Zhang Tianyu did as instructed.

The result...

Wang Xiaoqiang's head buzzed, feeling blood rush upwards, and quickly turned his head away, taking a deep breath.

When he looked back again, Wang Xiaoqiang's mind was free of distractions, his fingers reaching out to massage the acupuncture points of the Blood Sea, Sanyinjiao, and Xingjian one by one with a raw and unskilled technique!

After massaging for a while, an insecure Wang Xiaoqiang asked, "Miss Zhang, how do you feel now?"

Zhang Tianyu answered with an extremely lazy voice, "I really want to sleep... my whole body feels warm and comfortable, and... and... that thing of mine seems, stopped... Yeah, the menstruation that has been going for over twenty days has stopped!" Originally, a lady of Zhang Tianyu's temperament, proud and strong, found it very embarrassing to discuss her physiological condition in front of a young man. But soon, she was amazed to find that the menstruation that had troubled her and rushed for over twenty days had actually stopped! She was excited, crazily excited to the point where even her tone changed!

After having taken countless medications to halt menstruation and undergone numerous infusions, all unable to solve the problem, Wang Xiaoqiang managed to do it with just his ten fingers...

However, Wang, who had fixed her problem, was also bewildered, thinking to himself, the True Master of Art is indeed worthy of his reputation. Just a massage technique I inadvertently saw in his medical book has had an effect; surely, the effect of the "Yijing's Women Soothing Soup" must be even more miraculous! Having thought this, Wang Xiaoqiang said with a faint smile, "Miss Zhang, please don't get too excited. I've just temporarily stopped the bleeding for you, to completely cure your hidden ailment, you still need to drink several courses of traditional Chinese medicine. Of course, if you want to take less medicine, you can only have more massages in the future..."

"Yes, yes! Little Qiang. Go ahead and treat me! I will cooperate with you, fully cooperate!" At this moment, Zhang Tianyu's trust in Wang had soared to a frightening level! Wang Xiaoqiang nodded in satisfaction – gaining a patient's trust was a great encouragement and affirmation for a doctor, especially when he was only a half-baked one.

While massaging, Wang Xiaoqiang said, "Miss Zhang, relax a little, I just need to massage for another five minutes! Hehe, don't worry, my hands won't hurt you!"

"Mm, I don't feel pain, I just feel very comfortable..."

Before she could utter the word "comfortable," she clenched her red lips tightly.

Zhang Tianyu was still a pure woman... Due to being plagued by serious gynecological diseases for many years, she had never been interested in dating. Therefore, her body had never been touched by any man. She was very sensitive!

Now she was being massaged by Wang Xiaoqiang in the most sensitive parts of a woman with a special technique, what kind of reaction would you expect?

As soon as the ten-minute massage was up, Zhang Tianyu's body suddenly jerked, then she went limp and stiff on the bed like a dead fish.

Wang Xiaoqiang's forehead was covered in sweat, but he nodded. "Yes, Miss Zhang. The treatment effect is very good this time! I believe that with a few more treatments like this, coupled with the traditional Chinese medicine I prescribed for you, your illness can be cured in a short time.

Zhang Tianyu didn't respond; she was still immersed in the wonderful sensation just now, her stiff body gradually relaxed, and she felt extremely comfortable throughout her body. Her mental state also became very good.

When the two came out, Xu Jiyue had already poured the well-simmered traditional Chinese medicine into a bowl, and the whole house was filled with the scent of the medicine.

Xu Jiyue glanced over the two, noticing Wang Xiaoqiang's beaming face and Zhang Tianyu's blushing, she frowned slightly and said, "Have you two finished up?" Anyone could hear the hint of jealousy in her voice high in acidity, leaving both of them awkward and at a loss. This only intensified the jealousy on Xu Jiyue's face, as she picked up the bowl of medicine and offered it to Zhang Tianyu, "Do you want Doctor Li to feed you personally?"

Zhang Tianyu wasn't as extravagant as Tang Wan, and simply invited Wang Xiaoqiang and Xu Jiyue for a meal, then casually asked Wang Xiaoqiang to treat her next time. Wang Xiaoqiang was noncommittal; such treatments were a torment for him.

Zhang Tianyu smiled shyly and alluringly, took the medicine, and drank it all in one breath without complaining of bitterness.

...

That day, Wang Xiaoqiang received a call from Tang Wan. "Hello, Miss Tang, what's up?" "Er, Mr. Wang, hello, after your treatment, my illness has improved a lot. The thing is, a friend of mine is ill and would like you to treat her. I was wondering if you have the time." "Er, okay." Wang Xiaoqiang had got into the habit of treating illnesses and was now embracing the idea of relieving the world's suffering, hoping to save as many as possible.

When he met up with Tang Wan and saw that she was holding a painting and calligraphy, Wang Xiaoqiang asked in surprise, what are you doing with this? Tang Wan honestly revealed her intentions, actually hoping to give Mayor Gao a gift and take the opportunity to secure a plot of land. Wang Xiaoqiang didn't mind, and so he went to the home of the Mayor of River City, Gao Ziyi, with Tang Wan.

