"Take off your clothes and lie down inside."
Siming lowered her gaze and after entering the inner room, she pursed her lips and put down her belongings.
She had just had eye surgery before returning to the country, so she could sense light but everything looked blurry. Relying on her senses, she began taking off her long dress after entering the inner room.
One by one, she removed her clothes. The cold air in the examination room caused goosebumps to rise on her skin, and she couldn't help but shudder slightly.
The next moment, the door was pushed open, startling Siming. Her unfocused gaze turned towards the newcomer.
It should be the doctor.
"Hello, I can't see very clearly. Could you help me to the examination table?"
The other party remained silent, quiet as if she was the only one there.
Yet even in such silence, she felt as if she was in the jungle, being watched by a wild beast from head to toe.
In fact, that was indeed the case. The woman before her had long, straight black hair draped over her bare body. Her translucent white skin looked like exquisite porcelain, or a bewitching temptress, unaware of her allure.
After a long silence without a response, Siming was about to speak again when her arm was gripped by a pair of warm large hands.
"Thank you."
"Spread your legs on either side of the supports and relax your body," a mellow, deep male voice sounded.
Siming's unfocused gaze fell towards the source of the voice. Her face uncontrollably flushed red from embarrassment, but she still tried to remain composed and followed the instructions.
As soon as she was on the supports, the man spread her legs apart. The sound of putting on plastic gloves reached her ears.
"Here for a full body examination?" The man's mellow voice, though just a normal inquiry, made her feel awkward when it reached her ears. She nodded slightly.
"Yes, I want to check if I have any illnesses."
"Which aspect?"
"I had a one-night stand recently, so I want to confirm if I'm healthy."
The room fell silent.
Unsure if he heard, she asked again, "Doctor?"
"Just relax."
"Okay, thank you doctor." Siming closed her eyes, trying her best to relax.
There was no movement from the other side, then suddenly her waist arched involuntarily. Before she could say it hurt, it was already over.
Before leaving the examination room, Siming gripped her extendable cane and asked, "Will the test results be out in a couple days?"
"Yes."
The woman didn't ask any further and left directly.
This was a private hospital, famous for its exorbitant fees, providing one-on-one service, so there weren't many people in the hallways.
The nurse who brought her steadied her, "Miss Si, haven't you been able to reach Mr. Ji? Or should I notify you both together once your premarital check-up results are out?"
"No need."
After the woman left, the nurse turned back, unable to hold back her criticism, "Doctor Gu, these patients nowadays are really bizarre. You'd think since they're here for a premarital check-up, they must be getting married, right? Yet she actually had a one-night stand. That's just too reckless."
After saying that, she instinctively covered her mouth. Doctor Gu usually appeared gentle but disliked people talking too much.
When she turned back, Gu Shixuan was standing by the window, though it wasn't clear what he was looking at.
The man wore a white doctor's coat, with a handsome figure. Even just his side profile was enough to make someone scream. Ever since he joined the hospital, there had been an increase in female patients.
Unfortunately, this man exuded an aura of abstinence and aloofness that made people's hearts itch even more.
The little nurse thought he hadn't heard and was about to leave after cleaning up when she suddenly heard him say, "I was her one-night stand partner."
The nurse froze, opened the door to leave, then gasped in realization.
Before getting in the car, Siming still tried calling Ji Jinghui's number.
But it was still busy.
The one who came to pick her up was Ji Jinghui's secretary, Lin Nuo.
Siming stood there listening to Lin Nuo make calls for about three minutes before the secretary came over in her high heels.
"Miss Si, Mr. Ji is in a meeting, so it will be a while. I can only take you back to the villa first. Have you finished your check-up?"
Before Siming could answer, Lin Nuo answered another call, "Hello, Mr. Huang. Yes, you're right. Okay, let me ask Mr. Ji about that for you."
Siming stepped down and started walking forward. Seeing this, Lin Nuo hurriedly hung up and chased after her, her tone filled with reproach and complaint, "Miss Si, your eyes aren't good. Why are you walking around? There are cars everywhere outside this hospital entrance."
Siming calmly replied, "So you also know there are cars everywhere outside the hospital entrance. I thought Secretary Lin wanted me to stand there like a tree for people to crash into."
Lin Nuo choked, a flash of annoyance crossing her face. As Ji Jinghui's chief secretary who called the shots in the company, when had she ever been insulted like this?
"Miss Si, I was on the phone earlier, you heard..."
"So?"
Siming asked calmly.
Swallowing her anger, Lin Nuo said arrogantly, "Mr. Ji is very busy. As someone close to him, I naturally have things to handle first. Miss Si, you're about to marry Mr. Ji. If you can't even tolerate this, how can you be a virtuous wife for him?"
"In what capacity are you lecturing me?" Faced with Lin Nuo's provocation, Siming's tone remained calm from start to finish.
It was precisely this nonchalant demeanor that made Lin Nuo feel like she was punching cotton.
"Fine, I won't say anything more. Please get in the car."
"No need. Have Ji Jinghui come find me himself." Without another word, she refused. Then, a Bentley pulled up in front of them. The butler Zhong Bo got out and opened the door for Siming, "Young Miss, there's some traffic, please get in the car quickly. The Old Master is waiting for you at home for dinner."
Siming nodded, but before getting in, she instinctively looked up towards the windows upstairs.
She didn't know why, but she had a lingering feeling that someone was watching her intently.
Just like the feeling of being watched in the examination room earlier.
"Let's go."
She didn't care if Lin Nuo would tattle to Ji Jinghui. She knew who she was relying on to be so arrogant.
It was simply because Ji Jinghui's former lover Lin Zhiwei had returned to the country.
And Lin Nuo was just Lin Zhiwei's cousin.
With Lin Zhiwei around, what did Lin Nuo's work ability matter?
As for herself, Ji Jinghui's girlfriend, ever since her brother went missing, her mother died in a plane crash, and she subsequently lost her eyesight, the once brilliant Siming had faded into obscurity, becoming dispensable.
Siming suddenly couldn't recall how she and Ji Jinghui had reached this point in their relationship.
It seemed to start from when Lin Zhiwei returned and he began continuously standing her up, even abandoning her at the hotel on her birthday due to a call from Lin Zhiwei.
If not for that man who suddenly appeared, she, the blind and disgraced former young miss of the Si family, might have been caught by paparazzi for her wanton behavior, making headlines and bringing more scandal to the Si family.
Siming had no idea who she had spent that spring night with. All she could vaguely remember was waking up with marks all over her body and the news that her grandfather's condition was critical.
