Yi Xiaorou slept poorly that night; without her beloved by her side, she felt something essential was missing, yet this involuntary longing only made her cherish their relationship more deeply.

After considering it all night, Yi Xiaorou decided she would consult Hua Qingqing today about a specific method. She knew that person adored her fuller **; however, after this recent illness, her ** had shrunk by almost two cup sizes—a situation she absolutely could not tolerate. She was determined to enlarge them back, even bigger than before.

As she stood outside Hua Qingqing’s office door, Yi Xiaorou suddenly flushed, embarrassed by her own actions. How had she become so utterly **? To actually use ** for his pleasure, even thinking about **! This was hardly the behavior of a normal woman.

But then, Yi Xiaorou felt a sense of release. Why worry about appearances? As long as he loved her and she loved him, as long as he was happy, she would willingly do even the most ** deeds. Besides, this alternative kind of ** was incredibly stimulating.

“Xiaorou? Why didn't you call before coming over? Come in quickly,” Hua Qingqing said when she heard the knock.

This floor of the Hua Group Headquarters was strictly secured; no outsiders were allowed access unless they possessed special credentials. Hua Qingqing didn't even have a secretary up here; matters were relayed only through the internal communication system.

“Qingqing, I’m sorry about yesterday; I neglected you. How about I treat you to dinner today?”

Hua Qingqing smiled: “Forget it, Xiaorou. We’re good friends. I’m perfectly content being left on the sidelines now that you two have reconciled.”

Yi Xiaorou was deeply touched. “Qingqing, you know I’ve never had many friends since childhood. To this day, besides him, you are the only close friend I have. Thank you.”

Hua Qingqing walked over and embraced Yi Xiaorou from behind, resting her hands on her shoulders. “Don’t be so sentimental, Sister Xiaorou. Tell me what you came for today. I won't believe you came just for a meal, dragging yourself away from your research. You’re a workaholic.”

Yi Xiaorou chuckled slyly. “I was busy before because the national research schedule was too tight, but things won't be so frantic anymore. Zhao Qian promised to transfer me to his division. I won't hide this from you: you are the chief consultant for the Chairman’s Medical Task Force. But this must be kept absolutely secret. Zhao Qian has been secretly appointed by the Chairman to form a tri-service combat legion and simultaneously develop and produce various novel weapons for the country. I’ll be following him from now on. Based on his usual performance, he certainly won't overwork us. So, just get ready to enjoy the good life from now on.”

Hua Qingqing pondered for a moment. “I never realized Zhao Qian’s capabilities extended this far beyond what I knew. The Chairman’s decision is largely motivated by your father-in-law, isn't it? A significant portion of the military power is held by the Tan family. The Chairman wants to plant a hidden contingent.”

Yi Xiaorou retorted, “He is not my father-in-law. Zhao Qian won't let me marry Tan Tian.”

Hua Qingqing asked, “Are you preparing to confront Tan Tian and file for divorce?”

Yi Xiaorou sighed. “It’s useless. In the eyes of these high-ranking officials, the law has lost all meaning. Even if I appeal to the courts, they won’t take the case. Let Zhao Qian handle it; I trust him.”

Hua Qingqing chided gently, “You always should trust him. Last time, you almost made me look guilty, making me think we were secretly conspiring, just because I gave him one hundred million RMB once.”

Yi Xiaorou’s face reddened. “I learned my lesson after that incident. Can you stop embarrassing me? But I genuinely wonder if there isn't some other relationship between you two. You’re alone together often; hasn't a little spark of romance ignited?”

“You’re trying to kill me, Xiaorou! If you say another word, I’m ignoring you. Do you think I’m like you, trying to steal someone else’s boyfriend?”

Yi Xiaorou’s mood instantly darkened. “Yes, he has too many girlfriends. Zhao Fen is one, Zhao Fang is openly infatuated with him, Fang Yanmeng is even more formidable, and Xiao Chuchu can barely control herself around him.”

Seeing she had touched upon Yi Xiaorou’s sorrow, Hua Qingqing felt a wave of apology. “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have brought that up. But don’t lose heart. With your maturity, sensuality, and beauty, I’m sure you will prevail.”

Yi Xiaorou let go of her worries. “I came to see you precisely because of this. I want breast augmentation. Help me find a fast method.”

Hua Qingqing touched Yi Xiaorou’s chest. “Augment more? Even though you’ve lost weight, you’re still a D-cup. That size is already a bit large for your current frame.”

“Augment!” Yi Xiaorou insisted firmly. “I want an F-cup. Help me, Qingqing.”

“Are you planning to use this to seduce that man?”

Yi Xiaorou didn’t evade the question. “He really likes this area. I can tell; he wishes these were bigger. That’s a common trait among all men.”

Hua Qingqing cautioned, “But you need to think clearly. If ** become too large, it might lead to premature sagging and distortion after breastfeeding.”

“I’m not afraid. I have you for anything. If you’re reluctant about those B-substances, I can ask Zhao Qian to sell you some more?”

“Deal!” Hua Qingqing called out immediately. “You can’t go back on your word now, or I won’t help with the breast augmentation.”

“Fine, Qingqing, you’re plotting against me.”

“Not at all. You said it yourself. Besides, one reason I visited Zhao Qian yesterday was to ask how many more Snake Pearls he had and if he could spare a few more for me. I’m willing to raise the price. Now that his old flame is asking for them herself, it saves me the trouble of bringing it up.”

