"This... this... is this really Chinese acupuncture and not Western magic?"
Song Xiangyu's expression was one of horror, her eyes wide with disbelief.
Although she constantly wished for a bust like Song Yan's 36D, or at least Song Nuan's A-cup, she had never dared to dream that a simple silver needle would suddenly make her chest grow, plump up, and in mere moments, approach Song Nuan's A-cup.
But just as she was recovering from her overwhelming shock, the silver needle that had been inserted into her chest suddenly fell out as if repelled by some force within her body. The warmth and swelling from the acupuncture also vanished.
In an instant, she burst into tears, sobbing, "Dr. Chen... Dr. Chen, please... please don't stop, give me a few more needles. As long as... as long as you can turn my teacup into a soup bowl, I'll even pledge myself to you!"
As she spoke, she frantically tried to tear at her already revealing bikini, her voice growing more urgent. "You probably think I'm a promiscuous bad woman, don't you? It's not like that! No man has ever touched me, you can try and see."
Chen Xiao was startled. As he retrieved the silver needle, he quickly pulled a blanket over Song Xiangyu, saying with a wry smile, "I don't need to try to know that no other man has touched you. According to my diagnosis, your rare type of mammary gland development stagnation, which modern medicine cannot treat, not only manifests as an incurable flat chest but also includes symptoms like physiological fear of men. Contact with the opposite sex causes you to become agitated and even aggressive. However, healing is not an overnight process; it requires a gradual course of treatment. Even though the 'Swallowing Clouds and Mist' technique I just used had an immediate miraculous effect on your flat chest, we must proceed step by step. It also requires external application of Chinese herbal medicine and traditional Chinese massage to consolidate the effects. Conservatively, it will take about two to three months of treatment for a complete recovery."
"You even diagnosed me with physiological fear of men?"
Song Xiangyu lay stiffly under the blanket, completely dumbfounded. She suddenly realized that Chen Xiao's medical skills far surpassed her imagination.
However, more than being shocked by Chen Xiao's incredible medical prowess, she was clearly more concerned about her own condition. As soon as she finished speaking, she eagerly added, "Dr. Chen, just tell me what Chinese herbs are needed. Our Song family's pharmaceutical company, Da Song Pharmaceuticals, has been in a state of semi-dormancy for years, but as long as it can help me get rid of my flat chest problem, I guarantee I'll have any rare and precious Chinese herbs delivered to you immediately."
Chen Xiao, seeing that he had completely gained the upper hand over the once arrogant Song Xiangyu, felt a surge of pride. Without hesitation, he shook his head and said, "We'll talk about it next time. I have to get back to the hospital for work. But you can prepare the Chinese herbs you'll need."
"But..."
Song Xiangyu was unwilling, but she dared not defy Chen Xiao. After a moment's thought, she nervously took out her phone and prepared to type, saying with trepidation, "Then please tell me what Chinese herbs are needed, and I'll write them down."
Chen Xiao said without hesitation, "Lotus receptacle, papaya, purple yam."
Song Xiangyu's face instantly darkened. She racked her brain but couldn't figure out what kind of concoction these three ordinary and cheap Chinese herbs could create. She couldn't help but suspect she was being tricked, especially since she had insulted Chen Xiao more than once before and was mentally prepared for him to retaliate with humiliation.
"You don't believe me?"
Chen Xiao guessed Song Xiangyu's thoughts and raised an eyebrow slightly, saying, "These three Chinese herbs may seem ordinary, but they can be used to prepare 'Lotus Receptacle Purple Medicine,' which was popular in the Tang Dynasty and lost after the end of the Song Dynasty. According to unofficial historical records, Wu Zetian and Yang Guifei might have used this breast-enhancing divine medicine. As for its effects, you should be able to imagine it by briefly fantasizing about the peerless elegance of these two Tang Dynasty beauties that has been passed down to this day."
With that, he turned and walked towards the door.
"Lotus Receptacle Purple Medicine!"
Song Xiangyu was greatly astonished. Although she knew nothing about medicine, which was why she had let Da Song Pharmaceuticals, which had once dominated the pharmaceutical industry in Juxian City and consistently outperformed Ye family's Jiuding Pharmaceuticals, fall into ruin, she had a deep understanding of related medical knowledge, historical remedies, and even legendary elixirs in her pursuit of breast enhancement. Of course, she knew of Lotus Receptacle Purple Medicine.
However, she never dreamed that Chen Xiao would know how to prepare the legendary Lotus Receptacle Purple Medicine from unofficial historical records.
At this moment, she could no longer care about whether Chen Xiao was playing a trick on her. She quickly threw off the blanket, jumped out of bed, and grabbed Chen Xiao, who was about to leave. "Dr. Chen, shall I drive you?"
She thought to herself that whether or not the three ordinary Chinese herbs Chen Xiao mentioned could create the legendary breast-enhancing divine medicine, the 'Swallowing Clouds and Mist' acupuncture technique he had just used had indeed produced a miraculous effect on her flat chest. This alone was enough for her to try her best to cling to Chen Xiao.
