Supreme Divine Physician in the City Chapter 1547: Ye Xuan Caught in the Bathroom
Previously on Supreme Divine Physician in the City...
Lin Tong maintained a practical outlook, fully aware that the major channel partners she was scheduled to meet would likely deviate from their prior commitments. It was only her trust in Ye Xuan that compelled her to continue this arduous endeavor without any guarantee of success.
"You will discover the nature of the medicine I am selling when the opportune moment arrives," Ye Xuan responded with a smile, continuing to gently massage her. Observing Lin Tong's visible exhaustion, he felt a pang of sympathy. "My dear wife, please persevere a little longer. This ordeal will soon be over. Once we overcome this crisis, the Eastern Group will no longer be subjected to such threats." If possible, Ye Xuan would have shielded Lin Tong from enduring such hardships. However, he understood that trials often forged strength.
The Wang Family had initiated a full-scale assault, making the Eastern Group's predicament truly desperate. Escaping this dire situation presented only a single viable path.
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's sigh, Lin Tong was momentarily taken aback, a warmth spreading through her heart, yet she couldn't help but echo his sadness with a sigh of her own. These past days had been exceptionally challenging for her. Had Ye Xuan's experience been any easier? On the contrary, he bore an even greater weight of responsibility!
With this realization, Lin Tong offered a tender smile, gazing at Ye Xuan with affection. "Do not worry, husband. I am not as fragile as you perceive. It is you who should refrain from overexertion. At worst, if the Eastern Group falls, perhaps we could lead a simpler, more carefree life."
"Preposterous," Ye Xuan chuckled. "The Eastern Group represents your dedicated effort. Even if you wished to relinquish it, I would never consent."
Lin Tong intended to voice further thoughts, but a wave of drowsiness suddenly overcame her. Her beautiful eyes fluttered, and before she realized it, she was resting peacefully on the sofa, fast asleep. Whether it was due to her extreme fatigue or the comforting presence of Ye Xuan watching over her, Lin Tong sank into a profound and restorative slumber.
She had no idea how long she slept. When she eventually awoke, the world outside remained shrouded in darkness. Lin Tong activated the light, her gaze sweeping the room but failing to find Ye Xuan. She then proceeded to the bedroom, only to find Little Cloud sleeping soundly within, still no sign of Ye Xuan. Lin Tong's brow furrowed in perplexity as she prepared to call Ye Xuan.
Just then, in the profound silence, Lin Tong detected a faint sound emanating from the bathroom. It resembled a woman's voice, and it sounded rather... rather brazen! What was transpiring? Lin Tong's eyes widened, her gaze sharp with indignation.
"Ye Xuan, you scoundrel! Even when you are absent, you cannot cease such activities, and you bring them right before me? Had I not awoken midway, I might have remained deceived by you perpetually!" Lin Tong was incensed. In a moment of impulsive anger, she resolved to catch Ye Xuan red-handed. "This is truly too much. I, Lin Tong, have already made such significant compromises, and Ye Xuan still behaves so outrageously. Even with a Black woman? You are utterly undisciplined! Do you genuinely find Black women attractive?"
With swift strides, Lin Tong advanced to the bathroom door, grasped the handle, and without a second thought, flung it open. "Ye Xuan, you..." Lin Tong began to demand an explanation but was abruptly rendered speechless.
For within the rather unadorned bathroom, there was only Ye Xuan! This immediately posed a perplexing question. If Ye Xuan was alone in the bathroom, from whence did the woman's voice that Lin Tong had just heard originate? Was it a hallucination? It certainly could not have been a hallucination. The voice persisted, and with the opening of the door, the sound intensified and became clearer, causing Lin Tong's cheeks to flush with embarrassment.
Upon closer inspection, Lin Tong finally identified the source of the voice. It was emanating from the mobile phone clutched in Ye Xuan's hand. Although Ye Xuan's back was to Lin Tong, and the phone was angled away from her, she managed to catch a glimpse of the screen. The images were rapidly changing, displaying content that was undeniably provocative and difficult to behold!
"Oh my heavens. Ye Xuan is actually watching... in the bathroom..." Lin Tong stared at Ye Xuan, her eyes widening further with each passing second. "He is not only watching in the bathroom... he is also... performing an action in there..."
The scene seemed to freeze. Ye Xuan turned around, completely dumbfounded, his gaze falling upon Lin Tong's vividly expressed shock. Even he, known for his impenetrable composure, felt a slight flush creep onto his face. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere hung suspended for several seconds, punctuated only by the continuous, heart-stirring sounds emanating from the phone.
Ye Xuan flinched, hastily silencing his phone. He turned towards Lin Tong, intending to speak, "Wife, allow me to explain..."
"Ah!" Lin Tong suddenly exclaimed. Ye Xuan startled, looked down, realized the situation, and quickly adjusted his trousers. Once everything was settled, Ye Xuan turned back to Lin Tong, attempting to say, "Wife, I..."
Before Ye Xuan could complete his sentence, Lin Tong erupted, her voice laced with fury, "Ye Xuan, I never imagined you to be... to be this kind of person. You are utterly disgusting!"
With those words uttered, Lin Tong turned and made a hasty retreat, her figure disappearing in a flurry of embarrassment.
While one might not have tasted pork, they have certainly witnessed a pig’s flight, haven't they?
Considering Lin Tong was a woman in her twenties, how could she possibly misunderstand Ye Xuan’s intentions?
Had she not witnessed it firsthand, Lin Tong would have flatly refused to believe Ye Xuan capable of such an act!
Were you not the esteemed Black Emperor? Where had your pride and integrity vanished?
Meanwhile, Ye Xuan, left stunned in the bathroom, remained disoriented for a considerable time. Upon regaining his senses, he felt an overwhelming sense of injustice, bordering on tears.
“My dear wife, this was not my intention, but I was left with no other choice!”
“In recent days, how many perilous encounters have I endured? Though I possess a unique remedy to manage the aftermath of these battles, it still leaves me feeling quite uncomfortable.”
“As a devoted husband, I had no desire to venture outside. Firstly, I have no particular fondness for Black women, and secondly, what if an assailant were to strike while I was away from safety?”
“However, the residual effects of these battles cannot be ignored. Should they erupt uncontrollably, the ramifications would be beyond comprehension. What other recourse did I have?”
"I am truly enduring such hardship!"
Ye Xuan exclaimed, tears unshed, before closing the bathroom door. He then retrieved his phone, resuming his unfinished, monumental task.
The world mocks my apparent madness, yet I chuckle at their profound ignorance.
For the safety of my beloved wife and our precious Little Cloud, I shall bear this burden – it is my sacred duty!
...
Ye Xuan’s reputation had been utterly decimated.
Three days.
For the entirety of three days, Lin Tong barely uttered more than a handful of words to him. Her gaze, when directed at him, was a palpable mixture of disdain and utter contempt.
To what extreme did this extend? Even Little Cloud was forbidden from Ye Xuan’s embrace, as if holding the child would somehow contaminate her.
Trapped in this predicament, Ye Xuan’s heart simmered with unspoken grievances, with no outlet for his pent-up emotions.
It wasn't until the fourth day that Lin Tong, through a sudden realization, came to comprehend the hardships Ye Xuan faced. Finally, she permitted him to hold Little Cloud once more and even occasionally graced him with a returning smile.
Ye Xuan was left utterly speechless, thinking to himself, “My dear wife, are you employing both the carrot and the stick against me? A truly virtuous wife would not behave in such a manner!”
