Chapter 235: Don’t Love Me, It’s Pointless
Tang Shishi waved her hand in front of Le Wen’s eyes: “What are you thinking about?”
Le Wen came to her senses, frowning: “Miss, Mr. Xiao is going to do acupuncture on you tomorrow. I heard that many acupuncture points are in very private areas, so… you might be seen naked by Mr. Xiao tomorrow.”
Tang Shishi was stunned for a moment, then comforted herself: “Doesn’t matter. He’s a doctor, and there’s no distinction between men and women in a doctor’s eyes.”
“But he’s not a formal doctor.”
“Right.” Tang Shishi’s fair face flushed, “Go ask Dad where he’s going to use the needles first.”

The next day.
Xiao Shun got up around eight o’clock, washed up, and went downstairs for lunch before heading to the Tang family’s residence.
At the same time, at Pearl International, today was the day Yao Zhenshu promised Yao Cen’s family to gather the Yao family’s descendants in the ancestral home, announcing Yao Jianguo’s family’s return to the Yao clan genealogy.
Liu Yunxiang dressed up early in the morning, put on makeup, and watched TV dramas leisurely after breakfast.
Yao Jianguo took the day off. Although he claimed not to care about these superficial matters, he was secretly delighted.
Yao Cen still had an ethereal demeanor, and seemed to have changed a little since Xiao Shun had changed, smiling more and not as cold as before. She wore a khaki waistcoat, a white turtleneck sweater that accentuated her flawless face, tight black jeans, with her hair up in a bun, looking neat and tidy.
“Mom, it’s 8:30. We should leave. If we’re late, people will say we’re putting on airs,” Yao Cen reminded Liu Yunxiang while checking her watch.
“What’s the rush? It’s your Grandpa Zhenshu who invited us back, not us begging to return. Can’t I put on airs? What can they do to me?” Liu Yunxiang said casually.
Yao Cen exchanged a helpless glance with Yao Jianguo.
Yao Jianguo was also at a loss.
“What a pity Xiao Shun isn’t home today. Otherwise, we could show them how successful our son-in-law is,” Liu Yunxiang continued to complain, “Why did you arrange for him to go on a business trip at such a crucial time? Now he’s gone for several days. In the future, try not to send him away. There are so many employees in the company, why only rely on him?”
“Also, letting a man go so far away, not under our watch, what if he gets other ideas? You won’t be able to see it.”
Yao Cen rolled her eyes: “Fine, Xiao Shun is your son, and I’m the daughter you picked up from the street, okay?”
“Nonsense, am I not right?” Liu Yunxiang glared at her.
It wasn’t until after nine o’clock that Liu Yunxiang finally got up to leave. Yao Cen originally wanted to drive the Audi A4, as the R8 was too high-profile, but Liu Yunxiang insisted on using it. Today was her day to hold her head high, so why be low-key?
Left with no choice, Yao Cen could only follow her instructions and drive the two of them to the Yao family’s ancestral home in the R8.
…
In Tang Shishi’s boudoir, after asking Tang Li, she learned that the acupuncture points that needed treatment were mostly on her hands and feet, except for a relatively private one under her armpit. Tang Shishi finally put her mind at ease.
She had deliberately worn a gray cashmere camisole today, leaving her round and fair shoulders exposed to the air. Her soft coffee-colored hair lazily draped over her shoulders, framing her delicate and charming face, full of allure.
“Lie down,” Xiao Shun’s heart rate increased inexplicably, and he cleared his throat.
Tang Shishi’s eyes darted quickly at him, blushing slightly. Fortunately, Le Wen was present, so the atmosphere didn’t become too intimate.
Xiao Shun took out a fine needle and disinfected it. Following the order of treatment given to Tang Li, he had to start with the acupoint under her armpit, which meant that they inevitably had to be very close.
As Xiao Shun leaned in slightly, a faint fragrance filled his nostrils, causing his mind to waver. His gaze unintentionally lingered on Tang Shishi’s fullness for half a second before he heard Le Wen giggling, “You pervert!”
Xiao Shun glanced at her, scaring her into silence.
He then focused on slowly inserting the needle into the acupoint. Spiritual energy flowed along the needle and into the acupuncture point. Tang Shishi immediately felt a warm and gentle sensation coursing through her meridians towards her heart. It was a bit itchy and a bit numb, but very comfortable.
She hadn’t expected him to be so skilled.
Her beautiful eyes couldn’t help but study Xiao Shun’s face, not really that handsome but with clearly defined features. She became lost in thought.
Xiao Shun noticed her gaze and looked at her. Tang Shishi quickly looked away, a blush spreading across her face.
Next were the points on her foot.
Tang Shishi’s feet were beautiful, slender and delicate. When Xiao Shun cradled her lovely foot in his palm, her body tensed involuntarily, and an odd sensation surged through her entire body, like a current passing through her meridians, indescribable.
No one had touched her feet like this since she was about ten years old, let alone a man holding her foot so brazenly.
“Relax, there are many acupuncture points on the foot, and it’s easy to touch sensitive points,” Xiao Shun said with a smile.
Tang Shishi blushed and nodded slightly.
Xiao Shun could tell that her poisoning wasn’t too deep; two acupuncture treatments and a few doses of herbal medicine would soon clear it up.
He quickly inserted needles into a few points on Tang Shishi’s foot, his technique skilled and efficient.
Tang Shishi and Le Wen watched, dumbfounded – so this was how acupuncture could be done?
Finally, it was time for the points on her hand, and he quickly inserted the needle into the corresponding points.
“Done. Just wait a moment, and they can be removed,” he said with a light laugh, wiping his hands.
“Didn’t expect you to be quite good at these stuff, huh?” Tang Shishi looked at him.
“So your one billion was well spent,” Xiao Shun replied with a faint smile.
“You shameless quack,” Tang Shishi shot him a glance.
“Watch your words; your life is in my hands now. If I’m unhappy and shake my hand, who do you think you can turn to?” Xiao Shun said.
As he spoke, he deliberately shook his hand.
“I’m finding you more and more interesting,” Tang Shishi said, raising an eyebrow, her eyes revealing a hint of interest.
“Don’t fall in love with me; it won’t end well,” Xiao Shun said, not looking up.
“Hmph!” Tang Shishi rolled her eyes at him.
“Nonsense!”
