Chapter 61: Chapter 61 That Sort of Thing What Sort of Thing?
"How about it? You're not too scared to bet, are you?"
Lin Ruoxue's cherry-red, alluring lips puckered slightly, with a hint of "provocation".
"Fine, I accept, but what if I win?"
Su Chen shrugged nonchalantly, fully aware of the young lady's attempt to goad him.
"What then?"
Lin Ruoxue regarded Su Chen warily, her stomachache seemingly lessened by the distraction of his attention.
"Well," Su Chen stroked his chin, his lips revealing that rogueish grin once more, "I'll have to think about that."
"Spill it!"
Lin Ruoxue, seeing Su Chen's mischievous demeanor, felt like a little rabbit that had stumbled into a big, bad wolf's trap.
"If I win, I want you..." Su Chen paused deliberately at this point.
"No way!"
Lin Ruoxue immediately rejected outright, thinking to herself that this guy was absolutely up to no good!
"I haven't even said it yet, how can you say it's not acceptable?"
Su Chen glanced at Lin Ruoxue's stunning face and teased her playfully.
"Isn't it just that kind of thing you're talking about? Don't think I don't know! Humph!"
Lin Ruoxue huffed, silently praising herself for making him reveal his demands ahead of time—a wise move, indeed.
"What kind of thing is that? I really don't know," Su Chen leaned closer to Lin Ruoxue's face, the distance between them not even ten centimeters. Su Chen could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from Lin Ruoxue, which was very pleasant.
Naturally, Lin Ruoxue also scented the distinctive masculine aroma from Su Chen, which made her face turn red.
"Exactly what matter is it? President Lin."
Su Chen feigned ignorance as he asked, a sly twinkle in his eyes.
"It's that matter, don't play dumb!"
The closeness of the two and Su Chen's rather embarrassing question gave the atmosphere a somewhat flirtatious undercurrent.
Lin Ruoxue's heartbeat quickened, and her face grew warmer.
"I'm genuinely confused, not pretending, so please enlighten me, President Lin."
Su Chen leaned in even closer, the two now able to feel each other's breath.
"What you were talking about is surely that matter between men and women," Lin Ruoxue whispered in a flustered and panicked tone.
"The matter between men and women? What is it? I don't understand," Su Chen touched his head, looking utterly bewildered, appearing like a pure, inexperienced boy.
Su Chen displayed an innocent, aggrieved expression, as if Lin Ruoxue was bullying him, which infuriated her to the point of wanting to smack him.
"You just said, said, 'I want you'... isn't that what you meant?"
Lin Ruoxue's face flushed as she gritted her teeth to speak, feeling even more embarrassed as she uttered the words "I want you".
"As heaven is my witness," Su Chen raised two fingers towards the sky, "I really didn't mean that."
"Then what did you mean?"
Lin Ruoxue retorted irritably. Could it be that what she heard with her own ears didn't count?
"I didn't even finish my sentence, yet you jumped to conclusions," Su Chen said with some "disdain," "That only suggests that your own thoughts are unhealthy, always thinking about that sort of thing to make such an association."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ruoxue felt like spitting out a mouthful of blood. What was this scoundrel talking about?
Me, having an unhealthy mind? Me, always thinking about that kind of thing?
A flush of shame appeared on Lin Ruoxue's face, and her eyes shot towards Su Chen like sharp daggers.
"President Lin, since we've gotten the certificate, if you really wanted to exploit me, you wouldn't need to go through all this trouble—just saying the word would suffice. I could bear the hardship if necessary."
Su Chen's expression seemed somewhat valiant, like a warrior ready to face death.
Lin Ruoxue's face turned utterly dark. She wants to exploit me? And he'd bear the hardship?
Lin Ruoxue wished she had a block of tofu to smash her head against!
She never imagined her husband could be so shameless. Indeed, extreme shamelessness is invincible!
"Alright, since you say I'm taking things out of context, why don't you tell me what you were planning to say?"
Lin Ruoxue scoffed coldly. She really wanted to see what kind of ivory Su Chen could spit out of his dog's mouth!
"I hadn't thought it through yet, but since my wife has such needs, of course I should satisfy them."
That familiar mischievous smile once again spread across Su Chen's face.
At this point, Lin Ruoxue was close to tears. How did it become about her having these needs?
But facing Su Chen's smear campaign again, she felt powerless to retort, because this guy could always say something even more shameless.
Right now, all she wanted was to hear what kind of demands he would make.
"Hmm~~~"
Just then, the pain that had slightly subsided minutes ago struck fiercely again, and Lin Ruoxue couldn't help but groan in pain.
"What's the matter?" Su Chen hurried to support Lin Ruoxue's shoulder and laid her down.
"Just tell me your demand," urged Lin Ruoxue, holding her stomach.
"Forget it, you're in pain like this, we'd better hurry and treat it."
Su Chen took out a long cloth bag from his pocket and spread it out on the coffee table—it was the bag for his Silver Needles.
"No, you must say it!"
Unexpectedly, Lin Ruoxue became stubborn.
She was a person of principles. She had made a request earlier, and Su Chen hadn't yet, so naturally, she couldn't agree—it wouldn't be fair!
"Really want me to say it?"
"Hurry up."
"Alright, this is because you asked me to say it."
Su Chen leaned down and whispered a few words into Lin Ruoxue's ear.
"You, you, you, shameless!"
After hearing Su Chen's words, Lin Ruoxue's cheeks blushed intensely once again, her entire face blooming like a radiant peony!
"You asked me to say it,"
Su Chen spread his hands, nonchalantly remarking.
At that moment, Lin Ruoxue felt an even more violent spasm of pain, as if her abdomen was cramping.
"Fine, I agree!"
Lin Ruoxue gritted her teeth and stared intensely at Su Chen.
The pain in her stomach was becoming unbearable, so she quickly agreed to Su Chen's demand. She just wanted him to hurry up and save her. Even if he couldn't cure her, as long as it didn't hurt so much, that would be enough.
The main reason she agreed was actually that deep down, she didn't believe Su Chen could cure her within fifteen minutes.
Because that was simply a joke! Lin Ruoxue doubted he could cure her at all, let alone in fifteen minutes.
Lin Ruoxue believed, not even those real masters of traditional Chinese medicine could achieve this feat!
