“Are you sure?”
Chen Jiang’s voice had become a little hoarse.
His patience had reached its limit.
“It’s not too late to leave now.”
Jiang Yutong bit her red lip.
“Do I seem like the kind of person who goes back on her word?”
“I always…
do what I say!”
“Fine.” Since she’d put it like that, Chen Jiang didn’t hesitate any longer.
‘The girl’s being so forward.
I’m a grown man, what the hell is there to be afraid of?’
He pressed his body against hers…
Jiang Yutong felt as if she were being enveloped by a large furnace.
The scorching heat from Chen Jiang’s body transferred clearly to hers.
Her breathing began to quicken.
Her heart was beating fast.
Trembling, she closed her eyes…
Chen Jiang kissed her.
Jiang Yutong responded clumsily at first, but gradually, her hands wrapped around Chen Jiang’s neck.
Chen Jiang’s hands naturally began to wander upward.
Just then, a groggy voice came from outside the door.
“Sis, are you in there?”
It was Jiang Yuning’s voice.
The two of them jumped and immediately separated.
Jiang Yutong practically launched herself off the bed.
She frantically straightened her clothes.
“Huh?
Why did you guys lock the door from the inside?” Jiang Yuning’s voice came again.
Jiang Yutong forced herself to calm down, then walked to the door and opened it.
Jiang Yuning stood prettily outside the door, her eyes peeking inside.
Her gaze then fell upon Jiang Yutong.
At that moment, Jiang Yutong’s face was still tinged with a faint blush.
Jiang Yutong feigned composure.
“What are you doing here?”
“I woke up and didn’t see you, so I came to check if you were here.” Jiang Yuning asked mischievously, “You two weren’t doing something indecent in here, were you?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Having been exposed, Jiang Yutong shot Jiang Yuning a look of feigned anger.
“You’re so young, why is your head always filled with such dirty thoughts?!”
“You’re only a few minutes older than me!” Jiang Yuning pouted, dissatisfied.
‘This sister of hers was only born a few minutes earlier, yet she always acted like a grown-up and treated her like a child.’
Chen Jiang said, “Yutong, weren’t you looking for something just now?
You should find it quickly and go back.
It’s getting late.
See, you’ve even woken up your sister.”
Only then did Jiang Yutong snap back to reality.
She quickly said, “I’ll look for it tomorrow.”
Jiang Yuning asked again, “Sis, what are you looking for in the middle of the night?
Why didn’t you even turn on the lights?
Want me to help you look?”
Thinking fast, Jiang Yutong quickly covered her sister’s mouth.
“Stop talking!
This is so embarrassing!”
She whispered in Jiang Yuning’s ear, “It’s…
it’s one of those private things.
I forgot to take it with me and was afraid he’d find it, so I rushed over to get it.”
“Now that you’ve made such a scene, Chen Jiang is definitely going to pay attention to it.
How am I supposed to face him anymore?”
“A private thing?” Jiang Yuning’s eyes widened.
“Don’t tell me it’s…”
“Shh!” Jiang Yutong covered her mouth again.
“Don’t say it.”
With that, she glanced back at Chen Jiang.
“I’ll come back for my things tomorrow.
Don’t you go rummaging through them.”
After saying that, she quickly pulled Jiang Yuning away.
After the door was closed, Chen Jiang felt a little frustrated.
‘That Jiang Yuning, her timing couldn’t have been worse…’
‘Everything was ready to go, but she just had to stick her nose in.
It’s a kind of frustration only a man can understand.’
He couldn’t help but think of what Jiang Yutong had left for him yesterday…
In the end, however, he just shook his head.
‘What’s the use of that thing?’
‘If I’m going to do it, I want the real deal!’
He had to regulate his breathing for a long time before he could calm himself down enough to sleep.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yutong was also tossing and turning, her face still burning hot.
‘I can’t believe I got caught by Jiang Yuning.’
‘Luckily, that girl is pretty naive and easy to fool.
Otherwise, I would have been utterly mortified tonight.’
Recalling the moment Chen Jiang had her pinned beneath him, her heart began to beat even faster…
「The next morning.」
Chen Jiang got out of bed.
Xu Muya had already prepared breakfast for them.
After eating, Chen Jiang went with Xu Muya to Shangyi Hall as usual.
The car was filled with the faint, feminine fragrance from Xu Muya, which refreshed Chen Jiang’s spirit.
He found this scent intoxicating.
A big reason he’d lost control last night was that Jiang Yutong was very similar to Xu Muya…
It was just that one was young, aloofly beautiful, and full of vigor, while the other was mature, glamorous, and possessed a captivating charm in her every move.
By comparison, Chen Jiang still felt that Xu Muya was more charming.
The kind of charm that had been refined over the years was something a young girl simply didn’t possess.
‘Besides, Mrs.
Xu is so gentle…’
As soon as he arrived at Shangyi Hall, Chen Jiang saw two young women sitting inside.
It was Ling Qingyue and Lu Ziyan.
The moment she saw Chen Jiang arrive, Ling Qingyue immediately stood up and strode over to him in her high heels.
“Little Divine Doctor, you’re finally here!”
Chen Jiang just gave her a cool glance.
“It seems you went to the hospital to get your problem checked out?”
Ling Qingyue took a deep breath.
“I went for a check-up.
And sure enough…
it was exactly as you said, Little Divine Doctor.
I’m here to apologize for my reckless behavior yesterday.”
“Little Divine Doctor, you said before that you could cure me without…
having it removed.
Is that true?” Ling Qingyue’s voice was filled with urgency and worry.
“No matter how much it costs, I’ll pay you.
As long as you can make me well again…”
She had gone to the hospital for a chest scan first thing yesterday, and it had indeed revealed a malignant tumor in her breast.
The doctor said that removal was the only possible way to be cured…
But how could a girl in her twenties accept having a part of her body she was so proud of cut off?
‘Wouldn’t that make me a monster?’
In her utter despair, she ultimately chose to put her faith in Chen Jiang one last time.
Chen Jiang said calmly, “Yours is only in the Early Stage right now.
It hasn’t spread to other areas, so resolving it won’t be difficult.
It just depends on whether you’re willing to cooperate.”
Ling Qingyue bit her red lip.
“No matter what, I’m willing to cooperate with the treatment!”
Chen Jiang said, “Come inside with me.
I’ll give you a Tui Na massage.”
“A Tui…
Tui Na massage?”
Ling Qingyue froze.
‘Doesn’t that mean Chen Jiang will see everything?
And he’ll also have to…’
Seeing her hesitation, Chen Jiang said coolly, “If you find it too embarrassing, then forget it.
After all, I’m not the one who’s sick.”
