Upon hearing this, Shen Tian was stunned. She shook her head, "How could that be? Huang Jian has so much power. Even if I escape Yunzhou City, he can still send assassins to find me. After all… I'm one of the more important women in his life, and I know quite a few of his secrets. Ah Chen, you couldn't do that!"
Lu Chen chuckled, "I can't afford to offend him, but I guarantee I can hide! Sister Tian, just tell me, are you willing? How about this, think it over carefully, and then come find me!"
With that, he pushed away Shen Tian's arm that was clinging to him, and walked out with an air of nonchalance.
Just as Lu Chen reached the door and was about to turn the doorknob and leave, Shen Tian suddenly cried out, "I'm willing! I've wanted to get rid of all this for a long time. I don't want anything, I just want to live a peaceful life! But…"
Tears streamed down her face.
Lu Chen returned and embraced her naked body, gently patting her soft, smooth back. He said softly, "Sister Tian, don't worry, I'll help you! But you might have to endure a lonely period, being a homebody or something. I'm afraid you won't be able to handle the solitude."
"It's okay!" Shen Tian smiled through her tears. "I can do it. That's the kind of life I quite like."
If she knew what Lu Chen was thinking, she would be both amused and exasperated, and might even scold him a bit.
Lu Chen was thinking of four famous, alluring words for men: keeping a mistress in a golden cage.
He said, "Okay, I'll make a plan and tell you soon. Now, let's start with some initial treatment."
Shen Tian nestled in Lu Chen's arms, softly humming in agreement, her expression tender.
Lu Chen smiled slightly. Being able to save such a beautiful woman gave him a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. Of course, she had to be worthy of his help. She herself wanted to break free from his controlling influence, and he was willing to help.
A hero rescuing a damsel in distress—a timeless legend, a surge of passion in every man's heart!
Lu Chen helped Shen Tian lie back on the bed, then used his healing powers to perform a full-body cleansing, primarily stimulating her meridians and acupoints to expel some of the toxins deep within her internal organs.
The healing powers were powerful enough to expel all the toxins at once, but that would also damage her internal organs. Therefore, the toxin removal needed to be done without harming them.
Twenty minutes later, Shen Tian suddenly began to writhe, her white, snake-like body twisting and turning. She murmured, "Ah Chen, I can't hold it in anymore, I really... I really can't hold it in anymore..."
"Ah?" Lu Chen was shocked.
Then, he saw Shen Tian abruptly jump off the bed onto the floor and run towards the bathroom.
So that's what she couldn't hold in anymore!
Lu Chen scratched his head, chuckling, "Sister Tian, ha! I thought you couldn't hold back!"
Shen Tian, who had run to the bathroom door, turned slightly and said coquettishly, "Your pinching did a little arousing, but I'm an experienced woman, how could I not hold back?"
Suddenly, *plop*.
Shen Tian's face turned bright red, she reached back to cover her bottom, and shouted, "I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Then she rushed in, slamming the door shut.
Soon, a series of loud crackling sounds came from inside.
Lu Chen laughed and fell onto the bed.
So, after the toxins in the internal organs are expelled, they are eliminated from the body in this way. After laughing for a while, Lu Chen got up, found some paper and pen from the hotel, and started writing.
Prescribe medicine!
Mainly two kinds: one is a decoction to replenish vital energy, allowing the body's positive energy to more effectively resist toxins. One method is a soaking bath. A soak opens the pores, allowing the medicine to both absorb and expel toxins. Combined with regular energy massage, it's hoped that the ailment can be cured within a year.
Then, after about a year of recuperation, romantic feelings can develop.
Of course, this is all predicated on Shen Tian fulfilling Lu Chen's instructions.
Otherwise, it's all in vain.
Lu Chen wasn't joking.
A dozen minutes later, Shen Tian emerged, steaming and slightly damp.
Clearly, after the severe diarrhea, she had taken a hot shower.
She looked slightly weak overall, but her previously pale, bluish skin—a sign of toxins spreading through her blood—was much better, with a rosier complexion.
Shen Tian walked to Lu Chen's side, gently touching his face, and said gratefully, "Chen, thank you. I feel so much better now. That feeling of my body almost rotting isn't as bad. It's working. And look, these red bumps have faded a lot!"
As she spoke, she confidently straddled the bed, pointing to her side for Lu Chen to see.
Looking at her alluring figure, Lu Chen swallowed hard. He said, "Sister Tian, you...you should put some clothes on quickly, or at least wrap yourself in a towel. Otherwise, you can hold back, but I can't."
Shen Tian chuckled, obediently wrapping herself in a towel, and then solemnly said, "Two years from now, Chen, if you need me, I'll give you anything."
Lu Chen scratched his head; what a touching promise!
