My Aloof Lord Ex-Husband Begs for Remarriage
Chapter 154 - 155: Trust You

Chapter 154: Chapter 155: Trust You

Ye Jiuxiao lifted his gaze and met Chu Nanli’s pair of clear and resolute eyes.

He chuckled softly, "When I agreed to cooperate with you, I entrusted my life to you. If I don’t trust you now, wouldn’t it be too late?"

Chu Nanli was shocked by his casual response.

Before this, they were not familiar with each other.

How could he trust her so much...

"Prince, please think it over!" Dr. Lin became anxious and raised his voice, "We are not familiar with the Princess Consort’s medical skills, and we must not act recklessly!"

"Dr. Lin, please leave," Ye Jiuxiao said indifferently, his eyes filled with an icy coldness.

Dr. Lin’s heart skipped a beat, knowing he could no longer go against Ye Jiuxiao, yet still worried, he left with a sigh.

Once the room was clear, Ye Jiuxiao spoke, "Don’t feel pressured. Even if you can’t cure me, I won’t blame you."

Chu Nanli felt a slight warmth in her heart.

"Alright, what’s next?" Ye Jiuxiao asked.

Chu Nanli pointed at the bath, "Take off your clothes and get in."

Ye Jiuxiao narrowed his eyes, "Are you sure you want me to undress in front of you?"

Chu Nanli tugged at her lips, "Of course. How can you take a medicinal bath without undressing?"

"Don’t worry, I won’t peek."

Ye Jiuxiao snorted with a laugh and raised an eyebrow, "Are you not afraid that rumors will tarnish your reputation?"

"A doctor does not distinguish between genders. Besides..." Chu Nanli cleared her throat, "this is in your residence, as long as you don’t tell anyone, who would know?"

As she spoke, Chu Nanli turned her back and urged, "Come on, don’t waste any more time. I haven’t made it an issue, what is there for you, a grown man, to be scared of?"

Ye Jiuxiao’s expression darkened.

He used his inner strength to move a screen for privacy and then entered the bath.

Chu Nanli stepped out from behind the screen and saw that he had submerged his body in the water, exposing only a section of his shoulders, strong and well-built.

The man must have a good physique. When he fainted earlier, he was only wearing an undershirt, and when she helped him up, through the thin layer of fabric, that sensation...

Chu Nanli cleared her throat, "I’m going to apply the needles now."

"Hmm," Ye Jiuxiao responded lightly.

With most of Ye Jiuxiao’s body submerged in the medicinal water and not in a convenient position for needle application, Chu Nanli inserted the needles into his shoulder.

This time was different from before; without any clothing in the way, Chu Nanli’s slender and soft hands made direct contact with Ye Jiuxiao’s shoulder.

Ye Jiuxiao didn’t even feel the sharp pain of the needle piercing his skin; all he was aware of was a pair of soft hands brushing against him lightly like feathers, kindling a fire unceasingly.

Ye Jiuxiao’s Adam’s apple bobbed.

"When will this be over?"

"What’s the matter?"

Chu Nanli noticed that Ye Jiuxiao’s cheeks and the tips of his ears were red.

She assumed it was because the water was too hot, steaming him.

"It’s nothing," Ye Jiuxiao stated in a low voice, his tone growing huskier and more seductive.

Chu Nanli, however, didn’t find anything unusual.

"In a moment, I’ll use the needle to inject some medicine into you to help expel the toxins. It might hurt a bit at the start." Ultimately, for better results, Chu Nanli decided to administer an IV to Ye Jiuxiao.

Ye Jiuxiao nodded indifferently, as though he trusted whatever she would do.

Chu Nanli felt a slight stirring in her heart.

She went behind the screen and slipped into her space.

She mixed the medicine well and then took out the IV bottle and needle from her space.

"Prince, if I use this on you, can you keep it a secret from others?" Chu Nanli asked.

When Ye Jiuxiao saw it, he found it intriguing: a liuli material bottle connected to a sparkling, transparent tube... objects he had never seen before.
