The dapper man with long strides walked over to her side and asked in a deep voice, “What do you need?”

“I need…” Rong Yan didn’t even lift her head, listing a whole bunch of things – it was mostly traditional Chinese medicinal herbs, plus the needles for acupuncture.

She had recited more than a dozen medicinal ingredients before she realized she might have said too much in one breath and stopped awkwardly, “Um… I think I spoke too fast. Let me say it again.”

Li Shengxiao remained calm, “No need.”

He recited the list of over a dozen obscure medicinal herb names she had just mentioned without missing a word, even remembering exactly how many grams of each, “Is that everything?”

How did he manage to memorize everything flawlessly after just one listen? His memory was astounding!

Rong Yan was gaping in amazement and hastily nodded, “Yes, that’s everything!”

“Is there anything else you need?” Li Shengxiao’s thin lips parted, “I’ll have someone bring everything over at once.”

Anything else… Rong Yan thought carefully, confirmed there was nothing wrong with her prescription, and shook her head, indicating, “No need, these are enough.”

The child was frail, and while Western medicine often focused on curing diseases, traditional Chinese medicine emphasized conditioning the body.

Since Duidui had been in the water for so long, even if by some miracle there wasn’t water in his lungs, the cold would have invaded the small child’s body after soaking for so long. This kind of cold might seem like a minor issue, but if it accumulated inside the body, the child would become prone to colds in the future. That’s why she wanted to perform a moisture-expelling, sweat-inducing acupuncture treatment on the little guy.

Li Shengxiao was aware of her capabilities in traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, and he quickly stepped aside to make a phone call to arrange for someone to bring over the items Rong Yan had requested.

Once the medicinal ingredients she had asked for arrived, Rong Yan personally went into the kitchen to decoct the medicine, controlling the heat with a muslin-covered pot. After the medicine was ready, she had Li Shengxiao pour it into a bathtub filled with hot water, picked up the little guy, and immersed him in the water for about twenty minutes.

During these twenty minutes, she was constantly performing acupuncture on Little Baby.

After the hustle and bustle, she held the little one, whose cheeks had regained some color, to the bed. By this time, her own clothes were soaked, her forehead and body were covered in sweat, and her face was as red as Little Baby’s.

“Let me,” Li Shengxiao took Little Baby from her hands and said to the visibly exhausted young woman, “You go take a shower, and I’ll have someone bring a new set of clothes for you.”

“It’s not necessary to go to all that trouble…” She was more worried about Little Baby and didn’t want to waste time on trivial matters.

Before she could finish speaking, Li Shengxiao grabbed her wrist with a

profound look in his eagle eyes, glanced over the front of her chest, and suddenly said, “Are you sure you want to walk around in front of me wearing see-through clothes?”

“…What see-through clothes?”

Rong Yan, following his X-ray-like gaze, looked down at herself—

Oh no, just how thin was the material of this dress? Wet, it had this effect – it was practically like lingerie! Had she been in the bathroom with him for nearly half an hour dressed like this?!

Rong Yan’s face instantly turned as red as a boiled shrimp, hastily covering her chest where the lace of her bra was showing. Too embarrassed to meet the tall man’s gaze, she ran toward the bathroom as if her rear were on fire, “I’m going to take a shower!”

Li Shengxiao watched her flurry into the bathroom, then walked to the living room and picked up the internal line phone from the sofa, instructing the person on the other end, “Bring a new set of clothes in. Also, go…”

After making arrangements, he hung up the phone.

It was at this moment that Gu Ming knocked and entered.
