Follow the Doctor's Orders

Su Hua frowned slightly.

She spoke again, "The meeting wasn't supposed to end so early today, but since it was almost time to leave work, I wrapped it up."

Lin Xuan nodded once more.

But... wait a minute.

Su Hua had repeated this twice, and after seeing him nod, she even frowned...

Lin Xuan tentatively said, "Su Hua, you actually didn’t work overtime today. That’s great."

"Mm." Su Hua's eyes curved into a smile.

Lin Xuan: "..."

Su Hua, I never expected you to be like this.

"Then, shouldn’t Xuan give me a reward?" Su Hua raised her delicate brows.

"What reward does Su Hua want?" Lin Xuan asked.

Su Hua extended her slender finger and lightly tapped her lips.

This was practically an open hint.

"Alright, here’s your reward." Lin Xuan, still feeling guilty about the video he’d been watching earlier, was in no position to refuse her.

Before he could even lean in to kiss her, Su Hua had already wrapped her arms around his shoulders, pressing her soft lips to his.

She kissed him tenderly yet passionately, stealing his breath away.

"Xuan..." she murmured his name between kisses, her voice muffled.

Their breathing grew ragged.

Afraid things might escalate further, Lin Xuan gently pushed her away.

"Su Hua, the food’s getting cold. Let’s go eat now," he said, averting his gaze from her flushed cheeks and tempting lips.

A playful smile flickered in Su Hua’s eyes.

"Alright, whatever Xuan says," she replied, her lips curling.

"Su Hua, I made your favorite shrimp today," Lin Xuan said. "And chicken."

He had prepared three dishes in total—all her favorites.

"No, Xuan, you’ve got it wrong. These aren’t my favorite dishes," Su Hua said with a smirk.

Lin Xuan frowned. "Then what is your favorite?"

As far as he knew, she loved these dishes.

"Me?"

Su Hua settled back onto his lap, never missing a chance to cling to him.

"My favorites are oysters... and sausages."

Her words dripped with innuendo.

Lin Xuan: "!!!"

He strongly suspected her words weren’t entirely innocent.

His expression turned complicated.

Su Hua... you’re a woman!

"Then I’ll make them for you next time," Lin Xuan quickly changed the subject. "Su Hua, let’s just eat for now."

"Then feed me," Su Hua cooed.

"Alright," Lin Xuan indulged her with a nod.

He resumed feeding her, and she obediently ate whatever he offered.

Once they were both full, they settled on the sofa.

Soon, Su Hua’s hands began wandering restlessly over Lin Xuan’s body.

Last night, blindfolding him and binding his hands and feet to the bed had been thrilling—but she hadn’t had nearly enough.

If she hadn’t been worried about exhausting him, she wouldn’t have stopped so soon.

Now that he was rested, she couldn’t resist luring him to her office under the pretense of wanting his cooking.

Su Hua was skilled, and she was the woman Lin Xuan loved most.

He couldn’t withstand her teasing for long before heat surged through him, his face tense with restraint.

Su Hua arched a brow.

Xuan’s self-control was impressive.

She wondered how long he could hold out.

Lin Xuan’s breathing grew heavier, his voice rough with desire. Just as he was about to break, he caught her hands.

"Su Hua, behave. You need to rest now."

Until her illness was cured, he couldn’t indulge in bed with her again.

"I’m not tired," Su Hua purred, her lips brushing his ear. "Don’t you want to, Xuan?"

Lin Xuan thought to himself—

Of course he did. He was a healthy man, and the woman he loved was seducing him.

But if he gave in, his kidneys would suffer.

At least until Su Hua was cured, they could finally catch a break.

In the next moment, Su Hua pinned him to the sofa.

"Su—Su Hua," Lin Xuan struggled to speak. "Jiang Qing and I have contacted a doctor. He’s highly skilled and has a way to treat your condition. But until then, you need to focus on recovering."

Su Hua froze.

Her illness... could actually be cured?

She’d had it since childhood—a condition that made her unrecognizable during episodes, forcing her to lock herself away.

She’d feared hurting Lin Xuan or scaring him, but he’d never been afraid, even when she was at her worst. Instead, he’d willingly become her "little bed slave."

Still... she worried her condition might worsen, that she’d die young or even forget him—and one day, hurt him.

Seizing her moment of distraction, Lin Xuan sat up and gently pressed her back onto the sofa.

"Su Hua, be good. Your health comes first. Once you’re cured, we can grow old together."

Besides, once she recovered, he wouldn’t have to endure being her "bed slave" during her episodes.

His kidneys couldn’t take much more.

"How does making love interfere with recovery?" Su Hua pursed her lips.

"It does!" Lin Xuan insisted solemnly. "It’s physically draining. The doctor said you shouldn’t overexert yourself."

Of course, this was a lie—there was no medical restriction. He just needed the break.

Su Hua frowned. "I don’t have to exert myself. You can do all the work."

Lin Xuan was speechless.

Finally, he sighed. "Su Hua, the doctor was clear—no intimacy. Other women don’t exert themselves either, so effort isn’t the issue. There must be a medical reason. Let’s follow his advice so treatment isn’t delayed."

His earnest expression made the lie utterly convincing.

"Fine," Su Hua grumbled.

"Good girl. It’s time to sleep now," Lin Xuan coaxed.

"Mm." She nodded reluctantly.

"Stay with me," she said.

"Alright."

Lin Xuan followed her into the bedroom.

Su Hua wrapped her arms around his waist and closed her eyes.

Lin Xuan, however, lay wide awake.

Once her breathing steadied in sleep, he carefully slipped out of bed.

He still wanted to dig into Lin Li’s drama.
