Chapter 7: A Doctor's Benevolence _1

"A million?" The young clerk almost ground his teeth to pieces when he heard this.

He knew Xu Lele was from a wealthy family, always adorned with designer clothes, but he had never imagined she could casually offer a million yuan just like that.

All he could do was lament his own lack of skill; if he could cure the illness himself, he would be set for life without a worry.

Yet Ye Ming remained calm and collected as ever, with an air of reluctance that made it even more infuriating to the onlooker.

For Ye Ming, with his abilities, there would be many more millions waiting for him.

Seeing Ye Ming still hesitant, Xu Lele made a sweeping gesture, "I'll add another two hundred thousand."

"Miss Xu, you can't be deceived by him, all this money..." The young clerk wanted to say more, but Xu Lele cut him off, "One point five million!"

By now, Ye Ming had run out of reasons to refuse.

Just as he was about to agree, a commotion suddenly erupted from outside, "Le Le, have you lost your mind?"

Ye Ming turned around to see that it was Xia Ningning.

Xia Ningning had heard the whole conversation, and she felt utterly helpless.

They had agreed to just test Ye Ming and use the opportunity to call off the engagement, but to her surprise, Xu Lele had got deeply involved and was now offering a high price for Ye Ming to treat her, which was utterly irrational.

Xia Ningning stepped between them, frowning as she questioned Xu Lele, "Didn't we agree? You were supposed to test him, how could you..."

"I only took the time to park the car, and you let him bewitch you? No matter what, I won't let him touch you!"

Xu Lele's face was full of grievance; she just wanted to get back to normal.

Moreover, after a brief exchange, Xu Lele realized that Ye Ming wasn't as despicable as Xia Ningning had made him out to be; he was different from the good-for-nothing she had described.

At this point, she trusted her own judgment even more.

"Ningning, you might as well wait outside for me, I know what I'm doing," Xu Lele said with a playful smile, leaving Xia Ningning at a loss for words.

Their original plan was completely disrupted, and Xia Ningning looked at Xu Lele's attitude feeling quite helpless.

If Ye Ming really could concoct some kind of love potion, and Xu Lele got bewitched, how could they possibly call off the engagement?

But Xu Lele's unwavering determination left Xia Ningning unsure of how to persuade her, and ultimately she let her have her way.

"Forget it, I give up on you," Xia Ningning said, sitting to one side huffily, her eyes locked on Ye Ming as if she were watching a thief.

Seeing how familiar the two women were with each other, Ye Ming fell into contemplation, sensing something but not stating it outright.

All he said was, "Miss Xu, I expect my patients to have complete confidence in me; otherwise, I won't proceed."

Xu Lele nodded eagerly, "I believe in you, I really believe in you, and as long as you cure me, I will definitely pay!"

After a moment's thought, Ye Ming spoke decisively, "All right then, let's begin. However, we'll need a private space, without the presence of others."

This was an excellent opportunity to make money—more than a million, he thought, and it would be foolish not to take advantage. So Ye Ming decided to take action.

But his words subtly targeted the young clerk standing nearby.

"Are you saying I should leave?" The young clerk asked, baffled, "Are you kidding me? This is our turf!"

Xu Lele gave him a sweet smile, "Young man, please excuse us for a while, thank you."

After a comment like that, what more could the young clerk do? He could only walk off to the back, seething with anger, yet he didn't forget to pull down a curtain.

After finishing all of this, Ye Ming then said, "Miss Xu, your ailment is in your chest area, so I'm going to need you to take off your clothes, otherwise, it will hinder my treatment."

Upon hearing this, Xu Lele's face immediately turned a shade of red.

"This..."

Xu Lele hadn't said anything yet when Xia Ningning had already stood up, "Ye Ming, I think you're just letting lust get the better of you and want to take the opportunity to treat her illness as a chance to take advantage of her!"

"And you're using such a righteous excuse!"

Ye Ming didn't explain and couldn't be bothered to explain.

Xu Lele hesitated for only a moment, then shyly nodded her head, "But you must not take advantage of me!"

Xia Ningning felt her blood pressure rising continuously, the clothes are already off, isn't that taking advantage?

But she knew in her heart that once Xu Lele had set her mind on something, not even nine bulls could pull her back; reluctantly, she could only watch her best friend jump into the fire pit step by step.

At the same time, she was also secretly relieved that she had already called off her engagement, otherwise, she would also have been defiled by such scum in the future!

Ye Ming said earnestly, "Medicine is an act of compassion, to me you are just a patient and nothing more."

Xu Lele responded with an "Mhm," and obediently took off her top.

The pink bra and slightly full figure were now fully exposed to Ye Ming's gaze.

Ye Ming felt his mouth go dry, and his old face turned red.

Though he had said that, this was after all his first time treating someone, and it was impossible not to be moved, especially when Xu Lele was so attractive with fair and tempting skin.

Just to calm his mind, it took him a very long time.

Ye Ming took a deep breath, then placed his hand on Xu Lele's chest and began to feel carefully.

He wasn't wrong in his assessment, there was indeed a blockage of blood and Qi in Xu Lele's chest.

Having been plagued by illness for a long time, Xu Lele had a great amount of toxins accumulated within her body that she couldn't expel, deeply rooted in her bones.

At this moment, Ye Ming closed his eyes, trying to concentrate, summoning his Inner True Qi.

A strand of True Qi, thin as a hair, emerged from his palm and entered Xu Lele's body.

The whole process was something only Ye Ming could feel.

Xu Lele just felt a scalding touch, followed by an unprecedented sense of relief sweeping through her body.

In that moment, her breathing became smooth, the discomfort that had accompanied her for so long vanished like smoke, as if a long-carried heavy bag had suddenly been put down.

That sensation made her involuntarily close her eyes and let out a moan of enjoyment.

Xia Ningning's eyes were about to pop out of her head, she was itching to step forward and stop it, but her rationality ultimately prevailed.

As long as this was over, Xu Lele would realize Ye Ming was teasing her, and the breaking off of the engagement would follow naturally, though at a great cost.

Xu Lele was still immersed in that state, but after a moment, she felt as though she was walking barefoot on clouds, a marvelous feeling as if she were dreaming.

At the crucial moment, Xu Lele suddenly opened her eyes wide, broke free from Ye Ming's hand, got dressed, and ran out.

After she left, Xia Ningning seized the opportunity, came up to Ye Ming and said, "You filthy rogue, you're going to pay for this!"
