Chapter 251: Chapter 251 Past

Lin Dong had just finished the acupuncture and was now removing the needles.

With her back to Lin Dong, Qiao Bing’s flawless back resembled jade without the slightest imperfection, exposed to Lin Dong without any cover.

Her body was so perfect it seemed almost a sin to tarnish it, but beneath that perfect exterior, a mysterious illness had been lurking for years.

Enduring the pain in exchange for a ’Flawless Constitution,’ for whom would you blossom in such perfection in this life?

A woman with the Flawless Constitution can only love one person once she falls in love, and throughout her life, she can love no other. Her body can only be touched by that man; otherwise, she would feel unbearable pain.

Such a woman, once a man is able to move her heart and make her fall in love, will gain her loyalty for a lifetime.

"You know, I attended the best medical school in the Capital City during University..." Qiao Bing suddenly spoke amidst the silence.

"Yes, I’ve heard you mention it!" Lin Dong nodded, intently listening to her words.

"Back then, I was just eighteen, leaving my hometown alone to seek education in the Capital City."

"My personality is different from my sister’s, it’s more detached. I didn’t make many friends at University."

"Probably due to my Flawless Constitution, I had many suitors at that time."

"And Wang Xiuxin was one of them."

"He was the most outstanding individual at the School of Medicine Hospital, also my senior at the time. He came from the Capital City’s well-known medical family, the Wang Family, and his grandfather was the esteemed Wang Taisui, Dragon Country’s Number One Oriental Medicine Doctor."

"From a young age, he was known as the ’Little Doctor,’ seen as the future pillar of the world of Chinese medicine. While studying, he was already treating patients and could cure many difficult and complicated diseases that even medical experts couldn’t treat."

"He was always courteous and presented himself as a gentleman. It started with an accidental meeting between us, and he began pursuing me."

"I always thought he had good character and felt he was someone I could entrust my life to. After observing for a while, I agreed to be his girlfriend."

"But as you know, because of the strange disease I have, he couldn’t touch me. If he did, it would cause severe liver pain. At first, he seemed very understanding, always polite and never overstepping."

"But... I was too naive! Perhaps all men in the world are the same; their words don’t match their hearts."

"Not long after agreeing to be his girlfriend, I accidentally discovered that he and a female star at the time were embracing and kissing in a car..."

"I called him at that moment, asking what he was doing. In his usual gentle tone, he told me he was treating a patient. Witnessing his two-faced nature, I felt so disgusted that moment."

"Just as filthy as my father, Qiao Renyi!!"

"Despite his hypocrisy, he still pretended to be a polite gentleman, a doctor with a benevolent heart."

"Do you know? What I hated most wasn’t the fact that he was in a relationship with another woman. At that time, I had verbally agreed to be his girlfriend, and we hadn’t even held hands. He said he understood."

"What I hated was his deceit. If he truly didn’t understand me, why did he pursue me? And while pursuing me, why hide that he was with another woman, doing those things?"

After hearing all this, Lin Dong’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

"That night must have been really tough for you, right?"

For a woman with the Flawless Constitution who tried to open up her heart for the first time only to be betrayed, how excruciating the pain must have been.

And after that attempt, when all she was met with was deception, had she closed off herself completely like a hedgehog from thereon?

"Back then, I was in pain all night! And I swore in my heart that I would never trust any man again in this life," Qiao Bing said quietly.

Although her tone was calm, Lin Dong could imagine the anguish of being deceived and thus sleepless throughout that night.

Having heard all of Qiao Bing’s story, Lin Dong fell silent.

At that moment, his heart was filled with empathy for Qiao Bing.

"Alright, I’ve finished my story. Lin Dong... I’m sorry for not telling you this before because... it causes me great liver pain when I talk about it. It’s like when I mention my father."

"It wasn’t my intention to keep it from you..." Qiao Bing apologized, lowering her head towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong laughingly said, "Sister Bing, you don’t need to apologize to me. It’s your privacy, and it’s normal that you didn’t tell me before."

"Besides, I don’t think this counts as dating!"

"Huh~~~" Hearing Lin Dong’s words, Qiao Bing let out a big sigh of relief in her heart. Her previously furrowed brows suddenly revealed a radiant smile at that moment.

Unfortunately, Lin Dong did not see that smile like a flower.

For she had always kept her perfect, unblemished back facing him.

Lin Dong couldn’t see her face at that moment.

"Right, Lin Dong, I... I want to invite you to lunch tomorrow, is that okay?" Qiao Bing asked with a look of anticipation.

Lin Dong frowned slightly, remembering that tomorrow night was Ye Linglong’s promotion banquet, which he had already promised to attend.

But that was in the evening, he was free during the noon.

Lin Dong then nodded: "Okay!"

After agreeing, he curiously asked, "Sister Bing, why do you suddenly want to treat me to lunch?"

"Hee hee, I’ll tell you at noon tomorrow. It’ll be a surprise..." Qiao Bing’s voice suddenly became more cheerful.

"Alright then."
