Chapter 114: Xu Yue’s Secret

"Xu Yue!!"

At that moment, Yang Xun froze at the doorway, as if paralyzed by a Body Fixing Technique.

His eyes widened in utter disbelief as he stared at the woman curled up on the sofa. His mind went completely blank.

’The patient Murong Wei mentioned, the one who had a bad reaction to the medicine... it’s Xu Yue!’

’His wife!’

’The powerful and aloof CEO of the Xu Group!’

’She... she actually has Vaginismus?!’

Yang Xun’s pupils constricted as a torrent of thoughts flashed through his mind.

’No wonder she left the Xu Family Villa so early this morning.’

’It turns out she didn’t go to the office after leaving the Xu Family home. She came to Xinglin Hall!’

’And when I ran into her at Xinglin Hall the other day, she said she was there for insomnia. She was lying the whole time!’

’The real illness she was here for is Vaginismus!’

’And that prescription Murong Wei asked me to modify... it was for Xu Yue!’

’It all... it all adds up!’

Meanwhile, Xu Yue, still curled up on the sofa, saw Yang Xun standing in the doorway.

A clear look of shock flashed through her almond-shaped eyes.

’She hadn’t expected Yang Xun to be here.’

’Even less had she expected him to see her in such a wretched state.’

Right now, her cheeks were flushed a feverish red and her forehead was beaded with sweat. The high collar of her white blouse was soaked through, clinging to her clavicle.

An unnatural heat radiated from her entire body. Her stunning face, usually as cold as ice, now resembled a white lotus seared by flames—vulnerable and helpless.

They stared at each other for a full three seconds.

Xu Yue was the first to look away. Gritting her teeth, she fought back the waves of burning pain in her lower abdomen and struggled to sit up.

Though her entire body was trembling, she still struggled to maintain a last shred of dignity, straightening her spine and tucking a few loose strands of hair behind her ear.

Then, she lifted her head. Her gaze landed coolly on Yang Xun’s face as she tried to keep her voice in its usual indifferent tone. "What are you doing here?"

Her voice was steady, but the slight tremor at the end of her words betrayed her inner panic.

Murong Wei, standing between them, let her gaze flicker between Yang Xun and Xu Yue a couple of times before asking instinctively, "You two know each other?"

"Yes, we’re... friends."

After a brief silence, Xu Yue spoke first, her tone surprisingly natural and free of hesitation.

She didn’t reveal that they were married.

In front of a stranger—especially under these circumstances—she didn’t want Murong Wei to know the true nature of her relationship with Yang Xun.

Yang Xun played along, nodding in agreement. "That’s right. Friends."

"What a coincidence!"

A look of delight spread across Murong Wei’s face. She quickly turned to Xu Yue and said eagerly, "President Xu, your friend here is the very doctor I was telling you about! He’s the one who modified the prescription. He’s an exceptional physician; he can most likely cure you!"

"Him?"

Xu Yue froze for a moment. Her eyes landed on Yang Xun again, a look of clear confusion and surprise in her gaze.

’She’d known Yang Xun for nearly two years.’

’In her mind, Yang Xun was just a good-for-nothing, live-in husband who delivered food because he couldn’t find a real job.’

’She’d never heard anything about him knowing medicine.’

Yang Xun didn’t mince words. He strode over to Xu Yue, his expression serious, and said in a low voice, "Lie down on the sofa. I’ll examine you."

Xu Yue looked at Yang Xun and frowned slightly, her voice laced with suspicion. "You... you know medicine?"

"I studied traditional Chinese medicine with my grandfather for a few years."

Yang Xun’s expression was composed as he said calmly, "I just never had an opportunity to use it, so I never brought it up."

Still hesitant, Xu Yue looked him up and down and asked bluntly, "Are you sure you know what you’re doing?!"

"Relax, I’ve got this."

Yang Xun looked her straight in the eye and said earnestly, "Right now, you don’t have any other options. I’m the one who modified the prescription you took today, so since something went wrong, it’s my responsibility to fix it. Let me try."

At his words, their eyes met, and they were silent for several seconds.

She saw a deep-seated confidence in his gaze.

It was a bone-deep confidence, not a bluff or a front, but the kind of assurance that comes from genuine ability.

This look was a world away from the timid, subservient live-in husband she thought she knew. It was like he was a completely different person.

"Fine. I’ll trust you this one time!"

Xu Yue finally nodded and slowly lay back on the sofa. She turned her head slightly, avoiding his gaze.

But a closer look would have revealed a clear flicker of nervousness in her eyes.

The next moment, Yang Xun sat down on the edge of the sofa. He reached out and gently placed three fingers of his right hand on her pale, jade-like wrist.

Xu Yue’s body trembled slightly at the touch of his fingertips, but she quickly went still again.

Yang Xun closed his eyes. A wisp of True Qi seeped from his fingertips into Xu Yue’s meridians, slithering through her channels like a Spiritual Snake as it carefully probed the state of her body.

A moment later, Yang Xun’s brow furrowed slightly.

After a few more seconds, his frown deepened.

Finally, his pupils contracted. ’Xu Yue really does have Vaginismus, and it’s extremely severe.’

Vaginismus is an extremely rare congenital condition where a patient’s body has a type of physical blockage, making normal sexual intercourse impossible.

This instantly reminded Yang Xun of that late night when he had been peeking through the crack of Xu Yue’s bedroom door and saw her pleasuring herself. He had noticed an extremely bizarre phenomenon back then.

Xu Yue’s body contained an incredibly dense Primordial Yin Qi, but it was as if that energy was trapped by an invisible seal. No matter how aroused she became, not a single trace of it could escape!

’I couldn’t make any sense of it at the time, but now I finally understand why!’

’It was because of the Vaginismus. Her body was like a treasure vault, sealed shut layer by layer.’

’The Primordial Yin Qi inside her was completely locked down by a congenital blockage in her meridians, making it impossible for it to circulate!’

’He never imagined that his own wife—in name, at least—was suffering from such a severe case of Vaginismus!’

However, as Yang Xun’s True Qi probed deeper, an extremely abnormal energy suddenly surged up from the depths of Xu Yue’s meridians.

This energy was incredibly hot, like a smoldering fire that had been suppressed for far too long. It was now burning wildly within her body, rampaging through her meridians and seeping into every corner.

Yang Xun’s pupils contracted to pinpricks!

’Xu Yue doesn’t just have Vaginismus!’

’She’s also suffering from an even more terrifying condition... sex addiction!’
