As she spoke, tears welled up in Xiang Wan's eyes and slowly streamed down her face, falling onto the floor and also into Xuan Yuanlie's heart. For someone who cries frequently, tears are worthless. But when someone like her, usually optimistic and rarely shedding tears, sheds them, it evokes a stronger protective instinct in others.

Xuan Yuanlie didn't know that Xiang Wan wanted him to understand that women don't easily shed tears, unless they are truly heartbroken. He called her his orderly, yet he left her here to fend for herself. What happened to blocking other suitors? What happened to staying by his side? Although she chose to go with Gu Xue'en, she couldn't let him think it was her fault. She was trying her best, for his health!

A hand reached out and gently wiped away her tears. A barely audible "I'm sorry" came from Xuan Yuanlie's lips and reached Xiang Wan's ears. Xiang Wan smiled with satisfaction, turning her head away, thinking to herself: I never imagined Xuan Yuanlie was so naive when it came to relationships! Hmm, then let her give him a good thrashing of his values, so he won't be interested in any woman he meets in the future!

"Ah Lie, I promised to take care of your health. Now that you're here, let me give you a good rest."

"No need, I have something to do, I have to go."

"It only takes ten minutes, and I guarantee it will wipe away all your fatigue from the day. Want to give it a try?"

Perhaps it was because Xiang Wan's eagerness was too intense that Xuan Yuanlie actually agreed, almost as if possessed.

He took off his coat and lay face down on the bed. Xiang Wan knelt beside him and used acupressure techniques from the Xuanyuan Medical Arts to gradually relax his tense nerves. As she massaged, she wondered, "This Xuanyuan Medical Arts contains the name Xuanyuan; could it be related to Xuanyuan Lie's family?"

Xuan Yuanlie had never tried this kind of massage before; he had always used machines. This was his first time receiving a manual massage. The moment Xiang Wan's hand touched his body, he trembled all over, as if he had been electrocuted, and his whole body stiffened. Afterward, he gradually relaxed and unknowingly fell asleep.

At this moment, it would be a shame not to do something after all she had done. She reached out and tapped Xuan Yuanlie a few times, then lay down beside him and fell asleep. There was no other way; there was only one bed, and once she was certain Xuan Yuanlie couldn't do anything more, there was no reason for her to suffer any more.
