Chapter 245 - Suspicion and Bai Yihao The Physician (2/2)

It was very quiet inside the room.

Bai Yihao looked at Mo Xuetong with gentle eyes and pointed at a chair, gesturing for her to sit.

After an awkward silence, Mo Xuetong walked over to the other side of the table and sat down. He picked up the books placed on one side, put it between them, and gestured for her to put her hand on the stack of books.

“Third Miss Mo, you seem to have even gotten thinner recently. Are you feeling unwell? Let me take a look.” He pointed at the books and gestured for her to put her hand on the books.

Bai Yihao stretched out his long, slender, and pale hand and placed it by the book. His smile was light and his eyes distant. One could not see anything odd from here.

He was so gracious, so Mo Xuetong did not want to be petty. She stretched out her hand after a moment of hesitation.

His long slender fingers landed on her tender and pale hand. His hand made hers look pale and weak. Mo Xuetong watched Bai Yihao’s expression silently, trying to find out why he was doing this. However, he was elegant and quiet and did not seem to be behaving out of the ordinary at all.

“The other hand please, Third Miss Mo.” Bai Yihao looked up with a smile.

Mo Xuetong pulled back her left hand and placed her right hand onto the stack of books with a slight frown.

The diagnosis was taking a longer time than usual. It was much longer than the time he took to diagnose her grandmother. His clear eyes were hidden beneath his long lashes and she could not tell what he wanted to do. It made her feel grave for some reason.

“Sir Bai, is something the matter?” Mo Xuetong asked in confusion.

Given Bai Yihao’s abilities, did he need this long to diagnose a person?

“Third Miss Mo, did you have your period recently and was upset and tired? Your body is a little weak. If you do not lighten up, and your periods will become unpredictable. It would affect your children in the future.” Bai Yihao looked up slowly with a smile. His voice was just as gentle and elegant before. He was calm and did not sound angry.

However, Mo Xuetong flushed immediately when she heard that.

Her cold, beautiful face immediately flamed up. How could he say that to an unmarried girl!

Her health had always been poor. That was true. She did start her period a few days ago, signifying that she was an adult now. However, this was something so embarra.s.sing. Mo Xuetong felt herself flus.h.i.+ng when she heard him say that. Even though he was a physician, he should not be saying something like that to a girl.

This, this was too much!

Mo Xuetong almost wanted to leave right there and then. Was this a topic that an unmarried girl could speak about with a handsome young man?!

“Third Miss Mo, please hold on. Let me write you a prescription, or you will definitely fall gravely ill within the year and might not be able to recover.” Bai Yihao stood up as if he did not see the bright red flush on her pale face. He turned his back to her and went to the table. The papers he wrote prescriptions on were still laid out there.

He thought for a moment before writing.

Mo Xuetong was startled when she saw how naturally he was acting. The shyness on her expression abated a little. And because he was not looking at her, the awkwardness she felt faded slightly as well. She pondered on what he said and frowned slightly. Was her health that weak? Wasn’t she almost recovered after this period of recuperation?

Even Mother Xu was happy at the arrival of her period. She had secretly hinted several times and expressed that Mo Xuetong was really recovered. She would be able to have children when she married. Why did Bai Yihao say that there was something wrong with her?

Mo Xuetong did not believe that Bai Yihao would lie to her about something like that. He did make use of her and push her into the spotlight. Furthermore, he was such a prideful person. He would not do something as low-cla.s.s as this.

“Third Miss Mo, eat less cold foods in the future and consume less nouris.h.i.+ng things. You need to slowly recuperate and should not eat foods that are too heaty or cold. The items written on this prescription are the best for you. You have always been reading medical texts and should know about them.” Bai Yihao turned around and handed the prescription to Mo Xuetong with a slight smile.

“Many thanks, Sir Bai.” Mo Xuetong’s face was still burning but her expression had already calmed down. She curtsied to Bai Yihao and took the prescription. Indeed, she had seen most of the herbs on the prescription and knew that they were beneficial to the human body. However, she had never thought that they could be used together like this.

“I heard that you quite like medicine. I wonder if you like acupuncture?” Bai Yihao asked suddenly and stared into Mo Xuetong’s eyes.

Acupuncture! Mo Xuetong liked it, of course. However, there was no one to teach her so she did not dare to start anything. She had once wanted to learn it, but acupuncture was different from medicine. Even though she wanted to try it, she could not do anything about it and could only give up. When she heard Bai Yihao’s question, she could not help but look up in shock. She did not understand why he was asking her that.

“If Third Miss Mo is interested, I can teach you acupuncture.” Bai Yihao’s voice was elegant, gentle, and gracious. Coupled with the faint smile on his handsome face, many would put down their guards against him. However, Mo Xuetong backed away and lowered her head, saying, “Many thanks for your kindness, Sir Bai but I cannot learn acupuncture from you.”

Firstly, it was inappropriate for an unmarried girl to keep meeting a man whom she was not related to.

Secondly, she did not wish to be so close to Bai Yihao! He had only met her a few times before making use of her. She still did not know why until now. Mo Xuetong did not think that learning acupuncture from him was a good idea. Not knowing acupuncture was better than being used as a chess piece by him. Behind his gentle, elegant, and harmless face, was a cold and vicious heart.

She would not be tricked by such appearance in her second life.
