Chapter 13

"Xinyu, how are you feeling?"

Entering Su Yuxin's room, Su Liuli immediately noticed that Su Yuxin's originally pale face was now flushed, and her overall vitality had significantly improved. However, she was still worried and couldn't wait to ask before even reaching the bedside.

"Liuli, I'm much better."

Su Liuli's concern warmed Su Yuxin's heart. Although Su Liuli and she were only cousins, their relationship was deeper than that of real sisters—Su Liuli's mother had entered politics and had no time to take care of Su Liuli's daily life, so Su Liuli had lived with Su Yuxin since childhood.

If not for their deep bond, Su Liuli wouldn't have secretly followed Su Yuxin and Uncle Fu to Ling Mountain, and even wearing a tank top and shorts, she would have climbed the mountain with determination, resulting in multiple cuts all over her body.

"Phew..."

Hearing this, Su Liuli let out a sigh of relief and then asked a more pressing question: "Xinyu, did that bastard do anything inhuman to you?"

Inhuman?

Su Yuxin instantly understood what Su Liuli meant, and she couldn't help but recall the moment during the treatment when she felt so comfortable that she involuntarily moaned.

Thinking about that moment, Su Yuxin's face turned red again, and even her body felt a bit weak, as if she had experienced the pleasure of 'piston movement' and was savoring the joy of physical and mental interaction.

Could... could that bastard really have done something to Xinyu?

Seeing Su Yuxin's flushed face, Su Liuli's eyes widened in shock.

"Liuli, are you talking about Doctor Ye?" Just as the two sisters were lost in their thoughts, Su Mother couldn't help but ask.

"Who else could it be?"

Su Liuli blurted out, her gaze still fixed on Su Yuxin's flushed face. "Xinyu, you didn't really..."

"Liuli, Doctor Ye saved Yuxin; he is our benefactor. How can you call him a bastard?"

Although Su Mother came from a poor background and was gentle and weak, with little status in the Su family, she was a person who knew how to repay kindness. Seeing Su Liuli defame Ye Fan, she rarely scolded Su Liuli.

"Aunt, I..."

"Mom, Liuli and Doctor Ye had a misunderstanding."

A moment later, when Su Liuli tried to explain, Su Yuxin stepped in to smooth things over. "I will talk to her and clear up the misunderstanding."

"That's good."

Hearing this, Su Mother let out a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "We should thank Doctor Ye properly later."

"Okay."

Su Yuxin nodded in response, then hesitated and said, "Mom, I'm a bit hungry. Could you make something to eat? I'll talk to Liuli."

"Ah... Okay!"

Since Su Yuxin's yin energy had flared up, her appetite had greatly decreased, and she had never asked for food on her own. Hearing Su Yuxin say she was hungry, Su Mother was overjoyed and quickly left the bedroom.

"Xinyu, you said I misunderstood him. What exactly happened?"

As soon as Su Mother left the bedroom, Su Liuli couldn't wait to ask her question, feeling that if Su Yuxin didn't clear it up, she wouldn't rest easy even in death.

"Liuli, Doctor Ye is a good person."

Faced with Su Liuli's inquiry, Su Yuxin couldn't help but recall Ye Fan's sincere words and said so involuntarily.

A good person?

He's a good person?!

Su Liuli was so shocked that her mouth opened slightly, her eyes filled with doubt: Even if that guy cured Xinyu's illness, given his behavior, Xinyu wouldn't call him a good person, right?

"Xinyu, Zhang Ailing once said, the vagina is the path to a woman's soul. Could... could you really have done something with that guy?"

Su Liuli had always been straightforward. She didn't ask in front of Su Mother, but now, seeing Su Yuxin say Ye Fan was a good person, she asked directly.

Hearing this, Su Yuxin's mouth opened slightly in surprise, then her face turned red, and she said with a hint of embarrassment, "Liuli, don't talk nonsense!"

"Xinyu, if you did that with him, why would you say he's a good person? He's not only lecherous but also arrogant. Given your personality, you shouldn't have a good impression of him."

Perhaps because she trusted her own judgment, or because Su Yuxin had been acting strangely all day, Su Liuli was somewhat suspicious.

