A Big Shot s Woman Is Wild and Fierce - Chapter 716

Chapter 716: Chapter 715: Using Acupuncture to Aid Awakening
Since the patient’s condition was very stable, and Sun Ning was there, and Wen Xin was indeed too exhausted, she didn’t bother with formalities with Sun Ning and left immediately with her backpack over her shoulder.

“I’ll take you,” Rost said, not knowing why he always wanted to be near Wen Xin, and he didn’t want to miss even this opportunity to take her home.

Surprised by Luo Qiete’s proactive offer, Wen Xin stopped, turned to look at him, and was about to refuse.

However, thinking of the announcement Luo Qiete had made before the surgery, she didn’t hesitate any longer and nodded in agreement, as she happened to have something she wanted to ask him too.

“Okay.”

With Wen Xin’s consent, Luo Qiete quickened his pace noticeably, soon walking alongside Wen Xin, leaving the hospital together.

Wen Xin sat in the back seat of Luo Qiete’s car, leaned back lazily in the seat, closed her eyes, and announced the name of the hotel for Luo Qiete to take her to.

Before Wen Xin, Luo Qiete was like a chauffeur, a type of treatment he had never imagined, as it had been a long time since anyone had treated him like that.

“How old are you this year?” Through the rearview mirror, Luo Qiete asked softly, looking at Wen Xin who sat like a boss.

“What does my age have to do with you? Our relationship is purely professional; there seems no need for me to declare my family to you, does there?”

Wen Xin didn’t open her eyes, but she could clearly sense Luo Qiete looking at her, not knowing why he was, but it made her quite displeased.

Perhaps sensing that Wen Xin’s tone was unfriendly, Luo Qiete wisely chose to close his mouth, not saying anything more and just quietly drove, taking Wen Xin back to the hotel.

Outside the hotel, Wen Xin got out of the car, completely ignoring Luo Qiete who had also stepped out, and walked directly into the hotel without looking back.

Not knowing how he had offended Wen Xin, Luo Qiete felt it was somewhat inexplicable, but still, he knew better than to bother her and simply watched her enter the hotel.

In the hotel, Chu Yunxuan stood in the lobby, witnessing this strange scene, doubting her own eyes and for some reason feeling that Luo Qiete’s gaze towards Wen Xin was somewhat peculiar.

Chu Yunxuan approached Wen Xin, who was coming in, laid a hand on Wen Xin’s shoulder, and asked with curiosity.

“What? Why was it him who brought you back?”

Wen Xin naturally knew whom Chu Yunxuan was referring to, and she gave her a cold glance, pulling Chu Yunxuan’s arm off her shoulder.

“I don’t know the circumstances; I originally intended to discuss with him his rejection of Independent State, but after thinking it over, it seemed this matter wasn’t of much relevance to me, so I did not bother with it.”

“I’m so tired, let’s not talk about it now, I’m going to take a bath and sleep!”

Wen Xin walked straight into the elevator, not caring whether Chu Yunxuan followed, pressed the elevator button, and went up to rest.

After more than a week of waiting and treatment, Sun Ning and Wen Xin, looking at the examination report of Luo Qiete’s mother, You Su, furrowed their brows unconsciously.

According to the data in the report, You Su was already in a condition suitable for awakening, yet for some reason, she still hadn’t come to.

“The patient’s condition has reached the standard for awakening, but why hasn’t she woken up yet?”

Sun Ning placed the report on Wen Xin’s desk and gently tapped it with his finger, signaling to Wen Xin.

“I’m not sure what’s going on, but I’m considering whether we can use traditional Chinese medicine to try to awaken the patient.”

Wen Xin sat lazily in her chair, herself somewhat uncertain as to why the patient, having met the criteria for awakening, had not yet come to.

“Traditional Chinese medicine?”

Sun Ning had seen Wen Xin use acupuncture to treat Mu Chengxi before, but he had never seen anyone awaken a patient with traditional Chinese medicine.

“Yes, acupuncture. To stimulate awakening. I’m going to prepare; you go check the patient’s blood oxygen levels for me, while I fetch the tools.”

After speaking, Wen Xin turned and walked out. Sun Ning watched her retreating back, deep in thought. He was skeptical about traditional Chinese medicine, not believing that what Western medicine couldn’t solve, traditional Chinese medicine could.

When Wen Xin returned to You Su’s ward, she carried her backpack. Sun Ning involuntarily glanced behind Wen Xin.

“What did you go to fetch? You came back with just your backpack?”

“The stuff’s in the backpack!”

Wen Xin said this and put her backpack on a table beside her, then took out a black cloth bag from it. Sun Ning was somewhat familiar with this bag; it contained the silver needles Wen Xin had used when she saved Mu Chengxi.

“You’re going to use acupuncture to stimulate awakening?” Sun Ning watched Wen Xin prepare and felt puzzled. He didn’t understand the rationale; could it really be used for awakening?

“Just watch, no need to ask too many questions.” Wen Xin didn’t have the patience to explain things to Sun Ning; she could only let him witness the results.

Wen Xin’s hands moved deftly, quickly sterilizing all the silver needles, then pressed them densely into You Su’s body.

It wasn’t until Wen Xin finished inserting over thirty silver needles that she stood up, her forehead now beaded with a thin layer of sweat.

“Does acupuncture take that much physical effort?” Sun Ning asked, noting the sweat sliding down Wen Xin’s cheeks, his query laced with disbelief. He had never thought of acupuncture as something so physically demanding.

Wen Xin glanced at the time on her wrist, then raised her head to look at Sun Ning, speaking in a calm, gentle tone, “Some techniques are different; they require ‘True Qi’, so they appear to be more physically demanding.”

“Wait for fifteen minutes, once the silver needles are removed, there should be an effect!”

Hearing Wen Xin say this, Sun Ning also took out his phone to check the time, eager to witness a miracle.

Fifteen minutes was not a long time, but when awaiting a miracle, those fifteen minutes seemed particularly lengthy. After checking his phone for the fifth time, Sun Ning finally reached the moment.

“Wen… Wen Xin, is it time? Can we remove the needles now?”

Wen Xin, who had been resting with her eyes closed in a chair, opened her eyes upon hearing Sun Ning’s words, looked at the time, and slowly stood up. She walked to You Su’s side and began removing the silver needles one by one, starting with the first one and proceeding in an orderly fashion.

Watching in surprise from the sidelines, Sun Ning felt that Wen Xin’s technique was incredibly impressive. Not only was her acupuncture skillful, but her memory was remarkable as well, each needle removed in the correct sequence without error.
