13: Chapter 013 [Different Reactions] 13: Chapter 013 [Different Reactions] “Yuxin, how do you feel?”

Entering Su Yuxin’s room, Su Liuli immediately noticed Su Yuxin’s face, which had been deathly pale, now flushed with a healthy glow, and her spirits had vastly improved.

But still concerned, she didn’t wait to reach the bedside before asking impatiently.

“Liuli, I’m feeling much better.”

The concern from Su Liuli warmed Su Yuxin’s heart.

Although Su Liuli was only her cousin by blood, their relationship was deeper than that of sisters—Su Liuli’s mother had pursued a political career and had no time to take care of Su Liuli, who had lived with Su Yuxin since she was young.

If it weren’t for their deep bond, Su Liuli wouldn’t have secretly followed Su Yuxin and Uncle Fu to Spirit Mountain, even going so far as to climb the mountain in a camisole and shorts, and ended up scratched all over.

“Huh…”

Upon hearing this, Su Liuli breathed a sigh of relief but then asked a question out of deeper concern, “Yuxin, that bastard didn’t do anything beastly to you, did he?”

Beastly?

Su Yuxin instantly understood what Su Liuli was alluding to.

Unbidden, she recalled how during the treatment she had felt an all-encompassing comfort and couldn’t help but moan.

The memory caused Su Yuxin’s face to flush again, and even…

her body to feel weak, as if basking in the afterglow of pleasurable ‘piston motion,’ like a woman relishing the delight of a deep physical and emotional connection.

Could it…

Could it be that bastard really did something to Yuxin?

Seeing Su Yuxin’s blushing face, Su Liuli’s eyes widened in shock.

“Liuli, are you talking about Doctor Ye?” Just when the two sisters were each preoccupied with their own thoughts, Mrs.

Su couldn’t help but ask.

“Who else could it be?”

Su Liuli blurted out, though her gaze still lingered on Su Yuxin’s flushed cheeks, “Yuxin, you didn’t really…”

“Liuli, Doctor Ye saved Yuxin, he is our benefactor.

How can you call him a bastard?”

Though Mrs.

Su came from a humble background and had a gentle personality with little standing in the Su Family, she was a person who recognized and repaid kindness.

Seeing Su Liuli badmouth Ye Fan, she rebuked her, which was rare for her.

“Auntie, I…”

“Mom, Liuli has some misunderstandings about Doctor Ye.”

Shortly after, as Su Liuli tried to explain, Su Yuxin spoke to smooth things over, “I’ll talk to her and clear up the misunderstandings.”

“That’s good.”

Relieved by this, Mrs.

Su expressed her gratitude, “We need to properly thank Doctor Ye later.”

“Mhm.”

Su Yuxin nodded in agreement and then hesitated before saying, “Mom, I’m a bit hungry.

Could you make something to eat?

I want to talk with Liuli.”

“Ah…

Okay!”

Ever since the yin energy flare-up in Su Yuxin, her appetite had decreased drastically, and she had never asked for food on her own.

Thus, hearing Su Yuxin say she was hungry, Mrs.

Su replied with surprise and delight, and quickly left the bedroom.

“Yuxin, you just said I misunderstood him, what exactly happened?”

No sooner had Mrs.

Su left the bedroom than Su Liuli asked impatiently, desperate for an explanation, as if she couldn’t rest in peace even as a ghost without one.

“Liuli, Doctor Ye is a good man.”

Facing Su Liuli’s question, Su Yuxin unwittingly recalled Ye Fan’s sincere words and couldn’t help but speak out.

A good man?

He is a good man?!

Su Liuli’s mouth hung open in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief: Even if that guy had cured Yuxin’s illness, with his behavior, Yuxin wouldn’t call him a good man, would she?

“Yuxin, Zhang Ailing once said, that’s the pathway to a woman’s soul…

Could it be…

you really did ‘that’ with him?”

Su Liuli had always been forthright.

She hadn’t asked outright while Mrs.

Su was present, but now, hearing Su Yuxin call Ye Fan a good man, she directly posed her blunt question.

Upon hearing this, Su Yuxin’s mouth fell open in shock, which was followed by a flush of embarrassment, and she said with a hint of annoyance, “Liu Li, don’t talk nonsense!”

“Yu Xin, if you did that sort of thing with him, why would you call him a good person?

Not only is he lecherous, but he also acts high and mighty, like he owns the world.

Given your temperament, you shouldn’t feel any fondness for him.”

Perhaps it was due to her trust in her own subjective judgment, or perhaps because Su Yuxin had been acting out of character again and again today, that Su Liuli felt some doubt.

