Chapter 10, Migraines and Essential Oils

"It doesn't matter, it's not like it fell into someone else's hands, it can't be lost. I'll go back to get it tomorrow." Despite saying this, Xin Yitian did not want to have too much contact with Xie De, so as soon as she got home, she called Dong Quan. Dong Quan replied that Mr. Xie had already gone to bed, and he would help her retrieve the forgotten essential oil box tomorrow.

Mr. Xie has a very stubborn temperament, especially when he is ill. I would like you to come to the hotel to persuade him to go to the hospital. He has a very important meeting to attend tomorrow morning and cannot be absent. Mr. Xie's condition is worsening, and Dong Quanyi is both worried and fearful of the responsibility should anything happen.

Xin Yitian had fallen asleep on the sofa in the living room while waiting. Awakened by the sound of footsteps, she opened her eyes to see Xie De, dressed in a bathrobe, personally escorting Xiao Yao out as a gesture of gratitude. After a moment of surprise, she lowered her head to avoid his gaze and silently sat up straight. Xie De had always thought that Xiao Yao was invited by Dong Quan, and upon seeing her suddenly, his expression changed drastically as he sternly shouted, "What are you doing here?" He quickly realized his mistake and gritted his teeth, saying, "Whether I live or die is none of your business"

Xin Yitian succumbed under his silent reproachful gaze, trembling as he turned his head away and softly said: "What is the reason for this?"

Wow, so many! Little Yao looked astonished, "Essential oil massage is the most effective, but it's just too expensive." She leaned in to take a closer look, "Can it be used directly?"

"It has nothing to do with me, so I will leave now," she said irritably. A dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a good person's heart. He now has the strength to curse, it seems the migraine has subsided.

This essential oil is indeed excellent and can be used to create top-quality perfumes. I usually use it as a skincare product, blending it myself and applying it directly to my face. Let me tell you a joke: I used this rose essential oil for a back massage, and the next day my period started. It was truly terrifying

Do not recognize

Wei was so angry that he didn't know what to say, "What kind of friends are you associating with?"

Dong Quan wanted to take them back. Xin Yitian declined, saying, "No need, it's very convenient to take a taxi here. You've been busy all night, so hurry back and get some sleep. You have to drive tomorrow."

As for the patient, one should be understanding. However, wealthy individuals are quite peculiar; do they all earn money at the expense of their health? He is still young, appearing to be just in his early twenties, yet how could he suffer from migraines? This ailment is a stubborn one, excruciatingly painful, and very difficult to cure

Xiao Yao repeatedly apologized, "I am sorry, I forgot to take it out after placing it on the table in the bedroom."

Early in the morning, Xie De had already gotten up. When Dong Quan brought him the materials for the meeting for his review, he found him sitting on the sofa fiddling with the essential oils in a wooden box. He first opened each one, inhaled the fragrance inside, and then put them back in order, seemingly enjoying the activity endlessly. There was a type of essential oil spray that he picked up and sprayed twice into the air, instantly filling the room with the scent of roses, which lingered for a long time.

Wei carefully fastened her seatbelt, gazing at her serene little face as she slept, which appeared even more delicate. The way she slept was so quiet and well-behaved, entirely different from her usual boldness and arrogance, making her all the more endearing, prompting a deep sigh from him. Many of her peers had just graduated from university, while she had already dropped out, gotten married, and divorced, experiencing numerous hardships that an ordinary person might not encounter in a lifetime.

Xin Yitian hurriedly stopped him, "Ah, stop it—don't speak so harshly—" She looked towards the door, weakly rubbed her forehead, and bit her lip as she said, "You should rest well. I'm leaving." Taking advantage of his inattention, she quickly slipped past him.

"Are you afraid, yet you still go to such places?" Wei could not help but admonish her

Dong Quan stood by, not daring to speak. He thought to himself that Miss Xin must be quite anxious now

Xiao Yao wore a hesitant expression, "Now?"

To untie the bell, one must find the person who tied it.

Wang Yishi defended herself with a sense of grievance: "I went with friends, there were many people, at first everyone was fine, drinking, chatting, playing games... then, I don't know what happened..."