He handed the written prescription to Shen Tian and began explaining, and Shen Tian listened attentively. Suddenly, her phone rang. It wasn't Lu Chen's, but her beautiful boss's.
Shen Tian glanced at the caller ID, her expression changing slightly.
Lu Chen looked at the caller ID and read two words: "Boss."
Shen Tian let out a soft breath and answered the phone.
The voice on the other end was high-pitched, somewhat like a eunuch's, yet it possessed a penetrating quality and a rather domineering air. He asked Shen Tian where she was.
Shen Tian honestly replied, "Boss, I've booked a room at the Jiaxin Hotel. A doctor is treating me. Boss, is there anything I need?"
"Treatment?" The voice on the other end chuckled. "Booked a room for treatment? Are you booking a room with a gigolo?"
Shen Tian's face paled; she seemed quite afraid of Huang Jian. She quickly said, "No, it's really just for a medical appointment! Boss, why would I bring a gigolo?"
"Whether you bring him or not, how would I know? It's none of my business. As long as you do the job I assigned, that's fine!" The laughter turned cold: "It's 10:34 now. At 11:30, be at the English Restaurant on time. Manager Chen Yun from the Huaihai Group is waiting for you in the Wild Rose private room."
Huaihai Group?
Lu Chen, who was listening nearby, was taken aback. Wasn't that the Zhuang family's group?
"Boss, but...I'm getting treatment..." Shen Tian hesitated.
"But what? What treatment?" The person on the other end of the phone immediately became impatient:
"Shen Tian, don't be so difficult! Manager Chen is very important. You know he's the manager of the Third Administrative Department of Huaihai Headquarters, holding administrative power over several subordinate companies. Under his control, employee and client entertainment spending can reach over 30 million annually. He's a big client, I need to get him! He's been interested in you for a while now, stop nagging!"
Lu Chen, listening intently, found it all fascinating.
The manager of the Third Administrative Department? Then, the fourth uncle Zhuang Keluo called last time, that Zhuang Youxing, isn't he some kind of administrative director at the head office? Judging by the title, he should be more important than some manager of the Third Administrative Department, right?
Shen Tian's face showed a very unpleasant expression. She glanced at Lu Chen, then steeled her resolve and mustered her courage to say, "Boss, the doctor said my condition is so serious that I can't have relations with any man for the time being, otherwise, it'll be very dangerous... Could you perhaps send someone else?"
"Shen Tian, when did you become so willing to defy me? Have you grown wings or something?" A sinister laugh came from the other end: "Let me tell you, you have to go, whether you like it or not! And if you go, whatever Manager Chen asks for, you have to fulfill him! If he's unhappy, I'll be very unhappy!"
"Boss, I..."
"Damn it, a bitch is whining to me! The female boss of Gold Coast, I'm the one who helped her get started! If I'm unhappy, you can die in a sewer and no one will know!"
Immediately, the line went dead; the other party had hung up.
Shen Tian bit her lip, unable to hold back, tears streamed down her face.
Lu Chen sighed, "Tsk tsk, women are really made of water, they cry so easily."
Shen Tian put down her phone and quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe her tears. She said with a bitter smile, "No, I've been scolded like that before, even worse! You wouldn't believe it, when I'm on my period, if he has clients, he forces me to go. If I don't go, he beats me hard with a stick. I never cried!"
After thinking for a moment, she stared intently at Lu Chen, "I guess it's because of you that I can't help but cry in front of you."
Lu Chen nodded, "Yeah, I understand. It's like a child who falls down. If his parents aren't around, he gets up and keeps going. But if his parents are, he bursts into tears, crying and shouting, 'Daddy, pick me up! Daddy, pick me up!'"
"Holy crap!" Shen Tian laughed through her tears, raising her fist to punch Lu Chen on the head. Lu Chen laughed and turned to run away. Shen Tian didn't hesitate and immediately gave chase.
After running a few steps, she suddenly cried out.
Lu Chen turned his head and his mind went blank.
As she ran, the woman's loosely wrapped bathrobe slid down to her heels.
At the sight, Lu Chen couldn't resist. He turned back, pulled Shen Tian into his arms, and pushed her down onto the bed.
Shen Tian looked up at Lu Chen on top of her, then extended a slender white finger and touched his nose. She said softly, "No, I'm sick."
"I know," Lu Chen said, "Just rub against me like this!"
And he actually started rubbing against her.
Shen Tian giggled, "Rubbing against your head, my foot!" and playfully hit Lu Chen's head.
It was only their second meeting, but they'd gotten so intimate without even realizing it.
Perhaps it's a matter of fate, like the Buddhist saying about karmic connections spanning five or seven lifetimes. Of course, it's also possible that Lu Chen's charm is truly immense.
Shen Tian didn't want to go to Huang Jian's place.
