Chapter 18 - Selling Yourself to Pay Off Your Debts

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Five days passed.

During these five days, Ye Xuan accompanied Lin Ruoshi to spend time in the hotel.

Because the Gao family’s kidnapping had caused a great shock, Lin Ruoshi often woke up from her sleep in fear and did not dare to be alone.

Lin Ruoshi went to the hospital a few times in these few days. In the end, she only bandaged the scar on her face and did some anti-inflammatory treatment. Other than that, the hospital was helpless in doing anything else.

Lin Ruoshi consulted a few beauty agencies and other hospitals to repair the scar. The answer she received was that it could not be completely traceless.

Other than that, Lin Ruoshi did not go anywhere or do anything else.

Ye Xuan had been accompanying her all along. He bought her food every day and took care of her.

The relationship between the two quickly heated up. Ye Xuan did not mention the matter of treating Lin Ruoshi’s scar again.

However, today Ye Xuan finally received a call from Chen Jiao.

“Master, you finally need me, don’t you? I’ve finished refining the Spirit Beauty Pill. I’ll send it to you now.”

“I’m at Tianfeng Hotel.”

After hanging up, Ye Xuan went downstairs and waited at the hotel entrance.

Ten minutes later, a red car drove over. The car stopped, and Chen Jiao, dressed in a red windbreaker, got out.

She was 1.7 meters tall and had very long legs. She had the body of a model. Her long hair fell over her shoulders and her oval face. She was dressed exquisitely and fashionably, attracting the attention of countless men on the road.

“Master!”

Seeing Ye Xuan, Chen Jiao ran over like the wind. As soon as she reached him, she jumped into Ye Xuan’s arms.

Ye Xuan was helpless. This girl had always been so direct.

He reached out, and Chen Jiao jumped into Ye Xuan’s arms. She hugged Ye Xuan happily.

“Master, I haven’t seen you in three years. I missed you so much.”

Ye Xuan felt countless gazes on him. If looks could kill, he would probably die on the spot.

All other men watched as Chen Jiao, a beautiful woman, jumped into a man’s arms on the surrounding roads. They could not help but be envious.

“Come down quickly! “Ye Xuan quickly put on a straight face and dragged Chen Jiao down.

Chen Jiao stuck out her tongue. “Master, you weren’t so serious to me before.”

Ye Xuan growled, “You used to be a little girl. Now that You’ve graduated from university and joined the workforce, you’re a full-grown adult. Jumping into my arms is not proper.”

When Chen Jiao studied medicine with Ye Xuan, she was still a little girl. She was more than ten years old, and the last time they both met, she was not even twenty. Therefore, in Ye Xuan’s eyes, Chen Jiao had always been a little girl. In the past, he had been partial to her and was not as strict as he was with others.

This also resulted in Chen Jiao not being afraid of Ye Xuan. She was always mischievous when she was with him.

Seeing that Ye Xuan was a little serious, Chen Jiao did not dare to act recklessly anymore. She took out a small porcelain bottle from her bag and placed it in Ye Xuan’s hand, “Master, I’ve refined the pill for you.”

Ye Xuan took the small porcelain bottle, opened it, and took a whiff. He could not help but say to Chen Jiao, “It seems that you haven’t slacked off in the past few years. Your skills haven’t declined. So, I won’t reprimand you.”

Chen Jiao smiled brightly. “Master, I was able to follow you all those years ago due to my sister’s hard work. How could I not cherish it?”

Ye Xuan nodded. “Jiaojiao, since you’re here in Suzhou City, you can stay by your sister’s side for now.”

Chen Jiao said, “That’s what I was thinking too. I quit my old job and am prepared to work here.”

“Okay,” Ye Xuan said. “Go find your sister first. I still have things to deal with here.”

“Yes, master!”

Ye Xuan turned around, entered the hotel, and soon returned to his room.

Lin Ruoshi was showering in the bathroom. Ye Xuan pushed the door open and walked in. Hearing the sound of running water, he could not help but imagine a scene in his mind.

However, he immediately dispelled those improper thoughts. Walking to the bedside, Ye Xuan sat down and waited for Lin Ruoshi to come out.

The bathroom door was pushed open in a few minutes, and Lin Ruoshi walked out with a towel wrapped around her.

Ye Xuan looked over and was stunned. 

When the beautiful Lin Ruoshi came out of the bath, it was soul-stirring!

