"That's right, right here in your office," Chen Xuan said with a continuing smile.
Shen Binglan's face was filled with astonishment. She had assumed that curing her illness would definitely require all sorts of medical equipment and tools, but the CEO's office didn't even have a first aid kit. How was Chen Xuan going to treat her?
Anticipating her question, Chen Xuan smiled and explained, "President Shen, I only need to place my palm on your lower abdomen to begin the treatment."
"Pervert!" Hearing Chen Xuan's teasing remark, Shen Binglan's pretty face turned frosty as she raised her delicate hand to slap him across the face.
Chen Xuan grabbed her wrist and said, "Calm down! The treatment I'm talking about is real, I'm not joking with you!"
"Hmph, nobody would believe that kind of method is a medical treatment. You scumbag just want to take advantage of me!" Two beams of cold light shot from Shen Binglan's eyes, as if she wanted to tear Chen Xuan to pieces.
Releasing her hand, Chen Xuan retorted unhappily, "Believe it or not, but you're my cash cow right now. Do you really think I'd go against money?"
This statement instantly calmed Shen Binglan down. She was not an unreasonable woman. Chen Xuan was right; he wasn't actually stupid enough to throw away two million just to cop a feel.
Besides, Chen Xuan had seen right through her condition at a glance, so perhaps the treatment method he mentioned was truly just as miraculous.
Yet, the thought of letting Chen Xuan place his palm on such an intimate area as her lower abdomen still made her feel deeply embarrassed for the moment.
After a brief internal struggle, Shen Binglan took a deep breath, sat back down on the sofa, and said in a calm tone, "Then let's begin."
Seeing that Shen Binglan had finally made up her mind, Chen Xuan breathed a silent sigh of relief. He had been genuinely afraid she would refuse the treatment, causing his two million to fly away before he even got his hands on it.
As he sat down close to Shen Binglan's body, Chen Xuan could feel her waist stiffening as if reacting to a reflex.
"President Shen, please undo the bottom button of your shirt." Chen Xuan unceremoniously began issuing orders.
Blushing, Shen Binglan hesitated and asked, "Do I have to undo it?"
"Treating you through clothing will drastically reduce the effectiveness. At that rate, it might take ten years to cure," Chen Xuan said, unable to hold back a chuckle when he saw that even a strong-willed career woman like her could act so coy.
Hearing that it might take ten years to cure, Shen Binglan's face paled a fraction, and she finally reached out to undo her shirt buttons.
Watching her unbutton them one by one, a spark of fire spontaneously ignited in the depths of Chen Xuan's heart.
Moreover, from his angle, he could see Shen Binglan's flawless profile, her slender and fair neck, and a figure that presented peaks from the front and ridges from the side.
*Two million, two million...* Thinking of all that lovely Xiao Qian, Chen Xuan forcibly suppressed the wicked thoughts in his heart.
By now, Shen Binglan had already undone the bottom three buttons of her shirt. She said coldly, "Chen Xuan, if you dare to trick me, I will kill you."
Speechless, Chen Xuan curled his lip and muttered, "You're such a gorgeous beauty, why are you always talking about killing people? You'll never get married acting like this."
"Whether I get married or not is any of your business? Chen Xuan, watch your tongue." Shen Binglan glared at him with her beautiful eyes.
Shaking his head helplessly, Chen Xuan decided not to bicker with her any further; making money was the priority.
He extended his right palm and pressed it directly against Shen Binglan's lower abdomen.
Feeling the firmness and smoothness of Shen Binglan's skin, Chen Xuan couldn't help a flutter in his heart. This beauty CEO was run ragged by official business every day, yet her skin was still maintained so well.
Shen Binglan's delicate body gave a slight shudder, and two patches of a blush naturally blossomed on her face. Here she was, engaging in such intimate contact in her office with a man she was meeting for the very first time.
If any of her subordinates happened to walk in and see this, she wouldn't be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
At this thought, Shen Binglan couldn't help but grow nervous.
"President Shen, please relax." Chen Xuan's voice rang out beside her ear, mingled with his robust masculine aura, making her feel even more uncomfortable.
By now, Chen Xuan had reined in his wandering thoughts. A flash of golden light crossed his eyes as he activated his X-ray Vision once again!
Through Shen Binglan's skin, Chen Xuan could clearly see the cloud-like mass of dense chill qi winding around her internal organs, knotted together and refusing to disperse.
Even as the Successor of the Evil Doctor, Chen Xuan had to treat such a tricky situation with the utmost rigor.
He circulated the Unique Medical Formula, releasing an invisible current of air from his palm that slowly poured into Shen Binglan's lower abdomen.
This was the supreme immortal energy passed down to him from the Evil Doctor, capable of repairing and healing any severe injury or illness, no matter how grave. It was truly miraculous.
It was Chen Xuan's first time wielding immortal energy while simultaneously using his X-ray Vision to observe the internal condition of Shen Binglan's body, requiring him to focus a hundred and twenty percent of his attention; otherwise, a single careless mistake could end up injuring her instead.
Consequently, only a few seconds passed before a dense layer of fine sweat broke out across Chen Xuan's forehead.
Shen Binglan felt the palm pressed against her lower abdomen grow warm, continually radiating a cozy stream of air. The sensation felt so pleasant that she couldn't help but softly let out a quiet, "Mmm..."
