Chapter 19: Perfect Body

At this moment, Xue Luan was standing very close to Lu Qiwen. He could feel her warm breath on his face and see every detail of her smooth, ivory neck. Her skin was as flawless as jade.

If Lu Qiwen didn’t feel anything in the presence of such a beautiful woman, it would mean something was wrong with him. However, as a cultivator aiming to achieve the Golden Core, he had developed considerable self-control. Despite Xue Luan’s overwhelming presence, he remained calm and composed.

Xue Luan’s initial interest in He Xuan’s condition had been overshadowed by Lu Qiwen’s indifference. She was naturally competitive, which had driven her to achieve so much at a young age. Her competitive nature now made her determined to see if Lu Qiwen was truly indifferent to her charms.

With a subtle shift in her expression, Xue Luan said coldly, “Help me. I need to check He Xuan’s burns.”

As she moved to the other side of the bed, she discreetly unbuttoned two buttons on her lab coat, revealing her ample cleavage. Her white bra barely contained her full breasts, creating a deep, enticing cleavage. Bending over slightly, the open coat allowed a clear view of her flat stomach, white lace panties, and long, slender legs.

Though Lu Qiwen didn’t expect much from the examination, he didn’t object. He gently moved He Xuan’s short hair aside, exposing her scarred face.

Standing across the bed, Xue Luan saw He Xuan’s burned face and momentarily forgot her intentions to provoke Lu Qiwen. She bent over to examine the burns more closely, unaware that her actions were giving Lu Qiwen an eyeful.

Lu Qiwen’s self-control was strong, but he wasn’t a saint. He couldn’t resist the sight of Xue Luan’s exposed cleavage and the tantalizing glimpse of her flat stomach and lace panties. Her scent filled the air, and he noticed that her legs were tightly closed, indicating she was still a virgin.

As he admired her body, Lu Qiwen felt a mix of desire and curiosity. He was the first to see Xue Luan in such an intimate way, a privilege not even her closest friends had.

Xue Luan, engrossed in her examination, didn’t realize the extent of her exposure. When she finally straightened up, she noticed Lu Qiwen’s gaze fixed on her chest.

Following his gaze, Xue Luan’s face turned red. Her eyes flashed with a mix of emotions, leaving Lu Qiwen puzzled. He didn’t understand why she looked at him with such a conflicted expression. After all, it was just a wardrobe malfunction.

Unaware of Xue Luan’s internal turmoil, Lu Qiwen didn’t realize that she had been raised with strict values. Her upbringing dictated that only her husband should see her body. Now, she faced a dilemma: either kill the man who had seen her or accept him as her partner.

Seeing her conflicted gaze, Lu Qiwen remained calm. “Doctor, how is Sister Xuan’s condition?”

Xue Luan, her emotions in turmoil, took a deep breath and looked at He Xuan. Unconsciously, she felt a pang of jealousy. Despite He Xuan’s burns, she envied her for having someone as devoted as Lu Qiwen.

In a cold voice, she said, “The patient has severe burns. Even with skin grafts, it’s unlikely her appearance will fully recover. But we should explore other options.”

Lu Qiwen nodded, not paying much attention to Xue Luan. He sat quietly by He Xuan’s side.

Xue Luan, feeling a mix of frustration and admiration, clenched her fists. She couldn’t believe Lu Qiwen was ignoring her after seeing her so intimately. Her competitive nature flared up, and she felt a surge of determination.
