The silence of the three women was deafening.

Su Hao looked so wronged that anyone who didn't know better would think he had suffered a great loss.

Song Xiaoxiao suppressed the urge to punch him to death and snorted, "You filthy scoundrel, stop interrupting me. I'm asking you, are you really a medical expert, or just a charlatan?"

"Have you ever seen a con artist who looks this elegant?" Su Hao said irritably.

Song Xiaoxiao facepalmed: "What the heck? Have you even been to school? 'Tingtingyuli' is a term used to describe a girl."

"Oh ho, so you're sticking to gender stereotypes? So, the adjectives 'good-looking' are only for women? Independent men also have the right to be praised!"

Song Xiaoxiao: "..."

who am I?

where am I?

He used all my words!

"Honey, you be the judge. What era are we living in? Why are there still gender-specific terms? Don't disciplined, handsome men deserve compliments?"

Looking at Su Hao's indignant expression, Li Qiuchan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Alright, Su Hao, everything that happened before was a misunderstanding. Once we clear things up, everything will be fine."

Su Hao waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, since my wife has spoken, I'll reluctantly turn a blind eye and just let her apologize to me."

"You big idiot!"

Song Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and said disdainfully, "A grown man like you standing here spouting nonsense and twisting the truth. If someone like you knew anything about medicine, I'd run three naked laps around this villa!"

Li Qiuchan's expression changed, and she was about to stop him when Su Hao spoke first: "Do you mean what you say?"

"I, Song, have always been able to take a joke and never go back on my word," Song Xiaoxiao said proudly.

"Swear it!"

"Fine, I swear. If I go back on my word, the punishment will be... my cousin's breasts will shrink by a size!"

Li Qiuchan: "???"

"You're really cruel to your cousin."

Su Hao clicked his tongue, then his gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Song Xiaoxiao, his eyes blazing.

"You pervert, what are you looking at?" Song Xiaoxiao covered her fortress and glared at Su Hao.

Su Hao didn't speak, but frowned slightly.

After a long pause, he finally said, "It's not easy for you to have survived until now."

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean? Are you cursing me to die?"

"You were born with an extremely Yin meridian, a rare and powerful Yin constitution. In your childhood, a master spent half his life's cultivation and paid a heavy price to forcibly prolong your life. Am I right?"

Song Xiaoxiao, who had been baring her teeth and claws at Su Hao, trembled upon hearing these words, and her pretty face turned pale.

This matter was extremely secret, and no one knew about it except for her and her parents. How could Su Hao see through it at a glance?

"Extreme Yin Body? What kind of illness is that?" Li Qiuchan was completely baffled.

"The body of extreme yin is not a disease, but a rare and dangerous constitution. People with the body of extreme yin have cold yin energy rooted in their meridians and eroding their internal organs. Without external intervention, they usually do not live past the age of twelve."

Su Hao slowly explained, "That expert could only forcibly extend her life by ten years, but could not cure her completely. Now, the ten-year period has reached nine years and nine months, leaving her with only three months to live."

"Xiaoxiao, is this true? How come you've never told me this before!" Li Qiuchan panicked.

Song Xiaoxiao feigned composure and retorted coldly, "Cousin, don't listen to this charlatan's alarmist talk. I'm perfectly healthy; I don't have any terminal meridian at all!"

She was unwilling to talk about her illness any further and deliberately changed the subject.

"That's enough of this farce for today. I'm going to see my grandfather."

After saying that, Song Xiaoxiao stepped out the door.

Su Hao's voice slowly sounded behind her: "It's okay to fool others, but don't fool yourself too."

"It is very painful when the extreme yin body erupts; you should have experienced it."

"I can completely cure your extreme Yin constitution, eradicate the disease at its root, and save you from death."

Song Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped, her body stiffening on the spot, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes.

Curing her terminal artery was something she had dreamed of for many years.

However, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.

Every famous doctor who claims to be able to cure the disease ends up prescribing a bunch of warming and nourishing herbal medicines to temporarily relieve the cold, without even touching the root cause of the coldness in the meridians.

Having repeatedly sought medical help with high hopes, only to be left disappointed, Song Xiaoxiao no longer dared to easily trust anyone.

She glanced back at the composed Su Hao, but ultimately suppressed her expectations, gritted her teeth, and quickly left without looking back.

"Cousin, I'll take you there later."