"Alright."
Chen Xiao readily agreed, as it was a free ride. However, looking at Song Xiangyu in her sexy bikini, he felt a bit awkward.
"I... I'll go change now. I promise it won't affect your image at the hospital."
Song Xiangyu noticed Chen Xiao's gaze falling on her chest, which wasn't even an A-cup. She instinctively covered herself, not out of fear of Chen Xiao looking, but out of fear that he would find her small. As she spoke, she quickly slipped into the adjacent dressing room.
Soon, she reappeared in Chen Xiao's sight, having changed into an outfit that was somewhat more modest, at least covering her chest completely. However, her delicate fair arms, flawless beautiful back, and long, slender legs were fully exposed to the air.
Chen Xiao noticed her trembling neckline and couldn't help but say with a wry smile, "How much padding did you stuff in there? What's the point of deceiving yourself?"
Song Xiangyu's face instantly turned crimson. She instinctively lowered her head and sighed deeply, "Of course, I know there's no point in deceiving myself. But the flaw is on my own body. If I don't deceive myself, not only will I not gain others' admiration and make them think I'm as beautiful and well-endowed as Yan Yan, but I'll also attract looks of disdain like yours. Alas..."
After all, she had offended Chen Xiao before and suffered the consequences. Now that she needed his help, she was naturally worried about him being angry. As soon as she finished speaking, she tried to appease him, saying, "But with Dr. Chen's miraculous healing hands, I won't have to deceive myself for much longer!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but lean into Chen Xiao's embrace as if acting spoiled.
It was strange, but despite suffering from physiological fear of men, she showed no symptoms when in close proximity to Chen Xiao. Instead, she couldn't help but try to take advantage of him.
But Chen Xiao was indifferent. He walked downstairs first, saying without looking back, "Auntie Flat Chest, although I'm handsome enough to make your psychology ignore your physiological fear of men, there's still a difference between men and women. You should try to restrain yourself. I'm not that kind of person."
Song Xiangyu followed him with the car keys, looking dejected and unwilling. Pouting, she said, "Hmph! As far as I know, you're almost 24, right? I'm only about six years older than you, so why are you calling me 'Auntie'? And this talk about differences between men and women is nonsense. If you truly believed in that, you wouldn't have collapsed from exhaustion while giving Yan Yan a massage and acupressure before. Ultimately, you just don't like my small size!"
"..."
Chen Xiao was speechless. After getting into the car, he distractedly changed the subject. "By the way, how is the construction progress of Honglou Chun Phase III? Has President Qin encountered any more safety incidents?"
Reminded by Chen Xiao, Song Xiangyu recalled the recent terrifying experiences at the construction site, such as a child falling from a balcony, which felt like a scene from a horror movie. She shuddered but also felt even more awe for Chen Xiao. She quickly nodded vigorously like a pecking chick, flattering him, "Dr. Chen, thanks to your divine talismans, after the 'dirty things' were cleared from Honglou Chun Phase III, there have been no more safety accidents. It's about to be completed. It's also because of your help that I've managed to secure the position of Chairman of Honglou Chun Group for now. Otherwise, it would have gone to Yan Yan again! So, after the acceptance procedures with President Qin's construction company are completed in a while, I will definitely give you a big house!"
Due to her limited abilities, although Song Xiangyu had taken over the management of several Song family companies, some of which she had competed with Song Yan for, she had never succeeded even once, except for Honglou Chun Phase III, where Chen Xiao had indirectly helped. This was one of the main reasons she suddenly wanted to win Chen Xiao over.
"So, by breaking that child's Yin Sha formation, I indirectly hindered Song Yan?"
Chen Xiao felt a bit speechless. But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but shake his head and mutter to himself, "But it's not a big problem. After all, if I hadn't helped, Song Yan would have probably ended up cleaning up the mess anyway?"
"You..."
Song Xiangyu almost cried on the spot, and the steering wheel almost lost control. So, she drove in a sulky mood, her face sullen, until she drove into the underground parking lot of the Central Hospital. Watching Chen Xiao get out of the car without any hesitation, and without even glancing at her deliberately exposed slender legs, she finally couldn't hold back and said, "Dr. Chen, since you're a doctor at the outpatient department, why don't you just give me a prescription for the medicine? Central Hospital is a public hospital, so the three Chinese herbs needed to prepare Lotus Receptacle Purple Medicine will definitely not be adulterated, and it's on the way..."
Before she could finish speaking, Song Xiangyu suddenly received a text message from Song Wanliang:
"Xiangyu, where are you now? Come to Central Hospital to accompany me."
What's going on? Did Yan Yan fail? Why is my brother still at Central Hospital?
Song Xiangyu was greatly alarmed and, in a panic, quickly grabbed Chen Xiao's arm and said frantically, "Dr. Chen... Dr. Chen, don't go back to work yet. Let's... let's go back?"