...

Every family has its troubles, no matter how wealthy or powerful. As long as one is alive, there are always worries on one's mind.

The Mayor of River City, Gao Ziyi, had been in politics for over twenty years, climbing from a minor functionary to the position of Mayor. While his path seemed smooth, the bitterness and hardship were known only to him. And then there was his wife, Zhou Qiping, beautiful, virtuous, and of good nature. Once known as the most beautiful woman in River City, having such a beauty as a wife was deemed incredibly fortunate, leaving countless men of River City envious.

They say, 'In power over the world when awake, in the arms of a beauty when drunk.' In the eyes of others, Gao Ziyi may not fully live up to this saying, but it wasn't far from the truth.

But in reality, while his life looked glamorous on the surface, there were domestic troubles and peace of mind was hard to come by.

As he aged, Gao Ziyi realized that his health was declining. In the bedroom, he found himself increasingly less capable. What had started as once a week, then turned to once every half a month, followed by once a month, and now, it had been half a year since the last occurrence.

The year before last, he secretly sought to father a son, hiding this from his wife, Zhou Qiping, by keeping another woman on the side. He hoped to use this woman's womb to continue the Gao Family lineage.

Unexpectedly, although the woman was willing, she never fell pregnant. As Gao Ziyi had to take care of her, he naturally neglected his wife, resulting in nearly a year without a single touch of Zhou Qiping.

Unsatisfied and discontent, Zhou Qiping began to harbor resentment. Today, she abandoned her usual virtuous nature and neglected all matters, pretending to be ill and refusing to get out of bed.

Today was a rest day, and Gao Ziyi didn't have to go to the city government office. He had thought of strolling the streets with his wife to strengthen their marital relationship, but his wife had refused by feigning illness.

Gao Ziyi kept a mistress which caused him to feel guilty towards his wife. At this moment, he dared not lose his temper. He sighed repeatedly and headed to the study. When troubled, he always sought solace in painting and calligraphy.

As he was engrossed in painting, the nanny reported that a visitor who called herself Tang Wan had arrived with a young man.

Gao Ziyi was nearly finished with an 'Orchid and Bamboo Painting' when he was interrupted, frowning, he waved to the nanny, "Please bring them to the study."

The pretty nanny obeyed and soon, Tang Wan and Wang Xiaoqiang were led into the study. "Mayor Gao, I apologize for disturbing you," Tang Wan said with an apologetic smile.

"Uh..." Gao Ziyi, busy with his painting, did not even look up, responding with a grunt.

There was an awkward silence.

Having often dealt with those in power, Tang Wan was accustomed to such indifference. Moreover, knowing that Gao Ziyi was immersed in painting and not intentionally ignoring them, she felt at ease. However, Wang Xiaoqiang was different. Proud by nature and in the prime of his youth, he could not tolerate such a snub. He inwardly cursed, 'These damn officials always act so high and mighty. A guest arrives and you don't bother to greet them, not even a simple hello—you really take the cake! Seriously, am I here to offer a gift or to press my warm face against your cold ass?'

Tang Wan gave Wang a look to signal him not to take it personally, then she quietly approached the desk. She glanced at the almost complete painting and eyes finally fell on the Gao Ziyi, who was bent over engrossed in his work. Feeling a surge of inner joy, she thought that the 'Searching for Plum Blossoms in the Snow' painting she brought today was indeed well-chosen. Though elated inside, her external demeanor showed no hint of boastfulness. She remarked, "Mayor Gao truly has a taste for the arts..."

"Hmm." Gao Ziyi hummed indifferently, still not looking up. An embarrassing pause followed.

Wang Xiaoqiang felt even angrier. Never before had he been subjected to such humiliation, and although the initial disregard was aimed at Tang Wan, he too felt indirectly slighted. 'I've seen people being cold, but this is just ridiculous.'

After finishing the last stroke and straightening up, letting out a long breath, Gao Ziyi forced a smile, "I apologize for the wait, both of you."

'So now he talks like a human being, fake as it might sound.'

Wang Xiaoqiang appeared displeased.

"It's fine," Tang Wan responded with an indifferent expression, waving off the concern. "Oh? Miss Tang, what is that you're holding?" Gao Ziyi noticed the scroll in Tang Wan's hand, his eyes lighting up as if Columbus had discovered a new world.

Beauty is beauty, and Tang Wan always attracted endless praise and amazed stares wherever she went.

However, the fact that he looked at a beautiful girl without any amazement but got excited over a painting whose beauty he was yet to confirm showed just how much Gao Ziyi adored artwork, almost as much as he adored women. "Uh, this," Tang Wan explained as she opened the scroll, "is the reason for our visit today. I had heard that Mayor Gao enjoys collecting paintings, so I kept an eye out. Last month, I came across a painting from the Qing Dynasty by Xiao Chen, 'Plum Blossoms in the Snow.' Today, I wanted to present this to you, a great collector of ancient paintings."