Xie waved his hand and said weakly, "It's nothing, a good sleep will do. Just help me a bit." Dong Quan quickly assisted him back to his room, noticing that he was gritting his teeth so hard that his temples bulged out, with the veins clearly visible. He hurriedly asked, "Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

The pressure is immense. A single decision can easily involve tens of millions, affecting the lives and interests of countless individuals

As night fell, the dazzling lights in the center of the hall cascaded down like pouring mercury. Through the glass wall, he saw Xie De's car speeding towards him, coming to a sudden stop at the entrance. He speculated that Xin Yitian was also inside. After the incident at the "Jingxin Hotel," he feared that her entering and seeing him would be awkward, so he immediately stood up and changed his seat, nestling into the corner sofa with his back to the entrance.

Xiao Yao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, "Hah, I thought you understood quite well, you almost had me fooled just now! Alright, give me the box, I will handle it myself." She carried the essential oil wooden box inside, first massaging her back, then switching to her neck, and after the neck, she moved on to her head, until her hands ached from the pressure. Only after she expressed her fatigue did Xie let her off the hook.

I am grateful that this time the migraine not only occurred severely, but also lasted for an exceptionally long duration

He was carrying a basin to fetch water when suddenly there was a muffled bang on the ground. Xie felt as if someone was chiseling at his head, blow after blow, as if they were trying to excavate his brain matter; he had never experienced such terrifying pain before. He could no longer bear it and fell from the bed, rolling several times on the floor before coming to a stop. This fall frightened Dong Quan, who sensed that something serious was about to happen. After helping him back to bed, he immediately went outside to call Xin Yitian.

All the assistants and bodyguards who came to Beijing with Xie were given the night off. Upon hearing the news of the holiday, everyone was delighted and began to speculate in whispers about who the boss might be dating, as the arrangements were kept so secretive, which was quite rare for such matters

Little Yao curiously asked her on the road: "What relation is Mr. Xie to you?"

Xie's migraine has a long history, with no warning signs before an attack. Sometimes during a meeting, a sudden headache strikes, but after a few minutes, it subsides; other times, on a rainy day, one side of his head feels as if it is about to explode, lasting for several hours; and sometimes, just half an hour before a negotiation, when it is his turn to take the stage, the pain suddenly disappears

She immediately said, "I will pay you double the fare for the round trip taxi."

Dong Quan took a deep breath and smiled, saying: "This scent is truly delightful. Miss Xin forgot to take it with her last night and was quite anxious, saying that she uses it every day"

Wei averted his gaze from her and said gently yet firmly: "I have never thought of it this way"

Wei, feeling a pang of compassion, sat down beside her bed and gently urged her: "Yishi, you should not treat yourself this way. You are still young; do not give up on yourself..."

Xin Yitian smiled and made an "OK" gesture, saying, "I have a friend in France. When she returns to the country, I will ask her to bring it for you, but it is a bit expensive. I saved and scrimped for a whole year to buy these essential oils!" At this point, she reached out to pat her bag, only to find it completely empty, and then remembered that she had left the essential oil box at the hotel.

The two of them took a taxi to the Intercontinental Hotel where Xie was staying. Dong Quan came down to greet them. Xiao Yao followed him into the room and was taken aback, whispering in Xin Yitian's ear, "The presidential suite! What does your relative do? Is he involved in the underworld?" Xin Yitian placed her right index finger on her lips and gently shushed her. Xiao Yao expressed her nervousness, muttering softly, "What if the massage isn't done well, or if there's something he doesn't like? Will we get beaten? It's the middle of the night, and I feel so on edge."

Xie turned around, curling up with his back to him, and shook his head slightly, causing the towel on his forehead to fall onto the bed. Dong Quan picked up the towel and threw it into the basin, feeling anxious and unsure of what to do. He was unfamiliar with Beijing, afraid of Xie's blame, and did not dare to make a fuss; the only person he knew was Xin Yitian. However, it was so late that he did not want to disturb her rashly. If Mr. Xie had made good progress with her tonight, he would not have triggered a migraine.

Who are those two people

Xiao Yao made a helpless expression, "It's not a matter of money... well, for your sake." She quickly changed her clothes, tying up her hair while searching everywhere for the massage cream

What about the others? Do your friends not care if you are drugged and taken advantage of?

So many people, around twenty, are known everywhere

"Do not recognize?" Wei then raised his voice, "Do not recognize you drinking recklessly with others?"

