The Wild Doctor and the Fair Beauty
Chapter 302: No Problem, Smoke and Drink All You Want, It Won’t Affect Your Health Anyway
Inside the room.
Without needing Jiang Xinghai to say anything, Ye Zhiqiu followed the usual procedure for her acupuncture and bared her flat abdomen.
Jiang Xinghai conducted himself professionally, never crossing any lines during the procedure.
Several times, Ye Zhiqiu looked as if she wanted to speak but stopped herself, ultimately remaining silent.
「Ten minutes later.」
"Miss Ye, this concludes the three treatment sessions. Make sure to stay warm for a week, and the uterine coldness will be completely cured," Jiang Xinghai advised as he finished up, explaining the aftercare to Ye Zhiqiu.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, is this your real personality? Why are you being so cold and stern?" Ye Zhiqiu finally asked what was on her mind.
"This is my real personality," Jiang Xinghai said, flashing his signature smile.
Ye Zhiqiu smiled gracefully. "My apologies, Divine Doctor Jiang. It was impolite of me."
"You’re thinking too much, Miss Ye. I’m in a real hurry today, so I had to stay focused to save time. I’ll be taking my leave now." Jiang Xinghai packed his things and turned to go.
Ye Zhiqiu quickly straightened her clothes and went downstairs, but Jiang Xinghai had already walked out the main door.
"Divine Doctor Jiang, you’ve treated both me and Sister Hong, but we haven’t paid you. That doesn’t seem right, does it?" Ye Zhiqiu asked.
Mi Hong nodded as well. "That’s right. For my condition alone, I would have needed surgery at a hospital, and Zhiqiu’s uterine coldness is a chronic illness..."
Jiang Xinghai just gave a faint smirk and rode off on his bike.
Mi Hong, on the other hand, didn’t feel particularly indebted to Jiang Xinghai. After all, the two of them had already taken that step.
Ye Zhiqiu, however, hated owing people favors more than anything.
Especially today, after being so thoroughly embarrassed by that high-tech product, she felt she could hardly face anyone.
「Ten minutes later.」
The Shen Residence.
Jiang Xinghai had rushed all the way over, arriving with just five minutes to spare before dinner at seven p.m.
"Hurry and come in."
Shen Lingxue, who had been pacing in the small courtyard lost in thought, turned to look at Jiang Xinghai.
"Okay," Jiang Xinghai replied with a meaningful smile.
Shen Lingxue, however, felt a little uneasy. Being watched by his intense gaze always made her feel as if she had no secrets left.
’Then again,’ she thought, ’haven’t all my secrets already been laid bare by Jiang Xinghai?’
’First, there was that wild night... seven times...’
’And then later, he helped treat my hemorrhoids...’
"Dad, Mom, Xinghai’s back. Let’s eat."
The memory of these past events made Shen Lingxue blush furiously. She hurried into the kitchen as soon as she was through the door.
"Jiang’s back! Come, have a seat."
Shen Zhengye approached, carrying two bottles of medicinal wine. "Tonight, you and I aren’t stopping until we’re drunk."
"Alright." Jiang Xinghai had no objections.
Soon, a sumptuous feast covered the dining table.
Jiang Xinghai and Shen Zhengye were having a grand time, smoking cigarettes and drinking medicinal wine.
This caused Shen Lingxue’s expression to turn cold, and she deliberately nudged Jiang Xinghai with her elbow.
"Huh? What is it?" Jiang Xinghai asked.
"Nothing. Go on, smoke up, drink up. It’s not like it affects your health," Shen Lingxue retorted, taking a large bite of food without looking at him.
Her words left Jiang Xinghai speechless.
"Lingxue, it’s normal for men to have a little smoke and a drink," Shen Zhengye quickly tried to smooth things over.
Qiao Huimin changed the subject. "Jiang, you took Lingyin to Central State University, right? Is everything okay over there? She called this afternoon to let us know she’d arrived safely, but she didn’t say much else."
"Lingyin is doing great, and the campus environment is quite nice," Jiang Xinghai briefly explained.
They all continued eating.
Jiang Xinghai took the opportunity to tell Shen Lingxue that this was his last pack of cigarettes.
As for the medicinal wine, it was a kind gesture from Shen Zhengye, and he couldn’t refuse it.
Besides, thanks to his medical expertise, he could expel any substances from his body that might be harmful to future offspring, like nicotine and alcohol.
Only after receiving Jiang Xinghai’s assurance did Shen Lingxue stop making sarcastic comments.
She had no other demands; she just wanted their future baby to be healthy.
"Jiang, this medicinal wine has a kick to it. You should get some rest soon after you finish," Shen Zhengye said, patting Jiang Xinghai’s shoulder.
Jiang Xinghai just smiled without a word and nodded silently.
「After dinner.」
"Dad, Mom, I’m going to bed now." Shen Lingxue drank a glass of water and shot a deliberate glance at Jiang Xinghai.
Jiang Xinghai took the hint and stood up as well. "Uncle, Auntie, I have to be up early tomorrow. AM’s first product is launching, and I need to work on the sales channels, so I’m turning in as well."
"Go on, go on."
Shen Zhengye and Qiao Huimin waved them off with beaming smiles.
On the second floor.
Shen Lingxue paused at her bedroom door to wait for Jiang Xinghai. "Go take a shower in your room first. I’m going to shower, too. Come over in about ten minutes. I’ll leave the door unlocked for you."
After speaking, her face flushed and her heart pounded as she went into her bedroom and closed the door.
Jiang Xinghai really wanted to ask, ’Want to shower together?’
But in the end, he swallowed his words.
’Since Shen Lingxue had uncharacteristically taken the initiative to wait for him, he couldn’t push his luck.’
「Ten minutes later.」
While he showered, Jiang Xinghai took the opportunity to purge the traces of alcohol and nicotine from his system.
Afterward, feeling refreshed and invigorated, he wrapped a towel around his waist and pushed open the door to Shen Lingxue’s bedroom.
Inside the bedroom.
Only a single bedside lamp was lit.
Shen Lingxue was lying on the soft, large bed, covered by a thin blanket.
Although the light was dim, one could still clearly see those proud, Linglong curves, which were absolutely perfect.
