Chapter 655: Chapter 655: Let Me Give You a Massage

Xinlan, what can I do to make you completely forget him, to keep me as the only one in your heart, forever and ever?

When Lin Xinlan woke up, she was met with an enlarged, handsome face of Rong Shaoze.

She was in her own bed at home, but she had no idea when she had arrived or when he had placed her upon the bed.

Rong Shaoze had been sitting by the bedside, staring at her without moving.

Upon seeing her awake, he reached out to caress her face, his brow furrowed with concern, "Have you been feeling unwell lately? I’ve noticed you’ve become somewhat haggard."

Although he saw her every day, he still clearly observed the changes in her.

She was only twenty-five, yet she appeared to look thirty.

Even though there isn’t a huge difference between twenty-five and thirty and people don’t change much, there were still subtle changes that couldn’t be ignored.

A shock went through Lin Xinlan, and her complexion instantly paled.

She quickly pushed him away and ran to the mirror, looking closely at herself; she looked the same as when she went out at noon, but her complexion seemed a shade duller.

After all, her skin didn’t have the same radiance as before, like a pearl dusted with a thin layer of ash—still shining, yet not as brightly as it used to.

Rong Shaoze walked up behind her, and as she turned around nervously, she asked him, "Do I really look much more haggard? Do I look old and ugly now?"

The man pulled her into his arms and hugged her with a chuckle, "It’s not that serious; you are just as beautiful as before. I just think you look very tired. Are you feeling unwell? If you are, you have to tell me, and we’ll go to the hospital to check."

Lin Xinlan quickly shook her head, "No, I’m in great health. I’m probably just really tired. You know, suddenly coming back home and relaxing the tension, one can feel especially exhausted. Maybe I’ll be fine after a few days of rest."

"Really?" Rong Shaoze asked dubiously, to which Lin Xinlan nodded vigorously, "Of course. Don’t you believe me?"

"Of course, I believe you. Then you should rest well these few days. Come, let me give you a massage."

He led her back to the bed and had her lie down on her stomach.

Lin Xinlan was surprised, "You know how to massage?"

"Don’t underestimate me."

"I was just wondering how you learned to massage. Have you massaged others before?" she asked with a laugh.

Rong Shaoze smiled while gesturing for her to lie down before he answered, "Back when training was too exhausting, we would massage each other. Back then, I was forced to learn by Xu Yao. But don’t worry, I’ve only massaged him, no other woman has enjoyed my service."

Lin Xinlan turned her head curiously, "Xu Yao trained with you when he was young?"

Rong Shaoze nodded, "Yes, he was sent to Yanhuang Headquarters for training when he was six; we grew up together."

"His parents sent him?" Lin Xinlan was even more surprised. Rong Shaoze’s training was because he was to inherit Yanhuang; he had no choice.

Why would Xu Yao go, and how could his parents bear to send him to suffer like that?

Besides, being a member of Yanhuang meant that one couldn’t lead a normal life. What were his parents really thinking?

Rong Shaoze naturally knew what she was thinking, and he said in a low voice, "Xu Yao’s father used to run a medium-sized enterprise,
