Wang Xiaoqiang saw that Tang Wan was in so much pain she was almost losing consciousness and couldn't bear to see her like this, so he said, "I can, but the effect of the treatment will be greatly reduced."

Hearing this, Liu Juyi was overjoyed and said, "That's fine, hurry, hurry and press... no... treat her."

In her urgency, Liu Juyi was speaking incoherently.

At that time, Tang Wan also let out a sigh of relief.

Seeing that neither of the women had any objections, Wang Xiaoqiang said to Liu Juyi, "First, help her to the bathroom to clean up, then support her to the bedroom and lay her on the bed after removing her outer clothing, and then lie down flat."

Upon hearing this, Liu Juyi did not dare delay, and immediately supported Tang Wan to the bathroom to clean up. She then brought her to the bed in her fragrant boudoir and removed her outer dress for her.

Wang Xiaoqiang followed in, and within the fragrant bedroom, on a large bed, lay a body with an exquisite and flawless figure, pale and smooth like jade, and as silky as cream,

Even Wang Xiaoqiang felt his breath quicken.

To distract himself, Wang Xiaoqiang looked around the room and noticed several Western oil paintings on the walls. They were somewhat similar to the oil paintings in Yao Baiyu's room... they were classic Western oil paintings.

Classic oil paintings result from the simultaneous, comprehensive use of various elements of oil painting language, but artists from different countries and periods have emphasized certain elements, shaping different styles. Artists from the Italian Renaissance era focused heavily on the use of chiaroscuro, with the dark areas of the paintings uniformly shrouded in shadow, and the transitions between light and dark being soft, creating a cohesive and unified effect. Leonardo da Vinci's "Madonna of the Rocks" is a representative piece of this style. Artists from the Netherlands during the same period detailed every part of their objects, with differences between objects being in color rather than transitions of light and dark. Rogier van der Weyden's triptych "Annunciation" meticulously depicted all the objects inside and outside a room. Titian from Italy was the first to especially emphasize the expressive power of color in painting. He painted on a dark base and often used bright colors with close luminance but slightly varied hues to create a resplendently golden tone. The multiple layers of transparent pigments and the uneven application of paint blended color with form organically, creating a tactile effect.

Wang Xiaoqiang rolled up his sleeves, walked to the front of the bed, and said to Liu Juyi, "All right, you can go out now."

"What?" Liu Juyi's eyes widened, as she pointed at her own nose and said, "I, I have to go out too?"

"Yes," Wang Xiaoqiang said decisively.

"Why... why?" Liu Juyi felt that this request was a bit excessive and somewhat strange. She was very puzzled.

"Having you here will affect my concentration. This soft-hand technique must be done in one go, without the slightest mishap, otherwise it will fail."

Though she was reluctant, after hearing this, Liu Juyi had no choice but to obediently leave the room. Before she left, she whispered in Wang Xiaoqiang's ear, "Don't you take advantage of her, otherwise, I won't forgive you."

"Don't worry," Wang Xiaoqiang said earnestly: "I am a doctor now, and even the most beautiful woman in front of me is just a patient."

Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang speak in such a manner, Liu Juyi felt a bit more at ease and started walking toward the door.

Wang Xiaoqiang reminded her, "Don't forget to close the door."

"What... What?" Liu Juyi felt a surge of jealousy in her heart, "And now we have to close the door? This..." Although she was very reluctant, for the sake of her old classmate's safety, she obediently complied.

With the door shut, the spacious bedroom was left with only two people. Tang Wan, dressed in a bikini, lay on the bed, gripping the sheets tightly to suppress the waves of pain coming from her abdomen. With her eyes closed, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, whether from pain or humiliation was unclear.

"Don't be nervous," Wang Xiaoqiang said as he extended his hand and started to massage her Sea of Qi acupoint while speaking in a soothing tone. At this time, it was crucial not to burden the patient psychologically; if she became too tense, the effectiveness of the treatment would be greatly reduced.

But Tang Wan was still tense, her body as rigid as a bow.

To help her relax, Wang Xiaoqiang tried to distract her by softly explaining the cause of her illness and the treatment method:

"Tang Wan, your condition appears to be due to a long period of hormonal imbalance causing menstrual disorders, but in fact, it is a classic case of Liver Qi Stagnation resulting in a disharmony of Qi and blood. In Western medicine, this is clinically treated as nothing more than a menstrual disorder. If it doesn't improve, they'd label it as 'intractable,' saying things like 'intractable menstrual disorder.' For example, some diseases that Western medicine cannot solve often get prefixed with 'neurogenic,' like 'neurogenic headache,' 'neurogenic heart disease,' and so on. However, to Chinese medicine, these aren't serious illnesses at all."

