Chapter 232: The Abstinent Gigolo 32

Seeing her reaction, Xi Jingtong suddenly felt slightly nervous.

“Does it make you uncomfortable?” he asked quietly.

Hearing this, Tang Wan immediately shook her head.

“No.”

Then, after a brief pause, she added honestly:

“It actually felt pretty nice.”

The moment he heard that, Xi Jingtong couldn’t help lowering his head and laughing softly.

Then he leaned close to Tang Wan’s ear and murmured in a low voice:

“Even if I’m not a normal man…”

“Don’t worry.”

“As long as you want it, I can still make you feel wonderful.”

After all, he hadn’t ranked first in human acupoint studies every year for nothing.

The instant Tang Wan heard that, her ears flushed red.

Then she glared at him fiercely.

“W-What are you saying?!”

“You’re acting like a hooligan!”

Seriously—

the moment his biggest secret was exposed, this man immediately started letting himself go?!

But after being scolded, Xi Jingtong instead looked completely satisfied.

The next second, he intertwined their fingers together naturally.

“You’re the only person I’d act shameless with.”

Tang Wan: “…”

…

The next day, the medical team Tang Wan personally arranged finally arrived at the hospital.

Xi Jingtong knew very clearly that without Tang Wan’s help, there was no way he could’ve invited specialists of this level.

And because of that, the gratitude in his heart toward her deepened even further.

No matter what happened in the future—

he swore he would treasure her carefully for the rest of his life.

…

After several tense hours of surgery—

the operation was finally declared successful.

The moment Xi Jingtong heard the news, he immediately pulled Tang Wan tightly into his arms.

His voice even trembled slightly with emotion.

“Wanwan…”

“Thank you.”

“Really… thank you.”

Seeing this, Tang Wan gently patted his back soothingly.

“What are you thanking me for?”

“Now you can finally relax.”

“…Mm.” Xi Jingtong lowered his voice softly.

…

After that, Tang Wan and Xi Jingtong spent the next month taking care of Grandma Xi together.

Eventually, after recovering well, Grandma Xi was finally discharged from the hospital.

Originally, Tang Wan wanted Grandma Xi to move into the apartment with them.

But Xi Jingtong refused gently.

Seeing Tang Wan’s puzzled expression, he explained with a smile:

“It’s Grandma’s decision.”

“She wants to move back to our old home.”

“I already hired a caretaker for her, so don’t worry.”

After receiving Tang Wan’s money earlier, he had quietly repurchased the old house where he and his grandmother had once lived together for over ten years.

But he also understood clearly—

Grandma Xi simply didn’t want to disturb the private world between him and Wanwan.

At the same time, she worried that because of his physical condition, if he didn’t properly maintain his relationship with Tang Wan, problems might arise later.

After hearing his explanation, Tang Wan nodded.

“Alright then.”

…

But that very night—

after the two returned home—

Xi Jingtong suddenly looked at Tang Wan and asked quietly:

“Wanwan…”

“Do you want to try being even closer with me?”

Tang Wan instantly froze.

“Y-You mean…?”

Seeing her nervous expression, Xi Jingtong smiled faintly.

“Platonic love is good too.”

“But I’m not completely incapable.”

“And I can guarantee…” His gaze darkened slightly. “Even without certain functions, I can still make you happier than ninety-nine percent of men.”

Now—

it was finally time to bring their relationship one step closer.

Tang Wan’s heart immediately started pounding wildly.

Holy crap.

She actually kind of wanted to try it.

But on the surface, she still asked weakly:

“What happened to our beautiful Platonic love?”

Xi Jingtong smiled softly.

The next second, he suddenly bent down and lifted Tang Wan into his arms bridal-style before carrying her toward the bedroom.

“If you feel uncomfortable or disgusted at any point, I’ll stop immediately.”

“But trust me…”

“I’ll make you feel good.”

After gently placing Tang Wan onto the bed, Xi Jingtong looked at her quietly.

Tang Wan’s cheeks were already completely red as she nodded lightly.

Then—

Xi Jingtong slowly raised his long pale fingers and slid them beneath the hem of her shirt.
