Flower City's Peerless Divine Doctor

"Li Chen, wait a second... I still have something important to tell you, hmm!"

Feeling the hand that had slipped into her checked shirt caress her, Yuan Qingying was close to dying of embarrassment, her face flushed as she huffed indignantly.

She had asked Li Chen over because there was something she had to discuss, yet before she could bring it up, they had already become intimate.

Being kissed and touched by her beloved, she felt very comfortable.

But the shyness in her heart was difficult to suppress.

"We can talk about it later!"

"Qingying, I like you, I want you, can you give yourself to me?"

Li Chen's desire had already been aroused, and he picked up Yuan Qingying at once, heading towards the bed.

Ever since he first saw the Ice Beauty Senior Sister, he had been attracted to her tall figure and cool, aloof face.

However, he never imagined she would like him back.

Last time they were here, their relationship had already become much closer.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Now, looking at her blushing, beautiful face and the long, straight legs clad in jeans, he couldn't hold back any longer.

She was just too beautiful!

And so shy, too.

At twenty-eight, she had never even been in love. Her emotional experience was a blank slate.

No man could resist a woman like this.

"Li Chen, no... we can't..."

Your adventure continues at empire

Yuan Qingying was laid on the bed and, sensing Li Chen's hand reaching down below, she shook her head abruptly.

"Hmm?"

Li Chen was taken aback for a moment, "Qingying, haven't you decided yet?"

It was a surprise; last time she had silently agreed, but today she was resisting so much.

"No... it's not that... it's just not a good time today, and it won't be for a few days..."

"Then..."

Li Chen hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly paused, "Are you on your period?"

His hand had already reached that private area, and the instant he touched it, he felt something bulky inside, like it was padded with something.

"Mm, it started... yesterday," Yuan Qingying admitted, her face turning crimson.

Li Chen felt as though a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and he was utterly deflated.

"Li Chen, are you mad?" Seeing the disheartened look on Li Chen's face, Yuan Qingying asked cautiously.

"No!"

Li Chen quickly adjusted his mood and said with a cheerful smile, "Qingying, I really want to be with you, but I like you just the same! I am very happy just holding you like this."

He wrapped his arms around her tall frame and greedily took a deep breath.

Seeing that Li Chen seemed to genuinely not mind, Yuan Qingying let her guard down and slowly said, "The reason I wanted to see you was actually to pay back some money. I got my paycheck a few days ago, and I want to start by returning four thousand to you. I'll pay you back in installments like this every month, okay?"

Li Chen was dumbfounded; he had not at all expected that she wanted to see him for this reason.

He had some idea about hospital salaries.

Giving him four thousand meant barely anything would be left after paying for rent and utilities.

"Qingying, you really don't have to do this, given our relationship..."

"No, I like you for you, and the money I owe you is a separate matter. We can't mix the two. I am already very grateful that you were willing to lend me money to save my dad, and I can't owe you more on top of that."

Yuan Qingying's stance was resolute.

Watching this strong-willed woman, Li Chen found he could say nothing more.

In this age, gold-diggers and women looking for a man to foot their bills were not uncommon, but to come across such a clear stream was truly rare.

His feelings were complex.

This was her dignity.

If he insisted now, it would only trample on her dignity.

Yet he didn't want to take the money. He didn't want her to live tightly, compromising herself for this.

"Qingying, that's not what I mean! I don't need the money right now, so how about you save it up and give it to me all at once later?" Li Chen could only come up with an excuse for now.

"But..."

"No buts..."

Li Chen, with a stern face, cut off what she was about to say.

Afterward, they hugged and chatted for a while. During the conversation, Yuan Qingying repeatedly brought up Xu Jia, feeling that Teacher Xu had somehow changed recently, and she asked Li Chen if he knew what was going on.

Of course, Li Chen knew, but what could he say? He had to give vague answers and skirt around the topic.

During lunch, after hesitating for a while, he said, "Qingying, what if I rent a new place for you? Your place is a bit out of the way, and it's inconvenient for work, too."

Since he had gotten two hundred thousand from Ye Shiman and another million for treating Chen Yaohui, he was now quite well-off.

He really didn't want this immensely strong woman to continue to put herself through this.

Yuan Qingying lifted her head and watched him for a moment.

"I know you mean well, but I can't accept it."

"I like you, and it has nothing to do with money. If you help me too much, I really wouldn't know how to feel about you anymore. So please, don't pressure me, okay? Besides, I think things are quite good as they are now!"

Li Chen sighed quietly.

He had anticipated this response, but still wanted to give it a try.

It seemed he would have to find another way next time.

"Then let's go out for a stroll later! No refusals!"

Yuan Qingying finally agreed to go for a walk after Li Chen insisted.

She chose some affordable shops, and Li Chen didn't push for more.

He bought her some clothes and cosmetics.

From that delicate face, Li Chen could tell she was still a bit happy, and he felt somewhat consoled.
