145: Mrs. Shen was touched

“Uh, of course not. As a physician, I naturally wish Madam Shen good health!” Chen Xuan quickly said.

“Is that so…” A hint of loss appeared on Shen Xirou’s face, which she herself didn’t even notice.

“Naturally. Your health, Madam, is the most important thing to me.”

“Imperial Physician Chen…”

Shen Xirou didn't know what was wrong with herself. After spending these days with Chen Xuan, she found that he was almost a perfect person, and he always took her feelings into consideration. It was very comfortable to be with him.

Her good impression of him had grown linearly without her realizing it. Now, Chen Xuan had only said one sentence, and she felt a little… touched.

This was truly a surprising feeling. She had never felt this way when she was the Empress.

“Currently, what I am most worried about is your problem with accumulated Qi, Madam. If you continue to worry like this, your body will surely collapse!” Chen Xuan sighed.

“Alas, this is a dead end, I also…” Shen Xirou wanted to avoid the topic, but Chen Xuan directly took her hand.

“Chen, Imperial Physician Chen, what are you…?!” Shen Xirou’s face flushed slightly, and her head unconsciously turned away, not daring to meet his gaze.

“Regarding your illness, I actually have some ideas in my mind and would like to try them on you!”

“This, Imperial Physician Chen can make his own decisions, concubine, concubine leaves it to Imperial Physician Chen to do as he pleases!”

“This is an overstatement, not at all, what I can do is only a little bit, the most important thing is still you!”

“Then, how will Imperial Physician Chen treat my illness?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan chuckled.

He patted his Storage Pouch and pulled out an exquisite box.

“This is for you.”

“What, what’s inside?”

“Madam will know when she opens it!” Chen Xuan smiled slightly, pulling Shen Xirou to sit down.

Receiving Chen Xuan’s gift, Shen Xirou seemed very happy. At Chen Xuan’s suggestion, she excitedly opened the box.

In Shen Xirou’s eyes, what lay in the box were a pair of oddly shaped… items!

But in Chen Xuan’s eyes, these were just a pair of very exquisite crystal high heels.

The crystal high heels emitted a soft glow, and their clear, translucent material complemented the dazzling decorations, presenting a striking beauty.

The size perfectly fit Shen Xirou’s feet.

The shoes’ straps were made of a string of pearls, each pearl uniform in size, lustrous, and emitting a soft glow. The pearl straps gently tied around the ankle, like an elegant ribbon, adding much to these high heels.

“Do you like them?” Chen Xuan asked.

Shen Xirou quickly nodded: “I like them, I like them very much! But… what are these?!”

“…”

“These are a pair of shoes, which I carefully prepared for you.”

“Shoes, shoes! How can there be such shoes?!!!” Shen Xirou’s face instantly turned crimson.

For someone as conservative and inexperienced as her, these things were too avant-garde.

“Ah? Aren’t these just normal high heels? It’s just that the straps wrapped around the legs are a bit more troublesome!” Chen Xuan scratched his head.

“High heels?!!! Are they really normal…?” Shen Xirou was still blushing.

“Of course, they are very normal in my hometown. May I put them on for you?” Chen Xuan said earnestly.

Shen Xirou covered her red lips in surprise, looking at Chen Xuan, her face blushing even more intensely.

“Of, of course you can…” she whispered, her voice almost inaudible.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan slowly squatted down, took Shen Xirou’s calf, and removed her embroidered shoes.

Instantly, her flawless jade feet were presented before Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan looked at the scene before him and couldn’t help but be a little stunned.

Shen Xirou’s feet were as fair as jade, with delicate and smooth skin, as if they were the most perfect works of art.

Her feet were slender and gracefully shaped, like a pair of exquisite butterfly wings. Each toe was crystal clear, like pearls adorning her feet. Her toes were slightly curved, forming an elegant arch that made one want to gently cherish them.

Chen Xuan’s gaze was fixed on the white jade in his hand, and a surge of emotion welled up in his heart.

Shen Xirou naturally felt Chen Xuan’s gaze and shyly lowered her head. A blush spread across her face, and a sense of satisfaction she had never felt before surged within her heart.

Yes, before this, she had never felt such a stirring.

At this instant, the distance between Chen Xuan and Shen Xirou seemed to become closer. Their souls seemed to resonate, and an indescribable emotion quietly grew between them.

“Madam’s… truly…” Chen Xuan praised softly, his voice trembling slightly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xirou’s face flushed even more. However, looking at Chen Xuan’s captivated gaze, a hint of joy welled up in her heart.

But she quickly came back to her senses.

Looking at the slightly dazed Chen Xuan, she cautiously withdrew her foot and said nervously, “Imperial Physician Chen, please don’t…”

Chen Xuan instantly snapped back to reality. He gave an awkward laugh, covering up his lapse.

“My apologies, Madam, I was rude.”

Shen Xirou shook her head and said softly, “Imperial Physician Chen, you exaggerate. Concubine is just…”

Her voice grew softer and softer, and the blush on her face deepened. The two remained silent for a moment, then exchanged a smile, and the awkwardness in their hearts dissipated completely.

For a moment, Chen Xuan had already wanted to just abduct her, but he realized there seemed to be an “Empress” still watching them, so he couldn’t have his way.

“Madam, I would like to continue what we couldn’t finish just now.”

“Imperial Physician Chen, please proceed…”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly, then squatted down again, picked up the shoes, and gently placed them on Shen Xirou’s feet. These crystal high heels seemed custom-made for her, perfectly accentuating her elegant demeanor.

Shen Xirou felt Chen Xuan’s hand touching her foot, and her heart couldn’t help but quicken. She couldn’t help but recall her time with Chen Xuan these past few days, and that unprecedented emotion once again surged in her heart.

“Imperial Physician Chen…”

“Hmm? What’s wrong?” Chen Xuan looked up at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

“Thank you, Imperial Physician Chen.”

“Madam, there’s no need to thank me. Seeing Madam happy is my greatest joy.”

Chen Xuan stood up and gently stroked Shen Xirou’s hair. Feeling this tenderness, Shen Xirou could no longer suppress the emotions in her heart.

She finally mustered the courage to speak her mind.

“Imperial Physician Chen, I was wondering if we could spend more time together in the future?”

This was already the limit of what she could express.

Chen Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, “Of course, I am willing to always be by Madam’s side, protecting you and taking care of you.”
