51: Chapter 51 The Mother-in-Law's Presidential Suite
Lin Fan rubbed his hands together until they were warm, then applied his God-level TCM Massage Technique, pressing his thumbs precisely onto the acupoints on Zhang Cuihua's lower back.
"Ow!" Zhang Cuihua suddenly let out a loud cry.
"Mom, keep it down. It's the middle of the night; don't wake up the guests next door," Lin Fan said, startled.
Zhang Cuihua hummed with pleasure. "What's there to fear? The soundproofing in this Presidential Suite is excellent. Your skills are truly incredible; it's both sore and tingly when you press down. It feels so good! Use more force!"
Lin Fan increased the pressure in his hands.
Right then, the system acted up again.
"Ding! Issuing a temporary interactive mission: During the massage, guide Zhang Cuihua to say 'If only I had a man like you' three times. Reward for success: Two ten-year-old Wild Ginseng roots (essential for Alchemy). Penalty for failure: The Host will become bald for one month."
Lin Fan cursed the system in his mind. What kind of crappy mission was this! Making his mother-in-law say something like that—wasn't that just wicked!
But he had no choice; becoming bald would ruin his image.
Lin Fan had no choice but to brace himself and start fishing for the words.
"Mom, how do my skills compare to those blind massages outside?" Lin Fan asked while pressing.
Zhang Cuihua closed her eyes in enjoyment. "Those people outside are nothing! Their massages just hurt me and are completely useless. When you press down, I feel like my whole body is floating."
Lin Fan followed her lead. "Then when you look for a partner in the future, you should find someone who knows how to give massages to look after you every day."
Zhang Cuihua sighed. "Forget it. How many old men nowadays understand this? If only I had a man like you, giving me massages every day, I'd wake up laughing from my dreams."
Once!
Lin Fan rejoiced in his heart and continued to set the trap.
He pushed his hands up along her spine and pressed on Zhang Cuihua's shoulders and neck.
"Mom, your shoulders are very stiff too. How about I teach you a few moves? You can go back and teach your old sisters so you can massage each other?"
Zhang Cuihua waved her hand repeatedly. "How could these old bones of mine learn this? I wouldn't feel comfortable with others massaging me anyway. Sigh, if only I had a man like you, I wouldn't have to worry about anything."
Twice!
Only one last time to go.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, exerted sudden force with both hands, and pressed on two major acupoints on Zhang Cuihua's waist.
Zhang Cuihua's body stiffened, and she let out an extremely high-pitched cry.
"Ah! That feels so good! Lin Fan, you're amazing! If only I had a man like you!"
Three times! Done!
The system notification sounded: "Ding! Mission complete. Two ten-year-old Wild Ginseng roots have been placed in the System Inventory."
Lin Fan let out a long sigh of relief and quickly let go.
"Mom, that's about enough for the massage. You should get some rest; I have to head back," Lin Fan said as he untied the belt from his arm, preparing to make a quick escape.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang" as the door to the Presidential Suite was kicked open from the outside.
Chen Sisi stood at the door, panting, with a room card in her hand. She had been too worried to stay away, so she went to the front desk, claimed to be Zhang Cuihua's daughter, and insisted on a spare room card. As soon as she reached the hallway, she heard Zhang Cuihua's high-pitched cries coming from inside.
Chen Sisi rushed into the bedroom and saw Lin Fan standing by the bed, with Zhang Cuihua's bathrobe belt still tied around his arm, while Zhang Cuihua lay disheveled on the bed with a flushed face.
"Lin Fan! What are you two doing?!" Chen Sisi's eyes were red as she roared at Lin Fan.
