From rejecting the beautiful female CEO to becoming extremely powerful

Lu Yunzhou woke up just as dawn broke.

He lay on the sofa all night, covered with a thin blanket.

The sound of boiling water came from the kitchen; Luo Qingyi had already gotten up.

Lu Yunzhou sat up, rubbed his shoulders, and looked towards the bathroom.

The door wasn't closed properly, and Luo Qingyi's hushed voice could be heard from inside.

"Lu Yunzhou, what exactly did you do to me last night?"

She stood in front of the mirror, her hands resting on the sink, her voice tinged with urgency.

Lu Yunzhou walked to the door and saw her looking at herself in the mirror.

Luo Qingyi was wearing loose pajamas, her long hair draped over her shoulders.

The bathroom light fell on her face, making the fine lines at the corners of her eyes appear much less noticeable, and the dark circles under her eyes disappear completely.

Her face, which looked tired last night, now glows with health.

She raised her hand to touch the corner of her eye, then looked down at the back of her hand.

My skin feels firmer, and the fine lines on the back of my hands have decreased.

She picked up the small mirror on the table and examined herself from several different angles; even the lines on her neck had become lighter.

Lu Yunzhou leaned against the door frame, a smile playing on his lips.

"You slept well last night, so your complexion will naturally improve."

Luo Qingyi turned around and glared at him, her hand still resting on the sink.

"Don't try to fool me, I'm a doctor."

She took out her phone, turned on the front camera, and then turned off the beauty filter.

The face on the screen was clearly visible, but the fine lines around the eyes hadn't disappeared, and the dark circles hadn't returned.

Luo Qingyi put her phone aside, turned around, and walked out of the bathroom.

She grabbed Lu Yunzhou's wrist, pulled him to sit on the sofa, and then took out a stethoscope and a blood pressure monitor.

Lu Yunzhou let her inspect him.

Blood pressure is normal, pulse is stable, and breathing is normal.

Luo Qingyi took her temperature again and carefully recorded every piece of data.

Her hand holding the pen froze in mid-air.

Makeup can't cover up dark circles, and even a good night's sleep can't erase the fine lines around your eyes.

Having used countless skincare products, she knew exactly what this change meant.

My physical condition has really changed.

"What medicine did you give me?"

Luo Qingyi raised her face, her brows furrowed.

Lu Yunzhou withdrew his wrist and leaned back into the sofa.

"The Shennong chapter contains recipes for nourishing vital energy massage and medicinal baths."

Luo Qingyi stared at him, her fingers gripping the pen tightly.

"When did you give me the massage?"

"When you were sleeping next to me last night."

Lu Yunzhou's answer was very direct.

Luo Qingyi's ears turned red, and the pen in her hand drew a long mark on the paper.

She talked a lot in his arms last night, but she couldn't remember when the lights were turned off.

All she remembered was Lu Yunzhou's hand landing on her back, gently pressing several spots through her clothes.

That warmth lingered until she fell asleep.

Looking at her expression, Lu Yunzhou continued, "Your qi and blood are severely depleted, and you have old strain on your shoulders, neck, and back. By massaging a few meridians and taking a medicinal bath, your body will gradually recover."

"To what extent can it be restored?"

She asked very quickly.

"The situation ten years ago."

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Qingyi's hand holding the pen came to a complete stop.

Lu Yunzhou picked up the water glass from the coffee table and took a sip.

"Your long-term sleep deprivation causes more damage to your body than to your face. Nourishing massage helps regulate your Qi and blood, while medicinal baths help expel the stagnant Qi accumulated in your meridians. With consistent care, your energy, skin, and sleep will all return."

Luo Qingyi sat next to him, staring at the back of her hand.

She was in her early thirties and worked shifts in the emergency department year-round.

Standing in the hospital for more than ten hours a day, eating by squeezing in time, and sleeping by rushing to catch up on time.

She was already used to the fatigue on her face and the soreness in her shoulders and neck.

Now those marks have faded, and my body feels like it has been relieved of years of burden.

