Chapter 49: A Few Rubs and It Will Be Fine

Caught in the act of peeking, Lin Chen smiled.

Just as he was about to support An Xueyao to the front gate, a middle-aged woman who looked very kind hurried out to greet them. She looked at An Xueyao with concern and said, "Miss, what happened? Are you okay?"

An Xueyao shook her head and said, "Aunt Wang, I'm fine, I just twisted my ankle."

Hearing this, Aunt Wang became anxious and said, "Twisted your ankle? What should we do? I'll call a doctor to come and check on you, Miss."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Aunt Wang, hello. There's no need to call a doctor. I am a doctor. Don't worry, I can treat Miss's ankle very quickly."

An Xueyao huffed slightly, dissatisfied, and said, "What do you mean 'your Miss'? I hired you as my bodyguard, so you should call me Miss."

Aunt Wang had been so focused on An Xueyao that she only now noticed Lin Chen. She was startled, knowing that her Miss usually didn't like to have any contact with men. How could she now let a man support her, and even lean on him?

Is this a bodyguard? Isn't it a bit too intimate?

However, she didn't ask more, just a bit suspicious and not very convinced that Lin Chen could treat An Xueyao's ankle. In her view, it would be more reliable to call a doctor. After all, this young man looked too young and was just a bodyguard, not like a doctor at all.

Aunt Wang thought for a moment and said, "Sir, you are Miss's bodyguard, right? Thank you for your kindness, but I still think I should call Doctor Li. He is very good at treating such injuries."

Her words were tactful, but in simple terms, she was saying that he couldn't handle it and was just a bodyguard, so she had to call Doctor Li.

Lin Chen said helplessly, "Aunt Wang, how long do you think it will take for Doctor Li to treat Miss's ankle?"

Aunt Wang thought for a moment and said, "If Miss just twisted her ankle, Doctor Li should be able to treat it, and she should be fine after resting for one or two days."

Lin Chen said, "But I can make Miss jump around in less than a minute, so it's better if I treat her."

Aunt Wang frowned, her face showing displeasure, and her voice became cold, "Mr. Lin, do you think I'm calling Doctor Li because I look down on you? You are young, and I understand youthful arrogance, but don't talk nonsense just because you are不服气 (unconvinced). If you can't do what you say, it will only make people look down on you even more!"

As she spoke, Aunt Wang mentally gave Lin Chen a low score.

Although she didn't know why her Miss was so close to this bodyguard, this young man was too boastful. Such boastfulness might not be a big deal outside, but such a person absolutely had no right to step into the An family's door, nor to stand beside Miss!

Lin Chen still smiled and said, "Whether I'm talking nonsense or not, we'll see."

He wasn't angry. Generally, a twisted ankle requires some rest. It wasn't strange that Aunt Wang, who didn't know his abilities, thought he was talking nonsense.

Aunt Wang still didn't believe him and was about to call Doctor Li. At this moment, An Xueyao said, "Aunt Wang, there's no need to call Doctor Li. Lin Chen is fine. If he says he can treat my ankle in less than a minute, he can."

Although An Xueyao thought Lin Chen was a bit of a pervert, she had no doubt about his medical skills.

With An Xueyao speaking, Aunt Wang couldn't say much more and led the two to the living room.

Aunt Wang still didn't believe that Lin Chen could treat a twisted ankle in less than a minute, so she stayed by the side when Lin Chen supported An Xueyao to sit on the sofa in the living room.

She had already decided that if Lin Chen couldn't treat it, she would kick him out and call Doctor Li.

Although Miss was smart from a young age, she was still too young and too trusting. This bodyguard might be纠缠 (harassing) her Miss.

Lin Chen took off An Xueyao's shoes and socks and held her small, white foot in his hands.

An Xueyao was beautiful, and so were her feet, with no odor, but rather a faint scent of a young girl.

Lin Chen didn't think about anything else, his mind free of distractions. On the contrary, An Xueyao, a bit uneasy, wiggled her foot, her face slightly red.

"Lin Chen, how are you going to treat me? Taking off my shoes, are you going to massage my foot?" An Xueyao asked curiously.

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, a few rubs and it will be fine."

Aunt Wang frowned and said, "Mr. Lin, are you sure a few rubs will do it?"

Lin Chen, without looking up, said, "Yes, I'm using traditional Chinese massage techniques. Aunt Wang, don't think that a few rubs are simple. Rubbing specific acupoints with the right pressure can resolve blood stasis and avoid damaging the meridians. It's all about technique."

Aunt Wang glanced at Lin Chen's young face and muttered to herself, "It sounds like it makes sense, but how can a young traditional Chinese doctor have any skills? And the so-called massage, I've heard of it, but it's not that magical."

Lin Chen had already started massaging An Xueyao's right ankle.

His ten fingers were long and strong, and his movements, though not fast, gave a very soothing feeling.

An Xueyao felt a warm current flow from Lin Chen's fingertips into her body.

Her foot was very sensitive, and it was the first time a man had held it. The tingling sensation made her involuntarily moan.

"Mmm~"

The alluring sound made Lin Chen's heart skip a beat.

This woman was truly a beauty, with even her voice being top-notch.

In less than a minute, Lin Chen put An Xueyao's foot down and smiled, "It's done. You're fine now."

An Xueyao felt no pain in her right ankle and stood up, taking a few steps.

"Ah, it's really fine. Lin Chen, you're amazing," An Xueyao said excitedly.

"How is that possible, Miss? You're really fine?" Aunt Wang said, hardly believing it.

"Yes, I'm really fine," An Xueyao said, even jumping a bit cutely.

"This... This is too amazing..."

Aunt Wang was amazed, and her eyes no longer had any doubt when she looked at Lin Chen.

"Aunt Wang, this guy is a bit of a pervert, but his medical skills are good. He treated my face," An Xueyao said, giving Lin Chen a glance.

"What... Miss, your face was treated by Mr. Lin?"

Aunt Wang exclaimed, then thanked Lin Chen profusely. She had taken care of An Xueyao since she was young, and to her, An Xueyao was like her own child.

Thinking about how she had doubted his skills and thought he was boastful, she blushed. He wasn't boastful; he had real skills.

An Xueyao's parents were not at home. They seemed to be workaholics and rarely came home.

Her mother had gone abroad on business yesterday, and her father was in another province, probably on his way back after hearing about the sniper incident.

Aunt Wang was very热情 (enthusiastic) and arranged for Lin Chen to stay in the room next to An Xueyao.

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Lin Chen woke up and went to a quiet place nearby to practice.

Around 7 a.m., An Xueyao called, asking where he was and urging him to return quickly, as if there was some urgent matter.

When he returned to An Xueyao's house, she was already waiting at the villa gate. Seeing Lin Chen, a hint of joy flashed across her face, and she ran over.

Lin Chen was surprised, "Miss, did you miss me so much after just one night?"

An Xueyao playfully rolled her eyes, "Who would miss you, you pervert."

Then, with a serious face, she said, "Lin Chen, be my boyfriend!"