Xie turned his head to look at him and asked, "Aren't you a masseur?"

Dong Quan was not familiar with Beijing, and he did not want to go out drinking and socializing with everyone. With nowhere to go, he had no choice but to sit idly in the hotel lobby to pass the time. He recalled that his young boss had been eagerly learning magic tricks with an assistant whenever he had free time these past few days. He had also sent him to a magic shop to buy some practical props, such as playing cards, ribbons, coins, and flowers. Although no reason was given, he could guess that it was likely to win Miss Xin's favor.

The car had been parked there for a long time without any sign of movement. The hotel staff, sensing something was amiss, approached and knocked on the window. A person named Xie came down, his steps somewhat unsteady, and he stumbled slightly while going up the stairs, nearly falling. He pushed the door open and staggered inside. Dong Quan noticed something was wrong; Xie's face was as pale as paper, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he wore a familiar expression of enduring pain. Dong Quan hurried over and asked with concern, "Mr. Xie, what happened to you? Is your migraine acting up again?" He pushed the door open and staggered inside. Dong Quan noticed something was wrong; Xie's face was as pale as paper, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and he wore a familiar expression of enduring pain. Dong Quan hurried over and asked with concern, "Mr. Xie, what happened to you? Is your migraine acting up again?"

When she received a call from Dong Quan, she felt nauseous and on the verge of vomiting due to staring at the computer for too long. Her physical condition was poor, and her mood was low. Dong Quan briefly mentioned the situation regarding Xie De. She was silent at first, then sighed and asked, "Brother Dong, what do you want me to do?"

Wang Yishi wore a deep V blue short dress, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, and even the beautiful shape of her chest was visible. Wei Xian took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders, half supporting and half carrying her as her consciousness became increasingly hazy, dragging her out of the bar. Once in the car, Wang Yishi leaned her head back against the seat and fell asleep.

She picked up her bag and was about to pass by him when Xie suddenly reached out to stop her. He fixed his gaze on her, silent, his dark eyes slicing through her fragile nerves like a blade. The air was thick with a tension that was ready to explode.

"I am not preventing you from getting married; I just want you to talk to me, just for tonight. Is that too much to ask?" Wang Yishi looked at him with pleading eyes

Isn't it said that going to the hospital is useless for treating migraines

Xin Yitian briefly mentioned, "Well... he is just a distant relative... his temper is not very good, so don't take it to heart."

Hello? The other end of the phone was filled with noisy and chaotic sounds, making it impossible for him to hear what the other person was saying. He frowned and asked, "Where are you?"

Dong Quan led Xiao Yao into the bedroom. Upon seeing Xie De, whose features were almost contorted in pain on the bed, she quickly adjusted the essential oils and sat down at the foot of the bed to give him a head massage. The pleasant aroma of the pure natural plant essential oils alleviated Xie De's inner pain and despair. Under Xiao Yao's moderately firm massage, although the migraine did not disappear, it became less unbearable.

Dong Quan wore a troubled expression, "That is Mr. Xie's personal belongings. We cannot even touch it, let alone open it. Miss Xin, I truly have no way to assist you. Why don't you call Mr. Xie yourself and discuss it with him?"

"However, you have proven through your actions that you are no different from other men who take advantage of others," Wang Yishi accused him sharply.

Wang Yishi quickly interrupted him, "Only you would say something like that. Do you know why those two men are so audacious? They know I am divorced, and divorced women are the easiest to take advantage of. Every man thinks this way, don't think I don't know. And you—" She paused, looking at him with a provocative gaze, "Aren't you also thinking the same?"

He escorted her back to Truffle Garden, where he saw the familiar, somewhat old building across the street—his fiancée was peacefully asleep there, completely unaware of what had transpired that evening. A wave of guilt surged within him once again. After settling Wang Yishi, he picked up his coat to leave. Wang Yishi slowly woke up in her bed, tugging at his pants, saying: "Don't go, okay? Just stay a little longer, just for a moment. I was really scared just now—"

Dong Quan waited outside for two hours. Seeing that there were still no signs of improvement, he brought in hot water and a towel, applying the wrung-out hot towel to his forehead. He continuously changed the towels, and his hands became red and swollen from the hot water. When he helped Xie De back from the bathroom, he found Xie De's eyes hollow and devoid of expression, his black pupils unfocused, and his hands and feet cold, yet the sheets beneath him were soaked with sweat. He immediately became alarmed and softly said in Xie De's ear: "Mr. Xie, we should go to the hospital!"