She got up and went back to the bathroom, then rolled up the sleeves of her pajamas to her elbows and carefully examined her arms and neck.

The skin is firm, the color is even, and the previously dry areas have regained their elasticity.

She took out old photos from her home and compared them to the mirror.

I looked even more haggard in the photo than I do now.

Luo Qingyi stared at it for a long time before whispering, "This change couldn't be achieved using ordinary methods."

Lu Yunzhou stood behind her, his voice soft.

That's why I had you come with me to recuperate.

She turned around, her eyes now scrutinizing.

"You're hiding more than I thought."

Lu Yunzhou did not respond.

Luo Qingyi didn't press him, but picked up the clothes on the back of the chair and prepared to tidy them up for him.

Lu Yunzhou's jacket, which he had changed out of last night, was draped over his shoulder. With the sleeves rolled up, a red mark was visible on the inside of his wrist.

The four characters are clearly visible: "The Milky Way bestows its blessings."

Luo Qingyi reached out to smooth her cuffs, and as soon as her gaze fell on the red mark, Lu Yunzhou raised his wrist and put on his watch.

The watch strap perfectly covered the mark.

Luo Qingyi stopped what she was doing and looked down at her watch.

"What is this?"

Lu Yunzhou fastened his watch strap, his expression unchanged.

"The company's temporary authorization stamp, used when conducting business."

Luo Qingyi looked at him for a few seconds, then put the clothes back on the back of the chair.

"You've been coming back with injuries lately, and now you have this on your hands. Who are you working for?"

Her tone was flat, but her hands clenched the hem of her clothes, creating wrinkles.

Lu Yunzhou reached out and grasped her wrist, first smoothing out the piece of fabric for her.

"If someone pays me, I'll solve their problems. If it's dangerous, I'll take the fall myself."

Luo Qingyi withdrew her hand, the smile on her face fading slightly.

"You always say that."

Lu Yunzhou looked at her, not trying to fool her with jokes.

I won't let you get involved.

Luo Qingyi lowered her eyes, picked up the coat, and continued tidying it up.

She knew Lu Yunzhou's personality well; once he made up his mind, no one could stop him.

But she didn't want to wait for him to come home injured every day.

She folded her coat and placed it on the sofa armrest.

"If you truly consider me one of your own, then don't keep everything from me."

Lu Yunzhou's Adam's apple bobbed.

"I'll tell you everything after this is over."

Luo Qingyi looked up at him, her guard down a little.

She turned and went into the bathroom, picked up a towel and wiped her face.

The woman in the mirror had clear features, firm skin, and a more energetic look than before.

She touched the corner of her eye and suddenly remembered what Lu Yunzhou had just said.

Ten years younger.

This is absurd to doctors.

But she had checked her own pulse and witnessed the changes in her body firsthand.

Faced with this fact, she could find no explanation.

Lu Yunzhou stood outside the bathroom door, watching her lower her head and straighten her pajamas, his smile deepening.

"Medicinal baths require herbal packs and the water temperature must be controlled."

Luo Qingyi looked up at him.

"What are you planning to do now?"

"I'll help you prepare."

She draped the towel back on the rack, and her ears started to burn again.

Lu Yunzhou leaned against the door, his tone teasing.

"I have to keep an eye on the water temperature and the dosage. Don't blame me if anything goes wrong."

Luo Qingyi gripped the bath towel and stared at him for a moment.

"Your job is just to dispense the medication."

Lu Yunzhou nodded and turned to walk towards the kitchen.

"I'll listen to you."

He had only taken two steps when Luo Qingyi called him back.

"Lu Yunzhou".

He turned around.

Luo Qingyi stood in the bathroom, her snow-white neck exposed outside the neckline of her pajamas. Her hand pressed against the door frame, her eyes filled with warning, but her ears remained red.

"Explain to me clearly how to take a medicinal bath."

Lu Yunzhou looked at her, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Would you like me to prepare a medicinal bath for you?"
