Chapter 1436 - 1433: Exhausting and Heartbreaking

Chapter 1436: Chapter 1433: Exhausting and Heartbreaking

The head feels so heavy, gradually losing consciousness... this dream.

It’s such a long, long dream. Both heart-wrenching and exhausting. Against the waves, the beauty is gone, fallen flowers make one look weary, but no matter how fierce the storm is, afterward, the rainbow still fills the sky. The blue becomes clearer and seems to flaunt a more beautiful and luxurious life.

...

Three months later in Country H.

Yanxi Villa

It’s a special day. Every year on June 5th is Qiao Muyun’s birthday, so in another day, which is June 6th, is Zi Ruoxi and Li Yaxuan’s birthday. Therefore, these two days are very very important days, but to avoid trouble, all three felt that it should be low-key and simple, celebrating an extraordinary birthday together one day. So, this PARTY is indispensable.

Not grand or luxurious but warm. That’s enough.

"Knock knock knock... knock knock knock..." A series of gentle knocks on the door. The handsome man standing at the door was still thinking about what to say. Yet, no one responds from inside. His handsome face slightly frowns, raising his hand to knock again.

"Don’t knock, she’s not here." Li Yaxuan responds from behind him, arms crossed, looking disdainfully at the man with a ponytail. His hair is smooth and straight, indicating he’s someone who loves cleanliness.

Upon hearing the voice, Qiao Muyun turns around in surprise.

"Where did she go?" Qiao Muyun asks.

"Where else, she went shopping early this morning with that Xiao Shan." Li Yaxuan replies, weakly, but there’s a mysterious smile in his eyes.

"Oh." Qiao Muyun acknowledges, turns back, ready to leave, when passing by Li Yaxuan, his shoulder is casually grabbed by the person next to him.

"Qiao Muyun, well, is she... are you satisfied now? Did I do what I promised, I returned a beauty to you. Shouldn’t you express something?" Li Yaxuan speaks ambiguously, his pure face with a contrasting evil heart, his captivating Jian Shui eyes clear, reflecting the other’s image.

Damn!

Anger rises from Dantian. Fortunately, he only clenches his fist without swinging it. After all, the person in front of him saved her!

"Li, Ya, Xuan." Qiao Muyun says each word clearly, his emerald eyes showing unbearable limits, his face full of anger. Shaking off his shoulder, staring at him, and says fiercely, "Let me tell you, I am not like you. Don’t think that just because you saved Zi Ruoxi, you can say such insulting words to me at will! The money is already given, don’t think you can keep entangling, I’ll take Zi Ruoxi and leave here tomorrow."

The other party hears this, seemingly unconcerned, laughing lightly and calmly.

"Insulting?" He repeats with some self-mockery, then indifferently, in a peculiar tone, "Are you really noble, Qiao Muyun? You want to leave, then leave! No one is stopping you, but can you stop her actions? You say leave, can she leave with you?" This is undoubtedly mockery, Li Yaxuan laughs somewhat insidiously, "Why bother? Making it like this with me! Zi Ruoxi finds it hard to be in the middle, you need to think more for her..."

Qiao Muyun listens, face darkens. Indeed, Li Yaxuan’s words are not without reason, since Zi Ruoxi’s surgery, Li Yaxuan has guided her rehabilitation during this recovery period. Now, she listens to this person very well, to be frank, he is her benefactor of reconstruction. This deep kindness is something she won’t discard. It’s not something money can replace.

Seeing Qiao Muyun silent, Li Yaxuan knows that he has somewhat listened to his words and understands them. Then, stepping forward two steps, arm again rests on his shoulder. An immediate discomfort makes Qiao Muyun feel a strong resistance. Yet, his hand moves slightly, hasn’t shaken off, maybe due to lack of full strength, Qiao Muyun did not expect Li Yaxuan would suddenly invade fully.

When conscious, it’s too late.

This ambiguous scene might tear apart in an instant but, at this moment, a strange sound arises from downstairs.

"Ah!" Xiao Shan entering the door screams, mouth agape, staring blankly at the third floor. The scenery on the third floor is too dazzling, especially Qiao Muyun is pressed on the railing, upper body leaning outward, almost overturning.

"...Eh!" Following behind, Zi Ruoxi also exclaims, head slightly upturned, eyes fixed at that spot, unable to believe, brain blank in one second, dizzy the next! What’s going on! Having a birthday doesn’t need to be played like this!

Upon hearing the cries, the two upstairs are startled. Both pause, bodies instinctively stiffen, then, Qiao Muyun suddenly pushes Li Yaxuan away, his handsome face terribly embarrassed, blushing white with shame.

Barely glaring at the initiator again, turning to look down, uh, she...

In that second, he is stunned.

She changed! She specifically went out to get a makeover, completely new from head to toe, slightly longer hair trimmed boyish, short on both sides, ends frayed. The sides gather toward the top center, thick air-inspired curls slightly puff up, creating wavy bangs placed irregularly at the forehead. The hair color returned to black, not mixed with any extra colors.

After months of recuperation, her face has mostly recovered, skin is smooth and glossy without a single trace, delicate enough to blow off. Due to further resetting and styling, her face looks whiter and tenderer than before. Her jaw is processed too, chin sharper, lengthened slightly, shaping the face more three-dimensionally. Including lips’ outline refashioned, nose reformed, more elegant, inner eye corners opened, and artificial eyeliner applied. Essentially, her entire face is recreated.

Country H’s advanced plastic surgery technology returned her another face, completely different from the original. If the former face with classical grace, then this perfectly three-dimensional face now is poetically gorgeous, unique with a pure Korean style, vibrant yet unobtrusive, rich with a blend of East-West charm.

The only constant is the eye color, those beautiful, radiant brown eyes always crystal clear, the dreamy Korean style strong in them too. Paired with a simple black checkered shirt and matching black checkered culottes, not overly long, just above the knees, though hiding the S-curve figure, it still irresistibly stimulates imagination with the graceful "landscape" within the shirt.