"Bar!" Wang Yishi mumbled two words indistinctly, clearly quite drunk. "I've run into trouble, come quickly!" As soon as she finished giving the address, a panicked scream came through the phone, followed by the call being disconnected. Wei first returned to the meeting room to inform everyone that he had to leave early, then grabbed his car keys and coat and rushed out.

He rushed over and pushed the two people aside, helping Wang Yishi up from her seat. Upon seeing him, Wang Yishi tightly wrapped her arms around his neck and began to cry, sobbing, "Wei Xian, I feel so unwell—" Her hair was disheveled, her gaze was vacant and unfocused, and her complexion was flushed like blood, clearly indicating that her condition was not solely due to drinking.

Dong Quan had no choice but to come out with the door

"Roses are indeed effective for circulation, but I have never seen such effectiveness before," Xiao Yao said enviously. When Xin Yitian offered her 300 yuan, she firmly declined, stammering, "Where did you buy this essential oil? Could you help me get a few bottles as well?"

Seeing her like this, he feared that she was like a ferocious beast, ready to launch an attack on her at any moment, without any restraint, his face stern as he sank into the sofa where she had just been sleeping

Oh, it is like this, a relative of mine just called me, suffering from a severe migraine. Isn't your massage technique quite good? Could you accompany me for a visit?

Wei is currently serving as the Sales General Manager for North China at a renowned foreign enterprise, which often requires him to work overtime and travel for business. One evening, while he was still at the office attending a meeting, he unexpectedly received a call from Wang Yishi. Since their confrontation, he had not been in contact with her. He stared at the screen in his hand, which was flashing incessantly, internally struggling with whether to answer. Suddenly, the call stopped, and he let out a sigh of relief. After a short while, his phone vibrated again, this time ringing for an extended period. He stepped out of the meeting room and stood in the silent, empty corridor, pressing the call button. He looked at the flashing screen in his hand, grappling with the decision of whether to answer. Suddenly, the call stopped, and he breathed a sigh of relief. After a brief moment, his phone vibrated again, ringing for a long time. He exited the meeting room and stood in the quiet, deserted hallway, pressing the call button.

Wang Yishi turned her head and said softly, "I don't know, when I first realized something was wrong, everyone had disappeared, leaving only me. That's why I called you."

Wang Yishi suddenly sat up in bed, raised her chin, and said to him: "Who says I only know unscrupulous friends? At least they are not like some upright and promising young men who avoid me like the plague"

He also went to see a doctor, underwent various examinations with different instruments, and the conclusion reached was that psychological and mental factors were the dominant causes. However, they could not provide a definitive solution to completely cure his migraine, only insisting that he reduce his workload and maintain a cheerful disposition, which left him fuming as he walked out with a dark expression.

After the fallout with Xie, Xin Yitian returned to her residence feeling dejected, as if a heavy burden of a thousand pounds was pressing down on her, making it difficult for her to breathe. She had no appetite at all, ate nothing, and fell asleep immediately, yet despite her evident fatigue, she could not manage to sleep. A multitude of thoughts flooded her mind, disturbing her peace. After tossing and turning in bed for more than two hours, she simply moved her computer to the bed and started watching a television series.

She took something and went out. First, she arrived at an inconspicuous beauty and body care shop near the community. From the window, she could see that the lights inside were still on, but the curtains had already been drawn, indicating that the small shop had closed for the day. She stood outside, knocked on the door, and softly called out: "Xiao Yao, are you asleep?"

When he arrived, he saw two men with ill intentions surrounding the drunken and dazed Wang Yishi, occasionally touching and groping her. Wang Yishi was too weak to resist, flailing her arms and shouting nonsensical phrases like "Go away, no, get lost—" but her words had little deterrent effect.

It seems to belong to Miss Xin herself, and the masseur is her friend

A woman in her thirties approached and opened the door, her long hair cascading down, wearing slippers and already dressed in pajamas. Upon seeing her, I was somewhat surprised, "It's so late, is there something wrong?"