Lin Ruoshi only had a white bath towel on her body, revealing a pair of smooth and beautiful legs and ten toes as red as cardamom.

The bath towel could only cover her chest, revealing her beautiful collarbone and a pair of fair and round shoulders.

Her hair was not washed. The right half fell on her chest, blocking the scar, while the left half fell behind, revealing the other side of her face.

The half of her face that was revealed had fair and tender skin. Because she had just washed, it still emitted a faint pink hue.

Seeing Ye Xuan sitting by the bed, Lin Ruoshi was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face turned red. She quickly turned around and returned to the bathroom.

She had only entered the bathroom to shower when Ye Xuan went out. She did not expect Ye Xuan to come back so soon, so she had come out to get another towel, only to be caught by Ye Xuan.

Lin Ruoshi felt her face burning in the bathroom, and her heart was pounding fast.

She quickly took off the towel and put on her clothes. Only then did Lin Ruoshi let out a sigh of relief and walk out of the bathroom again.

Seeing Lin Ruoshi walk out again, Ye Xuan had already recovered. He stood up and walked to her.

“President Lin, this is the pill I obtained from my friend. If you eat it now, the scar on your face will disappear within five hours.”

As he spoke, Ye Xuan handed the small porcelain bottle in his hand to Lin Ruoshi.

“A pill?” Lin Ruoshi looked confused.

Ye Xuan said, “President Lin, I think you should know that there is an existence in this world called a warrior.”

Lin Ruoshi nodded. “I know. You are a warrior yourself. I heard the conversation you had with Gao Song when you saved me.”

The Lin family was also famous. Although it was not significant, it had nearly a hundred years of history. Naturally, it knew a group of powerful existences in the mortal world, the one called warriors.

“It’s not a big deal,” Ye Xuan said. “Since you know about warriors, it’s easy to understand. This pill is a medicine that warriors take. Its effects are magical, and its value is extraordinary. Many injuries and illnesses that hospitals cannot treat can be treated with these pills.”

Lin Ruoshi could not believe it. “Really?”

In the world of ordinary people, there was no concept of warriors. Only families that had reached a certain level could contact them.

Pills were even rarer and more mysterious than warriors. Ordinary families did not know about it, so Lin Ruoshi had never heard of them.

“Of course, it’s true, President Lin. If you’re willing to believe me, then take it. You’ll see the effect after a few hours.” Ye Xuan did not say much.

Lin Ruoshi took the small porcelain bottle suspiciously, opened it, and poured out a pill from it into her palm.

The fragrance of the pill wafted into her nose. It was nice and mellow. There were delicate patterns on the surface of the drug, making it look very exquisite.

Gradually, Lin Ruoshi’s serious doubts disappeared. She said to Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, I believe you. How do I take this? Do I eat the whole bottle?”

“There are seven pills in there. You just have to eat them all,” Ye Xuan said.

“Okay!” Lin Ruoshi poured out all the pills and put them into her mouth with a nervous and expectant mood.

The pills melted in her mouth and turned into liquid. Before Lin Ruoshi could taste anything, they had already entered her stomach.

“Thank you, Ye Xuan.” When Lin Ruoshi looked up again, she sincerely thanked Ye Xuan.

“President Lin, I’m your boyfriend. It’s my duty,” Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Lin Ruoshi did not take it as a joke. “Ye Xuan, how much did you spend? I have savings. I have to return it to you. I can’t let you spend money.”

Ye Xuan said wickedly, “This pill is a priceless treasure. It can’t be measured by money. President Lin, if you really want to pay it back, then sell your body to pay off your debt.”

Lin Ruoshi’s pretty face blushed. “You mere security guard, aren’t you a little too ambitious? Do you even dare to think about bedding me? Be careful, or I’ll fire you!”

Ye Xuan pretended to be angry. “President Lin, you owe me a favor, but you want to fire me? You’re ungrateful. This is too much!”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s defeated look, Lin Ruoshi felt happy in her heart, as if even the psychological trauma of being kidnapped had disappeared.

At this moment, Lin Ruoshi’s phone rang.

She picked up the phone in confusion. It was her grandfather who called.

“Grandpa, what’s wrong?”

“Lin Ruoshi, is there any progress? Ankang’s agency expired today, and the company has stopped production. If there isn’t a new agency for the hot drug now, our company will have to stop production!” Lin Tianxiong’s anxious voice sounded from the other side of the phone..