"President Shen, you..." Hearing that ambiguous sound, Chen Xuan felt a heat flare in his chest and almost lost his grip.
Shen Binglan's earlobes turned completely red with embarrassment. She never could have imagined she would make such a shameful sound. It was all this infuriating guy's fault for making it feel so good.
"You didn't hear anything!" Shen Binglan said, gritting her teeth in a threatening tone.
Suppressing a smile, Chen Xuan replied, "Fine."
Seeing his half-smiling expression, Shen Binglan grew even more embarrassed and exasperated. With a cold snort, she simply closed her eyes.
Chen Xuan went back to pouring his full concentration into executing the Unique Medical Formula. Before he knew it, half an hour had slipped by.
When Shen Binglan felt Chen Xuan's hand leave her lower abdomen, she opened her eyes to see him leaning back against the sofa, looking utterly exhausted.
"Are you alright?" Shen Binglan asked in surprise.
"It's nothing much, just a bit too much mental exhaustion."
It was Chen Xuan's first time practicing the miraculous medical arts of the Evil Doctor, and on top of that, he had kept his X-ray Vision active for half an hour. The drain on his mental energy had indeed been severe.
Shen Binglan stood up and poured Chen Xuan a glass of purified water.
After taking a sip of water, Chen Xuan finally felt a bit better and spoke up, "President Shen, we'll need to do this treatment once every week from now on."
Hearing that she would have to endure being "touched" like that by Chen Xuan once a week, Shen Binglan's expression flickered.
Yet, she could genuinely feel that Chen Xuan's treatment was effective. Furthermore, it felt wonderful, completely devoid of the pain she had imagined.
This guy's medical skills were actually this miraculous.
"You get some rest. I'll have the HR department draft a treatment contract and pay you one-tenth of the medical fee in advance." Buttoning up her shirt once more, Shen Binglan resumed her usual icy demeanor.
A helpless smile crossed the corner of Chen Xuan's mouth. Shen Binglan really was an iceberg. Having suffered from the cold affliction for over twenty years had left her with a deep psychological aversion toward men. Even Chen Xuan, the one curing her, couldn't get a single "thank you" out of her.
"President Shen, did you practice martial arts in the past?" Chen Xuan asked casually while regulating his breathing.
Shen Binglan's delicate brows furrowed as she gave a cold snort. "Chen Xuan, you must remember that we are strictly in a doctor-patient relationship! Everything else is none of your business!"
Hearing the words "doctor-patient relationship," Chen Xuan couldn't help letting out a snort of laughter.
He could consider himself a doctor now anyway. Since he had promised to cure Shen Binglan's cold affliction, he naturally had to cure the psychological illness of men-aversion caused by it as well, lest he disgrace the name of the Evil Doctor.
Only, her psychological illness was even harder to treat than her bizarre cold affliction. Chen Xuan planned to gradually dissolve Shen Binglan's emotional knots through conversation while the treatment was ongoing.
He hadn't expected her to shut down the topic so completely, making it impossible for him to even make awkward small talk.
Even if Shen Binglan refused to talk about it, however, Chen Xuan had already seen through his X-ray Vision that this woman had definitely trained, and her martial arts skills were far from ordinary.
Otherwise, how could she have kicked a man several meters away with a single blow and put that employee in bed for three months?
"What are you laughing at?" Two cold beams shot from Shen Binglan's beautiful eyes, mixed with a trace of curiosity. "Speaking of which, you haven't answered me yet. With your level of medical skill, why would you be willing to work here as an intern?"
"I feel like it, is that not allowed?" Chen Xuan grinned, resting his hands behind his head as he reclined into a more comfortable posture.
"You!" Shen Binglan glared fiercely at Chen Xuan. This infuriating guy never had any proper posture, and there wasn't a single word of truth coming out of his mouth.
She had seen anywhere from seventy to eighty famous domestic and foreign doctors, yet not a single one possessed medical skills as superb as Chen Xuan's—especially given how young he was.
A woman's curiosity runs deep, and Shen Binglan was no exception. She found herself growing increasingly eager to know just how Chen Xuan had learned such medical arts.
Suddenly thinking of something, Shen Binglan said, "Chen Xuan, you should stop being an intern. I officially hire you as the chief physician of the Shen Corporation, with an annual salary of three million."
Three million? Chen Xuan's eyelids twitched. *Good grief,* Shen Binglan's financial offensive was simply too aggressive! Without batting an eye, she had thrown out two million for medical fees and followed it up with a three-million annual salary.
And all this just for treating her cold affliction—did she really think that highly of him?
Coughing twice, Chen Xuan asked indifferently, "What does a chief physician do? If it's too troublesome, I'm not interested."
Hearing that, Shen Binglan felt like she was about to be angered to death by this guy. A high-paying position that countless people would kill for, yet he acted like he was afraid of trouble—he truly had zero ambition.
"It won't be very troublesome. You'll just provide guidance on medical difficulties for the physicians under the corporation, and help treat stubborn ailments that the hospital can't resolve." Suppressing her anger, Shen Binglan explained slowly and evenly.
And she called that not troublesome? Chen Xuan was instantly left speechless.
