, a strange smile touched the corners of Wang Chenning’s mouth.
He didn’t ask any questions, just crashed on the bed and slept soundly until dawn.
The next morning, he was jolted awake by a man’s voice.
"Sis, you’re not up yet? Don’t you always get up early? I came to talk to you about something important. Did you hear what happened last night?"
Roused from a deep sleep, Wang Chenning felt a surge of annoyance. He threw on some clothes, walked out of the room, and barked irritably, "Who is it? Who’s making all this noise so early in the morning?!"
