Luo Lan's words may have touched Yu Qiaoqiao's heart. Her eyes suddenly began to turn red and the corners of her mouth twitched a few times.
"Sister, there are some things I've been holding in my heart for all these years, so many times that I can't breathe. I don't even dare to tell my mother. I don't know who to tell. I don't know why, but every time I see you, I feel particularly close to you. I've always remembered the scene when we first met at the palace gate. Now that you've mentioned this, I'm going to stop hiding it. But please, sister, keep it a secret for me, otherwise... otherwise I won't be able to live."
A matter of life and death? This must be a serious matter.
Luo Lan crossed the table, patted her hand, and whispered comfortingly:
"There are only the two of us here. If you have any concerns, just tell me. I won't tell anyone else, although I may not be able to help you."
Yu Qiaoqiao hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said:
"Leng Xi and I have been married for six years, and Xiaobao is six years old now. To outsiders, we seem to be very loving and supportive of each other. But in reality, only I know that over the years, he and I have always treated each other with courtesy, sleeping in separate rooms, rarely speaking, and... and we have only been together once, when I was pregnant with Xiaobao..."
At this point, she lowered her head somewhat embarrassedly, and kept kneading the handkerchief in her hands, like a child who had done something wrong.
Luo Lan looked at her as if he didn't quite understand.
"You were together only that one time. What does that mean? You've never had sex?"
Yu Qiaoqiao blushed, lowered her head, and shook her head vigorously.
"No, sister, do you have any way to treat this situation?"
this……
If someone is sick, she can heal them.
But it was obvious from Yu Qiaoqiao's words that Leng Xi was not sick, he just didn't want to sleep with her. How could this be cured?
It seems that the problem lies with Leng Xi, but as a man, he must have this need, right?
Thinking of this, she frowned and asked:
"Did he ever have a concubine? Or a bed-warmer?"
Maybe he didn't like Yu Qiaoqiao, so he didn't sleep with her.
But Yu Qiaoqiao still sighed and shook her head.
"No, the servants in his room are all men, and he treats every woman coldly. I'm sure he hasn't touched a woman in all these years."
Never touched a woman? That's strange. Could it be that he has no physical needs?
"Does he sleep in the mansion at night? Has he ever been to Yuhongyuan to look for girls?"
Yu Qiaoqiao quickly shook her head in denial.
"That's out of the question. He usually spends the night in his study. At first, I thought it was strange and often sent people to watch his door, but no one except him ever went in or out of his study."
This... is very strange.
Could it be that Leng Xi likes men?
No way! He and Long Xiaomin were madly in love back then, and that wasn't fake.
Is it because of Long Xiaomin?
Thinking of this, she secretly took a breath of cold air, but Yu Qiaoqiao suddenly reached across the table and grabbed her hand, looking at her expectantly.
"Sister, can you help me? I'm also a woman. I've been alone in an empty house for so many years. I'm really going crazy. Please help me..."
Help? How could she help? Couldn't she use some drastic measures? If Leng Xi knew about this, Yu Qiaoqiao's life would be even more difficult.
Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and shook her head helplessly.
"Qiaoqiao, I can't help you with this. Even though I'm a doctor, I can only heal a patient's physical illness. I have no way of curing his emotional illness. So, the first thing you need to do is make him fall in love with you, and then everything will fall into place naturally."
"Fall in love with me?"
Yu Qiaoqiao shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"How is that possible? He has never loved me in his heart. He doesn't even look at me straight in the eye. That incident with Long Xiaomin caused a lot of uproar, and that woman died in his arms. I think he will never be able to let go of this matter. I will never be able to enter his heart in this life."
Looking at Yu Qiaoqiao's pessimistic look, Luo Lan suddenly felt a little sorry for her. They were both women, but Long Xiaomin had met Leng Xi first, forcing her, an innocent girl, to endure the pain of loneliness for the rest of her life.
She wanted to comfort her, but didn't know how. As the number one female doctor in Daning Kingdom, she was always helpless when faced with emotional problems. What's more, she hadn't even solved her own sister's problem, so how could she help others?
But she comforted him again:
"Qiaoqiao, I can't help you with matters between men and women. However, the fact that he's been able to remain single for so many years just proves that he's a man of single-minded affection. Once a man like that falls in love with a woman, it's for life."
Luo Lan's words made Yu Qiaoqiao lower her head in self-abasement.
"I also wanted to tie his heart. I used to devote myself to him, making soup for him and cooking for him. He said one thing and I didn't dare to say another. But what's the result? After so many years, we are still like strangers..."
"Since accepting things as they come doesn't work, why don't you try doing the opposite? Maybe you'll get something different."
Yu Qiaoqiao looked up and looked at her with puzzled eyes.
"Do the opposite? You mean, I won't listen to anything he says? That will make him even angrier."
Luo Lan looked at Yu Qiaoqiao's well-behaved appearance and shook his head helplessly.
"Men are used to all women being submissive. They find stereotyped women boring. But if they meet a woman they can't conquer, they'll want to prove their strength by conquering her. So I advise you to be yourself and don't blindly cater to him. Not only will you feel tired, but he'll also think you're cheap."
