When he felt that her feet were no longer freezing, he turned on the tap and warm water flowed into the bathtub.
Jian Dan felt her feet warming up gradually. Her feet warmed up, and her body seemed to have warmed up too…
Jian Dan stepped on Chu Liyuan’s feet.
This was the first time Jian Dan had seen Chu Liyuan’s feet so clearly. It turned out that Chu Liyuan’s feet were very pretty, so pretty that he could be a foot model…
Just as Jian Dan was in a daze, she suddenly felt the water become very hot. She subconsciously wanted to pull her feet out of the water, but Chu Liyuan discovered it before she could do so and stepped on her feet…
“Don’t move! Need to do this to draw the coldness out.”
The water was not very hot now; it only felt very hot because Jian Dan’s feet were too cold.
“It’s so hot! Uncle!”
“It won’t be hot in a while!”
If she didn’t draw the coldness out, she would definitely fall sick.
And so… No matter how hard she tried, she could not break free from Chu Liyuan’s large feet. After that, Chu Liyuan even asked Mrs. Jin to bring her foot bath and soaked his feet with her for nearly an hour before letting her out.
However, as Chu Liyuan had said, it was not that hot subsequently.
This should be her first foot bath! Although it was a little difficult at the beginning because it was really too hot and Chu Liyuan refused to let her leave the hot water, and she really felt that her feet were about to be cooked, it felt quite comfortable after she slowly got used to it.
After the foot bath, she felt her body heat up.
She did not know if it was because she did not sleep well during the camping trip… Or because of the foot bath at night… Or because Chu Liyuan was beside her, but she slept very soundly that night…
But who knew… just as dawn was approaching, Jian Dan—who was still sleeping—contorted her face. Her eyebrows were knitted together, her lips were tightly shut, and there were even traces of sweat on her forehead…
It was as if she had had a nightmare and was suffering in her dream.
It was dawn when Chu Liyuan slowly opened his eyes. The corners of his lips curled up as he got closer to Jian Dan, but he realized something was amiss…
He lifted the blanket and realized that the bedsheets under Jian Dan were dyed red with blood.
For a moment, he panicked. Just as he picked up his cell phone and was about to call the doctor, he realized… Was it that time of the month?!
“Jian Jian!”
He called Jian Dan softly. When he got closer, he saw the painful expression on her face.
He frowned again…
He made a call on the cell phone that he had just whipped out…
“Sizhe, come over immediately.”
“Waking me up so early in the morning….Your condition had better be so serious that you can’t get out of bed.”
Sizhe was one of Chu Liyuan’s few close friends. A very highly-skilled doctor, he did not specialize in any one specialty; he was a specialist in very field. He was a legendary doctor at Mercy Hospital and also the Chu family’s concierge doctor.
“You talk too much!”
“You think I talk too much? From your tone, you don’t sound sick.”
“It’s Jian Jian!”
“Jian Jian? Who’s that?”
Sizhe had been abroad attending a medical conference recently. He only got back recently, so it was understandable that he did not know about Jian Dan.
“I’ll give you 20 minutes. If you don’t show up, face the consequences!”
He really did not want to talk nonsense with him anymore.
“Hey, hey, hey! Hang on! Can you at least tell me what’s going on?”
Chu Liyuan briefly explained Jian Dan’s symptoms to Sizhe.
“It’s very likely that this is menstrual cramps caused by Cold Womb Syndrome.”
“Cold Womb Syndrome is under the domain of TCM [11. Refers to Traditional Chinese medicine]. Why don’t 1 give you an address and you can bring her there for a consultation?”
“Western medicine is mainly for treatment. As for Cold Womb Syndrome, she would need to build up her health through nourishment. TCM is more accomplished in this aspect.”
Looking at Jian Dan’s current state… How could she even manage to get out of the house?!
“Go get him.”
“Come on, he doesn’t make house calls!”
“That’s your business. 1 want to see him in Li Garden in half an hour.”
With that, Chu Liyuan hung up without giving Sizhe a chance to refuse.
Sizhe glanced at the beauty beside him and sighed secretly. He had wanted to do “morning exercise”, but now it’s all gone up in smoke…
Chu Liyuan! An evil capitalist! Exploitation! It was plain exploitation!
