As soon as Gu Jingxiao finished speaking, the air in the consultation room seemed to freeze instantly.

Lu Yao suddenly opened her eyes wide, staring incredulously at the doctor opposite her who still wore a gentle smile, thinking she was hallucinating.

I'm not sure if I misunderstood what he meant.

"I know that this is something that Ms. Lu Yao may find difficult to accept at first, but this is currently the best treatment for Mr. Xie. Of course, you have the right to refuse, and we will think of other ways. I believe Mr. Xie will understand."

Gu Jingxiao seemed to sense her predicament and was unwilling to force her.

This made it difficult for Lu Yao to refuse directly.

Fu Ciyan looked at Gu Jingxiao, whose expression remained calm and who was focused on the patient: "Does Xie Linyu know that this treatment plan requires our cooperation?"

"I don't know. It's not convenient for me to tell him the specific details. This is good for his recovery. I hope that if you agree, you won't tell him this either." Gu Jingxiao stopped there, as if giving the two enough time to think.

Lu Yao pursed her lips: "If we refuse, do you have any other options?"

"Of course, this is the least harmful solution for Mr. Xie. If the two of you cannot accept it, the alternative is to increase physical therapy or arrange for professional assistants to provide him with sensory stimulation. However, the latter may cause Mr. Xie to have psychological resistance, which is not good for him, because I know he has always been very resistant to walking marriage."

"Generally, people like this have high psychological defenses. If they can easily accept being touched by outsiders, they will not oppose the walking marriage matchmaking."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao understood what Gu Jingxiao's treatment plan was all about. If they were willing to cooperate, then the proportion of physical therapy would be reduced; if they were unwilling, then the proportion of physical therapy would be increased.

Even the gentlest physical therapy will inevitably cause some harm to the body.

As for Gu Jingxiao's later mention of arranging professional support staff, considering Xie Linyu's proud personality—he would rather pay a high penalty for breach of contract than accept the arrangement of a walking marriage—it's believed that he also wouldn't accept such professional support staff.

Lu Yao subconsciously looked at Fu Ciyan.

The man was also gazing tenderly at her. Meeting her gaze, Fu Ciyan said, "I'm fine with anything, it's up to you, but I hope you won't compromise yourself."

There was something he didn't say: whether Xie Linyu lived or died, or whether he could regain his normal virility, he didn't care at all.

If it weren't for wanting to appease Lu Yao and lessen her guilt, he would never have cared about Xie Linyu's life or death.

Gu Jingxiao wisely refrained from making a sound to disturb them at this crucial moment.

Lu Yao's fingers unconsciously curled slightly. She took a deep breath, looked up at Gu Jingxiao, and asked with a hint of nervousness in her voice, "Dr. Gu, how exactly do we do this 'sensory feedback training'? Is it necessary every day?"

"Ms. Lu, there's no need to be nervous. We have a specific procedure for this. In the early stages, it doesn't need to be done every day. We'll maintain a frequency of about 2-3 times a week, and then adjust it based on his recovery progress after a month."

"Actually, you don't need to worry about these things too much. You and General Fu have to fulfill your duties as partners every day. It's okay to let some information out of the public occasionally. It shouldn't be too difficult."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yao's cheeks involuntarily flushed: "Okay, I think I understand. We... will try our best to cooperate."

"If Miss Lu Yao feels embarrassed, this matter can be left to General Fu to handle. I believe General Fu will not mind such a thing."

Fu Ciyan met Gu Jingxiao's seemingly gentle but actually mocking gaze and replied indifferently, "I don't mind, but Dr. Gu, are you sure this will help Xie Linyu?"

"Although I am an expert in this field, I am not a miracle doctor. As for whether it will be effective, let's look at the data in a month. Before that, I cannot make any promises to you."

Lu Yao was still somewhat dazed when she came out of Gu Jingxiao's consultation room.

She mainly didn't expect that accompanying Xie Linyu to the doctor would involve their affairs in the treatment plan.

Lu Yao felt embarrassed at the thought of needing their assistance in treatment.

But it seems that only she herself is embarrassed.

Considering this open-minded worldview, this kind of thing doesn't seem like a big deal after all.

Xie Linyu, who was sitting on a bench outside, stood up when he saw them come out: "What did Dr. Gu say to you?"

Lu Yao's heart tightened. Just as she was about to make up an excuse, Fu Ciyan spoke up: "If you cooperate actively, there's still a good chance of recovery. Let's go. Are you moving in today, or in a few days?"

Xie Linyu raised an eyebrow: "There's no time like the present, let's do it today. General Fu shouldn't mind my interruption."

"Of course I don't mind." Fu Ciyan said calmly, even with a hint of a smile. "There are plenty of guest rooms at home, and I hope you'll get used to it."

The thought of having to "show affection" in front of Xie Linyu every day from now on made Fu Ciyan's initial reservations vanish when Gu Jingxiao proposed the treatment plan, leaving only eagerness to try it out.

I just hope that Xie Linyu won't take the initiative to leave when the time comes.

As Lu Yao watched the two of them go back and forth, a strange feeling welled up in her heart. She felt that there was something odd about the atmosphere between the two of them.

Back in the car, Lu Yao had composed herself: "Is there anything you need that we can give you on the way?"

"No need, Xiao Chen will bring it over later."

"That's fine too." Lu Yao nodded and didn't say anything more. After that, the carriage fell into an eerie silence.

None of the three made a move to break the silence.

As the car pulled into the villa, Xie Linyu raised an eyebrow: "You've changed your place of residence?"

"If you don't get a change, you'll have to sleep on the sofa from now on." Fu Ciyan gave him a mocking look, opened the door, and said, "You'll be staying on the third floor, in the room next to the master bedroom. The room has already been cleaned up; if you need anything, bring it yourself."

Xie Linyu casually surveyed the villa's interior, one hand in his pocket: "Is there anywhere here that I can't go?"

"Apart from the master bedroom, you can stay anywhere you like, but apart from your assistant, I don't want you to bring anyone else back." After Fu Ciyan finished speaking, he beckoned him over and registered his fingerprints. "This villa is currently registered under Yao Yao's name, so we are living in her house."

Xie Linyu chuckled, "It's rare to see you so generous. If Miss Lu Yao likes these things, I can certainly afford to give them to her."

Is it worth showing off like this?

"In what capacity are you sending this?" Fu Ciyan's question instantly froze the smile on Xie Linyu's face.

Fu Ciyan turned away from him and walked over to Lu Yao, who was hiding her embarrassment by drinking water.

Seeing him approach, Lu Yao instinctively handed him the cup: "Want some... um?"

Before she could finish speaking, Fu Ciyan turned her face and kissed her.

Lu Yao's eyes widened involuntarily. Is it starting now?