“Liu Li, you know me, tell me, with my temperament, if I really engaged in that kind of relationship with him for the sake of treatment, could I be as happy as I am now?” Unintentionally, Su Yuxin’s consciousness had been touched, and she couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

As Su Yuxin’s somewhat sorrowful words rang in her ears, Su Liuli felt like a lost child who had found the way home.

She became aware, yet…

she was still puzzled, “Yu Xin, then why do you say he is a good person?”

“Because, I chose to engage in sexual relations with him for treatment, but he stopped me,” she said.

As she spoke, Su Yuxin’s mind involuntarily conjured up Ye Fan’s face, which bore a hint of arrogance and determination, and her tone became inexplicably complex, “He said, he wouldn’t mind being with me in that way, but with my temperament, doing so would be far too cruel to me and would leave me with an indelible shadow!”

“He also said that with conservative treatment, he could control my condition, and it might take several years before it would flare up again.”

Toward the end, a joyful smile emerged on Su Yuxin’s face, feeling it was the greatest gift heaven could bestow upon her.

“Uh…”

These words left Su Liuli completely astonished, feeling as though the image of Ye Fan in her heart was about to be turned upside down.

Could it be…

she had really misunderstood him?

In her heart, Su Liuli asked herself, yet without an answer.

…

To express their appreciation to Ye Fan, that evening Su Hongyuan held a banquet for him at the Su Family’s No.1 Villa.

Mrs.

Su, Su Yuxin, and the sister Liuli kept them company.

Su Ming and Su Feiyu, father and son, were absent due to other commitments, and Su Ling, Liuli’s mother, could not return in time.

At the dinner table, Mrs.

Su, Su Yuxin, and Liuli once again expressed their gratitude to Ye Fan.

Liuli’s gaze towards Ye Fan was strange, still harboring some doubts.

Ye Fan paid no attention to this.

When the dinner was nearing its end, Su Hongyuan offered to give Ye Fan one million Huaxia Coins as a token of thanks, on the condition that he would please stay and completely cure Su Yuxin.

Ye Fan agreed to stay but refused the money, stating the reason: he was acting on someone else’s behalf.

As for Ye Fan’s refusal, Su Hongyuan did not insist—he knew very well that since Ye Fan was introduced by Chu Ji, he would naturally not lack money.

And considering Ye Fan’s inherent pride revealed from start to finish, if it were not on someone’s trust, even if the Su family offered ten million or even a hundred million, Ye Fan might not have agreed to treat Su Yuxin!

Meanwhile, Su Feiyu, who had missed the banquet, saw his father Su Ming return home and immediately went to the study for a conversation.

“Dad, how could an obscure quack doctor possibly treat Su Yuxin’s illness?”

Upon entering the study, Su Feiyu went straight to the point, seeking guidance from Su Ming.

In fact, ever since he left the Su Family’s No.2 Villa, he had been pondering this question, but no matter how hard he racked his brain, he couldn’t find an explanation.

“This matter is indeed quite strange.

You should go and check into that doctor’s background,” said Su Ming, who wasn’t present that afternoon but had heard of the events and received a call from Uncle Fu.

Seeing the puzzled look on Su Feiyu’s face, he first nodded in agreement, then changed the subject, “However…

Feiyu, just as I said to you last night, even if that girl’s illness is cured, she poses no threat to you.

Besides, her condition is only temporarily under control, right?”

Su Feiyu was aware of this as well and had even used it to console his wounded spirit.

“Dad, you don’t know, today grandfather thanked that quack doctor, saying: since he had cured Su Yuxin’s illness, from now on, he would be a benefactor of the entire Su Family!” After being comforted once more, Su Feiyu felt a bit relieved; however, he remembered what Su Hongyuan had said that afternoon.

“Those were just pleasantries, how could they be taken seriously?” Su Ming scoffed dismissively, “Not to mention that girl, can you or I even represent this family?”

“It seems I’ve been overthinking it.” Su Feiyu felt reassured.

“Feiyu, as I told you last night, you should just let go of that girl’s issues.

All you need to do is to take care of yourself,” Su Ming’s tone became a bit more stern as he continued, “I do not want to see incidents like this afternoon happen again, do you hear me?”

“Got it, Dad.”

Su Feiyu knew his father Su Ming was chiding him for trying to rub salt into Su Yuxin’s wounds that afternoon; he lowered his head and admitted his fault.

However, his resentment towards Su Yuxin only grew, rather than diminished.

And indeed…

he had also come to hate Ye Fan!

In his view, if it weren’t for Ye Fan, this unknown quack appearing out of nowhere, how could he have repeatedly been scolded by both Su Hongyuan and Su Ming?