At this point, Wang Xiaoqiang's fingers moved downward, causing Tang Wan's heart to thrash nervously as they reached three inches below her belly; this spot was the Guanyuan Acupoint.

His fingers worked steadily, massaging as Wang Xiaoqiang continued, "Of course, Chinese medicine can solve this kind of illness, but it can only provide temporary relief, not a lifetime cure. So, who can resolve your illness completely? Not me, nor any other doctor, but yourself."

Hearing this, Tang Wan became curious, yet she did not voice her questions. At that moment, she was surprised to find that her abdomen no longer hurt. As his fingers pressed down, she also felt a warmth in her belly.

"In olden times, it was said that the four vices of life were wine, women, wealth, and anger—the most harmful to the body. The fragrance of wine weakens one's will, temptation by beauty captivates the heart, greed clouds the mind, and anger could shatter mountains... From these adjectives, it's clear that 'anger' or 'fury' is the most harmful. It poses the greatest danger to the human body. Didn't Zhou Yu from the Three Kingdoms die from anger? It is sinister not only because it damages the body, but also because anger can't be stopped. Once a person starts to get angry, it's hard to cease, involuntarily flaring up and running wild, unable to control oneself. Compared to fury, the first three are naturally much less harmful. First, alcohol—in moderation can actually be beneficial for health. As for lust... cough cough... when we talk about temptation by beauty, this doesn't just refer to women but to men as well. Empress Wu favored her male entertainers, Empress Dowager Cixi disrupted the imperial harem with her affairs—these instances show the allure towards men. Although it's said that 'all evil starts with lust,' this isn't entirely true because desire can be beneficial to the body..."

Upon hearing this, two blushes stealthily climbed up Tang Wan's cheeks. A pure maiden, treated by a man and having to listen to his lectures on wine, women, wealth, and anger, would naturally feel embarrassed and flushed.

Wang Xiaoqiang, engrossed in his massage and lecture, did not notice the change in Tang Wan's complexion. He spoke with great enthusiasm, "Intimate relations between men and women can cure many chronic diseases, delay aging. For men, it can lower the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; for women, it's even more important. First of all, gynecological diseases sometimes stem from unhealthy sexual relations, but can also be resolved through healthy sexual activities. Regular and healthy sexual relations can indeed treat gynecological conditions... Of course, if sexual relations are too frequent, men damage their essence and women their blood, which is detrimental to the body. However, compared to anger, the damage to the body from sexual activities is much less because physical exhaustion will naturally end the act..."

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, his saliva flew everywhere. Below him, Tang Wan was blushing with embarrassment. Outside, Liu Juyi was overwhelmed with shame.

In fact, after leaving the room, she had been guarding the door, never straying far; the presence of her beloved man and her friend alone in a room was unsettling to her!

She quietly listened for any unusual sounds coming from the bedroom, ready to burst in at the slightest hint of trouble.

At this moment, she perked her ears, pressing them against the door, wishing she could seep through it as she faintly heard Wang Xiaoqiang discussing something about "relations between men and women." Now, the mere mention of men and women together was far too sensitive for her!

"As for wealth..." Inside the bedroom, Wang Xiaoqiang's fingers moved down another inch on the skin, to the Middle Extremity Acupoint located four inches below the belly. His fingers pressed as he continued, "Now, let's talk about the harm wealth can bring to a person. There's a saying: 'Men die for wealth, as birds die for food.' Just like the song by Chi-self-strength, money is a knife that kills without blinking. Indeed, wealth is the third most harmful thing to human health. There are many who spend the first half of their lives desperately making money, only to lie in hospital beds spending money during the second half... Tang Wan, when I said that the person who can cure your illness is yourself, I'm sure you no longer disagree, right? If I'm not guessing wrong, you've been involved with alcohol, wealth, and anger, but you've omitted desire. As the president of Tang Clan, it's inevitable that you would have social engagements, right? You have to attend banquet tables whether you want to or not, you have to drink even if you don't want to, and sometimes drinking less isn't an option; having someone drink for you appears insincere, and drinking too much naturally harms the body. Admittedly, you don't lack money, but the thousands of staff at Tang Clan do need money. You can't just abandon a large division and not care at all, can you? You have to continue to work hard to make money for their sake, so continue on, and it's strange if that doesn't harm your body..."
