Chapter 1442: Chapter 1439: Surgery Also Comes with Risks

Zi Ruoxi was speaking, while Li Yaxuan kept thinking about one question.

Although her face looked aesthetically beautiful, it was indeed like she said, nothing in the world is perfect. Even surgeries come with risks.

The surgery performed on her used the most advanced equipment and the most sophisticated techniques available in the world. The principle was simple: place an expander next to the scar, then use the expanded skin to replace the scar. However, the expander can compress the bone during the expansion process, and there may be knife scars. The replaced skin might not grow the same as the original skin on the base, causing the two sides of the face to be asymmetrical in terms of thickness and thinness. But judging from her current appearance, her face did not have such hidden risks, yet there was a possibility it hurt the nerves of the parotid gland.

Another reason could be related to her previous scar’s constitution, plus a bit of luck. In short, there are many factors. One cannot generalize. Or, after a long period of time, the nerves in the parotid gland might slowly heal, but it’s not certain.

Li Yaxuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Suddenly, Jian Shui’s enchanting eyes lit up. Got it...

"Zi Ruoxi, let me touch and see where it hurts." Li Yaxuan said and reached out, touching her cheek.

His touch felt completely different from others. Although he wasn’t wearing a white coat, there was an instant transformation; at this moment, Li Yaxuan was the professional doctor, helping her heal and diagnose.

With her eyes closed, her face let him touch it at will. It was as if he was playing with the most valuable piece of art, and this artwork belonged to him. Indeed, he had crafted her face, giving her the chance to once again overlook the world and captivate people.

......

At the same time, their actions were being watched by another person. Qiao Muyun was standing at the villa’s doorway. Seeing the two of them talking, he didn’t approach. He just stood there from afar, observing their every move. Li Yaxuan’s overly intimate contact with her made him unhappy, yet he couldn’t act up, only endure silently. Because he knew that guy was helping her heal, again and again... the pain lingered in his heart, watching another man touch her face at will... although that guy was her doctor, he was also a man, no matter what, it was unbearable. He witnessed it, enduring it deep inside.

Li Yaxuan’s two fingers touched and slid across her face, starting from every bit of skin, gently pressing and kneading. Occasionally, he lingered on one spot, gradually increasing the pressure, and from time to time, he asked, "Does it hurt?" Zi Ruoxi answered every question, cooperating well with his therapy.

"It’s okay." "It hurts, don’t press so hard." Zi Ruoxi responded occasionally, frowning deeply. Extremely uncomfortable.

Li Yaxuan slowly eased the pressure, his fingers gently drawing circles on her cheeks, then pushing them to the forehead, massaging continuously. Finally, his force slid down, stopping at her chin, one hand lightly lifting her sharp, alluring chin.

"Zi Ruoxi, open your eyes!" Li Yaxuan softly whispered, as if awakening a sleeping beauty in a dream. His face suddenly approached hers, just a foot away, allowing him to see very clearly.

Zi Ruoxi obediently opened her eyes, meeting a pair of invincible, charming Jian Shui pupils. Oh, so attractive! Zi Ruoxi’s mind suddenly went blank for a second.

Then, he smiled, charming, clean. However, he hadn’t let her go, his hand still outlining her smooth chin.

"Zi Ruoxi, there’s a way to ease your pain." Li Yaxuan spoke mysteriously, with a hint of secrecy, his pure face smiling innocently.

"What method?" Zi Ruoxi was a bit confused. She didn’t understand why he wasn’t saying it directly, and today, he seemed different from usual. Normally, he would naturally let go after the face therapy, but today, he hadn’t... and he teasingly lifted her chin like that. It made her feel a bit nervous and pressured.

"Kissing." Two concise words. Li Yaxuan’s gaze was very calm.

"Uh......" Zi Ruoxi was a bit stunned. Was this shocking enough? Brother Ya Xuan! She silently shouted in her heart, but couldn’t voice it out. Because she knew, he wasn’t joking.

"Want to try it, Zi Ruoxi?" Li Yaxuan’s gentle voice, sounded particularly melodious now. The Jian Shui pupils radiating clear light, reflecting her unparalleled beauty. To kiss his perfect creation, he seemed eager to try.

The pain on her cheeks surged, making her thoughts somewhat entangled.

"You should trust me, I’m your attending doctor!" Li Yaxuan’s voice was highly balanced, without any waves. Without love or desire, only to alleviate her pain, just like a person drowning needs artificial respiration... it’s all a last resort.

Zi Ruoxi bit her inner lip. Contemplated for a second.

"...Alright..." Zi Ruoxi responded slowly. She couldn’t name what she was feeling, kissing a man who wasn’t because of love... hmm... her thoughts shouldn’t be so narrow-minded, Brother Ya Xuan is a very dedicated doctor! Someone she should be able to trust!

Li Yaxuan lifted Zi Ruoxi’s chin, his pure face overflowing with an elegant smile. Watching Zi Ruoxi, she seemed a bit uneasy at the moment, her large eyes didn’t dare to meet his gaze. Li Yaxuan suddenly changed his gesture, his other hand also gently touched her face, slowly moving to the parotid gland area, holding her face with both hands, leaning his body forward, getting closer to her.

Zi Ruoxi’s cheeks were burning intensely now, yet there was no visible redness on the surface. That was likely because the newly grown skin was still adjusting. Slowly, she closed her eyes, her face tightened, her body somewhat tense as well.

"Zi Ruoxi, relax... don’t be nervous." Li Yaxuan mumbled softly, just a fist’s distance, already approaching her face.

Upon hearing his words, Zi Ruoxi hadn’t adapted when she felt a numbing sensation on her lips, but before it could linger, suddenly, he moved away quickly. Then, she heard an "Ugh!" of pain, and Zi Ruoxi opened her eyes in shock.

What she saw in front of her was...

It was unclear when Qiao Muyun rushed in, grabbed Li Yaxuan’s collar with one hand, and delivered a punch to his abdomen. Li Yaxuan bent over in pain. Just as Qiao Muyun was about to throw a second punch, a delicate figure quickly intervened in front of Li Yaxuan.

"No—" Zi Ruoxi shouted. She ran over, spreading her arms to protect Li Yaxuan.

Seeing the person in front of him, Qiao Muyun’s dark green eyes darkened.

"Zi Ruoxi, get out of the way. Today I’m going to properly teach this bastard in sheep’s clothing a lesson!" Qiao Muyun yelled angrily, his handsome face stern, tinged with an iron-like hue.