Yi Xiaorou asked, “Didn’t you say he already sold you six? That’s six hundred doses for ordinary injections—enough to save countless people.”

Hua Qingqing swiftly pulled back the curtains. “Look outside. I fear six hundred Snake Pearls won’t be enough.”

Yi Xiaorou looked out the window. The snow in the courtyard of the Hua Group Headquarters had melted, but in the biting north wind, crowds of people milled about aimlessly in the yard.

“What’s going on? What are they doing?” Yi Xiaorou asked.

Hua Qingqing began to explain slowly: “Of those six Snake Pearls, one was used for testing, two were sold to Professor Chen, and the remaining three allowed me to produce three hundred vials of B-serum. Not long ago, an Arab prince came to our Hua Clinic for treatment. He was a playboy who caught AIDS from a prostitute. You know I’m helpless against that disease, hehe. On the basis of his ten billion US dollars, I injected him with one vial of B-serum. Also, the chairman of the largest retail chain in Star Nation suffered from lung cancer. Based on his status as our Americal region agent for Hua pharmaceuticals and medical equipment, I gave him an injection too. The conditions of these two were globally known; hospitals in developed Western countries were powerless. Yet, after coming to Dragon Country, they were completely cured. How could reporters not dig deeper? Thus, the B-serum was exposed.”

Yi Xiaorou smiled. “Isn’t that better? You can sell them for more money. It’s just unfair to our Zhao Qian. You exchanged six Snake Pearls for one hundred and ten million yuan, but used only one percent of a pearl’s dosage to earn ten billion US dollars.”

Hua Qingqing retorted, “I knew you valued looks over friendship. But do you know the pressure I’m under? As soon as the news leaked, the Chairman called immediately. He reserved 260 vials, saying they were for emergency use by key national personnel. Of course, the Chairman offered me very generous terms. Then my father, acting as head of the family, took 30 vials, saying they were for family use and to smooth things over. To maintain the news blackout, I also gave Director Xiao of the National Television Station 3 vials. Right now, I have 5 vials left. Most of the people outside, apart from reporters from various countries, are family members of patients who heard a whisper of the news online. They block my path clutching a sliver of hope. I’ve had them kneeling and kowtowing; they’re too scared to use the public thoroughfares.”

Yi Xiaorou grew worried too. “You’re in serious trouble. Rumors spread incredibly fast by word-of-mouth in Dragon Country. Even blocking the media won't help. After the Spring Festival, I expect even more people will come begging for the life-saving injection. You need to find a solution quickly.”

A strange smile played on Hua Qingqing’s face. While rubbing Yi Xiaorou’s **, she said, “Alright, Xiaorou, discuss it with Zhao Qian. Ask him to sell me a larger batch all at once. Of course, I know these precious Snake Pearls aren't plentiful, and he needs to keep some for himself. See if you can maximize my request. Besides guaranteeing him satisfaction on the price, I will also help you enlarge your mimi to an F-cup, and I guarantee it will be natural enhancement, not like those inferior techniques that feel wrong to the touch.”

Hua Qingqing’s kneading stirred Yi Xiaorou’s already sensitive body. She shifted uncomfortably on the sofa. “Qingqing, stop rubbing. I’ll try my best to help you, but everything depends on what Zhao Qian decides.”

“That’s fine; that’s all I need to hear. Now, take off your top. Don’t be afraid. I’ll turn up the air conditioning, and I’ll start your treatment right now.”

Yi Xiaorou was very nervous. Besides him, no one else had ever touched her breasts. Although Hua Qingqing was also a woman, and had touched her chest before during medical treatment, Yi Xiaorou still felt inhibited. “Why do I need to take off my clothes? How are you planning to treat me?”

Hua Qingqing extended two slender, fair hands. “My treatment method is massage. Of course, my massage is absolutely different from Zhao Qian’s. Just trust me. I guarantee your cup size will increase by one level in a month.”

No needles, no medicine, no surgery—just breast enlargement through massage, with a guaranteed size increase in one month. The offer was too tempting. Yi Xiaorou finally succumbed to temptation and entered the adjoining office suite where Hua Qingqing kept her resting cot for midday naps. She sat on the bed and began slowly undressing.

Hua Qingqing helped her, saying, “Why do you always wear that military uniform? Can’t you buy some pretty clothes to tempt Zhao Qian? If you don’t make an effort, be careful he doesn’t get snatched away by someone else.”

Yi Xiaorou unhooked her bra with a sigh. “If he wants to leave, there’s nothing I can do. But I know he specifically likes me in this uniform. I’m just catering to his preference.”

Hua Qingqing spat lightly. “Pervert. So he has a uniform fetish.”

Hua Qingqing knelt on the bed, warming her hands before gently caressing Yi Xiaorou’s smooth, pale peaks. Besides being proficient in Western medicine, Hua Qingqing had also studied Traditional Chinese Medicine meridians since childhood, with significant expertise in human acupoints and the endocrine system. She had developed this theory of breast enhancement massage through personal practical research. She herself had been quite flat as a child, but after diligent study, she enlarged her own breasts to a C-cup, believing that size suited her frame perfectly, so she didn't pursue further growth.

Even though they were both women, this intimate contact made Yi Xiaorou incredibly self-conscious. She even became aroused during the process. Fortunately, Hua Qingqing was a doctor, uninhibited by such matters and, instead, highly understanding, which greatly deepened the bond between the two women.
