"Hmph! Still trying to justify yourself? Even though you didn’t do that to me, just look at what you were doing earlier?"
Xiaomeng’s pretty face was tense as she spoke, and she moved her hand away from her chest, revealing the enticing view beneath, and she loudly scolded.
"Alright, alright, you win, you wily girl! I’ll admit to my crime, I’ve besmirched your innocence. So how do you want me to make it up to you?"
Ye Xuan squinted his eyes, glanced at the open view of Xiaomeng’s chest, shook his head helplessly, and asked placidly.
"Hmph, you should be the one to say! How do you think you should take responsibility for me?"
Xiaomeng snorted coldly, a mischievous glint flashing in her eyes as she asked coldly.
"How about we talk about love and make love, and I turn you into my real woman. What do you say? I am a very responsible man. If you agree, we could go get a room right away. How about it?"
Ye Xuan spoke earnestly, his gaze filled with ardent anticipation.
Inside, however, he chuckled to himself, thinking that this little girl, with her mere years of experience, intended to outplay him? What a joke, this handsome guy wouldn’t fall for that!
"Big bad guy, you sure wish! Not only did you take advantage of me, you still want to devour me whole; I won’t do as you wish."
Seeing Ye Xuan beat around the bush without getting to the point, Xiaomeng immediately puffed up her cheeks, speaking in an aggrieved tone.
Then, she stood up, quickly straightened her clothes, walked over to Ye Xuan, and sat down right beside him!
"Well then! I wanted to take responsibility, but you don’t want it, so you can’t blame me."
Ye Xuan spread his hands, speaking in a nonchalant manner.
"Who says I don’t want you to take responsibility? The kind I’m talking about isn’t what you’re thinking! Can’t your thoughts be pure for once? It’s so lewd."
Xiaomeng’s face flushed as she spoke. The meaning behind Ye Xuan’s words was to have her essentially sell herself to him, which would result in her getting the short end of the stick.
She certainly wouldn’t be fool enough to do something so disadvantageous to herself!
"Oh, then how would you have me take responsibility?"
Ye Xuan smiled with a playful tone, realizing that this girl certainly had an ulterior motive.
Xiaomeng squirmed a bit, lightly biting her lip, before tentatively asking, "Ye Xuan, with your advanced medical technique, can you treat a leg injury?"
Hearing this, Ye Xuan was taken aback, wondering to himself if this girl wanted him to treat her. But she didn’t seem to be sick.
Thinking this, he nevertheless replied, "Well, it depends on what kind of leg injury it is, but most types are no problem! However, if it’s as serious as a broken leg, then it’s difficult to treat!"
"Ah? Mine is pretty severe, a disability caused by the necrosis of muscle nerves in the leg. Can you cure it?" Xiaomeng asked with hope.
"Err... you have a problem with your leg?"
Ye Xuan glanced at Xiaomeng’s long, fair legs, thinking to himself that such beautiful legs, he could play with for a year! How could they be problematic?
"It’s not mine, it’s my dad’s leg!" Xiaomeng explained.
"It depends on the specific disability. If it’s been less than a couple of years, then it’s quite easy to treat! But if it’s an old injury that’s been there for many years, it’s going to be a lot tougher. I can’t guarantee anything." Ye Xuan explained, spreading his hands.
"From what you’re saying, there’s not much hope, then? My dad’s leg has been disabled for over a decade, so it can’t be cured?"
Sun Xiaomeng’s beautiful eyes dimmed, and she spoke with a hint of disappointment.
"That’s not necessarily true! In this world, if even I can’t cure the injury, then no one can. I can take a look at your father’s condition. There’s always a chance, maybe I will be able to cure him?" Ye Xuan consoled her.
Originally, he was wondering what this girl’s real intention was. To his surprise, it was about treating her father’s illness, and being an Ancient Medicine practitioner, Ye Xuan naturally agreed without hesitation.
"Is that true? Ye Xuan, you really are willing to treat my dad’s leg disorder?" Sun Xiaomeng exclaimed with a face full of surprise.
His gaze briefly surveyed the front of Sun Xiaomeng’s chest before Ye Xuan flashed a slight smile and said, "Of course, it’s true. When have I ever deceived anyone? Since I’ve taken advantage of you, I should take some responsibility. Let’s consider treating your dad as a form of compensation."
Then, his tone shifted, "However, I can’t guarantee a cure! I’ll need to see him first to determine the specific situation."
"It’s okay, I’m already really happy just with the thought that you could treat my dad."
Sun Xiaomeng gave a charming smile, then suddenly remembered something and asked with a bit of coyness, "By the way, do you... do you charge for your medical services?"
She was from a working-class family with not so great financial means, especially having spent everything treating her father’s illness over the years! If asking Ye Xuan for treatment required a large sum of money, her family couldn’t bear it. Therefore, she had to consider the cost.
Understanding her concerns, Ye Xuan leaned in close, cheek to cheek, and teased with a playful smile, "This Young Master doesn’t want money, I just want to take you, to be my Lady."
Sun Xiaomeng’s cheeks flushed crimson, and she spat lightly, turning her head away, "I’m trying to discuss something serious with you, why can’t you ever be serious?"
At her words, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter and said, "Hahaha, I’m just teasing you! You didn’t take it seriously, did you? Even if I’m down and out, I wouldn’t resort to that. Do I look like the kind of person who takes advantage of others?"
"You don’t just look like one, you are one!" Sun Xiaomeng turned back, looking earnestly at him.
Ye Xuan touched his nose, thinking that despite his careful concealment, this girl had seen right through him? Not simple at all!
Of course, he wouldn’t admit it on his face, and with utter seriousness, he said, "Rest assured, as an Ancient Medicine practitioner, saving lives and helping the injured is my duty, I won’t ask for any compensation from you! I will treat you for free throughout, and I won’t accept a single cent even if I manage to cure him."
"Hmph! That’s more like it!"
Sun Xiaomeng humphed, proudly tilting her little head up.
Then, a blush crawled onto her pretty face, and she looked at Ye Xuan with shy, fluttering eyelids, giggling, "But still, thank you, Ye Xuan! If you cure my dad’s leg, I’ll definitely treat you to a meal!"
"Alright, it’s a deal."
Seeing Sun Xiaomeng’s bashful and timid manner, Ye Xuan chuckled and shook his head but still agreed.
Actually, whether she reciprocated with something or not, he didn’t care. He agreed to help Sun Xiaomeng because he felt guilty inside!
It wasn’t just because he took advantage of her ’tofu,’ but also because of the incident in Zhu Bei Town, which almost dragged her into trouble. Therefore, he hadn’t thought about any form of compensation at all!
And having discussed the medical treatment, it was time to return to the main topic.
Ye Xuan settled back into the sofa and called out to the entrance of the booth, "Housekeeper Lin, you can come in now. Lang Feng, make way!"
The response came from Lang Feng at the door, and then the booth door was pushed open. Lin Tao’s bloated, ball-like figure slowly rolled in.
Coming to Ye Xuan, Lin Tao’s plump face was piled with smiles as he respectfully said:
"Young Master Ye, our boss invites you over to discuss in detail. Would you care to step over?"