"No need, I've already called a car. Cousin, you can go ahead with your work."

Watching Song Xiaoxiao's retreating figure, Li Qiuchan was filled with worry.

She asked Su Hao anxiously, "My cousin...does she really only have three months left?"

"To be precise, it's two months."

Su Hao corrected, "After all, with her current physical condition, she simply cannot last the last month. In fact, if the extreme yin and cold energy erupts during this period, she may die at any time with her internal organs shattered, her meridians broken, and her blood and qi flowing backward."

"This kind of cold and damp energy is the most torturous. When it strikes, it feels like thousands of ice needles are piercing your bones. You suffer from bone-chilling pain all night long. Ordinary painkillers are completely ineffective. You suffer until your organs fail and you die a horrible death."

Li Qiuchan's eyes suddenly reddened, and her heart ached terribly.

She grabbed Su Hao's arm: "Su Hao, please save my cousin! She's so young, with such a bright future ahead of her. She shouldn't leave us like this!"

Su Hao shook his head and refused: "I have my own medical principles. I never ask people to treat me, let alone rush to save them."

"If she wants to live, she should come and beg me herself; otherwise, I will not do anything."

Li Qiuchan breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, I will definitely persuade her to come to you for treatment."

"You're so considerate of your cousin, it seems you two have a good relationship, even letting her stay in your villa."

"She's really great. We've played together since we were little, she's like a younger sister to me."

Li Qiuchan said without any attempt to hide her feelings, "She had been recuperating at home due to health reasons. I didn't expect her to suddenly come over today without even telling me. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let you have this misunderstanding."

"It's not just her, wife, is there some misunderstanding between you and me?" Su Hao changed the subject.

Li Qiuchan's first expedition.

She asked, puzzled, "What misunderstanding have we had?"

"Didn't you previously slander me, saying I was seducing a female colleague?"

"Who slandered you?"

Su Hao deliberately brought up a sore spot, and Li Qiuchan's face immediately turned cold.

She took out her phone and opened a picture.

"Tell me, how do you explain this?"

Su Hao glanced at the screen and realized it was a picture of himself and Chen Yue eating in the cafeteria. He clicked his tongue in amazement and exclaimed, "Wow, wife, you actually have a penchant for secretly taking pictures?"

Li Qiuchan's eyes darted away as she protested, "Wh...what do you mean by secretly filming! I...I'm keeping evidence so you won't deny it!"

"I admit it!"

"You just admit it like that?" Li Qiuchan's eyes widened.

No?

Admitting to having an affair in front of the wife?

What kind of thunderous statement is this?

Su Hao replied matter-of-factly, "Why wouldn't I admit it? The handsome, dashing man in the picture is indeed me!"

"..."

Li Qiuchan was amused by Su Hao's words.

"Su Hao! Stop trying to evade the main issue!"

"I'm asking you, why did you go and seduce Chen Yue when you knew you had a fiancée?"

Su Hao was taken aback, then belatedly said, "Wife, you've misunderstood me. I wasn't trying to seduce Chen Yue; I was just trying to find out about Sanbao Company from her."

This time, it was Li Qiuchan's turn to have a brain freeze.

She looked at Zhou Qian for confirmation, and Zhou Qian nodded and said, "President Li, Chen Yue's previous company was Sanbao Company, where she worked as a clerk for a year."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiuchan's fair cheeks instantly turned bright red, her face burning from her ears to her neck.

After all that, it turns out she was just being delusional, imagining a whole ambiguous drama out of thin air.

She pursed her lips, feeling a little flustered and embarrassed, but stubbornly refused to admit defeat, gritting her teeth and saying, "Well...you two didn't have to chat so happily, did you? You were laughing and talking, how would anyone know you were discussing serious work?"

Su Hao's face fell, and he put on a sorrowful expression: "So, all the hard work I put into finding out about Sanbao Company for you and helping you get payments is seen by you as me being idle and just flirting with girls?"

He sighed deeply, his face filled with despair: "I'm so pathetic. I sincerely do things for my wife, but all I get in return is misunderstanding and scolding."

Seeing Su Hao's pitiful appearance, Li Qiuchan knew she was in the wrong and softened her attitude.

"Um... I misunderstood you, I'm sorry, please forgive me~"

"It's not impossible for me to forgive you."

Su Hao pinched his chin, a half-smile on his face.

"Call me 'husband,' and I'll magnanimously move on!"