"Liuli, you know me. If I really had that kind of relationship with him for the sake of treatment, would I be as happy as I am now?" Su Yuxin couldn't help but sigh, her heart touched.

Hearing Su Yuxin's slightly sad words, Su Liuli felt like a lost child finding her way home and immediately realized something, but she was still puzzled: "Xinyu, then why do you say he's a good person?"

"Because, I chose to have sexual intercourse for treatment, but he stopped me."

As she spoke, Su Yuxin's mind involuntarily recalled Ye Fan's proud and resolute face, her tone somewhat complex. "He said he didn't mind doing that with me, but given my personality, it would be too cruel for me and would leave me with an indelible shadow."

"He also said that through conservative treatment, he could control my condition, and it might only flare up once every few years."

At the end, a joyful smile appeared on Su Yuxin's face. She felt this was the greatest blessing from heaven.

"Uh..."

These words left Su Liuli speechless, feeling that Ye Fan's image in her mind was about to be completely overturned.

Could... could I really have misunderstood him?

Su Liuli asked herself, but had no answer.

...

To express gratitude to Ye Fan, that evening, Su Hongyuan hosted a banquet at the Su family's No. 1 villa, with Su Mother, Su Yuxin, and Su Liuli accompanying him. Su Ming and Su Feiyu, father and son, claimed to be busy and did not attend, and Su Liuli's mother, Su Ling, was unable to return.

At the dinner table, Su Mother, Su Yuxin, and Su Liuli thanked Ye Fan again. Su Liuli's gaze toward Ye Fan was still somewhat strange, as if she still had some doubts.

Ye Fan didn't pay much attention to this.

As the dinner was about to end, Su Hongyuan proposed to give Ye Fan one million RMB as a token of gratitude, on the condition that Ye Fan would stay to completely cure Su Yuxin.

Ye Fan agreed to stay but refused the gratitude fee, stating that he was acting on someone else's behalf.

Su Hongyuan didn't insist on Ye Fan's refusal—he knew that since Ye Fan was introduced by Chu Ji, he wouldn't lack money, and given Ye Fan's deep-seated pride, even if the Su family offered ten million or even a hundred million, Ye Fan might not have treated Su Yuxin if not for someone's request!

Meanwhile, Su Feiyu, who didn't attend the dinner, immediately went to the study to talk to his father, Su Ming, upon his return home.

"Father, how could an unknown quack cure Su Yuxin's illness?"

Entering the study, Su Feiyu got straight to the point, asking Su Ming. In fact, since leaving the Su family's No. 2 villa, he had been thinking about this problem, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't figure it out.

"This is indeed suspicious. Find out that doctor's background later."

Although Su Ming wasn't present in the afternoon, he had heard about the events and received a call from Uncle Fu. Seeing Su Feiyu's puzzled expression, he nodded in agreement and then changed the subject: "However, Feiyu, as I told you last night, even if that girl is cured, she won't pose a threat to you, let alone her condition being only temporarily controlled."

Su Feiyu knew this, and he even used this point to comfort his wounded heart.

"Father, you don't know. Today, Grandfather said to that quack: 'Because he cured Su Yuxin's illness, he will be the benefactor of the entire Su family from now on!' After being comforted, Su Feiyu felt better, but he remembered what Su Hongyuan said in the afternoon.

"Just empty words, don't take them seriously." Su Ming sneered. "Even if that girl, can we represent the family?"

"It seems I was overthinking it." Su Feiyu felt relieved.

"Feiyu, as I told you last night, don't worry about that girl. Just focus on yourself."

As he spoke, Su Ming's tone became more severe. "I don't want to see anything like what happened this afternoon again, understand?"

"Yes, Father."

Su Feiyu knew his father, Su Ming, was scolding him for trying to rub salt in Su Yuxin's wounds in the afternoon. He lowered his head in acknowledgment, but his hatred for Su Yuxin only increased.

He even hated Ye Fan!

In his view, if not for Ye Fan, this unknown quack, how could he have been repeatedly scolded by Su Hongyuan and Su Ming?
