The Rise of a General's Daughter-in-Law Doctor

Li Muxia was actually a little uneasy when she asked the question. She knew that any man with some power in the family usually had more than one woman behind him. Some even took pride in having many women in their harem, believing that the more women they had, the stronger they were. Li Muxia was afraid that Long Ziheng had the same idea. She couldn't accept sharing a husband with other women from the bottom of her heart.

Hearing Li Muxia's words, Long Ziheng found it somewhat amusing, but also understood. He hadn't given an immediate answer, but was instead thinking about how to tell her about his situation and put her mind at ease.

However, his silence was interpreted as unwillingness by Li Muxia.

Li Muxia got up somewhat angrily and turned to leave.

Upon seeing this, Long Ziheng quickly stood up and grabbed Li Muxia's hand.

Li Muxia flung her hand away and said, "I know what you're thinking. I am a jealous person, and I will never marry a man with many wives and concubines. Moreover, let me tell you clearly, I will never share a husband with other women. If you can't promise to be faithful to one man for life, then let's break up now."

Knowing that Li Muxia had misunderstood him, Long Ziheng grabbed Li Muxia's hand again and said, "Muxia, don't worry, my heart is very small. You alone occupy my entire heart, and there is no room for anyone else."

Although the words were a bit cheesy, Li Muxia's heart still pounded uncontrollably after hearing them.

She asked somewhat shyly, "Is everything you said true?"

Long Ziheng smiled and nodded, pulling Li Muxia into his arms, and then said, "It's absolutely true, and you don't need to worry about this at all."

At this point, Long Ziheng released Li Muxia, pulled her back to her original seat, and said seriously, "I hesitated and didn't answer you right away because I was thinking about how to tell you this."

Seeing Li Muxia's serious expression, Long Ziheng took a deep breath and slowly explained that he was allergic to women.

Fifteen years ago, after Long Ziheng's mother passed away, he began to learn martial arts from the sword immortal Situ Nanqiao.

As a result, when she was just six years old, she was captured by Hu Sanniang of the Crane Palace, a suitor of Situ Nanqiao, and used to coerce and entice Situ Nanqiao. However, Situ Nanqiao did not fall for her tricks at the time, and so Long Ziheng was imprisoned for three days.

During this time, the women of the Crane Palace, seeing his good looks, would frequently grope him. He was young then and powerless against them. Fortunately, these women weren't so depraved as to do such indecent things to a six-year-old child. Nevertheless, their actions caused psychological harm to young Long Ziheng. From then on, Long Ziheng became extremely averse to contact with women; to the point that any skin-to-skin contact with a woman would immediately cause him to break out in rashes and vomit.

Li Muxia had heard of the Crane Palace. It was a palace exclusively for women; men were rarely seen throughout the year. While women could marry, marriage meant leaving the Crane Palace. The palace had a rule: once married, one had to relinquish all martial arts and internal energy learned within the palace, abandoning their status as a Crane Palace disciple. Married women were forbidden from ever setting foot in the Crane Palace again. Because of this rule, most people were unwilling to leave; after all, cultivating martial arts was difficult, and no one wanted to give it up easily.

Most of the women who entered the Crane Palace came with the intention of never marrying, but there were exceptions, such as Hu Sanniang.

Hu Sanniang originally came to the Crane Palace with the intention of never marrying, but she fell in love with Situ Nanqiao at the martial arts tournament and began to pursue him relentlessly, which became a laughing stock in the martial arts world at the time.

These were things Li Muxia didn't know. Seeing the heartache on Long Ziheng's face, as a doctor, she naturally knew that Long Ziheng was suffering from a mental illness. Physical illnesses were relatively easy to treat, but mental illnesses were truly difficult to cure. Moreover, she wasn't a professional psychologist and had absolutely no idea how to treat him.

Although Long Ziheng has grown up now, his childhood experiences still caused him severe psychological trauma, which makes Li Muxia feel sorry for him from the bottom of her heart.

However, I still asked the question that was on my mind: "Are you better now?"

Long Ziheng looked at Li Muxia, shook his head, and said, "No."

Hearing this, Li Muxia felt a little confused and said, "Then didn't you tell me before..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but Long Ziheng understood what Li Muxia meant. After all, the two had shared more than just physical contact before; they had even kissed.

He began to explain, "I don't know what's going on, but I don't think I'm allergic to you, and I really enjoy being with you...."

He felt a little embarrassed to say these words, but he still spoke his mind.

Upon hearing this, Li Muxia blushed. She lowered her head and said, "So you're only with me now because you don't have an allergic reaction to me, are you?"

Long Ziheng: "No, if I didn't like you, even if you didn't have an allergic reaction to me, I wouldn't touch you. So, you don't need to doubt that my feelings for you are real. I really like you and want to spend my life with you."

Hearing Long Ziheng's confession, Li Muxia's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp, and she lowered her head even further.

Seeing that Li Muxia didn't react, Long Ziheng assumed she didn't believe him and continued, "Muxia, I really like you, and I've liked you for a long time. I swear to God, if I'm lying, may I..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Muxia covered his mouth.

Li Muxia said somewhat awkwardly, "Did I say I didn't believe it? Why are you swearing an oath?"

Feeling the small hand on his mouth, Long Ziheng relaxed completely. She must be worried about him; she cares about him too.

Li Muxia also felt the warmth from her palm and the tingling sensation from Long Ziheng's lips touching her. The electric-like feeling made Li Muxia quickly withdraw her hand.

But Long Ziheng grabbed her arm and looked at the somewhat bewildered Li Muxia, saying earnestly, "Muxia, what I said is true. Can you give me a chance and forgive me this time?"

The string in Li Muxia's heart snapped at Long Ziheng's words, but she still stubbornly said, "I'll forgive you this time, but you can't lie to me again. I'm only giving you this one chance."

After listening to Li Muxia's words, Long Ziheng felt a bit conflicted. He knew there were still many things he hadn't told her, but he would tell her slowly in the future. If he told her everything now, she definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.

This time, I think I've passed.
