Chapter 496: Inspection
In a private room, Li Chen met Luo Ruoling.
Her white wool sweater and plaid pleated mini-skirt, particularly highlighted by flesh-colored pantyhose wrapping her slender, eye-catching legs.
The delicate features on her beautiful face, fair, porcelain-like skin, and those clear, animated eyes.
At first glance, she gave off a very comfortable vibe.
At this moment, Luo Ruoling's complexion was slightly pale.
But the moment he saw her, Li Chen couldn't stop his heart from fluttering slightly.
He had seen her on TV occasionally, but now, seeing her in person, he realized she was even more beautiful than on screen.
Especially that unique aura about her.
Calm, natural, and elegantly understated.
It inexplicably made one feel an affinity towards her, yet it wasn't too casual.
A woman with a vibrant spirit indeed.
No wonder she could stand out in the fiercely competitive entertainment industry and become a top young actress.
Even surrounded by numerous girls, Li Chen was still taken aback at first glance.
"You are...?"
Luo Ruoling raised her finely arched eyebrows, looking at Li Chen in his white coat with a trace of confusion on her pretty face.
She probably knew where her illness lay.
Why has a male doctor come in?
"My name is Li Chen, and I'm here to treat you," Li Chen said indifferently.
"Ah?" Luo Ruoling startled, her expression suddenly changing, "You're a man, how can you treat me? Where's Director Zhang?"
Her voice was clean and ethereal, very pleasant to hear.
Li Chen's heart trembled a bit.
Approaching her, he smiled and said, "Director Zhang suggested surgery, which you disagreed with, right? I practice Chinese medicine and can treat your condition with traditional methods."
"You? Chinese medicine?"
"What? Doesn't seem like it?"
In Luo Ruoling's eyes was a hint of curiosity mixed with disbelief.
This man looked about her age—how could such a young Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor be capable of treating her?
Li Chen, sensing her doubts, smiled helplessly and said, "You've brought so many people that even our dean was alarmed. If I weren't here to treat you, could I have gotten in? You don't think I'm one of your fans, do you?"
At Li Chen's teasing words, Luo Ruoling felt slightly embarrassed and whispered, "Those people were arranged by my dad to protect me. I didn't want it."
Her cheeks flushed slightly, a bit shy, without any airs at all.
If it were a stranger, they would never guess she was the famous top young actress known across the region.
Li Chen was utterly astonished.
She didn't at all seem like someone from the entertainment industry but more like an inexperienced student.
But, from Luo Ruoling's words, he could sense that her background was not simple.
No wonder Han Yue never mentioned any scandals about her; it was always about films and music.
After chatting for a bit and seeing the skepticism in her eyes gradually fade, Li Chen spoke, "Now can I examine you?"
"You mean you can do it without surgery, right? Then... how will you examine me?" Luo Ruoling hesitated before asking.
"Let's start with taking your pulse, and check it out."
"Oh!"
Luo Ruoling didn't resist and obediently held out her hand.
Li Chen looked at her fair, delicate wrist, and pressed his hand upon it.
Even though Gao Jianming had already shown him the medical reports, and of course, he had no reason to doubt them, Traditional Chinese Medicine has its methods of treatment, and pulse-taking was a crucial first step.
It allowed a comprehensive understanding of the patient's physical condition to tailor the treatment to acute symptoms.
His hand felt her skin, icy smooth and soft.
The skin was too good, especially smooth, both white and tender, and Li Chen found himself swaying again.
Soon, a diagnosis was made, but he lingered a bit longer on her radiant wrists.
"Your condition is indeed somewhat complicated," Li Chen said in a deep voice.
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Ruoling's face turned even paler, a bit panicked, "Doctor Li, what exactly is wrong with me?"
"Recently, I have been feeling weak all over, unable to concentrate, dizzy, thinking it was due to filming exhaustion. But these past few days, the situation has worsened. Today on set, I nearly fainted, and then... it's been particularly painful there. Do I have some serious illness?"
Her lively eyes fell on Li Chen, filled with fear and apprehension.
"I need to examine you further before I can conclude," he said.
Looking at her in this state, Li Chen was moved.
His gaze swept over her full, proud chest and then over her silky legs. To say he felt no stirring would be impossible.
He swallowed hard and said, "Lift your clothes a bit, I need to feel it to confirm."
Luo Ruoling was startled, "Feel... feel where?"
"Here!" Li Chen extended his hand, lightly tapped through her clothes at her lower abdomen, "These past two days, hasn't this area been significantly painful?"
"Yes! But..."
Luo Ruoling looked down shyly and nodded.
On her exquisitely beautiful face, there was hesitation. How could a girl's body be exposed and touched by a strange man?
Just the thought flushed her face with shame.

"I'm a doctor, and also a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine. Inspection is necessary for treatment. If I don't check you properly, how can I treat you?" Li Chen said with a smile, his heart racing with excitement.
Seizing the opportunity to examine her, and admiring the beautiful body of a young girl, was indeed an incredibly thrilling matter.
She was so beautiful, in fine health.
More importantly, she was the current popular starlet, a goddess in countless people's hearts.
Just thinking about it was very exhilarating.
Moreover, her problem was indeed below. Li Chen wasn't lying.
"But..."
Luo Ruoling still struggled, visibly uncomfortable, unable to let go.
"If it really doesn't work, then I suggest you undergo surgery!"
"I roughly know your condition, I just need to confirm it further for more effective treatment."
"Honestly, I'm ninety percent sure I can cure your condition without surgery, if I can just examine you properly, I can be even surer."
Li Chen was decisive, not giving her much time to think.
"Well...okay then!"
After a long struggle, Luo Ruoling overcame her shyness.
Now, with shooting at a critical juncture, if she had to undergo surgery, it would undoubtedly delay for a long time, and the whole crew would have to wait for her.
Moreover, as a woman who loved beauty, she didn't want to have scars from surgery.
Bowing her head, her hands trembling, she grasped the edge of her wool sweater and lifted it up.
Li Chen's eyes widened suddenly.
Looking at the swath of white revealed under the clothes, it was somewhat dazzling.
Her skin was really too good.
So white, so tender.
Perhaps it was youthfulness that kept it so tight.
Just by looking, Li Chen felt a tremor in his mind, his blood surged, and the giant thing below unconsciously reacted.
"Relax, my hand is coming up now."
Noticing her tensed body, Li Chen couldn't hold back any longer and reached out his hand.
