Rebirth from the Ashes-Chapter 769 - Doctors Don’t Treat Themselves

Shen Xi smiled at Li Yuan. “Brother, we should work on it since Lil’ Zhen and Guoguo really want a younger sibling.” Li Yuan cleared his throat and dotingly nodded with a smile.

The conversation saw Uncle Li walking on air. He was already making plans in his head to do his homework for the baby. That night, Lu Zhen and Lu Guoguo stayed over at Li Mansion.

The children might be young, but they had learned to sleep on separate beds. They each had a cot to themselves in the same room. They stuck to the routine and went straight to bed after a shower.

They were independent during bath time too.

Shen Xi helped Lu Guoguo in the bathroom.

oom.

Li Yuan watched Lu Zhen take a shower.

Shen Xi waited until the kids dozed off before turning off the lights and leaving two nightlights on. She tiptoed out of the bedroom and left the door ajar.

With Shen Xi emerging out of the room, Uncle Li beckoned her over and whispered, “I left some soup for you and Young Master. Go and help yourself.”

Shen Xi nodded and glanced at the study. The door to the study was cracked open a little to let a streak of light shine through. She could hear the man talking inside. He seemed to be in a meeting

Uncle Li told the kitchen to bring over the soup and handed it to Shen Xi. He gleefully watched her carry the bowl into the study.

The young master had not been in the best of health. It took a toll on his body after he lost function in his legs. It had not been two months since he got better, so the young master had better boost his health if he wanted to have children.

Bringing the soup over, Shen Xi gazed at him and murmured, “Brother, take this.” She was feeling hungry now that it was past ten o’clock. Glancing at the soup, she contemplated whether to ask Uncle Li for two bowls of rice.

The soup was not enough to fill her tummy. It was all water weight that could be lost after a trip to the loo.

Li Yuan had already ended the meeting and shut his laptop when his fair lady entered the room. He reached out to grab the bowl of soup as the girl took a seat beside him.

The soup tasted bland but had a unique aroma. It was refreshing, fragrant, and appetizing. Chicken wings and thighs were part of the ingredients, but the soup did not smell like the typical chicken soup.

Li Yuan first sampled the food for the degree of seasoning and heat before blowing on each spoonful to feed to the girl.

Shen Xi poked his cheeks and uttered sweetly, “Brother, have some too.”

Taking one spoonful in turns, Li Yuan and Shen Xi soon finished the bowl of soup.

Li Yuan picked up a chicken leg and fed it to the girl. He also took a bite after his fair lady urged him to.

The soup, chicken leg, and chicken wings were quickly eaten up by the couple.

Uncle Li was grinning from ear to ear when he came in to clear the dirty dish. He told them, “Young Master, Madam, it’s late. You should get some early rest.”

Shen Xi had a strange feeling from Uncle Li. The latter was smiling as though he had a secret. Before she could get a second look, Uncle Li had already left the room.

Something did not feel right as she lay in bed after a shower. Her body was kicking up a temperature as if her blood reached boiling point. She breathed heavily and her throat was dry.

As a doctor, she knew what these symptoms meant. It was no ordinary soup Uncle Li gave them. It was a revitalizing soup.

Li Yuan felt the same. The irregularities in his body kicked in earlier than Shen Xi, not too long after he consumed the soup. The hot shower Shen Xi took enhanced blood circulation and intensified the feeling.

Li Yuan showered in cold water and came out in a white robe, oozing with cold vapor. With his face crimson, he did not dare to look at the girl. He gruffly said, “Let’s sleep in separate rooms today.” He would not be able to resist her.

How was he supposed to hold himself back in the presence of his fair lady?

Lying in bed, the girl hid under the sheets. It was not known whether she heard him because she did not make a peep.

Li Yuan took a glance at her with concern. The girl’s inviting scent tickled his nostril into his heart before he could go over. He was about to lose it. Pushing back the stir in his core, Li Yuan turned on his heel to escape the scene.

He had made it to the door when the girl’s tantalizing voice was heard.

“Brother, I’m hot.”

All it took was one sentence.

Feeling the rush to his head, Li Yuan could not hide the huskiness in his voice and the mad desire in his usually still eyes. He took two steps forward while trying to keep it together. “You’re a doctor. You can find a way. What do you need? I’ll get Uncle Li on it.”

“Doctors don’t treat themselves.” Shen Xi lifted the covers a little to reveal her flushed face. Her sultry voice could make anyone weak in the knees.

Li Yuan closed his eyes, not to look and think about her, but all he could see in his mind was her. “I’ll get a doctor.”

“Brother.” Shen Xi cried before abruptly lifting the sheets.

Li Yuan had a full view of the shade of bare skin the moment the sheets were pulled open. The last shred of his sanity was burned to ashes in that instant.

The raw tension in the room rose rapidly, sparking a burst of passion.

The night was long. Tonight belonged to them. It was the most beautiful and unforgettable night.

The first ray of the morning shone through the cracks between curtains.

Shen Xi felt as though she was hit by a bus, feeling sore all over. Her body could fall apart.

Lying on his side, Li Yuan propped his chin against his arm as he watched the girl open her eyes. Heartache, love, and remorse were written all over his eyes. His voice was raspy but sultry. “Does it still hurt there?”

Last night, it hit him that he went overboard after the act. The girl was covered in bruises. He felt so sorry he could kill himself. Shen Xi was out cold the whole time Li Yuan bathed her and applied the medication to her. Since then, Li Yuan kept awake and watched her until she woke up.

Looking at the man, Shen Xi snuffled and welled up in the eyes. “It hurts everywhere.”

“I’m sorry.” Li Yuan wanted to hold her but was scared he might hurt her.

Shen Xi reached out to hug him and snuggled in his embrace. “You men say one thing and do another. You must be a wolf, I believe.”

He had endless stamina. “Yeah.” Li Yuan murmured while resting his chin on her head. He sniffed her mesmerizing scent and uttered gruffly, “I’ve been hungry for twenty-four years.”

That feeling of ecstasy got him hooked and drove him to the edge. He simply had no control. This was the person he loved with his life!
