The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Uh, of course not. As a doctor, I naturally hope that Madam Shen is in good health!" Chen Xuan quickly replied.

"Is that so..." A hint of disappointment appeared on Shen Xirou's face, which she herself did not even notice.

"Of course, madam, your health is the most important thing to me."

"Physician Chen..."

Shen Xirou didn't know what was wrong with her. After spending these days with Chen Xuan, she found that Chen Xuan was almost a perfect person, and he always took care of her feelings. It was very comfortable to be with him.

Her feelings for him grew unconsciously, and now that Chen Xuan had only said one sentence, she was already somewhat...moved.

This was truly an amazing feeling; she had never experienced anything like it when she was empress.

“Right now, what I’m most worried about is your tendency to be depressed. If you continue to worry like this, your health will definitely collapse!” Chen Xuan sighed.

“Sigh, this is a dead end, I also…” Shen Xirou wanted to avoid the question, but Chen Xuan grabbed her hand directly.

"Physician Chen, what's wrong with you...?!" Shen Xirou's face flushed slightly, and she unconsciously turned her head to the side, not daring to meet his gaze.

"I actually have some ideas about your illness, and I'd like to give them a try!"

"This, this is something that Physician Chen can decide for himself. This concubine, this concubine, will let Physician Chen do as he pleases!"

"That's too much of an exaggeration. It's nothing at all. All I can do is a little bit. The most important thing is that I can no longer have you!"

"Then, how will Physician Chen treat my illness?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan chuckled.

He patted his storage bag and pulled out an exquisite box.

"This is for you."

"What...what's in here?"

"You'll know once you open it, Madam!" Chen Xuan smiled slightly and pulled Shen Xirou to sit down.

Shen Xirou was overjoyed to receive Chen Xuan's gift. At Chen Xuan's instruction, she excitedly opened the box.

In Shen Xirou's eyes, what lay in the box was a pair of strangely shaped... objects!

But in Chen Xuan's eyes, it was just a pair of very exquisite crystal high heels.

The crystal high heels emitted a delicate glow; the translucent material and dazzling embellishments complemented each other, presenting a striking aesthetic.

The size perfectly fits Shen Xirou's foot shape.

The shoelaces are made of a string of pearls, each pearl being of uniform size, lustrous, and radiating a soft glow. The pearl laces are gently tied around the ankle, like an elegant ribbon, adding a touch of sophistication to these high heels.

"Do you like it?" Chen Xuan asked.

Shen Xirou nodded quickly: "I like it, I like it very much! But... what is this?!"

"..."

"These are a pair of shoes that I carefully prepared for you."

"Shoes, shoes! How could there be shoes like this?!" Shen Xirou's face instantly turned red.

For someone as conservative as her, who had never seen anything like it before, this thing was too avant-garde.

"Huh? These are just normal high heels, the only difference is that the shoelaces are a little more troublesome!" Chen Xuan scratched his head.

"High heels?! Is this really normal...?" Shen Xirou was still blushing.

“Of course, it’s normal in my hometown. May I put it on for you?” Chen Xuan said seriously.

Shen Xirou covered her red lips in surprise, looked at Chen Xuan, and blushed even more.

“Of course, I can…” she said softly, her voice barely audible.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan slowly squatted down, grabbed Shen Xirou's calf, and took off her embroidered shoes.

In an instant, her flawless jade feet were presented to Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was stunned by the scene before him.

Shen Xirou's feet were as white as jade, with delicate and smooth skin, as if they were the most perfect works of art.

Her feet were long and slender, with beautiful lines, like a pair of delicate butterfly wings. Each toe was crystal clear, like a pearl adorning her feet. Her toes were slightly curved, forming an elegant arc, making one want to gently caress them.

Chen Xuan stared intently at the mutton-fat jade in his hand, a surge of excitement welling up inside him.

Shen Xirou naturally sensed Chen Xuan's gaze and lowered her head shyly. A blush rose on her face, and a sense of satisfaction she had never felt before welled up inside her.

Yes, she had never felt this kind of excitement before.

In that instant, the distance between Chen Xuan and Shen Xirou seemed to grow even closer. Their hearts seemed to resonate, and an indescribable emotion quietly blossomed between them.

"Madam's... is truly..." Chen Xuan praised softly, his voice trembling slightly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xirou's face flushed even more. However, seeing Chen Xuan's infatuated gaze, a sense of joy welled up in her heart.

However, she quickly came to her senses.

Seeing Chen Xuan's slightly stunned expression, she carefully withdrew her foot and said nervously, "Physician Chen, please don't..."

Chen Xuan snapped out of his daze, gave an awkward laugh, and tried to cover up his embarrassment.

"I apologize, Madam, for my rudeness."

Shen Xirou shook her head and said softly, "Physician Chen, you flatter me. I was just..."

Her voice grew softer, and the blush on her face deepened. They remained silent for a moment, then smiled at each other, the awkwardness vanishing completely.

For a moment, Chen Xuan wanted to kidnap the person, but he noticed that there seemed to be an "Empress" watching them, so he didn't do it.

"Madam, I would like to continue what I was unable to finish earlier."

"Physician Chen, please proceed with the task..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled slightly, then squatted down again, picked up the shoes, and gently slipped them onto Shen Xirou's feet. These crystal high heels seemed tailor-made for her, perfectly complementing her elegant demeanor.

Shen Xirou felt Chen Xuan's hand touching her foot, and her heart began to race. She couldn't help but recall the days she had spent with Chen Xuan, and a feeling she had never experienced before surged within her again.

"Physician Chen..."

"Hmm? What's wrong?" Chen Xuan looked up at her, his eyes full of tenderness.

"Thank you, Physician Chen."

"Madam, there's no need for thanks. Seeing you happy is the greatest joy for me."

Chen Xuan stood up and gently stroked Shen Xirou's hair. Feeling this tenderness, Shen Xirou could no longer suppress her emotions.

She finally mustered up the courage to speak her mind.

"Doctor Chen, I'm wondering if we could spend more time together in the future?"

This was the limit of what she could express.

Chen Xuan was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, I am willing to stay by your side, protect you, and take care of you."
