Chapter 284: Xu Yixue Also Has a Stomachache

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

Xu Yixue watched as Xu Fan cured Little Tongtong, who had been feeling a bit of discomfort due to overeating, with just a few touches, feeling a wave of envy and resentment.

No wonder this ungrateful little girl clung to Xu Fan like a sticky candy after just a few days with him and couldn’t leave him again.

This guy’s inexhaustible tricks were too numerous to count; even Xu Yixue herself was filled with curiosity about Xu Fan’s magical medical skills.

His hands seemed to carry a kind of magic, as if all illnesses would immediately improve after his touch.

Xu Yixue still vividly remembered how Xu Fan had gently massaged her sprained ankle and it had healed as good as new, and at that time, she recalled feeling a cool sensation on Xu Fan’s hands.

It was just a casual massage, and it cured her swollen ankle; now, it was the same with just a light rub on Tongtong’s stomach, and the pain from overeating miraculously disappeared.

Thinking of this, Xu Yixue suddenly felt a twinge of pain in her lower abdomen.

“Uh… my stomach, it hurts a little…” Xu Yixue gently touched her stomach and felt a cool sensation rising up from within her lower abdomen.

Xu Yixue always avoided greasy food and carbonated drinks, especially iced carbonated drinks.

Under Xu Fan’s influence today, she ate several pieces of greasy fried chicken, and because it was a bit dry, she broke her rule and drank a cup of iced soda.

As a result, Xu Yixue, who hadn’t had iced beverages for years, had a reaction in her stomach in less than ten minutes.

“Yixue, what’s wrong?” Ye Xiaoning noticed Xu Yixue’s pained expression and asked with concern.

Ye Xiaoning had much better physical resilience than Xu Yixue, who drank water from a puddle in the wilderness while in the special forces, let alone an iced drink from KFC.

But Xu Yixue couldn’t handle it; never having the habit of drinking cold water since childhood, drinking it today caused her lower abdomen to start hurting.

“I… It’s nothing.” Xu Yixue endured the pain in her lower abdomen and barely managed to reply to Ye Xiaoning.

Only now, the pain in Xu Yixue’s lower abdomen seemed to grow more intense by the moment, and her usually rosy cheeks were now pale, with sweat beads forming on her forehead.

“Mom, what’s wrong, did you also eat too much?” Tongtong, watching Xu Yixue holding her stomach, asked with great concern.

“Tongtong, be good, Mommy is… fine.” Xu Yixue bore the pain, pretending to be alright as she replied to Tongtong, but her furrowed brows and pale face couldn’t hide the truth from Tongtong, the sharp little girl.

“Mommy, Tongtong saw you crying; don’t cry, let Tongtong massage you, okay? If I rub your tummy, it won’t hurt anymore.” Tongtong seemed to turn into a little adult, jumping off Xu Fan’s legs and immediately running to Xu Yixue’s side, extending her chubby little hands and clumsily massaging Xu Yixue’s abdomen.

“Haha, just rub it, and the stomach won’t hurt anymore; that’s what happened to Tongtong’s tummy, Daddy rubbed it, and Tongtong didn’t hurt at all.” Tongtong kept massaging Xu Yixue’s stomach while soothingly speaking to her.

Watching Tongtong act like a little grown-up, Xu Yixue’s face was filled with relief. Although the pain in her stomach was increasing, seeing her dear daughter so caring and sensible filled Xu Yixue with satisfaction, and it seemed that even the pain in her stomach eased a bit.

“Mommy? Does it still hurt?” Tongtong massaged Xu Yixue for a while and then asked with a curious face.

Tongtong was just a child, she didn’t know that a stomachache couldn’t be cured by simply rubbing it a few times, her belly got better after being rubbed a few times only because her father with his magical powers was doing the rubbing. If an ordinary person’s rubbing could cure it, then there would be no need for doctors in this world.

“My dear is so good, Mommy is now… much better… hiss…” Xu Yixue comforted Tongtong, trying to make a face as if she wasn’t in pain at all, but the pain in her lower abdomen, like a tide, hit her, and she couldn’t pretend to look normal at all.

“Whimper, Mommy’s belly still hurts, Tongtong is still too silly…” Tongtong shook her head, speaking pitifully.

“It’s okay, Mommy is much better now…” Xu Yixue said with fortitude.

Tongtong pouted, looking at Xu Yixue’s pale face, as if they were connected through mother-daughter telepathy, tears already shimmering in her eyes.

“Whimper… Daddy, please help Mommy.” Tongtong turned her head, looking pitifully at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan also felt a bit embarrassed and smiled at Xu Yixue, saying, “How about, I still help you rub… er… treat it.”

When Xu Yixue heard Xu Fan’s words, her originally pale face suddenly flushed with a hint of rosy color.

She had seen Xu Fan’s technique before; although he rubbed Tongtong’s belly, after all, Tongtong was his daughter, and as a child, there was nothing improper about it.

But for herself, as an adult, if Xu Fan’s large hand were to touch her smooth lower abdomen, just the thought of it made Xu Yixue feel like dying of shame.

“I should… just go home and take some medicine, I… I can still… endure it…” Xu Yixue, feigning strength, told Xu Fan.

Although she knew Xu Fan certainly had the ability to alleviate her current pain, the thought of her immaculate body being touched by Xu Fan made her unbearably shy, and she stubbornly refused to agree.

“Do you know what it means to conceal an illness and shun a doctor? To a physician, there are no gender differences, you can bear it now, but it will become more painful later,” Xu Fan said solemnly, seeing Xu Yixue still holding out.

“But…” Xu Yixue still wanted to object.

“There are no buts, a physician holds compassion. Since I’ve said you can eat and drink anything here freely, it’s necessary for me to help your body recover,” Xu Fan said firmly and then stood up from his seat.

“Xu Fan, you mustn’t touch me, there are so many people here!” Xu Yixue bit her lip and told Xu Fan sternly.

After all, Xu Yixue was the CEO of a large company, quite conscious of her image, and the education she has received since childhood had instilled in her an extra sense of pride.

She always had a contradictory feeling toward Xu Fan, wanting to get close yet daring not to get too close.

And when faced with Xu Fan’s approach, her heart was in even more turmoil.

“You’re in such pain, yet you still force yourself. If you don’t take care of your own body for Tongtong’s sake, then at least cherish her mother,” Xu Fan said calmly as he walked over to Xu Yixue.

After speaking, Xu Fan reached out his arms and held Xu Yixue in his embrace.