After hanging up the phone, Xin Yitian was furious. She knew that Xie was doing it on purpose, and it might be another one of his pranks. She wanted to get the essential oil back but did not want to deal with him. In her frustration, she could only curse someone to vent her anger: "Who does that? To repay kindness with resentment, truly shameless!"

You used me up, and as soon as you put on your clothes, you turned your back on me, and you still dare to ask me why? The more Xie felt this way, the more he felt wronged. He hadn't done anything wrong; that night, she was clearly willing!

Dong Quanyi was momentarily at a loss for words when she asked him. On the other end of the phone, Xin Yitian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go over first and then we can talk, it's not far anyway." She let out a bitter laugh in her heart, feeling that at this moment, she was so angry that she would rather die than listen to her words.

Wei fell silent, a look of pain appearing on his face, as he turned his back to her and said: "I am someone who is to be married..."

The doctor had no other options; it was either an injection for pain relief or painkillers. The pain would subside eventually, as one would get used to it anyway. After saying this, Xie De could no longer hold on and collapsed onto the bed with a thud

Wei Xian did not pour her plain boiled water, but instead made her a strong cup of tea to help with the hangover. Wang Yishi, sulking, refused to get up. Wei Xian had no choice but to drag her out from under the covers to feed her the tea. She drank the hot tea from his hand, and after finishing a cup, a thin layer of sweat formed on her body, making her feel much better, and she soon fell asleep.

After the essential oil on the head was fully absorbed, the symptoms of headache improved somewhat, indicating the need to massage the back. Xiao Yao did not dare to object and went out to discuss changing the essential oil formula with Xin Yitian. Xin Yitian showed a look of difficulty, spread his hands, and said: "I am not a professional essential oil massage therapist... you can decide for yourself..."

"You are tired, I will get you a glass of water." He stood up and fled her bedroom as if escaping.

Seeing this, Dong Quan, who had been waiting outside the living room, quickly pulled Xiao Yao out first

Indeed, it is true that the wealth of the rich is not easily earned! By the way, that essential oil of yours is truly excellent; I washed my hands when I came out, and I can still smell it after such a long time

"I don't want anything, I just want to sleep quietly for a while." Xie, having suffered severe physical and mental trauma, was enduring the torment of a headache, and he appeared to be in a state of exhaustion. His face was buried under the pillow, and his hands were tightly pressed against the sides of the pillow in an attempt to alleviate the headache, but it was of little effect

When Xin Yitian learned that her essential oil had been "embezzled" by Xie, she felt as if her good intentions had been struck by lightning. She pleaded with Dong Quan: "Brother Dong, just take it from his box while he's not around, it's originally my thing anyway"

Do not use the massage cream, I have brought essential oil. Let's go

Xinyi Tian quietly told her the usage, "These are all high-concentration essential oils, using them directly can burn the skin. You should first try mixing one drop each of peppermint, rosewood, and lavender with a carrier oil to see if it has any effect." She picked out the few bottles of essential oils mentioned from the wooden box and cautioned, "The concentration of this essential oil is very high; when massaging the body, just a little bit is enough."

Xin Yitian did not enter the bedroom, but stayed in the living room outside the suite. She took out a wooden box approximately 40 centimeters long and 30 centimeters wide from her bag, and opened it to reveal a neatly arranged set of essential oils.

Dong Quan knew that at this moment he was afraid of the light, afraid of the cold, and afraid of the noise. He only turned on a wall lamp in the corridor, then quietly walked over to pull the curtains shut. "Mr. Xie, would you like to have some hot tea?"

"It won't happen, so don't worry," Xin Yitian reassured her, and then jokingly added, "If you get hit, I'll be the first to rush out and help you fight back." Xiao Yao smiled at her, feeling her tense mood begin to ease.

Xie nodded slightly, closed the wooden box lid, stood up, took out the suitcase from the wardrobe, placed the wooden box inside, and then put the suitcase back in.

Wei glared at the two men beside him, whose fates were still uncertain, his expression extremely grim, and shouted angrily: "Aren't you two going to get lost? Are you looking for a fight?" As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to step forward. The two men exchanged glances, and seeing his tall and imposing figure, which was not easy to bully, they took the opportunity to slip away.
